It really is a thing, especially at first. The tech in the car is very apt at making sure you don't run out of range though. It even takes into account windspeed and hills along your route when you use navigation.

The glitches can be a little concerning. There are also so many settings in the UI that you as the driver might not fully understand. I changed a setting that was supposed to allow unlocking of all the doors with a double press of the interior driver's door button. I didn't understand that this kept all the doors but the driver's locked when you approach the car. This was minor but they didn't fully explain the feature in the software release notes.

Lol, I've noticed children, especially, are fascinated by this car. It also attracts not so great attention from adults due to Elon's recent political leanings.
