[Carnasis]

You average 375 wh/mI while towing?! (Asking to confirm since you post a photo with the CT towing.)

Not while towing, no.

I'm not sure what he's referring to as an extra button. There's a mic, windshield wiper, and camera button on the right and an image of a speedometer to show that's how you adjust the speed during AP/cruise control.

The left side has left and right blinkers and the highbeam switch. And finally an image of a 4 way cursor to indicate it is used to control up,down,left,right selections and features.

Am I missing a secret button?

Its the image of a 4 way cursor, it does nothing and I wish I could map it to something

The Long press of the left scroll wheel can be programmed.

Cool. Which trailer model is this?

This is right, but I think the unused button slot I mentioned should be programmable as well since it has no other use

Its a 2000 Airstream Safari, built like a tank!

I thought that you could code that button to do what you want. I might be wrong cause I don't have a cybertruck lol, but I thought that was right...

Great list. In our short with with ours the thing that drives me nuts is seats below. The bottom cushion is was too short. Needs more thigh support.

• Seats are comfortable but thigh bolsters are a bit narrow. I would like an under thigh bolster like other Teslas.

You cannot, at least as of right now. I'd love to be able to program it for the imminent off-road light bar.

Yeah I've tried to move around my seating position as much as I can but there's just nothing I can really do. I'd prefer to have a Model Y seat bottom to put it bluntly.

Thanks for the review, worth a read for anyone.

The 4 way arrow image near left scroll wheel isn't a button at all. It's a label to denote the left scroll wheel. There is a similar non-button/label on the right hand side by the scroll wheel over there as well. I don't remember how I figured this out but I think I watched the videos on the app or was thumbing through the manual.

EDIT: wasn't in videos on app. I can't remember where I say it. Something from Tesla.

Your feedback is still totally valid though because it LOOKS like a button. Definitely unintuitive.

• There is an extra button on the steering wheel with no function to it
  
  @Carnasis What button are you referring too?
  
  Nevermind, someone spoke of it above. I believe you're referring to the icon for the scroll wheel long press. Yeah, that was a bit confusing at first, thought it was a button as well.

Excellent review. Agree with most everything. Would add to cons;
No electronic rear view mirror. My biggest complaint.

I first thought the electronic rear view mirror was a con, in fact I was upset when I got it when I saw the dollar store mirror up there. But I got used to the on screen one and I removed my rear view mirror entirely and now I have an obstructed view out my windshield and I am used to the screen and actually prefer it this way. What I will say is, I would like a digital rear view mirror that can connected to a trailer backup camera for towing. Would be nice if that came natively with the truck.

• The D rings in the bed to attach your straps to have hinges that are incredibly tight to move.

I had this same problem. Was caused by the hinge pressing against the liner. Simple fix was adding a 3/8" i.d. fender washer under the problematic D-rings.
