Tesla cars have more cameras than any other car, but amazingly lag behind others (Kia, MG, etc) when it comes to reversing/maneuvering assistance. You get the rear and two rear-facing side camera views, but with my 2019 Model S at least, there's nothing showing the front corners, so I can't see...

When I got my Tesla Model S I was amazed to discover that you can't simply set start and end times for charging. You seem to be able to set one or other, but not both. It seems to be tied up with battery percentage and departure time, but what if I simply want to charge as much as possible on...

On my 2019 Model S the auto dipping headlights dip very quickly when detecting oncoming traffic, but then take an age (sometimes several seconds) to return to high beam. This is really dangerous on unlit roads, so please enhance the auto dipping algorithm to return high beam as quickly as it...

The round steering wheel on my 2019 Model S obscures the top corners of the front dash screen, so I can't see the headlight indicators or the top part of the satnav display. The obscuring is worse on the left than the right, and interestingly, the right hand top corner of the screen doesn't have...

I totally AGREE with this thread! My 2019 Model S regen is weak compared with other EVs I've owned. When slowing down from moderate to high speed, it starts OK, at around 60kw, but then dips as the car slows, just when you want it to be stronger. Then disappears altogether around 8mph, so just...

That is, both USB ports in my car have devices permanently plugged in (sentry storage and music stick).

Has anyone been able to connect a bluetooth controller to an older S (2016-2021)? I have a 2019, with M2 screen and would love to be able to use a bluetooth controller (both my USBs are taken!).

One real surprise I had when first driving my 2019 100D is there's not even an option for one pedal driving (regen bringing the car to a complete stop). The regen is just about strong enough when decellerating from moderate speed, but it seems to cut out at 8mph, whereupon the car appears to...

Hi folks, I've just acquired a 2019 100D and drove it for the first time in rain today. the "automatic wipe" feature really didn't work well at all. It was fine in full rain (so the rain sensor does appear to be working), but in spray the wiper sensor didn't seem to notice water on the screen. I...

I've just acquired a 2019 100D and I love the car, but there are a couple of GLARING OMISSIONS in the otherwise world-class software. First: NO SCHEDULED CHARGE START/STOP!!! you can either set a start time, or a stop time, but bizarrely not both, whcih is ridiculous! I've been driving electric...
