I need that graph of battery usage like a hole in the head. And the album/station art is just a big, bright eyesore. I would love a clock and a speedometer (my wheel in favorite position hides this essential info). I have seen some posts here that intimate that the ability to edit/rearrange the...

Can anyone explain the utility of moving the clock and gear position readout from the left side to the right side of the driver's screen? Seems so gratuitous, just one more thing to get used to. (eyeballs never have got used to the various ways Tesla protects me from dangerous lane changes...

"Wiping works at low speeds." Yeah, like under five miles an hour so your passenger can jump out and run around back of the car and wipe. WTF kind of solution is "wipe" when it's raining and you're on the freeway? Tesla should not install a rear-facing camera that becomes part of the driving...

My 2013 Volt, likewise. Always got the contact right, always made the right call, never had an audio problem. I do love my Model S but it's pretty depressing that its phone/audio system ("Call Danny Houghton" becomes "call Denver Platypus") is so bad.

Same issue as of a couple of days ago. But only radio so far, Bluetooth from my phone comes out great, which means it isn't the speakers. There was an update last night which didn't fix it, so if it's something the engineers are aware of, they need to get busy. My main concern is that, if this...

Not sure if this comes under the heading "technical/mechanical," but all of a sudden my radio stations are crackling, like a bad solder at the antenna of a 50's heap. Bluetooth comes out great, so it's not the speakers. Anyone?

Right side steering wheel controls half dead. After the last update (and coincidentally after a visit to the Service Center to get the frunk latch adjusted), the scroll wheel and talk button are DOA. The screen button chooses "Fan Speed" but the wheel doesn't work, so not only can the choices...

According to Tesla, it's the placement of the secondary latch that is the problem, i.e. that it has been installed too far back to engage. Not sure how they address this -- repositioning same latch with new holes, or installing a new latch with a longer tongue?

When our 2019 Model S is put into park in our home garage, it raises all the way up and the small distance makes it much easier for my old bones to exit the car. What I would like is if every time the car is put into park, anywhere, it rises up so my old bones can get out with similar ease. Is...

Does anyone of quality make floor mats to go with white or cream interior? I can't find anything...

Yeah, the brakes cost me my car. Boo-hoo...

Not really. At normal driving speed, those are pretty gentle curves. And what I do, and was taught to do, is feed the wheel around keeping hands more or less 3-9 so that I have max travel available in both directions should anything go wrong.

That's good to know, but lacking in detail. I get that you're a hot driver, but how do you make a tight turn at speed without crossing your arms over?

I never really had to stand on the brakes with our 2016 90D, until late last May. Then, a guy pulled over and stopped without warning on a narrow road -- we were all going fast and then suddenly he wasn't. I stood hard on the brakes and sailed right into him, airbags out, insurance totaled the...

Obviously, I'm opening myself to some juvenile comments, but I still have to ask -- how is the yoke a safe wheel? Where I live, I drive mountain roads with tight-but-fast corners. I've always driven corners with hands at quarter-to-three, never crossing my wrists over under any circumstances...
