    Wow. Even your bumper picks up cones ;) What option is that? Ours just picks up yellow pollen and dirt. I think that was the finely streaked dirt option.

    [UK] 2024.14.x

    As long as it works properly and is properly featured in the first place I am sure many people will accept that. It’s when features are either not or only partially complete or do not work properly it becomes a problem. Yea, I’ve added bits to cars in the past, even completely rebuilt them...

    [UK] 2024.14.x

    Yep. Some (often the same) Guinea Pigs just yet early versions then when things stabilise it gets rolled out to more and more, irrespective of standard/advanced setting. It’s often that the early Guinea pigs actually get the final version a fraction later than main rollout. Then Tesla spin the...

    Buying a Model 3 prioritise age or mileage?

    Basic warranty is 4/years or 50k miles. So potentially quite close to car you are considering. Battery (drivetrain?) is longer but model dependent, but longer/further than you are considering.

    Wheel alignment cost at SC

    Our warranty cost, ie no charge, would have been 1.92 hours at £165/hr I’m guessing that included a T break or two, or doubled up on manpower especially since with that and other work undertaken, they charged for more hours than car was on site…

    Front lower control arm replacement

    How can it possibly cost £260 to diagnose the issue? I would question that. Ours would have taken a few seconds for Cleevly to visually check as would an MOT tester. In the end we got ours done under warranty but Cleevely would had done it for us if Tesla had rejected the warranty fix. This is...

    Does anything need to be changed software side to enable a DIY added OEM trailer wiring module for Model 3?

    I suspect the bits might be too heavy (although we had wheels delivered on a pallet), but Tesla will (use to at least) do delivery at around £7.xx - doesn’t answer your question but may be worth asking if they deliver.

    Is TMC really slow at the moment?

    Within 20 minutes of posting everything back ok. Nothing changed at this end. I’ll monitor and if it does again I’ll check on a different device. Already seen slow behaviour on 2 different networks, one copper broadband/WiFi and the other 5G, so it’s not that.

    Is TMC really slow at the moment?

    I’m finding TMC really slow last few days, at least here in UK just in case it’s a time based resource limitation. Taking many many seconds, tens of seconds even to load even basic content. Whilst loading an animated thin red bar cycles at top of page. Also the occasional browser reported...

    Wheel alignment cost at SC

    Ours was under warranty but we did get a cost breakdown- iirc it was some multiple of their hourly cost so likely to be quite different to a garage using a different charging structure. I recall at the time being thankful we didn’t have to pay for it. It wasn’t a thing that I thought needed to...

    [UK] 2024.14.x

    TeslaFi has always had the option to treat offline as standby and a couple of other bits of functionality triggered when car goes offline such as sending an email when car is offline which is unfortunately pretty useless now. But I do suspect it’s not a simple resolution to the issue as if the...

    Wheel alignment cost at SC

    I’ll double check our paperwork later but I think it may even be on site. Certainly no evidence of our car moving more than 1/4 mile away from site whilst it was in for a couple of afternoon jobs incl. front lower suspension arms which I guess triggered the 4 wheel alignment. Not sure what the...

    Any changes in AP behaviour may start to give some indication of how much, if any, of the new FSD stack is likely to be being used in regular UK AP.

    carbon fiber rear spoiler deterioration

    That so called ‘forged carbon fiber’, is a type of SMC where a compression moulded material is strengthened with short random strands of another material, ie carbon. It’s very different to properly laid carbon and sounds like it will give a very different look to ‘proper carbon’, at least what...

    carbon fiber rear spoiler deterioration

    I just spoke to my son and showed him your pic and the pics from the other thread. Caveat, carbon fibre he works on is polished resin. Lacquered finish is used in rare scenarios, such as small parts. First comment. Buy another one… Failing that… Irrespective it must be removed. Carbon fibre...

    carbon fiber rear spoiler deterioration

    My son qualified to work on real carbon fibre. I’ve not asked his input yet, but from everything I have heard him say about it is, DO NOT RUB IT DOWN. When he works on it, it sounds like he has to get suited up in special suits and use specialist down extractors that suck the dust down...

    Charging a cupra born on an old tesla wallbox

    I,ve not done it myself but if it’s Gen 2, I believe it’s the much glossed over switch position 2 in the image and link below. You need to be careful of the ribbon cable when removing the front. That said, on another similar thread, there is some evidence that a running change was made to the...

    Tesla Enhanced AutoPilot, when is AutoPark available in UK?

    More than just a ‘bit of code’ I suspect. Park assist is iirc based on the occupancy network that has been around for quite some time now in GA. Autopark probably needs the NNs from FSD 12. So until main GA code comes bundled with FSD 12 core, I suspect auto park is going to be short of more...

    Having been invited to signup by Octopus, I signed up for interest at least a year ago and was told to wait. I’m still waiting. Also remember that you do not have to take electricity and gas from the same supplier. Some suppliers give so called dual fuel discounts (I don’t believe Octopus...

    Tesla Enhanced AutoPilot, when is AutoPark available in UK?

    Auto park and park assist are not the same. Auto park is the EAP/FSD feature for the car parking itself, or attempting to if it sees a suitable space. This has always been available for USS equipped EAP/FSD vehicles- albeit with it actually offering a space always being an uncommon occurrence...

    Mp3 stuck at 16 amp charging after using public charger

    Looks from the screen shot, as car is plugged in, that charge point is only offering max 16A. This is communicated from the charge point to the car using the pilot pin. If car is not plugged in then I believe it will show max 16A. Also worth stating that charge current is location aware, so...

    A search for something like “chinese autonomous startups” is a good starting point. As well as startups, there are also some better known names. Several large western vehicle manufacturers are investing in some of these companies. The sector is so fast paced that every month something big seems...

    They wouldn’t pay a Jiao for FSD. By all accounts, there are several Chinese FSD products with similar, if not better performance and human interaction than Tesla’s offering. And more importantly, they all have access to full lane level Chinese mapping data where as Tesla have only recently...

    Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) Retrofit

    It probably does but is very subtle. Park close to a wall with the window down, select drive and you should hear it making a noise. It’s not the same noise and not as loud but it should be there. Is it loud enough? Maybe. I was walking down a road and could hear a car slowly following me...

    Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) Retrofit

    The light bleed is nowhere near as obvious as it first was. It was originally a very obvious amber cast, but since camera colours have been made more human friendly, the amber cast has gone and it’s a much less obvious white/light shadow.

    That would meet the recall if the harness was not showing signs of damage. HOWEVER, if that is the section of the harness that has failed (I would ask to see the original harness) then I would argue that either the harness should have been originally replaced as it was likely already...

    Boot opening

    There were 2 versions of the recall, depending on the state of the harness. If the harness was showing signs of damage, it was replaced which is what I think @Durzel posted. If there was no damage, the harness should have been modified to prevent future damage. This I believe is a simple cover...

    I believe the recall was done in stages, possibly as a result of parts supply. Our car had the recall notification but were told that it would be addressed only after we were notified. It took a long time between that message and having the job done - as part of other work. @Pagemakers can you...

    Did Tesla design cars to be able to take a range extender just incase?

    I have a solution if you wanted to cut out the big heavy battery for storage… Even works as a replacement to motor boats. Totally free energy for propulsion. Might even be able to adapt it for flight, although not strictly wind powered.

    Apparently not. A recent comparison /test of several Chinese solutions, including by people well versed in autonomy solutions with no bias, apparently showed that the Chinese versions were far more capable than Teslas offering. And tbh, EV efficiency isn’t really a useful benchmark as long as...
