    Update 2022.20.x — Tesla Release Notes

    Partially. The software ignored speed limit signs on motorways which can be difficult given the prevalence of cameras. It will be interesting to see if this changes with the new release. Also the speed limit information is also fed by Google data so it looks like it is reading speed limit...

    Premium connectivity bypass with hotspot on phone

    I have the opposite problem. My traffic visualisation mysteriously stopped working back in March. I booked a service visit to see if I could get it back but the techs told me I was getting everything I should - seems like I was fobbed off. What with lock down I kind of forgot about but now I...

    Why No Automatic Speed Adjust When Enter New Speed Limit Zone?

    So does this mean that the car is programmed not to even look for speed limit signs on "divided roads"? Not much good in the UK where there are loads of temporary or variable speed limits on.our motorways.

    Our Model 3, 2 years later

    My oonly big gripe is having to go to the touchscreen for the wipers and than having to push twice to get them going. At night in a sudden downpour it can be truly hazardous. Would love to see them on the steering wheel and operate at the first touch. You know you can activate a single wiper...

    2020.12.11.1

    Got 2020.12.11.2 today. 16 mile return trip to the supermarket suggests bicycle visualisation is better. Not tested the dash am yet, but probably need to format first. Be nice if it auto formatted when you first put it in. M3LRAWD

    Premium Connectivity cost $9.99/month for many Model 3 versions

    I have only had the car for 4 months but lost traffic visualisation about a month ago around the time that I updated the software. With premium interior it is supposed to last a year. Not sure if the software is just unreliable, it is a glitch or what. I have not been invited to subscribe...

    Less regen on 2019.40.2?

    Thats all fine. What is frustrating is that I have been forced into roll setting rather than hold and cannot select hold as it is greyed out. Was never expecting much regen below 5mph, but it would be nice not to have to use the brake to avoid hitting the car in front when approaching a line...

    Help with charging flap please

    Definitely meant to be like that, but agree - a pain. What I find even more of a pain is arriving at a charge point, pop the frunk and chargeport flap from the screen in car and by the time I have retrieved the charging cable the flap has shut again. Give me a minute to get the cable out and...

    Took a test drive of the Hyundai Kona Electric

    Thanks for sharing. Interesting.

    Model 3 100 kWh battery and Ludicrous Mode [speculation about future developments]

    Agree. I did a 300 mile round trip last weekend but with no SC for 30 miles. In theory with a full battery I could have done it without charging, but that would have meant driving at 40-50mph the whole way with no heat in temperatures of 6-7C. I ended up sitting on a charger in a supermarket...

    Less regen on 2019.40.2?

    I have found with my 3 - delivered November 2019, 8000 miles is that following the update the regen setting defaults to roll. A few times I have nearly hit the car in front because regen braking suddenly stops at 5 mph. Might not get much charge in those few mph, but it is a pain having to...

    Poll: Is FSD Worth the Cost?

    Thanks for the post and thread. It is a question I have often asked myself - I have standard autopilot which I use a lot on my 75 mile commute of which 55 miles is on 3 lane motorway. Is it really worth paying an extra 15% for FSD? I find autopilot mostly great, but like others hate that you...

    Comparing Electricity price plans -- there's not as much in it as you think

    This is a really useful thread. I have only just got my 7kW charger so to soon to say, but as I regularly do 200 miles in a day, economy 7 tariff seems to make more sense than a slightly cheaper economy 5 tariff if I charge at 25-30 miles per hour. Was looking at the Scottish power EV tariff...

    Considering the Model 3 and have a few queries.

    Concur. I got a similar price from Tesla as WBAC offered for my 12 yo diesel Ford. Much less hassle though.

    Which home wall charger - for a pain free charge?

    I use a wallbox. It is smart but has been reliable for the month I have had it. I have not used the timer as I set the start time in the car for 0030 when economy 7 kicks in and if required can set the charging limit in the app to stop charging before peak rate. You will add 180/200 miles in...

    Considering the Model 3 and have a few queries.

    The range quoted on a full charge is 306 miles. You can get that if you drive sensibly in town without too much heater or aircon. On the motorway at 70 I would say 250 miles if not too much braking for traffic jams. Going faster eats up the battery mush quicker. Regenerative braking is pretty...

    Tesla Model 3, another charger recommendations

    Well I use a Wallbox which I am happy with. I got it through Scottish Power and it cost me £350 installed. It is 7kW and charges at around 30 miles an hour. As my Model 3 is a company car, I like that it tells me how much power I consume so I can claim it back from the Company. It is pretty...
