Didn't see anyone mention this in my brief scan through of the thread: In the UK, FSD will stop for traffic lights - even if they are green. The driver must press the accelerator or pull down the gear stalk to confirm that it's OK to proceed. It's pretty useless at the moment. On the general...

I received and installed it on Friday night.

"You can't take it with you when you go". After someone said that to me, I felt more comfortable with my decision to buy my car. Might as well spend money on things we enjoy, as long as it's not going to cause financial struggle as a result.

Since installing 2021.32.10, I've lost most Autopilot/FSD functionality aside from summon forward/backward and the visualisation just shows my car and a road layout that doesn't move. Reboot hasn't solved it, nor has powering off the car. I've also left it 24 hours so it has a chance to "sleep".

My car recently (in the past couple of months, possibly since map data update) has started indicating away from exits it is not taking. I'm in the UK, where the left lane is the "slowest" and according to our driving laws/the "Highway Code" you're only supposed to move into the other lanes for...

Upgraded from 2021.4.15.12 to 2021.4.18 recently. I experienced some Autopilot phantom braking whilst overtaking a HGV (heavy goods vehicle) on the previous version (I say phantom braking but it felt more harsh than it actually was - more like the car easing off the accelerator. Doubt it...

I'm impatiently waiting for V11 so I was finding it frustrating that we were getting loads of seemingly benign updates, but it seems that there are possibly some bigger improvements being tested and revised in the background so I'm keeping up-to-date since I figure it'll be feeding back...

My IHD seemed to think off-peak times were 11:30pm to 6:30am (or somewhere roughly around those times) despite my switch to Go. It showed Go rates at the current time and I noticed the cheap rate was being displayed outside of the 12:30-4:30 window. Website shows the correct times so I guess it...

I want an alternative to requiring a steering wheel wiggle when on Autopilot or initiating a lane change with EAP/FSD. I know they're working on being able to track eyes with the internal camera and also detect phone usage so I expect this will probably be used eventually. Auto-park between...

Received e-mail inviting me to switch to Go. Support also responded to me on Twitter - turns out they hadn't got round to looking at my account because of some delay, but everything's fine. So, I should be on Go as of midnight tonight :)

And so the problems begin... Having previously been concerned about smart meters possibly not fitting next to the (fairly big) consumer unit installed for my car chargepoint and also needing one that can supply off-peak loads on a separate consumer unit (i.e. needs an extra terminal for that)...

I lost autopilot (well, autosteer and Navigate on Autopilot - TACC still worked) in my Model 3 after updating to this version a few days ago. It worked after a reboot.

I occasionally have a look at the comments on sponsored EV posts on Facebook or Twitter and yeah there's a lot of negativity posted about EVs. Beyond the practical issues (charging arrangements, range etc.) and the fear (might catch fire, how will we get all this power, what happens if you drive...

Switched from Bulb to Octopus last month (on an Economy 7 meter), having been in touch with Octopus via Twitter to confirm that they would be able to supply me with a smart meter. I have storage heaters, fed from a separate consumer unit and so needed a 5 terminal/port meter, which apparently...

I booked mine in specifically for this to be done as a known issue with water ingress affecting the wiring loom. Think they have a service bulletin on it. Didn't experience any problems beforehand, just wanted it proactively addressed as I had read of the problems it causes and didn't want to...
