... and I freakin love it! Quite a few of my friends have Teslas and are thrilled for me ... and wondered why it took me so long to come around. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Seriously, though, I can't stop driving this thing!
I do have a few of hiccups I need to get worked out and I turn to the community for guidance on some:
1 - finally got my phone paired with the car. But if I answer my phone then hang up after talking it "seems" as if my radio/streaming audio doesn't automatically go back to where it was. Maybe a one-time hiccup but I literally just experienced that. I'll keep looking for an answer
2 - I bought a Tesla Bike Rack and installed it myself (a feat in its own right) ... but when in reverse with the Bike Rack folded down with no bike ... I still get the in-car "stop" alarms/notifications that something is behind me when tryin g to back out of my driveway, etc. I've learned to live with it after 2 days ... but wondered if there is a solution not labeled "take the bike rack off when not in use?"
3 - I had my electrician install a 50/220 outlet in my garage in anticipation of my Tesla being delivered - I did not install a Tesla charger/station ... and (wrongly) assumed I could simply plug my Tesla charger into the wall. I have looked and looked and ordered four different adaptors as the go between ... for my Tesla plug and the wall. I hope that makes sense. I am not the brightest with this stuff. Alas, it seems there isn't an adaptor for my problem ... so I will bite the bullet and now order a Tesla Charger/Station for my garage. Make sense? Thoughts?
4 - My elementary school-aged son is embarrassed by the Tesla. Says I should have kept my old car that I've been driving since 2013 (I have been saving for 8 years to buy this car). Anyone else have that familial problem? Yeah, awkward ... but it's a real thing with my son. Oh, and my wife thinks the White interior is gaudy. I absolutely LOVE it ha ha
5 - Still getting comfortable with the "just get out of the car and walk away" feature. I am so used to dealing with keys ... then hitting the alarm button, etc. I'm sure everyone has dealt with that? Is there ever a way where the car is mistakenly left on when simply getting out and walking away? That's my biggest worry right now
Lastly ...
6 - I will also look on YouTube, etc., but I couldn't "Unlock" the back door(s) this morning at school drop off ... and quickly got embarrassed cuz I didn't know how to ... so I simply unlocked my door which (thankfully) unlocked all car doors. I'm sure it's a button on my side of the car
That's it ... just giving my impressions so far ... and, oh, I will be taking the car for a spin again today because I can!
