My car has only dry wiped a handful times in two years. Also struggles a little with very light rain, but then pushing the button once in a while isn't much hassle. It is currently in getting fixed, the loan car is a complete disaster when it comes to wipers. Basically useless. How can it be...

I just claimed against Churchill for some debris damage, exactly the same Veetec and Auxillis. But my cover should give me a same size car. Guess will see what happens.

Ok so this is odd, I disabled the AP Beta the other day in the menu and within 30seconds got my first phantom brake this year. Does TACC use the old stack? I enabled AP (sadly had to do it whilst parked) and it's been fine since. So if you want to use TACC make sure AP Beta is enabled maybe?!?

It shouldn't be stopping like that. Tesla wall charger here and I have twice seen messages about charging interrupted, but it has always resolved itself. I use: Preconditioning with a departure time and Off-Peak charge to ensure it charges as close to departure as possible, as this will also...

I prefer the 'radio' behaviour. I switched to Spotify at home as it's a nice way to find new (to me) music.

When returning home in the car I just have an event for when car returns to home, then it waits for the car door to go from locked to unlocked. It's always unlocked when I get to the door. For people they need the home assistant app and I have it trigger when they return home and it waits for...

I have this and have it connected to my free automation software Home assistant. My door unlocks itself when the car or a family member arrives home.

It all comes down to How much steering is required, if it is like the current car then I imagine will be a complete pita on small roundabouts

Yeah same reason I got mine, epic car for the money.

For me things are better since the switch to vision. Only issues: I have to check the windscreen over the camera is clean or it will endlessly try to clean the dirt/bugs. It still likes to exit A roads all by itself. (These are not officially supported). Stop start traffic is a little more...

This is what I was told when I tried to register.

The weight of my arm is normally enough, you don't have to actually turn the wheel. I generally just put my weight on the right side, although direction of weight is unimportant and not related to the direction you wish the car to go in. I.e. just hang my right arm by the thumb

It's because we tied the cost of renewable electricity to the price of gas

For me it was worth it for the lane changing. I haven't had phantom breaking since the move to vision. I assume AP is the same. As for summon, I use it sometimes just to pull into/out off a tight parking space.

My HVAC blows cold from time to time, around the knees. I had thought it was connected to preconditioning, maybe stealing some cabin heat to warm the battery.
