Did a couple of longer trips this summer , 1400km, and 1000km. Overall as usual, driving the Model X on the highway is fantastic. Solid vehicle with immense acceleration making passing a breeze.
However the following range from mildly annoying to frustrating.
1. Navigation will not re-route.
Literally five minutes after leaving a supercharger, I get the warning to keep speed under 110km/hr to make the next stop. This is where the speed limit is 120km/hour. Why not have me charge longer? Why not re-route or give the option of re-routing to the next supercharger on the highway, instead of bypassing that one and keeping the original planned supercharger as the next stop, yet having to drive below the speed limit to get there.
2. No stored data- I consistently take 5-10 per cent more battery charge than it says I will need. It would be much better to individualize this on average energy used/driving habits.
3. No map preference options- every time I pull down the directions on the map, or turn of the car, the map orientation resets. I prefer having my vehicle displayed always point 'up'. Why cannot I just set that, instead of having to continually reset this.
4. lack of warning from navigation-sometimes it will give me a warning about an upcoming turn, but often that warning is way too late, ie. take exit right lane, which happens right when you get there. not sure why it warns you ahead of time sometimes, and past the last minute at others. Garmin had this figured out over a decade ago.
5. . No sirius xm app.
6. Key Fob- not sure if this happens to anyone else? I often have the fob in my front pocket. since it is a one press on the top to lock everything, often if i am leaning into the trunk to get something my leg presses the bumper and the hatch starts to close on my head.
While I get some of these are minor, they are all minor compared to the challenge of FSD. Which makes me wonder how far away it really is.
