I've just been out for a drive with my friend who has a Model S and has driven Teslas for years. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to download this information from the computer, so I'm going to Tesla in Manchester UK tomorrow, to find out. BUT! He did show me how to keep the stick pressed in...

Fantastic. Will get one after my Model 3! Oh, but isn’t the sound system amazing in Teslas?!

Thank you. I’ll do that and report back.

Thank you. Love your dog! 😂❤️

Yes, I agree, the knowledge here seems to be second to none. It’s really excellent to have somewhere I can ask questions if I’m puzzled. My daughter and I did some tests yesterday in the car, moving and parked, and she said at the end ‘mum, I just LOVE this car!’ She‘s forgiven me for the...

Yes, that’s exactly what I did. That’s why it rolled forward into the wall.

I absolutely agree with all comments about the design and use of the Tesla screen. It needs designing from the ground up. My son-in-law is an inspired graphic designer with years of experience designing the dissemination of information for use on computer screens. I will fly him to California at...

Yes, I’ve disabled creep now. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, it did creep. I was so alarmed it seemed like it ‘shot.’ But it didn’t. I just hadn’t pressed park.

Thank you for that and I agree that the issue has been resolved. I will behave differently in my Tesla from now on. I would like to say one last thing though, if I may. I am a graphic designer. I had my own company all my life until I retired. We specialised in University prospectuses...

I‘m a graphic designer. I had my own company specialising in prospectuses for Universities all my life until I retired. It’s essential that information is presented clearly. There should be no opportunity for misunderstanding, and that’s only in the printed word. In a moving vehicle it’s...

Absolutely. I’m certain this tiny, tiny delay encouraged me to believe I was in park.

i never use that emergency handle. I don’t like it. Clumsy. I couldn’t possibly have put it back into drive, I’m sorry. My foot was outside the door.

Yes, I’m very grateful for all the help and completely sure we’ve nailed it. I won’t be posting any more about it, but I am very glad I’ve found this group of knowledgeable Tesla owners. I’ll keep reading! Best wishes to you all from the UK.

I notice that in that video there is a very big letter ‘P’ to indicate park. On my screen it’s very tiny.

Absolutely. I’m turning off ‘creep’. Really don’t need to simulate internal combustion engine cars anyway. Good video.

No, I absolutely will not! 😂

I promise you I had stopped. I now believe my foot was on the brake when I opened the door. Then I took my foot off the brake and stuck my leg out to exit the car. Then it moved forward. It must have still been in drive and on creep? I had never engaged Park?

I hope not. Maybe I should get myself checked out.

Yes, thank you, I realise that now. I'd still like some plain English though, like the word 'Parked' under the car visualisation after it has rotated.

You're right. I didn't put it in park. It was still in drive and creep.

Thank you so much! I will absolutely do that from now on. I still love my car.

Yes, I am new to an EV. I've just been out in my Tesla with all the comments from this forum in mind, and it's very simple. I didn't press park! So sorry about all the drama. And thank you for all your help. I stopped on the brake, it went into hold, I opened the door, took my foot off the...

It would be nice to have the option in the software to turn on an acknowledgement that you are in ‘Park’. A sound, or a blank screen with just the word ‘Parked’ until you tap it to acknowledge you’ve seen it. More confident people wouldn’t need to turn on the option? It may have helped in my...

There needs to be an option in the software to have a sound confirming that you have engaged ‘Park’ or even have the screen go blank for a moment with just the word ‘Parked’ until you tap it to confirm you’ve seen it. If this option existed I would most certainly engage it to protect against...

Please see this post by Android04. I’m now certain this is what I did. I kept my foot on the brake when I’d stopped and the car went into ‘Vehicle Hold.’ My grandson was excited to get home, so I was distracted. Believing I was parked, I started to get out. But the car was in ‘creep’ and still...

I wish the screen looked exactly like my Apple Mac with the same icons. It would be a seamless transition from my home to my car. I’m sure Apple would be willing (perhaps even happy?) to join with Tesla and make life easier for all of us? The whole screen could go blank for a moment with just...

Love this forum! Thanks guys for the excellent replies. It’s late here in the Uk, so I’m walking my dog and going to bed. Enjoy your Teslas! No, I’m sorry, but I never use the emergency release. I only ever wrap my fingers around the elegant handle and press the door open symbol with my thumb...

Yes, I understand. Wasn’t offended one bit. Short selling should be outlawed. Do the Koch brothers read this? 😱

Wow. Some reading to do. ☹️

Oh dear. I’m not going to be serupticiously Oh dear. I’m not going to be surreptitiously marketing anything on this forum. I retired from marketing years ago! Hahaa! 😂👍

Yes I agree. Absolutely love it, but do need time to become completely sure of it. Won’t be giving up!

I think it would be helpful if there was a distinctive sound to indicate the car has been successfully put into park?

Yes. Thankyou guys for all your thoughtful replies. Very kind of you and very interesting. Am taking my friend (a devoted Tesla owner) to a huge empty B&Q car park on Sunday and he’s going to open the passenger door as I hit the reverse drive pedal. I want to see if the car stopped itself or I...

Yes, I agree. My memory of these stressful events are flawed. I looked at the memory stick from the glove compartment today. Was very keen to watch what happened. Unfortunately there was only lots of videos of my journeys today. Didn’t realise it overwrites every day? Very disappointed.

You are absolutely right! I think that's exactly what I did! I have been carefully watching myself today when I stopped and have been deliberately stopping a lot in safe places. I now believe that I either didn't press park sufficiently well and failed to engage it, or I didn't actually press it...

I posted the picture of my foot to prove that it was outside the car and not on the accelerator when the car moved forward. I am not upset with Tesla. I absolutely adore my car. I always had good cars, Mercedes, BMW. But nothing compares with this amazing car. It’s the best thing I’ve ever...

Also, I don’t understand the comments about me being a first time poster? Is that relevant? Does it invalidate my comments?

I’m in Greenmount in the Uk. Lancashire. I’m going to Tesla in Manchester Uk to show them the damage and ask them what they think happened. I’m also going to watch the recording and see if I can understand what happened. I’ve attached a photo of the damage to the front. There’s no damage to the...

I parked my Model 3 on my level driveway this evening, opened my drivers door and as I put my foot out of the car to exit, it shot forward into the wall, and rammed the open drivers door into my daughter’s car which was alongside, slamming the door onto my foot which was now very painfully...
