Raise a service request. They will look at it remotely and may be able to give you an indication of why. Or set a scheduled start time as a diagnostic tool. If it still starts itself at other times (more than 4 hours after the scheduled time) then it thinks the app told it to. If it fixes the...

Is it? I know there was an issue but i don't recall the alarm being involved. It was the whole car stopping. This could be a completely different issue

So is your car out of warrentee then?

This. I have been with Admiral for years. Every year they bump it up. every year I call them and they bring it down again.

The work and home settings 100% are. good point though I am not sure about the global setting.

the Y has quite a significant flair at the back so I guess it needs a larger area protected. I have a friend with an M2 competition which has a wide rear track that also has a large PPF areas for the same reason You could probably have it replaced by a pro with some that is less obvious but I...

I am assuming a different person parked it then you got in in the morning and the settings you were looking at were yours not the last person to drive it? The one that matters is the one who was driving when it was parked. The app just shows the current state. It would have shown it as ON...

Honestly its never bothered me. Glad to have it on this and all the other cars i have had with it. Here is a picture of the skoda i had before the tesla.

I was going to say this. Yes it is profile dependant. Need to check the settings for each driver.

Lots and Lots of cars have stone chip guard in that position. Any car with any sort of flared wheel arch will get stone chips there. Start looking as you drive and you will be surprised how many you see. My 2019 M3 with mudguards since day one was peppered in stone chips in that location. Tesla...

yeah you should be able to but the system that does the VED and the one the police use are not linked in real time only by nightly batch jobs so if the batch has not run (and it may have not run on the bank holiday, or it may have crashed) this sort of thing can happen. The safest thing is not...

So where do we want the next upgrade? if we all turn up there at the same time and queue, having tipped off the tabloids of course, then maybe we can get that one fast tracked :)

The "DVLA" sent you a fine for driving without VED? normally fines are issued by the police? Am I correct in thinking you you taxed it on the 1st of May and you got the penalty for driving it on the 2nd? if so just out of interest what time of day did you do it?

I am no Tesla apologist but I think (hope) this is probably an outlier. My personal experience across two cars over 4 years and 30K miles has been one failed handbrake servo on a 2019 Fremont car.

not in Scotland :p

However you did give them the oxygen of publicity by posting their nonsense story here there by possibly getting them additional clicks / revenue.........just sayin.

It has felt like the tabloids have been waging a war on EV's since the back end of last year. Once they cottoned onto the rich vein "of I set off on a 500 mile journey in a car with a range of 200 miles without doing any planning and it took me a month and my whole family died" stories there...

Perhaps it was the mad rush to remove them 6 months before even having a viable alternative ( some would say we still don't) that lead people to think cost must be a factor? doesn't make sense doing that unless you are trying to save money. Otherwise why not leave in place until you have a...

We are a small island and space is generally tight here. Many of our carparks were built when the average car was about 1.5m wide ( excluding mirrors). a lot of cars are about 30+cm wider than that now so yes our carparks can be very tight in the UK for modern cars and SUV's. Even in newer...

I belive the notification occurs 20-30 minutes after it is opened to warn you it has been left open so if you accidently did it last thing in the evening you would be on airplane mode before the notification. Not saying this is what happened just that the facts as presented do not rule it out.

yes but when did it open? Do you know when the notification was generated? it could have been open all night from before the phones were out of use.

which one do you think you have? bench or boot lid. I have the boot lid creak. I have not been able to find the source. All I have established is that if you lie in the boot while it is being driven and press up on either side of the boot lid it stops. There are 4 adjustable "stops" on the boot...

The tabloids seem to be waging total war on EVs right now. Between all the negative press and the energy prices people seem to have soured on them right now. There are some amazing used bargains right now.

shine a bright light on it and see if you can see any hairline cracks. If you can then whether they will replace it for free may be a toss up. Take some photos if there are no cracks in case any "appear" during the replacement process.

