Daylight Savings Time - How to change the clock.

I posted in the other thread that my MS's clock sprang ahead early yesterday and today it matched up since the rest of the region caught up :) I did not see the issue where it fell back as others have reported. There is no way for us to set the clock, I think it works like our iPhones and iPads where it updates on its own.

Subject: Radio controlled clocks misinterpret daylight saving time warning bit

Some radio synchronised clocks in USA unexpectedly switched to Daylight
Saving Time (DST) yesterday hours ahead of schedule. According to the Time
and Frequency Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), which operates radio station WWVB in Boulder, Colorado, the last two
significant bits in the time code give a warning that DST changes tomorrow
and the current state of DST (standard time or daylight saving time). Some
clocks changed to DST when the warning bit appeared.

Some older radio-controlled clocks may adjust for Daylight Saving Time early

Thanks for that. I just assumed it had switched based on GMT. ie the clock is running on GMT internal and then displaying an offset for the cabin, when the internal clock (set to GMT) hit 2:00am (or whenever the jump happens) then it switch the offset so the display time changed.
 
My european S still has the clock on PST after one week of ownership.
Anyone know how to fix that? Any other europeans have this?

Update: fixed by tesla by remote logon. ( took a physical visit to the tilburg center though to get their attention, but assume that's because they have been crazy busy lately, so i don't blame them.)
