    [UK] 2024.8.x

    I set 100% in the app for a journey but the car remained at 80% when I plugged in on arrival, so it was one time effectively.

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    I was comparing 2024.8.4 on the way up M4/M5 to 2024.8.7 on the way back. Both late at night on unlit relatively empty motorways. I've had the indications, but never had the left swerve and they didn't happen on 8.4, although it had some phantom brakes. As it coincided with the keep right and...

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    I also have 2024.8.7 on my 2019 M3P with FSD. Given navigate on autopilot now likes to jerk the wheel to the left while saying "keep right" when passing junctions on unlit sections of the motorway (dipped headlights due to a few on coming vehicles and not matrix), I would definitely say 2024.8.7...

    UK - FSD, Motorways, Regulation

    Just adding my latest motorway experiences with my 2019 M3P with FSD running 2024.8.7. Basically just use distance keeping cruise control and avoid navigate on autopilot. Why? Because it was quite likely on the motorway junctions to decide to jerk the steering wheel to the left even when it was...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Same here with my 2019 M3P after updating to 2024.8.4. It now shows offline rather than asleep and switches to online when the car wakes. So a "feature" of the new update when using TeslaMate ;)

    UK FSD Discussion

    Tesla is actually using a combination of captured clips from the fleet (not just FSD) and simulation, as they can effectively ask all cars in a country to capture video clips of scenarios they are interested in. They also use shadow mode where the neural net can capture clips when it predicts...

    [UK] 2024.2

    Technical rant mode on ;) As an Android developer who has been trying to get UWB ranging working since the Pixel 6 Pro, I can say that Jetpack UWB support is still only at the Alpha stage. At least I have managed to get ranging working to a beacon, but it's <2m range and suffers from...

    As I still have the car and it has never had any software updates, how come the BBC sees Tesla as the problem not BMW ;)

    BBC Article - Tesla Whistleblower

    I do wish they would compare phantom braking to the BMW i3 from 2016 ;) My Mobileye cruise control could be best described as braking when there is anything on the camera... sun; rain; parked cars; shadows... time to brake. You do get used to covering the accelerator though and of course there...

    Android Update - Tesla App

    Welcome to Samsung doing their own thing when it comes to Android (speaking as an Android developer here...). No doubt you will be pleased to hear that my Pixel 8 Pro is working fine running Android 14 ;)

    You need your own website, as you have to upload a public key PEM to it and then register it before you can use the FleetAPI with your app id/key (I used their CURL example).

    Should Tesla fully refund FSD owners in UK

    I said yes as I have it from new on my August 2019 car, which I still have. However I would be happy if it was a transfer to a new car at any point, rather than their September one-off, as it isn't worth it over EAP... I am getting free premium access though, as Tesla had to give it for free as...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I think it's likely that the move by Tesla to the FleetAPI is causing some problems, as the streaming API is a big change over what they currently use (and has a cost implication). I registered as a Tesla developer and moved my Android charging app / Google App engine code over (for me as none...

    [uk specific] Software 2023.32

    Summon has stayed working for me on 32.4, but then I have FSD on a 2019 M3P and I am using an Android phone (Pixel 7 Pro running Android 13). Perhaps I should more accurately say that I paid for FSD, not that I will ever have it in the UK ;)

    [UK] App offline? API seems fine

    At least for me on Android, I don't see the T Tesla icon on the notification tray. This is a bad sign, as it means the background service isn't running, which might explain why I can't use my phone as a key. Update... I just tried opening the App again and the T icon has appeared, so I guess...

    Tesla Price Reductions

    Except they aren't the same... The point of this 3 refresh is to bring changes to the 3 production line in things you can't see, so it is cheaper to produce and make it like the Y. It will switch to front and rear castings and a structural battery pack. At this point they will be the same and...

    [uk] UltraSonic Sensors removal/TV replacement performance

    If only they had a camera in the front bumper so they can see how close a car is ;) Basically they are replying on building up a model of what is in front of you as you drive forwards, which can't possibly work when you are stationary and something changes in front of you when the car is turned...

    [UK] 2022.44

    I managed to get it to go back to sleep. I had to disconnect the charger; turn off the Powerline WiFi extender in the garage; charger back in; Wifi back on. Now it's sleeping again :) Admittedly I also switched from Three 4G to Starlink, so perhaps it only likes sleeping with an Elon data...

    [UK] 2022.44

    25.1 seems to have stopped sleeping like it thinks sentry mode is on, but I have tried switching it on and off as well as doing a two button reset. Poor mobile coverage here, so even with sentry mode on, I can't use the live view, but perhaps the server is trying and failing to start a stream...

    Tyre Blow Out on 7 mth old Model 3 …. Not happy

    I switched the 20" wheels on my M3P for 18" T-Sportline, as low profile tyres and pot holes (especially in Devon lanes) don't go well together. At least so far they have held up better after clipping kerb / rocks at side of road.

    What's your Tesla (origin) story?

    I had an i3 ReX as an introduction to EVs. Liked it so much I decided to replace the 430D and was going to get a Polestar 3 in 2019 (even sitting in one at Google I/O having never been in a Model 3). However the Model 3 was announced in the UK to arrive before the Polestar... plus more gadget...

