2022 Select SR 3 years in

[jasonpel]

Had mine for 3 years now. Aside from a fault with the door opening mechanism in the first couple of weeks, this car has been perfect.

For reference, I'm in Canada on the west coast, so our weather is very similar to that or Oregon or Washington.

Haven't had any significant range drop, no HVBJB problems, no sensor issues, no 12V battery drain, none of the common things people bring up.

The car still drives, rides and responds like it did on day one, or it's decline has been so gradual and minimal that I haven't noticed. I still look back at the car almost every time I park it, it's been fantastic in every way.

While I recognize that not every engineering and design team will be 100% right all the time, there are only 2 things I would change on this car. These are very minor, too.

1) it sits high. I think the car is sitting about 2 inches higher than it should, considering its capabilities and performance. Lea e all else the same, just drop it a tiny bit.

2) Enviro controls. Bring back the buttons, it's dangerous trying to navigate Enviro controls with them fully integrated into to co tril screen like that.
-My first suggestion is to integrate these controls into the rather large bezel of the control/info screen. Think of early smartphones where the back/home/recent apps buttons were always lit up. This format is a double win because it restores the button convenience and functionality while not changing any other aspect of the console construction/layout.

Overall, I absolutely love this car and I look forward to driving it every time.

Hopefully the community at large enjoys theirs as much as I do.

Late addition: I was skeptical about ceramic coating, but I got a great deal (volume discount when 5 of us had our cars done at same shop) and as a former skeptic I can definitively state that it's worth it. Gave a warmth to its colour that wasn't there before.

Great to hear. I am coming up on 3 years with a 2022 select as well. My only issue has been the brake rotor wear due to lack of brake use. Otherwise, totally bulletproof and still very fun the drive.

I have a 2021 Space White select, purchased Mar of 2022, so now 3 years, same experience as you, flawless!

Ride height I think is a result from the battery, that large steel case under the car raises the height, very similar to my Bolt.

Climate control would be so much better if we could save 3 or 4 presets. So I would have my Summer (Auto 1, 72 degrees) my Winter (Auto 1, 67 degrees) and then Mid (fan speed 1, no heat, no a/c, temp at lowest, mid vents)

If we could preset a few choices I would never need to fiddle with settings.
