Spotify plays when I open any door, including backseat, to get something, and ceases to play on other current device, like household speaker. Sentry mode off at home, pausing finishing driving, etc, makes no difference. An annoyance for over 4 years, no change. I have read many times that it is...

Personal Beef number 3 of 12 regarding why this will never be an every-mans EV. It IS awful that you can’t set a simple start and stop charging time, through the Tesla APP. I do not want to trust some 3rd party APP with my car login information. It has proved impractical for me to micro manage...

Will have to concede then that others have a different experience elsewhere. I do know, if you login to wifi briefly, for say, entertainment reasons, thinking you won’t be on logged in for long, and your way behind current release, Tesla will send you an update faster then a cat on a mouse.

Current Tesla download method allows one to not download, if you don’t want to update atm, by not logging on to wifi. I wouldn’t want updates to be downloaded automatically via Tesla network. It would then be forced, like Microsoft Windows, and that is annoying.

Until the steering wheel disappears, it is unsafe to take your eyes off the road to search the glorified Ipad for wipers, fan, temperature, etc. Tesla has no valid argument here. It is just cost savings at the expense of safety. Love everything else about the car, but doesn’t change this fact...

I used to use the inbuilt audible tone speed warning, set at +10km over limit. Manual drive, just for advice. There is a repeating audio chime for 10 seconds, if the car thinks that it is over whatever you set. The data base is wrong so often, it became a nuisance, and I had to select it off...

An observation for those googling HUD Tesla and interested in Hudway for Tesla. Hudway have been taking peoples pre order money for over two years. Estimated delivery keeps bumping 3-6 months down the road.

Started a thread once posing the question as to whether there was a technical reason we can’t have a simple start time stop time charging option? Went unanswered. I get that there are 3rd party APPS, lots of work arounds, and the way it works is perfect for some. Interesting that you never hear...

Can’t trust it. I honked at a guy backing into me in a parking lot. Checked afterwards, video starts when we are already out, looking at the marks. I checked right after the incident, and hours later. The previous clip ends about 1 minute before. Checked all videos, dash and sentry. Three years...

Flaws in third-party software exposed dozens of Teslas to remote access.. Googled Teslamate. Thus the cold feet remark. Want it, but it is just a nice to have, and don’t know enough not to misconfigure it, as mentioned below in this unverified article...

Q1. Is there a technical reason why Tesla has still not enabled a way to simply allow one to set charging between a start and stop times? All the work arounds take daily guess work and input. I want to charge between 10am-3pm(solar panels, pittance for export), regardless of car % charged. Don’t...

Wow. That is the interaction/useful dashboard display of my dreams. My 3‘s software is like the child that had so much promise, potential, and capability to achieve, but never amounted to any of it. Also like said individual, says will do it tomorrow, but after years of failed promises and...

First visit here in six months. Getting the gist of what’s up. So, Elon has no intentions of allowing on-screen customisation of primary controls we use whilst driving, without autopilot. V11 proves this. This was beaten to death and promised, by him via tweet, after the 2020 Christmas UI major...

None taken. Musk announced “we will have display choices“, in direct response to complaints regarding the major display overhaul. Tesla even walked it back, on the S/X, but not the 3. My beef is as important to me as all the beefs about not delivering on expectations for FSD. Anyway, complaints...
