A neat video. I'm not surprised by any of it as the camera is IR, so many of the 'challenges' shown wouldn't be a big deal.

Do you have to lean in close like that?

No

How far can you be in order for the face recognition to work?

I am 6 feet tal and Stan straight and it can read my face just ok. Unlike some videos on YouTube , you don’t need to slouch forward. It never failed me. However, the fingerprint reader is a bit more fussy. And can luck out for 1-3-5 minutes if the finger is not put properly on the reader

You might want to try reprogramming your print. I agree the fingerprint reader can take a couple attempts before you're recognized, but I've never had it fail so much that it has timed out.

I haven't really tried to test the range, but when I use it, I stand as I would to normally open the door, so I'm standing a couple feet from the door, and not slouching. The only thing I really do, it make sure I'm looking at the camera.

It's certainly an interesting bit of tech, I don't understand why yet again, the UK and the rest of Europe (I believe) miss out on this.

European customers felling a bit like the relatives that you invite to Christmas, but you don't really want there

After a few days of using face / fingerprint authentication my fingerprint started getting rejected (with increasing timeouts between tries). I've been driving without a key since day one so this isn't something I just set up. At the same time, the touch to open the charging port would also not work and I had to use the key for that as well. Face still works to unlock the car. Anyone else?

I'm gong back to a key until I develop more confidence in this actually working 100% of the time.

So the trick with this one is that it's not actually a touch surface on the charge door - you're actually pushing the charge door into the button that's underneath (the one you use to close the charge door when it's open).

Awesome. Thanks!

I have a 100% success rate on unlocking the door with face recognition but the problem (for me at least) is the fingerprint to start the car. I almost have less than 50% success so far... not sure if it was the placement of my finger or the amount of pressure on the reader that I put on. I almost never just drive the car out without a key...

After trying different things, it seems like it is the lightest of touch/pressure to make it work more consistently. Much different than using fingerprint authentication on my phone or laptop.

I will give it a try next time around and see if this will improve the reading of fingerprint.
