The Model 3 is shipping with no fob. They are providing an RFID card instead. Most people will just use their phone, which when paired with the app, unlocks the vehicle as you approach. Does anyone know if this will be possible with existing S and X models? I obviously can unlock the car using...

Hal.

That is amazing. I love this car. Just keeps getting better. Its been over a year and I still get excited to drive it.

Please ignore the curb rash.

That sheen looks a bit like a mafia guy's suit.

I did opti-coat on my black Model S and it came out beautifully. I don't have any more swirl marks. I'm also much more careful when washing the car. I have a bunch of microfiber towels and they only enter the bucket once to get wet. After they are on the car they go into a pile for the washing...

That is a gorgeous set up. Looks like a Tesla museum in there. Is your garage door solid wood?

For me it depends upon the color of the car. With the white and pearl I think it looks great. I had the same dilema with my black Model S and I elected not to install it. I think it would look good on your car. If you don't like it, I think you will only need dental floss to remove it.

I think most of the loaners eventually get sold. I suppose they could disclose this information to prospective buyers, but I don't think Tesla is racing to find a new way to depreciate the value of cars they haven't sold yet. Don't hold your breath for this solution.

After the most recent software update, my mobile connector stopped working. I took it to Tesla in Dania Beach, FL and they said the connector was fine and they have had issues with the UMC since the update. I returned home and it was working again, but I am only charging at 30amps when I had...

I'm 40 years old, 6'4" and about 185 lbs and I don't have any difficulty getting into or out of the car. Perhaps raising the suspension when you park may help? The car is low to the ground, but I don't notice much of a difference between the Model S and the BMW 335i I used to drive. Perhaps the...

I noticed that Slacker doesn't seem to have as many skips and pauses as before. After that last update it was an absolute mess. Seems better now.

Is Siri called Suri in Canada?

I had opti-coat done recently on my black Model S. Looked better than factory when I got it back. My detailer, based out of Miami, sent me a YouTube link. I have Tesla factory paint armor and then had the whole hood wrapped by Tesla Dania Beach right after delivery in January 2013. Advanced...

Yes you can. If the fob is dead, the RF still works and allows you to unlock and drive the car.
