I’m always amazed at how many people know exactly what the Musk thinks. Problem is they reckon he thinks completely different things. I can’t be certain, but I don’t think Musk is going to give the UK an EAP trial. But as I don’t know what he thinks I can’t be certain.

Given that Tesla lights aren’t even matrix yet I don’t see how you can even begin to compare the two. Even after the latest updates, which have after more than three years finally improved AHB on my M3, the matrix lights on my A6 are still in a different league. Tesla have still got a long way...

I’m surprised Tesla still get away with calling it FSD. it is not self driving now and whether it ever will be in the future has not been proved. Musk’s predictions and timelines have been disastrously wrong over and over again. To call vapourware that is apparently in permanent beta “full self...

Perhaps the Musk read the results of the poll after the trial last year. Of those who responded not a single person decided to buy EAP and 12% of people who were going to buy it decided not to. So in effect the 14 day trial actually lost Tesla money because it put potential customers off. Maybe...

You are so right. The $7500.00 discount in the US isn’t a discount at all according to Tesla. It’s a “price adjustment”. 🤣

Which, effectively, means that vision only on the car doesn’t work.

It’s perfectly on topic to discuss wipers on this thread. We all want the wipers to improve, except perhaps those who reckon their wipers work perfectly. There have been some improvements over the last three years through software updates but I’m not aware it’s been mentioned in the release...

I’ve been reading crap like this on this forum for years. Which aspects of your car do you think are “clearly years” ahead f the competition?

I disagree entirely. Much of the competition is coming on in leaps and bounds and there are some absolutely fantastic EVs out there. To say Tesla has the best technology is laughable. I can only presume you haven’t been keeping tabs on what’s happening with the completion over the last couple of...

It’s amazing how different people have different experiences of what is essentially the same car. You honestly can’t hear ANY wind noise at 70mph? I find I can hear tyre noise from 15mph and wind noise at 40mph. At 70mph wind and tyre noise is so intrusive it requires a significant boost in...

Until the boffins realise Tesla Vision doesn’t work.

What I’d like in a refreshed M3: More comfort and refinement. My M3P is way too noisy at motorways speeds for a car in this price range. More supportive seats in the Performance model. A decent binnacle display. A HUD. A few physical controls for HVAC without cluttering the cabin. Acres...

Musk’s predictions are about as reliable as a 1970s Binatone radio alarm clock.

It would be interesting to know how much it’s selling for.

After more than three years I have also finally seen an improvent in AHB on 2022.4.1. They are still a little slow to come back on but they definitely react more quickly to oncoming cars. However, as long as they still come on in towns and cities where there is plenty of ambient light I would...

Yes it is. High beam should never activate in towns and cities where there is plenty of ambient light.

Sorry, you have misunderstood me. I’m not talking about using TACC or AP, which I never use in built up areas. In fact I rarely use it on motorways because I still find phantom braking to be a significant problem. When I’m manually driving the car AHB still comes on in towns and cities, and this...

Does AHB still come on in built up areas where there is plenty of ambient light? Blinding pedestrians and cyclists is just as unacceptable as blinding other motorists. Until Tesla fix this the lights aren’t fit for purpose.

Exactly. Doesn’t matter if it takes HW10 and the Muskovite admits defeat and realises that FSD can’t be achieved without Radar/LIDAR, ALL cars should be upgraded for free. For years if necessary. A promise is a promise.

I can’t work out if you’re being serious or not. Feel like a rockstar because you got a software update??!! I can’t say an update from Tesla has ever made me remotely excited. Not even the ones with new fart noises. And especially as every update seems to break something or remove a feature of...

Not for me. I’ll be dumping Tesla in a few months and getting something better 🤣

Utter and complete waste of money. It might possibly be worth it if it worked as intended and if there was the slightest chance that we might get significantly more functionality in the near future, such as autosteer on city streets that I was promised by the end of 2019. Auto lane change is...

There haven’t been any positive comments about AHB since I got my car more than three years ago so don’t hold your breath. It’s complete crap.

A friend of mine has an MG ZS. You can’t compare it to an M3 because it’s nearly £20k less than the cheapest M3 and half the price of an M3P. But it still manages to do some things better. The auto windscreen wipers and AHB work perfectly, and it is significantly quieter and more refined at...

I also decided some time ago that I wouldn’t get another Tesla. I don’t regret getting my M3P as there was much less competition three years ago, though FSD vapourware was a complete waste of money. Now there’s lots of interesting competition, and my next car will have software that isn’t in...

What happens in America is of zero relevance or interest to me. We will not see a Tesla achieve true FSD (i.e. at least Level 4 autonomy) in this country for many years, and that won’t just be because of regulatory issues.

