    Nightmare! (Supercharger queues)

    Well now, that is a sad, cynical view of the world and of a soulless corporate machine out to crush us hapless victims of faceless bureaucracy! As a postscript to my previous post, this morning I received the prompt reply from the car parking company in response to my polite appeal against the...

    Nightmare! (Supercharger queues)

    'Adding insult to delay' - latest update to my Christmas supercharger experience. I should say that in 3 years of Tesla ownership my overall experience of using the Supercharger network for road trips in the UK has been excellent. I never had any delays or problems getting access to a charger...

    [UK] 2022.44

    My car is currently in the garage going through its first MOT - will test the functionality with the Tesla Apple Music App when I get it back. Assuming of course it passes its MOT...

    [UK] 2022.44

    Installed the update this morning and really pleased to now have direct access to my Apple Music account and library from the car. I appreciate this doesn't add much for people who are not using the Apple ecosystem, but those of us who do, this is a huge improvement over either accessing music...

    Tesla Self Parking

    I have had my M3 with FSD for almost 3 years now and after a few underwhelming initial experiences with trying out autopark I basically ignored it and never used it. Until - by chance I decided to try it again recently after installing software update 2022.28.1 and to my surprise it worked...

    Elon Musk documentary/factual tonight

    In my opinion, like any sweeping generalisation, this particular comment is neither justified nor accurate. Do you have factual information proving that all successful businessmen break promises to ensure they maximise profits? You are welcome to think this way if you want to, but really it is...

    Based upon the rate of improvement in automation for UK cars they may as well release the next software update with a new set of farting noises whenever you double tap the stalk to engage FSD...

    [UK] 2021.44.30

    I just installed 2021.44.30.8 (M3LR +FSD). Nothing new to see in the release notes so I presume it was new bug fixes. Installed just after I got home today so will check it tomorrow and see if I notice any changes when driving.

    Emperor's new clothes

    With respect, I sharply disagree with your assertion here. If automated driver assist technology (whether from Tesla or any other rival technology) is shown to clearly reduce the chance of accidents I predict that there will quickly be a huge insurance premium advantage on offer to drivers using...

    MiC LR Fog Lights

    I completely agree with you - having voice commands to turn off and on the various lights, including main beam and fog lights, would be the most useful feature Tesla could add in a future software update, in my opinion. Even without fog, I find there are driving conditions where it is so cloudy...

    Best Selling Car Sept21, future models and the competition

    I am always surprised that people seem more interested in choosing a car by whether you can get ventilated seats and other gadgets and 'features' (anyone for real dead animal skins on the seats !?) where I would rather prioritise more fundamental issues, such as overall safety rating, something...

    Oh my goodness! The range anxiety...!

    Well, I have not been flying anywhere since March 2020 thanks to Covid and working online and I have installed solar panels so I am feeling pretty smug these days about my new green credentials, thank you for asking... Full confession now, after topping up my Tesla with 'recycled sunshine' there...

    Auto-Pilot - I give up, it's downright lethal

    The legal situation here I think is clear, it is absolutely the responsibility of all drivers to maintain a safe distance from the car in front and modulate their speed accordingly - they cannot know whether an obstacle they can't see appears that forces the car in front to brake suddenly and...

    Wiki [UK] V11 UI Changes and Features

    I will look forward to trying out Smart Shift - no idea in advance whether I will find it useful or not but I will be happy to try it out. So long as this is a feature you can simply toggle on or off, according to your personal preference, then what's not to like? From watching the videos of the...

    Auto-Pilot - I give up, it's downright lethal

    I am also on 2021.4.18.2 (I don't seem to be getting software updates any more, has been a long gap since last one) and as I commented to this group several times I have had exactly the same experience you just described. Last time was driving along on the A1 when approaching a car waiting to...

    FSD V9 Rolling [to limited number of US beta testers]

    Now this is rolling I am eagerly looking forward to seeing a lot of new YouTube videos being posted over the weekend as the beta testers evaluate how well the FSD V9 performs in different locations and traffic situations. I am sure there will still be issues to be fixed but hopefully we will see...

    [UK] 2021.4.x

    I am still on 4.18.2 and just got back from our first major road trip with our M3LR post lock-down. Overall performance was excellent - supercharger network makes long journeys a breeze and each hotel we stayed in had free chargers available. On this software version autowipers worked extremely...

    [UK] 2021.4.x

    I experienced exact same behaviour last month prior to the 18.2 update, so disappointing this not fixed yet. Maybe we need to wait for the vision only system take over if this stems from vision/radar conflicts!? I recommend watching the YouTube videos featuring interviews with James Douma by...

