Read the part that I quoted. He's doing exactly that.
Sorry I disagree with your comments- it was me that hit the pedal I said that and I have not disputed that.
I simply pointed out that 'People like me' could do with a better walk through and a proper handover and I think that is perfectly valid feedback. Apparently I was a trial and one of the first batch of folks not being given a handover and I did seriously express my concern to Tesla but they could not accommodate it.
The feedback and suggestions from other contributors re creep etc is what I was after and their comments have been useful- thanks folks.
 
Wow! So sorry this happened! Not the way you wanted to break-in the new car for sure! I assume no one was hurt (other than your pride and your bank account). Its very refreshing to see someone take responsibility for their mistake. We're all human and we've all done things we wish we could take back, yet so many insist it wasn't their fault simply to save some embarrassment. Kudos to you!

My delivery was a bit different than yours, I drove to Palm Springs and picked it up instead of having it dropped off. The delivery specialist had already set up the car in creep mode and low regen and explained he does this to ease people into the world of EV's rather than them being taken by surprise. I drove it for a couple miles then stopped at a parking lot and switched everything to what I assumed would be my preferred settings for the rest of my drive home. But yes, the settings were explained to me before I left. I was already familiar with the concept of all the settings having watched every youtube video imaginable prior to delivery, but was very appreciative that he took the time to set me up in a "safe" mode and explain it all.

Thanks for your concern- luckily my daughter and I were not injured but yes my pride and bank account have been lol
Thanks for the feedback- I think I am going to have to try creep initially and then try low regeneration first- just to be on the safe side.
 
Advice to anyone waiting for delivery or considering buying a Tesla: DOWNLOAD AND READ THE OWNERS' MANUAL - TWICE! The car is different than the one you are driving now. Some things may not make sense until you actually drive it, but you will at least be peripherally aware of how to work things...
Great feedback and 100% agree with you- if anyone else is due to take delivery soon please learn from my mistake! The car is very different and you need to be aware of the major differences before you drive it anywhere.
