Great news. It's been confirmed. As EM said Actually Auto Summon and Smart Auto Wipers are being released as a single entity. Apparently to be called SMART ASS AUTOWIPE.

Drove in pitch black last night on full beam. I was passed by about seven or eight vehicles coming the other way and watched the matrix pixels turn off and then wipe back to normal. No one flashed me and the ability to drive with full beam is a real advantage. Does exactly what it says on the...

After a career in corporate business, I spent my last working years as a consultant asset manager for a venture capital business or legalised crime syndicate - depended on whether you were a donor or recipient of money from them. Tiring of such futility, I retired to the west of France with my...

Here in France, a blood test is given every year. The point is not to see the 'actual' result, it's to monitor the trend. Over the last 10 years, mine has gone up and down between 0.99 and 1.10 Doc tells me that if over the period of 12 months, it rises by more than 1 then more checking is done.

Wherever you get it from, order the 5 litre can. Saves time later...

I'd be interested to see the maths...

Today's Times. Behind a paywall so I quote: Sathnam Sanghera Monday January 08 2024, "I gave up car journalism a few years ago but got a reminder of what it sometimes involved with the loan of a Bentley Flying Spur over Christmas. It was incredible: bigger than a caravan but somehow as...

Trip planner on mobile - not bad, could be useful. Blind spot, yep it's OK. The rest, just noise.

I'm in France - 44.30.1 installing. Minor Fixes. custom lock sounds, trip planner on mobile, more camera views, blind spot camera, light show and some games.

According to the article copied below, there are four levels of warning that manufacturers can choose from - and all can be overridden. The 'lightest level' just shows the speed limit in the car - which my M3 has done since I bought it. Anyway, I have 2023.38 installed, live in France and, as...

I guarantee...in fact I will put money on it, that before the day is through, the Luddites will be saying that the fire service are putting forward government propaganda and it was in fact an EV that started the fire...OR...there were EV's in the car park that 'made it worse'.

OK...I'll take a look.

Me too. Same as 32.1...but with a 4 at the end.

I have 32.1 in France and it looks just like 32.1 from Dilly above. There have been no chimes for speed limits nor does there seem to be any reference to them.

I've just looked through mine this morning. All the release notes say is Minor Fixes and Hebrew added. I'm heading out later so I'll check if there are any new chimes added to the normal cacophony...

Sounds, like me, you don't wear rings or bangles or bracelets...or have long nails. Apparently, some people do. They tend to leave their mark on the screen and around door handles. I have a matte Spigen, as I did on my first M3. I haven't noticed any clarity or sensitivity issues.

Two new models now available in France quoting Oct/Nov delivery. Basic €42900, Long Range €50900. Same colours as current Model.

Problem solved. I mean, you'd hardly notice it was there...😄

Yes, it's a tax. If you don't like it, don't visit.

The Crit'air vignette is designed to be read by cameras which will be mounted in the affected cities. They are not there yet and not expected until late 2023 in Paris and at least the second quarter of 2024 in other cities affected. If you have actually applied for the vignette and drive an...

.08 downloaded. It's deja vu...all over again...

Albeit in France but exactly how I've done it for the last 4 years as well.

I have it. No noticeable difference on anything except a manual tyre mileage counter is now available. Maybe the next update will have a counter to tell me how long it's been since I bought FSD...on my last Tesla.

These days, the main daily users of the peage are business travellers and trucks - who do tend to have badges. I know you mean 'locals' in a different sense but unlike the UK, there are so many other quick options for town-to-town travel, actual locals just don't use the peage to get around...

https://www.bipandgo.com/en/ I live in France and also have a place in Spain so drive there regularly. Other badges are available but I've used this for 12 years without any difficulty. I think this link is to the English version of the site: Your Liber-t electronic toll payment subscription |...

I think your post is highly insightful. It has prompted me to consider the subject in greater detail. That stubborn dirt on the white car seat so easily becomes a catalyst for contemplation, surely it is inviting us to ponder our pursuit of perfection and embrace instead, the chaotic beauty of...

