    Static shock

    The static that builds up on her will include her hair. Everyhithing (hair and body) has the same charge, so the hair strands are being repelled (from her body and from each other). This is exactly the same as when I demonstrate the VdG generator at school. There is nothing attracting, it is...

    [UK] 2021.12.x

    Got 2021.12.25.7 this morning. Now I have a “Software Update Required - Contact Tesla Service” (APS_w132) error and now have no autopilot/cruise control. Tried resets and power cycles - no joy. Have booked it via Tesla App for a mobile service visit (earliest date was in a fortnight). But...

    Model 3 Roof Rack - Farad Pro Square Roof Bars

    I did get that at first, until I realised the longer 2 bolts were for the front bar (as that has bigger rubber feet). I didn’t see that in the instructions. It was only after fitting the back bar with one long and one short bolt, I realised what I’d done. The two from feet also have the twisted...

    Model 3 Roof Rack - Farad Pro Square Roof Bars

    The is a small gap between the rubber feet and the glass (though one of feet does touch at the edge, that might be because I haven’t pushed it far enough on to the plastic leg)

    Model 3 Roof Rack - Farad Pro Square Roof Bars

    I just bought a set of these… arrived today, so not been for a trial run. So far I’ve only fitted them so I could adjust the “legs” to the right position (as the bars, “legs” and rubber “feet” are separate parts of a kit. Putting it all together and mounting on the roof didn’t take long (about...

    Poll - 14 day EAP trial!

    Assuming you didn’t order it, I would guess you’ve been given the free trial. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/poll-14-day-eap-trial.223053/

    LFP battery, charge to 100% each night?

    I have charged my MIC LFP SR+ to 100% each charge (weekly so far as not driving much). Each time I have still had regen, even at the start of my 3 mile “commute”. I have seen the ”reduced regen” warning, but I still had that this morning and again this afternoon when I started with a 75% SoC on...

    Vibration/juddering at motorway speed Model 3 2021 facelift

    Would that not suggest the issue is the foam inside the tyres. If the wheel can be balanced on the machine (which spins smoothly) but when driven the vibration returns, that suggests something has shifted again since the balancing. The most obvious thing I can think of is the sound insulating...

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    I’ve noticed every time I go on (to see if the U.K. has had a price drop like USA recently did) I get the business rates coming up at first, so have to change it back to personal each time.

    Tesla Model 3 and speed limit signs

    I was initially worried... but those surveys are based on 3 year old cars. Tesla admit they had production issues - it was the first time they had done a “mass production” car. They were building in a factory that wasn’t designed by them. Tesla eventually set up a production line in a “tent” so...

    2021 Shipping Movements

    So... Morning Capo is off to Southampton after all. I guess my 13th of March delivery may not have arrived in the U.K. when I thought. VIN number was in the range in an earlier post, but I guess they could have been split between ships.

    2021 Shipping Movements

    I just searched Southampton Webcam on YouTube Unfortunately, the only webcams I could find were at the ferry terminal. So caught the ship passing by but nothing else. There used to be one at the cruise terminal - which just happens to be berth 106 - having joined many cruises from the...

    I can’t believe I’m spending my half-term holiday watching Southampton port webcams.

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    Don’t worry... my bank said the details couldn’t be checked, so might be fraud. But I emailed a pdf of the receipt to Tesla, as instructed on the website, and a few days late my Tesla account had been updated to show the payment was received.

    Have your say: The consumer experience at public chargepoints

    Tesla model 3 slides on sloppy roads in parked position in London snow?

    We only had 1-2 cm of snow around here... but the very first snow that fell had melted as it hit the ground. As further snow fell, this wet layer froze, so even my flat path & drive was an ice rink. Fortunately, my car hadn't been moved - so the ice/snow wasn't under the tyres. But I did...

    2021 Shipping Movements

    This morning I've been allocated a car, but no VIN assigned. So I guess that means my SR+ is on the Morning Cello?

    I just ordered an ID4

    I had been conflicted between the Model 3 and the ID.3 and 4. Loved the Model 3 test drive. Gave me the car, said go drive. I said how long do I have, they said “officially 45 mins” but don’t worry about it. Birmingham-St Andrew’s were excellent. Friendly, but not pushy. I test drove the ID.3...
