I got my phone key working, but now the graphic of my car has disappeared from the app...

Could this be related ro Google's Gabeldorsch Bluetooth stack?

<rant>I can't help wondering if Elon has lost interest in his cars, getting side-tracked by his obsession with twitter. OTA updates have slowed to a trickle, and add nothing really useful. The revamped UI is a disaster ("not broken, so let's change it"), and no-one seems to give a hoot. We gave...

One easy improvement would the satnav. It still miscounts roundabout exits (like where an exit/entry pair are separated by a small triangle, the entry is counted as an additional exit). I can't set it to use miles instead of feet (I have no concept of one thousand feet). Google Maps on my...

Is it just me who feels that the car (mine is a M3SR+) is a bit starved of love? Or am I being uncharitable? Since buying the car two years ago, I've had many software updates, the most interesting ones having been the earlier ones, as I recall. The more recent ones have been fairly spartan -...

Haha! Yes, I know Telford folk are really nice. The round trip from Shrewsbury, with charge time include, would be about 1½ hours. That's not too bad, and much better than several hours at a local supermarket, etc., but I was hoping for something like a local hotel with overnight charging. It's...

Thanks for all the replies - that's very useful. I was actually considering Shrewsbury as a stop-off point, like over a weekend. I might be able to find a hotel or something which has EV charge points (to be researched). Thanks again - really appreciated!

Sorry for this really noob question. I'd like to charge my M3SR+ in Shrewsbury, occasionally, and I need to understand the charging coupler types and what will fit my M3. Thusfar I've only ever charged at home or at a Tesla supercharger. I know there's a Tesla supercharger in Telford, but I was...

Lately I'm finding, frequently and seemingly randomly, that sentry mode in my 2019 M3SR+ is disabled. I always re-enable it (via the app - Android), only to find later that it's disabled again. "Later" can be hours or days. My SSD was full a while ago, so I cleared it, and the problem has been...

Ah, sorry - that was inadvertent. Can the tag be remived by Admin?

I see that self steering cars will be allowed in the UK quite soon. BBC news article also had a short video in which warnings were audio. That's one thing that would add enormously to a positive driving experience - spoken messages. As it is now, messages flash up and disappear too soon, in...

If anyone's interested - the speed limit shown by the car on that stretch of road, is now 30mph again. No idea what led to the change of heart.

Thanks for all the replies. I've looked pretty carefully and I couldn't seen any sign that showed a speed limit of 20mph near the point at which the car shows the limit dropping from 30 to 20. Also, I have seen no signs at the end of that stretch, which seems to terminate at a roundabout, to...

Couldn't find a recent thread about this - please point me at any there might be. There's a longish stretch of town road in Stafford (UK) that has recently (past month or so) acquired a speed limit of 20mph, down from the previous 30mph. The road is otherwise suitable for autosteer (but not at...

Maybe it's better now, but when I last tried to use voice controls, I just gave up in disgust. Like "What's the time?" - something even Alexa knows. No answer from M3 - not even "I don't know/understand/care" - just nothing. Maybe it's just my South African accent - wait, isn't Elon ex-SA? I'll...

Stafford, UK

The cable is almost always in full shade, and definitely so when not in use. The error comes up only after a period of being "not in use", so the whole length of the cable should be cool.

Thank you. Re "known good" - how would I know that any outlet is good? We are on a new estate with very new houses - ours is less than a year old. Just thinking that, if the error also occurs when plugged into a neighbour's socket, how would I know that that outlet is not also "bad"?

I plugged the car into the domestic socket adjoining the distribution board (pics in post above) as suggested, and for a while it seemed to have fixed the problem - I didn't do much driving though, with lockdown, and then only short 2-4 mile trips into town.. But a few days ago I did a somewhat...

Thank you. I'll see how it goes with one of the standard 13A sockets, as suggested.

I have an EV charge pod fed from the house's distribution board, both in my garage. The cable goes under the garage door (lots of space) to the car when on charge, and in a receptacle on an outside wall when not in use.

For the past couple of days I've been seeing a message that my "mobile connector or adapter over temperature limit" when I plug in at home after a short trip into town. The weather is warm but not yet hot, and the car does not feel warm, especially not around the charge port. The full length of...

