Drop a pin, then drive there

I learned a new Tesla trick today (thanks to Hugh Sykes): long press on the map (hold your finger down for a few seconds) and it drops a pin. Tap the pin, and you can make it your destination.
That was very useful today. Our villa is in a big complex, and entering the unit and street address sent us to the other end of it. With a pin dropped on the villa itself, Full Self-Driving took us right to it.
It also got us to the Woolworths Direct to Boot parking at Erina Fair. The shopping centre address only gets you to the shopping centre, which has a lot of car parks. A pin on the Direct to Boot bays took us straight there, and our groceries came out to Bay 5. And, yes, we turned off our “engine” as requested.
What other hidden Tesla tricks should we know about?
