    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    This is false, at least as far as the official extended warranty goes (the one provided by Millenium, accessed via here). This integrates with the app, follows the car if it's sold, etc. What they've said there is only true of random aftermarket warranties.

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Same boat, as you know. I have made enquiries about forcing performance of a contract, but it's not something done via small claims and I've been told that so long as they refund you then it would basically be difficult to fight as you'd be doing so on a point of principal. Since it would be...

    V2H hack

    I would assume in a Tesla if it detects the 12v battery is not holding a charge (because it’s constantly draining) it will simply determine that it is failing, throw an alert that will then have the attendant consequences (car not sleeping, not updating, etc)

    Would You Buy a Tesla Phone?

    Will never happen so it's a moot point. At what point do people start to apply some critical thinking to these flights of fancy? Just because Elon suggests something could happen, doesn't mean it will - and nowadays more than likely that it won't. Elon even tweeted about how it could use...

    Turn signal mode change since last OTA

    Quite a few people have experienced this and been confused by it. I have no idea why Tesla switched this on for people, as the option has been available for quite a while (defaulted to "off").

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Hmm.. this is all very slapdash. Seems to be no rhyme nor reason to why some people had it honoured and others don't. I don't even have a refund!

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    What was the circumstances of yours? Had you dropped out of warranty while the extended warranty was unavailable to buy?

    EU likely to impose 25% import tariff's on cars from China

    Probably a somewhat ignorant point of view but why, as a consumer, should I care if China is selling cars at "artificially low prices"? Am I supposed to care that big German marques can't make the margins they want on their offerings, and want to carry on charging over the odds? Seems like...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Yup, am aware. As said it's a case of finding the time and also having to learn a new language to try and achieve this.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    When I get some time and if I can decipher the code I'm hoping to fork it and add an option to "treat offline as asleep" (like TeslaFi has). My OCD is bad with it always showing "offline" now, when I know it isn't. The TeslaMate devs are reticent to conflate "offline" with "asleep", which i...

    Is this for real? Passport and driving license upload or you can drive your tesla!

    Bought outright, not received email. Why would they need to do KYC retroactively for existing contracts? Classic Tesla though sending emails that look like scams. I remember sending my money via BACS to a random bank account, and looking through a webpage HTML source code to see if they had...

    UK Black M3P with tints and chrome delete

    Some places will disassemble the mirrors to get better coverage. If done in situ on the car then it is very difficult to get certain parts of it done well, as you say.

    [UK] 2024.20 Software Update

    Well spotted. Was hoping to get that (even though I don’t know what it means) but oh well.

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Received this back from that email earlier this evening (emphasis mine): Obviously not very happy. I have emailed back pointing out that I did email them during the period the extended warranty was unavailable to buy, at which point my warranty was still valid, and I received a response...

    [UK] 2024.20 Software Update

    I'd argue about someone getting strikes being called "a relatively good driver", but that's a well worn argument at this point :) Nothing explicit in the release notes, but it could be an undocumented change. Will give AP a try a bit later. Our nagging is more aggressive than they see in the...
