    Reduced alert signal volume with 2023.26.7

    Apart from a couple of reboots and a repush of the firmware there has been no fix on this for me. My Frunk seems to have jammed though and there is a Bulletin against it to get it fixed so when I take the car in I'll talk to a real person about it

    Reduced alert signal volume with 2023.26.7

    Just had a tech from Tesla suggest "Gateway reboot" by changing the language of the display and then changing it back again. No joy, so now waiting on a firmware update. It's weird not having indicator clicks

    Reduced alert signal volume with 2023.26.7

    Yes, although it is the speakers, in my Model S after the update, the GPS and indicator noise only comes from the centre speaker not the doors and is very quiet for the GPS and barely audible for the indicators. I've raised a service request.

    Navigation Audio Speaker

    Interesting, mine is the other way up, sounds like it is coming from the centre of the windscreen

    Navigation Audio Speaker

    Mine used to come from the speakers around the driver so it was less disturbing for the passengers, now it is just one speaker and not loud enough :(

    Navigation Audio Speaker

    I've just found this thread, I have the same problem, what's worse is the indicator ticking seems to no longer be working or be REALLY quiet on the centre speaker. I've raised a service request to see if they have an answer. Radio and Bluetooth seem unaffected.

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    Yeah, I did find that 14 pages in after I'd posted, doesn't hurt though to make this more obvious IMHO :)

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    Personally no, I don't do any continental miles and like being able to see to overtake. Guess I'm back looking at the Mercs or keeping my 2017 S till the wheels fall off

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    I couldn't see anyone else posting this so I thought I would. It arrived in my email this morning because of my Model S reservation. Hi, Right-hand drive Model S will not be available in the U.K. for the forseeable future. You can choose to receive credit for Model 3 or Model Y, purchase...

    I thought Tesla drivers were better than this?

    So this is a new "d**k" move I saw at the supercharger. I watched a guy back his car in to the spot, then move forward and move the car over so he was 6 inches over the left line, then got out, plug in and walked off. The net result was he was using the A charger and blocked the B one so he...

    UK: 2017 Model S 75 MCU3 and CCS Upgrade

    I can't edit the title that should read MCU and CCS Upgrade, it is MCU2, perhaps a mod can fix it for me :/ --- My Model 3 is almost here so time to sell the S. Enhanced Autopilot, MCU upgraded, FSD Computer and AP, CCS Upgrade, Arachnid Wheels, Free Unlimited Supercharging, Free Premium...

    Model 3 Sweet Spot?

    Thanks for the responses, when I got the S one month older saved me on luxury car tax, but still just got me the AP2 and Unlimited supercharging. Am I right in thinking that the dechroming is the tell tell marker for the current generation of kit or are there some variations in the dechromed...

    Model 3 Sweet Spot?

    I'm looking to replace my S with a 3, I'd love a new S but they aren't coming soon. When I got my S it at a sweet spot, AP2, free supercharging, no luxury car tax. Is there a sweet spot on buying a 3, bigger battery is on Wiki but I can't find much out about that, is there any cut off date...

    Lake District Charging

    Just a quick update. Stayed at the Glenridding Hotel and they had a 11KW Zappi and no other electric car guests.... Nice to top off every night. I can recommend the Hotel

    Looks amazing, sold out, but thanks :)

    Yup, that's what I always do, but I was asking for some local knowledge or experience as sometimes the internet is wrong

    Lake District Charging

    The wife and I are thinking of an impromptu weekend in the lake district next weekend but looking at charging it looks like a barren spot. Tebay for the supercharger and a few podpoints around. Does anyone have any fast charging recommendations, of even a nice hotel with destination charging...

    Premium Internet Cost

    I'm bouncing back and forth on new Model 3 vs newer S to replace my S. The current car has free premium internet which is nice for the maps and traffic. Does anyone know the current UK tax monthly price of internet if I get a used S?

    Model 3 Availability

    Do you know a guy? Is Delboy involved? My accountant tells me that if I'm going to buy a new car with the company I really should do it within this year of my company's books. Originally I wanted to hold out for an S and a 2020 used S is still on the table. But does anyone know someone to...

    Alternatives to a tesla *gasp*

    I took the polestar on my run to work and not only was it not as comfy with the drivers aides on the road, on one corner it decided it couldn't cope and just just turned them off. At least the Tesla makes noise when that happens this just headed towards a tree...... Volvo safety for the win...

    Alternatives to a tesla *gasp*

    I was considering a 2 year old S, but I'm not sure if there is enough different to my current one. Probably is. But no other 2 year old EV compares so have to go new.

    Interesting, I thought the Polestar 2 driver assist didn't hold a candle to the Model S's... horse for courses I guess

    Alternatives to a tesla *gasp*

    I tried the Model 3 when I got the S 3 years ago, it was the choice of a new 3 or a used S and the S won hands down..... Has enough changed on the 3 to make it worth a relook?

    Alternatives to a tesla *gasp*

    I like my Model S but it's 5 years old now. Totally sold on the EV concept but the new S's aren't coming here anytime soon. So what do I look for, the Y or 3 seems like a step down for a smaller car. The Taycan and EQS are just a little to expensive. Polestar is a great upgrade if you are a...

    Paint Protection Film - Worth It?

