Good morning everyone I know that this subject has been covered in depth (subject being that Tesla Auto Wipers are absolute dog turd). Just wondering if anyone has seen or heard any updates on a fix or whether they’re expected to actually work properly at some point? SC literally burying...

Hi guys Anyone got the best match touch up for Blue MY? Tesla shop returns nothing.

Hi all Well it’s finally happened, my beloved Induction Wheels have finally kissed a manky old curb. Been quoted couple hundred to have these professionally done, which I don’t mind as I know they do a class job but I’m thinking just to touch up for now and then have them done properly if...

Hi all Terrible creaking noise coming from the rear of my MYLR22. I’ve taken everything out including the shelf and climbed in the back whilst car moving to determine where the noise is coming from. Sounds to me like it’s coming from in and around the hatch itself., more towards the black...

Hi all Long time Octopus Go user and now turned to IO. Is it normal that when you plug in the car at the end of the day, the car starts taking a charge? I’ve just spoke to Octopus and they’ve said totally normal for the car to charge up to HALF AN HOUR whilst a handshake is made with their...

Hi all, all the best for 2024 to you Kinda revisiting an old post here reference attaching the front plate to the plastic base on model Y. Don’t want to screw it and drill holes in things. Must be someone out there who has used tape of some description that has been more than adequate to...

Evening all Tried to use both 12v sockets inside my MY23 today, just for a portable tyre inflator. When I plugged into the front socket in centre console, the inflator worked for 5-10 seconds then cut out completely. I switch to the rear socket in the back and same thing again. The machine is...

Hi all I have a question ref the Apple Watch Tesla Shortcuts. I’m using the “Open Boot” shortcut in Siri on my Apple Watch. When I ask Siri to “open boot” it brings up an option on the screen saying “open” and “close” The whole point of this shortcut for me is if I’m carrying the bairn in my...

Hi all Just thought I’d share this pearler from the SC. Like many others, the auto wipers on my MYLR23 have a mind of their own, come on when it’s dry and sunny, won’t work properly when it’s dull and wet. Contacted the SC, they’ve turned around and said that this is due to switching from...

Hi all Just noticed that Spotify will now only play one song from a particular requested artist. Example, I use voice command to “play music by Metallica” and indeed it’ll play music by Metallica at random but only one track and then move onto something else. I noticed it said “Metallica...

Evening all, Resurrecting an old post here. Previously asked the forum if anyone had removed the god awful tesla brackets on the Model Y, especially the front. I've sorted the rear but I don't want to drill the plate on the front to attach to the rear base. Question is, has anyone managed to...

Hi all Just had my Octopus Go renewal through. They’re offering to drop my peak rate from 38.5 p to 29.5p. Increase my off peak rate from 7.5p to 9.5p, whilst increasing the standing charge from 48.5p to 55.6p. I’m not sure what to think of this. Isn’t there meant to be a reduction in cost...

Hi all Doesn’t seem like this has been covered in previous posts. Noticed if I go over speed bumps even slowly, as the front wheels go down I’m getting a scraping noise from what sounds like front drivers side. I’m driving MYLR23, plenty wheel clearance so it’s not like the wheel is anywhere...

Hi all Here’s a lovely mystery to solve. Sentry is activating at home location, even although home is set as excluded. This only happens when I’m offshore and the car is at home with the mrs. Details: 1. Both my wife and I have apps set up for the car 2. When I’m at home the car doesn’t...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has had their fill and rejected their Tesla? Be interesting to see how many have and why.

Hi all Anyone had any luck installing some decent rear footwell lights in MY? I’d changed all the lights out in previous M3 to brighter ones, just got them off eBay and they were sound but I’ve never done the rear footwells before.

Hi all, Yes, its the remove those horrid Tesla Reg Plate Holders post! Ok, I removed the rear bracket altogether on new MY, stuck the plate directly to the car using hook and lock 3M velcro (used exact same stuff with my previous M3, never budged for 3 years and was super difficult to take off...

Morning all Thoroughly enjoying my new MYLR (even ia Park Assist is still dreadful). Going to put my neck on the line here but I think (to my ears anyway) that Apple Music over Bluetooth is by far the best quality sound out of the streaming options in the car. Spotify and AM apps from the car...

Hi all Think this has been talked about a bit. Got the new MY 2 days ago, camera calibration complete but getting Parking Assist Unavailable error and Degraded error. It’s chiming but miles out telling me to stop and beeping like hell and I’m about 2ft away from anything. I’m on 2023.12.9...

Hi all, Following on from my previous post about PPF patches on the rear doors. Just wanted to know if anyone has had this removed and replaced with something a bit better and less obvious? Spoke to a couple detailers today who’ve informed me that they can do better than the factory fit PPF.

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has removed the rear sill PPF coming with new MY now? I’m taking collecting mine in a couple of days and I’ve seen the PPF on it. You can clearly see where it is, which has surprised me somewhat. I’ve no experience in PPF but I thought it would have blended in better...

Morning all Taking delivery of new MY this week and already doing the obligatory accessories shopping, as I did with the M3. Hoping the likes of my centre console trays fit the MY, can’t see why not but what I do want to do is blackout out the chrome Tesla badges front and rear. Obviously...

Evening all, Just placed an order for Metallic Blue MY. Considering ceramic coating but just wanted to know what other people’s thoughts are on this, like do you genuinely believe it has any other benefits apart from looking shinier and wash easier? Will this stuff really add more protection...

Hi all, Anyone any idea at all what Tesla are playing at with price reductions? Yesterday, “new” MY in the inventory 52880 at certain centres in the U.K. Glasgow had some 53910. This morning all back to full price, yet the advisor from Tesla just yesterday told me the reductions will continue...

