Anyone find the roughly 3 secs that the quick menus stay on screen way too short?

I think 44.25 brought a change to gear selection, not seen it mentioned anywhere else? There used to be a timer that would insist you put you foot on the brake to select R/D if you didn't swap from one to the other fairly promptly when manoeuvring. This seems to have gone now, it will insist on...

This is the sad state of affairs! You will grow used to the quirks and find a way to put up with it. Just as you achieve that they'll push another 'improvement' :p

Also now realized that every time I manually switch main beam (because auto lights are awful) the lights quick menu pops up for extra distraction. This really smacks of a rushed and poorly/hardly tested update. I honestly question whether the designers of this mess actually drive. Surely if...

Except you still have indicator stalk on left so right hand can be moved to allow you to see it clearly. We cannot do this as your hand must be in the way to use the indicator. Unbelievably poor implementation.

Quoting myself, found this relating to latest Model S, even more irritated! Maybe it will come with the .25 release? See photos of exactly what I'm banging on about!: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6244452/

All I can see is more than a third of the screen showing a totally pointless render of a car and some lane markings. I really don't get their logic.

Wonder if Sonic is hiding ready for a Christmas Day reveal? Like others I couldn't give a damn about this, but making wipers work correctly (not possible) or making them readily/safely adjustable (press wiper button, left scroll wheel to cycle the speed settings only while wiper settings are on...

If you have them it's pretty obvious. When turned on you'll see a very obvious lighter area around the edge of the mirrors when driving at night, I've only noticed it on the door mirrors. It doesn't seem very auto to me, they seem to be always dimmed at night if the feature is turned on. They...

Same as me, I've seen no issues. Don't know if that makes thing better or worse!

Which version are you on?

Can I suggest you may be overthinking it? Put enough charge in to meet your journey needs and you'll be fine. An occasional 100% isn't a bad thing and will aid the car in estimating your remaining range but it doesn't actually make any appreciable difference to the battery performance - it's...

I rotate mine every time I drive it. :rolleyes:

I think they just cut out a section of the foam and repair as per normal tyre. Trouble is they'll probably prefer to sell you a new one so it's a useful way to suggest that has to be done.

I had a 330e and it was a good car, but not exceptional. The M3 I now have is so much better despite the Tesla ownership oddities that you quickly get used to. I was a passenger in the rear of a diesel 3 series yesterday, noisy, slow, very cramped and a useful reminder of how much better the...

Interesting, mine are set to off (cos they are poor) but will switch and see.

I've seen the same, definitely a change in how it works, for the worse sadly.

I was trying to find a way to describe it since as you know there aren't vents per se, just a long wide slot. Pressing the cover over the slot stops the rattle. This bit outlined in red:

On certain road surfaces mine rattles noticeably and does seem worse if someone is in the passenger side. It is the plastic trim above the air vent slots, pressing down on it will stop the noise. It's less obvious when I'm on my own in the car (90%+) probably because my commute is on better...

I vaguely remember seeing videos of the radar bouncing underneath the car in front and detecting a car stopping in front of that, essentially beating the visual system. Seems odd but this is the the brave new world of being Tesla beta testers!

I had the back end do something similar in the opposite scenario, too much go pedal joining a motorway from a slip road in the wet. I wasn't breaking any speed limits but was accelerating hard and the rear started fishtailing, this came on very quickly and was quite alarming. It had the feeling...

2021.4.18 is a downgrade for me. Autopilot (not FSD) is now unavailable for most of my daily commute, previously it was there for the whole journey (although you'd be mad to try and use it). Today on a quiet dual carriageway, it aborted for no apparent reason while passing a few cars at 70...

Isn't this the problem with car ownership regardless of how it's powered? If you do keep it for 10 years, then £6k/year doesn't seem too crazy a cost to have incurred for that duration of service? I fear that well before your 6 years to get to zero running costs the government will have found a...

