    tesla helvetia extended warranty UK specific

    Indeed, it doesn’t include lights which are £1,400 each when needed but wondering if anyone has actually used them. I know bills can soon rack up for those that do have some issues, some don’t have any and I haven’t had many but can imagine they would have costed more than £3,180 if they are...

    tesla helvetia extended warranty UK specific

    Hi all, apologies if this is covered, I did search but seemed to find non-UK threads but my 4 year standard warranty runs out soon and want to ask if anyone has claimed on helvetia extended warranty, if there is excess for each claim and if anyone’s has digested the vast list of what is NOT...

    [UK] 2021.24

    No but is annoying to not get it. Like Netflix and everything else it’ll think we’re in another country so might not be able to see the same list of content but would have expected Disney+ to appear in the UK

    2021.4.15

    So I haven’t experience the issues other had said but one issue I have since 2021.4.15 is that when turning on Climate from the Phone App it turns on but doesn’t enable A/C. I have tried both 4 finger reboot and a full power down for over 5 minutes and still the same. The car was registering 41C...

    Do you regret AP3 upgrade with MCU1?

    My 2017 S was AP2.5 / MCU1 and upgraded to HW3 a few months ago. No noticeable difference with MCU1 performance (or lack of). I have always had intermittent issues when USB drives are plugged in as they can become corrupted which in turn slows down the boot up of the MCU and either removing USB...

    Any news on MCU1 -> MCU2 upgrades in the UK yet?

    I booked mine in for MCU 2 retrofit asking if FM will be lost and if 5Ghz WiFi would be enabled and got this response: The MCU upgrade costs £2,400. You will loose FM / DAB - The retrofit for this is currently not available but should be at some point in Q4. Please let us know if you wish to...

    2020.16.2.1

    I have the same. I have a USB adapter with a 32GB MicroSSD plugged in. First of all it was formatted with FAT32 and working but then not showing up, then after unplugging and plugging in a few times it showed up and I could format in the car. Unplugged to plug into laptop to check it was exfat...

    2020.12.5 Rolling

    So I now have 2020.8.2 reinstalling after the failed 2020.12.5 so who knows what went wrong.

    2020.12.5 Rolling

    I did have it available so as usual turned off sentry and kicked off the install. About 20 mins later I got an update failed message and it’s no longer visible to try again. Currently on 2020.8.2 with HW2.5 MCU1 will pop out later to give it a reboot just in case it helps show up again

    2020.4.1 incoming

    Not sure if just me but I find it is now really slow to accelerate when a car moves out from in front of you. Speed set for 70, sitting at 45 and then seems to take forever to get back up to 70 when all clear. End up having to force it as cars behind me not happy.

    2020.4.1 incoming

    First drive today with this version (came from 2019.40.2.5) and drive was pretty good, still locks onto slow lane cars when switching from AP and NOA but the main problem is the auto wipers no longer work st all. I always try out auto wipers in versions and the last couple of versions have been...

    Service Appointments via the App

    I just wonder if they change our times to a x:15 to stop us being able to change appointments hence why I would like someone to see if there are any appointments showing for Tesla Brooklands as when I look there is nothing from now until June (I didn’t go further than this) or do they actually...

    Service Appointments via the App

    Quick question regarding the App and scheduling services. When I booked an appointment last year I booked 8am. I could then look through different dates and move accordingly.

    I’m still on 2019.40.2.x but had been having voice control issues for ages so I reset this who car, yep factory default and set up personal settings again. No problem since.

    2019.40.50.1 installing

    I must have been on the naughty list, still waiting. I know it’s all hit and miss but in the past had been lucky and normally get hit within about 100-200 on TeslaFi but not this time. Oh well, am sure it will come at some point, perhaps when the HW3 retrofit ramps up in Q1 (apparently) although...

    2019.40.50.1 installing

    I would assume visualisation is for HW3 only, smart summon is only going to work for approved locations (UK not being one of them) so that won’t work even though it says it’s available.

    Stick with Sentry Mode/Tesla Cam or invest in Blackvue?

    Defo get Blackview of Thinkware professionally installed (Simon Home). Although the Tesla DashCam/sentry is good it doesn’t beat having a dedicated system installed. Someone hit mine and the Thinkware F800 Pro that I have had the data needed whereas Tesla data was helpful but wasn’t specific for...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I purchased the FSD upgrade when it was an extra £1,900 on my Enhanced Autopilot AP2.5/MCU1 2017 not so I could get FSD as personally (my opinion only) FSD will not be available in the UK anytime soon and doubtful within the timeframe of keeping the car. I purchased FSD so that the computer...

    Come here baby 2019.40.2.1

    Does anyone’s wiper service mode work with this update? Mine won’t work and performed all reboots but toggling the switch doesn’t move the wiper. If it’s turned on and I manually turn on wipers it just toggles it off.

    What's the SAFEST way to remove ice and snow from the car?

    I normally use warm (not hot) water, always works a treat for me. Only problem is when really code it will then freeze on the ground so keep that in mind. Defo never use hot water and when I say warm it’s more off cold just to clear the car.

    2019.32.12.X

    So to update, on the way home (I am UK based so drive on the left) I had about 3 phantom brakes plus 2 where it latched onto the car on my left so slowed me down radically when I should be overtaking probably making the cars behind me think I am an idiot. Apart from than wasn’t too bad but not...

    2019.32.12.X

    I installed 2019.32.12.7 this morning and dare I say but has a great Autopilot drive. only about 25 miles of my 65mile commute was on main roads but didn’t have a single phantom break and when cars pulled in front of me it slowed nicely instead of harshly. Now I did do a full reset (well 2 x...

    2019.36.x - UK perspective

    Still don’t know what us oldies (not that March 2018 is old) will get. Assume no performance increase for us MCU1 and older motor owners but would be good to get the full regen at least.

    Anyone want more power?

    The question around S and X is whether models older than Oct 2018 are included in said updates. I appreciate MCU 2 has more than our MCU 1 vehicles but surely these power increases should cover more of the fleet and not just 100 batteries either???

    V10 on MCU1

    It will be such a shame if there is never a MCU2 retrofit, appreciate not everything can be upgraded but let’s say Tesla complete FSD next year (stop laughing) how long would that take to upgrade every single 2.5 computer for those that purchased FSD let alone if they did also work with 2.0...

    Hands-free call quality

    It’s always been bad in my Model S and any iPhone model I have tried. It’s fine for me but not the person on the other end of the phone saying there is a lot of background noise or I am really quiet (unless it press myself against the microphone in the middle)

    EU Low Speed Noise Generator

    Yes, keep climate on just keeps the temperature set but everything else is the same. Dog mode puts the image on the screen to alert passers by that the car is cool etc.

    Software Update 2019.20.x

    Nice, worked for me too. Have had 2019.16.3.2 since 01/06 and it had been ok (apart from TACC/AP wanting to kill me or have so much phantom breaking that I gave up using it for a while as too many near rear ends) but today also noticed no lane lines or vehicles around me and no TACC/AP so turned...

    Ooh what delights (or issues) will this one bring. Chatter around light recognition and advanced summon (except us in europe where the EN want to restrict everything) and no doubt other stuff :-). The iOS app just updated to 3.8.5 too but who knows if that’ll do anything.
