switching off after getting home

[Ivory]

hi odd question but how do i ‘switch everything off’ when i get home? i dont like the idea of leaving all visuals on when i get out of the car

If the Cyberster is anything like the MG4, you don't.

You get out, and lock the car, which then turns everything off. You get used to it.

Centre console, slide down from the top, power off. But if you do that the chair won't slide back for easy exit/entrance!
So just lock with the remote and watch the mirrors go in.

If charging the car at a public place, then I also have to check the phone to make sure the car is indeed locked.

I find the method of simply turning the car off not well thought-out. Using the center console screen seems simply odd. At home I get out and I hit the key FOB "twice" as I want the car off but not locked. Odd. (but not a big deal) The charging sequence is another matter for another post. I have my car washed regularly at a professional competent detail shop. I taught the owner all the steps including operating the doors. But if he is not available it's a class all over again. With apparently not much mental cognition. The guys drive the car to the 'wash bay' and simply get out and wash the car. (It's still on) They then drive the car to the 'dry and detail bay' and once again get out and do their work. (car still on) Usually the car remains on for 30-45 minutes. Not a big deal I suppose. A funny observation is if a car is being detailed next to mine the movement of people (even a good distance away) means the doors won't readily open. The worker stands there (in the proper position) pushing the door button watching it go up and down a few inches and gets frustrated. (But thats a different matter as I love the scissors doors!) In my Tesla I simply put in park, get out and close the door,,,,the car shuts off. Done. I walk away and the car locks. Done. Unless I'm at home and I can choose a setting to not lock when at home location. Not much easier than that. I do nothing. And of course the "driver profile" settings remain selected upon restart. Brilliant software. Many other software issues with the Cyberster,,,too many to go into. Numerous bugs too aside from overall user interface. I'm puzzled why these "bugs" aren't addressed in OTA updates. The car overall however I dearly love! The Cyberster developers clearly haven't driven a Tesla with regards software design and user interface.

Agreed, can't be much more simpler than that. Don't over think it. If it's the same as the MG4, and it probably is.

Tesla is a software company that happen to make cars, so you would expect their software to be market leading.

I do not know if you realized after closing your driver door you can switch (power) off the car by pressing the door opening button for about 2 - 3 seconds, no need to take out the key for switching OFF the car.
