    48.26 UI Changes - thumbs up or down?

    Agree with the comments above: Too much white space. Harder to swipe to get trip info. Visualisations are pointless unless they put in a blind spot feature. My auto wipers seem to have got worse too. Not sure what’s going on there

    Checklist for travel in France - advice appreciated

    Each one is different. We went to one in Le Mans and both times we went it was full. However, Calais was empty. I would keep an eye on the usage info on the map

    Checklist for travel in France - advice appreciated

    If anyone is planning on using the supercharger in Rouen, it is in a Novotel carpark and is all closed up. However, if you drive up to the gate and press the button, it will open up and you can get to the chargers. I had a slight panic when I got there with only 4% and thought it was locked up...

    Does blind spot detection work?

    I had a near miss the other day when I nearly pulled out into a car that was overtaking me on the inside lane. I had checked my mirror but it must have been in my blind spot. I quickly spotted it as it drew level with me but I had started to move over to that lane. I’m not sure exactly if I...

    2019.40.50.1 installing

    I’ve got a feeling the texting won’t work with iPhones. They stopped blue tooth notifications with cars about a year ago to avoid distractions.

    2019.40.2.1 now available in UK

    I too get the cameral blinded message on single carriageway in the dark. Wipers are greatly improved though. It's a shame that by fixing one problem, they feel compelled to break something else.

    How to get update?

    Get in touch with Tesla Service via the Chat function on the website. They can "push" the update through. Make sure you have a reasonabe signal, ideally wifi when they do it.

    Low sun and Blind spot detection limited

    Anyone else getting the Blindspot detection limited message when driving in bright lowish sun? I seem to be getting it at the moment from 8 ish - 11 ish if on sunny days. It comes and goes, normally coming on when driving into the sun and the goes once in the shade.

    Is that max speed right? Naughty.

    Model 3 range in rain.

    My morning commute is about the same distance and almost exactly the same efficiency - approx 320. Going home is more like 290

    Model 3 range in rain.

    Have you got figures for a dry commute, just for comparison?

    Model 3 range in rain.

    I haven't really seen a massive differance when driving in the rain. Maybe 10-15 Wh/mi. That is doing mostly 60 on A roads

    I've had that happen once. Slightly unsettling.

    Cracked windscreen. Can autoglass do it?

    I am still waiting for my replacement screen (4 weeks on). I have to say, it may be my imagination, but in previous cars, the winscreens definitely seemed tougher. When I have had stones hit them, they would just chip a bit. On the Model 3 it cracked straight away. Let's hope my replacement...

    No Smart Meter. No Smart Tariff. Too much noise??? :o(

    I have got solar panels and Npower pay me the government money plus the money for the power I feed back in the grid. If I change provider will I need to change that as well?

    No Smart Meter. No Smart Tariff. Too much noise??? :o(

    My provider (Npower) told me that I could not have a smartmeter if I wanted to use an off peak tariff (i.e economy 7) because it was incompatable. Apparently they only record total usage not usage at certain times. It sounds like this is not true. I currently have an old economy 7 meter but it...

    How many inches before STOP

    I have already hit my garage wall (just a scuff on the bumper but will need touching up). The problem is that the run up to the garage goes down hill and then up hill quite quickly and I think the sensors see the ground as a potentinal obstruction. It is for this reason that I ignored the cars...

    Whats the one unexpected great thing about your car?

    I find the same thing. And like you, I have paid the price for flashing the other car. I do worry about the effect I am having on other on-coming drivers, because it does look like quite a powerful beam. I will no doubt have to demonstrate the full power of my lights to other drivers when they...

    Yes, good point

    How many inches before STOP

    Whats the one unexpected great thing about your car?

    For me, it is the sense of calm. I find myself very relaxed (apart from when it is beeping at me). Even when stuck in traffic, it is just such a nice place to be. When I see a traffic jam now, I am secretly pleased so I can spend more time in the car.

    How many inches before STOP

    Does anyone know off hand how many inches away from obstruction the car is before you get the STOP noise? I think it is about 10" but in my garage where I am checking it, I need to be looking away from the screen when it happens.

    Cracked windscreen. Can autoglass do it?

    What a nightmare. I did speak to Tesla service to see if they could do it and they said yes and they thought they did have some in stock but would have to double check. They won’t go through your insurance company like auto glass do though which is why I didn’t follow it up. Might be worth doing...

    Cracked windscreen. Can autoglass do it?

    If you can fix it then do that, as soon as possible. Mine is too big to repair so needs replacement. However, 3 weeks on and I am still waiting for it. This is with Autoglass. They have it on order but have no clue when it will arrive.

    Blank rear camera view

    Typical. Just went to send screenshot and it is now working. I have a feeling this is going to be a running theme of my Tesla ownership

    Yes, on V10. Will try sending a screenshot

    Blank rear camera view

    Anyone else having problems with the reversing camera? Mine went black today (white guide lines still there). Tried a soft and hard reboot and also powered down for 5 mins. Still the same. I have looked online and other people have mentioned it but not for a long time.

    Lock failure with Zappi charger

    By the way, how do you get the latest firmware onto it? Does it do it automatically?

    Lock failure with Zappi charger

    Thanks, I think it might be that the cable keeps working it’s way loose. Seems ok if I hold it in

    Lock failure with Zappi charger

    I keep getting a lock failure when putting the charge cable in. I have a zappi and it says “lock failure disconnect and press reset” or words to that effect. It happened 4 times in a row before it finally worked tonight. Anyone else seen this? Is it a problem with the car or the charger?

    I should have posted this earlier, please be wary of Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance

    Yes, happened once to me. Oddly it doesn't do it anymore on the same bit of road. It might have been how the light was shining on it

    Things that could be improved on your 3

    He did sort out the Call centre (1 hour plus waiting time to get through on the delivery number reduced to few minutes), at least for about a week anyway.

    Things that could be improved on your 3

    Auto volume adjust with speed is something I miss and would be easily added I suspect. Also, second the wipers. Can't see much can be done about that now though. I am slowly getting used to it but it will always feel clumbsy.

    How often do you reboot ?

    Twice in 3 weeks. Once for screen freeze and second for GPS error. The reboot didn’t fix this. Had to power off to get it working again. At the moment I am never hugely confident of getting from A to B without incident.

    1.5 month wait time for service

    Typically the GPS seems to be working today. I think I will keep the service app as there will no doubt be a list of other things that need sorting by then

    1.5 month wait time for service

    I will try that. I am only 5 miles away. Is there anyway to find the number or will I have to wait until they call. If they call.

    1.5 month wait time for service

    Yes, I have a feeling this will be one of many glitches to come

    1.5 month wait time for service

    Omg, earliest service app is end of November. Quite shocking. My GPS has stopped working and I get an SOS call error message all the time. Also cruise control not available. Got through on Chat and they said it looked like an antenna problem and should be booked in. It’s going to be annoying...

    Cold weather and Consumption

    I noticed today my consumption was quite a lot more than of late. Normally I average about 300 W/miles but this morning it was more like 350. I wasn't expecting quite such a big jump in energy usage. Anyone else notice this? Makes you wonder what -5 deg c will give.

    Model 3 Locking Unlocking

    Mine seems to lock if I walk about 2 or 3 metres away. I was concerned because my office is only about 4 metres from the car but it seems to be ok. The walls might be helping to block the signal too I suppose.

    Cracked windscreen. Can autoglass do it?

    Had the car for just 4 days and a big old stone has cracked my windscreen. Do Tesla have to replace this or can I get anyone out?