Some people rather optimistically call it “Future Self Driving”. Others, perhaps more accurately, call it “Fake Self Driving”.

Is that the autosteer on city streets that I was promised by the end of 2019?

That leaves me completely underwhelmed. Other makes of cars have had speed limit sign recognition for many years, so Tesla are VERY late to the party. I really can’t see the point of traffic light recognition, especially the beep for a green light. It’s too slow and I’ve always well pulled...

From the Tesla website: “your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates”. The last several updates have made my car noticeably worse. When it comes to FSD and AHB I can detect no improvement at all in the last three years. The auto wipers have improved somewhat...

You got that right. A mental asylum would probably be more appropriate than prison. Sorry if my opinion offends the fanboys.

I’m waiting for one of the fanboys to come along and explain to us why this is a genius move on the part of the Muskovite 😂🤣😂

When it comes to Musk it’s more like 99% dreaming and 1% implementation. His track record on fulfilling promises about FSD are appalling. Which is why I’m constantly amazed that there are still so many remarkably gullible people out there who are convinced by the complete crap he comes out with.

Tesla (Musk) have been making misleading claims about FSD for years. And it is a faulty product. I’d certainly accept a refund and there’s no way I’d waste my money on FSD again.

The new robo taxi is supposed to be launched in 2024. Does Musk really think that in two years Tesla can develop, test, verify, produce at volume and commercially launch a robotaxi vehicle (with no steering wheel or pedals) that meets regulatory rules? Given his past record, which is abysmal, I...

Sure, but when I bought my car almost exactly three years ago the website quite clearly said “autosteer on city streets coming later this year”. That was a lie. For nearly two years it’s just said “coming soon”, but as we know with Tesla time that could mean 2030.

I still have my 2019 A6 and I still drive it regularly. In fact I’m finding I’m driving it much more often than my M3P. One of the reasons is because the tech just works. As a long time Audi owner I can assure you that the latest headlight technology is infinitely better than that on cars of 10...

The penny dropped for most people some considerable time ago, but there are still a few people who have not yet smelt the coffee.

2024? My advice would be not to put any money on it. You will lose every penny.

FSD can mean various things. At the moment it means fake self driving. It could possibly mean future self driving, but not this decade in the UK. The one thing it quite definitely doesn’t mean is full self driving.

Some people (I’m definitely not one of them) look forward with bated breath to the holiday update every Christmas. It’s usually a major update, and as the day draws near people work themselves up into a frenzy as they wait for what their hero and best friend Elon is going to offer...

No, now is NOT the time to change. Residual values are high because of the well known chip shortages in the auto industry, and many of the most desirable new cars won’t be available until next year. Looks like I’ll be moaning for quite a while longer. But then I disagree about your definition...

Good grief! I was just about to make a comment about how refreshing it is to be able to have a proper discussion about these things without people who criticise certain aspects of their car, with great justification, being described as moaners, Tesla haters or being told to p*ss off and buy...

So we are supposed to manually operate the auto features of the car? Seems like an oxymoron to me. Perhaps this is the secret to FSD that no one has realised. FSD will work flawlessly, and phantom braking will be a thing of the past, as long as the driver always manually operates the...

Even if they did the Tesla dashcam would still be very poor. The cameras used are only believed to be 1.2 megapixels, which is barely half the resolution of full HD. Images from a dedicated 4k dashcam are incomparably better.

No, Musk was disastrously wrong, and not for the first time. Read his words - “I am certain of that, that is not a question mark.” That isn’t just being optimistic. That was more than three years ago and there is still no prospect of true autonomous driving anytime soon. I don’t want a...

Yesterday my car reached 62°C, but by putting the aircon on “Lo” I got it down to 12°C. Pretty impressive! For the last few days, though, I’ve been unable to wake the car using the app to turn climate control on. I get an error message saying “Vehicle Server Error 540”. If I’m at work that...

In this country we don’t know how to stop our homes getting hot tin the first place. Closing the curtains can help a bit but really it does very little because the heat is already in the room. On the continent they use external shutters. I have a property in the Haute-Pyrénées, and although it...

You are missing the point. We all know that the matrix feature isn’t enabled in newer cars, and my 2019 M3 doesn’t have matrix lights. We also know from experience that they don’t work as intended. However, you won’t find any literature from Tesla explaining that the auto headlights are too slow...

Actually if you read the OP’s post properly you’ll see he didn’t ask if there’s a solution or a workaround, he asked if people had been experiencing the same problem. I presume people can only express an opinion if it’s positive towards Tesla. Any criticism of Tesla must be avoided at all...
