Not by me and had it from new. Unless Tesla refurbed before delivery.

I know but it just seems odd that these 2 paint layers don't bond and the lacquer is brittle. I am sure working from existing damage I could chip the whole lot off the wheel if i tried so its hard to imagine something can get under the lacquer when it could be cm away? I have seen it on...

These are original wheels. Not refurbished etc. damaged for the first time 3 weeks ago in Bracknell Lexicon car park.

I kerbed my wheel in multi story 3 weeks ago. I decided to leave any diy repair it until the weather improves. Today I noticed the clear-coat had flaked off about 1-2cm from the damage. When touched the clear just continued to crack off. Does this sound like a manufacturing defect?

Maybe we should get 'credits' every time we have to bail out the car when it forgets to turn on the wipers in a storm!

If there are problems with local cell towers can you connect with wifi?

Sometimes IO will overrun the 5:30am slot but it does not mean you are being charged peak rate. Before stopping check for new IO slots.

I know this is a few months later...mine is still rubbish. I have marked up picture to show receiver location. It is behind bumper. The receiver needs plastic to prevent loss of signal. I could hold my phone on bumper and it still does not pick it up!

If you always use the hotspot...Set your hotspot details exactly same as home network. When you drive away it "should" seamlessly flip. Use some app like Carspot to turn hotspot on & off.

Anyone know anything about Tesla changing the tailgate hinges. Apparently there has been 2 modified versions since the one without a grub screw (in the middle). I guess I am on version 1. I saw a video on here about bending hinges..news to me.

Tapes ok mines been on a few months now.

If you push on the closed tailgate just above the lights you can create the noise for elimination of doubt. I was driving myself nuts until the SC tech cam out and went straight to it!! I was convinced it was the rear doors/windows. Its a known issue and he said in the US owners have been...

I will post photo when it brightens up out there!

Thread 'Creaking tailgate - mobile technician visit' Creaking tailgate - mobile technician visit

I put thin strip of fabric tape (loom tape - Tape Loom Cable Fixed Cloth Fabric Wire Harness Tape Adhesive Heat-resistant | eBay) down the edge of the paintwork where the tailgate seal touches @Jason71 Its been working for a few months will post photo later. It obviously will pick up dust so...

Maybe we should get a "-" nag credit each time we have to override something which should be hands off and clearly making our awareness of the road ahead less safe.

Can someone explain to me and Pink why the speed on the display are 'sometimes' not related to the cars actions.

Sorry I thought tesla did use OSM - cheap data etc. I agree though OSM is good for a huge amount of data but its the 'newbie change mistakes' that got me thinking the way I did. Most of these sessions of the car slowing are short lived so they are quickly being corrected. The posts above 2...

Sorry but I am confused here. I have experienced this more recently and my blame went straight to mapping. If the car is slowing for no visual reason then why should vision be blamed? I have long suspected, as this problem has been there since ~2020 for me - which pre dated sign recognition...

Ultrasonics cannot see lines! These are not mutually exclusive. The 360 is very good so far but its got a long way to go. I hope Tesla realise this and give the update to everyone.

Another vote for Chichester..I got a new Zoe, great little car sad to give it back it was that good.

Clearly you have reduced your average soooo much.... What you need to do is a couple of early evening charges to bring it back up!

Reads like the 'forever' option in the release notes. Hope not. I have definitely reached 5. In some cases it just seemed to happen! usually on roundabouts.

Ok this is not getting better with the cold weather, the Coandă spacers working a treat by the way, but I believe we have something else at play. Even with the vehicle up to temperature there is a really cold draft by my (rhd) right knee. It also feels (wet finger test) to be cold air being...

Model Y here downloading now

Missed your post. Hope it comes back. It still works but the setting can only be at exactly the speed limit. I like to have a 6% addition on the long press. I suppose I will have to get used to it, I always thought it was a beneficial bug!!

32.6 has changed the Cruise Control setting logic. For the past 5 years i have been able to set current speed (quick press down stalk) AND a %offset to speed limit (press and hold). Now its one or the other.

