I guess unfortunately you're in the vast minority, i'd bet 90% or more of people simply don't care, as long as the car is all the same colour and you can't see through any bits then it's A OK for them.

No orange peal here that I can see.
That said they did make a **** up of my boot lid and it's booked into the body shop next month to get looked at.

Dropped the car in today to have a few delivery issues fixed (including fitting of homelink)
Quite a slick process, they take photos of everything as they check it in which is reassuring. One thing is there is no option to request a courtesy car, so I presumed they did it automatically - you are supposed to put it in the notes in you need one.
Still, they gave me a Model S without missing a beat, the person checking me in said normally they set you up with a paid for Uber account which I’ve never seen a manufacturer do before, for a London based customer (which I’m not) it seems like a perfect solution, nice idea.

model 3 is the ugliest of the bunch. I never thought the model s looked that nice either but I do quite like the way the Model X looks.

Looks like I received the v10 software update last night just as I was about to Drop of to sleep. Might have helped that I made sure the car had a decent wireless connection and was plugged in. Also checked a couple settings and removed the USB stick to definitely disable Sentry mode. Maybe it worked or it was just pure coincidence.
Out of all the added features I reckon window "Vent" will be used most in summer as I like to crack the windows open when it's hot. I used my 3/4 cover from my i3 a couple of times while it was hot and that's works great to reduce temps and protect the screen but I need a better tailored one.

netflix in the car is just ridiculous....School pickups will be so much more fun!!
v10 ready to install but i wanted to go to work so its gunna have to wait. The entire console crashed on the way into work though so that was nice. It was screeching the sound of the song that was playing and became totally unresponsive. Not amazed tbh. Holding both steering wheel buttons down resets it for anyone that cares.

Very software driven so it's going to happen unfortunately. So far I've only had one instance of the rear camera going black but it was also sat directly in the sun on a very hot day. Selected P and back to R and it came back online.
I think think was a v10 addition but the "Dashcam" is recording the rear camera as well now. Silly but re-watching a traffic light Grand Prix was amusing.

** EDIT ** So there is a phone app that can do this: TeslaCam / Sentry Reviewer
If you want to stitch your videos together I'm not sure if there's a specific program with a GUI but this Python based utility can do this. Lots of potential parameters.
v0.1.15 required for the latest v10 update with rear camera.

Simple command to create a combined 4 to 1 video in the same directory as source. I just copied 1 segment of 4 to the directory to keep this simple.
c:\tesla_dashcam\tesla_dashcam.exe source c:\teslavideo --layout DIAMOND --output c:\teslavideo
The video timing is a bit off but that's a Tesla thing I believe could be adjusted but I can't be arsed as it's good enough for me

Of course - its not detracting from the smiles per mile
Installed v10 last night, went smoothly. Was hoping they would offer more customisation of both Spotify and TuneIn interfaces but sadly not. If you set up folders of playlists in Spotify desktop it just expands them out into one flat view, making it a job to scroll through. Would also be nice to be able to have a 'detail' view to get more on screen.
TuneIn has an annoying issue too. For example, i want to listen to the Athletico Mince podcast, but it only goes back to episode 49.....cant view anything older. Kind of a show stopper.
Voice commands work really well though.
that's what I did.

Please check but I believe the premium connection gets updates on LTE/Wifi and standard connection i.e. SR+ may only get safety and critical updates over LTE.

Not sure if it's changed on the newer cars, but it used to be that the car would upgrade just fine without Wifi, just that wifi would sometimes mean you would get it quicker.
