Hi
Does anyone know what's going with the service centre in Edinburgh?

I bought my 2022 M3LR on the 23rd of April.

Noticed a few issues so logged them in tbe app.

Mobile appointment comes back as the 2nd of April.

Pretty good I though! On the 1st they rescheduled to the 11th due to staff shortages.

On the 11th no one turns up and no one responds to my messages in the app. I call the national service number the following day. They look in to it and I get a message in the app late Friday apologising saying they will rebook ASAP.

A week later I'm still chasing to get rescheduled. Eventually I get a call saying the soonest they can do is the 10th of may.

I tell them I'm away at that time and back on the 14th. I'm told I will need to reschedule from the 10th in the app as they have already booked it in.


So now I've just tried to reschedule. I put my address in and select first date it gives me, except it keeps booking me in to Tesla Belfast and it's not possible to book a mobile service again. So, I called tesla again and now I'm told that the soonest date is the 23rd of May.

So that's 6 weeks from an appointment they missed.

Coming from a Kona EV I can't believe how poor the service is in comparison.

Is this considered 'normal'?

It's incredibly frustrating.

Thank

I recently had my model y vinyl wrapped and now the front parking sensors are no longer working. The back sensors still work.

From looking online, some people are saying to cut around the front sensors on the bumper. What exactly does that mean? Do I leave the vinyl on inside of the circle, and just trace around the outer edge of the circle?

It's strange how some people have their car wrapped and don't have any issues, and some do.

Weet er iemand of er nog meer verschillen zijn dan dit ???

- aandrijflijn en motoren (duh)
- carbon interieur en carbon buitenspoiler voor de plaid
- high performance remmen voor de plaid (whatever that means), dit zijn niet de remmen voor de max. snelheid >300kph
- betere sportzetels (net aangekondigd denk ik)

Ben net gaan testrijden met een nieuwe plaid om het verschil te voelen met mijn 2017 100D.
Geen fan van de Yoke (zeker op een rond punt), ook niet van de richtingsaanwijzers met de knoppen (heb tijdens 1 uur testrit zeker een paar keer dubbel moeten drukken en niet omdat ik er naast drukte). Carrosserie maakt wel minder lawaai, acceleratie is waanzin. Scherm is prima en supersnel. De testwagen was wel beperkt tot 140kph.

Nu nog testrit met de Taycan2 4s+ en de i5-M60...

Sorry, question that looks like it’s probably been asked to death but hopefully not the usual question(s).

My M3LR goes back soon and I always planned on getting an MY after. Not bothered about waiting for the potential refresh, would rather have stalks, etc.
So quotes from salary sacrifice lease company are really high - significantly more than M3H even. A PCP (or even PCH & HP) through Tesla direct is significantly cheaper, assuming due to the low APR, so I’m tempted to go down this route.

However, is there anything else I need to consider when comparing the overall costs? I’m comparing net monthly payments on SS, I don’t have insurance through them as it’s cheaper to arrange it myself. The only other thing included is servicing/maintenance and tyres. Only needed 2 new tyres over 4 years on my M3LR and obviously minimal servicing so feels like they’re not a big deal. I am repaying a student loan so going private would increase those repayments, potentially to more than I’d save which is the only thing that’s got me thinking. Is there anything else?

TIA

Just wanted to share my experience with a 2024 Model 3 SR that I left at a park and fly for about a week with sentry mode on.
I had about 220-230 miles of range when I parked it and I didn't check it until the day before we came back from vacation which is about 6 days.
To my surprise, I only had 80 miles of range left. I turned off sentry mode and checked it the next day and it was down to 78 miles.
I feel like sentry mode used up an excessive amount of range, more than what my Model Y drained while sitting parked for a week at a park and fly.
I don't know if it's the LFP battery or if it's something else but just wanted to share with everyone.

