      @Gjeebs You skipped "Unlock on Park". You have it on but I recommend it off. As long as the child safety thing isn't on people can always open the doors from the interior. The issue is people opening the doors from the outside. This setting also applies for the trunk. If you pull over and park with this on to wait for someone a thief can run up to your trunk and do a quick open and grab.

    I personally like to leave PIN to drive turned on as an extra layer of security, so if someone steals your phone or keycard they might be able to get into the car but at least they won't be able to drive/tow it away.

      Well, my phone has its own security measures. The really good thing about PIN 2 drive: someone carjacks you get up out of the seat, immediately the car again requires PIN. Even with the phone in the car.
      Don't use swipe to open your phone.

    Lane Departure Avoidance applies corrective steering to keep the car in its lane while "Emergency" Lane Departure Avoidance takes more aggressive action, automatically steering the car back into its lane if the system detects an imminent risk of leaving the lane and potentially causing a collision. I think one example of an emergency scenario might be where you are changing lanes and a car is in your blind spot, it may veer you back into your lane along with an audio warning.

    • @1519Spring

    I appreciate all the automatic features. Essentially, I just need to get in and drive. There is no need to lock or unlock, rarely any need to touch the headlights, no need to operate the windshield wipers, and on most trips, I seldom touch the brake. There is no need to "start" the car, nor to shift it out of park. It even initiates the GPS if it predicts I am heading to work or home. I simply open the door, sit down, close the door, press the gas pedal, and steer.. oh yeah, and start the radio. =)

    I was waiting for you to talk about the automatic blindspot camera. This feature actually can be annoying when navigating in cities and you need all the real estate to understand where you need to be - when the blindspot camera comes on, it distracts a bit. So I'd turn that off, especially when driving in busy areas where you're not familiar and need all the navigation and map visuals. But, alas, this was not a big deal to you ;-)

    The pin to drive I would definitely recommend you turn that on, IMO.

      While in Auto Pilot I always keep my foot on the accelerator in heavy traffic and often continuously override its more cautious tendencies allowing me to maintain the distance I want to the vehicle in front. Then when I’m happy to let it take over again I stop pressing on the accelerator and simply monitor what it’s doing.

      AutoPilot does 99% of the work which I use 70% of the time. Think of it as your teenage nephew with no experience but smart and fastidious to understand simple instructions. He cannot optimize car position, vehicle spacing and see dangers ahead but you can with your years of experience so why would you hand complete control over to your nephew and then yell at him when he makes a mistake. It’s a team effort where AutoPilot does 99% of the work for you. Don’t mistake your need to do you 1% and to monitor what its doing by paying MORE attention to the road not LESS which you can accomplish because you’ve been unburdened by the monotonous bits most of the time.

    Ben, depending on where you are roadtripping, setting it to 100% might be a mistake in terms of total trip time given the way the battery charge rate slows as it approaches full. More charging stops, with shorting charging times may be optimal for total travel time. Setting at 100% might impact the route planning algorithm.

    Actually, It's recommended you cycle the battery between 40-60% even on a daily basis if possible. I charge mine to 70% if it's warmer than 42F (5C) and 80% if it's colder than that. I use about 25-30% battery every day. The difference between cycling the battery between 50-80% and 40-70% is 2-3% degradation at 200k miles. I like to have a decent buffer for safety and unplanned trips and can't be bothered to constantly change my charge limit. But the general consensus is:
    1. Plugging in all the time is a good thing
    2. Cycling between 20-50% is much better than 50-80% even though you're using the same percentage of battery. Packs handle being discharged better than being charged.
    2.5 If you've charged to 70% and then used up 20%, it's better to plug in and charge back to 70% than to leave it one more day and discharge to 30% before cycling the battery. Small cycles in the middle of the pack!
    3. Keep the battery percentage close to 50% at all times, for example - charge to 70% at night, arrive to work with 55%, come home with 40% and let the car sit plugged in till it's charged again at night.
    4. Don't stress a cold battery - drive in CHILL mode during winter months unless you've managed to heat it up with normal driving to where it'll give you the full regen. Then it's warm enough to safely provide the full power without strain..
    5. If you have a car plugged in over night and it's cold, preheat the battery before you drive. 30 minutes is a good estimate.
    6. Don't discharge below 10% on a daily basis.
    7. Don't supercharge. At all if possible. Home 11kW (3x 230V x 16A EU) or 7kW (single phase 230V x 32A US (honestly idk how you guys have it, I just assume lol) is plenty. Supercharge only for road trips and if possible, only use the bottom part of the pack - 15-70%.
    You don't have to do all of this, it might seem like such a chore.. but really, most of these are just set and forget and won't hinder your experience. But the difference between you doing this and not could be as much as 5-7% degradation difference at 120k miles. Tesla only claims the battery will give you at least 70% of rated capacity at 120k miles, and people usually get somewhere around 87% with the worse part of the graph in low 80s and the better part in low 90s. Packs don't age linearly and will loose the first 15% faster than the next 5%. You can delay the first 15% with gentle use.
