I'd suggest people put through a report. If everyone is saying the same thing they should act. Can you still do a voice command in the car with "bug report"? that's probably the best way of reporting as they'll get sensor info. So if you say "bug report", followed by something like "unable to...

they've definitely changed something. I was fighting it a couple of weeks back as I'd not hit this issue before. Turned the whole climate control off and it would turn it back on. I thought at first it was the app getting stuck trying to pre heat the car. As Others have said, setting it to...

I've had both the front and rear upper arms fail. Only the one rear one was done within warranty as they "couldn't find an issue" with the others at the time, despite being noisy. I probably could have kicked up a fuss, but I don't have the energy. So I've paid them to replace the fronts and...

you can also get spacers like these: https://www.driftworks.com/3-5mm-slip-on-tesla-m3-performance-wheel-spacers-5x114-pcd-69-7mm-cb-in-silver-pair.html They're designed to go over the lip so you can fit any normal wheel and spigot ring. they push the wheel out a tiny bit too which looks better...

I'd say 25% was actually quite good. I saw a 40% increase with a no fault claim on a different car (someone drove into the front of the wife's leaf and instantly admitted liability and their insurance sorted it all) and most of the people in the office have seen 40-45% increases with no change...

I don't think I had to agree to pay over 3 years ago but any of the SC work in the last 3 years I've always had to agree a price to fix it, which was then deleted and covered by warranty. I'd be interested to know what they find, as I currently have "slight creaking" and when they replaced the...

Yea, I'm probably going to give the powerflex arms a go. Tesla have had my rear suspension appart 4 times and each time I've got about 6 months out of it. They replaced the rear upper arms last year and it's squeaking again, the front arms have been squeaking for 2 years now but apparently not...

Just pay the £3400 for enhanced autopilot and summon the car out of the impound. Simple! ;)

Here's the line item for the rear arm that made my model 3 sound like a clown car. The bush had delaminated. RR UPR FORE LINK ASSY, STMP (1044427-00-C) 1.00 £135.63

In their defence, my offside headlight nearly always points in the air after a firmware update, not every time but most times, it's incredibly annoying, Drive home, get flashed by everyone, remember the update, try to find somewhere flat while getting flashed, pull over, run the auto level...

Many if the systems are linked and run through the same bus. This has the advantage of meaning much less wiring and simpler looms, but has the issue that one simple failure can cause a whole load of issues, and it's easy to assume the fault is further down the chain than it is. I had the initial...

I'm not referring to saying just pay tesla. You have to provide the bank data, but if your online system cannot decipher the IBAN and no disrespect toliamth91 when I say loads of banking software is dreadful, but getting better. If you provide a human with an IBAN and the system refuses to take...

I wouldn't bother calling Tesla, Although banking apps are much better now at detecting details, for large transactions like this I'd call the bank and ask them to make the transaction. They have all the data of the recipient and can ensure the funds are going to the right person and will see...

I was providing feedback to Tesla last year with a nasty bug they had in the firmware causing a buffer overflow type error with the Radar unit, which basically crashed part of the canbus. While chatting with the techs on the issue looking for workarounds in case it happened while I was on the...

Mine has recently done this a couple of times, and ignoring the brake, so I have to open and shut the door to get the screen back. A couple of firmware releases ago I also had it where you couldn't get the screen to wake up if it was just the passenger (I though the seat sensor had failed) but...

have they actually specified a power saving for these sentry modes? I don't really have an issue with sentry other than flashing the lights at on-coming cars if you are parked on the road. The issue I have is the battery drain on an SR+. If turning off the camera detection also allows the main...

could you get it installed alongside solar to get the vat off it? I'm not sure if there's a minimum requirement you have to hit for it to class as a solar install. Could you get one panel on your shed and call it solar with battery. Ideally I'd run a battery (or two) and a decent solar setup...

Might be the same issue I had. Notable squeak from the rear, got so bad it sounded like I was driving round an old bed/clown car Part replaced was 1044427-00-C Right Rear upper forearm Link Assembly. The bad news it it took 4 months for them to get the part. The good news is, they told me they...

I was driving through Austria into Germany and had a small panic when it said I had 59km to go and would get to the hotel (without a charger) with 19% remaining, as planned... when I looked over I currently had 19% battery remaining ... and 59 km to go. Initially I thought maybe it's crashed and...

radar won't be used for parking, it's used to detect distant objects. Having said that I believe it may have been intel that were demonstrating quite an interesting use for radar, they had ground penetrating radar in some of their self driving cars that would map out the roads as they drove...

You're thinking about it wrong. Once all the people that "man math" purchased their Tesla can't afford to heat their house or use electricity in the day. Rather than have to shell out thousands more for a power wall you can now just move into your car and live there over winter, running on...

alternate routes is probably on the top of my "why can't it just do this" list. Having bought a Leaf back in 2015 with its fastest/shortest/eco route options it very quickly became apparent that the fastest route is often the worst route, and quite often only saved a few minutes. When my Tesla...

I don't see why not, there's almost no difference between Go and any of the multi-rate "economy 7" tariffs that have been available since the 70s. The night rate is a bit lower and shorter, but that's about it. Flex is a different kettle of fish, but Go should be covered if they are indeed going...

point 2 is my biggest bugbear. It's taken over 5 years for Tesla to add waypoints, so I'm not hoping for a fix any time soon. My Leaf has 3 options, quickest, shortest and eco, which given the short range was pretty essential, but after a couple of years into the leaf I found that actually what...

I'll let you know next week :p mine has rear suspension that sounds like a squeaky old bed/clown car. Tesla have booked it in to fix it 4 times now but the parts keep not arriving as expected, so it gets re booked....

