    The Pub - OT posts and discussions

    I own a Tesla by choice so if I point out what I don't like about it I see no problem in that. I certainly don't have the time or desire to purchase something just for the sake of criticising it. I genuinely like the car and company and would like to see them do excellently. I think they have...

    Wow! It looks good. Probably too expensive to be a Model 3 rival but I wonder how Tesla will fare once competition heats up. They have first mover advantage for a lot of things but I hope they figure out their body build issues soon because the other will eventually catch up with the tech etc.

    4WD doesn't mean you're invincible

    All season should fare ok in these conditions. I lived in conditions much worse than this when younger and couldn't afford two sets of tyres so I drove my Honda civic with all seasons all year round and never had any issues. Driving technique and common sense still required. Not sure how the...

    4WD doesn't mean you're invincible

    Just saw another video of right after this where another guy comes right after the tesla and slides down as well. No attempt by the guy to warn them but just keeps recording and saying they can't stop.

    4WD doesn't mean you're invincible

    Very good education there. I also spent many years in my youth in a Honda Civic in the snow. Can't say how grateful I am although I almost never have need of the skill now.

    4WD doesn't mean you're invincible

    Yes, brakes are the enemy in a situation like this. Stirring and trying to control using the accelerator is what he needed but like you say without experience doing it you'd never think of it.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Thanks for your help Dave, all sorted now. I'll post what the issue was here in case someone else runs into this. I had to edit this string " sudo /usr/local/bin/docker-compose exec....." as it turns out for some reason my docker-compose is not installed there but in /usr/bin/docker-compose...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    This is what I get if I run the script exactly as you've typed it. Can't find a suitable configuration file in this directory or any parent. Are you in the right directory? Supported filenames: docker-compose.yml, docker-compose.yaml

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Thank you @DaveW. It would have been very sad to loose all of that data. 2 days before my laptop had something spilled in it and is gone for repairs. My Home-Assistant and Unifi controller backups are stored locally on there so it's either wait to get the data or start afresh. :( Anyway yes...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Had a failed sd card on my Pi yesterday. Well it didn't fail but got corrupted due to improper shut downs and I decided to just start from scratch. I've reinstalled Teslamate and thanks to @DaveW I had my automated backups going to google drive and have been able to restore my data. I'm now...

    Colmo ceramic key ring

    You don't need cell service to unlock your car if you're within Bluetooth range of the car and have the phone set up as a key. Regarding taping using your phone as an nfc 'card' I was able to get it to work on my 3 but others have reported not being able to do so. I'm not sure if it's the same...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I'm in month 4 and while I don't check it as frequently as when I first set it up I still do check it and usually when I have a question I want resolved. I started out on vultr and moved to a pi mainly because I was being cheap and partially because at the time I was setting up a lot of online...

    Model 3 is getting pedestrian warning noises (AVAS)?

    September 2020, 48.30 and don't have it either. I thought it was a sarcastic post or something isn't adding up.

    Contact From Tesla

    Like you, we ordered ours thorough the NHS via Knowles. Expect most of your contact to come from Tesla. Have Knowles giving you your RN number yet? The date giving you was most likely an estimate as others have said. As suggested, see if you can get your RN number either from Knowles or from...
