And that you don't beep too soon after the event, like when you would instinctively do it, otherwise the cleaved video file might/will probably miss the exact thing you were beeping at in the first place. Instead you need to beep randomly like 10 seconds or so after the dust has settled.

Same. Nice to have a button that forces an unlock without having to get your phone out or reach into the car. The OEM fob opens the charge port door regardless of whether the car is locked or unlocked, and unlocks the charge cable if it's plugged in. Same long press on it.

This is a massive long shot really, but I was wondering if anyone with a later Model 3 with C-style brake lights and twin reverse and fog lights has a copy of what their gateway config was - if they’ve done any work with the car in Toolbox 3 etc. Specifically, I’m trying to find out the value...

Tend to agree with this. Even lights on cars with proper matrix can blind momentarily. Lights generally on cars seem to be getting more and more powerful, and piercing (colour temp). My working theory is that because they are becoming smaller in terms of how much space they take up, and they’re...

I don’t think Raymond does tech support any more. He also stopped replying to my messages and I ended up having to go via their support channel. I guess that’s fair enough but one of the biggest strengths for me picking EVOffer was the perception of responsive support, and now I often have to...

If its anything like the EVOffer stuff it will be installed in the boot/trunk of the car, likely on the right hand side, behind the fabric trim. From memory I think Hansshow recommend wiring the 12v up to the penthouse underneath the rear seats. If it’s wired in there that would be a slightly...

Couldn’t you just unplug the power cable from the ECU?

Yeah, it's insane that cars have been delivered since October 2022 with no parking sensors, and Summon & Autopark have been disabled since then. Then again, Tesla Vision took 6 months to come out, with the wiggly lines, and just over a year before it got to the state its in now. On the flip...

I thought I'd have to run a wire, but from speaking to someone here in the UK with a 2022 Model 3LR, they replaced all 4 lights and the reversing light/foglight on the left hand side of the car just worked without any coding. I checked and he said that he had to use 2 adapters for the inners...

Worked for me Saturday just gone on 2024.2.2.1. It actually did a decent job of reverse parking into a space. Was actually surprised to see it prompt me as it very rarely does in my experience. As has been said though it's very hit and miss on whether it offers it to you, and you have to be...

Answered myself by reading the thread a bit more thoroughly. It's a bit difficult to parse the info because a lot of it is based on US lights that never had rear foglights, etc. In the EPC I can see the following: Looking at eBay - 1077404-00-C (inner, RHS of vehicle) is 3 pin, and looks...

I've got a 2020 American made M3P here in the UK, and I'm going to be retrofitting the front matrix headlights soon. I have a few questions if anyone can help :) Does coding the "global" rears require the same or greater level of access as will be required for the matrix lights (i.e. not...

Me too. Would’ve gone ahead if it was just the ECUs. Replacing the wire that gets pulled through would be a massive pain in the ass. Interesting that they wanted to know if I could get the config change. I wonder how it behaves if you haven’t done that?

Spoke to EVOffer and they’re saying that the cable from the main ECU to the trunk lid (the horrible one you have to fish) has to be replaced too, as it “uses different connectors”. Damn. Also can you point me in the direction of the cable you used for Toolbox please?

One side benefit of you doing that (and me - if you get it working ok) is that the car won't lock with the boot open anymore. Because of how the 2.5 kit fudges the boot open status to make it possible to close it from the screen (it makes the car think the boot is closed when it isn't), the car...

In simple terms Tesla aren't going to spend time disassembling assembled parts. If it's not laid out in the service manual then it's not happening. From memory the wing mirror only exists in the electronics part catalogue as two parts - the whole assembly including the glass, and the skull...

I've bought some used matrix headlights that are on their way to me, and will be fitted by the end of the month. Can anyone advise on the current process for getting the config changed? Is it still the case that Tesla can't/won't do it via a service request (I read earlier it requires "level 3...

Launch Plaid pricing too. Does look nice though. I do think it's lost something going to more traditional looking headlights.

I'm probably guilty of imagining the worse case scenarios as being bigger than they really are in practice. I remember when Apple removed the headphone jack from iPhones I thought it was a dumb idea, and railed against it, but then I also couldn't remember the last time I had ever plugged in a...

I have driven one, and whilst I didn't find them quite as bad as I was expecting, they would take some time to get used to, and I think I would always be less confident about quick readjustments in unfamiliar places. I went for a drive around Bristol on a collection of mini and larger...

One slight wrinkle with this is the fact that the VIN will return to Tesla a list of parts that were fitted to the car, in case of warranty replacements etc. So if you code matrix lights to the car, and one of them breaks, they’ll run the VIN and it’ll say that the replacement light that’s...

What happened with your door handle? I missed where you mentioned it. I had a door handle fail, it basically lost its soft close functionality. Took 4 months to get replaced, with the service date getting pushed back over and over. Wasn’t too bothered because it still worked, but not great from...

Yeah Red is looking a lot better in photos and in the flesh than I expected. Usually British permanently overcast weather makes colours like this look drab, but it doesn’t seem to with this.

I had a short 30 min drive of a Highland RWD today at Bristol. Let me first say 30 mins is not enough time to get acquainted with it, but they were stacked. I had expected to have it for an hour so was a bit disappointed coming out of the gate. Since I only had limited time, I’ll deal with the...

