Can't hate this car at all. My X P100D is just awesome.
Gripes I do have:
1. Bluetooth issues in general - phone won't drop connection after a call and car radio doesn't come back on. I sometimes have to actually make another call and then END so the radio will resume. (Apple iPhone 7s Plus)
2. Phone is connected via BT but the audio won't work. Volume is up, phone says it's on Tesla, but no audio heard on either end. Have to resort to phone's speaker/hands free.
3. 8 Cameras and no way to use them! Not fair. Parking in a garage would be so much easier if a camera would show front area (like Audi, Mercedes, etc) when needed. Also, we should be able to download the camera footage recorded from the day ourselves and not be limited to what Tesla says we can have (with a court order I presume).
4. Model X gull-wing doors, when opening while it's raining, dump all the water that was sitting on the roof right onto the leather seats below along the centerline. VERY annoying - and shocking to the passengers.
5. Audio sources need to have their own volume level saved when switching to different sources. XM radio (which I use the most) doesn't play at the same level as the FM or USB, etc. Switching back to XM can be VERY loud until I get the volume turned down.
6. Mute needs to stay muted until I control otherwise - opening doors, and other actions unmute the radio - not cool
7. Rain-sensing wipers (beta) seems to be working fairly well. A few quirks yet to resolve...
8. Auto High-Beams don't switch to High Beam easily and often stay low when not necessary.
9. Really wish the audio system had an app to control it so that kids in the backseat can select the song(s) they want to hear without asking me to do that each time. I installed a nifty Logitech trackball with a USB receiver into the console USB socket and that lets them move the "cursor" (actually a large fuzzy blue ball) around on the screen - but they can control EVERYTHING with that trackball and sometimes that's just too much to have to monitor.
10. Wish there was a coat hook but I know there are after-market devices, some rather cool actually, that solve this problem, so it's not that big a deal for me.
11. Wish there was a USB port on the dash to left of steering wheel. I don't want phone so low in the car = antenna signal strength affected and display impossible to read. Phone calls coming in don't always display ALL of the caller ID on the center screen but do on the phone itself. I mounted one of those adhesive mounts on the dash, left of the wheel, right next to door pull. Easy to grab phone when opening the door to exit! Magnet mount on back of phone works great and it only cost $9... no brainer. HOWEVER... charging cord has to drape over the steering wheel column and that's just annoying. A USB port on left would be awesome.
12. Dash "glove box" needs to be digitally lockable separate from the Valet mode. I don't want kids, etc, going through glove box dropping important things on the floor that get lost in acceleration. I should be able to just hold down the open button for an extended time and enter a PIN to lock it, thus requiring PIN each subsequent time to open. (With a toggle on/off ability).
13. Ventilated seats do work, but cabin has to be COLD for them to really help. Wish they were AC instead of just vented like Ford and GM high-line vehicles have.
14. Model X front windshield pillars are TOO LARGE and have actually prevented me from seeing traffic coming from certain angles. I have had two near-misses because I just couldn't see the other vehicle blocked by the pillars. I'm 6' and sit with the seat fairly high for best visibility and still this is an issue.
15. Would be REALLY nice if 12 VDC was available for windshield mounted devices like my Valentine One radar detector (don't leave home without one!). Truly hate the annoying cord coming down the dash to be plugged into the only 12V cig adapter in the car.
16. When sitting with the car parked, waiting for someone, I usually have my center screen on other pages besides Controls / Doors. So when they return to the car and I want to open the door for them it would be REALLY nice if some other button was always displayed somewhere that would not be so time consuming to access to open the door. So if the car is in park add a few extra buttons at the bottom of the screen (near AC controls for instance) to instantly open any of the doors or trunk.
17. Not sure why others complain so much about NAV system. Mine works great and, by the way, WAZE is owned by Google and the traffic data is displayed in colored lines right on the map (when zoomed to an appropriate scale). Love this feature and haven't used WAZE in a while (although still do when making long trips to be made aware of "other" Waze info like police, accidents, etc.).
18. Body panel fit and finish is not what it should be for a $175k car. Gap between panels, slight mis-alignment of doors (so when closed they don't quite fit flush to the other panels), etc.
19. Truly wish we could configure how we want doors to open from the key fob, perhaps two choices. One for driver and passenger, and one for all 4 passenger doors. Remotely opening each one is time consuming from the fob. Nice if this was on the phone app.
20. Speaking of phone app: Need remote steering wheel and seat heat activation, need remote acceptance of software update with immediate or timed installation, need nav destination input as selected from a phone contact's address (yes, I use the calendar Location field, but not everything is calendared), and need to be able to actually open the doors, not just unlock them (as described in 19 above).
21. The Speed Limit knowledge in the UI is just wrong on so many streets. Posted speeds of 45 mph but dash says 30 mph - that sucks! Can we post a bug on speed limits via the tool for doing so (voice command)?
22. Why can't we have a keypad for entering XM channels? Finding a sports game or hitting a non-programmed channel is a nightmare, especially while driving. Worse than making a phone call as you have to LOOK at the screen to make sure you are actually touching the arrow to change the channel up or down. Getting to CNBC (112) literally took over a hundred presses to finally get to and then favorite. Stupid stupid stupid. And the entire UI for the audio system is the WORST I've ever seen on ANY high-end vehicle in 20 years. I don't stream music (kids do) but I bounce around news and sports all the time. Don't listen to FM ever, glad to see AM gone. But I'm an XM fanatic and need better control. Categories don't work, never have, so the kid's streaming favorites are all mixed in with my favorites too. No superior tech / UI found here.
I'm an engineer and truly appreciate all the stuff Tesla DID do right, but the above 22 items are a day to day annoyance. I agree with others, loose the engineering time for easter eggs and such - solve the real problems the car STILL exhibits years after launch.
