Finally took delivery today. Couple issues

Thanks everyone, so I found that my stock for the shifter is defective for sure because it just stays down.

As far as AP I really like, I found that you can just hold the bottom of the wheel too and do not have to have your hands both on the wheel. I did get self park to work and learned how since you have to put it in Reverse when you see the P. It is a fun learning process.

On a more interesting note car now has 115 miles and 140 remaining on battery, I drove it pretty hard last night I was surprised that my friends bmw 430i was way faster then this. I was def quick but wonder if the vibrating steering caused any slow down. Should I just turn that off? I suppose I am better off with long range cause it is hard to drive this thing nice all the time.

My thoughts exactly about the LR battery. I'm not a hyper miler in these cars! Too fun to drive!!

But I did watch the video on how to use the 9V battery to open the frunk thru the tow hook port

What ?? You need power to open the hood? that means if I have a dead battery then I simply cannot open the hood and jump start?

This all things electric is getting downright silly

That is correct but it is very easy to open it. You can even use a 9v battery. So it’s just one small extra step should you need to jump the 12v battery.

So lets say my 12V battery dies on a cold day in some place. And I get a good Samaritan volunteer to jump start me. Then what happens?

Am I supposed to have a 9V battery kit stored in my glove compartment?. Oh wait! Crap! even the glove compartment cannot be opened.

This is insane.. One small extra step from Tesla, one giant nuisance for Teslakind.

Pretty sure you could use jumper cables connected from another car to pop the frunk, then jump it? Guessing here. Might be wrong.

Exactly!

If you keep a backup compact 12V jump start battery in the frunk, you could then access it with a commonly found tiny 9V battery that could be purchased anywhere.