It really depends on the damage. It looks to me like that would be repairable rather than need replacing. They won't replace the wing anyway, that would be 'massaged' back into place and then a tiny bit of filler and then blended back in. The bumper possibly the same, unless it's actually...

I had mine booked in for squeaky suspension which they said they could fix with a ranger coming out to me until I pointed out that I'd reported rear suspension not front (they'd just automatically assumed it was this issue) it sounds like an old bed/clown car at low speeds. Unfortunately it was...

This is possibly the same bug I was speaking about in this thread https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/ecall-and-radar-bug.271744 If it is Tesla were asking people with the issue if it happens before they set off or while driving (for me, while driving).

you used to get asked by service to make sure you had tried a soft reset and if that didn't work a hard reset with the brake peddle. But I have no idea when that stopped being a thing, and it's possible that it didn't even do much back when the SC was suggesting it. Communication has never been...

Pretty sure if it's just a feature or bug fix then it always uses wifi, if the update contains a critical bug/recall then it will get downloaded over LTE if it doesn't get it over wifi first. Also regarding reboot, you can't do a full reboot any more (brake peddle) after it started causing more...

My car is covered in them :( even the slightest brush seems to leave little scratches all down the side of the car. They do easily polish out, but as the paint is so thin I'm fairly sure I'd just burn through the clear coat if I did it too often. It's mainly the wing bumper and wing mirror, so...

I've been speaking with Tesla about a couple of issues I've started to have recently. The first was that I have been getting repeated ecall failure messages, several over the last couple of months, they sometimes go away other times need a soft reboot and always reappear temporarily after a soft...

Pah .. I did mine the day I picked it up!. But if it makes you feel better, I was parked up next to this guy the other day, same on the back wheel :rolleyes:

regarding the elevated position, unless anything has changed, you can easily remove the back bench seat (just remember to unclip the wire) then flip it over and it fits on the dash. This allows the rear seat backs to fold fully flat.

Welcome! Has it had the CCS charger upgrade? That's definitely something I'd want. It's also nice to see the - get the car to the customer first and then sort out all the issues you should have already sorted out later- experience is applied to the used cars as well as the new ones ;)

If you have a car charger fitted they generally either need to have a proper dual pole isolator fitted before the consumer unit or also have to book the DNO guys to be onsite at the same time. In my last house I had to pay £120 to get the isolator fitted before I could have a charger as it was a...

don't have a link, but I did check them a couple of months back and you can swap out of Go but there was a restriction on re-joining, like you could leave with just a month's notice but only re-join after 3 months. But like the others have said, you need to factor in your total consumption...

My brother recently had this from BlackCircles (camskill don't stock the 20's in the correct size) He ordered some Pilot Sport and got an email warning him that he had selected a none tesla approved tyre and they may not be suitable. They delivered them anyway (we have fitting machines) but I'm...

wow that's pretty excessive. The car does alert if it detects an anomaly with the battery, which should happen before any failure. Also a jump pack should get the car started again in an emergency and then the internal charge circuits should keep things running unless there's like a hole in the...

I've had these kicking about for a bit that we've not had time to test. They're pre-production but should be somewhat final. We also do KW so would be nice to compare. And we've got a 4 wheel alignment ramp :p

The map data is not updated very often. I'm sure it does avoid pedestrian/bike/bus only areas and such if it knows about them, but I would never assume it has the correct routing restrictions or speed limits. If it's not clear that the road was restricted you could make a complaint in the hope...

The reason why some garages won't want to repair an existing puncture is that the rubber plugs and glue should amalgamate with they tyre, meaning you cant just pull them out, you'd have to drill a new hole and cut/sand them off on the inside. If it's done properly the chance of it popping out...

you say that, but generating 1Kw of resistive heat uses 1Kw in a tesla and 1Kw in an 8 year old leaf. Admittedly the Tesla can move heating and cooling about better, but on most shorter journeys that's not going to make much difference. Heat pumps can get you a 3+ x return on energy vs...

My Brother is just switching, but the issue for him is he was with British Gas and they came to install a smart meter but when the engineer turned up he said ... oh you're on a dual tarrif (eg economy 7) British gas can't support that on a smart meter ...... and left ..... amazing! so now he has...

I though that too when I had a nice video of my suspension making a noise like two wine bottles clanking each time I went forwards or backwards (I really did think the Mrs had left a load of wine in the boot .... very unlike her). However when I went to book it in there was only the add pictures...

I know there's a lot of companies just jumping on the "things have got more expensive" bandwagon, but with electricity it really has. I don't know where the power for the super chargers comes from, but it's possible that in some services they have to buy through the same provider that the main...

Just out of interest, how much did the sparky charge to fit the the type B and socket. I've got a friend that's currently getting quotes for a charger, and unfortunately hit, what I like to call, the "wedding cake situation" with installers ..... you want a cake? £10. Ohhh it's for a wedding...

You say that ... but the current Octopus flat rate is now 40p 😦 or 39p with their "loyalty" bonus ....... so octopus go at 30p peak and 7.5p off peak. But yea if you have a 16p fixed rate or something you'd have to run the math. One other thing to consider if you were going to go solar/battery...

Financial sense is an odd one to base a model Y on, as even if you consider high residual values, I don't think financially it's a better option than an MG5 that would cost less than half the cost, still have a base level of lane assist and still do a steady 200+ miles on a charge. Also...

I spoke to one of the service guys last week while I was charging. I asked if they knew when cars would actually get recalled, he said he didn't know but you could just book it in yourself via the app and have it done if you wanted. I'm just waiting, but if you're is flickering get it booked in...
