This isn’t the first time we talk about this, but I think the first time Elon tweeted about it wasn’t out yet. If you press on the right side of the Yoke, not directly aiming at the honk button, the car detects it and hoks as well. Good addition.
Many refreshed S and X owners have complained about the horn and how difficult it was to activate it during an emergency (although you can smash the right side as the video above shows). This is changing for newer owners, all owners of refreshed S and X made after November will be able to just push the center for horn, Tesla just needs to send the update.
Feynlab’s DIY products follow a regimen: Preparation, Protection, Maintenance. First Prepare the paint by washing with Pure Wash, followed by Panel Prep to remove any residual oil or contaminants. Then Protect your Tesla using Ceramic Lite - the easiest coating to apply.

We’ve seen some reports about the 12 V li-Ion batteries failing when the vehicle’s main battery was at a low stage of charge. Seems that this problem is only happening with the cars that carry LFP batteries, the batteries weren’t well-calibrated and the car thought it had some energy left when it didn’t. To solve this, Tesla is raising the charging limit in those cars to 100% and is asking owners to charge it completely to calibrate the battery.
