    M3P - performance drop-off issue

    Had my M3P over a year now (15k miles) and noticed no drop off in any performance metric other than the normal drop off in acceleration as battery % goes down. Sadly, one thing I would do is buy the LR with performance boost next time. I had 3 punctures last year, all through hitting potholes...

    Wiki Super Heavy/Starship - General Development Discussion

    Thats an impressive set of figures, but there is a lot more to come. SN10's turnaround time was down to around 8 minutes. Hard to see any other company bettering that....

    Elon Musk - SpaceX version

    People forget just how small our little galaxy actually is. This quote might give you an idea : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” ― Douglas...

    Model3 after lockdown

    Here's the uniquely British one I always use when I'm caught out and about. "I'm just driving to Barnard Castle to check my eyesight".... Works every time.

    How NOT to recover a Model 3 Mr AA

    My M3 was flat bedded last week after a call to Tesla Recovery. They craned it straight onto the bed. No dragging required. Phew. I put it into tow mode anyway. Not sure the guy actually knew much about Teslas but luckily he turned up with the right equipment. Maybe Tesla recovery only use...

    Does the M3 need a Snow Mode?

    Living in a rural spot with loads of single track roads (yes that's north Essex) I'm less worried about traction than potholes. After hitting potholes on the A12 and M11 which have cracked the 20inch alloy on my M3P I'm ordering 18 inch replacement wheels and putting CrossClimate tyres on. The...

    Blog Musk Touts ‘Quantum Leap” in Full Self-Driving Performance

    Not sure about the cost of sending an M3 to Mars but I believe there is a Roadster on its way right now...

    Tesla threat or just possibly, a new game player?

    I think in the UK its more of a menace than a threat. Massive. I love the Cybertruck and this looks similar in functionality but its just too big for UK roads. Will go anywhere off road - Wont go through width restrictions. I have a need for a "big" 4x4 but the Rivian is about the biggest...

    FSD / AP Rewrite - turning the corner?

    While I moan about the ability of FSD to even go round a basic tight corner, I accept that its not going to work on our A roads for quite some time. The way forward, as far as I can see, is for FSD to progress to work hands off on motorway type roads. There are fewer variables and edge cases...

    FSD / AP Rewrite - turning the corner?

    Lets hope that there is a big jump in functionality or at least this rewrite is the basis for quick improvements. Unlike a previous poster, my main gripe with FSD at the moment is that is does NOT turn corners. It seems to be so US centric (where roads are all straight and travelling under the...

    Does FSD = hardware upgrades for the life of the car?

    Interesting discussion if a bit heated! As far as I'm concerned, I paid for a car that is FSD capable. Obviously that is sometime in the future, with software improvements. As far as some of you are concerned, once I get the features listed on the website, then software updates with new...

    FSD rewrite will go out on Oct 20 to limited beta

    FSD works perfectly well in the UK (and presumably the rest of the EU) - within limits. FSD, however, is massively US centric. Lots of straight roads. FSD will take a long time to cope with the single track roads that make up 30% of the roads round here - 50 miles from London. Will it reverse...

    Coronavirus

    I think you could do very good business over here in the UK too. We have milder less aggressive but still dangerous cases here. You probably haven't heard about the "The test is in the post" case. It promoted chronic overinflation of numbers which proved difficult to treat. Also, masks are only...

    Coronavirus

    Wow. I think people on this forum have really missed the ball on this one. Your stable genius leader (who would have made a brilliant doctor) has come up with the cure for cancer and you guys just can't see it. Simply stop testing for cancer and you have no cases! Problem solved and what's more...
