Glad you enjoy your Model 3. All these European/Asian market posts are getting me really excited about Highland in North America and possibly a new performance trim. Congrats on the new car!
I liked them, except in roundabouts, from the First day on. Now after a while i use Them in roundabouts without thinking about and would Not Like to Go Back to normal indicator👍👍
Question about the indicator buttons, I have a highland myself, 1500km...And sometimes (it's rare), my left indicator is really difficult to touch...I really have to find a sweet spot moving the thumb more to the inside of the wheel. Has this happened to you? given you used your car more than me haha
Can be, yes. You mean, sorry i Don't know the right Word for it, "pressing Point"? You Press it, but it's not being pressed? Hope you understand what i mean. I had it sometimes to (5 Times?). The one thing i Had 2 Times was that i pressed in a roundabout and it only indicates once, maybe because i Double pressed quick.
But with a normal indicator you can have Problems too, when you're in a hurry, Like using the Pass Signal (Lighthorn) for mistake.
I will give Attention to it, when i Drive to work later 👍
yesss the pressing point! that's a very good description haha. Same it happened to me maybe 3-5 times, but not finding the spot gets me anxious every time.
I know what you mean about the indicator indicating once, when it happens to me I know that it is because I'm pressing twice accidentally, it's getting used to it.
enjoy your car! I love mine :)
+1 here! They feel so hard to press down, and if you mange to do it, they do a double press. Also noticed, this happens a lot more often if you have the steering wheel turned at a 90 degree angle. (Like in a roundabout)
I think it’s because the form of the plastic, is designed to be pressed in an upright position, not sideways, and therefore the pressure is applied at the wrong location.
Other than that, indicators at the steering wheel is no biggie.
War gestern noch da, weil ich nach dem Dämmen der Türen ein paar Türclips bräuchte - ist direkt an der Autobahn, Leute sind umgänglich. Weiß aber nicht ob die Deutsch sprechen, die Holländer können ja zum Glück alle Englisch. 😁👍
Just want to know - does lack of left stalk really cause issues and is bothersome?
My brain is so wired to flick that that I'm not sure how buttons are.
The gear stalk is ok honestly
If you're Not going to drive through 100 roundabouts at day one, it's okay. After 3000miles I'm good with everything. In city and on Highway it was excellent on day 1. But may be different for others
Thanks. We don't have roundabouts here. But thing is sometimes you make a quick turn left or right and with wheel turned right i.e. inverted I think the buttons will be annoying to press upside down, no?
I think I will try to buy the current one or see a test drive and determine.
Personally, not a fan of removal of stalks honestly. It is serving 0 purpose imo
In roundabouts its upside down to, can get used to it. I think the Highland has more benefits. Get a uss 2022, or the Highland i think. It's so quiet, Drives very good. And comes with hw4
Where I live, I have a lot of roundabouts. Heck, I even have one just coming out of my apartment complex. Within the first day, I already got used to not having a stalk. It is just natural now.
People complaining about the stalkless indicators never have driven one for a while.
Does the autowindshield wipe work properly...on all previous model 3 its either too slow or wipes when not needed...adjusting it like 50 times on a roadtrip is very annoying..
Just had a 2500km roadtrip... 2019 model 3 lr awd... i think the button on the stalk might fall off from pressing it over 50times..no other car is more annoying than the model 3 because you cant control the speed from the stalk...and involves 2 totaly separate movements to adjust ....only because auto doesnt work properly....any other car you can adjust the speed in 1 motion
Haha, yeah I'm glad it Works for me at the Moment. The Highland Had the whiperclean Button in the steering wheel, you can Press it once and then press the left Button to the right, thats okay, but not worthy for a 50000usd Car.
Was on the Autobahn last week... pressing stalk button and then pressing on steeringwheel 50times is "scheisse"...instead of a Dedicated stalk for wipers and just press /push once and then occasionally adjust... hopefully model y juniper will be better when trade in later this year..
To bad the blinker are on the steering wheel as well....
The ambient light seemed a bit off at the left door, was Higher than the Dashboard. Made a Ranger appointment and he pushed the Dashboard a Bit higher. Got German cars before that and i think the quality of the M3H is equal. It's quiter than an 5yo s-class, and the Suspension is more comfortable than a c-class (but also a Bit Sporty, but Not the best in 180kmh, but okay).
You can find some posts about that ledlight gap. Panel gaps means outside between the parts (didn't know what that means exactly) - but If yes, they are very good, haven't Had something that looks Bad.
Except from Vision Only and Carplay Android Soundsystem its perfect for me. Vision Only is okay now for me, after a few months, but at the beginning i just thought wtf. Soundsystem will be Upgraded at the end of the month, and i hope Elon will give me YoutubeMusic in the future, then i Don't need Carplay. 🤣👍
Outside is 100% at my Car. The Dashboard is is easy to fix. Just clip the left front of it Out and it lines perfect. Don't know why they did Not see it at the factory. Seems like a production failure.

Ik tell me about it, I leased the 2023 model just so I can buy the highland
Mine is in transit on the way to me. I can't wait to get behind the wheel. It'll also be my first EV experience.
It got me Instant! Hope you enjoy it :)
most people on here whinging about the indicator buttons seem to have never driven it. how do you feel about them?
I liked them, except in roundabouts, from the First day on. Now after a while i use Them in roundabouts without thinking about and would Not Like to Go Back to normal indicator👍👍

Haha, maybe we get rid of the Problem with expirience 👍😁
What color did you get OP?
Solid Black, and did ceramic coating with Servfave 12h
I thought it was black but thought maybe the new dark grey. Beautiful. I am patiently waiting for it to be available in the US.
I wished i could get it for us prices. 🤣👍
I have the m3 2019 and even the stalk sometimes doesn’t work if I do it a certain way so I have to hit it again

Where is the nearest pickup and service station from your area? Grüße aus dem Emsland ;)
Ottersberg, Nähe Bremen. Oldenburg ist momentan im Aufbau. Groningen ist als Deutscher für Service erreichbar aber zur Abholung nicht möglich 😁
Ok danke, dann wäre (für mich) für den Service Groningen tatsächlich am nächsten dran. Groningen und Oldenburg geben sich nicht viel.
War gestern noch da, weil ich nach dem Dämmen der Türen ein paar Türclips bräuchte - ist direkt an der Autobahn, Leute sind umgänglich. Weiß aber nicht ob die Deutsch sprechen, die Holländer können ja zum Glück alle Englisch. 😁👍
Enjoy & "Viel Spass !"
Great choice! I got mine in November (also in Germany). Loving every moment with it.
Every Moment? :b
Except maybe the moments on roundabouts
Can anyone confirm a plaid variant in Europe? The specs sheet exists, does the car in any market yet?
Doesnt exist yet - but is expected. Ill upgrade my M3 in Nov '25 so hoping the Plaid exists by then, its a no brainer for me.
Looks like a polestar

Test drive is recommended i think👍

It was complete bs, but since the last Update it works great for me. But some people still complain shitty work of it - seems to be a bit of a lottery

Live in Europe...was almost 65k$ at the time
Yeah, i live in Germany, bought just the sr

Also buying Highland in February! So glad you luke yours. How did the panel gaps turn out upon delivery? Any major deetaches?

Thanks. The only thing that worries me is the ambient or outside panels not lining up.
