Cleaning the car today and found a 2 inch crack in the rear windscreen. Car was valeted a couple weeks ago and nothing mentioned. Auto defog has come on a few time briefly recently and that turns on rear demister. Car is always garaged and glass is unmarked otherwise. What's the chances of...

If you are in the USA (guessing you are by the date format and the Volt, Called the Ampera in EU) they have been disabled for now apparently. This is aa UK section so we would not have the issue

My car has been in the shop for over a week with this issue. Three new humidity sensors were tried, each reading 100% humid. Eventually gota message today that they have never seen this issue before and it looks to be something in the firmware. My car is being returned to me while Engineering...

can't add to my previous message but more information has come to light. They did indeed not know what the problem was despite screenshots until I got there at 4 o'clock and showed them the screen and the cars behaviour. The car has now had three humidity sensors fitted and all the car says all...

Gone to collect car and no change. Message still there will not turn off. Second time now, Service centre don't seem to know what the problem is let alone fix it.

I did but they just said they'd try to get the car back to me in time.

Hi All, wonder if you could help? Since mid-December I have the Auto defrost message appear that won't go away, car has been in once and had the humidity sensor replaced. no change. Car is due in again tomorrow and they tell me it might need to be with them overnight and they'll provide Uber...

Gotta argue this one really, not in defence of Tesla but in criticism of every other maker. Most of those cheap "attached with bits of string" shelves end up blocking the interior light, don't fold and have no-where to go if you need to remove them for a load. Mercedes A class gen one had roll...

Installing or just background downloading?

The UMC has been my main method of charging since 2019 as I have a 32a commando set up. In fact, it was so critical I bought another (off eBay) to carry in the car as the other one is attached to the wall in case of theft. Our holiday cottage this year assured us there was an EV charger, which...

Reply to service request today "core command is aware of the problem" a firmware bug affects a number of cars, await new download. Always supported Tesla but a software update that disables safety-critical parts is just unacceptable.

Driving through London tonight and the auto high-beam started what can only be described as "strobing". Switched it off but 10 mins later had autosteer not available, cruise control not available and emergency braking systems not available. This persisted through power down but a two-button...

I also would be interested in the original droplocks. Although as I routinely carry rather large reptiles, I only wish I am there to see the look on the face of the ne'er-do-well who realises he now has hold of the wrong end of an angry 16ft python

I was at an event yesterday (Shoreham Heavy Horse for those interested) and noticed as I drove up to the marshals that there were signs directing EV's to specific parking area (note, not hybrids, just EV). The Marshal informed me that after dropping my trade stand I would have to remove my car...
