It’s a convertible, it’s never going to be as efficient as you will get with a hard top. But 400 mile city range is not too shabby. I’ve done 120+ in a convertible, it’s top speed is plenty. Lots of things to like - including many features not on a Tesla. But it’s a completely different type...

You can just ask for the cost of the parts in the app as well as cost of fitting. You can find exact part numbers in the online electronic parts catalog (epc.tesla.com) for your car. Otherwise something like mirror glass they would hopefully just go on your description. Sounds like you have...

You will probably get a quicker response raising a service request in the app, or maybe not...

It was a Model 3 but was missing a few bits. Based on purchase price and what Tesla delivered, ours could be thought of as a Model 2.7 because its missing 10% of the functionality, by cost, that we paid for.

I had a big long scratch on inside of windscreen from factory. Tesla first suggested that I try and polish it out, before they tried and ultimately replaced the windscreen. It was a very deep scratch in places, and polishing made no difference to those, but I recon it did a bit in the less deep...

As is navigating by pub names...

We had to use public charging for first few months - trust me, the novelty of making a special trip to charge the car soon wears off. We have been using 10A home charging since, in addition to a typical weekly free 30-40% topup regular visit that typically uses 15-20% for the round trip to get...

Several people have made RFID rings by dissolving the key card and forming the internal chip and antenna into working ring. That’s far more severe than a surface scuff. Typical Tesla BS excuse. Thankfully they are cheap and trivial to self program but that’s not the point.

Our previous car was bought via a broker and was effectively a Dutch order of a RHD car but first registered in UK and collected/paid for from a large UK dealership. Nothing at all to know that it was not a UK order other than the pre order paperwork/build schedule. Can’t remember what we...

Is that right? I thought it was 3 months, hence I haven’t been back for them to re-do what they supposedly fixed* under warranty in September. * I don’t actually think they fixed the original cause of the fault (seems to be a common cable issue caused during build of a part that was never...

I think this is what you are looking for What's people's experience with the M3, towbar bike carriers and bikes?

You can actually get tow bars that will only fit certain bike racks. I don’t know how common these are but it will limit bike rack that can be fitted. I know our bike rack is not compatible but a slightly different version is (and with standard tow balls). I think the bike rack only tow balls...

That’s follow distance. OP is talking about speed.

It’s been doing it far longer than 2024.8.x i recon I’ve seen it for at least 6 months. Maybe it was a nav update?

Sounds like it’s limited at 16A. If you have DNO permission to output more than 16A, then hopefully it’s a setting in the inverter. Worth checking the fuse size for the inverter circuit. If it’s 16 or 20A, then likely the 16A limit is for a reason, ie that’s the limit of the circuit.

Just be aware that pre conditioning when plugged in is not cheap as it’s likely to be peak rate electricity and potentially higher carbon than an off peak charge, especially something like an Octopus IO charge that may have been optimised for carbon. Tbh, we dont bother pre conditioning unless...

So where does it get its tiles when you are in an underground car park with no connectivity? Its a rhetorical question. It use to allow significant panning of the map, but I don’t think it’s as far reaching as it was. Ie map data is probably cached but not so much now.

It use to be silky smooth, so clearly not a CPU constraint. Just a hunch, but I suspect things have got a bit more bloated so it’s got less memory to play with so cannot cache as much. It was once very rare to see it waiting to load a map tile.

Random traffic lights on motorways and especially in tunnels is not a new thing. The latter is totally reproducible in same locations and pretty obvious what is causing the confusion. Traffic lights on motorways seems to be caused by spurious lights on gantry’s, especially red dots. But I have...

I moved away from Apple back to Windows for precisely that reason. I use to regularly run software that cost quite a few thousand quid. Apart from a few minor cosmetic differences, it was identical on both Mac and Windows. Keeping it, and other software up to date just to keep it compatible...

Whilst it’s a minor inconvenience, I do actually like to detect when car is offline. Previously it was an indicator that all was not right running up to our MCU failure. I still get it occasionally, most notably when parked in partially underground car park, so that can be ignored. But other...

From the TeslaMate thread: What’s the latest on this? Car, connectivity or software specific? Is this the new normal?

Historically, Tesla have a track record of releasing on latest hardware first then implementing on legacy hardware later if capable (or they have the will or desire). Just because it’s not being released on MCU2 now does not mean it’s not capable to be. It just means that it’s been implemented...

