    Failed (2nd) battery 700 miles out of warranty.

    I have heard of house alarm fitters using circuitry to fail the alarm just after warranty. But would doubt Tesla would be that stupid.

    Replacement battery question?

    I may be late to this party, but I am looking at a replacement battery. The word I am coming up against is ‘Tolerance’ this is a range with a lower and upper measurement being within tolerance and so acceptable. You may find that your battery was at the upper end of the tolerance range and the...

    LFP batteries offered for warranty replacements

    Seems my M3P needs battery replaced. I would take a LFP battery in a second if offered. I changed my tennis ball machine battery to LFP, and has totally transformed it positively!!!

    Are tesla replacement batteries any good?

    Probably the only thing new, is that it is new to your car. Tesla replace with batteries with factory refurbished, or possibly brand new. Look to the performance of the battery, relative to WLTP figures. If your happy then all good.

    Wiki [UK] V11 UI Changes and Features

    Back to the blind spot! For me it is wonderful. 12 days into owning a Tesla I can say i have not as yet found a good seating position and need the camera to help me see. The B pillar is so large and I am thankful for this change. Positionally it is wrong. A few seconds in the top left of the...

    Wiki [UK] V11 UI Changes and Features

    New update apart from the silly stuff, I do like the blind spot camera. But I really would like the window in a different position or have the ability to move it (which I have not tried so forgive if you can). Bottom right is probably for the left hand drive cars rather than UK cars.

    Tesla V5C arrived over the weekend, tax refund arrived today from DVLA. So all really quick, 5 days. Envelope with cheque looks a bit like a circular letter! Almost junked it, then I saw SA99 on the back. Don’t forget to end any warranties you have on old vehicle.

    I ordered on the 8th October. I ordered it on the 8th October. I have a Spotify account so happy to use that in the car. Voice control makes life easy for music selection. The car is so fast, too fast for other drivers. I think they see nothing special, and drive accordingly.

    I have only just noticed the new cluster on the road, in that last few weeks. I just assumed there would be a clean cut and I would receive a car with new cluster.

    Hang on no USB interfaces, does this mean Sentry mode has no way to store video? If so this is a spectacular omission.
