Less well known Tesla features / information

Tried but it's always been that way.
This is when the car is locked and install to the passenger side door. Works fine with the drivers side door but think it's designed that way on purpose no read somewhere.
Just wondering if there's any trick I'm missing

Every morning I open the passenger side door first to dump my bag before going round to the drivers door. Sometimes I have to pull the handle twice but it does work from my iphones bluetooth.

My passenger door won't open on Bluetooth like the drivers door does. Is there any way to open the passenger door without having to open the app and unlock the car or go round to the drivers door and open that first?

Pretty sure there is only an NFC reader on drivers side. NFC and card work same way and are separate to Bluetooth proximity opening

Thanks but I only use Bluetooth as it saves me having to get my card out

very detailed tip regarding mirror adjust - if you want to switch from let>right>left mirror for fine adjustment, you don't need to tap the blue boxes on the screen, just press the left thumb-wheel in once and it toggles between mirror sides.

Should still work. I'm able to walk up to any door or the boot and open.

You might find that you need to get your phone out of your pocket for it to work, depending on the phone.

There were lots of reports of Pixel phones allowing the car to be unlocked from a distance, but iPhones tend to need you fairly close / phone out, I often have issues when it's in my back pocket.

Try holding handle out for a second longer.

discovered today that there are a number of screens (but not all) that will close if you very briefly swipe down on them.

For example, if you open the energy screen, you can get it to disappear by giving it a brief swipe down. I couldn't get it to close by saying "Close energy" but discovered that saying "Open energy" when you have it open will close it too!

In any case, the swipe down is a lot easier than reaching for an X.

You can also just swipe up with nothing on the screen and it will bring up what you were last using.

In my case I always have the music card displayed at its minimum level so to clear the screen I just tap the musical octave symbol second RH bottom of the screen which brings the display back to nav-music from energy or any other overlay.
