Personally I would really like to do that. An Vauxhall Belmont I had decades ago had the facility to simply emit outside air that had not passed through the heating system. It was very close to the actual outside air temperature. When I look at the energy stats I am concerned to see how many...

I am trying to get my deposit back. I had been in correspondence with [email protected] about my order (and its cancellation due to no USS) but he did not reply to my request for return of deposit. I then wrote to Tesla Head Office UK 109 Devonshire Road London, W4 2AN but, again, no...

Thanks for reopening the thread. I have cancelled my order for a M3LR scheduled for March 4th because it did not have parking sensors and Tesla could not provide me (I asked) with evidence that there was a functionality in development (beta) that could replace the USS functionality with...

I am beginning to feel that way and it worries be because I am a shareholder too and am concerned about the image they project to potential customers. I was about to receive delivery of a M3LR but when I discovered it had no parking sensors I cancelled and am keeping my existing M3SR+ for the...

Tesla does not release new models like, for instance the mk 5 Golf vs the mk4 Golf. Instead there is a process of punctuated equilibrium of a single model, say the Model 3. The equilibrium is where small iterations are made to the hardware and software but nothing major. The punctuations are...

Just to offer my take on this, when I learned that USS was not going to be provided I asked several times for evidence, even on another Tesla model or with beta software that there was going to be a replacement technology that was competent using only the cameras. No evidence was provided. My...

Thanks Init6. Yes I did google it https://www.gov.uk/online-and-distance-selling-for-businesses but distance selling doesn't immediately seem relevant. As the link you provided suggests it could be contract law but I am not sure that they have a clause entitling them to change specification...

I have had a 2019 M3SR+ from new and of course it has USS parking sensors, which I use a lot. My new M3LR was due to be collected in a week. Two weeks ago I was told about the removal of USS. I asked Tesla for evidence that Tesla Vision, or any other technology, would replace the functionality...

This is the original poster person. Thanks. Yes, I agree insurance companies are lazy and just want to tick boxes, and of course they should know what the bhp is for an unmodified vehicle. From your posts it seems that it can't be 302 and so it must be 469 and since there are only two boxes to...

I am trading in my 2019 model 3 for a new long range model 3. No performance upgrade. Direct line wants to know if it is 302 bhp or 469 bhp. The figures I have been able to find are neither of these. The Tesla website does not seem to quote bhp or kW. What is the official figure please?

Thanks. The non-Tesla stalls seemed to be busy too. I am less inclined to use the non-Tesla stalls because of the payment complexity. Perhaps I should give them a go. I realised afterwards that there are superchargers at Chelmsford. I could have fully charged there and that would have got me...

I needed to get from Cheltenham to a place near Kings Lynn, then to Chelmsford and then back home to Cheltenham. I found I needed to put some manual work into planning this trip. The superchargers at Rugby and Kings Lynn were low occupancy and I could charge quickly, The Thetford supercharger...

Is there a way of bringing attention of this issue to Tesla?

Yes, indeed. The rerouting works for slowed down traffic, but not for non-existent traffic as would be the case for a road closure. I don't know the rental agreement they have. Is it with Google? If so why aren't road closures that show on Google uploaded to Tesla? Slowed down traffic is...

I drive in the UK. Right now Google Maps is clearly showing road closures that my Tesla has unwittingly got caught up in. I am disappointed that there is not a regular (i.e. more frequent than daily) download of this crucial information to the car. The routing capability of the car is able to...
