So... if we're willing to sacrifice a little aerodynamic efficiency we could get something with the "performance of a Porsche" that also has a reduced radar profile? I can now justify redirecting some of my annual speeding-ticket budget toward paying for this thing!

Seems we're now up to RN11286xxxx

Wow. I ran into this on multiple (android) devices, all of which previously worked fine, all of which suddenly got stuck with the "unable to connect to mytesla" error. Each device needed the app to be uninstalled and reinstalled for it to work again on that device. Strange, but it worked.

I'd be willing to bet that within a few weeks of these getting into the hands of engineers, someone will figure out how to jailbreak the thing and bypass the marketing brain damage. I'll be buying one, gambling on the likelihood that even if the developer never gets the clue there's a good...

Well, of course none of US are boring. It's just that the boring folk are starting to own the same cars as us. Personally, I've noticed a significant drop in returned waves/gestures in the past six months. But I figure if I keep doing it, eventually we'll get these newer owners trained too.

Whatever is keeping the iphone app working must be iphone specific. The android app seems to have stopped working about the same time that the server stopped talking to my scripts. I also just had the 5.9 upgrade, so I'd assumed that was the culprit until seeing this thread.

It's not that they're hard to implement, it's that they're very hard to tack on afterwards to a design that didn't account for such a feature to begin with. That aside, I'm sure that given enough information ahead of an upgrade and the choice to accept or decline, would significantly reduce the...

They really ought to just give you the choice. Then you could select between "intuitive" or "original" flavor of sun roof/cruise control. Make "intuitive" the default and then eventually they could just drop the "original" option from newer models due to lack of interest. Just like the 40kWh...

Please add me as well. And thank you for all your work on this!

I would be interested as well.

That's sounds like a great plan, assuming you can convince Tesla to 1) sell the parts separately, and 2) turn on the software for options that they didn't install.

Their specs page describes "Hand wrapped microfiber and synthetic leather interior surfaces". The options page mentions "Nappa leather seats...". The "Extensive leather throughout" part is just vague enough for them to change their mind about what surfaces it...

If these really are a seamless swap for the stock 19s, I'm totally in for a set!

A remote interface of my phone on the touch screen would unleash so much more potential than we'll ever actually see from in-house development or even "selected 3rd party" development. Tesla has done a great job of trying to push the limits compared to what any other car company is doing for...
