September 13, 2016 - An innocent trip into the city to do a little baby-sitting. First let's buy two salads for lunch at McDonalds (9:00 AM), but obviously they don't sell salads this early in the morning. Need to find an alternative. But...
All of a suden our wonderful 17" display monitor went black. The motors are still running and the central dash speed dispay is still registering. Time to call Tesla service. John at service seemed non-plused and said we probably needed to reset the computer. A simple task, but one that requires the car in Park. Find the nearest gasoline oasis (don't really stop here anymore), and perform the reset. [push both roller switches on the steering wheel momentarily until the Tesla T appears. About 30 seconds later, we were ready to go on. At least it was not the "blue screen of death".
The Tesla forum reports that a manual computer reset may be required periodically. Normally the car will reset automatically. The drive action of the auto is functional even without the display - nice to know.
Arrived for baby-sitting about 30 minutes late (traffic delays on the Kennedy) in one piece and a bit smarter.
