    Car on old firmware

    Any luck after the camera swap? Also, how much do they charge for the new cams?

    Bank Transfer to Tesla refused by HSBC [UK}

    Yes, good advice to contact Tesla to get it sorted. I remember a few years back when I paid my final 49k GBP for final payment and the payment got missing for a day. Stressful as it could be, Tesla could find the payment after contacting them. I'm sure they will sort it out when you call them...

    Radio static-like cutting in and out.

    I reported this to Tesla in UK a couple of weeks ago ( mostly statically when using DAB radio). They told me it was indeed a recurring issue that has been fixed before but now returned and would be fixed in a future SW release. O certainly hope so as I currently use my local radio stations using...

    what's the trick to get autopark to work?!

    So, just bring a mop and a bucket to clean the tarmac and then repaint the lines with the white paint you also brought. After that, pop back into the car and push the auto-park button! Easy peasy!!

    M3 Performance - Traction control on hard acceleration

    I think you have the answer in your own post: When the road is not 100% dry, traction control kicks in due to the high torque as there is always oil residuals on the roads. So yes, with the P version, this is normal.

    Charging older vehicles at CCS Superchargers with adapter - is it possible?

    You will need to get the CCS upgrade (which also includes the adapter)

    Elon buying Manchester United?

    Maybe a sign that out will be a giga-factory built in UK? (Wishful thinking)

    Elon buying Manchester United?

    Well, well, well... Although it shouldn't affect the SP of Tesla, it's an interesting comment by Elon to say he will buy Manchester United. As a share owner, I can only see it as a positive where the stadium probably will become the Tesla stadium which will be great advertisement. On top of...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I'm sure the sale of the stocks is an outcome of many "What if"- scenarios based on: - Upcoming Twitter trial and it's possible outcomes - Announcements planned for AI-day - Q3 earnings reporting - Stock split on August 17 Add the possibility for a multitude of lawsuits that will emerge from...

    Granny charger

    I did my homework now on our wonderful thing called Google. The Nobo System 500 mains filter is rated at 2kW so still valid comment that it is overloaded.
  13. DaSwede

    Granny charger

    You're probably right on that one! :) Anyway, something tells me that the filter design was not meant to be used for a continuous load of 3kW for hours. But the good news is that the owner had a good nose to smell the melting plastic!

    Granny charger

    For clarification, 275 VA is equal to 275 W. The granny charger will crank out 2000W+ so a no-go
  15. DaSwede

    Granny charger

    Your problem are the components inside the box. They are rated for a maximum of 275 VA. You're lucky the house is still there!

    Tesla UK T0 Tyre Directive

    I think there is no reason to panic about this. Since Tesla has not sent out any information to owners about any change, I cannot see this being genuine information. Let's say it would be an actual requirement and this has not been shared to owners... Then I assume that Tesla quickly would have...

    UNECE paves the way for L3

    Well, with everything mentioned above, we still need the legislation changes to take place before we ever will see any of the technology used on British and European roads. The most important part of this first step is to have all the laws and regulations amended to approve the use of more...

    Overstay Charge - But I didn't overstay!

    I'm not sure why you have waited for over 2 months if you received a notification 10 minutes after the overstay. I guess you can contact Tesla SC for advice but my guess would be that you waited too long so they cannot even pull up the data from your car and the charger. So, maybe just live with...

    Wiki Your first UK Tesla MOT? Checklist before the visit.

    Anyone who is really worried about the MOT and living close to a Tesla centre: have a chat with your local Tesla centre to see where they are getting their MOT performed. That way, you'll know that the MOT garage have seen plenty of Tesla cars before and thus, are likely to know what to do. If...

    Tesla block supercharger

    Well, from a liability perspective, Tesla is obviously liable for their cars and not other brands. I find it quite reasonable that they block supercharging on salvaged cars as these are likely to have had an impact that caused some damage to the battery pack. That is likely the top reason why an...

