So far, I've discovered two things about my Model S that make me wonder.
The first one is the way the high beams have a noticeable lag when turned off. You flip the switch down, they turn on instantly. You pull it back up, there's a delay of up to half a second, then they turn off. The delay is variable in length, too. So I am driving on a curvy road at night, for example, at night, with high beams, and another car comes around a turn. I quickly pull on the stalk, but the high beams stay on, and continue to blind the other driver for about half a second.
Likewise, I can't 'flash' the high beams, but rather 'turn them on an off for a short but unpredictable amount of time'
Does everyone have that 'feature'? I'll talk to the Service Center when I'm next there, but it's quite frustrating.
Another thing that puzzles me is my apparent inability to answer the phone/hang up using the controls on the steering wheel. Is that even possible? When a call comes in, it pops up on the main screen, but not on the side panels of the dashboard. And no manipulation that I could find brings up a menu that would say 'answer the call'. Similarly, I haven't found a way to hang up without having to switch half of the main screen to phone and pressing a button there. Am I missing something?
