Small sample size of course, but not in my experience. I've only had AEB on one other car before my M3, the ID.3. It was significantly more sensitive than my M3 and & I had two full on AEB braking incidents in the 14 months that I had the car. Both in the exact same spot. It's a road on a slight...

AEB is now required by Euro NCAP for a car to get a 5 star rating. I'm not certain, but I believe part of the requirement is that it can't be turned off permanently, so it's not a Tesla decision. Unless you count them wanting to have a 5 star rating as part of that decision. Certainly not...

I haven't looked into it in any detail, but from snippets I've picked up online, there seems to be an issue with EVs in general at the moment. Obviously we know that online posts are often utter nonsense, but there's enough noise to suggest there's a wider issue. If I were to guess, it seems the...

Before now, PCP has almost always been better on paper than leasing, even if you planned to return the car at the end of the agreement instead of paying the final figure. It's only in very recent months that leasing may look more attractive because the residuals on EVs (not just Teslas) are...

I installed my TeslaMate in February last year & it hasn't been updated since. The container had been up for 586 days without even restarting. Last week I did a Docker pull to update the fixes for the new car software version & it just worked fine, with no fuss. YMMV of course, but it was fine...

But you don't own a Tesla with FSD, you own a car that has the capability for it once it releases in the the UK. At the moment, it has the same software as everyone else outside the US. As others have stated, the article is baseless with no actual information about what this person is so...

Thankfully you can cancel the auto high beam & keep AP on. Just push forward on the left stalk & you'll see the greyed out HB icon will turn off on the screen.

Mine doesn't. The only way I can get AC or recirculation is to change to manual. Can you double check how yours works if you have a minute next time you drive? Having the AC set to off really doesn't help with defogging, and often will make it worse if the weather is cold & humid. I may log a...

I think this has always been the case if you get in the car before it thinks it's finished defrosting. I believe the functionality is that whatever the setting is when you get in the car is what "sticks" until you change it. If you leave it long enough to finish defrosting before you get in the...

Probably more common than you'd think. New car registrations are bought in bulk & allocated to particular garages or showrooms. My son & I had consecutive letters on both our e-Golfs and then our ID3s we bought new at the same time.

I had this issue yesterday with 3 people in the car (cold & drizzly weather). I did notice that with the climate on Auto if the cabin is cold, it forces the AC to off & you can't turn it back on unless you change to manual. If the AC is off, the inside of the car will steam up pretty quickly (AC...

Sounds like the app activity cookies you agreed to originally may have expired & needed refreshing. Did it pop up when you accessed a screen you don't usually? What was the actual wording?

Except Tracker. From the FAQ:

Some interesting comparisons for insurance across different cars, with roughly equivalent ICE cars vs Teslas. TL;DW - It's not just Teslas or electric cars that are expensive now, everything is.

Like a lot of the other software changes, I suspect the single pull AP decision was data driven rather than just a random idea someone came up with. Perhaps a very small percentage of people engage plain TACC. As others have said, at least they made it an option... It seems there may be a...

I have had a few occasions where I have been flashed by cars behind when AP has slowed as it's passing cars. Admittedly they were almost certainly driving too close behind and any accident would probably be deemed as their fault, but that's not the point. The M40/A40 and M25 are notoriously bad...

Well, there are two of us working from home, with very beefy PC setups & 4 screens each. My base draw during the day is usually around 7-900w. We wouldn't save much in the overall scheme of things by shutting them off for an hour, but my point was more about why it can possibly take Octopus so...

My app still says they are "running the numbers". I'm not expecting much (if anything) because I couldn't reduce usage as I was still WFH at the time of the session. But what numbers can they be running that take days? Surely it's a simple automated calculation of MyPreviousAverage -...

I drive that same section quite often at night in both directions & have never had the issue you describe. I don't recall having any dry wipe issues at night. It happens for me occasionally when the sun is low in front of the car, but very very rarely to be honest. From your description of it...

Along with the mileage being important, you don't mention if you owe any finance on the car. I assume not, as you didn't say. Up until quite recently, I would have almost certainly had the opinion that changing for a new car would be the better option, but with the current rate of depreciation...

I've set up an action that opens the boot when the phone is upright & the charging flap when the phone is upside down. They are the only two things I would really want while on the move & approaching the car. Neither have any kind of confirmation or need to confirm anything on the screen, so I...

To cover the other side of the ask, I'm on Tracker on SMETS2 & had no issues. Doesn't rule out your particular combination though, of course...

It cancels for me most of the time with the half press, too. Sometimes it doesn't which is odd, you'd expect it to be one way or the other consistently. Though we are talking about Tesla, so I guess nothing should be a surprise...

I put Duel Flex hydrophobic coating on my car & can get away with just rinsing with a pressure washer for at least 2 or 3 weeks after a full wash, sometimes a lot longer if I'm not using the car much. I then dry the car with my leaf blower, so it's completely no-touch to avoid any grit swirls...