Do we need an Octopus Mini for this?

Time seems to be important SC told me not to be in rush as it can take up to 5 seconds to wake up (They have checked my car logs). So why is it only at rear..ugh! Sh!t excuse?

From the rear, which is what we are talking about, it is in the centre of the rear bumper (uk). Under the trunk lock.

Had to go on Wikip for that speeling. It was either that or Bernoulli principle. It all hot air to me...or cold air mostly hitting my knees.

I have posted this here somewhere but now lost the thread!! It has been noted that you can get fingers in passenger side vent (rhd) but not drivers side. At service centre I sat in several heat-pump Y/3's all the same having smaller vent height on drivers side - and air could not be directed...

Like I said "...less scrapes, more speed". Or is it "More haste, less speed" whatever! If you go too slow the mud flaps come down crunch onto the speed bump itself. I have a viewing spot at my local Costa. I sit there watching drivers trash their mud flaps on a simple black/yellow rubber...

Probably not but it was a question from a new user. I suppose its like saying "do we need another windscreen wipers are Rubbish" thread. Personally that other thread winds me up a bit just because of the click-bait style title.

Welcome and definitely recommend. I have been with IO for about a year. 2 ways to operate either the car controls charging or smart charger. For the car to control charging (my preference) set smart wall charger to 'Dumb'/ 'off' mode. Personally I let IO control everything I don't set...

Didn't work, gummi pfledge works for a bit but I am sure its more for rejuvenation of old rubber. It dries dry🤦. (Prices & quantities vary shop around). Silicon oil helps but likely to spread onto paintwork. These seals squeak from outside but sound like our creak inside

My Y still catches some speed bump. It is better to go a bit faster as in my case its the rebound that makes the mudflaps catch the bump itself. I assume you cannot see any dropped covers under car.

Same issue today. Tech admitted tesla are aware of this problem. He recreated it immediately by pushing tailgate down above each rear light. Agreed it was the outer seal but advised against lube / gummi pfledge when I asked. I hope this means a revised seal may be in the pipeline. Meanwhile...

I was similarly treated today at Winchester (bit unfair, tech spent ages with me in various new models 3s & Ys all had similarly poor air flow and the gap on d/side consistently smaller than p/side). What does it take to get a fault recognised. This thread alone shows similar concerns have...

No it/he didn't believe me. It was cc. It is made worse when you start using accelerator pedal when slowing down it lets you control the speed of car for a bit then takes over. Usually at roundabout. I am sure its not just me.

Thats what I want 99% of the time, just not if I am not expecting it. Does anyone elses vehicle accelerate to 70mph from a 30mph cc setpoint.

If you want a real "my car is trying to kill me". I have a slip road onto a 70mph A Road from a 30 limit. If i have Cruise Control 'on' in the 30 limit the instant i get to the 'national speed limit' sign and merge the car speeds up to 70mph. Before anyone asks the cc has not previously...

Your comment about the roundabout is interesting. I guess you are coming from an ice car which you have to use the brakes to stop! What you experienced is cruse control memory. Most ice cars drop cc below 20mph. I get it a lot. This is what happens. Say you are have cc on at 30mph. The...

Hi, I am starting to think this may have something to do with the gap where the horizontal air comes out. On passenger side I can get my finger in but on drivers side I cannot. The smaller height increases the air speed and makes it harder to control (vertical bleed) and makes the air follow...

Nothing should get hot! I would hope its just a bad screwed connection (over tightning can be as bad as under tightning!). Other than that there is no harm in changing the 240v breaker (pair) if they are still available. I am in uk so unsure about your 'gauge' wiring. But here I would be using...

If the valve is leaking internally the seals can be replaced and Schrader valve interchangable by any tyre garage. If the sensor is working don't change it.

Just for info this problem is also found on my model y. I too suspected the vertical 'bleed' was weak. The air just follows the curvature of dash to my knees. If you don't want the air blowing on your face you can also split the air flow on dash by using 2 fingers moving apart. I have also...
