Just so cool, ain't it

I need one of these!!

New software update on Friday.

 

Now have the summon feature.

Is that for getting it out of a garage or tight space or such, can it steer while in that mode?

Pretty much yes, it auto steers to avoid obstacles using the sensors etc...

Only goes at walking pace for obvious reasons.

Where does it "summon" to? Would it follow you if you walked away? How far can you summon it from?

 

You could have a game of "What's the time Mr Wolf" - that could all go horribly wrong at "dinner time"!

You control it though your mobile.

The car will work as long as the key is within range.

 

The main idea behind it is going the car in or out of a garage, or parking space when people park to close.

Although there are obviously messing about opportunities.

 

The front and rear sensors and side sonar stops it from running you over.

^^ Always a bonus that! LOL.

"Summon feature"

 

Given that, apparently, remote start is not legal in the UK, how does this fare legally?

 

I like it though....how far will it go? What's the activation range?

So if you put they to the side of your head you can double the range!!

how do you "start" an electric motor ?

Clarkson style! lol.

LOL:Tesla being fined in Singapore for excessive EMISSIONS!

all it needs now is voice activation through a smart watch

"KITT - come and get me !"

I have to say I love the colour of the car in the sunlight MB have come out with a similar colour (which I saw recently on  C class coupe) and it is stunning

Does look good on the Tesla,, called Brilliant Blue on the Merc, one of the more popular choices for the new C class..

And the facelift is out:

 

 

 

 

I think it is right that an engine-less car should not have a grille out front.

 

But after the ire the Model 3's nose got (http://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/13/fixing-the-face-of-the-tesla-model-3/) perhaps stickers for this will perhaps also become big business!

 

 

From: http://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/12/tesla-model-s-finally-gets-a-facelift/

Facelift, couple of extra things like a centre console and a price rise of £4000 to £5,000.

More pics here:

Including the centre console Richard mentioned:

 

Woohoo.

Having placed the order end March because of the announced price increases on 1st April, they were postponed.

 

Until yesterday where they also revealed the facelift.

 

I've since had a confirmation email from Tesla that mine will be built with the new nose, new LED headlights, HEPA filtering, etc, but they'll honour the previous price.

 

Having worked out speccing the same car today, I've saved £5,100

Mario-Kart mode!!!! Epic if it's for real

Richard, fancy confirming? I'm a few months away from being able to do that

...and you know you want to

...and you know you want to

I'm not planning on changing or cancelling. I've decided to treat myself to a crazy car. Sensible mid life crisis hit a few years early

There's rumour and a post regarding a post ludicrous performance update.

I just meant you know you want to play with the Mario Kart feature if it's for real. Who wouldn't?   Maybe BMW could add a Hungry Hippo feature?

Richard, are you going to one of the clubhouse events? I've registered for the one on Sunday 24th next to Heathrow. Tesla phoned me up yesterday saying they had over 100 registrations so have split the day in two parts - I'm going to the afternoon one.

 

Model X will be there for all to see too

 

I don't know if it's an American thing, but I do like how the model numbers are really considered "names" and not "models" - they don't use (in)definite articles. They'll always say "This is Model S" or "What do you think of Model X?". "Model 3 was a great success at reveal". Not "This is the Model S"
