An RWD M3P would be rather too tail happy for most, but great fun ;) Unfortunately it would probably end up being even more expensive to insure.

Of that we can be sure.

Another issue with the stalks we don't seem to have discussed is if you drive a number of different cars and regularly switch between them. Now I know people adapt quickly to the lesser used controls eg. heater, radio etc but these controls are not needed instantly and are allways in the same...

Only done 50 miles but same here, and I'm pretty sure the speed display font size has shrunk back to what it was a year or so back. No FSD installed on my car.

Oooops, too slow.

Just stop the charge. It does not affect Octopus giving you a scheduled charge.

I can't see that being possible. ??

You need to set the limit in the car to at least 6% more than the limit set in the Octopus app for it to start a charge.

I changed the rears on my M3P- from PS4 with acoustic foam to PS5's no foam. Couldn't tell the difference in noise or handling. They were more available and cheaper too. Try getting a price from ASDA tyres, they were the cheapest and you choose a fitter local to you.

I switched from Go Faster to Intelligent a couple of days ago on my M3P. It went fairly seemlessly in the App except that I have an old dumb Rolec charger (c. 2016) and as I expected there was no option to choose that. I went for a wall socket which it accepted and the switch completed. It did...

Simple cheap fix then, the best kind.

The compressor noise doesn't sound that bad in vid. Even if it's on it's way out it probably wouldn't sound too bad when under low load. What I was suggesting about turning to max heat would force it ramp up the compressor speed to max and the high revs would create substantially more noise. For...

There isn't a pulley or belt, it's driven directly by an electric motor. Try turning the temperature right to maximum with a high fan speed. If it gets much worse it's most likely the compressor. If not it may just be a radiator fan bearing.

Anybody know if the counting number of exits on roundabouts error is fixed yet ? Often when navigating it'll say use the third exit but the map shows the route taking the first. Been like this for ages, guess it's assuming I am driving on the other side of the road.

Well, this has got to be one of the most useful updates so far. As I am getting on a bit the bigger fonts are a massive improvement with no downsides as far as I can see 😉. Got to say why wasn't it like this in the first place but hey ho. The other changes are all good too. Not found any bugs...

Maybe it's got Mercedes syndrome ? 😉

They seem to foul this up from time to time but it's usually fixed in the next update.

Don't bother with acoustic tyres, reduces your choice and hardly makes any real difference in the car. Plus they are harder to repair if the need arises. Plus, the emergency sealant stuff doesn't work. I found ASDA tyres to be the best price. 3 months ago I got a pair of 18" Michelin PS 5's for...

Maybe not immediately, but don't go above 50 mph and don't plan any long trips.

Sorry if I've missed it somewhere on the previous 50+ pages but is there any information about whether a future software update will disable the USS on existing cars that already have it fitted ?

When do think they will get around to doing an overhead camera for for tight spaces ? The MG4 I test drove yesterday has it and it costs half the price of a Tesla.

Happens on my September 2019 P- too.

Actually, that is not a bad idea. We need to spread that rumour about so we can hog the chargers. :)

I guess Honda will try and wriggle out of it and blame Tesla.

Can't find recalibrate in the manual but did the headlight alignment again in the garage again (dead flat) and it did some whirring which it didn't do the first time it a few days ago. I'll try it on the road later. Thanks

First night drive in a few months and the headlights are miles out of line. Pointing too high and too far right. I'm sure I read somewhere that it could be due to a software update, had so many in the last month or two who knows when it first happened. I can adjust them using the service mode...

I think you'll find that Tesla's are the majority of EV's on the road.

Ooooops ! Forgot to use quote.

Not a chance.

Yep, I'm sure it used to do I think the auto zoom/move feature disappeared in the last update or even earlier.

Another thing to bear in mind is the fan speed, if you have high fan speed set then the car has to heat up a significant volume of cold air. It takes a significant amount of energy to head air from say 0 degrees C to 22. Run at the lowest speed you can get away with the keep the car up to temp...

You're right, I thought they had put it up for new customers, but apparently not.

Why aren't you with Octopus Go ? 8.5 7.5p/kWh off peak. Message me for a referral link and share £100. Or does the Powerwall tie you to Shell ?

Hmmm, it would be great if that were the case. I suspect he was talking out of his posterior though. Anybody got any up to date info ?

Never leave it to the last minute, it's an opportunity for the insurance companies to screw you over.

/Conspiracy mode on: Because BMW pay for advertising ? /Conspiracy mode off.

If it's awake and you are somewhere quiet you can hear a fan (or maybe a pump) running if you listen near the right front wheelarch.

I'll try it on my wife's Mii tomorrow if you like. :)

I think you are being a bit hard on Tesla there, in the early days (2019) the auto wipers were totally useless, now they are only fairly useless a lot of the time. I only just installed 40.5 today, is this what caused this latest problem ? Still, we can have the car in fancy colours on screen...

I think you would have to be an outstanding driver to be able to notice a 0.2" (that's just over 2%) decrease in tread width.

Or Italy !!!!

Yeah, I've seen a few where it drives like fairly competent 17 year old learner. I would be too embarrassed to be seen in the drivers seat. And anyway, what is the point when you have to spend all your time watching out for the dumb things it may or may not do ?

They are thinking, must get some batteries.

I can't see why you want to buy it now, why not buy it when they've got it working ? I went for test drive in 2016, and it was supposed to be a year away. The vid's from American freeways and the deserted back streets of LA don't really prove a lot for me.

2019 models have resistance heating. So will not have this problem.

Right ! Jolly good. Right ! Jolly good. At least that bit works. 😌

But does autopark actually work ?

That's a sensible price, some people charge special rip-off prices for Tesla's.

The auto high beam function is useless in all respects. Tried it for the first week I had the car, not used it since.

Use a fine needle at an angle to let the air/water out of the bubble and push down hard using the back of your fingernail, seems to do the trick.
