The M3 is unique. Having test driven several EV's now (the last being the Polestar2) I have decided the reasons why I like the M3 so much is the following: 1. Quiet - almost whisper mode! 2. Instantaneous response from the motor(s). 3. The low seating arrangement and large view ahead (go-kart...

Much appreciated guys - makes sense now, Thanks

Erm - wrong. I'll assume I didn't make myself clear..... I specifically mentioned the words: "on one side of the road". I specifically didn't mention orange or red roads. The red or orange colour is depicted in the format of a red (pencil thick) line. It doesn't fill the road as per Google Maps...

I've noticed when using sat nav in the car that some junctions / stretches of road show an orange (predominently) or red line on one side of a road (sometimes both sides) and at some junctions. Short coloured single lines?? When we get there - there is nothing, no hold up, no traffic....nothing...

I'd hate to be the guy who invested his life savings in 2021 and needed them urgently in 2023, then!

Why would anyone in their right mind - use bitcoin for anything other than gambling? Look at its value over the last 5 years: https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/financial-services/bitcoins-price-history/ One moment you have millions in your bank account and the next - it's been slashed by...

Also - use your "PIN" password option to safeguard your car. Tesla thefts are reduced by up to 75% by using the PIN option. Dead easy to deploy. [Regarding Sentry - you can programme it to switch off at your home and switch on elsewhere if this helps.]

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I go this a couple of days ago; Please remove & reconnect your car in our app to keep using Intelligent Octopus Go. Until you do, smart charging won’t work, so you’ll need to schedule your own charges in the Tesla app. Tesla has changed how their...

This conversation is nuts, Humans run on emotion - hence they are capable of running red lights. Computers run on logic - thus UNABLE to run a red light. Why is there evidence that EV's run red lights - because the software is unreliable and until this is resolved - FSD is going nowhere. Think...

And folks keep on bigging it up and worse still - rushing to purchase it!!!

It is simple - so far I have verbal advice from Tesla saying 'do not fit aftermarket tow bar as it 'may' invalidate your warranty' (connecting to the electrics). I will ask/demand/encourage them to send me an email confirming this. If they confirm this via email - I will NOT fit the tow bar. If...

Well, I am properly confused now! I've heard it from Tesla direct AND the local SC in Chester and they all say the same thing - do not go ahead and fit one??? Your warranty "may be" invalidated? OK - so I am going to get this in writing from them once I drill down deeper into installing one...

And when it comes to connecting into the cars electrics? Don't you think they will spot it and invalidate your warranty?

Presumably I can't sue if I bought a Tesla with FSD already installed and find it unable to perform as advertised - then?

Hi Gareth, I take it you've spoken to Tesla(UK) about retro fitting a tow hitch, then? Yet again - I have approached them locally in person and via the App and yet again months after talking to them initially - they tell me you can't fit one retrospectively because (a) you have to break into...

Condescending tw*t springs to mind.

What on gods earth does flying a plane got to do with FSD?? Let's stay centred on this subject shall we? It's growing arms and legs because (a) it's new(ish) technology and (b) peeps are parting with their money. Ergo it is becoming an emotional subject matter. Facts - let's talk facts .... 1...

Yet peeps will still pay monthly or otherwise for their pipe dream........thousands wasted.

daguerotype = are you for real?

Which is never going to happen!

Best you subscribe monthly then..........Elon's needing the cash to prop up his empire after sacking 10% of the workforce and slashing car prices (again).

Some gullible members (on the Canada site) are opting for the $99/month for fsd(supervised)....you really couldn't make it up! Why not just send Musk a cheque each month for same, whilst carrying on as normal because you have to drive with your hands and feet inches away from the controls whilst...

:D

Good luck guys. A fool and his money..............

"Driving is less stressful and less tiring with an assistance program such as this. If you are driving a long distance, you will be less exhausted when you arrive." Might I suggest that if/when FSD makes a decision (overtaking/lane changes/speed changes) the driver will need to monitor the cars...

You're not answering my question. It might be amazing, but does the driver still need to supervise and monitor at such close quarters - to ensure the car doesn't 'go bandit'?

Thanks for the reply. But it doesn't directly answer my question. You are paying over a thousand bucks each year to take your hands of the wheel. Everything else remains the same. You can't doze off, you can't sight see, you can't read the paper, you can't do anything but concentrate on what the...

So tell me - assuming you go ahead and pay $99/month or $10/month - allowing you to use FSD......do you still have to (a) supervise the car, (b) remain within touching distance of the wheel and pedals and (c) look ahead and second guess what might be coming up and prepare for the worst? If the...

CarGo - I am talking from an holistic perspective. The software engineers must protect the occupants in all scenarios of NORMAL driving. When ALL cars are aotunomous - there will be no boy racers! Problem is......getting from now to when autonomy is compulsory - that is the minefield.

👌

Apologies - didn't realise the Tesla SC didn't do MOT's! Have you called them and asked where others do their MOT's? I believe most garages do EV MOT's as they don't need specialist equipment to carry it out. Nonetheless here is one: https://peacockgarage.co.uk/car-service-prices/tesla/ Good...

Tesla SC at the Greyhound industrial shopping centre, chester.

Reduction of gen braking is a backward step for me. It happened about two downloads ago. I loved "creep" mode! Why remove this function I wonder?

I had my first PB experience last week after 6 months of nothingness. I reported it to Tesla via my APP and lo and behold they came back with: We need your geographical position / time / dashcam data for the incident to investigate. Then I looked on the UK Tesla forum only to find that owners...

mspohr - just think about what I said for a second. It is rare - exceptionally rare - infinitessimally rare - vanishingly rare....... that a human being with family onboard for instance - will deliberately slam the brakes on at speed in the fast lane of a highway (phantom braking). The same goes...

The main criteria should be: It will ALWAYS get you to your destination and it will ALWAYS guarantee your safety. And that is the problem.........this is a pipe dream......and yet thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands have paid serious money betting on a pipe dream. Naive is too weak a...

xcyber - come back in 10 years...they'll still be talking about FSD version 26.11.00 or similar. Full autonomy isn't going to happen as we know it. Full stop. It will require a containment area to capture or prevent stray or bandit autonomous vehicles. IE: Driverless cars locked into a road...

Only yesterday in heavy rain, coming back from the airport; every 5 minutes or so - various messages came up saying anything from: pillar cameras obscured, or lane deviation error, or camera obstructions.....and FSD relies 100% on cameras - no? In fact almost every other day in any precipitation...

Reel 'em in Elon - like taking candy from a kid!

Can't believe anyone in their right mind would spend thousands on something which is years if not a decade immature. FSD has to be one of the best marketing gimicks in automotive yet!

Hi Technokrat - sorry I should have been more specific - how does Canada view the use of FSD leading to eventually fully autonomous cars? Do tesla drivers for example believe the hype that full FSD is just a round the corner?

Whats the general feeling about FSD in Canada?

Yet thousands have bought FSD as an aftermarket download.It's not as if they are buying a normal car accessory - this is serious money (circa £6800??). Naive doesn't even come close. It's truly amazing what marketing hype can do.

Fast forward 2034 and peeps will still be talking on here about FSD version 26.0.0 or similar. Glad that one by one, peeps come to terms with autonomous cars roaming around the countryside as a pipe dream for decades atleast. Approving/monitoring every decision now - is a joke to say the least...

What exactly was your point when you originally replied with that video?

Bouba - you are joking I assume? If autonomous cars are designed to communicate with each other, what is to stop someone from hacking into the vehicle normally and controlling it from a distance then? Do you honestly believe Tesla for example will allow a BYD to 'chat' with it - exchanging...