It never has, you have to re-engage manually. Also, sometimes indicating cancels autosteer automatically, other times it doesn't so you force it off when turning the wheel (with the annoying snagging sensation)...

There doesn't appear to be any detail on the BG website about the specific tariff that this would be attached to, but I think it's a relatively safe bet to assume it would be their Electric Driver V2. For me, the rates are these: They have a 5 hour off peak rate 00:00 to 05:00. It's slightly...

I don't think wifi can wake up the car once it goes to sleep. It may keep it awake, but as your car is actually sleeping sometimes it seems unlikely this will be the cause. You may want to think about changing the password on your Tesla account to force all connected apps to log out. You'll need...

I suspected as much. I'll defer the update for a while & see if the integration gets updated.

It's not waking the car, but mine seems to be a bit "odd" today. Maybe there's some kind of connectivity issue. When did your problem start? I used the car yesterday morning & it's been asleep for over 21 hours according to TeslaFi, but 13 hours ago it seems to have had a weird set of updates...

TeslaFi may have implemented a fix for their location data before it became a problem. They are already working on the new Fleet API. From their update notes 3 weeks ago:

Mine has exactly the same options but doesn't wake the car unless it's running an automation I've set up. Do you have any automations set up that use the Tesla entities?

Has anyone with HA automations updated to 2023.38.6 yet? I've not deferred an update since I got my car but this one I'm waiting to see if it breaks anything, like it has with TeslaMate...

My MSM has a small amount of bubbling there, but I would never have noticed it if not for this thread. I'll keep an eye on it over the next 12 months & get it sorted if it gets any worse. For the time being, I think it's best left alone.

Personally, I use a secure password manager for all my logins. I've made arrangements for the master password for that system to be passed to my family in the event that anything should happen to me. It has notes against any important sites or accounts. Everything is digital these days, I have...

I really like the fact that the inside of my M3 is nice & dark at night, without all the button backlights and light pollution from an instrument cluster or driver display. I've never really understood the need to have "mood lighting" inside a car, personally. If it has some kind of functional...

All of those are valid points to consider, but there's no exact science; insurance is as much of a postcode lottery as it is to do with the car you drive and the options you choose at quotation time. Even changing what you say your profession is can dramatically affect a quote. There's nothing...

That wasn't the case when I got my car in Feb last year. Tesla gave me around £100 less for my ID3 than I was offered by any of those. It was 100% worth taking that small hit for the convenience of dropping off the old car at the collection point, and not running the gauntlet of the other...

Which version are you on now & what do you consider to be a "considerable time"? Looking back at my data, it's not unusual to have updates 3-4 weeks apart.

Yes, you do need to be a bit careful with it, as it doesn't need you to be near the car & will work from anywhere...

I just moved from Android (Samsung Note 20 Ultra) to Apple (15 Pro Max). Adding the new phone as a key was as simple as installing the Tesla app and logging in. Didn't even have to go to the car or set anything up on the screen. I just logged into the app on my new phone & it automatically set...

My car has always done this, seemingly randomly. Most of the time it only shows a few vehicles, or those immediately surrounding me at a junction/roundabout/traffic lights. But then on occasion it will render a screen full of cars for no apparent reason. Last time I remember noticing it was...

Yes, £51,090, which was the price for the LR with MSM paint & 18" wheels at the time.

Out of idle curiosity, I just checked the trade-in value of my car. I'd be half tempted with a MY at those interest rates. M3LR, MSM, Registered Feb 2022, 9500 miles. Tesla offer £27,800....! Ouch.

You can get a settlement figure immediately in the app if you have finance through Tesla directly. Scroll down on the app to Financing (on the home screen, not in your account page), then press Loan Details, Manage Loan, Early Payoff. It gives you a settlement figure there & then. Be careful to...

Agree with most of what's been said about the watch. I recently moved to Apple from Google devices & picked up an Ultra 2 watch a couple of weeks ago. The main reason was the longer battery life, so I don't have to charge it so often. Even now, I still have to charge it every day or can just...

This is a "feature" of AP, starting from the 2023.32.x software update, not just affecting you as a visitor. My car also doesn't like overtaking on the motorway any more... (along with many others)

As far as I understand it, the showroom staff are not sales staff and don't get paid commission. They are there to answer questions about the car & deal with test drives/service appointments only. Personally, I think this is a much better setup than being "sold to" by a salesman. No offense to...

But how many would have been sold in 2022 if the Model Y wasn't available? I'd wager it would be significantly higher than the 2021 figure. The MY is a more practical car for many, so has taken over as the highest selling car in Europe and has taken away a significant volume of sales from the...

Have you changed the language in your car to British English? That was added relatively recently (update 11 maybe?) & made a lot of difference to the voice recognition for me (not that I use it very often).

I find it quicker & easier to use the home screen widget than the actual app when away from the house. At home I just use the Home Assistant integration because I tend to have the dashboard open already. In fact I rarely open the app at all (it just stays open in the background).
