On that note I would like to find a location and set the sat nav to it from my phone like most modern cars do.
- The display is unacceptably slow and hasn't been updated since the car was released in 2012. For what this vehicle costs, and given the target demographic, something in the ballpark of Android smoothness is a reasonable expectation.
- The navigation system is abominable.
I've actually had similar experiences with the Tesla Navigation. There have been a couple of times where it has routed me in a really strange way, and I thought it has to be wrong, so I ignored it and went the way I thought was best. But in the end, the navigation was routing be around bad traffic. This has happened to me several times, so now I just say to myself "Learn to trust the Tesla" and follow the nav more often then not. If I'm really worried, I double check with Google maps on the phone, and as you mentioned, it usually matches.I agree the display is sub-par but it is not really "bad", and I have to disagree on the navigation.
The navigation may not be the best, but it is certainly far from "abominable." It makes mistakes once in awhile, but generally I find it to be quite usable. i use it constantly. My spouse's Garmin is supposed to be very good, but it makes errors, too, and is terribly slow to "acquire satellites," much slower than the Model S system is. When i have done comparisons to Google maps on our phones, the Tesla system and Google have not disagreed, or not by much, and a lot of the differences can be accounted for by the settings. Again, I agree not perfect, but would not make my "hate" list, for sure. I would hate if I did not have it and needed to rely on a tiny screen on a phone or GPS unit, for sure!
Yeah it can be confusing.I hate how I do not know how to disconnect my charger... I had to try multiple time every day... maybe I am not doing it right
However when port is charging (green) a single press will stop the charging momentarily, will not unlock the connector, and the charging will resume after a few seconds. In this instance you should hold the button down until charging stops, the connector unlocks, and the port turns white. Takes 2ish seconds.
Oh my god, THATS what's going on.

I just bought new Goodyear tires that evidently have some kind of foam on the inside of the tires and the difference from the Michelin Primus tires is amazing - much more quiet.Nothing, but I wish it was better insulated for sound (X), I hear the 3 is better in this regard.
I got over 38,000 on the first set of tires. You must be doing something wrong or you need a good alignment.I am incredibly annoyed that I struggle to get 8k miles out of a set of rear tires (staggered, so no rotating). Mind you that this is with no aggressive driving. Early on I found out by visual inspection because they would wear on the insides all the way down to the steel belting. Now, the first warning of low pressure on the dash lets me know that my wallet is being sucked open for another premature set of rear tires
