So I wonder if it is possible to sell my car's FSD capability at a reduced price to someone buying a new Tesla? That seems to be the only way to retrieve the money I spent four years ago for a function that remains a distant prospect in France.. Or I could put the money earned from the sale...

Sorry @Dazboj you are right, I was getting you confused with someone from a Facebook forum! I actually registered my car in France after the end of the withdrawal period (we moved here in protest at Brexit and all the attendant effects on Britain's body politic). Fortunately I had little...

Following our DM conversation you might be interested to know that when I was driving in the fog yesterday I noticed two French cars with their rear foglight on and both were on opposite sides! So it may not be an issue after all.

Two years later I am still driving with RHD headlights adjusted to point downwards and only occasionally getting flashed.

Interesting -- I presume that you have the newer metric headlights.

Thanks -- that's exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. I will look into it. FWIW my winter tyres were fine when I put them away (I had occasion to inspect them in detail after spending a lot of time getting the bits of gravel out of the treads!)..

After changing to my summer tyre/wheels (Michelin Pilot) I have noticed a slight "vibrant/swishing" sound from one or more of the wheels on the motorway. There is no steering wheel vibration or any kind of vibration that I can feel. The wheel cover is securely fitted. Might one of my rear wheels...

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the aesthetic impact of allowing other brands into SuCs. Who doesn't love the elegant unified effect of a row of streamlined, near-identical cars lined up to feed, in a limited range of colours, all parked the same way? Just think of the chaos as cars of all...

Since the latest UI update I have noticed the reversing screen is now frequently juddering or freezing for maybe a second while reversing. This is somewhat disconcerting : the net effect is to slow my reversing down considerably to avoid unseen hazards otherwise out of view in the mirror. I...

That does seem very small. Shortly after having a slightly larger chip repaired I was amazed to find the entire screen pockmarked with even tinier chips at about 150 cm intervals that are visible in the sun but not otherwise. Around that time I had had a period of very frequent long Automate...

This is related also to the contrast between the excessive complexity of every other prestige interior, designed to demonstrate how much you are getting for your money, and the blessed simplicity of the M3.

Je prévois que lorsque ma Model 3 RHD devra finalement subir son Controle Technique, il me sera peut-être demandé d'intervertir les positions du feu de recul arrière et des feux de brouillard arrière, car ils sont bien sûr du côté opposé au LHD. Est-ce que cela risque d'être un processus coûteux...

Since moving to France from the UK I have rarely suffered from phantom-braking events, thanks I think to the spacious much emptier autoroutes. However I have recently experienced disturbing events when pulling back in from the fast lane to the middle lane while a truck is in the slow lane. What...

An account of some of the few moving parts on a Tesla, which make an ICE by contrast look ridiculously complicated...

First thing I did with my bike rack..!
