Undoubtedly fine for many, but posting this to alert others that Octopus is not the super shiny best customer service supplier ever as their adverts would like you to believe. Total BS in my experience and a massively frustrating disappointment. Like many on here I signed up (technically was...

with the recent so-called "hack" of Tesla accounts supposedly via compromising user passwords and maybe less well designed apps, what is the best practice (other than don't!) for using 3rd party apps. What should you look for in the way the app is designed, and what is the safest method to...

I recall this from some time back TIDAL music streaming service coming soon to your Tesla anyone heard anything more? We're more Tidal and Amazon and dont really use Spotify elsewhere, so would be great to get our playlists in the car

More and more articles are showing that Tesla has a more agreesive taper than other manufacturers and this is starting to reduce Tesla's 5-7 year claimed lead. Bjorn Nyland recently placed the Audi ETron GT at the top of his 1000Km challenge for example. Essentially the Audi claimed the win due...

Something in my recent experience to watch out for is that Tesla no longer supply any cables at all with the loan cars, and typically the cars only have 50% charge. What's more they dont tell you this - you have to find out for yourself. (apparently the cables get nicked all the time - which...

Tesla seem determined to make the service experience as difficult as ever, endless problems getting mine booked, re-booked, ridiculously long SMS message communication, claims of emails sent that were never received etc However one particular aspect I find unforgiveable is that the loan car I...

so I'm working in the office and the staff have gone outside for lunchtime with the temperature at 33C/91F, most of them now sitting in their cars with diseasel engines running for the airconditioning and belching out fumes . Is it irony, depressing or should I just shrug and go get a beer?

Hoping we get these before mine gives up - has anybody been given a timelines for the UK yet?

For Ludicrous+ you need [Max Battery] to warm the battery for best efficiency/lowest cell IR. So when you select Max Battery why do the fans run at full speed to cool it then?

So I get 2020.16.2.1 software update and now I find that Ludicrous Plus from the T screen is no more. One of my little treats to myself after stupid long days at the office is an occasional blast on a quiet road with Ludicrous Plus or, dare I say it, just very rarely to put a Porsche or the...

Commuting to work, I have to pop in to a supplier to pick up some parts. Wifee says she'll wait in the car as she normally does for a few minutes Wife comes into store red faced and furious What's the matter? Your * ing car just deafened me Oops, thinks I - that's probably that software...

Always Bluetoothed to my phone just fine, usual niggles but manageable. Car went into service for non-related stuff, got an update to 2020.8.2 and now it wont find my phone on Bluetooth. ffs Tesla get your sh*t together and stop breaking basic functioality with updates. I am working on urgent...

been coming for a while SoftBank-backed OneWeb files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan, cuts jobs I expect it will be resurrected in some form, there's no way they launched the last batch of satellites without a plan for this. We need competition so I hope they do survive.

Car is booked in, but not sure if Service is still open. Called to check but no answer - but of course that doesnt mean a thing

Hi Elon - if there is one person on this planet who could make this happen at a speed nobody else could even contemplate - it is your good self and your companies. Your point about panic being worse than the disease itself is not entirely wrong, but irrespective many many people will die due to...

Can anyone confirm if AP2.0 owners with FSD will get updated cameras and/or radar to bring the hardware up to AP2.5 spec with the AP3 HW upgrade? I can't fathom why Tesla would want to run with different HW for FSD especially for a relatively small subset of early adopters. And with the MCU2...

well done to Tesla http://ukcoty.co.uk/uncategorized/tesla-model-3-wins-uk-car-of-the-year-2020

Does naff all at night even if you walk around the car. During the day it will occasionally if prompted hard enough wink the DRLs and show the HAL screen. It doesnt send notifications to the mobile app, andI know we dont get to record video on usb with mcu1, so am I missing some killer feature...

Absolutely hopeless discussion with them on the phone. Does anybody have proof (eg email) from LV that the standard Tesla monitoring meets LV requirement for a tracker please? Or, are owners with LV insurance having 3rd party trackers fitted? Concerned that otherwise LV could deny...

I remember the first time I drove a ModelS I got back into my own car and it felt like stepping back into the 1980s. Yes, there was the EV silent whoosh but actually it was that massive screen, beautiful clean uncluttered button free design that made it feel so new and different. Step forward...

Up for grabs a Gigafactory and an R+D center Germany 2 Great Britain 0 Tesla to build first European factory in Germany | Autocar In fact it seems Elon+Tesla couldn't give a fig about the UK these days with no apparent UK management structure and wider chaos. Probably shouldn't stick...

(disclaimer: I am no battery expert!) DCIR (cell internal resistance) is one of the primary limitations in cell performance. Fundamentally it is this that creates the heat in the cell when current is drawn. It also typically increases as cells age. VAG/VW/Porsche et al have clearly chosen...

So you cant talk to Tesla these days, everything refers you back to [email protected] Slight issue with this is that email never gets answered. Totally completely utterly useless. So if anyone from Tesla GB is reading this - I am (or was?) trying to complete the purchase of an inventory car...

So, is the model S now dead in the UK or is it still going to sell?

Hi - Could some kindly soul with knowledge of such matters please update me on the latest UK tax rules and relative ownership (not cost of owning relatives!) costs for a Tesla purchased around now either as private or company (cash purchase not HP/PCP). Thanks.

