    Interior pleather cleaning (black with carbon)

    I saw a recommendation for Castile soap. I grabbed Dr Bronners off Amazon and have been pretty happy with it.

    How to repair rear cup holders?

    My nieces and nephew are wonderful, but they do like to swing their legs when riding in the back seat. (The less said about their excitement around the whoopee cushion feature, the better 🙂) Anyway, they kicked the rear console cupholder enough times that the spring doesn’t work so great...

    Anyone upgraded the power delivery of console USB ports?

    I’ve got a 2018 Model S 75D. My wife is very unhappy with the rate at which her phone charges when she uses the console USB ports (all USB A) to the point where she brings an external battery pack to use instead of the car. This is absurd. Does anyone know of an upgrade to get console USB...

    What sort of blind spot detection should I expect?

    I flip my turn signal on. There's a car in the adjacent lane which I'm about to merge into. The car doesn't seem to warn me. I know there's sensors and cameras over there... should I expect a warning?

    How do I navigate to a contact?

    "navigate to X” for a person in my phone book (and I know there’s an address attached) doesn't seem to work. Is there a magic word to navigate to an address attached to a contact in my phone book?

    Anyone else think voice commands are well short of best-in-class?

    Every major player in the industry – Amazon, Apple, Google, and I think Microsoft – has a voice assistant which requires no button to start or stop interacting with the assistant. It seems clunky to have to press a button to start speaking, and again to stop speaking. And natural language...

    Seriously, what's the deal with text message integration?

    For as much as Tesla's brand promise is about tech, some things just seem to be missing. Why won't the car display or read me my texts? Why can't I respond by voice?

    Can MS give a dialog box when parking the car to open trunk & frunk?

    Seems like a 5-minute fix... when I parked my loaner Model X, I got a dialog box offering to open any of the doors or trunks. Sadly, my Model S doesn't open the driver's door to greet me, but I really did like the UI of giving me a dialog box to open the automatically openable doors (in this...

    Trim installed poorly on driver's door and B-pillar - anyone else seen this?

    I close my door, the interior trim panel pops off, leaving about a 3/16 inch gap between where it is and where it's supposed to be. I can pop it back into place, but at the price, that's sorta not the point. And, of course, having found one flaw, I get hyper-sensitive about others; I think the...

    Trunk fails to close sporadically - three beeps

    About one in ten times I attempt to close the rear trunk/hatch (I think always with the button on the bottom side of the hatch itself), I get three beeps instead of one, and the trunk doesn't close. Always seems to work the second time. Anyone know what this is? No obvious connection to a...

    Am I going to miss a center console?

    My Model S should arrive in a few more weeks, and I've had plenty of time to freak out about "wow, I'm spending a bunch of money on a car!" Today's freak-out: Why doesn't the center console open? I never did figure out why the armrests sliding to reveal cupholders precludes a center console...
