100% this ^^^^ My late 2021 LR is on 2023.44.30.14 and would be quite happy to have no other updates aside from safety tweaks. Only things that would make it any better is if they would bring back radar TACC which behaved better and improved wipers. Couldn’t give a toss about unnecessary...

9.6% APR 😳 Edit - see the US also get stealth grey as standard rather than ambulance white… and now spotted the thread discussing the new M3P… oops

Got a mobile tech coming out to fix. Mentions AC cable - charge port to HV battery. Assume this is the harness? Thanks!

My December 21 M3LR showed this message Saturday night and waiting for a reply to my service request. Hopefully can be fixed remotely… luckily very rarely need fast charge…

This^ when I first got the car in December 2021 and it had radar, TACC was decent enough. The acceleration is now much more jerky and slows down too late. Also, in the slightest bit of inclement weather on motorways, it can be close to dangerous when passing as it craps itself and slows down on...

Don’t give a sh🤬t about these latest/useless features. Just fix the damn wipers and give me dumb cruise control and I’ll never update the software again. Can’t be that hard surely 🙄

No media outlet is perfect but: Reuters - Bias and Credibility

If you read the full Electrek piece they seem to think that there could be something to this. Musk would never bend the truth of course to bolster the share price?

Report by Reuters here. Also states that they will focus on robotaxis instead. Can see a few potential impacts being: the share price pummelled, Musk out and Tesla being ripe for sale in the coming future. Thoughts? Could also be nonsense of course. Edited to add: big caveat being that...

Think you are coming up against the fact that this is a thread in the UK part of the forums. What the US populous considers left (Dems) is probably aligned with centrist or even (for some policies) just to the right of the political spectrum in the UK. Although there is definitely a shift...

Looks like Octopus are having connectivity issues today. Anyone else get the message: We are having trouble connecting to some cars tonight, which we’re currently looking into. Here’s what you need to do in the meantime: schedule your own EV charging in the Tesla app to charge between...

And here… agree, over 60p a day for daily charges are ridiculous. Projected to save £60 over the year. Whoop-e-doo for me 🙄

Cool story bro. Did you do any research before buying the car? All the things you list are easily found described online and here. Other car manufacturers also don’t provide tyre spares or often repair kits and it is not Tesla’s fault that you got a puncture as said above. Go and buy a repair...

Just sent off 6 agreements to BMW, one to Land Rover and one to Hyundai. Waiting now begins 😬 Handy tool on the MSE website.

Dec 21 M3LR on 18 inch wheels. Mainly 15 mile journeys and short under 1 mile trips around town. Plus several 550 milers (one way trip) at motorway speeds usually in winter. Use Michelin CC2s for Oct to March driving. PS4s in spring and summer. 19000 miles at 252 wh/mi

It’s not leather. Some inferior “vegan” upvc or similar synthetic substitute.

One of those new Lotus SUV EV things just drove past me going in the opposite direction. From what I saw it looks like an absolute bloated abomination and complete dump on the Lotus brand… sad reflection on the direction of the car market, which makes me kind of sad.

Another one here with the lane departure warning since 2023.44. I assumed it was related to the US safety recall; I.e. if any of the cameras are blocked or unable to interpret their surroundings or on a road where the edges of the road lanes are not clearly defined a warning pops up. Very odd...

If you fancy a Jalopnik hat then let them know where you found it. Dear Readers, Find The Weed-Ridden Tesla Roadster In San Francisco And We’ll Send You A Hat — Jalopnik

If you do a search you’ll see that there are hundreds of posts on this topic. Consensus is that Tesla paint is as soft as butter…

Do you have a vision only vehicle or did it have radar originally? There seems to no obvious rhyme or reason why some have issues and others don’t. Speculating, maybe newer vision only cars cope better than those which used to have radar? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I have a December 2021 M3 for reference.

They’ve really messed up TACC recently and am having the same issue at times. Wet weather (even very minor rain or drizzle) is causing real issues with TACC now. Posted about this in the Holiday update thread.

And heavier, higher drag, poorer economy, often less practical due to the poor packaging/design etc. Bit of a travesty overall and a sad reflection of where society is going… Happy new year all 😁

The latest update has totally ruined even basic TACC for me (all I tend to use). Slightest bit of rain and speed is reduced to a potentially dangerous point on motorways… Overtaking a lorry is also dangerous as the car bails as soon as spray hits as well. Just give us dumb cruise control or...

Fixed that for you - simply not true these days. Hatchbacks are a dying breed.

Thanks for clarifying. Very odd way to start a thread indeed… as said above by @Zilla91 if they can’t handle a bit of fun on an online forum then good luck dealing with Tesla in the real world. Distance selling or not.

So what happened to the thread about the Model S return we were all waiting for with bated breath @GeorgeSymonds ? Was it deleted for some reason? Pity if so as would have been good to get some real world uk feedback on it…

Another data point for the thread. Feel lucky compared to most looking at the figures above. Admiral. Late 2021 Tesla model 3 LR, 10000 miles per year (2000 business), 48yo plus wife same age, max NCD, minimum excess, rural Oxfordshire- £550. Only managed to haggle £27 off them this year.. As...

Again with this… 🥱

Was thinking the same. Some idiot trying it on. Think I might start to turn off dumb charging mode in the near future as we will start to hear about electricity being stolen no doubt.

No it is purely your imagination and Tesla specifically messing with you /s @GeorgeSymonds - Is another thread needed to specifically discuss APR on the highland? Already mentioned in the main thread created by the OP.

Oh but like your government you seem to constantly stick your oar into topics from foreign countries you have no clue 😜

And UK Tesla’s are manufactured where exactly… 🙄😂

Ditto, as the late night, early morning temps are dropping into low single figures I fitted my winter set of wheels with CC2s on. Got my first Amber TPMS warning as well.

Have you jumped to another EV? What have you gone for out of curiosity?

PS Thank you @kelvin 660 for such a positive post highlighting the pleasure that can be had from car ownership. Makes a nice change from all the 1st world negativity you see with most threads on the UK section of TMC 👍

I think you are one full of *sugar* and being a drama queen 🤪 Did a quick check with WBAC and Cazoo for my almost 2y old M3LR with 16k on the clock and got pretty much 30k from each. About 40% depreciation over that time seems right to me. E.g. It’s never been easier to sell any model of car...

😝

Think I’ll stick to our Z4 M40i for weekend drives in the sun. Best of both having the 3 as a daily and a silky in-line 6 cylinder roadster for the weekend🥰

Oh great, another thread on residuals 🙄 Very few cars are immune from such depreciation. Fact of life that you lose most in the early period. If you don’t like this buy a 2 or 3 year old car. Otherwise suck it up.

Get used to it on a Tesla. Must be the softest paint of all cars I’ve owned by a big margin. 16000 miles in (MIC) and the bumper and front looks like it has been driven behind a road gritter most of that time. I’ll just get a respray at some point as I intend to keep it for a long while.

Just been notified that 20.9 is ready. Anyone installed yet and seen anything different? E.g. return of nav window on right side?

Old news. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-price-reductions.302793/page-5

Suspect they will use the usual manufacturer finance support tactic and pull any discounts and only allow 0% at full list price, thereby cancelling out any benefit. Would be happy to be proved wrong.

First drive today with nav on 20.7 and was about to post this. Same here… seems pretty universal?
