These are all creative ideas but It seems that we shouldn't have to do any jury rigging in such a fine car when these features can be added in the Premium Package or as other options - as in the S, e.g. where the glass roof is a necessary option for the XM antenna.

Why no satellite radio? Can this be added in software? I use it quite a bit in the S and would miss it in the 3. I wish they would have kept the AM radio band too since Tunein doesn’t carry some of the stations that I want. A bit of bad reception and low quality are small sacrifices to pay for...

By the time Porsche and other manufacturer's cars proliferate to EV's I would think that superchargers would follow suit, seeing that they already have gazillions of dealerships all over the US. Gas station will have to convert to 'EV', or the more generic 'Filling', stations too. And...

One shouldn't forget the vast infrastructure that the ICE industry already has in place. As the EV revolution evolves, all the dealerships, gas stations, repair shops, auto parts stores, etc. will retool to adapt. Installing the necessary hardware to accommodate EV's can be greatly facilitated...

How about a real Lane Departure Warning. The very subtle steering wheel vibration is barely noticeable to me. There should be a real effect - stronger vibration, perhaps with a tunable intensity or an audible - that can alert me if I happen e.g., to be dozing off, and drifting across the lane...

I would like to have more than three flashes when the lane change lever is touched. A selectable number of flashes would be great but if fixed, 7 flashes (like I have on my Lexus) would be better than the present 3. Also, I don't know if there is a bug or my fault, but the headrest position on...

I noticed this too. Multiple car recognition appeared only recently (weeks after 17.17.17 the update). Hopefully this will appear again as the car self teaches its stuff.

XM works fine on my 2 weeks old MS with the 8.1 update. I see 21 Categories each of which expands to several stations.

OK. I don't have the whole plethora of the XM stations listed on the screen at once. Instead I see 21 categories (or folders) - pop, entertainment, 5 sport folders, religious, comedy, etc., etc. Each of the categories expands to the stations appropriate to its category. I thought this was the...

Funny, I got my XM radio to work fairly easily. I called XM to transfer one of my accounts to the Tesla and gave the XM agent the Radio ID. He adjusted whatever he had to and remotely refreshed the radio. I also got a text message with a link to refresh the radio. It seems to work ok. I got my...

I was told that the car had to be driven 100 miles before cruise control would take effect. It had 12 miles at delivery and 135 miles on the odometer now and no cruise control the last time I checked. And no TACC until software is updated for the newer hardware. I'm slowly but surely getting...

Well the Expecting Phase is finally over. I was handed the Key Fobs yesterday in exchange for zillions of signatures on documents the contents of which I had no idea. :) Slightly used car - 12 miles on the odometer. Everything seems to check out at the delivery center but I will still have...

Yes! Tesla cures gas problems. Now you can eat more of those beans. :)

LED_FT: Why r u up so early? Too excited to sleep perhaps?? :) :)

My Tesla still says: "Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory." Glad it's way out of date now.