Am I missing something or is the new FSD visualization not available in the UK?

Crashes for me too. Win10, GeForce GTX 980 Ti card, latest VLC. - Nate's site suggests making some graphics settings changes, but that seems to require a different graphics setup (Serato?), which I'm not keen on doing in case it knackers my other graphics needs. The camera recording and...

Great, thanks. I see it's an internal drive - presumably then not USB - what connection cable did you use? Edit: Oops - didn't see that you also gave a link to a SATA>USB enclosure - thank you!

Thank you! That's very useful.

I can't unmount the drive if there is no DashCam icon on the screen. When It last worked (a few days ago), I simply left it plugged in, in the expectation that it would carry on working and delete/overwrite older files as time went on. But it just stopped today, and the DashCam icon was no...

Thank you - where can I find guidance on different methods of formatting it? I'd be really glad if I didn't need to trash an £80 microSD!

Thank you - how did you format it?

DashCam and USB storage work intermittently. Long post follows. Since I got the SR+ in early Sep2019, DashCam has been unreliable - wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences and - especially - any known fix? The car came with v9 software. Seeing DashCam as A Good Thing, I bought a...

Is there such a thing anywhere? I've searched but failed. I have one or two things I'd like to see in a future software update. Cancel - found one - Wish List for Next Update | Tesla

Has anyone USB/BT-tethered their phone to the car? If so, how did you do it? (I know that Tesla are kindly allowing us to use their cell account for the time being.)

Mine is on 2019.15.105...

Sorry about the confusion - the car pod's individual distribution board connection can put out 16A, but of course the plug blows at 13A - which shouldn't happen because the car's cable limits it to 10A.

Anyone found a way of making the time display bigger?

Spot on - thank you!

I've recently had my charge pod moved from the outside of my garage to the same spot inside, for security when I'm away for a few days and the car is at home, on charge (the short adapter piece looks easily nickable and there's nothing "locking" it to the cable or to the charge pod, and having...

It isn't a standard power socket - it's a dedicated EV charge pod, which comes directly off the distribution board.

Contacted Tesla Support via Webchat today re V.10, and was told that my car needed an earlier update, before it could get V.10 and the Support person said they needed to pass the problem to "an advanced team". I can't help wondering - if I hadn't called, would Tesla have noticed that I wasn't...

Thanks for all the comments - cleared things up very nicely. FWIW I'm going to stick with what I've got as it covers my real-world needs. Just thought I might get more out of it but if I can't, it's fine, I'll make do.

Yes, that one - the big end takes an adaptor for a UK 3-pin mains plug, which plugs into the pod, which the electrician said can pump out 16A.

Oh - is there a way of increasing the charge rate then?

Thusfar my home charge has been limited to 10A max. I had an electrician out today to move the charge pod for unrelated reasons and while he was here I asked if the pod limited the charge, and he said it could handle 16A comfortably. So I adjusted the current rate on the car's screen to 15A...

I had a chat with Tesla Support a few days ago, and they said they coud not provide any info on when I might get V.10. They also said (off topic and FWIW) that DashCam is bugged in the current version.

I'm hearing rumours of yet another software update, and have not even had this one yet (I've had the car (SR+, FSD) for 8 weeks).

Has anyone else not had V.10 yet, or am I the only poor sod who's not been deemed worthy?

If cars had been autonomous from the start, and killed a few but saved many more, would humans ever have been allowed to drive (and kill many more)?

I see driverless taxis are operating in London. If not Wi-Fi, how are they controlled? (I'm not contesting your post - just wondering.)

Oh dear, I was rather looking forward to that. Any news on when we are likely to get it? Edit: I see though on Tesla's UK site (Introducing Software Version 10.0) that Smart Summon is part of V.10, or am I misreading it? (That's ...tesla.com/en_GB/...)

Has anyone tested at what distance one can summon one's car, with V.10? And under what traffic conditions? The Tesla blurb says "line of sight" and early videos show it working in a parking lot. How far is "go to location x,y on the map" from "take my kids to school"?
