I’m still gutted my car can’t run Vampire Survivors. That’s hardly a graphically intensive title but for some reason requires a Ryzen.

Or just don’t leave your (newer) fob on the washing machine or near a cat. Fob not moving = fob not transmitting.

Also, when was the 294 figure seen? It’s still pretty chilly overnight and the battery takes a long time to warm up via ambient temperatures, so you might be comparing a BMS estimate based on weeks of cold overnight temps vs a few weeks of warm weather.

Database Admin/Engineer. I sit in the basement and roll my eyes when Brenda from Finance gets herself confused with what year it is. Again.

That's generally how software companies and large corporate IT teams release software updates, normally known as Rings or Waves. Can be wildly different, but how we do it: Ring 0 = Developers, testers, admins Ring 1 = QA testers, early adopters Ring 2 = Small group of 'normal' everyday users...

What they should do is charge you for the repairs but knock it off the extended warranty price when it does become available. Probably won’t be that sensible though.

You’re in the wrong place, this is the UK forum.

Autopilot also gets "updates" via map/route changes. Plenty of tales of weird behaviour in the same location caused by dodgy map info that suddenly goes away when the route is fixed. And disabling radar fixed a very reproducable bit of phantom breaking I had. Pretty sure it was a tree and steep...

Lighting, headlights/brakelights, spray volume, cleanliness of glass will all be variables. Camera based rain detection is hard because there are so many variables.

Conversely, there is no way in hell that the wiper algorithm is changed after every update (including every point release and bug fix). And yet each release has people saying they got better or worse after it.

Looks like they're in the process of setting up a new one. https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/support/extended-warranty now says So if anyone is approaching their warranty expiry date (and is interested in an extended warranty), send them an email asap.

I went with Falken FK520 245/35/20 and immediately bopped the kerb in the local NCP when driving away from the barriers and the alloys survived unscathed.

Not due for a few months but had a check and best quote was £666 o_O

Yeah, it's a limitation without a fix and whenever I do a u-turn on any roundabout I'm always more aware that it's an unusual maneuver and people at the last 'normal' turnoff I could have used could assume I'm leaving there and enter. Sod all you can do about it other than be careful, as even on...

Mini roundabouts are usually things you can indicate on approach and everyone else can see your intentions from that. If there’s time I’ll indicate when coming off them too, but given how small they are you’re quite often pointed at the exit (or entering it) by the time you’ve passed the...
