Yes. I never understood the logic behind that. Very difficult to get one’s bearings. Interestingly, if you select the individual repeater camera view then it’ll show up in the correct orientation.

I for one am happy they came out with this feature. Volkswagen has taken it one step further in Europe for unconscious drivers with the system always ready to take over steering and braking, but that won’t cross the pond to the US due to automation regulations (or should I say lack of consensus...

Driving to work this morning on I465-S after a string of severe thunderstorms passed through the area 15-20 minutes prior, my display started to flicker and then went black. I happened to be passing an electrical substation at that time, but did not see any obvious arcing/sparks in that...

6 months too late but happy to have it as a feature. I totaled my model S back in October due to an epileptic seizure when the car veered off the highway lane I was on and smashed into the median (AP was NOT engaged at the time - see my separate full posting on this forum if interested in the...

I had traded in a 5-series for my first Tesla back in 2016 and was shocked at how backwards the autowipers were. I stopped using it but it didn’t matter too much as I had a wiper stalk and could still get by with manual control pretty well. Then I got a Model 3 and I find I don’t have that stalk...

Happened to my wife last week. I told her to restart the car’s computer (hold both buttons down) and it fixed the issue and hasn’t recurred since. I assumed it was a bug in one of the updates. I guess as long as you view this as driving a computer (Windows ha ha) instead of a standard car...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I have a question for all of you now. In this race to push these features out to consumers, don’t you think Tesla is most likely to do so given how easily they send out OTA updates? I would’ve purchased a BMW, Merc, or Cadillac instead of my model 3 if I felt...

Yes I probably would have activated that much sooner in retrospect, but the nav on autopilot wasn’t a feature on my car as I didn’t have all the extra cameras (don’t think it was an option when I got the S years ago, or didn’t think it would have been cost effective - can’t remember). When I’m...

Believe it or not before I ordered my model 3 in late December to replace the model S, I did actually configure a Cadillac and a Mercedes and almost went to test drive them. However I kept coming back to the point that all of these cars have to have the automatic driving feature activated before...

Its hard to know what the car did or didn’t do. All I have is the eyewitness report from the guy behind me who saw the car head toward the right, hit a construction barrel then bounce to the left and cross all the traffic lanes until it hit the median destroying the 2 left tires which caused it...

While none of us enjoy having issues come up with our cars, I admit I always enjoyed my service experiences with my model S as they would come to my house to do the repairs. Their crew are top notch and very friendly and the repairs were fortunately minor ones. Until someone rear ended me during...

I totaled my Model S last October due to a seizure (see my separate post) and have been put on a driving restriction until this May. However I bought a new LR model 3 in late December to capture the fed tax benefit. What adds insult to injury for me is that I haven’t even been able to drive this...

I had an unfortunate circumstance happen to me a few months ago in my '16 Model S. While driving to work early one morning on an access road that was merging on the interstate, I had an epileptic seizure (first one in my life) without warning that rendered me unconscious. At that point...