    Tesla Navigation - which lane?

    Hmm, I had a rather similar experience yesterday on the latest leg of our roadtrip - screen indicated route was via the third exit from a roundabout, voice announced, 'take the 1st exit'. Confusing to say the least. Screen direction was correct. Why is the voice instruction wrong when the...

    Just driving for the sake of driving....

    'Guilty as charged' (pun intended) - even after 18 months owning my LR AWD M3 I still often find myself deliberately taking the long way round on routes for shopping trips just to enjoy the fun of driving it, especially finding roads where you can just remind yourself how the acceleration works...

    [UK] 2021.4.x

    I think I owe Elon & Tesla an apology. Waiting for them to finally push the long delayed and much hyped significant update to FSD I had clearly in my frustration started thinking it would just always be, 'about 2 weeks away', while never actually arriving. Seems I was wrong - apparently latest...

    [UK] 2021.4.x

    Had my first proper drives this weekend since Installing 4.15.12 On Saturday a ~160 mile round trip and everything seemed to be working fine. Today however I discovered that phantom braking is sadly still alive and well. After the good experience yesterday had lulled me into a false sense of...

    Elon and influence on crypto currency markets

    There you go again with more of your radical technology ideas. What we need for exchanging messages is not these tiny coin operated booths you have designed to replace mobile phones, but the bio-messenger alternative, some call a 'pigeon'. Energy input is 100% renewable biofuel. Multiple use and...

    I'm also sitting on 2021.4.12.2 with FSD and am still waiting for the 'hot, on fire' new features in the holiday software update promised for last Christmas! Will be happy to sign up as a beta tester though if your theory is correct and they roll out a FSD beta for UK drivers

    Autopilot — left bias

    When I first started using autopilot I always felt that the car was lurching over towards the left as soon as I engaged and that it was getting way too close to the kerb/left side. I then came to the conclusion that autopilot was actually just centring the car in the lane and that I had an...

    In a parallel universe where there we only had EV’s, what would an ICE review look like?

    Well then, I like your thinking after all. So in the parallel universe where ICE cars are brought in to replace BEVs, perhaps ICE cars run on biofuels will be touted by the Green Lobby as the real eco friendly alternative to electricity? Close down the cobalt mines; huge plantations of biofuel...

    In a parallel universe where there we only had EV’s, what would an ICE review look like?

    Wait a minute - if the premise here is a review of the introduction of ICE cars as a new technology, why do you assume 'there's no need to forward plan any trip - quick, easy energy top-ups everywhere'? Presumably in this scenario a national petrol/diesel station infrastructure would be lacking...

    Auto Wipers are awful

    My experience with the auto wipers on my M3 is very similar to what you describe - mostly it works fine, sometimes if it does not start up fast enough I just push the stalk to start it wiping and then it continues ok. Certainly seems to work as well as the auto wiping function in any of the...

    Germany to Allow Lv4 autonomy

    I don't think the levels of autonomy numbering framework is very well considered, nor the L5 definition even sensible - at least not if interpreted literally. Few, if any, humans can drive absolutely safely in 'any and all situations or road or weather conditions'. I know I can't. Last two days...

    Issue with climate turning itself on during night

    I had this problem of the climate turning on after I had parked the car in the garage and indeed, I think it was potentially related to the Apple Watch App I had started using. Both the Watch App and Tesla have had multiple updates since I last had the problem some months ago, but maybe I am...

    Fellow car cleaning obsessives...

    Thanks for the explanation, but I will not be bothering with the Autoglym windscreen cleaner as well as the other Polar Range products I already use. I am just not that obsessive about cleaning my car. Nope, not for me. I have enough cleaning products already and that would just be a step too...

    Features we didn't know we wanted?

    I read that Elon has promised a major new software update coming soon, with many features 'we said we wanted' and other features that 'we didn't know that we wanted'. So that got me thinking about what surprise features that may include that I never realised I wanted. I would be happy enough...

    My wash is near identical routine to what you described, except I have never bothered with the Autoglym windscreen cleaner at the end - do you recommend it? I do usually also use tyre dressing at the end however.

    Ambient lighting

    Would you mind describing how you did the DIY install for the front door pocket lights? I was disappointed when my 2020 M3 was delivered last December and these had been deleted from the premium interior spec, as far as I remember after I had ordered the car back in the summer. I have swapped...

    M3P Accelerator Delay

    [UK] 2020.40.x

    Same issue for me - half the time I activate voice commands (which I use a lot) it appears not to detect my voice. I try again a moment later and it works fine. Very hit and miss at present. Fortunately, so far at least, I have not had the problems others mention with camera failures or...
