My mom is doing pretty well with it. Overload when we picked it up and they got the intro tour. Dad is pretty good with the iPad and iPhone, so he's figuring things out. I think my dad goes over two or three items in the car when they drive it. Little bits of info. That said, the seats work like any other power seat, you just have a couple extra steps to set up the "driver info". Once it's set up, just tap the little person icon on the top of the screen and select the driver.

The downside at the moment to the key fob is that when in your own garage, the car locks itself and if you need to quickly grab something from the car, you have to get the fob. Tesla needs to build in a better "home" feature, where you can set the car not to lock the doors when at home if you choose. The way around it for the moment is to create a spare "driver" and in that profile, set the car not to lock itself. You just have to remember to select your profile when driving around town. I suppose you can set the seat way far back as a reminder.

Since the car is 3G enabled, you can tune Internet radio stations from around the world. I've been listening to a station out of Bremen, Germany for the past couple of days.

The climate controls are 99% intuitive and pretty much look (without actual knobs) and feel (layout) like any other high end car's climate system. The only thing I can't figure out, is how to set it to recirculate.
