    Is the Model Y LR fitted with Matrix Headlights?

    Whilst they have the Matrix Headlight hardware, the software to make them 'Active Matrix' where they box out cars like the Mercs do, is not yet released. I believe it is on the roadmap for a future software update. Which will be delivered in Elon time.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Some have only been assigned today, (found my hidden VIN this morning) so there is still hope out there for stuff already at sea. My EDD was late September but now has an early September window, so hoping this will be sticky.

    2022 Shipping Movements

    As we are getting desperate to find ships in this quarter. I wonder if @Mr Miserable had considered these guys with a ship as a potential Tesla carrier. They claim to have a ship that has operated across ferry routes in the past (might be the one in the background), experience of...

    What does late-2022 mean?

    4680 Battery for Model 3 - when?

    Given that Panasonic are only looking at a prototype line for 4680s this year with mass production in 2023, I am not holding out for an imminent upgrade by Tesla. Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    On the 11th January they were craning in some large (6ft high by 6ft wide) grey transformers into a fenced off area. I thought they must be getting close at that point, but still no switch on 3 weeks after that.

    [UK] 2021.44.30

    The headlights pointing too low/high following software updates is a known issue for those that perform the update whilst parked on a slope. Until a fix is found you should continue to do a recalibration of headlights when parked on a flat surface after each software update (until the software...

    [UK] 2021.40.x

    I find that turning Bluetooth Off and On again (on your phone) solves this glitch. I suspect it has something to do with your phone never getting far enough way from the car when in the house (far enough away to lock, but not enough to sever the bluetooth possibility of a connection).

    Schedule battle

    My experience of Scheduling charging in the App. Is that changes in the App are only applied if the car is plugged in at the time. I am sticking with the tried and tested option of setting the Car (using the screen not the App) to begin charging at 0030 (when Octopus GO kicks in for me) and...

    Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]

    Yes.. Taken from the announcement How much does charging cost for Non-Tesla vehicles? Pricing for Non-Tesla drivers reflects additional costs incurred to support charging a broad range of vehicles and adjustments to our sites to accommodate these vehicles. Rates vary by site, and you can view...

    UK Tesla App v4

    My app is confused about the trim on my car.. On the large widget my car is shown with black door handles and trim. In the app I see chrome handles and trim. In the real world my car does have (limited edition/old stlyee) chrome trim. Car is on version 2021.32.21, iOS app is v4.2

    Odd Supercharger Navigation Suggestion

    I have taken the route from Gloucestershire to South Yorkshire twice in the past couple of weeks and got the same suggestions from the car as you for charging. I realised that Mansfield would be a 'better' stop so just changed the destination myself. On the way back the car insisted (even...

    Aftermarket wireless charge pad? - Model 3 pre facelift

    I am using the Nomad charger on mine along with the Jeda hub. All works fine for me with an iPhone 12. I have had someone charge an iPhone 12 Max and it also fitted (Just!). Been using it for 18 months without issue.

    Starlink UK

    Well here goes, Received my Starlink a couple of weeks ago and now I am going to try and see if it does what it says on the Beta tin. Set up looks easy (attach dish to stand and plug in power cable).

    Reminder to new owners - Always carry your Key card!

    I agree, however if you do get a request to show your keycard, and your phone is not playing along nicely with the Tesla. I find that switching Bluetooth On and Off Again on your phone clears most problems. I could probably get a job in IT with advice like that!

    [UK] 2021.4.x

    Good point, it could well be wither the phone or the car. However I have now had the same issue on 2 different iPhone models covering 3 iOS versions. Now patched to latest iOS (14.4.1). Issue still occurs. The most annoying thing is the randomness of it!

    [UK] 2021.4.x

    I am having the same issues (hIghlighted in blue ) with the car not unlocking. It has been present prior to 2021.4.12.1. I have it booked into the SC next week for them to look at. They recommend keeping a note of the exact times that it happens as they can then examine the logs. If you're...

    Starlink UK

    I've now placed my order but as usual I did not fully read the terms and condition in advance. To my horror I now discover that the agreement is only partly covered under English law. In Section 10. ...will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and subject to the...

    Help, car won't 'start'...

    I believe the old solution of using a crank handle is still the best. WARNING: Results may vary on Teslas and could damage the frunk!

    Insurance New Vehicle [2021 Megathread]

    Direct Line £485 with 3 years no claims. Based on 18k miles per year. Was much cheaper than my renewal offer of £800 with Aviva. The quote may have been discounted as I also insured another car and the house with them all on the same day.

