Thank you but that older information (2020 perhaps?) still doesn't answer my question of a working radius for the Summon Mode...can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you.

The Motor Trend test guy said in a recent Head to Head. Regarding the X, "Tesla decided to copy the ugliest BMW of all time, the 5 Series Grand Tourer." Couldn't have said it better myself ha

Not gonna lie i think the ugliest Bmw definitely goes the the new X6m especially the rear.

So you got your car already? Smart Summon Radius is around 150 - 200ft.

I’ve been blank since 6/17. This is after nearly daily EDD changes. I’d rather have an EDD a month or two from now than nothing.

Nope

Gotcha on the approx radius of Summon Mode and no, unfortunately I didn't get my car yet...account still blank. But I think if I read EVERYTHING in the manual and learn as much as I can from previous/current Tesla MS owners NOW, I'll be fully ready to take delivery knowing everything about my new MS Plaid, lol!

Hoping a VIN just shows up in the next week or so but not holding my breath. Likely a VIN for me at end of July or beginning of Aug for an Aug delivery...and that's with my order being on some sort of (ahem fake, meaningless?) "priority build/delivery" list. Um, yeah, I feel so much better knowing I'm on this priority list.

You can get to Neutral from the control screen--swipe from the left edge of the display to bring up the control menu, then the button for Neutral is kinda in the middle

This may be the first car that I'm considering reading the manual.

Any thoughts on how to get the gear selectors below the charge pad to enable? I got it to come on a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be a consistent method or I just don't remember the specifics.

Strange. Seen videos on YouTube that showed you "wake up" the gear selector simply by pushing one of them. Then you push whichever one you want -- D, N, R, & P.

So, I got a VIN last week. Been on vacation (much needed time off). Went and applied for financing with Tesla. Wells Fargo came back but wants 60-65% down, other institutions denied. I asked why as I have 750 credit score, high income, no debt. They said it was because I have 2 current car leases on my credit. I explained that my wife and I need cars, so yes we have 2 cars, lol. But my car is to be turned in now that I got a vin, and my wife’s lease is up in September. Called Tesla, they were just as confused. Sent internal email to Tesla financing explaining the leased cars, they said even if the cars got turned in Wells said they won’t lend me more, other banks I guess still denied. I think someone just dropped the ball somewhere.

Little lost for words here and confused. Has anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions for lending? HELP!

Per the manual, you just "press a button" on the console. I am assuming this is one of the gear "buttons". That would wake the buttons up and from there you can select the desired gear.

In addition to manually shifting gears on the touchscreen, you can select a gear by pressing a button located on the center console. In most situations, these buttons are not available until you press one of the gear buttons to activate it. When active, the LEDs associated with each gear illuminate and when you select a gear, the associated LED illuminates amber.

When you say "other banks" is that still attempting to use Tesla as the intermediary? If so, have you tried going to a bank directly? If you have a checking and savings account somewhere, have you tried going to that bank and getting an auto loan? Or a local credit union?

If you are using Tesla as the intermediary, it might be time to cut them out and go your own route. Any bank should be able to wire or overnight a check to them.

60% down seems insane. Are they expecting the car to depreciate 50% if they have to repossess?

This makes me nervous, as I have not purchased a new car in 11 years and keep thinking they will decline my loan when it comes time to apply. The numbers say I am well within the bounds of what I should be approved for, but then I hear stories like this and wonder what shenanigans they will throw at me.

Still at July. Wonder if I post when I check, if that will help me check less, haha. There’s literally no point in me checking the Tesla website, but I do it frequently anyway

My name is HumanInput and it has been 90 minutes since my last refresh. Happy to be here and thank you all for the support.

 

[Trunk Gap]

Did you get the VIN's today? Looks promising!

I’ve had the VINs for 2weeks. Red one disappeared for a few days then the same VIN came back and has stuck.

Yes, Tesla as intermediary. I think it went to chase, us bank, td bank, etc.

Not sure my bank does 80k+ auto loans as it is just a local bank. Tried applying to local credit union, they ran my credit then sent an email that my loan request exceeds the max they lend, but can offer me 50k lol. Wtf.

I don’t know, I’m totally confused….need some help from TMC for suggestions
