Sounds as if something may be causing false touches to register at the very top of your screen, if all the spurious popups are related to functions that are accessed by touching the symbols at the top.
This seems to be the case. I need to sit in the car with a running video and see if I can capture it. It was happening repeatedly as I drove Jason (Tesla service tech) back to his car after picking up my car from the service center. He said he hadn't seen that before, though the Model S was so new he noted there's a lot he hasn't seen yet.
Fortunately, none of the top bar buttons actually do anything other than pop up a window, so it's harmless even if annoying.
I make no statement of opinion on these, just data points offered. Delivery was 12/31:
- charge port door doesn't open (was true at delivery and service has been alerted, can manually be opened with a smack of the palm behind the pivot point)
- passenger side rear handle won't retract as of day 3 of ownership. Told a rep at the store, she said she'd notify service for me.
2nd update: charge port door was replaced. The tech doesn't know the core issue, the part goes back to Tesla HQ for analysis. New rear handle on order.
Interesting note: apparently any replaced part (or at least the charge port) requires a software update. Not a version roll, but something in the firmware has to know there's a new part. I didn't get the details, but I'd guess each car has it's own little database or config file specifying exactly which version of each piece of hardware that's software controlled.
Picked the car up after 9pm and he still hadn't eaten dinner. Bought him a beer and sandwich at the local pub and had a really good time talking. Tesla has gone from shipping 2500 roadsters over the course of years to ~2500 Model S in less than 3 months (my guess based on Tesla's goal, not a number from the tech). Hard to time ramping up staff for that kind of explosion and it's crazy long hours right now for everyone at Tesla. I hope Tesla ramps up soon though, the human body only has so much physical, emotional and mental endurance.
For the Portland, OR folks, the tech is a one man team right now. Have patience. They're interviewing, but right now he's the guy doing the repairs, building the shop and installing all the equipment, interviewing new candidates, answering the phone, etc.
