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...

I took delivery of my M3P about three weeks ago and have been obsessive about ensuring I don't Kerb the wheels. Today, I used AutoPark to parallel park at the exact location I have used many times in my old M3LR without any drama. The kerb is slightly higher than normal at about 25cm or just...

'Elon Musk said Monday he is aiming to get the EV maker's self-driving technology ready by year-end, and said he hopes it could quickly be in wide release in the U.S. and even Europe depending on regulatory approval' As someone who spent 7000€ for this facility two years ago on similar promises...

In amongst all those shocking pictures coming from Ukraine this morning was one showing traffic jams heading out of Kyiv. There, in the middle, was a white Tesla Model 3. I don't know why, it just seemed to bring it home that one moment you could be fussing about the latest update and the next...

Although we don't have this functionality in Europe, the media appear to think we do, Tesla adds chill and assertive self-driving modes

So, my first trip to the UK in my 2020 M3. Having accepted (in France) that I have to manage the embarrassment of sometimes appearing to brake test other drivers when coming up to bridges, I was surprised to experience another phenomenon driving in the UK on Autopilot. At first, I thought I was...

I have a 20 mile autoroute trip most days and have now become quite comfortable dropping into Navigate on Autopilot and letting autosteer and lane change cruise me to my destination. This morning, it was pouring with rain and I received the message 'Poor Weather Detected, NoA limited'. Fair...

I've had my car a year now and while I understand things take time to implement, one particular irritant is how, when engaging autosteer, if I'm not in the exactly the correct place in the lane, the car lurches violently into what it decides is the correct position...at least it does on mine...

It would appear that in the USA, the NTSB/NHTSA are starting to push back against Tesla's FSD testing. While the attached article is about the potential dangers of testing FSD on public roads, it also seems to show the difference between the reality (lawyers for Tesla) and the marketing (Elon...

Je sais qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de Model 3 dans la région mais j'ai peut-être de la chance ... Quelqu'un peut-il recommander un installateur en 16, 17 ou 33? J'ai installé le système de coffre avant, mais le coffre arrière est plus compliqué!

Every so often I scan the main part of the Daily Mail website after looking at their MoneyPages (which are quite informative). I've noticed that they seem to have taken a very 'anti' view on the recent announcement that the UK should move from new ICE cars by 2030 and on electric cars in...

For the second (very rainy) day in a row, FSD on navigate has cut out two or three times over the course of a motorway journey because of blocked pillar cameras - at inopportune moments such as auto lane change. Yesterday, I received the camera blocked message just as I was about to set off from...

Ouch! The report seems to mirror at least some of the comments on here: 'Teslas seemingly desirable Tesla Model S saloon and Model X SUV both get the poorest possible mark for 0-3-year reliability thanks to disastrously high fault rates and lengthy garage stays,' Which? researchers said. A...

'Canada Tesla driver charged over 'napping while speeding' Well, I know I couldn't do this in my M3. I'd love to be in court for this one. Tesla driver charged over 'napping while speeding'

It's a promising start... Open consultation Safe use of Automated Lane Keeping System on GB motorways: call for evidence ( UK Govt) We are consulting on the use of Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS) on Great Britain’s motorways, including: an overview of ALKS ensuring the safe use of...

I'm hoping the combined wisdom of this forum might be able to assist. I am (Covid permitting) bringing my car over to the UK for visits in September. I understand all the Tesla supercharge options but I am staying in a few hotels which have EV charging as well. I presume that they will mostly be...

Tesla stock shoots up after announcement of five-for-one stock split - CNN 5 to 1 stock split - excellent! Given the following: Gigafactories Cars Boring Company SpaceX Maxwell Glass Starlink HiBar Batteries Has to be THE stock of the 2020's.

“So I personally tested the latest alpha build of full self-driving software when I drive my car and it is really I think profoundly better than people realize. It’s like amazing. So it’s almost getting to the point where I can go from my house to work with no interventions, despite going...

Every time I've walked away from my Model 3, I've had a feeling the door closing reminded me of something but just couldn't remember what. Yesterday, it came to me. 1973 Austin 1100. The noise the doors and especially the boot make when shutting them - exactly the same. Like thinly painted tin...

'Basic functionality for level 5' was his exact words: "I'm extremely confident that level five - or essentially complete autonomy - will happen and I think will happen very quickly. "I feel like we are very close. "I remain confident that we will have the basic functionality for level five...

Since taking delivery of my M3 last month, I've had it brake automatically a couple of times when, in my view, the force was over the top. I don't mean 'phantom braking' because I could see the reason why - I just don't appreciate the ferocity. Today, I was on cruise control at 50mph and a truck...