Are you using sentry (or other things that may not allow car to sleep) ?

Don’t be hung up about south facing. That may best for peak power, but east/west may potentially give peak energy. And this time of year, even north facing becomes an option.

Any numbers for ‘thefts from’? There was quite a spate of cases in US where rear quarter light panel was being broken and contents of boot accessed. It looked to be trivial to do from some of the videos at the time. Sparked some third party devices to lock the rear seats in place. Not sure if...

It wouldn’t surprise me if Tesla release new features to current hardware now, but filter down many to older hardware later. Its happened in the past, including several HW3 features that apparently were too complex for HW2.x, but over time we’re implemented. I think similar also happened when...

When we got our model 3 in 2019, with mass collections and regular pickup day ‘training presentation’ groups, pretty much the first thing Tesla said to each group was to turn on pin to drive. I suspect P2D use is very widespread, especially for those who had a basic handover.

A few years when I was involved as a moderator on here, the forum had an upgrade that was going to result in an extended downtime. Moderators had a back channel to keep abreast of progress. In the end, the update took longer than expected, extending well into the period close to the start of...

They also may be carbon neutral but still produce other (at tail pipe) byproducts (eg particulates and NOx) and indeed co2, albeit offset from carbon capture during manufacturing. But still a step forward over regular fuel in limited circumstances (such as specialist or historical vehicles...

Modifications: Lowered ✅ Body kit ✅ Tinted glass ✅ Too many modifications. Computer says no… It’s then down to how well the modifications are communicated to the underwriters and what sort of risk they want and what sort of day they are having and… and… and…

I find displayed 100% range (both usable as per app and absolute as per both available in TeslaFi) fluctuates significantly even over relatively short periods of time. It is however also quite seasonal although how much of this is temperature and how much seasonal tyres I am not sure - after a...

Thread 'UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations' UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations

Time and use charging is already well defined in the transportation industry and has been for many years. It just needs a government willing to make this fundamental change in road use taxation that will most affect those that use the roads the most at the busiest of times but benefit those...

It was far more interesting looking for the blue dog ;)

Also make sure you have nav routings for tolls set appropriately.

I’m noticing fixed speed cameras (incl. variable speed limit cameras but not zones) that I have not noticed before and we are still on 2023.44.30.13 I guess the cameras probably get download as part of the routing, possibly traffic visualisation with premium connectivity?

Section 75 of Consumer Credit Act says that the finance company is equally liable and is an additional protection. So I would go both routes. https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/section-75-of-the-consumer-credit-act-aZCUb9i8Kwfa

Electrical certificates are not retrospective. If they were correct at time of issue then they remain valid. If however you had further work undertaken, then the new certificates would then be based on the new fuse size. Likewise any new diversity calculations would be based on new fuse size...

It sounds like from an earlier post that the diversity calculation has changed to accommodate the lower fuse, ie the previous calculation gives a higher load. Its the diversity calculation result that effectively governs what you can draw not the physical size of the fuse. So if the previous...

Off top of my head, when you have electricity work carried out, part of the electrician’s paperwork has space for earthing and fuse size. May be worth checking paperwork from when you had charge point/EVSE and batteries installed, especially since charge point install is likely to have...

Does Musk really mean lair champion or is it meant to be liar champion?

Think of it like squeezing an eye drop bottle to get a single drop out rather than squirting the whole bottle into the eye.

You just lightly touch the rear door handle, not enough to open the door but enough to wake the car. A few seconds later, you can then open charge port by pressing the bottom of the charge port door.

The good thing about Tesla price increases and decreases (or at least historically was [when long lead times] so needs confirming that it’s still current policy) is that Tesla honour the lower total order price for price increases and apply new pricing for price decreases - unless you change the...

But you don’t have to override everything, just lane changes and turns. I can travel hundreds of miles without needing to perform a lane change or turn so having to confirm by indicating really is no hardship. But we don’t get that ability because some are striving for 100% FSD functionally...

Yet we already have to do that for NoA, even though its sold as onramp to offramp. Personally I have no problem with having to confirm manoeuvres, in the same way as I don't mint confirming NoA lane changes, especially as I, and as has been confirmed by others several times before, would really...

I thought it would probably be a hover car with functionality to be enabled by a future software update ;)
