If the FSD worked here then I suspect they would introduce the FSD subscription, realistically I don't see anything coming here for at least 2 years. There are cars that have been hacked and things turned on and probably FSD too but I would expect it means turning the Internet and updates off...

Yes I suspected when mine broke it was related to an update to the software so makes sense an update could fix the issue

Yep, it makes a big difference driving a car that has radar and you can actually use the traffic aware cruise control without it doing phantom braking all the time

I wouldn't bother with the Tesla chargers if you are looking for a cheap dumb chargers as you will need a PEN unit for this and it just adds to the costs, you can buy a charger and then get an electrician to install and test it. There are chargers that will work in dumb mode and don't have to be...

I would look for a 2021 car with heat pump, the performance in warranty are going to go for 28-30k at the moment, a LR would go for 25-28k. Any dealer warranty isn’t going to be as good as a Tesla warranty. Worth getting one with a free months manufacturer warranty as then you can get anything...

For the general public, the service centres are really the only way to get anything fixed, usually phone calls and emails go in to the abyss. If they can't fix the car within 6 months I would suggest you look at rejecting the car, especially as there is still no fix for it, perhaps mention more...

I assume you mean that they do buy rather than don't buy! I would go for the Y performance

Yes its been the case from the start, sometimes taking a long time to stop especially if Tesla is having connectivity issues. I suggest doing the schedule a charge from 23:30 so it doesn't start charging straight away, worst case it starts charging at 23:30 and then it gives you a schedule, in...

Depends when he brought the car and the options, at one point a LR could be had for £47k under existing inventory but if he brought it in Dec 2022 then its more like £57k (I think) + say £2k options, so if he then sold it to a dealer for £34k then that sounds about right. I agree that anything...

Yes right now on first look it seems like the retail resale value on the Y isn't that bad, I expect that prices will reduce beyond March when there will be a lot of 2 year ones put up for sale from leases etc. The ID 4 has also lost a lot of value for 2-3 year old models along with other brands...

Really you want to be able to charge at 7kW at your destinations, there are more and more chargers coming online the latest problem I see is Zap Map has now become out of date and decided to stop adding a lot of chargers/networks for some reason and Plugshare seems to be the best option right now

I expect at some point the new v4 chargers may become compatible, I doubt anything will be happening for the older ones apart from using the card with the Tesla online account if that works for your situation

This post was before you could view footage in the car like you can now, so they likely just gave up as its a lot of work to keep apps up to date etc

They reduced the prices in Jan 2023 so you were right in your 2022 prediction a year ago, I expect the UK prices for the Y will be coming down soon. I expect they will introduce more price cuts this year which will be at the same time where 2 year lease cars come up for sale too, not sure if...

I had a 2022 Y and the suspension was awful too, traded in for a used 3 at 50% off, I expect the Y to take a bigger hit from March when all the 2 year 2022 leases come off and they get sent to auction, be interesting to keep an eye on though I think the main reason is that the used EV market...

The EV6 are going fairly cheap especially when you consider the 7 year warranty and 100k mileage, probably one I will keep an eye on in the next year or so I agree that the new car pricing isn't the main issue with the pricing right now as they haven't changed that much in general. With the...

There will be a floor price but will take some time to balance as now the market is being flooded with 2nd hand electric cars The downside of the model 3 being so popular with lease companies in its first few years is that they are just sent to auction when the lease expires, there are...

I had this in my 2019 Model 3 which I was told was the PTC heater, if its under warranty then shouldn't be too much of an issue, out of warranty probably about £500 fitted I expect. It could be something else in your case so perhaps try what the other person has said with the service mode

Rapid chargers are a good choice for supermarkets with nothing in walking distance, clearly not designed for use by locals at those prices but will be a great option for people travelling who may need a half hour break. 7kWh chargers would be great at supermarkets in the centres and some...

If possible I would look for a car park with charging rather than these rent a space parking spaces unless they are very highly rated, I'd only really use the shared parking space if its not possible for you to be blocked in from them selling too many spaces as some space owners are unorganised...

Tesla base many of their trade ins using the pricing of BCA valuations and BCA set the pricing on recently sold vehicles so often in Dec there are less sales and it likely affects the pricing they offer. I'm not sure on how BCA value the software additions, one reason for this large decline...

I think any slowdown will only be short term, the used market for 2-3 year old EVs is probably playing a part in new sales as many people now don't have to buy a new model 3 and have a choice of a used one for example

The PTC heater failure seems to be a common issue, mine failed after about 2 years, I would look to go down the route the other person posted and try to claim under the consumer laws as it is essential at this time of the year to use the car

I would just do it in a spreadsheet, when calculating the savings I would do them separate for the solar and battery like 2 entities then put them together at the end for the total savings. If charging the battery from the solar then I would count that as selling electric to the battery with the...

