That "Service car soon. Car may stop unexpectedly." error message pops up on occasion. Each time I called to ask, they said it was a bug and fine if it went away quickly. If it comes on and stays then then I'd probably be more worried. Obviously, this bug should get fixed as showing this message when nothing is wrong will just alarm people unnecessarily.

And it could start desensitizing people to the warning such that in the future when it's for real they'll ignore it. Tesla should be very careful to fix this and not have it crop up again.

Also, the location of the windshield washer well is possibly the dumbest thing on the car. It is blocked by a strut for the frunk, and seems impossible to fill without filling the frunk. ....

We use a no spill watering can similar to the above for precision watering of plants around the house.

I repurposed a funnel that was used for oil. I put it upside down on the jug of windshield washer fluid.

Or revel in the irony of using a no spill gas can!

I added fluid to the reservoir without a funnel, but it necessitated doing a left-handed hook shot around that gas strut. Not the easiest maneuver.

Two problems just ocurred :
1) I pushed on the driver side door handle to see if it would pop out without the key fob in proximity . The door opened!

Was the car locked? If you have "walk away locking" the fob needs to be 30' or so away before it'll lock. If your fob is just inside your garage door it likely won't lock. Likewise if the car is locked but you touch the door handle it will send out a signal to the fob. If it gets a response it will unlock. I think your fob was just too close.

I had no problems adding wiper fluid.

Oh, noes! Lefty car designers alert! The horror!

The Latin word for Left-handed is 'sinister'. With good reason! :scared:

Hate to return this thread to its origins. . .

However, I took delivery yesterday, and my B-Pillar was identical to pguerra's beautiful black smudge. My DS, of course, has been great about being willing to make sure that it is taken care of. Has everyone found that this is a "cleanable" issue, or has anyone had the cover on the B-pillar replaced for this problem?