I’m deliberating to get a home charger £840 podpoint installed

I probably only do 8000 miles a year if that, i went to a super charger it cost me £21 so probably 2 years before I would break even

I have been offered a gen 3 Tesla charger for £90 and then I presume around £400 for a leccy to fit not sure which way to jump any advice please

Will refund price change after the purchase. I have purchased few months back and now price is reduced 8k. This is a reduction of more than 10%. Not fair at all. Anyone knows anything or share on next steps. Thank you

I have had enough experience now with FSD 12 to say that in my opinion, I believe Ashok is correct:

Login to view embedded media
I would also stress we are at the beginning of the end. That is, we will hopefully now start to see significant improvement with the "known FSD issues" and "corner case disengagements" with every major FSD release. "The end" (level 3 /4 autonomy within a wide Operational Design Domain (ODD)) is almost certainly year+ away. I'd like to document, just from one consistent anecdotal use case that can be repeated over time, where we are "starting from."

I will be driving a 90ish mile (2-3 hrs) "loop" under FSD to cover a range of driving scenarios. (Mileage is approximate):

For privacy reasons, there are about 15 miles in my loop that are not included in the link above that takes me to/from my actual home.



Here is a Link to inspect the route in detail

This route takes me from NJ Suburbs into and out of Manhattan (NYC) and includes approximately:

• 10 Miles Suburban driving
• 65 Miles "limited access highway" driving (This should be using the FSD 'highway stack' which is not the same as the FSD 12 stack)
  • includes interchanges
  • Includes Tolls
  • Includes Tunnel
• 8 miles of other "highway type driving", (will probably fall under the FSD 12 stack)
• 6 miles of dense city driving...including areas around Times Square, Rockefeller center, etc which will have dense vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

I will not be recording with a phone or anything like that. However I will try and save dashcam footage of anything notable.

I will report on:

1. Interventions (Accelerator presses, particularly if safety related)
2. Disengagements (comfort or safety related)
3. Overall impressions

As we know Version 12.3.x does not support...(but will need to in the future):

1. Smart Summon or "Banish"..so what I call the "first 100 yards and final 100 yards" is not available to test. (Drop offs / pick-ups).
2. "Reversing" while on FSD is not yet supported

Finally, there are what I would say 2 well documented "comfort / safety" issues with FSD 12.3.x that I have also experienced regularly first hand:

1. "Lane Selection Wobble"...for example, approaching an intersection where the single driving lane splits into multiple lanes (turning vs. straight)...FSD may act "indecisively"
2. Unprotected turn (stop sign) behavior. Notably: stops early....then creeps. If no cars detected it may creeps into intersection instead of "just going". Further, if it has creeped into the intersection, THEN detects a car approaching, it may still hesitate and require intervention (accelerator press) to get it going.

In addition to those two consistent issues, I expect to encounter some issues related to routing, and any number of other 'corner case' issues. All things that will ultimately need to be handled, but we expect to see dealt with as we progress though the "March of 9s"...toward the "end of the end".

Although I have driven FSD regularly over the past 3 weeks...I have yet to take it into NYC.

Vehicle: Refresh Model S (2023), Vision Only, HW4. First test will be using:
Firmware version: 11.1 (2024.3.15)
FSD Version: 12.3.4

So...there's the set-up. I expect later today to drive the first loop.

So I made an order for a Tesla model y long range 2021 seemed like a good deal with the price… but you know teslas horrible policy of not seeing the car until you get to delivery day. So I went yesterday and if they would have shown pictures I would have never reserved this car lol. I’m trying to figure out what I can and cannot fix on this car to see if I should take delivery of it. They let me walk away for a few days so they can reach out to used sales about a few of the concerns. First is the seat stains. There is a seat stain where a car seat was sitting. It’s like an orange ring all the way around the person I talked to said it’s likely in spec I just want to know if there’s a possible fix for this or not. Next the head liner in the back looks like their kids hit it with marker colored pencil or crayon. I don’t know if this can be cleaned or not if not what is the price of a new liner? Again was told likely in spec. Then there was a nasty smell that came from the air vents I’ve heard of this smell with Teslas before but I never imagined it would be this bad? Is there a remedy to this? The charging pad is caked in some nasty *sugar* I know I could just get a cover for it for a few bucks but looking to see if there’s a way to restore it or not. There’s lotion or something sprayed inside the center console I can live with I guess but if someone has an idea about how to get rid of that? The advisor tried telling me this is one of the best used teslas he has seen and I kind of told him he is full of *sugar* because the one I bought 8 months ago was worlds better than this. Are my expectations too high?

