“My vehicle does not have a horn in the center. It is a button. Elon Musk told the public over and over they all had a center horn that just wasn’t activated yet, that would enable it in a future software update and that was a lie. This button horn on the right hand side never functions when needed. There is no “cover the entire right side” with your hand to make it honk when you’re quickly reacting to a safety hazard. It sets off the wipers usually without even honking. I don’t mind the weird turn signals, but this needs to be fixed. …”

I have no idea somehow, the front driver side door suddenly opened when I approached to my car about 4-5 feet away from the trunk, even though I did not pressed any door open button in my Tesla smartphone app. As a result, the opened door had collided to the LA Metro bus backdoor. …”
