It does show cars behind you if you zoom out...

I’ve been using hold mode for a few days now and I like it so far. I never liked roll mode because it requires foot dance when parking, especially on the incline, but hold mode works well. Creep is still easier for parking and backing up, but hold is OK too. You have to be very careful coming...

It's probably not it, but check that background execution is allowed for Tesla app. It's allowed by default, but I know some people like to turn it off for all apps. Also, location permission should be set to Always. Even then, I have this issue sometimes with my iPhone X. The solution is just...

Backing into a spot is not always an option. For instance, when shopping at Costco (or any other place where you have a lot of stuff to load, so frunk is not going to help). Putting a baby/toddler into a car seat is also easier when parked normally. Also, it won’t help much when you end up...

The rear view camera angle is not wide enough. By the time you can see a moving car in it, it’s already too close.

It’s not even that wide angle, compared to other modern cars that provide true 180 view. Here is the view from the same spot from my Model 3 and Mazda CX-9. Please note, that the road curves around the house, otherwise you would be able to see even further with Mazda. Now, the image quality is...

I think it's a glitch in creep functionality. I've noticed a few times that sometimes creep doesn't activate right away after you switch from Park to Drive or Reverse. If you are on an incline, it may even start rolling in that direction just like if creep is not on. After you apply and release...

This setting is tied to the driver profile. She probably has it off in her profile.

Yep. I thought about it and decided that it’s just too expensive for the value it brings today. Also, given Tesla’s history with pricing, I won’t be surprised if FSD goes on sale later this year (say, end of quarter). Those who don’t want to buy it for 6K are even less likely to buy it for 7K...

Plus it’s really inconvenient when shopping as you would have limited access to the trunk.

Yep, plus you will likely get less than rated range in real life driving situations. For instance, my recent round trip to Redondo Beach (178 miles total) left me with 23% charge (I started with 85%). So, I consumed 62% of battery, or 192 miles of range, which is 7% more than rated consumption...

You can add FSD later, but can't add range...

Sorry - it's just that while I love pretty much everything in my Tesla, parking it is my least favorite part, compared to other vehicles that I had recently :) On topic (small lesser known things): - Automatic rear climate control is brilliant. It is smart enough to figure out when my toddler...

Actually, the backup camera and the park assist features in general are lacking compared to other 2019 cars. The only good thing about the backup camera in Model 3 is size and quality of the image. The field of view is rather narrow, I think my 2008 car had wider angle lens, and our family car...

I picked up mine in early June at the same delivery center, and experience was OK. It was definitely fast, and I skipped the orientation as I knew everything I needed to know about the car already. I had one of the first appointments that day, but it got super busy when I was leaving and there...
