Default Just discovered that I could...

Was curious if anyone else has discovered features of their car that maybe weren’t immediately obvious to them until weeks or months after they took delivery.. I continue to find little things here and there, but tonight I just discovered that I had footwell lighting, and how to adjust the brightness of them (since it seems to default to all the way down) as well as the brightness of the door panel and cup holder lights individually — never saw the little + appear to the right on the interior lighting brightness adjustment screen.

Not with Premium+ I can’t.

You can touch the outside door handle on the drivers door (once it is closed) even if the passenger door is still open. Once the passenger closes their door the car will lock the doors and give you the confirmation chirp.

Ahhh. And here I was waiting for the last person to close the door.

Yes. I usually lock the doors, kick the trunk open, remove what I need, close the trunk and hear the reassuring chirp.

Thanks - I just found the individual settings... my foot well lights were set to zero. Can't wait for darkness tonight

I recently found that when in classic view on the VC you can add an additional display inside the tach on the left side. So I can have tach with short term gas milage+meter inside along with map in the center and speedometer on the right. When navigating, turn-by-turn pops up inside speedometer. I'm gonna leave it like this for a while to see if I like it better than the sport mode.
