I received this message after the recent update in my Model S. After I shut it down, and tried again it went away. I have less than 2,000 miles. I’ll definitely watch for this again.

This happened to me too in my Model S. I raised and lowered the head rest to secure a towel on the seat after mowing the yard. The next day I noticed that the seat back had fallen off. I looked at the back and didn’t see anything broken and notice that the posts seemed to hold the seat back in...

I need a Gaming in your Tesla for Dummies book. I have a Wii controller, should I try it?

Mine moved too. Will look more closely.

I am enjoying my ownership of the Rivian, but I’ve only driven it about 550 miles. Other than some blemishes upon delivery, I’ve not experienced any software or hardware problems. I don’t drive aggressively. The R1T has a great ride, I have the standard 21” wheels. The air suspension is...

I’ve been driving my R1T for a couple months now, but have only charged it at home. On the Rivian website, one can sign up for a text drive. I signed up, but was never offered the opportunity to drive one before my truck was delivered. If you’re interested in driving one, check out a...

The Rivians do have ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers. It just doesn’t show the distance in inches. The Rivian does offer rear cross traffic alerts and true blind spot mirrors along with surround view parking. I use the front camera when parking in my garage. The cameras are not as sharp as...

I don’t have many miles on my R1T, but I haven’t experienced any problems or issues. Are you close to a Rivian Service Center? Have you joined a Rivian forum? There are two popular ones. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

I replaced my Y with a Rivian R1T. It actually rides better than the MY over most surfaces. I have not used it as a truck yet, just transportation.

Who did you use for solar? I had a deposit down on a roof for about 9 months and could never get an answer to simple questions so I didn’t proceed with my solar tile roof. The whole deal was aggravating.

I would have asked for the manager if I had been refused access to the interior of the car prior to payment. You’ll have an opportunity to complain about that when you get your survey from Tesla. We’re looking forward to seeing your photos. I hope you enjoy your new Tesla in good health!

When you get your email survey you can give feedback, but I don’t know if anyone cares. I’m sorry your delivery was subpar. Ivan was my delivery guy. I was lucky this time. Orlando facility is way too crowded. Drive your new car in good health!

I recently took delivery of a new Model S and I have it set to fold the mirrors when locking. The handles are set to automatically present upon unlock. When the vehicle unlocks, my mirrors unfold and the handles pop out making a loud whirring noise. Do your cars do this too?

No. This was near EOQ. I was supposed to pay, accept delivery and return when the parts arrived. They even texted me later that day because “the manager thought I wanted it.”

The issue is that I’d be driving one with a visible unclipped bumper for an indefinite period of time. I’d feel stupid paying for a new car needing repairs. The last time I needed a new bumper, the replacement arrived damaged and I had to wait for a second one. Lastly, I live over an hour’s...
