Interesting article in Autocar on this with an EV9 where it emergency braked out of the blue. This mirrors my experience on a Lotus Eletre and is a common known fault with their software also, not sure they've fixed this yet. Basically in that car had it a couple of times but say you are...

Not sure it was even a cost cutting measure but more to make a tyre suitable for higher speeds means changes that increase rolling resistance. So by lowering the top speed, they could also put on tyres that reduce the rolling resistance. It’s all about efficiency I think but if it saves them...

Tesla has a ton of safety features and most of what the law is telling them must be standard, they’ve already had standard for a long time. They don’t talk about it as much but it’s there. Also the games are important, not for people like me and you but for families with younger kids. It helps...

It’s not about what Tesla can or cannot do, it’s about the law. And yes I’ve had cars with a speed limit chime going back earlier, the difference is it will turn on automatically on each drive. If you don’t like it, you have to turn it off each time. It’s not allowed to remember you don’t want...

I don’t know what they will do of course but I can imagine it annoying people to get some of this retroactively added to their old cars. I think all of the safety aspects, Tesla’s have already had. It’s just the parts that annoy you and everyone turns off straight away you don’t yet have. It’s...

Just needs someone to go and set their alarm of then to test it ;) We don’t have premium connectivity on our car though but will have it on my new one I pick up next Sat.

Still on the 8th, next Saturday to collect.

They already do as Highlands have a slightly different interface than pre-highland. Don't know if they are doing this on Model Y also but this covers the ability to quickly turn on and off speed warning chimes.

Yeah but you’ve already brought your car, Tesla doesn’t have to retro fit so to speak this functionality to your car. I mean they can as we know and you’ll get the safety improvements but I suspect any enforced automatic bongs and chimes they won’t push to old cars.

It is annoying when UK phone networks drop calls just before our wives are about to say “Ah thanks for filling me in on all of that. You’re the best hubbie ever, love you so much.” Always seem to get cut off before that bit comes 😂

Requirement for new cars, not old cars is it not? This is part why Highland cars have or had a speed chime that automatically turns on every time you start the car. Though in the UK they aren’t doing this as I think legally it’s not required here since we left the EU in the same way. My Lotus...

I did wonder about Climate and Nav. I saw one source mention Tesla added it for new cars that ship these will be default icons down the bottom. I guess maybe they get some people that don't realise or maybe just don't like swiping down another app so they give an icon for it. Similar I guess...

OK fair enough. I imagine you’ll need a long wheel base 7 series / S class kind of length car then for people to be comfortable behind you. Guess my point was more the Model 3 is similar lengths to BMW 5 series from a while ago. It’s about as big as you want to go in this country and still be...

That's really impressive, thanks for sharing.

This would be lovely. So you have something covering up the map then show a smaller map on the right by shrinking the car visualisations. Once the app is closed it moves back to the normal place.