    Just got the pricing to de-chip and reset the sensor on my model S at 100k miles.... should have had PPF :(

    Tesla paint repairs (Milton Keynes)

    Thanks for that one, I did go down and talk to them but the guy was very honest, he says the work is expensive work to be done by them because they do it to insurance standards, for the work I wanted they were adding a 0 to the quote I had less the bumper from the other guy, I think I need to...

    Tesla paint repairs (Milton Keynes)

    On a trip to London this weekend I was given the parting gift of having my 2017 Black Model S Keyed :( This has tipped the balance with me finally getting someone to fix up the 100,000 miles of existing scratches and paint chips and try to make the car look nice again. I chatted to local paint...

    Where are the deals?

    I agree, this might be an old thing, my 2017 S has some notable upgrades so the previous owner got them somehow, trying to work out if there is a modern source
  31. G

    Where are the deals?

    When I look at new Tesla's there is almost no deals available, pick your wheels and colour. But then I read how people got free wheel upgrades, EAP, lower price, free supercharging, premium connectivity etc.. Where do you find these details?

    £100 deposit refund

    I had a M3 on order before they came out, £1000, had to decide on selling my early spot in line or cancelling, I cancelled, I just called them up about it, they said no problem, credit was back on my card in under 48 hours. Now got £100 down for an early spot on an S, but still no news :(

    Sentry footage - Delete all

    A multi-select would be nice, I have a couple of dashcam stored I want to keep but I had 27 Sentry events parking overnight in London this weekend. No problems with the car so I'm happy to just delete. My only option is to copy off the dashcam and reformat or 27 SLLooooooW Select, delete...

    Auto Pilot disengages

    I find that I can't read the whole message while driving especially while the Autopilot is disengaging and there is a cacophony of noise. It's worth remembering that under the service menu (I think) you can bring up all the recent messages. Much more useful when you are stopped and want to...

    n00b navigation question

    Another vote for overthinking it, It'll figure out what you need, you make a judgement based on your driving style. You drive to fast and it tells you you need to slow down to make the supercharger, you drive slow it'll either ignore the stop or start pre-heating the battery for a faster...

    Alternative to UK VED (car tax)

    I'll fill up near an airport then as they have to turn the 5g off so vaccinated people don't crash planes.

    2017 Model S Auto Pilot Version

    2017 in the UK was when it switched from AP2 to AP2.5, I don't think there is any way to tell the difference from the outside as the cameras were the same. If it has Sentry mode it is AP2.5, otherwise as stated you can pay to upgrade to MCU2 and AP3 with the existing cameras. This may help...

    Lost my UK content on LTE

    Yup, this affects Tune-In too and it's been around since at least the summer when I got my MCU2 upgraded and had to buy the OTA DAB radio because you can't get any of the Magic Radio/Kiss network as they are all geo locked... I've done lots of badgering but no joy fixing it. Is this why Big...

    Sat Nav icon

    Yes, It is Navigate on Autopilot. It will make lane recommendations based on traffic and junctions and it can handle some motorway junctions but not all of them. I know it can do M4 West to M25 Clockwise, M3 North to M25 East, M25 Clockwise to M3 South, and if you have the nerve it JUST does...

    20 mph zones in side streets

    On a Tesla forum dissing AI, "Them there's fightin' words" (Credit: Yosemite Sam) :). I like the automation. What I dislike is the lack of predictability, I think this is where autonomous driving is going to fail. In poker you don't play your cards, you play the person opposite you. When...

    Tesla online used car purchase MAJOR ISSUES

    I haven't read all 3 pages of comments, but in my experience any complaint will be met with the standard response, there is someone on the complaints process who isn't paid very much and has very clear guidelines they should follow in case of dispute. But most times there are reasonable people...

    Back end slipping/strange for some owners

    Just another thought, I got my car washed this weekend and because of the line I spent a lot of time parked in the soapy water waiting to get clean. The tires seem to have absorbed or at least been coated in the soap and it has made for some interesting pulling away around a corner. I think I...

    What comes with MCU2 upgrade?

    Not sure if this applies to you but I got stung because I like OTA Radio, the Digital and FM Radio module was another £400 in the UK on top of the MCU2

    20 mph zones in side streets

    I've noticed this recently driving round the north circular where all the turn offs are 30 and the main road is 40 or 50. My safety conscious brain says "They are speed limits, not speed goals, you are allowed to drive 30 in a 50 limit" however we'll have to wait and see how the AI does when...

    Recommended charging cables - 3 phase, 32 amp, type 2

    My apologies for borrowing the thread but are there such things as 3KW cables and 7KW type 2 cables. My car charges happily at 7.2KW off the charger at home and fast off the superchargers, but my wife's BMW i3 came with a type 2 to type 2 cable and when I use that at Tesco's to charge off the...

    Rechroming?

    So I've heard of "Chrome Delete" but is there an equivalent service for chrome putting back on? My Model S has shiny 21" Arachnid wheels and since I've got them clean and fixed, they make the car look awesome. I'm still wanting a new S but the car has no chrome. Even the 21's are grey, I'd...

    Trade in now credits FSD?

    If you are considering this, look at a private party sale. The trade in calculator offered £26k for a car equivilent to £43k on Autotrader. I know people will knock you down from asking price and it takes some effort and that the dealer has to make some money, but a £17k margin has a lot of...