The auto wiper abomination has been there from the start and nothing changed, can't see anything happen either unless they retrofit with a sensor!

The only reason I would be looking at a lower mileage car would be to keep it in warranty, for a 2019 P then I would expect a non Tesla dealer to sell for around £22-£24k and for a 2020 in warranty I would expect around £23-£26k. I always thought about getting a used car from Tesla for that 1...

My heater went just after the 2 year mark in the winter, basically the car will be unusable during this period and difficult to drive to the service centre when it gets cold due to the windows misting up etc. I just dropped the car off asap without a loaner and got it fixed within a week I...

I don't think that the 2019 has particular nasty things to avoid, there will obviously be wear and tear and items, my PTC heater did need replacing after a few years along with the ball joints needing replacing. I assume you have a LR so if you have only lost £20k in depreciation then you are...

It is 100% a rubbish and flawed design, replacing them after a few months and worrying about losing your key is not what a key fob holder is about, much better to buy a full enclosure from ebay/amazon!

If. you succeeded in getting a part refund for your first FSD purchases based on what the OP has said about depreciation when selling the car on, this would be a major win for the consumer! At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla went full Google Stadia (cancel and refund) in certain...

There are 50+ SR+ 2019/20 under £25k with less than 40k miles on autotrader I think around that price based on the mileage and age

Probably someone looking for a charger then saw yours, must be a newbie!

Would be surprised if there is not the ability to either check colour or type of vehicle and the ANPR data also if there was a van with a green plate that clearly had an exhaust probably would raise a lot of suspicion tbh!

There isn't any reason for EV's to park in large numbers or next to each other in Luton Car Park 2 as there are no chargers there, the limited chargers are in Car Park 1!

I would be contacting to them to see if they can manage this claim, unsure if there needs to be a third party to claim from though

Yep usually just order a week or so before the official dates and not had to wait much longer than people waiting months! Yep, would not be considering a vehicle without USS, that video is quite worrying for people relying on the USS at the front!

I would expect a rush for the end of the month but they seem to be cutting it fine this time!

I would think that the only practical difference between AP Beta and TACC is lane assist

I would see this as completely separate to whether I am saving money on running costs or not as that money could be literally used anywhere else, what I would say is if you feel you get good value from it then keep it. For me there was no point I already had hotspot data and the Spotify didn't...

Yes surprisingly how so many get distracted by flashing lights of other tariffs but the total cost at the end of the month is what counts!

Insurance on Y/3 is expensive for some people, double other cars including faster EVs as you also mention. I found the steering correction and lane departure to be most useless, coming on when not required. The major annoyance is the standard cruise control or AP braking far more than any non...

Classic Tesla service! Thanks for the update, that might explain why water ingress isn't a widely reported problem, definitely put me off the after market mods too!

Just wondering how you got on with them fixing your car, did they manage to do it all without problems?

Not like it did originally it now polls the Tesla API when the car is awake as opposed to keeping it awake It creates the schedule as long as its kept awake long enough, in some cases I never receive a schedule if the car is asleep when I plug in for example until the 2330 period but to be fair...

I am quite sure everyday many people try and drive away with the car plugged in, if there was a bug that allowed it to happen then this would be happening often, 100x more likely an ICE car drives away with the pump nozzle attached!

Must be a sad person to want to spend any extra time at that SC location, always busy and nothing much to do round there. It is down to the car parking management to deal with these things which in this case they did, but on the signs it should say about needing to charge in order to park and...

Yes I think that is the case but I read somewhere about the Structural Battery Pack not being repairable which is concerning for those that end up with one of these batteries (don't know which at present) "Sandy Munro says Tesla's Model Y battery pack has 'zero repairability,' so a minor...

Now that there are an extra 12 (Non Tesla) chargers at Gretna Green hopefully that will help reduce the queues on the 4 Tesla chargers, not cheap at 79p KwH but many people would choose them over queuing, which may help you get on to the superchargers quicker to use your miles.

Before the price drops, dealers were already worried and expecting some price drops of sort so have been hesitant to make good offers for a few months, before the price drops the cheapest Model Ys were around 44-45 by dealers and now they are trending at 41-42, more notably is the increase of...

Yes for a long while this was what set Tesla apart when there wasn't so much variation and the "No discounts" policy hence everyone buying new would be paying the same full price, now they are offering discounts it has a direct effect on used car prices.
