I really appreciate your write up too. We expect to have our X sometime in June, and hope to have the occasional road trip with our four kids, all six and under. Wish us luck! We were at our Florida residence last week and I took a day trip to Legoland. I expect you will find many things your little one will enjoy there too, should you want to add to your excursion the next time. Love the blue colour. Cheers, Jon
Because it's just so cute! It's a mini X (or S), and for those times when the real thing isn't by your side, the key is a friendly little reminder.
Hey there Thor! Great write up about your trip. I work for Marker 88 Restaurant that had the destination charger at 40 amps instead of 80 amps. The installers forgot to change the switches for a 100 amp breaker so it was at the default 40 amps. I personally changed the switches to deliver the full 80 amps myself, so we should be good from now on. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Tesla read your post and let us know what was going on with the charger. I have a Model X as well!
Awesome, I'm glad to hear you got it sorted out and we definitely appreciated the charge and the good food! Next time we are in the keys we will definitely eat at one of your restaurants and grab a 72 amp charge Hope you are enjoying your X!
Great posts @CmdrThor. Enjoyed reading and hope you had a great trip to the Magic Kingdom. I accidentally discovered when I pressed the top of the fob shuts both the front doors. I understand in the latest update, the same action will close all the doors... Accidentally, in my pocket leaning in the car and hitting the top of the fob... beeeep.... the front doors slam shut. Maybe that is what is happening to you as well. With an issue with my window regulator -- window camming over the chrome, I turned the auto door off. They are fixing it and replacing the molding around the driver's door in Decatur. See you around the A.T.L.
That's possible, but I think it was just in an odd position where it thought I had walked away, then thought I was in range over and over. It got better a couple of updates ago, and now the latest update is much better. If you have the driver's side falcon door open and you approach from the front, the door just cracks open and it no longer swings open fully (since the sensor is in the falcon door and it has no idea whether there is a car next to you). Additionally it seems to give you an extra half second or so to get by when you approach from the front.
Yes we are aware I still like the feature and it works well when you only have one key present. I typically disable it if my wife is going to drive because she doesn't like it as much and I definitely disable it if a valet is going to have to drive (although I avoid that like the plague).
That setting is profile-specific, and I would guess valet mode disables it as well. So you could program your wife's profile to exclude auto-presenting doors and yours to include it and just use the profile switcher depending on who's driving. If my guess about valet mode is wrong, you could also just create a valet profile and have it disabled on that profile. I keep it off family-wide.. but hopefully someday will be comfortable enough to enable it.
Interesting, I'll test that out and just set her profile before she is going to drive instead of that setting. It would be nice if specific keys could automatically set the driver profile but it doesn't seem like Tesla is going to enable that.
If the X gets excited to see you coming and starts opening the door, just shout "Nooo!! bad boy! Bad boy ! Door down.. down! .shhh good boy !..good Tesla!" It's just like a dog happy to see you and wanting to go for a drive all the time. Few iterations of this and you are all set.
I tested it out and the setting does not seem to be profile specific. So back to manually setting and unsetting it.
Sorry for that. I must have been remembering walk away door locks. Here is a shot of what's saved in profiles:
