    Safe to install software update?

    Hi folks. I haven't been keeping up with the forums in a long time. I've got a '17 Model X 90D in the UK. It's running version 2023.6.8 ca519fc096f3, and I've not updated the software in a long time in case my ultrasonic sensors get disabled, like radar did for Autopilot. Does anyone know if...

    Free supercharging transfer

    I don't know, I thankfully never got FSD. They only mentioned supercharging on the phone to me. If I speak to them again, I can ask. Ha, ours is our 2013 Renault Zoe that now does about 60 miles on a full charge and in which the heating does not work. Not fun for the school run at this time of...

    Free supercharging transfer

    Tesla are offering an overnight test drive thingy, so I might give that a go out of curiosity if nothing else. It's been so long since I seriously considered the MYP that I'm not sure what things I'd miss about the MX. I'm sure there'd be some.

    Free supercharging transfer

    Hmm, I hadn't thought about the suspension. My eldest is now 14 and would rather be seen dead than getting out of the falcon-wing doors. They're kinda fun and cool, but a bit of a pain in the arse when you want to get going quickly or someone presses a button when they shouldn't have. When we...

    Free supercharging transfer

    I saw some threads about this from US posters, but I just got a call from Tesla Gatwick offering to transfer free supercharging to a new vehicle. I'm not keen on a MYP with no ultrasonics, no radar, no premium connectivity, and ChuckleVision, but this is the first time I've even thought about...

    Charging at 34kW from 26miles charge to 126miles.

    I gave up charging at Dartford, and went 20ish miles down the road to Maidstone (contender for the worst supercharger in the UK?). I once again started at 35kW on a shared V2, but after at least 20 minutes it got up to 65kW. I'm hoping that means it was just an issue at Dartford, and not with...

    Charging at 34kW from 26miles charge to 126miles.

    Looking at your postcode, this wouldn't be the Dartford supercharger, would it? I'm there now in my MX90D after a service, and I'm only getting 34kW despite the battery being at 50%. Normally I'd be expecting it to be charging with full force. I've tried two separate stalls and got the same...

    Have you lost faith in Tesla?

    Unfavourably! 🤣

    Have you lost faith in Tesla?

    I haven't been on here in months, but just came back to ask for some advice about a repair that my MX needs. I thought I'd just put a post script on this thread after having read the Walter Isaacson biography of Elon Musk. A lot of the things that I read in the book confirmed some of my...

    CV boot/gaiter needs replacing?

    Has anyone else had an outer CV boot/gaiter on the front off-side replaced? When having the front tyres replaced, folks at the garage observed that there was a lot of grease around the CV boot, and suggested that maybe it had cracked. I saw there was a similar thread about a MYLR. Tesla are...

    Flimwell Supercharger - new parking fee?

    What an absolute bunch of dog-joggers. I used to go there whilst my eldest was doing gymnastics nearby. She's stopped going, so I'm unlikely to visit Flimwell any time soon, but in the last year I've saved about £1,600 on charging with a combination of free supercharging and local free...

    Windscreen crack

    Following advice on here, I called Direct Line, and their automated system then sent me an SMS with a link to the Autoglass booking system. It presumably was a custom front-end, and it had the Direct Line logo on. Autoglass came out a few hours later to repair it, which luckily went smoothly...

    Windscreen crack

    I've got a bit of an impact-crack in the front-left of my Model X windscreen. It's two cracks at about a 135 degree angle, 1cm long on each side of the centre. Autoglass will repair it for £210 or thereabouts. The excess on my Direct Line policy is £25. Autoglass are Direct Line's preferred...

    Premium Connectivity and Spotify is a joke

    Yep, exactly right, and I misunderstood this for years despite doing quite a lot with computers and networks. Signal strength is, well, the signal strength. What that doesn't tell you is how much available bandwidth the network has between you and the nearest mast. A bit like in the olden days...

    Premium Connectivity and Spotify is a joke

    Is it necessary to be so snippy with our American chums? Firstly, they may end up in threads like these entirely by accident by just reviewing "latest posts" and not diving into particular forums. Second, it's of some use to know that features work in some circumstances, therefore they're not...