More changes ...hope nobody recently purchased got burned. Ludicrous now for free, was 8K means you can now get a Model S ludicrous for ~93K GBP Standard range is gone too. Carbon interior option is back though, so I guess they got some more stock. Not been following M3 pricing, anyone know...

Can you fit a Large frame 29er MTB, with the front wheel removed in the trunk of a Model3 with the rear seats folded? I'm 6 foot tall for saddle height reference. Prefer to only remove the front wheel though, not the rear wheel or seat post etc. Anyone done this? If it fits, means I can chuck...

maybe it's just because this is a Tesla site, and Tesla seems to bring more idiotic ill-informed comment than any other brand I associate myself with, but the number of times I read stuff on here and literally facepalm or just shake my head in disbelief at some utter nonsense... probably need to...

Can somebody tell me what you get with standard AP vs FSD in the UK these days as I understand they have removed some functions from AP eg lane change and pushed them into FSD, but then there is no point considering FSD if many functions are not working in hte UK at this time, or not on the type...

today, listed on autotrader from Tesla if it wasn't for the fact so many owners got burned by Tesla crass 30% price hack tactics it would almost be funny. but it isn't.

Just thinking ahead with the rumor that the ModelS is going to get a landscape screen a la Model3 with the facelift later this year. With other significant updates once something new is out the old stuff (quite reasonably imo) only gets sporadic updates. If true though, it does mean that...

not a bad effort for a 6 year old design. Still winning awards; whilst years later the competion are in a grubby and entirely predicatable brawl over battery supplies Best Green Year 2019 – Tesla Model S Congrats Tesla.

(not a post I ever wanted to write, I am a huge supporter of Tesla but I am highly critical of the recent abrupt price changes and the damage this is causing to existing owners (sic supporters & ambassadors) and the wider Tesla market in the UK at least) So. sold mine a short while back. lost a...

all down to Tesla recent manic pricing moves sold mine and looking to replace but ... buying a new MS is a concern just now as there are a number of key updates to Model S imminent particularly the interior refresh, although with a factory order you would get the new suspension and other minor...

So far as I can tell this is the biggest remaining difference if an AP2.0 owner were to upgrade to FSD. Anyone know whether an upgrade is possible, talked to Tesla about it, or indeed could it be offered as an option if upgrading to AP3 hardware?

First sit in a Model 3 today. All really very nice inside and out; but seat side bolsters seemed very flat to me. Not much support there even compared to the Model S which are fine if not outstanding I so wish Tesla would fit adjustable side bolsters to cater for drivers of various sizes and to...

"WLTP will apply to all new car registrations from September 2018. EU measures for end-of-series cars should allow for a limited number of unsold vehicles in stock that were approved under the old test (NEDC) to be sold the following year, that is until September 2019." even on the US website...

what's the math with this? Seems to me that Tesla would have to sell more ModelS than they could make to compensate for the loss in profit. The rule of "always offer more for the same price than offer a discount" obviously didn't get applied

possibly looking for a used ModelS somewhere around the change to AP2.5 hardware I believe the changeover happened somewhere around VIN 220000 but is it possible to tell just by looking at the vehicle?

Little factoid I found out from Tesla during my recent discussions about range calculation: UK owners now only get one free lifetime Tesla rescue included if you run out of charge, otherwise it is chargeable. (can't speak for other markets). Still pretty decent if you ask me, but perhaps best...

working too hard as usual. forgot to charge at home last night forgot to throw the umc in the car this morning (well it wasnt plugged in as my usual reminder) so cant charge at the office. so am at the office now car showing 50 miles range, and it's a 45 mile trip home. The car is now switched...

Never really bothered with L+ as the car plenty quick enough in daily use, but was given a tip off to try it for better steering. To my surprise I did indeed find steering was much better in L+, with much less "slop" around the centre. I can see why Tesla would set up steering to be at its...

Would be great if Tesla could leverage some of the M3P handling knowledge into the P90D/P100D etc. Car is great of course, but there are times when it do with sharpening up a bit. Not proposing a full track mode with lurid tail wagging (although ...) as the motors/batteries thermally are not...

(random example pictures off the internet) The inability is fairly well documented for the auto-headlights to reliably dip : for oncoming traffic especially if off-centre eg on a curve; when following other traffic the sensitivity for red tailights is variously hopeless However I continue to...

I'm sure I read elswhere on the forum there is suposed to be an updated neural network for the auto wipers? If there is well all I can say is if true then they have a lot further to go. Wiper go nuts when you start off when there is no rain if there is even a hint of moisture on the screen...

Audi rigging the software to achieve the claimed WLTP range figures?

Moderator note (bmah): Merging at least two threads with this video, there will probably be more. I am trying really hard to not make an editorial comment about this.

just appeared on teslafi. the third decimal point is unusual in Tesla's build numbers Christmas release? last year that was .50 but with the fleet getting much bigger now maybe they pulled it forward

Monday morning - out to car - got a flat no spare no inflation kit (as standard) ... and actually in this case no repair possible as large piece of flint had cut it too badly. now why couldn't the App have told me the tyre was flat on Friday night/Saturday as it surely was? I could easily have...

I keep hearing about the possibility for Tesla to do this, but don't know enough to do the math. The reason I think it might become increasingly relevant is that with ever more "extreme" claims being made for charging speeds, the delivery of the power from the grid has to be a major limiting...
