Didn't see anyone mention this in my brief scan through of the thread: In the UK, FSD will stop for traffic lights - even if they are green. The driver must press the accelerator or pull down the gear stalk to confirm that it's OK to proceed. It's pretty useless at the moment. On the general...

I received and installed it on Friday night.

"You can't take it with you when you go". After someone said that to me, I felt more comfortable with my decision to buy my car. Might as well spend money on things we enjoy, as long as it's not going to cause financial struggle as a result.

Since installing 2021.32.10, I've lost most Autopilot/FSD functionality aside from summon forward/backward and the visualisation just shows my car and a road layout that doesn't move. Reboot hasn't solved it, nor has powering off the car. I've also left it 24 hours so it has a chance to "sleep".

My car recently (in the past couple of months, possibly since map data update) has started indicating away from exits it is not taking. I'm in the UK, where the left lane is the "slowest" and according to our driving laws/the "Highway Code" you're only supposed to move into the other lanes for...

Upgraded from 2021.4.15.12 to 2021.4.18 recently. I experienced some Autopilot phantom braking whilst overtaking a HGV (heavy goods vehicle) on the previous version (I say phantom braking but it felt more harsh than it actually was - more like the car easing off the accelerator. Doubt it...

I'm impatiently waiting for V11 so I was finding it frustrating that we were getting loads of seemingly benign updates, but it seems that there are possibly some bigger improvements being tested and revised in the background so I'm keeping up-to-date since I figure it'll be feeding back...

My IHD seemed to think off-peak times were 11:30pm to 6:30am (or somewhere roughly around those times) despite my switch to Go. It showed Go rates at the current time and I noticed the cheap rate was being displayed outside of the 12:30-4:30 window. Website shows the correct times so I guess it...

I want an alternative to requiring a steering wheel wiggle when on Autopilot or initiating a lane change with EAP/FSD. I know they're working on being able to track eyes with the internal camera and also detect phone usage so I expect this will probably be used eventually. Auto-park between...

Received e-mail inviting me to switch to Go. Support also responded to me on Twitter - turns out they hadn't got round to looking at my account because of some delay, but everything's fine. So, I should be on Go as of midnight tonight :)

And so the problems begin... Having previously been concerned about smart meters possibly not fitting next to the (fairly big) consumer unit installed for my car chargepoint and also needing one that can supply off-peak loads on a separate consumer unit (i.e. needs an extra terminal for that)...

I lost autopilot (well, autosteer and Navigate on Autopilot - TACC still worked) in my Model 3 after updating to this version a few days ago. It worked after a reboot.

I occasionally have a look at the comments on sponsored EV posts on Facebook or Twitter and yeah there's a lot of negativity posted about EVs. Beyond the practical issues (charging arrangements, range etc.) and the fear (might catch fire, how will we get all this power, what happens if you drive...

Switched from Bulb to Octopus last month (on an Economy 7 meter), having been in touch with Octopus via Twitter to confirm that they would be able to supply me with a smart meter. I have storage heaters, fed from a separate consumer unit and so needed a 5 terminal/port meter, which apparently...

I booked mine in specifically for this to be done as a known issue with water ingress affecting the wiring loom. Think they have a service bulletin on it. Didn't experience any problems beforehand, just wanted it proactively addressed as I had read of the problems it causes and didn't want to...

Given the recent changes to the UI (mainly the car/road display and related info in that area), I got curious about what the much earlier versions of the main UI were like - in a similar way to how it's quite interesting to see how older versions of Windows looked. Is there anywhere that has...

You have to be within a metre or so of the car (however close you need to be for the car to use your phone as a key.) Limited due to regulations. Basically walk alongside the car whilst using summon so you stay in range. Somewhat defeats the point but useful for reversing back up to a wall...

I've been reading up on what's expected in the next big update (V11) which had been suggested was what we were meant to get around Christmas time when in fact the most significant thing people received was the ability (in some areas) to play sounds through the PWS. We had a flurry of updates...

Woo! It's not just me then. Works particularly well for filenames because alphabetical sorting gives things in date order automatically. Makes logical sense when you look at how time is formatted (biggest unit to smallest.) I've joked that because of MM/DD/YYYY perhaps we should start using...

I'm only a few months into this year of my insurance with Churchill and was considering looking elsewhere for next time, partly because they don't like people doing dechrome or similar visual modifications. They happened to be relatively cheap, but that's clearly for a reason. After reading the...

Since this has been bumped, thought I'd add that I've not put the car back into chill mode since taking it out of it. The extra kick is great if you need it to get going quickly from stopped/slow, though I have sometimes given my passenger(s) a bit of a jolt. Could be because I do most of my...

Just installed 2021.4.11. Got excited when I saw there was an update available but disappointed when I saw it's just this one. It feels like they just have one or two developers just patching up the broken bits of this version to tide things along until the next significant release comes out and...

Have a look through the options in the car. I can't remember which section it was under or what the option was even called (and don't have the car with me right now to check) but pretty sure there are 3 settings, two are "creep", and "hold". Might be in the same section that you can adjust the...