So Tesla have decided to make their cars more affordable around the planet.

Except for us idiots in the UK. Who are currently paying nearly £5K more for an entry model 3 than they do in Germany.

Oh and the cherry on top is higher finance interest rates.

I love the cars, but this 'take customers for fools' policy Tesla UK is pursuing is beginning to really annoy me.

It's a free market buy something else is the normal retort to the above complaint. Sadly I've yet to find a viable alternative when factoring in range, efficiency, tech etc etc.

Sigh !!

Front under tray half came off. AA did a temporary repair but said I need a new one. Anyone know what Tesla now charging for this or if no charge because of design issue that I’ve read about? Have put a service request in and waiting for response.
TIA

I don't do that many long journeys with the Satnav but am I getting forgetful or has something changed at some point?
Did a long motorway/dual carriage way journey at the weekend and the car was constantly telling me to "keep right" when passing slip roads. I did not need to "keep right" I just needed to not move left and take the exit.

If the road is splitting and the left most lane(s) are going a different way to me then this makes perfect sense and is a useful direction, even though the car seems to know what lane I am in.
BUT
if like the vast majority of exits the existing carriageways are going to continue on and the exit requires me to move over to a dedicated exit slip road then this instruction is completely superfluous and rather annoying.
There is no other equivalent I am aware of. The car does not tell me to carry straight on every time I pass a side road or say "not this one" for every exit before mine on a roundabout So why is it effectively telling me to not take the next exit every time an exit approaches on the motorway?

Morning all,

I have a genuine Tesla Model Y Tow ball, and find when fitting bike racks to it they don't clamp fully. I know I read previously on a thread on here that the ball size was slightly smaller then standard UK size and as such you could get various shims for it.
I now can't find the thread in question. Has anyone else had similar issues, bought a shim (if so which one), or remembers reading the same thread?

Cheers

Stephen

Seems that a reasonable argument could be made that the company is in crisis. Would like to hear your thoughts. Consider the following:

• missed quarterly earnings,
• declining quarterly sales,
• dramatically increasing Chinese competition,
• best selling Model Y long in the tooth,
• Model Two on hold,
• Cybertruck recall,
• largest layoff in company history,
• controversial CEO pay package in the headlines,
• share value declining,
• senior execs departing,
• "bet the company" robotaxi gamble.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Y and am rooting for Tesla. Not suggesting the company's going away but that the future is unclear, the company at a crossroads. Your thoughts?

Hello,

I picked up my 2022 Tesla Model X from local Tesla store and noticed lots of issues in the car.

1. Door frame was unattached properly
2. Front under bumper were scratched pretty obvious (it looks like it was damaged from unloading from the trailer)
3. Cup opener won’t open.
4. Door seals (both front door) are loosen
5. 
6. Steeling wheel is peeling … and more
7. 
   
   
8. I really want to like the car but it really does not make sense for me to pay more than $80k for a car needs to be repaired. It there any way I can return the car which should passed their 102 point inspections but it does not ? Please help….

Right now I don’t have permission to operate or export and I do not need the grid at all with my powerwall 3 and my solar production which for the next six months will be the same almost every day. I have only 10 panels and only require 10 kW a day on average and even when I use the air conditioner in the summer between my power wall and solar production I should be fine. Winter will be a different story.

