The regular x-box controllers work fine if you have a console in the house. My boys hooked that up on day one.

This seems to be pretty common. There's a post on the tesla forums about it (spoiler alert - there's no conclusive solution but throwing some reboots around seems to have helped some people) Deleting Songs from Spotify Library using Tesla Account | Tesla

That's exactly what I have been doing but nothing shows up. After some more searching I found a post that suggested you have to click '+' on a song in the album you want. Just went out and tried that and it works. Add any song in the album to your favourites and the album and artist both show...

I think I'm missing something simple here but when I search for albums and favourite them, they never show up in the Albums or Artists tab of Spotify. If I favourite a playlist, that shows up but nothing at all under Albums or Artists. I'm not a Spotify Premium subscriber, just using the...

Surely that's the worst place for it to be? If the phone battery has died, in the car, while you're outside (as per OP) you still can't get to the keycard If you lose your phone, you've also lost your keycard If someone steals your phone, they've also stolen your keycard Having the keycard...

As a P+ driver, I secretly like the tongue in cheek assumption about P drivers I agree it would be interesting to see some data on this (although I'm sure there's probably already somewhere this can be seen like the various "Real MPG sites for ICE). My view, largely from this thread and no...

I may not be the most efficient on this forum but I think I'm probably the neatest, numerically speaking.

I'd expect the problem to be this part: If you don't put the car in Park then it is still effectively ready to drive and so wouldn't consider itself to have stopped so it wouldn't lock. I've never come across a situation where I wouldn't put the car in Park if I had, err, parked. why would you...

Brilliant! That's what I'm after. Thanks @Daverh I'll try and set that up this week, the monitoring a folder and auto combine is exactly what I'm after too.

Same here. All in cost of the PI solution. About £60 including a high performance 128Gb SD card. Took me a few attempts to get it working but now it is, it works perfectly. Each sentry or dashcam save is 4 cameras and 10x1min clip per camera. That's 40x1 min video clips at ~ 30Mb each so every...

The title of this post is so perfect I can't help but think the whole story is fabricated purely for the title!

From experience it's the fact that the milk soaks in to the seat foam where it quickly goes sour and smells foul. This was in a car with perforated leather though, in the Tesla I'd imagine a good soak up and wipe down would protect you from the worst of it? In the perforated leather world we...

That's pretty much why I added it. I'm surprised too. On collection they didn't perform well at all but since the update to 2019.40.1 I haven't had any issue with them on auto and yes, I drive in the dark and drizzle (This is the UK after all). They're not perfect, they can be slow to respond...

I did think about noting that I hadn't tried Sport. I assume that reduces assistance even more which is why I hadn't tried it. Perhaps I need to give it a go. I still love the TT, but it sits in the garage and I haven't once been tempted to get it out. I do occasionally open the garage to look...

It's a matter of perspective. Sure the TTS doesn't handle as well as an Ariel Atom but for the sake of a comparison I was really saying _if_ the TTS was a 10 then comparatively the M3 is an 8. All just my humble opinion and obviously a very crude measure.

The wife thinks it's related to the glass roof. I think it's to do with the disconnect between motion and noise. In an ICE there is an audible cue as to what is about to happen with regards to acceleration and deceleration so as a passenger your body prepares itself for that. There is no cue in...

There are a number of "one month in" reviews on this forum, I've read them all and now it's my turn. I'm trying not to repeat things that have been written before but hope to provide some new thoughts or at least different perspectives on old topics. Background: Comparisons and opinions are...

I also get this, and was about to ask if other do too. No need it seems! I've identified two causes: 1) Low winter sun. Driving 10 miles down the M40 with the sun on my right the right pillar camera was blinded all journey. On the return journey, guess what, the left pillar was blinded 2) The...

I'm so much in the same space as the OP I can't help but wonder if this has been posted by my Fleet Manager! 8-10 emails, web contact forms completed, phone's rung (with no answer!) and still can't get the car moved in to my account. Not even a reply to say no, or "it's hard". Just shouting in...

Not a snowballs chance in hell.

I have a M3P and although my commute is only about 30 miles, I charge off a regular 3-pin at the moment while I wait for my charger installation. I don't charge every night though because it's simply too much hassle. Letting the range drop by about 100 miles before I plug in. That only take 60...

Is it an American football analogy though? An attacking line exists in UK football, and I presume the "Middies" are the Mid-field. A concept that doesn't exist in American Football but does in UK football. And so it turns out it was all a big misunderstanding and we're all friends again :cool...

I did because I'm about to join you and would be interested to know how long it takes. I collect on Friday and the car has been connected to the lease managers Tesla account, not mine. Tesla say they can't change it until after delivery so I have to go and get it (which I wasn't confident I'd be...

I didn’t make the quote just shared it because I thought it might help people :) There are some extras required which have been covered previously. About £150 I think. Most installs are about £450 so it’s no different it just isn’t offset by the OLEV grant when you’re getting the Tesla WC. I...

I am in exactly the same position, same choices. The Anderson can be bought without installation but it works out more expensive as just supply because there's no OLEV grant so in reality it's a complete package inc. install. If the Anderson is too expensive you can scratch the Tesla charger...