Thanks for kind words. Don't be anxious, best car you'll ever own.:)

Agree totally, if i wrote something that makes it sound different then it was unintentional. Try explaining lithium iron and lithium ion to non-battery people...

Not in my experience, none of the lithium chemistries have memory effect. I think Tesla are saying that 100% does little to impact battery life so it promotes having full range available each day making the SR+ a more attractive proposition.

Definitely, if you only trickle charge at home from 20% to 80% somewhere down the line the 3rd or 4th owner is going to love you for it! That is the challenge of course, if you're only leasing for a few years many people may choose to just charge to 100% and not worry about the consequences...

I've not read these, can you point me at them? I'd expect the decrease in performance to be pretty similar for the two examples you mention. If you made the second option 70%-100% twice, I would expect that would be more detrimental.

A303 was horrendous today, full of caravans and campers - think you picked the busiest day of the year so far!

I work in the battery world but other opinions will exist! I'll dump thoughts in simple terms to try and make it readily understandable. Hope it helps. LFP, lithium ferro-phosphate is a different cell chemistry, common in China and often used with high power low range applications...

I wondered whether this affects people that are parked on an incline when software updates are installed? Mine have never moved over at least 20 updates but parked on a level drive.

Funnily enough i discovered the same yesterday after trying it out again. Recognition does seems a tad better.

Adjusting glass pressure on the seal is fairly easy. May be worth a try?

Don't be, I do this every single day, no issue.

TACC 1 second trick still working in mine on same 2021.4.11. Yesterday on TACC 50mph single carriageway car slowed to 30mph having misread a 50 sign.

I call clickbait ;): Well, what's it gonna be?o_O

I'm interested to know how all-season type tyres would have fared in these conditions. I'm toying with them as my car is getting close to needing new boots (20K miles) but wonder if they are too much of a compromise as we move into Spring/Summer. I don't have the luxury of storing two sets of...

Think you mean dendrite growth, maybe you're mixing gardening with batteries? There is an argument for not trying to balance packs and just accept the loss of capacity in each cycle versus wasting energy trying to get all the cells to precisely the same voltage. This is particularly relevant for...

Excruciating to watch, another interviewer who likes the sound of his own voice far too much to waste interview time actually listening! Robert Llewellyn suffers from the same thing, both charming chaps but need to learn to STFU!

Did you notice this has been added with the new UI but only if the map is not showing?

Can you elaborate what this means, just curious?

Wish list: TACC follow distance feels way too close to me, always on setting 7 and still feels too close esp. at higher speeds. Possibly a limit of the radar? Adjust wiper speed with left scroll wheel after pressing wiper button stalk for as long as controls are on screen Keep music controls at...

M3LR - 19469 - 15mnths - 286Wh/mile - picked up Sep 2019.

I feel really bad for you. Over the years I've come to accept that you won't be able to understand the thought process that is going on in this individuals head, it will be so alien to you. They are likely the same type that dump their McDonalds rubbish out the windows as they drive along and...

I think it's time for a sticky thread with simple one line posts of what you said vs what the car interpreted, some of them are bonkers funny. Just need to remember them...

I've thought given a single press not only makes the wipers move once but brings up the speed settings on the screen, why not make the left scroll wheel cycle through each wiper speed setting while displayed? So in a tricky situation a stalk button press and then scroll the wheel to the speed...

The T has been removed, it's in the release notes.

Farnell part numbers: 2 x 3226658 (Crimp) 1 x 2575768 (Housing) Definitely correct items, I'm using them now! It's great to have a few others along for the ride trying to get this to work. I see quite a bit of interest on Twitter and US forums about retrofitting, a few US owners even booking...

But how can I tell if my door is open? ;)

PWS works after reset on 48.26 but after car sleeps it stops again:( Boombox doesn't work even after reset when PWS is working. Think car VIN needs adding to Tesla central DB somewhere to recognize it as having the speaker. Service centers may offer this in future but only with an authentic...
