I received an email from TeslaFi a few hours ago that 2024.14.9 was detected on a Model 3 in France and then about 45 minutes ago got an email and push notification that it was downloading to our Model 3. And just got an email from TeslaFi that 2014.14.11 was detected as waiting for WiFi to...

I hate to say it, but given the number of vehicles on a transport ship and the speed at which they unload, if there is a procedure for cleaning/wiping/de-griming, the likelihood they would single out a particular vehicle during the unloading and moving to the collection area is low. With both...

That seems to be somewhat unique to orders placed in the USA. I looked back and neither our M3P nor MYLR orders (from 2017 and 2022 respectively) have an arbitration clause. I say "somewhat" because our 2019 Cybertruck order does curiously have the arbitration clause. Please no jabs that we...

Yes, if Octo-Aid can access it then there must be other ways.

Do you have the Octo-Aid app? I'm fairly sure you can check in the app.

Our MYLR updated to 14.8 from 8.9 two days ago.

The Tesla implementation does seem pretty good, although with it staying light out late at present I've yet to have much experience with them. I recall some years back when matrix lights were a new thing I was driving down an otherwise empty unlit country lane with a car close behind. Somehow...

I'd like to think I'd opt for 1, 3, 2. Hopefully I will never need to find out!

Foam lined tyres are not specific to only Tesla. It may require an extra few minutes to cut out the foam in the puncture location but provided the puncture is otherwise repairable the existence of the foam lining does not render the tyre un-repairable. I suggest phoning around and am confident...

And we're back to the Trolley Problem/thought experiment. This message board likes to do full circles....

That is pretty definitive. Our GPS is generally pretty good but I can't say I've never seen it wander to a nearby roadway sometimes. Be interested to hear if whatever fix Tesla does improves yours.

That could very well be the cause. It doesn't make it any more acceptable but I suppose knowing what might trigger it could help in anticipating scenarios when it may happen. Skittishness around cars in adjoining lanes seems to be another one from my reading here. Tesla must work to make this...

Whilst not something we have yet experienced (we very rarely use any of the AP stuff), that sounds terrifying. Just so I know what to expect, is it true "emergency braking"? To me that is full on, triggering ABS type of braking. Or is it a rapid deceleration from say 70MPH to 50MPH? Neither...

I’m probably misunderstanding but are you saying your car automatically turns on the fog lights when needed? On our cars the fog lights need to be turned on and off manually.

We were on 2024.8.9 prior to the 14.8 update earlier today. I won’t be using the car until tomorrow but I certainly hope it upgraded properly.

There may be another wave of updates. 2024.14.8 installing on our 2022 MYLR now as well.

Yup, I’m fully aware.

I'm hoping not to need it but it gives us peace of mind. We plan to keep our cars for the long term and having warranty coverage is worth it to us. (I understand there are exclusions to the coverage.)

I have rarely needed any service. With that caveat I use my normal home address and in the comment field can't you request a particular location? I have only had mobile service so perhaps it's different. I doubt anyone will change your mind!

Tessie certainly looks expensive for new subscribers. TeslaFi at US$50 per year per car now almost seems a good value. Teslamate has also been an excellent self-hosted option but I've found it quite fiddly and requires more management than my IT skills care to babysit. YMMV

I’ve yet to find an insurance company willing to even quote on either of our Tesla for our 22 year old (with his own 5 year no claim history on his car). This includes for short-term cover. Have you done this?

I can only imagine the conversation when getting insurance quotes and answering the modifications questions...

Can’t help but wonder if some enterprising independent repair shop could pick up a few on the cheap for spare parts down the line? Sooner or later people may be desperate for parts.

Where did you get that from?

I was of course being somewhat tongue in cheek and am a big believer that all data is good data. It just seemed a lot of passion over a small thing. Knowing when brake regeneration is reduced is important but when the battery is cold or regen reduced because the charge level is high the car...

