I think it looks great. Dumb name, but everything else looks stellar. Was a bit surprised at the limited interior options, or rather the ones they went with. Red/black doesn’t really work with yellow, which leaves the grey interior which I don’t particularly like the look of. A all black...

Have they sold them? Or have they shipped them off to Europe? The parts are all “global” so it’s just a software reconfiguration away from being functional in whichever market.

£695 for premium paint colours, what a revelation :)

Get a stop gap car? 9.6% APR ought to be enough to put most people off. If you buy outright the car is probably going to lose as much if not more in depreciation. I feel like Tesla will offer an incentive on the car within 3 months, maybe as early as the end of May (end of quarter push). No...

Ironically if I had bought this car today, and not knowing anything different, I'd probably feel like there were £10k worth of changes. In retrospect I don't know why I didn't really question how little difference there was (is) between the old LR and P. I was so swept up in ordering it, and...

Regardless of what power the car makes with which battery at what speed, etc.. I feel like the M3HP should have had more, somehow. Whether that was an upgraded front motor as well and/or a combination of something else. As it is it feels pretty mild. You're definitely getting more for your...

LG battery is lighter, so it could be that? Euro sites quote the new car as being 3.1 0-100kmh (which is 62mph) so the suggestion assuming all other things are equal is that it takes the car an additional 0.2 seconds to do an additional 2mph, which seems.. wrong? US car is quoted as being...

Got me curious now, will go and check my car :) EDIT: Yup, I've got the updated door card trims that I don't actually have (I prefer the older ones anyway)

Oh I think I know what you mean.. that it should have the bit of wood extending on to the door card? I guess the question would be - does anyone with the console 2.0 from the factory have the wood showing on the door? It is possible they don't. The door card looks so dark in the image you...

I guess it depends on how vigilant the inspection is I guess. If you can put it back to the way it was without much aggro that would seem to be the path of least resistance.

If you can afford to wait it's obviously better to do so. Come end of quarter pushes there will be some kind of incentive I would imagine, and I would think that the APR would come down in time. If Tesla can weather 1.8% APR on the Model Y then they can do the same on the Model 3 if they were...

As I understand it in order for the car to qualify for the $7500 tax credit it has to be substantially made in America (50%+ ?). As @FastLaneJB and others have said it seems to be that the US-built M3HP has a US sourced 82kW Panasonic battery, whereas the Euro Shanghai-built one has a 79kW LG...

Hi, I can't really see your second image very well.. the resolution is too low. The car UI for the AC control doesn't change, there is only one console UI for all cars for the climate section. This confused me at first as well. Take a look at this YouTube short to see what I mean: ..on...

Peak is 510bhp on US version, so 50bhp difference. That’s huge.

I'm interested in the specs of the Ludicrous M3, but likely will hold off for at least 6 months. Might even wait for an inevitable mini-refresh (the equivalent of the new console, heatpump, dechrome of the 70-plate on cars). I have a strange feeling the M3L is going to be a bit underwhelming...

I would expect rationality or predictability in Tesla pricing. Cuts and increases seem to happen randomly, and could easily here.

They (Tesla as a whole) has recently wiped out 15k staff, maybe even 20k according to some reports. Have seen people on FB groups reporting being told by techs that there’s “not enough people left” to do a given job and having to reschedule, etc.

Nothing for me either. The £2773 showed up pretty fast on my bank statement though, they didn’t hang around when taking that. Since these policies are supposed to be retroactive when (if?) they finally kick in we don’t gain anything. The practical reality is that if something goes wrong now...

This is why it still costs more here. Presumably of the ones that are close they are as expensive or more expensive than the equivalent Tesla? The price in any given market is what the manufacturer feels it is willing to bear. I pay about ~£2 a month for TIDAL via a VPN, when it is £10.99...

Yeah, doesn't seem like a big deal but it really is. Imagine beeping the horn a good minute after an incident.

Last I checked my 2020 M3P had effectively cost me well over £800/month in depreciation, which was more than the PCP/lease quotes I was getting back towards the tail end of 2019. Always figured - and was told - that buying outright was the most cost-effective way to own. It wasn't in this...

I've only changed the config ID 106 - I didn't even know about that other configuration option until afterwards. Not noticed any issues with charging my phone on either pad, or seen any alerts to suggest there is a problem.

I want to say yes. I don’t recall ever seeing that spot when it was fitted, it was replaced because it was coming away from the car (sticky tape failed) and the car was in warranty - not because of that mark. Looking at the “internal” side of it, how would I check which way is up...

Selling a genuine OEM Model 3 Performance carbon fibre spoiler. Removed from my car when it was replaced with another one. Condition wise it is good, but there is a spot (pictured) where the clearcoat has failed - this is common sadly, but this would be invisible when fitted if it were...

I'd happily get rid of the games, leave them on "Install Now" or whatever, as I never play them. At least give us the choice if that is the reason. As @doats1 said though no one outside Tesla knows the reason for this decision, so all we're left to do is speculate. It's academic really either...

