The 2024 Tesla Model 3 , despite the improvements introduced, continues to present some common problems among users. Below, the most relevant failures encountered:
1. Touchscreen and infotainment system malfunctions : The central system, which controls many vehicle functions, often freezes or slows down. This can negatively affect critical functions such as gear shifting and climate control, which are primarily operated via the touchscreen.
2. Suspension Noises : Even though Model 3 has improved its ride quality, some owners report rattling or creaking noises from the suspension, especially when driving on rough roads. This is a common problem and affects some older models as well.
3. Autopilot and sensor issues : Autopilot cameras and sensors sometimes need recalibration or suffer from software bugs, causing errors in obstacle detection or lane keeping.
4. Battery degradation : Despite the use of advanced batteries (LFP and NMC), some users have reported a decrease in autonomy over time, particularly evident in models that travel long distances or are recharged frequently.
5. Aerodynamic noise and vibrations : Some owners have complained of noise and vibrations coming from the panoramic roof or side mirrors, which become more noticeable at high speeds, reducing cabin comfort.
6. Climate control system faults : Problems with the cooling and heating system have been reported, with some users reporting failures of the heated seats or the climate control, especially in more extreme climates.
7. Premature brake wear : While regenerative braking helps reduce wear, some users have noticed premature degradation of the rotors and pads, especially under more aggressive driving conditions.
Tesla addresses many of these issues through software updates, but some may require physical service. Despite the glitches, the Model 3 remains highly regarded for its performance and comfort.