I am in the Bratton/Shawbirch area so I don't think we could be much further apart and still both be in Telford! I'll keep an eye out, though TBH these days I would probably have more luck spotting you if you had a silver Ford Fiesta 🤣

I am in Sunny Telford. I assume you are somewhere in the region otherwise its a bit of a random question 🤣

With a 7kw charger the difference between what you consume and what ends up in the battery is typically thought to be about 10% though this may be an average and thus higher in winter. with a UMC it is more like 15%. Overall the difference between what you consume and the usage based on your...

I have had Peugeots and BMW minis that used a lot of oil. 1litre/1000 is the number i was give for them as well for in spec. I think it's almost an industry standard though the actual l usage varies hugely.

Yes but the question was "at a constant 70" even assuming there is not traffic aren't chunks of that stretch of the M4 now permanently 50mph? So what speed are you actually averaging?

If it only happens when stopped you may be right. If it was the compressor tnen it would happen all the time when the ac is on. If its a fan on the condensor then makes sense it would only be if AC is on and car is stationary.

As others have said i would be shocked if end of q2 offers are not at least as good as what you have now. I would let it go and get one then.

I think I'd rather pay the fine

I was reading a story about vehicle cloning recently and I was thinking how similar Tesla's are to each other with only 5 colours and very few trim variations. from the front they all look very similar and I was thinking of doing something like that.

If the thieves havw any sense they would put a sticker over it...

As far as I know there is no registration for ULEZ unless you are driving a foreign vehicle. also Op is from London so would be odd if he did not if it is required Its not. You have to register for the congestion charge and pay a fee.

OK fair point

At least you don't have to worry about getting any ULEZ fines if someone sticks them on another car.

I read that the motors were basically the same as those in the Plaid

I imagine lights are easier to spot than rain drops so 🤞

From what I read matrix headlights are controlled via a camera which obviously the Tesla has but is it high enough resolution to control matrix functions? Could it be that this is something we will see introduced after the alleged upgrade to 5MP cameras that is coming soon? And thus only on...

It has been a long time since I did my glass technology module at Uni but from memory I am not sure what step in the process people think Tesla are skipping to produce these alleged cheap soft windscreens? Windscreen glass is windscreen glass, . It is not tempered on any windscreen as far as I...

Who said anyone is blaming Tesla? The Ops issue is on a Tesla so he posted on a Tesla forum. It may have been a Tesla specific problem (its not) . How do you find that out? You ask the question on a Tesla forum. Let's not turn a simple question into a crusade shall we?

Does seem unusual but there is nothing inherently special about a Tesla windscreen so I would suggest google since your question will hit a much wider pool of knowledge and the experiences of owners of other types of car are likely to be perfectly relevant to you as well.

That is not really normal. It was the case many years ago but for most people now the phantom drain is a lot less than that like less than a quarter of that. I lost no more than that when I left mine at an airport for a week in April. 2% is far too little for sentry mode so I assume you have...

Here is the deal ok. You can have white seats but (and remember I have read most of the threads you started) when you get them and you can't clean them please promise us you won't start a thread about how terrible they are and someone should have warned you? Fair enough?

My thoughts on a white interior? No

I live in the middle of the country, I have a drive, Most places I go are in roundtrip range. If I visit relatives further a field I just charge at their house ( which I insist on paying for). I do 12K miles down from 20K pre-covid but I tend to DC charge only about 4 times a year tops and I...

you are missing the point(s) . :) Speeding is not parking. The police want to know who was driving to assign points. Its the keepers responsibility to say who was driving. Just wondering how that works with a lease car?

Slightly off Topic but car dealer near me was fined recently for failing to disclose who the driver of a vehicle was after a speed camera caught the car and it made me wonder if the finance companies insist on making themselves the keeper of their vehicles (even though they patently aren't)...

The DVLA's Vehicle licencing software was refreshed nearly 10 years ago and is still in beta I appreciate that there is no safety related issue here but the govt is on thin ice when it comes to talking about beta software...
