Exactly, thats why I was spurred on to "solve the problem"! The highest speed I went up to was a blip to 65mph, but an average of 25mph, and it was totally solid and secure etc. It probably effected my efficiency a little bit though! FYI, I got 101% Efficiency, at 219 Wh/mi. 13.40 kWh used...

I wanted to use my Model 3 as a lead vehicle in a cycle road race this weekend, but the signage stuff was all magnetic (not suction cups) so I needed to create a bespoke magnet/glass interface ;-) This is what I built and it worked a treat! The cyclists were really happy not to be breathing in...

It's all too little too late from BMW. They are late to the party, and as expected, are missing the entire point. Keeping their cars visually looking the same way is just them demonstrating there unwillingness to innovate and create exciting new EV cars. And why do they even need that ugly...

I use Alexa to turn on the Climate in the car. very handy to be able to do that by voice whilst getting ready to go out.

I can confirm that I can now make a Fart sound on the external speaker! Genuinely looking forwards to the next time i'm in a supermarket carpark ;-)

Yes it will be China, and their cars are tip top! Picked up my LR last week, and it's perfect :-)

Love this idea for the UK. Imagine if we could just submit our dash-cam footage to a Police/Gov website (perhaps "tosser.gov.uk"), and they sent a fine to the car owner within hours, then (and this is the crucial bit) you get a notification back to say "Thank you for your submission, the car...

I saw the same report on the TV, and was gobsmacked it was a Tesla. You have all that money, you want to be more "green", yet you still think throwing your crap out of the window is acceptable. They should fine all drivers who do this sort of thing heavily.

didnt know that one - Cheers!

Why not just change it to engage at current speed instead of speed limit? works perfectly …

You can set the cruise to engage at current speed. I’ve got mine set to that

I picked the car up new today, and it was made in the China factory and arrived in the UK a week ago. I didn’t expect it to make this reversing noise, and I can’t see anything yet to change it in the UI, but to be fair I’ve not been through the whole thing yet (too busy driving it!)

Here you go: It only makes the sound when i reverse, as can be seen in the video. The sound changes slightly dependent on reversing speed

Sounds like a howling wind! ive got a video of it, but not sure how to post a video here…?

My brand new Model 3 in the UK is making a sound when I reverse. No Boombox in the UI, but it’s clearly got the external speaker fitted and is making a default sound
