I like the quiet chords that play when I start or stop the car while my door is closed and seat belt is buckled. Give it a try if you haven't, you may find it less annoying than the door or belt reminders.
If he purchased FSD then his car has auto lane change.
Both the MME on the showroom floor and the car I test drove did play a chord when starting. My car does not. Is there a setting in there somewhere to enable it? Not that I necessarily want it on or off (though I did like the sound the moment I sat in the showroom floor car), but it kind of bugged me my car doesn't play the chord and I wanna know why.
It should do this if there aren't any warning conditions when you start. The main things to check are that all doors are closed and all passengers are buckled. Then start the vehicle.
Wow. Thatās surprisingly dumb for Tesla. Thanks for the info.With standard autopilot engaged (which is both auto lane keep and traffic aware cruise control), the steering wheel is completely controlled by the car. You cannot temporarily take control to change lane. If you turned the steering wheel by more than 2 degrees or so, auto lane change disengages and you have control of the steering wheel; traffic aware cruise control remains active. Forcibly disengaging auto lane keep in this fashion is quite unsmooth as you can probably imagine. To avoid abruptly disengaging auto lane keep, flick the right stalk up to disengage the system, do your lane change, and double-flick the right stalk down to re-engage. Or buy FSD
Yes, the way the MME (and even on Hyundais equipped with the lane keep function) handles lane changes is preferable - temporarily disengage lane keep the moment you use the turn signal, and re-engage itself once the lane change is complete.
Driving on local roads, yes AP limits you to +5MPH max. On freeway you can crank it up to 75 (80 after he gets the update on his Tesla Vision car).
How does road noise compare?
I, too, donāt understand the hate of the start button. When I push the start button, my seat and mirrors go to my settings, and the screens begin to boot up. Do Teslaās not have power seats that move back for ease of entry/exit? If they do, what triggers these movements? Do you need to verbally tell your Tesla to start up?
While I like my grabber blue, I prefer deep saturated colors over pastels. 12/10 if there was a sapphire blue or emerald green, I would choose them over grabber blue. Of all the colors available on the Mach-E, Rapid Red is my favorite.
I can not reliably change radio or climate control settings in my Mach-E until after I back out of my driveway, and drive to the end of my block. It takes a solid 45 seconds or so for the infotainment system to boot up completely in my car.itās pretty clearly a software issue, because the instant I shift to reverse, the camera comes up on the screen, even at startup.
Absolutely agree. My wife was looking at Escapes and loved the dark persian green, but they discontinued it! She wants an Escape PHEV which aren't for sale yet, and is definitely bummed that they discontinued her favorite color.
I hit the power button as soon as I sit down, and wait for the sync4 to boot up before shifting into drive. While I'm waiting I buckle up, close the door, open the windows, etc. It's annoying but not that bad.
It just happens when you open the door, screen is already ready and music is playing before I sit down
On the contrary. Teslaās tech doesnāt scare me in the slightest. I just hate the look. Disguise the Spartan design choices behind technobabble language all they like, they cheaped out on the Y and 3. Just because things can be placed on a tablet for control doesnāt mean they should. Two excellent examples: air vents and the speedometer.
The MME is far, far quieter than the Model 3. It was immediately apparent on my test drive even on local roads.
Very typical attitude of some Tesla superfans (I'm not accusing the OP of being one, and I actually agree with him on most points) - if Tesla does/doesn't do something, then it is/isn't needed.
Yes I too have noticed that it takes a bit of time for the infotainment screen to be fully responsive, but at least the backup camera has always come on immediately upon shifting to reverse. I have seen the opposite though, that the camera remains on the screen until the system becomes fully responsive (and not because I have the delayed camera setting enabled). Tesla also has a similar quirk sometimes, the camera is blank for a while after shifting into reverse, but the infotainment screen is always responsive one the car is awaken, 10-15 seconds or so. Keep in mind, in those 10-15 seconds during wake up, you cannot interact with the screen at all, so you can't open the glovebox, open or close your garage door, or choose your driver profile until it's fully awaken.
