    Tesla can easily fix problem with heated steering wheel

    Okay, so this isn't earth shattering, but now that cold weather is upon us, I'm back to griping about a bad UI decision by Tesla. A question: when it's cold and you decide to turn on your heated seat, what's the chance you'd like the heated steering wheel as well? In my case, it's about 100%...

    Seat headrest doesn't stay down

    My wife is short, but likes having the front passenger seat far back (room for "purse" which is really a large basket.) Of course, the original X seats moved the head rests automatically - move the seat back, head rest goes up. A great example of over automation, assuming the only reason for...

    Investing in Tesla as an act of hope and empowerment

    Is government support for a transition to green energy dead? Will Trump’s government end subsidies to green solutions while maintaining subsidies to big oil? Are you among those who believe that this is an existential issue? Democracy’s power is based on one person one vote. Whereas capitalism...

    Wrong radio station

    Since the last update, I've noticed that when the car turns on, the radio switches to the same unwanted XM station, rather than the FM station I routinely listen to, forcing me to change it every time I get in the car. Anyone else see anything similar? Not sure if it's specific to systems with...

    Second row seat movement logic

    I'm curious if this is the behavior you're all having. I move the second row seat forward a little in order to give some knee room to third row (it crushes the knees of most adults if I don't). However, when I move the seats all the way forward for ingress, the system returns the middle seat to...

    Tesla needs a better software test plan

    Back in my medical software development days, we spent quite a bit of time developing and evolving "test plans." These were a written testing procedure we would use with every update, specifying a series of actions we would do to be sure that each update not only did what it was supposed to do...

    4000 mile 10 day road trip from Port Townsend to Phoenix and back

    Three days after picking up our new X in Seattle, my wife and I headed down along Hood Canal on 101, supercharged for the very first time in Centralia (our first Tesla) and managed to arrive in the 90 degree heat of Phoenix via a detour to Santa Barbara in four days. There we hooked up with...

    Need manual retraction of spoiler for car wash

    Just brought our X home to Port Townsend and had long chat with our local detailer who put on a "ceramic" coating (please don't ask the name--I'm terrible with such details.) Anyway, I'd been hesitant about using an automatic car wash. He claims the new technologies are actually less apt to...

    Maximum "real world" range

    I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseum somewhere else. I'm am anticipating getting my Sig X sometime in the next few months and have been thinking about real world driving. On the Olympic Peninsula, our speed limits are typically 40-50mph with a few 60mph areas. Most of the data on...
