Bonnie just had the opportunity of experiencing the new tool that Tesla is testing out to fix the yellow border problem - this is a somewat common problem for MX and MS. According to her, not all centers have the tool and it seems her SC got it just temporaly. As you can see in the pictures, it worked like a charm for her.

The Tesla Model 3 just achieved one of the highest Safety Assist scores the Euro NCAP has seen to date. I have to warn you that this video can hurt sensibilities (a bunch of Model 3s were harmed during these tests). IMHO the most impressive part is after minute 2, where it shows how the car avoids colisions. As Elon said, “the best crash safety system is not crashing in the first place”.
Elon Musk has said many times that his goal is to make a Tesla the most fun you could possibly have in a car. In other to achieve that, Tesla recently released improvements into their sketchpad app as well as a new racing game. Elon has also said on Twitter they will be releasing an app to tweak music and another one for car karaoke, woot?!

Tesla has officially announced that their service centers and their mobile service are now offering minor collision repairs.

We actually recently had to replace our fender and bumper after hitting a pole getting out of a parking space, here you can read more about it.
Good summary about the new goodies in the new 2019 Tesla Model S (Raven). Even though I’d recommend you to skip to 1:30 and to ignore the comments about how outdated the interior looks, I still think it’s a good video about the new features added to the car.
Tesla released this week their third revision of Smart Summon, this time the improvement is what they call ‘Standby Mode’, according to Electrek the goal of Standby Summon is for the car to start moving much faster once the owner starts summoing their car, to achive that Standby Summon keeps keep sensors, cameras, and computers powered, this would create extra battery drain, although I’m not sure it is going to be more that what Sentry mode would actually consume.
