Took delivery yesterday @ Long Beach. Some new finds.

I took delivery yesterday.

1) CT had 77 miles on it but Odometer Disclosure Statement said 16 miles. I did not protest.
2) Delivery was fast and easy in Long Beach CA.
3) I traded in a 3P and once you accept your CT using the app the 3P disappears from the app so get your stuff out of your trade before you accept.
4) I didn’t have to pair keys in the CT. It did it automatically. I did have to pair for BT phone.
5) There is a blind spot indicator in the CT! A little red dot shows in the tiny square speaker in the door frame. See pic.
6) Range is horrible so far. Going 80-85 with 2 adults and 100lbs on the 5 fwy 150 miles of range disappeared after 100 miles.
7) Couldn’t find cruise control for a while. You just long press the right scroll wheel. Not obvious. No lane keep yet.
8) Our first stop was Starbucks after picking up CT and a crowd gathered. I hear this is common. Lots of people never heard of it or didn’t know it’s a Tesla.
9) You can’t get to stuff in the bed if it’s close to the cab without climbing in. I knew that already but my knees didn’t.
10) Hard to go slow. 80 seems like 65. Never had this sensation in the 3P.
11) one of my cleat in the bed is missing. I have 2 open ones and 1 closed one.
12) Boombox doesn’t work at all but the CT thinks it’s works, showing music notes coming out from under the CT on screen.
13) Entire body is metal so I put a fridge magnet of my kids on the bumper.
14) back doors open to 90 degrees but not the front doors.
15) Back windows go down almost all the way but much further than the 3P.
16) Wheels look great with no center cap. No complaints.

Your closed cleat is a bottle opener, nothing is missing.

Thanks. I feel better now! I’m glad I didn’t call them all upset.

Congrats, OP and thanks for that list!!

Love the fridge magnet idea.

 

[CapheDa]

Also, we brought the icemaker this road trip. Always wanted to do this.

It’s very apparent the range is as advertised if you keep it below 65. That’s gonna be a big adjustment for me ?

Too vague. Please expand a lot.

Any chance we can get a picture of your wh/mile, the range calculation being off by 1/3 seems a bit steep even at those speeds.
Interesting place to put the blind spot monitor, BUT it makes sense as you will still have it if you remove the mirrors.

We drink a lot of iced coffee. I put a portable icemaker under the back screen and plugged it in to the 110 outlet under the back screen. Easy peasy. You have to turn the power on from the main screen once and then set the power to remain on when you are in the CT.

Thanks for the explanation and picture. Nice. I didn't realize they made 120v countertop models. We have had a fridge between our Model X captain seats for several years for long road trips. Makes an unbelievable difference. Doubles as a lunch table.

Quote: There is a blind spot indicator in the CT! A little red dot shows in the tiny square speaker in the door frame. Can you explain more? Blind spot for what area?

 

[gaswalla]

i'm guessing a blind spot indicator for the blind spot that is present in every car when looking out the rear view camera

Your back windows go down all the way. You just have to push the button again. It’s a setting to keep the door from rattling with the window down all the way. So hard push the button to put the window down. It will stop with ~2 inches above the frame. Then push it again and it will go all the way down. Enjoy!

Yea I have seen a couple people mentioning this, makes sense for the rear windows as the % of the time a passenger is back there is low compared to people just wanting air flow in the truck and putting the rear windows down a bit

 

[CapheDa]

Yes most cars nowadays have a yellow indicator in the left and right mirror that appears when a car is near you, on your right or left. Teslas have been criticized for not having that feature in the mirrors. This solves that problem.
