What are your favorite “little things” about your MY?

[Lockerbie]

Mine are a) stop the car, walk away and not having to worry about shutting engine, lock, etc.. and b) one pedal driving

 

[GeezerSquid]

Those two plus Dog Mode and a not so little feature - never having to go to a gas station!!

1 pedal driving is great... until you get into another car and you don't slow down as fast you you are expecting and you have to *gasp* use the friction brakes.
Having a full-ish tank every morning. Since they recommend only charging to 80%, you have an almost full tank of energy.
Dog mode is great. Always works, and providing someone doesn't smash your window to "rescue" the dog which was sitting in a nice A/C car. Abstract Ocean has some cute decals to put on the windows to avoid that.
Beach Buggy - if you have a X-Box controller, it helps to kill some time while sitting in the nice dog mode car. Very similar to Mario Karts.
if you want to use a wireless controller, as I do, you will need a Controller adapter that plugs into a USB port that will "talk" to your wireless controller.
I also like the auto wipers and auto high beam. They work well for me.
Over the air updates, so your car can be "improved". There are risks with this but so far I've received 5 updates and the car hasn't been "bricked" yet. Of course, I always wait a few days before installing the update just in case.
The acceleration.

I like stepping on the accelerator and seeing we're doing 115mph with no complaints from the car

Autopilot.

Stop and go traffic is a don't care. It also works well when I'm driving home from work and the sun is directly in my eyes.

 

[Electric > Gas]

1. No keys! I love walking up the car and opening it without messing with keys! I also love not having a bulky key fob in my pocket. Now if only I could find a way to not need my wallet!

2. No need to spend time pumping gas. I always seemed to need gas when I was running late for something, when it was awful weather, or both.

3. Being able to turn on the heat and seat warmer in advance so I can walk right into a comfortable car.

4. The instant power when I need it!

5. Saving so much money using electricity over gas! My MPG equivalent is about 100 and that's amazing!

6. Looking forward to updates/new features!

 

[Srad600Volt]

• keyless operation
• effortless acceleration
• fueling up in my garage (from Solar)
• constant advancements

 

[Darmie]

Crossover size with bunches of room for passengers and cargo, but still drives like a small sports car with great power.

 

[mrbloons]

• Being able to pre-heat the car in a closed garage (no fumes)!
• Voice activated navigation and other controls that works great.
• Phone as key and all the phone app features.
• Send (share) destinations from my phone's map app right to the car navigation.
• In car entertainment - Netflix, Youtube, games

• Send (share) destinations from my phone's map app right to the car navigation.

Interesting.. is that an Android or IOS function?

Works on iOS, not sure about Android.

From either Google Maps or Apple Maps, Tesla shows up as an option when you click 'Share' on any location. Pretty seamless and convenient.

 

[NY_Rob]

I'm running Android.. I'll give it a try.. thanks!

Back in the day, you could send destinations from Google maps on your PC to your phone for use in the car. Haven't tried that lately though.

 

[MY-Y]

Works on Android as well.

 

[NY_Rob]

^ sounds good.. will give it a shot tomorrow, thanks!

 

[MY-Y]

Here is a really little thing I like. The visors are held by a strong magnet instead of a clip that often fails or gets loose.

Spotify continues playing as soon as you open the door.

 

[NY_Rob]

Getting "looks" and 2nd looks while driving through a Ford dealership lot.. lol

Things specific to Tesla, not available on other vehicles include over-the-air updates, Sentry mode, the multiple camera built-in dashcam and the Supercharger Network. Also Tesla Mobile Service (wherever this is available.)

The acceleration.

Get in and drive, stop and walk away. I am so used to it that when I drove my wife’s SUV and parked, as I was walking away she asked me if I had forgotten anything, like shutting off the engine, pulling out the key, locking the door.

Haven’t been to a gas station in six months.

FSD, even in its current iteration.

Kept me out of what would have been my first accident in 50 years of driving. It saw something coming fast I had not and actively avoided it, would have been a five car accident at 80 mph.

Dashcam.

All the comments, waves, and thumbs up, nearly all from young people. And one grandmother.

The other day I was listening to a song on Spotify on my Google Nest Hub in the kitchen, went upstairs and my phone took over the song, then back down to the garage, got into the car and it was playing there, all seamlessly, nary a skip or jump.

Lol.. did the same thing with my wife's Honda Pilot... I just got out and walked away... and I even left the key in the ignition with the engine running ... her comment "what is wrong with you?". After driving the MY for a while regular cars seem antiquated, not user friendly and very inefficient.