The interesting part for me is whether this marks a shifting attitude towards the whole "you don't need to buy a new car, your existing one will keep getting updates" mindset. That attitude is great for consumers, and might win fans in a companies early days, but it is the antithesis of a...

It seems like a problem exclusive to Intel Atom MCU cars, for some reason. The developers want to maintain the distinction between "offline" and "asleep", so aren't keen to refactor TM to treat offline as meaning asleep, or even give the option to (like TeslaFi does I think)

I dunno, have you tried to use Disney+? It takes forever to load and is woeful just trying to navigate around. Netflix and YouTube similarly are laboured.

By happy coincidence that's when the actual Roadster 2.0 is going to be released.

Well we don't know what this "v12" update is going to bring yet, so we don't know to what extent it adds new stuff that Atom cars just won't get. Being pedantic, one of the touted features we already know about is "Large playback controls and quick access to Recents, Favorites, and Up Next in...

I agree with you, to a point. I was in a service centre recently at they had three distinct advertisements with a "Better over time" slogan, promoting the fact that Teslas are improved OTA. Clearly Tesla see it as a key differientiator, and accordingly customers do too. I'd argue that's...

Yeah, I would tend to agree, sadly. I've heard of people waiting an inordinate amount of time for parts for a crash repair, stuff as mundane as a rear bumper, meanwhile you can often actually buy a whole new car in less time. I would assume we would hear about it happening in China first...

I'd be pretty pissed if I'd bought an early 2022 "legacy" Model 3, not going to lie. Whilst this might not mean that pre-Ryzen cars are never going to get UI updates, it does set a precedent.

Not sure, I think the person who tested it was on Ryzen.

HF Park Assist is a different kettle of fish. You can change the config on a car with USS to give it Tesla Vision instead, with the marshmallow parking and presumably the upcoming Autopark, but this disables ultrasonics as you would expect. As I understand it this can even be done with the...

Hi @KyleDay and others What are the general thoughts about MCU2 being upgradeable to MCU3, at least on 3/Ys? Now that we are officially legacy and presumably won't be receiving significant UI updates from this point forwards, the desire for a Ryzen retrofit is going to increase dramatically, I...

Same. I was already likely going to be holding off buying another car until next year (likely the Plaid/Ludicrous M3) primarily to get the "kinks worked out" mid-refresh model (vs what happened when I got my early 2020 car and it was refreshed significantly at the end of that same year), but...

When I was last in the local service centre they had both a 6ft or so pull up banner advertising that software updates make the car "better over time" (that was the slogan). The same poster was seen elsewhere on the wall, and I saw it appear on the TV that was looping as well. It's all well...

Still smarting a bit that my car is now officially legacy, being Atom. I'd feel more aggrieved if I'd bought an early 2022 car, though. This "v12 interface" sounds like a complete overhaul, not just the stuff you see whilst parked. I would like to think that at some point in the future a MCU...

UWB tech allows for accuracy down to centimetres, so in theory assuming they're using an off-the-shelf product there's no reason it wouldn't be able to know exactly where you are in relation to the car. It will know when you're approaching the boot, and when you walk away from it. It ought to...

Intel vs Ryzen is an infotainment thing, not strictly Tesla Vision in terms of how it works. It’s possible the marshmallow view might be more laggy on an Atom though.

Bugger all for pre-2022 Intel owners then. :(

I would be careful about changing configuration settings for purely aesthetic reasons. I did it with the 2.0 console because I was confident that it wouldn't cause issues, mainly because it's fairly self contained (the hubs, etc are part of it). We have no idea what config values Tesla uses to...

If you want a more positive spin, this might end up being good for customers. If Tesla have to try harder to attract and retain customers by having to uplift the spec & QC on the cars, and on the customer service side of things for aftersales, and have to eat into their considerable (compared...

If nothing else because if they switched USS people over to Tesla Vision now, those owners would lose previously functional Summon/Smart Summon immediately, and anyone who isn't already on the 2024.2.11 software with the Tesla Vision Autopark would lose that functionality as well. I doubt...

Is this something that can be changed on Toolbox 3 then? Or does it need elevated access? I'm not so sure Tesla will infuse Tesla Vision with USS, it kinda goes against their guiding principal for removing USS in the first place - they believe that cameras/Tesla Vision can do it just as well if...

Are you sure? You mean you can't change the setting back afterwards? Or that even if changed back ultrasonics don't work? Quite a few changes will require a software redeploy to work, headlights being one of them. Have you tried that?

You’d want to lose ultrasonics? They are accurate.

Wow, that is pretty significant.

Would certainly be interesting to see if setting it to “NONE” would enable Tesla Vision Park Assist and the upcoming Autopark on cars that have ultrasonics fitted (but at that point disabled). Clearly there’s no version of the software that expects to accommodate both systems, so one would...
