    4.2 second M3 LR Update (and other models)

    This is what makes me think it isn't already there, they launched and sold cars for ages with 4.4, why not change it sooner, it stands to reason youd sell more cars and maybe more upgrades by just stating the faster 4.2s speed. I don't get the logic of hiding it... The apps definitely changed...

    4.2 second M3 LR Update (and other models)

    Looks like existing LR are set to recieve a 4.2 speed upgrade as part of the refresh, this is based on existing owners being presented with acceleration upgrade option in app from 4.2 -> 3.7 instead of the former 4.4 -> 3.9 I understand its the same for Performance took, not sure about the SR+...

    [UK] 2020.40.x

    Whats the feeling on the charge point heating? From what Ive seen no one in the UK has mentioned seeing this in their patch notes, but even owners who took delivery in September saying the same. It'd be nice to know if the functionality was there before we find out one cold meeting and end up...

    Switched to neutral whilst driving at speed

    Im not sure that should even be possible!! Struggling to think of a legitimate case for it.

    Profile seat memory

    Quick Q as I can’t see it in the manual, it seems like when switching profiles the seat doesn’t move backwards or forwards, everything else moves... is this correct behaviour or do I have a problem somewhere?

    'Avoid Mororways' option in Nav

    Shouldnt the satnav have looked for a clear route if another route is 10 minutes faster (or whatever you set) Youd think traffic would have picked this up and helped out automatically?

    Telegraph article

    You don’t need to apologise to anyone, well done for highlighting this! Sadly I think Tesla are in profit mode, every penny counts and they know many of their consumers will purchase as the brand pull is high so we get these sorts of situations. It’s not a sustainable approach and I suspect...

    I love the Tesla Acceleration

    I live near Matlock Bath (for those that don't know, its like Mecca for bikers) and they're always doing stupid things and showing off. Earlier today one tried to get past... tried being the operative word, don't think he was expecting that at all. (note I didnt block him and it was perfectly...

    More efficiency or performance tweaks

    I know there’s been some 5% improvements here and there as Tesla find ways to get more out of the motors, but I wondered how likely is it that we might see more efficiency or free tweaks coming from software updates into the future?

    Model 3 Rear Sill protection

    Hi guys I’m looking for some suggestions or inspiration on a sensible and effective solution for protecting my rear sills from our gang of lovely but clumsy kids. Has anyone tried this and could anyone recommend a product?

    My V5 came within about a week of picking up the car, perhaps yours was lost during the covid crisis?

    RWD or AWD

    - Faster (with options to make it faster for some £s) - Better control and handling (yes SR owners are keen to say it’s fine and it probably is but it’s still not AWD) - Better audio (sub and amps) - Longer Range - Heated rear seats - Extended connectivity trial - Options for 19” sports wheels...

    FSD saved us from being crushed by a semi

    Which is well within the realms of AI and we’re decades away from having that in cars.

    Can see they’re going to be aiming for quality vs quantity... Tesla will need to be very sharp and catch up quickly before the reputation of shoddy build quality sticks.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Lots of comments on other places about cars coming with Tesla mud flaps fitted or in the boot for self fitment, with some commenting they are now standard and should be supplied, can anyone who’s collected corroborate this?

    Is there ‘really’ quality control issues in the UK?

    Exactly, I had 2 DPFs fail in 2 years on my old evoque, covered by warranty (one good will) as it’s a known design fault but it could have easily cost £2k+ a pop and they were happening daily with other customers. Those are real faults, Tesla faults appear (generally) to be more disappointingly...

    Is there ‘really’ quality control issues in the UK?

    I’ve not had my car yet (Thursday) but I’ve been floating around these forums for about a month and can say they read no differently to any other car forums I’ve ever been on. Rather inherently people tend to come to car forums (or the internet) to complain or ask questions, and those who ask...

    Anyone know why Tesla only supply front mud flaps with the official kit? Is the rest not susceptible to paint damage etc?

    Probably yes, sounds like they didn’t switch to usb c until they reopened after covid which was around mid may I think. There might be a few in the mix that have it.

    Had a load of kit delivered from AliExpress yesterday actually came really quickly, around 7 days. pedal covers, matte console covers (I can’t manage wrap) and a few other items, I was blown away by the quality and feel!

    Return of phantom 16 amp charging

    I have the same damn problem with the developers where I work... and where I worked before. I’m the head of said companies support departments and have zero tolerance for bad software and testing, real pet peeve!!! Don’t expect it from Tesla, it’s dangerous if nothing else.

    Return of phantom 16 amp charging

    Tesla really need to get better at their software, it's not OK by any standard in any market to be releasing software that breaks as much as it fixes, its especially important when a car is built around said software, god forbid one days something changes that causes an accident and takes a...

    Tesla grantees a licensee for electricity generation

    This vehicle to grid stuff, I assume its something existing owners could take part in and isn't tied exlusively to the new "million mile battery"? Im sure I saw an energy company running trials with Nissan Leaf owners and they'd partnered with Nissan to do it so would assume this won't be...

    Genuine Tesla PPF Kit

    By all accounts the extra length 'add on' guards get caught very easily... Would be very interested to see if the shorter versions do enough to stop damage/mud, I like them because they're quite discrete vs other available mud guards, and with a white M3 I don't want giant black things hanging...

    That would be really great if you could! As the planning permission seems focused on signage they could switch this on quite quickly, fingers crossed as I don't fancy driving to Birmingham every time I need service.

    My 12 year old (going on 15) has the sort of “don’t care” Kevin the teenager attitude you’d expect, gets excited by nothing, but when he heard we were getting a Tesla he became strangely interested and might have considered his Dad a bit cooler than he did earlier lol I think it’s great that...

    Fremont only partially reopened on 11th May and fully reopened 18th May, and the Grand Venus didn't moor until 26th May. I mean its possible if they produced nothing but EU cars but it seems unlikely they'd fill such a big ship with brand new car in just a few weeks of production that was...

    New style Taptes charger (with curved top) has been dispatched and appears to be coming from Belgium not China which is a relief. Should be safe for others to order and not expect any undue delays with this item.