    Auto volume adjustment with speed

    I agree, that would be great. Now, we just need Elon to scan through the UK section of this forum and ask the developers to add the feature! ;)

    [UK] 2022.12.x

    I personally think that the mileage number is causing Tesla more headaches than it is doing anything good. There is an excellent representation of estimated mileage based on your average through the last 30 miles in the car that can be displayed and which is very helpful. I would like that to be...

    [UK] 2022.12.x

    Well, maybe that's a good thing. Thinking of it a bit, what does this mileage really tell you? The range is totally dependent on temperature, wet/dry weather, length of trip, hot or cold battery and driving style. So, if you set it to a percentage, it makes total sense. But I don't really see...

    Pre-conditioning for short trips

    Preconditioning is great if you are planning a longer road trip and want to maximise the range. So, setting charging to 100% and preconditioning while still plugged in gives your car the best range for a longer trip.

    Model 3 second best selling car in the UK in 2021

    Here is the 2021 list. And M3 did indeed sail into the second place. There's a great possibility that Tesla will get the #1 spot this year as we will start seeing MY being delivered as well!

    End of year price-drop for used MS

    For anyone looking for a used model S, Tesla just lowered the prices on their used inventory with price reductions up to £11000. So, anyone looking for a deal, take a look at the Tesla website and act quickly. It's likely that the prices will go up again in January as they are doing the last...

    What happens when you drive from UK to Europe? Headlight? Self drive overtaking?

    At least on model S, the headlight beam is not particularly biased against left or right so you don't need to perform any changes to the headlights. As for overtaking, the car will adjust to the country you are in automatically.

    U.S. opens formal safety probe for Autopilot - 2021 Aug 16

    Thanks for the link to the letters, it validates my previous thoughts: The letter is stating: "As Tesla is aware, the Safety Act imposes an obligation on manufacturers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment to initiate a recall by notifying NHTSA when they determine vehicles or...

    U.S. opens formal safety probe for Autopilot - 2021 Aug 16

    It probably is worse than that: I don't think NHTSA are prepared for any additions of features over-the-air that will increase safety of the mobile fleet of cars. They are still in the mindset that if you "retrofit" anything to safety components in a car, it has to be that you had a defect in...

    U.S. opens formal safety probe for Autopilot - 2021 Aug 16

    Now, NHTSA are complaining about Tesla not issuing a recall notice for a "safety defect": https://apnews.com/article/technology-business-software-881ef270cbfdc6e4f62b88400588686f In my opinion, it is not a safety defect but rather an improvement of the existing system. No cars in the world has...

    Cost (charging)

    Very true. As far as I know, Tesla is the only brand that you pay for what you get into your battery. Others, you are paying for the cable losses and charger insufficiencies which may be 10-15% more

    Cost (charging)

    I saw that you are new to the forum so welcome! 1. If the pricing is confusing, maybe this will help: If you have a model 3 Long range, your total battery capacity is about 75 kWh. So, if you would run your battery down to half, it would take 37.5 kWh to charge it back to full. In that case...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    ... And they are working hard to get to the goal. With the expanded production in Fremont, they will have a capacity of 5-6M cars/annum by end of next year. And that is only by using the existing factories. So, production capacity may be 25%+ of that 20M goal with 8 more years to go!

    Powering the 12v port to run a fridge, can an app keep the Tesla awake?

    Well, the additional draw of the 12v battery will require the high voltage battery to kick in and recharge the 12v battery if you have a constant drain due to an added fridge. So, it will indirectly put more pressure on the charging circuit. My thought was that by connecting it to a standalone...

    Powering the 12v port to run a fridge, can an app keep the Tesla awake?

    I think it is a bit of madness to start trying to defeat the power system to run a fridge since it would clearly void the warranty of the car as Tesla have said that the car cannot be used as a power supply. Maybe better to buy a standalone battery to power the fridge rather than trying to...