Hang onto it. In 50 years, it'll be worth a fortune.

I haven't worn anything except jeans in my two Model 3's. Questionable daily fashion I accept (hey, I'm retired and live in France - who gives a damn?) but there isn't even a hint of blue on my seats. However, like a well known Duke, maybe I don't sweat...

I've passed the daily messy kids stage so can't comment on that but it's now eight months since I picked-up my 3 with white interior. Apart from normal vacuuming, I've never cleaned the seats. They all look pretty much like they did on day one to me.

First time I've had an update where the screen in my car just states: 2023.12.05. Nothing else...just a blank screen.:(

This. As the driver, you have to second guess AP in certain situations and have had to do so for the last four years which is one hell of a long beta test.

It may very well be as the RAC site suggests - I only have two because the property we purchased in Spain, bizarrely, had three left in the garage. Anyway, be a change leader...buy a triangle/help-flash package which is now all the rage in Spain :)

Our heating is oil and wood so that's another 1500€ for us. Interesting figures though.

According to EDF, last year I used 12.200Kw for the year to run the house and the car at a cost of 2400euros.

The whole house is single phase - in a French sort of way. Our original cadastre is dated 1730 with numbered plots and even then, old buildings all over the place. I'm convinced that the plot of the field next to us, in which vines grow, actually extends about halfway into our kitchen where...

Thank you so much for all your responses. The reason why we wouldn't route to the house is that the garage block is quite a distance from the main house and the whole plot is, as you would expect from a 300+ year old property, haphazard :) It's really only the garage block that lends itself to...

Thank you all for your responses. In France, solar power has turned into the replacement windows/conservatory pressure selling that the UK suffered from in the '90's. '1€ to install and then become wealthy selling all your electricity back to the grid' type of thing. I've just given up trying to...

We live most of the year in the SW of France. I have a Model 3P and we are about to buy a YLR. Having made this investment in EV's, I am wondering about setting up a solar powered infrastructure to charge them. Our garage is a structurally sound Charentaise building with an east facing roof area...

Maybe nothing at all but the contact phone number for the USA is the same as the contact number for a company selling magic mushrooms :D You may also like to read the 3 Trustpilot reviews: Cyberquadsales is rated "Great" with 3.9 / 5 on Trustpilot I don't think I'd make a bee-line to them for...

Post install, I tried my very best received pronunciation, 'Air hair lair, dwive orf dine the tine'. As normal, the glovebox opened...

I don't think he had any idea.

I genuinely don't understand the apparent requirement for 500/600 mile range batteries. During the week, my home charger deals with 50-150 mile trips and on my quarterly long distance runs from Bordeaux to South Spain, the Tesla network just deals effortlessly with the whole trip. It might (I...

What model of Land Rover is that? I have a 2012 Discovery (heavy brick shaped too) and can just about squeeze 650 kilometres of range into it. 700 miles (1100 km) is a stunning amount. o_O

I like it. Cakibeare...often seen in French woods...

I've added 'three years as beta tester for Tesla' to my LinkedIn profile.

I've been driving M3's for over 3 years now and the capability of my current M3P seems to be worse than my first car. If autopilot was designed to take the driving effort away, it's not working. It's slow to activate in overtaking, slow during overtaking some vehicles and slow to return to lane...

Just received an email telling me I can refer a friend or family member and if they purchase, I get 10,000km of charging and they get 5,000. Sounds great! BUT they have to take delivery by this Friday:D

I have the Spigen too - I also had one on my last M3. From a visibility viewpoint, I don't really think about it which, presumably, means it's doing its job. As far as protection, I guess it's like insurance, you hope you never have to use it but it gives you peace of mind to have it. They're...

We already know it was a dark and stormy night...the rain continued to fall in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by violent gusts of wind which swept curtains of water across the road like a hurricane let loose in a B&Q monsoon shower (other brands are available) well...
