I’m having a strange issue with my new Y. First gave it the name Patsy to see the Monty Python Easter egg, then changed to “quietly confident”. The app and car show the correct name but notifications from the app show Patsy, and third party apps such as ABRP also show Patsy. so I think this is...

The S is running HW 2. so not getting any new features really, it is a 90D with unlimited free supercharging, enhanced auto-pilot, air suspension, upgraded sound, winter package, and 105k miles. We don't need the S size anymore and like the look of the Y, but would we miss the S do you think?

Sorry! Didn't see this message before I exchanged today. My impression though is the leather is a bit more luxurious (I.e. Thicker and more comfortable) - maybe new car syndrome though! Certainly the leather on the steering wheel is thicker and the heated steering wheel more effective (used to...

I took about £16k depreciation on 30,000 miles (plus all wheels were kerbed - really struggle with the width of the car and the way the tyres don't protect the wheels - nightmare in London car parks!) Also got a good deal on the new one, made the cut for the free Supercharging and before the...

It exactly the same spec except for the addition of the sound upgrade. That includes air suspension, cold weather, sunroof, 21in wheels, next gen seats. So if anyone wants me to take any photos or make any notes to compare the two cars let me know before Thursday and I'll do it :) Cheers Ian

I understand that the rear camera on AP2 is now heated - so that should help a bit :)

I went to look at my new AP2 car yesterday (currently have a 2015 AP1) - the sales chap said one of the things that has been improved is the sensitivity of the sensors used for parking, so I guess that is it...

The most natural "Next Level" announcement for part 2 would be enhancements in Autopilot. And I think it could be on the way to fully autonomous, certainly I think they can make the technology to do it. Regulatory and legal questions remain though.

Be careful not to put more on one side of the car than the other though because then you'll just go in circles!

That's impressive! I expect the UK is at the start of that curve, would love to see the data though.

You are right, it is such a different experience. I find I am very relaxed, and wondering why everyone else seems to want to accelerate and decelerate and nip in and out of lanes.... (though come to think of it, that was me all of two weeks ago in a Porsche!). It almost feels like an out of...

put both on my phone. Key crashes every time I tap any button, and info ever time it starts :(

Good question - I'm not sure myself in it's current version. However it represents something bigger and a move towards more autonomy, and without this first baby step, we could be at a dead end. The vision of "summoning" your car from your bed (or automatically from your calendar), so it is...

Thanks Andy - I'll give that a try.

Tesla Gatwick gave me a weekend test drive of a 70D (picked up on Friday night and returned Monday am) - even included a ChaDeMo cable and network card because we were going to Norfolk (no superchargers there yet). This was following a shorter test drive, and after they had sent me finance...