Wheelie bin detection! Just kidding :D (though seriously, it does have that) Fast acceleration. I've not been in a performance model but even the LR has a decent kick to it. If you get bored of that (I still haven't) you can buy a software upgrade that makes it go even faster. Pretty quiet -...

Ah, the classic mini-roundabout standoff. It'll be OK during beta I reckon, as the Tesla will likely be overly-cautious and give way to everyone else, or the driver will override it if it's taking too long. The real fun will come when, several years down the line, three robotaxis (with no...

Could that, by any chance, be as a result of them charging the car earlier?!

I've seen condensation in the lights on mine before, but it went away so I wasn't bothered by it. Been noticing it a lot more lately. Waiting to see if it clears up.

That doesn't sound good. What reason did they give for making you sign out of the Tesla app? I'm guessing they probably turned off dashcam and sentry mode too (if you had those on & they didn't disconnect storage.) I know Tesla themselves do this presumably for their own security reasons. The...

It would make more sense to push out feature updates every few months (maybe quarterly), allow people to be early adopters (by a couple of weeks) if they wish to essentially beta test and otherwise only send out bug fixes. Updates always give a feeling of "ooh, what's changed?" but most of the...

If Tesla manage to do everything themselves in the weird way that they are, aside from not needing to be concerned with licensing or patents they have full control of their implementation so can do whatever they like - be that to develop it further or to license it along with the rest of their...

I've only played one of the games for more than a few minutes, and that was when I was waiting for my partner in her work car park and she finished later than expected. Maybe it's in anticipation of when FSD becomes 100% complete, to give the driver something else to do!

I wonder if this might be related to the mention in one of their scripts of profiles being moved to the cloud? https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1364095764406951936 I reckon either someone had a bad day with the code repository and accidentally merged the "save" part of this feature, it's...

I guess, like a lot of things Tesla are still developing, the speed sign recognition is basically just the first public version of that functionality. It's not reliable which is probably one reason why you have to tap the screen to set the AP limit rather than the car just doing it itself. The...

If that's one of the Lane Departure Avoidance features kicking in, apparently they only take effect above 40mph (was reading up on this feature recently as I wondered how it would cope with certain roads near me.) Not picking holes in your quoted speed, just worth being aware of so you don't...

Ah, for some reason I thought I might find them in the accessory shop where they have the Aero caps etc. Thanks.

I couldn't find them on the Tesla website. So i guess I'd need to contact a service centre?

I've had a look around online and can only seem to find places that sell different styles of wheel for the Model 3 in the UK. Anyone know where I can get a standard Aero 18" wheel and tyre in the UK?

Updated earlier today. Just drove to the local 24 hour supermarket and found it easy to get used to the new screen layout. Car rendering is a lot nicer and the display of what the car is seeing is a lot clearer, though it does display it as if the road is some kind of annotated pool of water...

DL were mainly concerned with exterior modifications. I'm now wondering if I'm supposed to tell them every time I swap between aero covers on/off...

The person I spoke to seemed adamant that changing the trim colour in any way from the manufacturer's default chrome was a problem, be it by paint or wrap.

Person: "Do you cover dechrome?" Churchill Dog: "Oooohhhh.... No"

No idea. They wouldn't even just omit wrapping from cover, nor allow the chrome to be painted a different colour.

Prompted by a question I read elsewhere, I've checked with my insurer (Direct Line) regarding chrome delete and they have advised that they would decline insurance if any vinyl wrapping is done to the exterior of the car. As in, they wouldn't increase premiums or anything, they just wouldn't...

When I first went to try using voice commands (after the update that added them), I was driving on an A-road at 60mph and had a "durrr" moment where I thought you had to hold the button on the stalk to give the command rather than the scrollwheel. I remember it giving a warning and trying to...

I brought along a checklist (compiled from various places online) when picking up mine and was there for probably a couple of hours opening and closing things, eyeballing paintwork, gaps, material etc. Definitely worth going prepared. I went with a mixed feeling of "I hope I don't find anything...

Nice. Hopefully this gradually becomes as common as motorway services and gradually quietens the cries of "but where will everyone charge!" in discussions about increased uptake of EVs.

After much consideration of the various alternatives to the default frame-mounted plates, I've stuck the original front plate to the plastic piece that is fixed to the car, and the rear plate directly to the car. Used 3M/Scotch "extreme" mounting tape from B&Q. Definitely no room for error. I...

If this is the big rubber-band like thing which you squidge into place around the top piece of glass... I took mine off a few weeks ago after reading about seals being affected. The rubber band had worked its way pretty far under the back corners of the glass over the course of a few months. Not...

Attended appointment at West Drayton service centre yesterday. Took a couple of hours to carry out the service bulletin work. It could have been quicker but I was significantly late due to being stuck in traffic so they had to wait for someone to be available to do it. On returning home I had a...

A work-in-progress shot of my chrome delete efforts (Nikola Pro satin black kit.) I've been doing a bit each day, where possible (fair bit of wind and rain lately!) I took this picture after doing the trim only. Also got pieces for the mirrors and side cameras/indicators, but not the front/back...