Hi all I’ve ordered an in stock Model Y with reduced price tag. Explained to the showroom that I’m away on business and won’t be able to collect for a few weeks. They initially said this was ok, yet they’ve now got in touch and said it’s not ok and if I don’t collect the car in 7 days then I...

Hi all Yes, it’s probably been discussed in the past here but I’ll ask anyway. Been offered a MY in Blue but just discovered it has white interior. I’ve always steered clear of this. For a start I’ve got young kids, which I know isn’t the end of the world and the seats apparently wipe down...

Hi all Circling the Met Blue MY. He originally been sniffing around the Met Silver but I passed a Blue yesterday and thought it was stunning! Anyone have it in Blue? Happy with it? Pros and Cons if any? Get ya pics oot! 😂

Hi all Looking to put through an order for MY. Minimum miles starts at 10k but we’re only going to do 6-7k. I know that would potentially make the car more valuable than the GFV on 10k but obviously it’s about those monthly repayments over the term. Anyone know how the mileage can be...

Hi all Might be a bit of a daft question here but when a site gives you business lease prices, is that the price they actually charge you each month or do they add VAT on that? Just my Ltd is not VAT registered.

Hi all. Coming to the end of my 3 year lease with Zen and I can’t say I’ve been pleased with leasing. Haven’t had any issues with Zen directly, (apart from them wanting to put my monthly payment up 40% for a 12 month extension) but I just don’t see what the attraction is over a PCP! It’s...

Hi all Apologies in advance if this has been covered and answered but nothing cropped up in related discussions. Situation is this, I am a director of my Ltd company, as is my wife. Can I set up salary sacrifice through my own Ltd? Is it worth it? Is it any better than say just a normal...

Hi all My M3P 3 year lease is coming up this July. I contacted Zen and requested a one year extension on my contract. I’ve told them 6000 miles which is what the original contract is based on. My payments are 538 a month yet they’ve just come back to me saying a one year extension on 6000...

Morning all Currently involved in a heated debate with an EV hater, about the subject of EMF in EVs. All started with the video doing the rounds of an LPG conversion car exploding in Korea, which some morons decided to say was an EV! This has then led onto “but EVs are exploding” and “what...

Hi all Have got Spotify Premium and Apple Music both linked in the car. Up until now, if I have a request via voice command along the lines of “play music by…….” the music from said artist would just automatically play. What happens now is it just opens a search result page with songs and...

Hi all, ok here goes Would you buy another Tesla? If yes, then why? If no, then why not? What else would you go for, if not the Tesla? Cheers

Hi all, best wishes for 2023. Ok, had another terrifying incident this evening. Left my daughter in the car with the dog, whilst I popped into the supermarket for literally 5 mins. I left my phone in the car with her and told her to lock the door when I left, just so she was safe. Ok, now as...

Hi everyone Anyone having issues with Apple Music? I’ve got loads of tracks greyed out and then it decides to play 5 second clips of some tracks. It’s really glitchy.

Hi all Just updated the software to 44.25.2 Now don’t have any LTE just shows SOS in the left corner. Tried powering on and off and a two button display reset, issue persists. Anyone had this?

Afternoon all I’ve had a look at a few Octopus threads on here already. Got the email from Octopus this morning, my GO coming to an end in Oct, been given rates for GO, IO (which are the same) and Flexible (cheapest). They’re saying my yearly leccy going from 850 to 2155 (ouch!) Just...

Hi all Tiniest of nicks on the rear spoiler, just below the crease. Heard some saying they’re using the Toyota 070 touch up as a good match. Anyone got any decent ones to use?

Hi all My M3P lease with Zen is up this time next year. They’ve been in touch and said I can extend for a year or hand it back and get a new one if I want. I did push them to see if there was an outright buy the car option but they’ve said no. So, moving on. I’m now trying to weigh up the...

Hi all Wondering if it’s only me that doesn’t like the locking sound on the Model 3? I know you can disable it altogether etc, would just prefer a small beep rather than the horn. Am I just getting old and picky?

Hi all Has anyone worked out yet, how to get the map to auto-zoom like it used to before all these updates? I know for a fact, that if my car was stationary, then the map would zoom right out and would do this also if I was on the motorway at high speeds. The map would auto-zoom in to show...

Hi all My Climate Control has gone AWOL. Was blowing cold air no matter what the temp was set to, even on full blast heat! Went into the SC for 2 days, sensor change out apparently. Few days after that, we’re back to cold/tepid air at best. I’ve literally just set it to 26 degrees there and...

Hi all got a 21 plate loaner here whilst my 20 M3P is in SC for a day or two. Noticed that there’s ambient lights in the front and rear door bins, under the armrests it seems. My M3P doesn’t have these. Anyone else have this?

Hi all Going to change the pollen filters myself, as the SC want 57 quid to do it. Watched a vid on YT from the U.K., looks straightforward to be honest and I know people on here have done it. Question is, what’s everyone using brand wise? Thanks.

Hi all Has anyone else noticed the delay now in viewing Sentry Events or Dashcam? Mine used to be pretty swift but now takes ages to load anything up. The USB 256GB flash drive has worked perfectly up until around V11 coming out. Its been formatted etc but still getting the same delays when...

Hi all Posted on here a while back about my energy consumption in my M3P. Was a great thread with a lot of comments thanks. Been doing some investigating with wh/mi and have noticed a massive difference if I turn off climate altogether. Now I understand of course that using climate would...

Anyone know what these little hatches are under the side skirt?
