Open the door. Power off. Exit the car. Close the door. The car will stay powered off and instantly go to sleep.

The worst advice I could ever offer is to set Require Lane Change Confirmation to Off. Your car will surely automatically lane change into oncoming traffic or into a concrete barrier whenever construction exists. Or, it'll miss the road debris in the passing lane or the car speeding up to pass...

I already stated that four clicks will work - but that only works if someone is getting in the car with you. But if you're sitting in the car waiting to pick someone up, you'll need to dig out your key fob again and do the six click dance if you want to let them in. In a real world scenario...

I agree with everyone about double clicking the Park button to unlock all the doors. That works. However, it also locks the car again and presents the Unlock to Start message thereby requiring two more clicks on the fob. End result is still 6 clicks to unlock the passenger door. Clicking the...

I've been using Passive Entry happily until I read the articles about hackers intercepting the broadcast signals and stealing cars. So, I thought I'd turn it off and experience the difference. My car has Auto Unlock Driver Door Only On and Auto Present Handles On which works fine for me as I...

No need to be such a a**, Electroman. I was simply sharing my experience with other owners so that they can be aware when in the same situation. As it turns out, this problem happens at every railroad crossing that is identified by striped, angular while lines painted in front of the tracks...

Yes, a highway is not the same as an expressway. Most highways have railroad crossings, at least in Illinois. I drove the same route today and Jhelin might be correct. As I approached the tracks, my car followed the painted diagonal lines in front of the tracks into oncoming traffic. Since I...

I have the Google mesh router system with three units. The app still doesn't work - never has. Always says "Connecting ..." no matter where I'm at. Guess I'll just stick with the keyfob.

Auto Pilot Does Not Like Railroad Crossings Submitted by rweggert on October 5, 2018 While driving north on a quiet 4 lane country road with Auto Pilot and Auto Steer set at 45mph, I approached a railroad crossing and was curious how the car would respond. The crossing was a double track, fully...

Did they provide you with all your paperwork, especially the Bill of Sale and Odometer Disclosure? I also need the Certificate of Origin. I specifically asked the delivery agent for copies of everything I signed but she outright refused claiming they are property of Tesla. When I disputed her...

I took my delivery two weeks ago and was mostly satisfied with the conditions. The problem areas were minor (chipped windshield and defective headlamp) but they ordered replacement parts to be installed soon. There were some minor scratches and blemishes but I think these were acceptable...

UPDATE: I took delivery of my demo car last week and was mostly satisfied. Although the car had very minor nicks and blemishes, which I sort of expected with 5,000 miles on it, I was very pleased with the delivery. I noted the car was driven an additional 400 miles AFTER I purchased the demo car...

I got 1.74% last week from Tesla Finance. Approved. Have you checked with them?

You will qualify for the tax credit because an inventory car has not been registered yet. You are technically the first owner. As long as you complete the sale before the end of the year, you will receive the $7,500 tax credit - for any loaner/demo/inventory car. The unwritten formula is...

I'm glad you had a good experience - it makes me feel much better that mine will be a better experience too. My situation might be a little different in that I live 2,000 miles away from where I will take delivery of the car. (The car is in Colorado, I live in Chicago and the sale is happening...
