Hi everyone!
I've been lurking around here for several years, but I'm thrilled to say that I've finally made the leap and bought a Model S almost 3 weeks ago! So far, the car has been absolutely amazing; I actually want to drive just for the sake of driving. My only gripe is that entering and exiting aren't easy for me; but that has more to do with my health issues and size (I'm 6'5") than it does the car.
I have a few questions...I think that I know the answers, but want to be sure:
About the key fob
I have set up the car to auto-present only the driver's door handle, and that prevents the fob from opening all the doors with a double-click of the "roof". Is that normal? And are there any workarounds other than getting in the car to unlock the the other doors?
Re: EAP and Nav on AP
There's an interchange that I use for my daily commute that Felicity really doesn't like. If I approach the interchange while in Nav mode, I get a warning that navigation will end in "XXX feet". When the warning distance has elapsed, nav shuts off and EAP takes over while the car DRASTICALLY slows below the actual speed limit. Nav is unavailable for about 15 miles until it resumes at another interchange (that I don't take). Otherwise, Nav on AP has worked perfectly. And if I'm on EAP when I get to that interchange, the car still slows to below the speed limit. What's going on?
'Flickering' proximity indication
I'm seeing a frequent (many times a minute) left rear corner proximity indication that lasts only fractions of a second, even when there is nothing (no guard rail, no curb, no other vehicles...nothing). This only happens with the left rear detectors. I thought that some of the ultrasonics might be dirty, but they weren't. This has no effect on how the car behaves, because it only causes false positive indications, not false negatives. Does this warrant a possible service call?
Well...that's it for my first post as a member of the club.
Cheers,
Kevin
