One positive outcome from using a checklist is it helps you notice features that might not have stood out otherwise (like the embedded light in the frunk). I haven't seen lists that involve looking at soldering rubbers. That does seem excessive. Using a checklist didn't save me from receiving...

@Power Hungry is in Queensland. If heading north and using the QESH chargers, they have AC backups next to the DC fast charger. You will almost always use the CCS plug built into the DC charger. However, if DC is broken or not available, then you can use a Type 2/Mennekes/BYO cable to draw...

I wasn't bothered by anything in 14.8 and haven't noticed any meaningful changes in 14.9

Are you aware that you can adjust the lumbar support using the round seat control? It should be able to retract quite well.

I installed 2024.14.8 yesterday and my indicators haven't changed. I just checked the function you described above and it is working. Perhaps you need a two-button reboot?

This is increasingly off topic, but actually airflow is very important for comfort. Ask an architect and they'll probably talk your ear off. You are correct that removing humidity is a big part of the benefit of AC in the tropics. But we also know that having air blowing over the occupants...

It will be interesting to see if "maintain comfort level better" means maintaining more airflow over the occupants.

My complaint is the insufficient fan speed, even on the highest Auto setting. I end up using more energy to lower the car temperature, or else I have to take it off Auto (which is meant to be intelligent and energy efficient) and manually control the fan speed. I just wish Auto had a "Tropical"...

Usually.

I live in North Queensland and have not added tinting or a roof shield. When the car has been left in the sun, the roof gets hot like any other car. The only reason I am ever bothered is that the AC fan speed is never fast enough for a tropical climate without taking it off Auto.

I have only used it around town, but find it a nicer experience, even just by reducing glare reflecting off signs. I first saw it in action when an oncoming model 3 dipped it's right-hand headlight to avoid blinding me. It was nice and quick. Overall, this looks like one of the better features...

That is how I do it. The car has a perpetual error saying that the connection is slow, but everything actually works just fine.

Yeah, you do have to question paying 25% more for the LR. That said, be aware that the RWD highway range is about 300km, much less than I had expected from Tesla's figures (and having experience of a Kona which delivers much closer to its claimed figures). People on this forum were saying...

Do you mean AWD or RWD? LR and Performance are All-Wheel Drive, while the cheapest model is Rear-Wheel Drive.

It picks up things that are further away than UsS can see. USS also sometimes performs poorly against curved surfaces I am still finding the Vision view hard to adjust to. Interestingly, I just finished towing a trailer (in trailer mode) and Vision did not show the trailer, but did show the arm...
