    Thanks. I can imagine how someone not intending to activate summon bring up the screen when double-pressing park (accidentally when distracted and wanted to make sure the car is in park, or to demo the screen) and then not paying attention.

    Once summon is enabled, chimes will be going off in the interior and hazards will be flashing. It's pretty hard to miss the fact that summon is pending.

    This is obsolete as of software update 2.18.77, released today.

    2.18.77 Release Notes, entire text -- there's also a diagram of what comes up on screen with double-park activation:
    See here and here.

    Our garage. :) Designed it, made it on our 3D printer, then iterated several times. My son and I offered it for sale here on the TMC forums, but only sold 2 in 2 years. Besides, the standardization of parking sensors essentially put us out of business on this item (which is OK since we would rather keep focusing on making and selling the UMC bracket).

    Thanks for asking!

    • You can open the charge port door by simply pressing it in the front-bottom corner.
    • You can remove the charger by holding the button on the charger until the ring illuminates white.
    • When closing the frunk, always use the two-palm method, spaced about 8 inches off-center each.
    • While driving, you can tell when your brake lights are on (e.g. during regenerative braking) by checking if the brake bar in the center console image is illuminated.
    • You can adjust the nav volume by rolling the volume wheel while nav is "talking".
    • Model S now includes rear cupholders. Simply press the area below the USB chargers in the rear of the center console.

    That one only applies if your new car was delivered since August or so. They don't magically appear in previously delivered cars. ;)

    Unfortunately many upgrades tend not to appear in previous vehicles, at least those which can't be sent "by air".

    I will be sorry for the HUD I know it : D

    All windows down was a feature I had in my P85 and I miss it when it was removed. I asked that they add the option as a setting that can be disabled by default but can be made enabled in the cars preferance settings! Enable it during the summer, disable in in the fall!

    I believe you can pull the cruise control stalk for a few seconds to make the CC speed (in the circle) match the max. Speed detected by gps or signal read by the camera.
