    Auto de-fogging

    I'd suggest people put through a report. If everyone is saying the same thing they should act. Can you still do a voice command in the car with "bug report"? that's probably the best way of reporting as they'll get sensor info. So if you say "bug report", followed by something like "unable to...

    Auto de-fogging

    they've definitely changed something. I was fighting it a couple of weeks back as I'd not hit this issue before. Turned the whole climate control off and it would turn it back on. I thought at first it was the app getting stuck trying to pre heat the car. As Others have said, setting it to...

    Has anyone had Front Upper Control Arms replaced for free out of warranty?

    I've had both the front and rear upper arms fail. Only the one rear one was done within warranty as they "couldn't find an issue" with the others at the time, despite being noisy. I probably could have kicked up a fuss, but I don't have the energy. So I've paid them to replace the fronts and...

    Third party 18” winter wheel options for Model 3 Performance?

    you can also get spacers like these: https://www.driftworks.com/3-5mm-slip-on-tesla-m3-performance-wheel-spacers-5x114-pcd-69-7mm-cb-in-silver-pair.html They're designed to go over the lip so you can fit any normal wheel and spigot ring. they push the wheel out a tiny bit too which looks better...

    Sentry mode - Thank you! Merc hit the car & drove off

    I'd say 25% was actually quite good. I saw a 40% increase with a no fault claim on a different car (someone drove into the front of the wife's leaf and instantly admitted liability and their insurance sorted it all) and most of the people in the office have seen 40-45% increases with no change...

    Creaking noise

    I don't think I had to agree to pay over 3 years ago but any of the SC work in the last 3 years I've always had to agree a price to fix it, which was then deleted and covered by warranty. I'd be interested to know what they find, as I currently have "slight creaking" and when they replaced the...

    Creaking noise

    Yea, I'm probably going to give the powerflex arms a go. Tesla have had my rear suspension appart 4 times and each time I've got about 6 months out of it. They replaced the rear upper arms last year and it's squeaking again, the front arms have been squeaking for 2 years now but apparently not...

    Impound (seized) car insurance

    Just pay the £3400 for enhanced autopilot and summon the car out of the impound. Simple! ;)

    Squeaky rear suspension, out of warranty Tesla

    Here's the line item for the rear arm that made my model 3 sound like a clown car. The bush had delaminated. RR UPR FORE LINK ASSY, STMP (1044427-00-C) 1.00 £135.63

    To the owner of the red model 3 traveling north on the M90 this evening...

    In their defence, my offside headlight nearly always points in the air after a firmware update, not every time but most times, it's incredibly annoying, Drive home, get flashed by everyone, remember the update, try to find somewhere flat while getting flashed, pull over, run the auto level...

    Todays problem: Steering Assist Reduced, Park Assist Not Available, ABS, Traction Control and Air Bag Warnings (and probably others)

    Many if the systems are linked and run through the same bus. This has the advantage of meaning much less wiring and simpler looms, but has the issue that one simple failure can cause a whole load of issues, and it's easy to assume the fault is further down the chain than it is. I had the initial...

    Bank Transfer to Tesla refused by HSBC [UK}

    I'm not referring to saying just pay tesla. You have to provide the bank data, but if your online system cannot decipher the IBAN and no disrespect toliamth91 when I say loads of banking software is dreadful, but getting better. If you provide a human with an IBAN and the system refuses to take...

    Bank Transfer to Tesla refused by HSBC [UK}

    I wouldn't bother calling Tesla, Although banking apps are much better now at detecting details, for large transactions like this I'd call the bank and ask them to make the transaction. They have all the data of the recipient and can ensure the funds are going to the right person and will see...

    Screen going blank

    I was providing feedback to Tesla last year with a nasty bug they had in the firmware causing a buffer overflow type error with the Radar unit, which basically crashed part of the canbus. While chatting with the techs on the issue looking for workarounds in case it happened while I was on the...

    Screen going blank

    Mine has recently done this a couple of times, and ignoring the brake, so I have to open and shut the door to get the screen back. A couple of firmware releases ago I also had it where you couldn't get the screen to wake up if it was just the passenger (I though the seat sensor had failed) but...
