What carrier does the car use? I thought it was ATT but my phone is ATT and worked fine all day.

Me too. I tried the 2-button reset and the power-off reset. Figure it's a carrier issue because the cellular signal was dropping out entirely in places where it should be strong and then at other times there was some data but very slow. Thanks for reporting.

Or you could put your tinfoil somewhere else. I should have known better than to raise such an issue amongst Tesla fanbois. Maybe educate yourselves on data security. Maybe not, I don't care.

A service center is a somewhat different situation. What I'm worried about is people sitting at superchargers, using the browser to conduct personal business, unaware they are connected to a foreign WiFi. But the car should not connect to any WiFi network without the owner's explicit knowledge...

Reminds me of the RX-8 "Shinka" edition, though not as satisfyingly dark.

Was using the browser while supercharging and had some strange pauses and "internet not available" messages. It's a good cell-coverage area so I wasn't sure what the problem was. Phone was fine. Then I discovered the car was connected to WiFi. This was a surprise since I had only ever set it...

We have one rattle left; actually a "buzz", and it's from the black plastic shroud over the front-facing camera behind the rearview mirror. Goes away temporarily if I press on the housing. Only happens at certain times in the afternoon (sun-heating playing a role i guess). Taking a car in for...

Same here. Can't stand money-sucking subscriptions just to flip a bit enabling the hardware that's already there. My damned Nissan LEAF came with Homelink. Tesla can pound sand. $17 remote from ACE Hardware works just fine. I spent many a year having to get out of vehicles to manually open...

Now that does sound useful. Might consider that when my current pump packs it in.

A digital display really isn't adding value. I prefer this analog unit Deluxe Tire Gauge (0 to 60 PSI)

Also the strand-count of the conductor cables.

What seems like white primer is sometimes just an artifact. We had a small scratch on the door panel that practically disappeared by cleaning and polishing with Nu-Finish. But, no paint is impervious. Careful touch-up where necessary is a decent remedy. Maybe apply film to the area most...

Sidewall flexes too much for a patch or plug to be reliable.

Tesla provides the feature; it's up to you to decide when and how it should be used or when it's worth the cost in energy and battery cycles. 5% charge expenditure per day doesn't amount to a lot of battery cycles in and of itself (less than 20 per year if you leave it on 24x7). So I'd rate...