It would be good and a sign that other players plan to develop more charging networks. It is needed.

Unlikely...

I must be missing something quite vital to operating our cars -- the regen line is something I always felt was a bit of a gimmick but clearly a lot of people find it critical information. Reminder to self: pay close attention to regen indication line...

Be nice, he stated he was speaking of the law in the US. As a retired dual-qualified lawyer (NY, NJ and England), while not my area of expertise, I don't believe the laws are materially different on this one. What did he say that was incorrect?

Our 2019 M3 has benefitted from quite a large number of new things not present in 2019. If it won't get a mostly pointless additional display feature I don't feel aggrieved. In the latest update all the additions that to me are worthwhile appear to be there. I get your point and don't...

Our 2019 M3P was on 2024.8.9 and got the 2024.15.6 update last night (car has FSD). Our 2022 MYLR is currently on 2024.8.9 and not yet offered the update (car has EAP).

I know I'm in the minority but on our USS-equipped cars we find EAP has value. Is it worth the full price Tesla charges? Irrelevant to me because it costs what it costs and we like some of the added features it comes with. So, if I were buying a previously owned Model 3 or Y with USS, I would...

Not overly helpful so my apologies. I bought a set of 5 (to have one spare) two years ago from Ali Express. The ones in my profile pic. The price was not much off the £250 you are seeing. The seller no longer seems to have them so I can't provide a link. Just saying if the ones you found on...

I understand your view and you are likely in the overwhelming majority, but we happily paid for EAP on our 2022 MYLR (we have FSD on the 2019 M3P but at that time EAP was not an option and pricing was lower). On cars with USS at least (the only ones I have personally experienced) we find some...

*Sold*

I never defended the action. Just think the prognostications of the end of the Supercharger network might be premature.

Only time will tell. But having wasted too much time following the progression in the US on YouTube, I certainly wish we had what they have there. And the rate of improvement since the release of V12 to me is quite encouraging.

I think you should go back and re-read the communication Tesla supposedly sent out as reported in Electrek. To my reading it was not a statement that all new sites were on permanent hold (ie canceled) but on a temporary pause. Not singling you out but once again the alarmists have gone all in...

The reason why *could* be more nuanced than simply increased sales. Having more cars using it may be a means to that in a quicker timeframe.

The existence of the Octopus Energy Tracker tariff for gas was one of the several excellent things I learned of from this site and has saved us a significant amount over the past year.

Suddenly seemingly all of America has jumped into this thread.

Not certain because we don’t have a new M3 but does your phone need to support UWB Bluetooth?

Sounds on the higher side but it all depends on the complexity of the installation (distance from consumer unit or main incoming supply, etc). As to the pen fault detection unit best to ask the installer.

Indeed it was you. Sorry, I had a senior moment and was too lazy to look back at old posts to see who gave this very helpful recommendation. I have made a note of the updated recommendation -- he was/is truly excellent! It is probably long overdue that we have the brakes fully checked and...

It might be worth seeking a local independent to do this. Quite some time ago someone on here recommended Blackboots in Chesham for alignment. We were curious about our M3P and had it checked. Very professional and knowledgeable and they confirmed alignment was good and refused to charge us...

I get that Elon is a polarising person, but my hate or otherwise for him doesn't cloud my enjoyment of our Tesla vehicles. The SC network was a differentiating factor during the infancy of EV adoption but once they began opening the network to other brands it was clear the general direction was...

I totally agree and welcome a future with multiple autonomous driving systems. I just couldn't find an abundance of credible sources reviewing systems that are better than the Tesla one. I'm not saying the Tesla one is particularly good.

I paid for ours on 23rd April (2024). (I obviously bought well before our original warranty expires but was happy with the cost and wanted to secure it in case it gets dropped again like they did with Helvetia.)

Indeed. Good news.

Can you point me to any information about these? I’m genuinely interested in reading more about all systems in the market.
