Dude what? They're bright blue/aqua... 
EDIT: Probably looking down your nose so much at the Evo drivers the angle cuts off the roof racks from view

lol what a noob
@ EvoFire - Disappointed you don't own/drive a Prius. I'd believe it more than your grey M3.

Ok for AMA then? So many questions. What do you do when you find bukkake stains on the seats? Is it anything like a smoking surcharge, since I imagine semen is a pretty tough smell to get out of upholstery? Does anyone ever swap parts with y'all's cars? You ever come back to find the motor was swapped, and maybe the radio from a lower trim because someone did some trading with their own Prius?

TBH, the yoke is indifferent to me while driving. I find it neither more comfortable, nor more troublesome. I picked it simply because it offered a better view.
The first day is weird because many maneuvers that I'm used to doing on a normal steering wheel required some adjustment. But after a day, I find exactly where my hands should be, even when doing something like end to end turning.
The part I do find superior is the fact that there's no more stalk. Everything is at my fingertips. I no longer need to reach my arm out for turn signals or wipers. Everything is just there. So when I want to get into my lazy driving position, now it's even lazier.

I currently have a Tesla Model 3 Performance and I test drove the long range Model S last week with the yoke steering wheel and after driving it only for 20 minutes I found it challenging parking without the full steering wheel. I liked the improved vision with the yoke but hated the small turn signal buttons on the steering wheel and small horn button on the steering wheel. I am sure it gets easier with time but I was thinking this was change just for the sake of change.
After driving the Model S I was pretty disappointed with the minimal improvement in interior quality over my model 3 and I much preferred the smaller size and lighter weight of the model 3.

I was sitting in the middle and 3rd row of a model x today and it's actually pretty cramped in the 3rd row with the 6 seat option. The 3 row seats are squished together as that's where the wheel wells are plus the structure roof for the doors takes up a lot of head room.

People just aren't used to it and are against new ideas.

I know we got our cars around the same time. Warranty is coming up for me next week.

Sadly, we don't seem to have a decent 3rd party option regarding inspection for Tesla or EV in general. (if anyone knows any tech specialized in EV/Tesla, please do share. As far as I know, only Alberta and Ontario seems to have people who ventured into 3rd party EV/Tesla shops)
But you can always pay Tesla for time to inspect the items. And if they are found to show signs of problems, the inspection fee would be covered by warranty.

My car has 23k so yeah they found nothing wrong or anything id need to get tesla to replace.
Very nice guys that took time to explain the car and what i should be keeling an eye out for in the future.

The only warranty items I had covered was replacing the rear spoiler that was never properly installed at the factory and also I had a defective part replaced by my front wheel 2 years ago that was making a rubbing/squeaking sound when I turned my steering wheel after it had rained heavily. This was apparently a known defect because they changed to a different part after my car was manufactured.
Other than that the car has been very reliable. The only maintenance I have had after 4 years and 60,000 km is rotating my wheels, changing the windshield wipers, and changing the cabin air filter.

But couple of months before the warranty expired, the heater core failed. It was replaced, and if it was an out of warranty fix, the cost would have been $1200
