It is cat & mouse; absolutely - the difference is Tesla can do what almost no other OEM can - rapid updates to fix security holes. There is a fool-proof way to allow people to disable their cars (you could also just set the speed limiter, already implemented, to zero) if they so choose. There is...

Jesus - that's sobering. Time to glue the connectors in and some other stuff. It took longer to hotwire Metros in the 90s :(

Problem is that there are a ton of cars with MCU2 that have either been upgraded from MCU1, or were of the year where MCU2 started being rolled out - and so thieves won't know until they've smashed the window. If Tesla won't/can't fix this directly, then fine - but give ALL owners more security...

Not sure if this made it here already, but there's a new planning application in for Sheffield Meadowhall Retail Park (NOT the big shopping centre - but 2 mins from it) next to IKEA and Pizza Hut etc. Looks like 18 bays. Will be very handy and, one would assume, spell the end of Tankersley.

How sure are we that this latest issue is MCU1 only? Also, the owners club really need to kick Tesla to fix this - I've long asked for a time-based immobiliser, so you can say, 10pm to 6am or whatever, the car is utterly undrivable. Won't respond to keys, won't do anything.

I met Rod, MD of WB, earlier this year and he confirmed that it was going ahead. As pointed out, planning permission has long been granted (July *last* year!) so they need to get a move on - unless it has been shelved in favour of Ferrybridge or something. In any case, we are seeing Woodall SB...

Another bump with an eBay link, my wife has been nagging me so they need to go. Happy to discuss price and delivery/collection on here but the eBay link has it all. Tesla Model S Arachnid 21" alloy wheels and tyres (new) | eBay Cheers (and sorry for the bump)

Bumping this thread - wheels still available. Price negotiable as they need to go (she who must be obeyed has decreed....)

Wouldn't be a good start for the Tesla-China relationship with GF3. My guess is the Chinese govt will make some exceptions, and you can bet the Tesla China team are already talking to the necessary people in the Communist party. Either way, this trade war is going to get ugly and Trump will lose.

Here in the UK, I got a trade-in valuation from Tesla for my late 2016 facelift S75 with AP1 with 50k miles - cost new £65,000, Tesla offer was £26,500. Selling privately I could get roughly £40,000 for it. So it is clear Tesla don't want the cars back...

We know for a fact that around 4500 orders have been placed so far, possibly more. That is from a reliable Tesla source.

I am on my 3rd MCU (MCU 1, July 2016 car..) and the last one was replaced due to the yellow banding issue which was pretty terrible. Tesla have agreed to replace my screen when the new unit is available - hopefully this year. Good news as my car is about to run out of warranty... I would be...

100%. I use Twitter all the time, but the amount of problems it has created and/or perpetuated is absurd. Leave alone Trump's use of it, and just look at the fake accounts issue. Someone/something has been scraping academic websites for names of Phd holders and professors, creating accounts in...

Hi, sorry for slow reply - yes they are indeed !

Would appreciate the electronic Owners Manual actually working. Latest firmware has broken it entirely - not that I read it, but you know, it is something that should just work...
