After driving on some truly dark roads and managed to fix the alignment issues I’m pretty sure the alignment does affect the high beam. With the alignment pointed too far down I could see patches turning off on the road quite close to me when cars were some distance away. With the alignment...

I see that full beam is on and I'm not getting flashed - so something must be working. But I can't see pixels turning on and off like others are noticing. Also I've long suspected that my headlight alignment is out. How does the alignment work with matrix headlights. Is there some feedback...

I can't figure out how to stick a rigid plastic plate on the front. Its just too curvy vertically for any of the sticky pads I have, The plate touches along the top and bottom edges only. Particularly if I don't place it any higher than the original bracket (to avoid blocking the radar). So I...

Emovis Emovis Tag UK will sell you a tag with a uk account. There is a deposit and up to £10/pa fee on top of the toll charges but ithe convenience is great. I've also heard (not confirmed myself) that you can buy a french tag from the office (far right lane) at any toll station using a UK...

if it's in the manual or clearly in the settings menu it's not a hidden feature

I don't mind telling people about the car :D Did you have to mention that the lane departure warning may go off if you move close to the edge of the lane? - or just turn it off every time? Happy to avoid chill. If it was always in chill mode that would be fine, but swapping between the two the...

Anyone gone through the IAM RoadSmart / RoSPA or similar advanced driving course in a Model 3? Any tips or anything I need to know? Obviously not having gears to change and significant regenerative breaking is going to make a difference but how does that work in practice? Is it easy to...

If you exceed the speed limit significantly by accident then you really should have been paying more attention and deserve the strong reminder. If you decide to exceed the speed limit (as we all do sometimes) and you get caught then take it on the chin. Your decision, you take the consequences...

If you receive your crit'air sticker and don't speak French it can be a bit confusing. The website is in perfect English but the letter you get with the sticker is in French only and says seemingly random things like "attach to vehicle bodywork" etc. So what it tells you (from memory as I long...

After almost 2 years my original wiper blades which were brilliant had making a streak right in front of me. So I replaced with a new set of Bosch Aerotwins. And the new blades are much worse. If the windscreen is perfectly clean then they work ok, but 2 miles down the road and the slightest...

try changing the steering option from comfort or standard to sport. As well as making the steering a bit firmer I find it allows you to be a little rougher with your “yes I’m still holding the wheel“ input without disengaging the autosteerimg. also pulling on the wheel just before indicating...

I have an emovis (bip & go) tag for my upcoming trip but - Can anyone advise on where in an M3 to stick it non-permanently so that it works? I don't particularly want to have it permanently stuck to my windscreen when I'm only going for a few weeks per year. (really prefer to keep the...

I would pay really good money to have soundcloud running on the tesla screen. Yes I can play from my phone but that means pulling over and parking every time I want to change tracks legally. (In the UK touching your phone while not parked will get you 6 out of max 12 points and a hefty fine).

Thule roof cycle carriers fit perfect on to the Tesla roof bars and they are really solid. (if you’re able to lift your bikes up that high of course.) I have 3 but pretty sure I could fit a 4th. There’s a slot in the top of the roof bars filled with a strip of foam. Pull it out and the bolts on...
