4. Homelink connectivity for garage door auto-open ($300 option today)
5. Full Self-Driving already paid for (eligible for free Hardware 3 upgrade)

FYI, last I heard, it's still possible to order a LR RWD (as well as the SR- version), but you have to do so over the phone rather than using the website. But yes, the LR RWD version of the car is one of the best values, and this one looks very clean!

@theishu, love your car, and thanks for posting the details. I really like your mention of all the things offered early on and not available, special order, or extra cost on today’s versions. It reminded me how much I like my car of 06/18 build with the same advantages as yours, just in black. If the car’s annoying phantom braking hadn’t made the family CFO swear off Teslas, I’d love to have approached you with an offer. But that would be a divorce-invoking move and not at all in my best interests. Good luck with selling this beauty!

Tell me more abt the phantom braking phenomenon. I haven’t encountered it except maybe once on autopilot (unless you and I are talking abt different things). I assumed it was a massive nudge because I wasn’t paying attention to the “hold the wheel” alerts.

Lots of threads on lots of fora about phantom braking but it’s a TACC sensitivity to things that a human would not react to. It senses something and slows the car, frequently very harshly. It used to happen when encountering an overpass and most of that has been resolved. Now, for me, it happens with no cause we’ve been able to discern. Passengers are surprised when it occurs, and for at least one very important passenger it scares her. So I don’t use TACC with her in the car which is most of the time.

Good to know - thanks for the explainer! Gladly I haven't had it happen to me, but maybe it got fixed before I tried it, like you said.

Can you explain #3? I thought this was always the case. I purchased my car in Sept 2018 and I believed this to be true back then (I most definitely could be wrong). What year is this vehicle?

Good read for info here https://www.tesla.com/support/frequently-asked-questions-connectivity

Premium connectivity is free for life for vehicles ordered before July 2018. Free for a year for cars with premium connectivity ordered after that. Expected to be $100/year if Tesla ever gets around to it.
