    Final Invoice Plan

    I doubt its that simple, in reality they have thousands of cars to deal with. I suspect it might be a case of whatever comes off first, gets charged up and then put on a transporter will be first, which is most likely why we've all been given large windows for delivery. I highly doubt there is...

    UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

    I recommend "Remote for Tesla" for iOS and watchOS. I've been using it with my model S for a while and it supports the iOS shortcuts app, which allows me to create a shortcut I can use for Siri, which I've called "Lets go". Link ‎Remote for Tesla When I say "Lets go" to Siri, it unlocks my...

    Reservation Fee Refund Request

    You paid by AMEX like me I guess, on the day in the chaos AMEX cards were charged in dollars not pounds (despite the confirmation email saying the contrary), so $1000 which converted and less commission was just under £700

    Real World Model 3 UK Experience

    I think the confusing part is the per mile part, if he'd just said 250W then I can relate that to the energy readout in my model S which is typically around 15-20 kW at 40-60 mph, so 250W would be 1.2 - 1.6% of the power consumption. At lower speeds where the motor is only consuming 5-10kW that...

    Real World Model 3 UK Experience

    You're right it doesn't make sense, but I think the context in which he was using that figure was for city driving with FSD in full action (for robotaxi mode) where he said 25% of the energy would be consumed by the FSD computer. It appears, as you say, normal use is quoted at 72W

    Real World Model 3 UK Experience

    HW3 (which all UK RHD cars now have) uses 250 watts per mile (source autonomy day video). Its always on whilst driving even if you are not using autopilot (its running in shadow mode all the time). Dashcam is part of that.

    Sentry mode hardware and setup

    I bought a Samsung T5 1TB on prime day for around £100 (massively discounted). I also bought the JEDA USB Hub and the T5 neatly fits inside. I formatted it with the linux ext4 file system and left it at 1TB. Whether you use fat32 or ext4 you just simply need to create a "TeslaCam" (case...

    Brexit and FSD

    There was a liveblog on teslarati here LIVE BLOG: Tesla (TSLA) Q2 2019 earnings call updates Simon 16:30 PT – RBC Capital Markets asks if Elon Musk expects to offer the full FSD suite in Europe and China, considering regulations? Elon notes that yes, he is expecting a worldwide FSD release. EU...

    Brexit and FSD

    I don't really want this thread to be about how stupid it is to purchase FSD right now. I get it, you're probably right, its stupid right now (given Elon's comments about Europe and FSD at last nights earnings call). The questions i have are: 1. What happens to the EU regulations for vehicles...

    Detailing Product Recommendations

    I've been 2 bucket washing my model S for 5 years and its still in very good condition. I typically rinse with water, foam spray, and then two bucket wash and then leaf blower dry. To eliminate water spots (have very hard water), I've tried an Aqua Gleam filter but don't recommend it as its...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    Width difference might explain it, probably more difficult to pack into container 2070mm (X) - 1850mm (3) = 220mm 1964mm (S) - 1850mm (3) = 114mm

    Why would they not fit, the layout is the same, it's just reversed, i.e. you put left on the right and right on the left.

    Second thoughts on FSD

    I can only admire someone who is able to get 20,000 people to part with $500.00 for "Not a flame thrower"', you can't blame him for trying to get that much for FSD :)

    latest (July) Tesla price changes

    There two different things going on here and they are very different. 1. Hardware, sensors (cameras) on the car which out number and out perform the human equivalent 2. Software, i.e. the brain (the deep neural network / AI) making decisions Today, no one could argue that the human brain is...

    latest (July) Tesla price changes

    The key word in your statement is 'right now', all it takes is enough time and data to train the neural network on pothole recognition. I don't agree that the hardware isn't capable, (the human eye has less resolution and processes less frames per second and you only have 2 of them) its...

    LR AWD vs P3D-

    No, this happened before any VIN's were given out. Originally in the UK we were given 3 options - SR+ - LR AWD - LR AWD Performance + About 2 weeks after the uk launch Tesla removed the LR AWD options above and replaced them with one LR AWD Performance (we call P-) and a new £3700 upgrade...

    LR AWD vs P3D-

    Thats the thing that I think is very confusing for most people. I don't believe there will be any difference in range if you choose to drive at a reasonable speed. That is I think you can have your cake and eat it so to speak. If you want the performance it's there, if you want to drive...

    Yes, should have mentioned "and not added a towbar", because that's a reason that make sense.

    LR AWD vs P3D-

    There are still many people that have stuck with the LR AWD and not upgraded to the P- for the very small (relatively) extra cost. I'm genuinely curious as to why. I appreciate that for the younger generation there is a much bigger hit on insurance premiums for "performance" cars, but for the...

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if the post purchase price of FSD goes up (currently a £1200 difference after purchase). Elon has hinted a number of times at its long term value and I suspect what will happen (barring regulatory approval) is that the next set of FSD features will have some of...

    External Wrap?

    I am, when I finally get it of course, but haven't had much luck, enquired at a few places for PPF + ceramic + window tint and got no replies yet, strangely no one seems interested, either that or they are all very busy. I'm expecting to pay around 3k.
