Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

I don't mean to single you out, but I've come across a few similar comments. It's concerning to me that people use the beta Autopilot feature without knowing how to properly control it. Someone mentioned that they were pressing the park button to disable Autopilot and they were surprised that it started activating the parking brake. I highly recommend reading and understanding Autopilot's controls and limitations before letting the vehicle propel itself down the road... if not, you could just find yourself running into the back of a fire truck.
Hopkins folks know how to reboot the car - seems like quite a bunch of new folks here. You hold both scroll buttons down forward an extended time and the car's computer system will reboot. You can actually keep on driving if you like. Some folks say electronics need a reboots every some often
Following up, this only reboots the infotainment and user interface system. The Autopilot and driving computers continue to operate, which is why you can continue driving, even in Autopilot (albeit with no information for a short period of time).
I've been frustrated by the mirror tilting option, because I am used being able to tilt my passenger mirror while leaving the driver mirror in it's normal state while reversing. I was excited when I read your post, but I tried it and doesn't seem to work.
I placed the car in reverse, which lowered both mirrors to tilt position. Then I scrolled the left mirror to it's normal position, then pressed save. The I shifted into park. Both mirrors went back to normal position. But the next time I placed the car in reverse they both tilted down. So then I thought maybe I have to turn off auto tilt to get your suggestion to work. But if I turn off auto tilt, and then adjust the mirrors where I want them in reverse they just stay that way all the time.
Any further suggestions?

I'm not sure if our definition of light force is different or it's because I have sport steering turned on, but I have to move the wheel enough to actually change the car direction which is not what I consider light force. But with the nipple buttons, it's a non issue for me now.
Hmm, I figure mine requires maybe a pound or less of force. Lightly holding my hand does the job most of the time.
Ditto with mine. While I was explaining to someone how to 'acknowledge' that I'm not dead or asleep, I realized how overkill that much force is. My steering is set to heavy - wonder if that impacts it?
The speed change is good to know... but I'll just keep increasing the speed 1mph until the end of autopilot (which is 90mph). LOL Wonder if it still serves as the acknowledgement if you're already cruising at 90.
ROTATIONAL force is the key here - at first I kept clinching the wheel with my fists to squeeze it
I saw that easter egg online and couldn't get it to work. Is it exactly 10 times, or can you do it more? I think when I tried it, I felt like I might have missed a press, so I pressed extra times.
I use the Standard setting for steering and just the slightest jiggle is enough to get rid of the warning. I've also started to just hold onto the wheel at the bottom with a very slight resistance, which seems to be enough to never see any warnings. If you are having to change the direction of the car to get rid of the warnings then I would suggest having the service center take a look at it.
I'll change to Sport mode on my way home from work tonight and see if that makes a difference.

It does, actually. I was driving in a 40mph zone so the limit was 45 which is where I had it set. When I flicked up on the right wheel, it acknowledged the touch. Works great- I assume the same would happen at 90
You can also use volume increase/decrease instead of cruise as another posted pointed out.

My Model 3 is at Tesla for due bill so I can't try out on my car but in our Model S when the driver leaves the car, the passenger just has to touch the MCU screen and music and fan/AC will come back on.

I have same request.
I don't get why the driver-side mirror tilts because unless you are parallel parking on the driver-side on a one-way street, it's fairly pointless. No other car I have owned with auto-tilt in reverse functionality ever adjusted the driver-side in addition to the passenger-side mirror. It was always just the passenger-side since I assume parallel parking and distance to curb is primary concern here.
Personally, I reverse into my garage spot and would much prefer the driver-side stay as is to ensure I'm not too close to the other car and have the passenger side tilt as I am going up against a wall and it's help to see more of the lower back bumper that is afforded by tilting the mirror.
The easiest fix would be to allow you to save settings similar to method described above. Bummer if it doesn't work, was going to try when I got home tonight.

You press it 10 conservative times, I just kept pressing the button until the rainbow light turned out tho lol. Hope it works for you!
I had the same problem, however, I knew they were going to be there. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to hit SKIP in time before it started to close.
I wish we could SKIP at anytime.
No blinkers during reboot. Not sure what else doesn't work...maybe wipers, high beams, horn?
Once it sends out the signal there's nothing to skip. But you can always hit the name again to resend the signal and stop the door.
