1. the range indicator is totally misleading. i have never managed to get more than about 60% of the stated 240 mile range driving at 'normal' uk motorway speeds (80mph)
2. i find the windscreen wipers baffling to use and ineffective. i also get 'washer fluid low' warning all the time when it's full, but that's just one of the build quality issues and i'm sure it's easily fixable.
3. faulty door handles - passenger side doesn't retract at all. the drivers side handle pings back in like it has been fired at the car from a catapult.
4. rear lights have condensation in them, which i assume is because of poorly fitted seals. again, easily fixable i'm sure, but it reduces confidence in the all round quality of build/assembly.
5. the interior trim around the door frames is not well fitted which leads to inconsistent closing of windows and excessive noise.
5. handling - in the dry, it is twitchy. in damp conditions it is very twitchy. in wet conditions it feels to me rather like how i would imagine it would feel riding a moto gp bike in the wet over cobbles. on slick tyres.
6. auto pilot is useful in slow moving traffic, but nervy at motorway speeds. it doesn't react to cars moving into my lane and sometimes brakes hard for (apparently) absolutely no reason. auto lane change is inconsistent. the dealer told me that the car 'learns' as it gets used, but i'm not convinced!
7. automatic park inconsistent, and not always offered. i think this might still be in beta, which is fair enough, but one of my colleagues had a vw passatt 8 years ago with this feature fully working.
8. never managed to pair my calendar with the vehicle. a minor niggle, but it shouldn't be offered as a feature if it doesn't work.
9. the toggle on the steering wheel used to select phone contacts slips easily, making it difficult to send and end calls.
10. quality of switch gear is very poor. i didn't think i would mind this when i was test driving the car, but it actually annoys me more every time i use the vehicle.

1. i don't know if you're using ideal range or rated range but for an s75 to get 240 miles @ 80mph is a pipe dream. whomever told you take is just plain wrong.
2. take to service center
3. take to service center
4. this is a problem that has plagued tesla for a long time. not even sure if the problem is fixed at this point. suggest you contact service center
5a. take to service center
5b. never had a problem with my tires but then again i have awd. the rwd loaner i used had bald and under inflated tires that was scary.
6. i take it you have eap? make sure you're on the latest firmware. my understanding is eap has been getting better with each iteration. i think eap in model 3 performs better than original ap but i came in while eap was working better rather than the earlier iterations. take the car in to service and they automatically put on on the latest version.
7. i think this has always been the case, in fact now with eap it tends to overcompensate by showing parking spaces available when it should like when you're next to a car at a light.
8. you need to use the tesla app on your phone for it to sync.
9. i don't think i've had issues with contacts using the wheel but i've vented my panoramic roof by accident more than a few times. take it to service center.
10. i take it you mean the gear stalk? never had issues with mine. how is it poor quality?

in case this hasn't set in to you, a lot of these issues should be taken care of through your service center. you never mention if you've taken it in so it doesn't make sense to air these grievances before tesla has a chance to make things right.