    Phone key no longer working after update(s)

    It's interesting they say in the issue that it's only when the list of bonded (paired) devices is empty. I have headsets; two cars; two smart watches... So I guess I never get into this state.

    [UK] 2022.28.X

    As I tend to drive on the motorway late at night and have FSD, it has happened all the time in the three years I have had the car. So it's not a .28 issue ;) Robo taxis can't drive at night; in the rain; when the sun is low...

    Phone key no longer working after update(s)

    I was talking about stock Android on Pixels, as the question was about updating to Android 13 and a Pixel 6 Pro. I'm guessing your wife has some Chinese or possibly Samsung phone. Speaking with my Android developer hat on, the Chinese manufacturers are a blot on the landscape, as they insist on...

    Just to be clear. There is no specific setting in Android for Bluetooth battery optimisation. Unlike WiFi scanning, there isn't even a developer setting. Apps have individual settings Keep Adaptive Battery and battery optimisation on - Pixel Phone Help

    Phone key no longer working after update(s)

    I'm not having to disable and re-enable Bluetooth, only start the Tesla app if the T isn't showing after a restart. Perhaps having the Wear watch active helps here. I guess the other thing I do is turn the phone off over night, so perhaps more restarts are good for Bluetooth ;) As far as battery...

    FSD. This should be interesting!

    I'll have to keep the car until it arrives then. Three years and counting... Realistically I only ever expected it to work on motorways, not Devon lanes with sheep and have used summon out of the garage, but it won't go back in, as it's too tight. If I was buying now I'd just go for EAP ;)
  32. M

    FSD. This should be interesting!

    FSD has route navigation, although you have to acknowledge the junctions now and Bristol M4 / M5 junctions are never handled well, so it's just lane changes, as long as it's not too dark when the car thinks that the B pillars are obscured ;)

    Phone key no longer working after update(s)

    I'm not sure if they did this on purpose, as it was around the time of the Bluetooth relay hack was made public, so it is possible they did it so a user has to make a decision to start the app.

    Phone key no longer working after update(s)

    Pixel 6 Pro running Android 13 working fine for me, but I use a Wear watch so Bluetooth is active. One thing to be aware of is that if you haven't got the T icon in the notification area then the key won't be active as the app isn't running in the background. Tesla made an update to the app...

    Wiki Your first UK Tesla MOT? Checklist before the visit.

    Given they can ask me to open it, that seems like I'll use valet mode... I can't see why they need to do that personally, as cars like the Mercedes EQS don't allow owners access. Plus will they follow the Tesla recommended two hands to shut? Dream on 😉

    [UK] 2022.24

    My i3 with just a MobilEye camera adaptive cruise control is the king of phantom braking. Shadows; bridges; sun; rain; lorries...you are guaranteed one every trip! I drive the i3 covering the accelerator. For the M3 I have only seen a couple in three years. Admittedly before Tesla vision as I've...

    Headlight alignment screwed up after software update.

    I also do updates in a flat garage and the lights end up pointing at the sky. Going into the service menu for the lights did an auto calibration, but this was before the software changed everything around... hopefully there's still the same option in the service menu.

    Still in "diagnostics"

    How about turning on chill mode, as traction / stability control should only really kick in when driving hard? OK bad weather, but we turned off stability / traction control on an ice driving course... We survived old cars without all these aids, so careful driving with chill mode on doesn't...

    Phantom braking to be investigated

    I guess it's because Tesla is always in the news, but how come the BMW i3 cruise control was never investigated for phantom braking?

    No Powerwall, but portable 1kW peak Hyundai battery and separate petrol generator kept fridge/freezer, well pump and internet router going for 12 hour power cut. Could do with a 2kW peak generator, as the pump is 900W... Plans for a new garage and Powerwall are still at planning stage ;)

    BMW I4 prices and specs

    I have to differ on how reliable BMW's iDrive is... I had a 430d before my M3P (which has been fine). The 4 series had a complete software failure that not only took out the iDrive, but the dash stopped working, so no speed. I used the BMW call and they said to turn the car off for 30 mins and...

    Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3?

    I've got a 2019 M3P after upgrading to get it before the LR I had on order, as it was in the early batch deliveries in August. It helped that they reduced the price of the full P after fiddling around with P- down to around £50K. However I run with 18" T-Sportline and CrossClimate tyres as I...

    Auto Wipers are awful

    30 hour wait for recovery. Lessons learnt.

    Ah the person reviewing the MSM LR next to my blue one, from memory. Hopefully not a common fault with the DC DC converter, as this sounds more likely than the battery if the 12V jumper didn't work. So far the only problem I have had is the brakes locking on in the garage due to lockdown lack of...

    M3 recalls?

    Of course 1% is an estimate and they will only know after checking 475,000 cars. So the fact they are taking this step means it is significant enough to warrant a recall. Unlike the water ingress which caused complete failures in the RHD wiring harness ;) My M3P is part of the recall.

    M3 recalls?

    I think you are confusing the suspension recall and I think most of this thread is about the latest US recall which affects 475,000 cars. A fair bit more than 1% ;) Tesla to recall 475,000 cars in the US
