    Backing into charging stall with a bike rack

    How many bikes are you carrying? I have a Yakima tray rack and use a extension carrying two bikes so I am sticking way out there. I still can back into 99% of SC and that's going cross country 4 times. Sometimes the sign post placement is challenging but I can back in with help of my SO.

    Free supercharging vs Full self driving (POLL)

    More important for me was range increase and speed of Supercharging for upgrading to a refreshed X. Thats coming from a 2016 Model X. I do miss free charging but would do it again.

    Key card failed! A lesson to be learned.

Very safe as losing would be difficult but what a pain to strip everything off . I have considered...

    Just better for m e to use have two keycards hidden or one key card and a FOB. At least write down Teslas number with a silver sharpie on the key card.

    The phone is locked in the trunk . I sometimes put it in airplane mode and not turn it off. Either way if you left the phone running someone could unlock the car by just pulling on the door handles.

    Cruise control unavailable

    This happened to me on a road trip last month. When I spoke to support they had me run through several reboots and they could not solve it remotely.

    Sold my 2016 X to Car Max in NOV 2021 with 100K miles for 58K and got a 2022 XLR in Aug 2022 after several push backs. Miss the free Supercharging but the extended range and quietness was worth it .
