Cleaning the car today and found a 2 inch crack in the rear windscreen. Car was valeted a couple weeks ago and nothing mentioned. Auto defog has come on a few time briefly recently and that turns on rear demister. Car is always garaged and glass is unmarked otherwise. What's the chances of...

If you are in the USA (guessing you are by the date format and the Volt, Called the Ampera in EU) they have been disabled for now apparently. This is aa UK section so we would not have the issue

My car has been in the shop for over a week with this issue. Three new humidity sensors were tried, each reading 100% humid. Eventually gota message today that they have never seen this issue before and it looks to be something in the firmware. My car is being returned to me while Engineering...

can't add to my previous message but more information has come to light. They did indeed not know what the problem was despite screenshots until I got there at 4 o'clock and showed them the screen and the cars behaviour. The car has now had three humidity sensors fitted and all the car says all...

Gone to collect car and no change. Message still there will not turn off. Second time now, Service centre don't seem to know what the problem is let alone fix it.

I did but they just said they'd try to get the car back to me in time.

Hi All, wonder if you could help? Since mid-December I have the Auto defrost message appear that won't go away, car has been in once and had the humidity sensor replaced. no change. Car is due in again tomorrow and they tell me it might need to be with them overnight and they'll provide Uber...

Gotta argue this one really, not in defence of Tesla but in criticism of every other maker. Most of those cheap "attached with bits of string" shelves end up blocking the interior light, don't fold and have no-where to go if you need to remove them for a load. Mercedes A class gen one had roll...

Installing or just background downloading?

The UMC has been my main method of charging since 2019 as I have a 32a commando set up. In fact, it was so critical I bought another (off eBay) to carry in the car as the other one is attached to the wall in case of theft. Our holiday cottage this year assured us there was an EV charger, which...

Reply to service request today "core command is aware of the problem" a firmware bug affects a number of cars, await new download. Always supported Tesla but a software update that disables safety-critical parts is just unacceptable.

Driving through London tonight and the auto high-beam started what can only be described as "strobing". Switched it off but 10 mins later had autosteer not available, cruise control not available and emergency braking systems not available. This persisted through power down but a two-button...

I also would be interested in the original droplocks. Although as I routinely carry rather large reptiles, I only wish I am there to see the look on the face of the ne'er-do-well who realises he now has hold of the wrong end of an angry 16ft python

I was at an event yesterday (Shoreham Heavy Horse for those interested) and noticed as I drove up to the marshals that there were signs directing EV's to specific parking area (note, not hybrids, just EV). The Marshal informed me that after dropping my trade stand I would have to remove my car...

Electric Avenue

It doesn't - they have ccs on one side and type 2 on the other so no better for rapid/supercharging than any other - in fact it's a stupid position for anything other than side-on charging.

Other manufacturers who do not include any cable seem to sell cars just fine.

So have it display for 5 mins or so after you "switch off"

We need to be looking at the bigger picture here. Once people become used to them they will make them hard limiters with no facility to turn them off.

Got family in South Wales so could be interested in that, but work alot of weekends so not really able to commit A hard maybe?

you're not going to be able to get it to stay at "off" all these safety systems have to be on by law each time you start the car. Late should be ok though.

Smart summon doesn't really work in the EU - standard summon doesn't really care where you are. My Tesla ticket was closed as they say it's a problem within the app they are aware of and are fixing

you'd need to look at Android/ios/car software/phone app version to get some kind of correlation.

Service request closed due to known issue being worked on - sit and wait for app update

Just about to raise a service request for this or is it better to wait if they're aware of it? I must have this working or a large part of the EAP is wasted for me

iPace - interface just to slow for day to day use

I'll just leave this here.....

Although you do have to specify to your insurance if you take passengers on a motorcycle, I know of no such requirements for motor insurance. don't ask for money for it and I don't think you've done anything wrong, unless you know different?

What makes you think such a thing in the first place? with the underfloor battery it is almost impossible to roll.

I think people miss the point about opening up superchargers, surely we can assume that the EU was going to force them to do so - after all that is the main thing holding back German car manufacturers compared to Tesla, they're hard to charge. This way Tesla opens them up but still keeps control...

still not plugged in though

After covering 100 miles on the C-Evolution Electric Motorcycle today (Stick that Guy Martin) My other half just informed me she'd been madly waving at every Tesla she saw, resulting in some confused waving back. So if you were waved at by a mad woman on the back of a bike today, that'll be her...

If you were the blue model s, who waved in Godstone today, I was the white model 3 you waved at. Sorry for waving back too late but it was the end of a long trip and I was too stunned that someone waved at me first!

Turned mine off on holiday last year after over 200 - turns out Pandanoia is scared of the dark

I'd suggest asking in the USA section - Uk is not going to be much help for a car we don't even have

used JustPark in that area a couple weeks ago to park on someone's drive - even got access to a charger. Better than running the roulette that parking there seems to be.

Thanks. That white one in the photo is mine. Anyone else?

Agree completely, liked the monorail preview of the museum!

Did anyone go to this on the 23rd May and have photo's? I would like to see if anyone has photo's of my car please. PM or post if you think you might be able to help

As these guys already go equipped with vans battery or petrol powered cutting tools, lifting gear and weapons to threaten anyone that disturbs them I'm not sure a bit of weight is going to put them off. I'll leave this as it obviously isn't a problem over there, but it wouldn't end well for...

Don't know about you, but over here, theft of catalytic converters is epidemic levels. Partly cos its easy quick money with little to no risk. Personally I do NOT want my expensive battery pack to be easy to remove, I'm quite happy if it takes hours so long as I can charge at a decent rate. I...

I've used these for the back seat - easy to put on, have stayed put and still gives you the seat pocket https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07YHKKQV1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I'd had a Dyna or something I probably wouldn't either, but a solid mount Sportster stage 2 is a different thing. Livewire a bit out of my pocket and really needed better pass accommodation, CCS would have been nice though

Model 3 proved to me that EV's have become so good with one pedal driving, smoothness, quietness and just general lack of fuss day to day that I've put my Harley up for sale and bought a BMW C Evolution - basically a two wheeled i3. Zero fuss, zero drama and so easy to live with two ev's

try one of these https://www.mountainpassperformance.com/?s=lift and one of these https://www.mountainpassperformance.com/product/mpp-model-y3-skid-plate/ then go laugh at that track

Question comes up alot on forums, I'm led to believe the plated weight of the trailer is what matters rather than the actual weight. In your case as the trailer is plated for 1050 and the car is rated for 1000 you would be in trouble if anyone looked close enough at the plates

They did extend for a few months in the beginning/middle of last year

my understanding is you register because it was a badly-ported disabled vehicle registration system rather than a built-for-purpose coded thing. This is upheld by the fact the ULEZ does use DVLA lookup as it's purpose built not adapted

I Would like to be able to change the charge rate from the app. Live in an apartment with underground c/p so it takes a while to go and change the rate.

My solution (1st time) was to drive up on some caravan levelling ramps I had (using summon!!) then a trolley jack on either side - left ramps in place just in case. If people cleverer than me would like to look at the draper series of locking jacks, the one I used has a mechanical lock which...
