    [UK] Spring Software Update

    You guys don't have the dashcam as a shortcut? This is an absolute must for me. The amount of sh!t I see on the roads in London I’m tapping it at least once every 2-3 drives - mind you, I never actually do anything with them! Though, yesterday as I was stopped at the lights, I saw some biker...

    2024 Insurance Costs

    My turn to add to the annual (anal?) pain club: 2023 insurance: £1,319.19 2024 insurance: £1,561.73 An increase of 18.3% Admiral have "upgraded" me to their Gold Tier club without my asking. I have to contact them to stay on my current policy tier (sneaky f*cks) which I’m assuming will bring...

    Creaking tailgate - mobile technician visit

    I was very surprised as well. But Like Jason71 mentioned, Autoglym along all the seals (I did all the doors as well) did the trick. I apply it every 2-3 months but probably doesn't need it that frequently. By the way, I did take it into the SC and they didn't / couldn't fix it.

    Creaking tailgate - mobile technician visit

    Oh no worries, just look for the rubber.. err seals (not sure how else to describe it) that are on the car itself (not on boot lid). Not sure if that helps, but if not I can take some pictures next time I’m at my car.

    Sentry Mode - Depressing how many people open doors into the car

    Oh cheers for asking! Actually I just got the car back from the Tesla body shop yesterday lol. The lady was good about it once I reached out to via her company website. She called straight away and got her insurance involved and they sorted it out from there. Only few snags were that Tesla...

    2023 Holiday Update

    I must be getting old.. but I still still use my wing mirrors when parking. I judge distance to front bumper and front corners with my eye balls. I only use the backup camera for judging distance to the back bumper. I’ve even turned off all the bingbong sounds. Never crashed into anything. Why...

    2023 Holiday Update

    Not sure what the fuss is about with speed cameras, they’re so obvious here, especially as compared to my native NZ (where they’re all sneakily hidden)! What would be amazing is to have road closures, road works and accident information like Google and Waze have.

    So… Highland is out…

    This whole thread... It should be called "So... who wants to come to the highland-road and crap down on anything and everything Tesla". Criticism is important. Delusional moaning not so much. ✌️

    M3 Refresh - Are Indicator buttons really poor design?

    If all you did were read comments on here and you were to make a conclusion about how people behave on roundabouts, you'd assume that 100% of the people indicate 100% of the time. But alas, go into the real world and you will see that, no matter the make of car, or whether they have stalks or...

    [UK specific] Software Update 2023.26

    A lot of complaints about niggles on here.. now that I’ve just updated, what stands out to me is… they seem to have really upped the quality of music playback (on Spotify). I’m not sure exactly what they did but the balance seems to have improved massively. Before, often vocals were drowned out...

    Sentry Mode - Depressing how many people open doors into the car

    Thanking you! She hasn’t responded yet but because she was at the airport and had 3 MASSIVE suitcases, I’m assuming she’ll be away for a while. I will try to contact her via her website first to see if she acknowledges - but judging by the way she just looked at the chip, rubbed it, then walked...

    Sentry Mode - Depressing how many people open doors into the car

    Well, I found the lady online as it was a company car with her company logo and website fully visible. I also caught her littering. So yeah, I’m going to file a report and if she doesn't contact me out of her own goodness (she's an "alchemist in the natural world" so not sure how much goodness...

    Thanks for the advice, I will see what I can do.

    Sentry Mode - Depressing how many people open doors into the car

    Yikes, finally got a door ding big enough to write home about. Seem plenty of people bump their doors into mine but thankfully not had any lasting mark, up until today. I parked my car at Stanstead for a week. And yes there’s always a risk parking there but for the most part people are sensible...

    Model Y boot open - Cambridge

    That’s good to know then, as it means mine mustn’t have been left open for longer than I thought. I must’ve accidentally clicked the button on the widget by accident and realised straight away.
