    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    Just to confirm, based on a short drive this morning, after the update 2023.6.8, it seems my issue is also resolved- I will still monitor to make sure the recent warm weather is not also a contributor.

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    I share exactly the same experience with you both. However despite all this, in my case virtual service team and SC think that the steering rack needs to be replaced (part ready) funnily enough prior to the proper check/diagnosis booked for the next couple of weeks. In the meantime I shall see...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    Thanks! 👍 Hope all goes well... I think if it was problem which could be resolved via software update, perhaps Tesla would be focusing on this and delay or avoid steering rack replacements - perhaps SR replacement is the ultimate solution. The other day I had to use defrost mode at the highest...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    It is really getting confusing for me…by the looks of it they are aware of the problem because they say so and furthermore they claim they are working on the solution (software update???) but at the same time they are asking people to report to escalate up the chain, they are replacing or...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    While still waiting for my next SC appointment on this issue, I received a Tesla message informing me that they had ordered the part, expect to be ready by then and an email asking me to review & accept the service estimate which btw doesn’t include wheel alignment after all that🙄. I find it...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    good luck-Would be interested to hear how it goes. I had a few long journeys this weekend and noticed a big difference especially on motorway. My experience was that the lane keeping on motorway was dead straight but, the steering was very clunky ie the steering wheel felt as if it only wanted...

    M3 LR Steering wheel feels funny

    I agree with your comments. One issue I find hard to accept is that they promoted the vehicles as future proof in terms of hardware related to FSD-if the chip business is as we understand, then clearly we are short changed and they misrepresented the specs / future capability. The resale value...

    Sudden sound / volume spike while transitioning from Media/YouTube to Radio / FM

    Good to know👍 Considering the fact that there is even a “Joe” mode for sensitive 👂 yes it does cause anxiety not to mention the kids, especially when not expected.

    Sudden sound / volume spike while transitioning from Media/YouTube to Radio / FM

    From day one, I get a sudden and almost deafening volume spike when I transition from a YouTube video to the radio on my MY. Had it checked at the SC and they confirmed the issue but they stated that it is something to do with the different transmissions ie one is radio and the other is over the...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    MYsep22 - Have the same issue - haptic / mouse scroll button like notchy feel at low speed steering or when stationary - which started a couple of weeks ago, around the time when we had the steering wheel heating adjustment added via the latest software (I think?). Over the phone I was told it...

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    Further to add on to my public charging experience; on one occasion we couldn’t find a Shell Recharge Station (in South Devon with 16 chargers), even after checking with the locals including other EV drivers in the neighbourhood, despite it appearing on both Google Maps and other charging app...

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    Done about 1.3K miles since mid September some of which were long trips. In total average 275wh/mi. Overall very pleased with the MY and looking for every opportunity excuse to drive around. We seem to spend more time out and about after getting this car ☺️. I did a few supercharging during the...

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    Didn’t know that - have you managed to book yours to be replaced? I may need to add it onto my SC items list. In that case there are potentially thousands of cars for SC visit because every single vehicle I checked during my collection day had this issue. Thanks for the heads up!