    Car kicks up dust and dirt on rear: Any solutions?

    Try to only drive on clean roads. NOTE: This may result in reduced annual mileage and a lower insurance premium as well!

    Insurance Cost

    HI, Welcome to the forum, sorry if some of the responses were less than helpful. I think the thread you may be looking for is a UK & Ireland based one Insurance Renewal In the UK you will find there are specialist EV insurers, that can sometimes beat the comparison sites.

    Ambient Lighting suggestions

    You can switch the footwell lights off. It is the Ambient light setting on the Controls -> Lights section. My main concern is if the brightness of the lights shows just how long it is since I hoovered the mats!

    Ambient Lighting suggestions

    I got them from Amazon- Search for "Model 3 Ultra-Bright LED Puddle Door Lights Car Logo" . It should be less than £20 a pair and I rate them as my best upgrade to the car.
  30. Dadawinsk

    Ambient Lighting suggestions

    I did change to Blue (BoyRacer me!) in the footwells, but I am not happy with the shade of blue. I changed all the others to bright white and put the Tesla logo ones in as puddle lights. I would go for white lights.in footwells if i can be bothered to do again. Was a simple 2 minute change.

    Teslas and road gritting

    My recommendation would be to not use you Tesla for road gritting. Leave it to your local council, they have purposely designed vehicles out there for gritting the streets. ;)

    Polar/BPChargemaster another price rise

    I guess the big Fuel companies need to do something before their market disappears Most (I accept not all) people will charge their EV at home most of the time. This greatly reduces the number of 'fuel stations' needed in the future. With a much smaller market for them to address, I can see...

    Octopus Smart Meter Experiences

    I have to say, I also had a good experience of recently switching from Ovo to Octopus. Last week I was moved onto Octopus standard tariff and I then called them up (was actually able to speak to a human!) to say that I would like to to change to the Octopus Go tariff. They said that my...

    Autopilot and lane keeping

    I do believe this is functioning as designed. My understanding is that you need FSD for it to do the lane changes with the indicators. The listening to the chimes can get a bit frustrating, but not enough for me to pay for the FSD upgrade!!!

    Dilemma: Petrol Station Etiquette

    After 9 months of Tesla ownership and no need to visit the pumps, the sun has shone, the grass is growing and I have reached the stage of needing to fill up the petrol can to fuel my lawnmower. I have considered the following options and would appreciate the Tesla community giving me some...

    Mobile charger UK adaptors

    From my experience the Model 3 comes with a 3 pin granny charging plug and a CCS charging cable. Commando would need to be purchased separately.

    Worth challenging LV insurance increase?

    There was study done by that MoneySavingExpert man last year that said 21 days before you need it is the time you will get cheapest car insurance. Works well for renewals but I am yet to meet anyone who had 21 days notice of a Tesla delivery!

    Iphone Issues

    Just upgraded to 2020.20.17 and retested on an iphone XR and Samsung S9. Issue appears to be resolved. In related news the "Netflix has no sound whilst charging, sound returns if you stop charging" issue also appears to be resolved. Most successful update I have had yet. Fingers crossed...

    Iphone Issues

    I have the same issue. Have replicated the issue using an iPhone XR (on latest iOS), Samsung S9 and an iPhone 11. I think that should rule out the phone being the issue.. Phone is answered on the screen (you can see on the phone that the call has been answered), there is silence and you spend...

    Taptes deliveries

    I placed my order on the 1st May. Looking at tracking info it seems like it is in the same batch as the above posts. It has now left MALA and as far as i can work out is now somewhere in Germany. This Taptes hub is having a nice European tour!

    I have Podpoint. Simple application process, easy to deal with (on a complex cable routing). Their contractor installed it on New Years Eve with zero issues. I would recommend them.

    PodPoint

    I ordered one about a week before Christmas and it was installed New Years Eve. So less than 2 weeks order to install with Christmas in between. I think it is a post code lottery as they are using subcontractors to do it. Mine was a tricky install with the meter under the stairs not on an...

    Is Anyone Else Having Voice Command Issues on the Model 3?

    I have exactly the same issues. It started going wrong in 2019.40.50.1, now at 2019.40.50.7 voice is almost unusable. I have tried speaking slowly and clearly, sometimes this works and it 'hears me' but even then if it does correctly put the text on the screen it still then responds with...
