I for one hope they never give us 3G pricing.
Also don't care if the car doesn't has Wifi... Never thought I'd be getting >4 months free.

+1, currently cellular if free, as long as that remains free I could care less about WiFi. Yes I realize that some people live in areas with poor cell signal. But in the words of Sam Kinison (RIP) "Move to where the signal is"I for one hope they never give us 3G pricing.
I think I'd rather have sleep mode than any of the above!
Plus one...

I need Wi-Fi. Can't do squat with my car via app when at home. It's been a bit of a pain as sometimes when Tesla needed to check my logs or push an update I've needed to drive to an area with decent coverage about 2 miles away and just sit in the car and wait for the data transfer.
I assume you're joking about the "move to where the signal is" comment.

Playlists!
I'd love Tesla to send owners an email to ask very simply:
What is not up to par on your car?
Then maybe address the majority of common complaints.

Elon mentioned that the car would learn your habits and adjust accordingly (Heuristic learning). For example - If every morning at 7:00am you get into your car, set the temperature at 70 degrees and play a certain station, the car would start doing it automatically over time. Also he talked about the car holding it's temperature for a certain period of time (not related to having to do so manually through a phone app) so if you were in a hot area, the car would stay at a comfortable temperature for a couple of hours.

While this stuff is cool and certainly possible, I'm not sure I'd even like that. Sure, it'd be cool to tell your friends about, but what about when I go on business trips? I don't want my car turning on the A/C when I'm not home. Every time I break my routine, I'd have to tell the car to "stay put and don't do anything". Seems like it'd be a nuisance.
And think of how much energy would be wasted by keeping the car cooled for even 30 minutes after you get out of it. It just seems like a nightmare to try to implement in the real world. Yes, people have patterns that are somewhat reliable for a majority of the time, but breaking those patterns (which isn't that uncommon) shouldn't result in a massive waste of energy and unnecessary wear on components. I guess I prefer being able to control it via smartphone.
But I don't want to get too far off topic: I had heard that up until recently, the size of the software development team was about 18 people (don't recall the exact number) and has recently undergone some significant hiring growth. (Seriously?!? *18* people to develop the car's systems/OS/UI, the smart phone apps, the support apps that ownership uses to interact with your car, and the apps the service team uses to interact with your car?!? Holy moly, no wonder very little was getting done!
Maybe that will help them get moving on what has up until now been a painfully slow development pace.
They are right above the rear windows pointing at the rear seats respectively (one on each side) similar to the button push-type lights for the driver and passenger but those are location more in front of you. Basically they are where a 'oh $%!&' handle would be for the rear seats if they existed.

I have the rear map lights, so they started fairly early.

IMO, almost a year on and we're still waiting for an answer to this question: So-What-exactly-is-the-value-of-a-Signature-Model-S
It can't have been the bag, and everyone still has the 3G service so that doesn't count.....

Yeah my two week old baby, has at least now, real glass for the vanity mirrors (not plastic mirrors), but no lights around them. And it does have front and rear map lights. And door and seat-back pockets.
Okay, maybe not that last one.
oooh, good one, I'd forgotten about that. I need that in the winter, summer is fine (except when the roof is open and my forehead gets baked)
That's implied by the HDD access, but I'll make it more prominent.
Yeah, as many have argued Tesla never "promised" anything more than we've gotten, I decided to leave that horse out of this race.

In video 3, I don't hear anything about the mentioned text message support.
But I did hear:
- temperature management
- schedule learning
He used the word automatic a lot in that description.

Funny, I see nothing in the contract or the advertisement which would indicate that I would ever have to pay for 3G. If Tesla would try to charge for this I would be very annoyed.
You don't have to pay for 3G or Slacker. But you might find that services related to both stop functioning at some point.