If I am forced to use a time of use plan I’m assuming it’s going to force me to take from the grid at certain times of the day even though I don’t need it, based on what I’ve seen.

I know I ask a lot of questions and start a lot of threads I apologize, but this is a big one for me because I don’t know what to do when I get the permission.


Thanks

i just bought through the app fsd upgrade for 2000 usd. will i get free upgrade to mcu2 and autopilot hw 3.0? i did not get any message on options for upgrading hardware. one of the thread says if i upgrade mCU2 I will get FSD. Do you guys think I should have done that?

Got home from vacation to find the cable of my home wall connector out of place and all weirdly mounted.

I know I could check my next electricity bill, but is there any other I can see if someone was charging?

I opened the Tesla app and went to My Home > Charge History, but only saw my car’s history there. However, I wonder if that’s because it’s the app on “my” phone.

Does anyone know if the charge history is all knowing, for lack of a better word?

A decent review by one of the greatest car reviewers. Loads of good points and I think the bad points are quite fair to be honest.

I noticed yesterday that the 'access controls' for the Tesla wall connector are now visible in the Tesla app (on iOS at least) rather than just being hidden away on the installer browser page. A useful addition to the app I think! I've now limited mine to only my own car, just in case anybody gets any ideas trying to nab a free bit of juice on my driveway!

For those who may be interested, it didn't interfere with my usual intelligent octopus charge last night after adding that restriction, not that it should have caused any issues.

As per topic - car location on MAP is way off - by few meters.

It causes, wehn ob AP to think that it is on 30 or 50 mph road and phantom break.

Any way to report map issue or perfor recalibration?

Picking my son and 3 of his friends up from Gatwick yesterday. Had been a bit out during the day so car charge was down a bit and while plugged in at home it didn't quite get to a level I wanted it before I had to leave. Technically I should have been able to make the trip there and back with 8% spare at the start.

So off I go and figure don't want to run it so close so I'll try the new Gridserve with 4 Tesla chargers as I could give it a 5 - 10 quick boost, buy a coffee and all I'd need. Punch this into the nav and use 4% of the battery in preheating. I get there to find our car no longer DC charges. We got it back a week ago from a body shop for a dent someone put into a door in parking lot plus getting rims sorted. Guessing they disconnected the HV battery and maybe haven't plugged something back in. Tried 2 Tesla chargers (One of which saw another Tesla charging on OK) and 2 of the other non-Tesla chargers and none worked.

So burned 4% pre-heating. Car says now I should get home with 4% so I normally trust that to be pretty accurate. Picked everyone up and decided to go 60 instead of 70 to be on the safe side anyway...

That was not enough, about 2 miles in my arrival dropped from 4% to 3, another 2 miles roughly and my arrival was 2%, clearly seemed wasn't going to make to so dropped further down to 55mph. That seemed to do the trick. And it got up to 3% and seemed to stay there the whole time.

A few points from this:

1. Tesla range estimations on battery arrival are amazingly accurate but it cannot of course account for you adding 4 more adults and all their luggage in before you set off. That extra weight in a Model 3 makes a massive difference. I had to go at 55mph to get the efficiency I'd have got with just me in the car at 70mph.

2. If you've had the car in a garage, even if it's just a dent. I guess they disconnect the battery for safety reasons, check both AC and DC charging before you need to use it in anger.

3. Was planning on being a two EV household but has made me wobble a little that maybe one car still needs to be an ICE or PHEV. Yes they can break down but as long as running you can probably always put fuel in the tank. Distance I did yesterday would be about 1/3rd a tank of diesel.

4. Going 55mph in a motorway is the slowest I've ever done. Hope I don't have to crawl home like that again. It's unfitting for a Model 3 Performance.

Had anyone changed there glove box door? I have scratches on the door that are visible and annoying. Had anyone had this issue and replaced their door. I'm interested in how people may have resolved this?