Pfft, my invoice is a mystery. It's somewhere between the lease company and our company car adminstrator. I'm trying to get them to understand that I need the car to be allocated to my Tesla account before I can collect the thing! The admin sent a screenshot of an account page (that I can't...

My M3P collection is imminent (whoohoo!). When I ordered (11th September) the configurator still showed silver alloys but it switched to grey about a fortnight later. Has anyone collected a performance recently? What colour alloys did you get? I'm secretly hoping that it will have grey and I...

These rates for people charging overnight on specially low overnight tariffs make you feel great about your EV cost per mile but are you paying an increased rate during the day for all your other electricity consumption? I did pub maths (i.e. based on very sketchy information) on this and...

Question 1) Can anyone explain how important it is to have your Tesla attached to an account you can access? I'm assuming that unless it is you can't use the Tesla app to manage the car right? Maybe I wont even be able to collect the car if it's not on an account I can access? The reason I'm...

No, nothing at all. It's a company car so I'm an extra level removed. We work through a broker, who works with the leasing companies who work with Tesla. I'll get on to them and ask.

Do you even have anything in your Tesla account yet? I ordered through my lease broker in early September but when I log in to Tesla account I just have "<my name>'s tesla" which shows a model S with "order" buttons and under that Model X and Powerwall with the same order buttons. No sign of any...

I know this doesn't help anyone but why can't Tesla, who have taken a bunch of £ for upgraded 19" alloys out of customer pockets, just switch the orders with 19s to the performance 20s? Wouldn't suit everyone but offering a downgrade to the aeros or paying to upgrade to a full-fat performance...

Agree that it's part of the design language. I may just not be ready to love it yet. I don't care enough to replace the whole nose but a low effort cosmetic solution might interest me. I suspect though that any low effort solution would also look low quality. Still, it's given me a new set of...

Hah! I'm so new to this. There's a whole section of the internet devoted to this very topic and many Photoshop warriors have been having at it. Seems the only actual option available right now though is the Ascension.

I saw this picture as I was trawling the internet as we waiters are prone to do and the way the light falls it looks like this model actually has a radiator vent on the nose. It got me thinking - What would the M3 look like with a "faux air-vent" on the front and how could that be made. Would...

Your sherlock-like powers of deduction are bang on the money! I was in the "wrong" queue for a long time and so could tell you an _awful_ lot about the Porsche Taycan. My switch to the M3 queue was relatively recent (<1month) when I discovered how absurdly expensive the Taycan was and how small...

Having self-answered (to an extent) I thought I'd share a thread on behaviour in the Model S. Likely to be the same in the M3 Apply parking brake at speed - effect

I've been mulling this over for a while, for many of us that instinct will involve the right hand stalk which in the M3 is the gear selector. Has anyone been brave enough to find out what happens if you mash this in to reverse, thinking it's the wiper stalk, at 70Mph? I'm assuming there's a...

Oh, I could tell you every single option in the LandRover nav settings, believe me. I can also confirm that no matter how sensibly you set them it all goes out of the window when the car sniffs a farm track. It's some core, undivertable, instinct the car has to go through mud and inaccessible...

Parallel lives. I have an Audi and the wife has a Discovery Sport and we are EXACTLY the same as you. The Audi Nav is alright (particularly the Google traffic integration) but I'm never confident in it's destination information, a number of times a postcode destination has been completely (like...

I went from ooh to bah for three reasons 1) The price 2) Gesture tech is all very smart but does it really add anything? Probably subtracts value over time as others have said 3) Can't see anything that suggests this is waterproof and suitable for mounting outside.

Phew. ;) I wasn't meaning to argue (although looking back it does read like that) I really was asking "can you buy something that can do that?" and then the rest of my post is based on the unwritten assumption that you can't.

That does sound super, but is there a charger that can do that today? If not then you can't actually buy something that smart so "smart" now is not the smart you describe so either way you're going to have to pay for actual smart when it becomes available. You may get lucky and chose something...

I can't comment on the quality but this is #1 on my list. Jeda Products | Tesla Model 3 USB Hub I'm also likely to go down the Raspberry pi route for Sentry and dashcam clip offloading. I think the RPi zero will fit in the neat slot for the USB / SSD.

Given the actual charger is on the car all the wall port really needs to do is front up the right socket and be wired in to your supply. The Tesla app gives you the smarts you need to control when and how much charge your car takes. Smart features and modularity on what is essentially a plug...

Selecting the electric?

Just read this thread too: Iphone App's Anyone tried using Siri shortcuts to trigger the app to unlock the charge port?

Am I right in thinking the only advantage of the fob is that you don't have to touch a door handle before opening the trunk / frunk / charge port or is there something more complex involved in opening these things with the phone/app combo? One specific question - With the phone access, does the...

Having got excited about White on White it's out of budget so I'm now joining the long queue for a M3P in white with black interior. I just hope Tesla UK customer services don't implode before I get to the front of the queue.

Any reason? Is it slow / irritating or just unnecessary?
