I have a 2017 Model S and am proud that we “early adopters” helped Elon Musk prove that EV’s were the way of the future. I also know that we paid way up front for features that were on the drawing board, but not available. For example, I paid $5,000 in 2017 for FSD and it still is not available...

The Sentry mode is bit of a battery hog. I left it on while parked in a hotel parking lot a full day (our conference meetings were in the hotel), and found, to my dismay, that Sentry cost me about 2 miles of range per hr. After I had lost about 50 miles of range the first day, I turned it off...

When I am approaching a stop sign or red light at a rate of speed that doesn't feel comfortable, I will use the AP stalk to tap down the speed 5 to 10 mph rather than hold my breath to see if Flo (my nickname for my Model S) is going to stop. I feel safer doing this and it is not as surprising...

One of the members in this thread just complained that their car doesn't start slowing down soon enough at red lights and stop signs and then jams on the brakes at the last minute ... and we want Tesla to permit us to go even faster on FSD? The Tesla computer geeks are trying to program the car...

Well, as an early adopter of FSD, I have enjoyed each new update they have sent me. It was well worth the money to me. The FSD is one of the main features that separates Flo (my car's nickname) from other vehicles. Unlike many of the experiences I am seeing reported here, my FSD gets better the...

The voice commands on my 2017 Model S were working flawlessly until the software update that adding messaging was released. After than, it does great for messaging, translating my words almost flawlessly; however, the voice commands no longer work ... at all! I can press the button and release...

Seems strange to read these posts calling Elon unreasonable. We don't know what his efforts have been to negotiated with the Alameda County health officials have been. Given the level of anger Elon is expressing, I suspect they talked and Alameda County would not listen, but without knowing the...

When I first bought my Tesla Model S in Sep 2017, I was unnerved by its weaving from side to side in the lane when on autosteer. Also, when it would go around a curve, it would make a series of little turns instead of a steering a smooth curve. It was bad enough that I would disengage it to keep...

While we are talking about the status of the windows, it might be a prudent idea to have the car automatically lower all the windows slightly if the owner has left it in the dog mode, the battery power had dropped to 20%, and the interior temperature climbs above a certain amount that could be...

I think this is an instance of your expectations exceeding the capabilities of the car. There is also a learning curve associated with you and the car getting to know each other. I used to feel panic when the car veered to the right as I passed the on ramp, but now I know what the car is doing...

Blind spot monitoring, I have found, is a matter of properly adjusting your rear view mirrors. Most people adjust them to see traffic behind rather than on the side. Here is the technique I was taught: Put your head against the left window and adjust the mirror where you can just see the side of...

I hear you. This is the safest car on the road and yet the premiums are higher than other similarly priced luxury vehicles!

I felt the same way and almost didn't order the HEPA filter, but boy was I wrong! The filter is one of the best features of the car. It totally eliminates exhaust fumes from cars, barnyard odors, smell when you go over newly laid asphalt, industrial odors when going by the paper mill. Nothing...

Another feature I would like to see is being able to activate the car's cameras remotely and see the video or a snapshot from a selected camera on your phone app. When you have it parked in a location that gives you concern, you could "check" on it visually from time to time to ensure everything...

I don't get the appeal of having the user select a "creep" mode. Why would anyone want the car to do that, necessitating the driver to keep there foot on the break or do a hard press to set the "vehicle hold" mode. Is it that some folks are having a hard time "letting go" of the quirks of ICE...

While I can turn on the A/C or heat remotely with my 2017 Model S, it would be nice to be able to turn on the seat heater and steering wheel heater remotely as well. If I can't do it remotely, it would be nice if there were two lines across the bottom of the screen with one line where you could...

Waypoints would be nice, but Elon promised "full self driving" by 12/31/17. I haven't heard any more about it; however, does anyone know when that release is planned?

Great cool design, especially with the charging cord embedded (where you don't have to keep up with it) and the USB, micro USB and Lightning Cable cover all the bases. The fact that it will only charge a phone once is actually good. Those that are designed to charge phones multiple times are...

At very slow speeds, it illuminates the direction you are turning nicely for pulling into a driveway, but not much beam shifting discernible at highway speeds on low or high beams (09/17 delivery).