I'd suggest maybe that's a bit of an immature view of it? If Tesla can't sell cars without whipsawing the price, then I dunno what to say really.. maybe they need to get better at dealing with market forces? Do Porsche or other manufacturers drop the price of their stuff overnight by 30%+? Do...

I agree, in part. If you're told the price of something is X, then under the normal run of things you can safely rely on that as the price of entry, for everyone. I don't think it's unreasonable to be upset if it the price of it is then cleaved by over 30% overnight, because it's basically...

Indeed. Plus people who were lucky enough to capitalise on the COVID price craziness to basically swap cars are still enriched. They have a car that is however many years newer than the one they sold, and the usage (in hire terms) of their previous car was basically free.

I'd doubt it would physically fit. It looks like the angle of the wireless pads is more acute, so I don't think the bottom part of the dash would marry up even assuming the connections were the same.

Well done. That method is what EVOffer said in a later video that one would need to do in this situation. I naively thought you'd just have to pull on this cable using the yellow ring on the end, and it would open with a reasonable amount of force. As soon as I saw that you need to use pliers...

Cmon man, that's really reaching. What's going to happen if the mirror falls off the windscreen? Is the baby wearing a bomb jacket that is in the process of being disarmed?

Polestar 4 looks pretty great not gonna lie. The whole coupe-dressed-as-a-mini-SUV is a bit weird, but it wears it well, it is a lovely looking thing in my opinion (I'm pretty much a fan of all of the Polestars to be honest). Just configured one and it's not difficult to be knocking on the...

Must admit "I can't see my baby" is a pretty weak complaint when it's perfectly possible to mount a regular old suction cup mirror sourced from Amazon or Aliexpress or whatever. You could even angle it directly at the baby and have it as its singular function rather than - as I often see -...

No, Tesla never resolved it. They never even got back to me about it.

Cool, would be interested to find out myself. Not sure what or where the “small ECU” is, but I’m probably not remembering the installation clearly (was done by a forum member). The only ECU I remember is the one in the subwoofer recess. Possibly also worth bearing in mind that there’s an...

Didn’t Elon rugpull S/X owners back in 2019 or so by similar numbers? I recall an overnight $40k price drop and Chinese owners shutting down service centres with protests, etc. In that context there’s probably an element of “fool me once” pulling the trigger on a $127k S. It’s a question of...

Nice one. Didn’t know it was in consumer version. Where did you hear it was a $100 upgrade? Couldn’t find that option on website. Is it just the control box needed if you have a 2.5 kit?

I don’t like getting mugged off, call me old fashioned.

They won’t, but good luck.

The power struts plug into the harness that plugs into the frunk control box so I have absolutely no idea how that’s supposed to work?

Bit confused but what would “be like OEM” actually mean in practice? Also getting Tesla to code that option would likely be easier said than done. Worst case scenario you’d have to pay someone circa $500 to do it (was looking into retrofitting matrix headlights at one point)

Basically yes. Since you retrofitted the 2.0 console you will have the adapter because they only ever came with the later blue CANBUS connector. The Tesla website is presumably disqualifying VINs earlier than a certain date, which your car falls within. In your case you'd have to book a...

It probably isn't compatible if you have a stock 2018. if you get a loom adapter and convert the white CANBUS to blue at the back of the centre console then it will be (in my opinion). The Tesla webstie said a PWS retrofit was incompatible with my car and I opened a service request and got it...

I would agree with @edb49. The only "bad" thing, if you want to call it that, is there the thread provides a collection of "lines of attack" that they can anticipate. it means they are forearmed, but it's really not going to help them or Tesla much, because the claims turn on a simple matter...

For what it's worth when i was a defendant in a small claim I pointed out all kinds of process abuses on the part of the claimant, believing it to be pivotal, and it made and it made not one jot of difference to the case proceeding to court. In fact, the only thing that killed it was the...

Was going to say the same, OP is not going to be offered 31-33k for it. There’s a decent chance people with late 2022, maybe even early 2023 cars will be offered that kind of money. I’d suggest a lot depends on how much mileage you plan to do, what your risk profile is, and how impactful it...

My EVOffer one lasted about a year too. Second one less than 6 months. I was lucky that both failures just stopped the soft close aspect of it working, it didn’t seize whilst shut. Didn’t want to take that gamble again.

People underestimate the impact of this I think. Price cuts are great for prospective owners and possibly investors. Not great for existing owners though, or ones looking at finance for the new car. If the market doesn’t have some assurances of future residual value, then at best it’s going to...

Apropos of nothing but I watched a video earlier of a guy with a 2019 UK launch car doing a Highland test drive, and he had a mic setup where it was next to the window. On the Highland part of the video the noise from outside was imperceptible, even on dual carriageways. When he got back into...

I am though. You thought you got rid of me didn’t you. Thought it was just you and @AnthonyLR left of the old guard. Think again. ⚔️

Ehhhh it‘s better than nothing though. It’s progress. It’s one less aspect of the car that feels like its over 10 years older than it should be. That it isn’t available on pre-Highlands is lame though. Maybe it will in the future, though I doubt it. Having said that, if you’re buying a...
