    Auto Defogger - how to turn it off ?

    Yeah. These things become infuriating and eat away at you, eh? With this one I think it could be solved if they’d just let us turn it off in settings or by a soft override, as I’d suggested above, just by tapping the defog button to ‘stand it down’

    Auto Defogger - how to turn it off ?

    I think It probably is working as the manufacturer intended, it’s just that I think the software could be tweaked to give an override. I’ll raise an SR maybe though just in case.

    Auto Defogger - how to turn it off ?

    I know this is a bit of an old thread but am I the only one who feels like my eyes are being dried out by the super jet blast warm air of absolutely not required auto defogging. It gets massively uncomfortable and distracting. I have the front and rear defogging buttons docked to my screen so...

    Supercharger History - Leased Car

    Thanks for the answers folks @NorfolkMustard the link you sent worked but I can’t for the life of me see how you got to that from the page that I log into. From the Tesla website, when I log in, I don’t get a ‘Manage’ or a ‘History’ - I seem to just have three links: Home (which goes to the...

    Supercharger History - Leased Car

    I got my car today and am still waiting on a home charger install, so my 'getting to know the car' trip was to a local Supercharger. I have previously set up a payment card in my Tesla account, and the charging went to plan. Nice and quick, plenty of bays available, etc. When I'd finished, the...

    The Model 3 - 2020 Q3 Order Thread

    My reg and VIN came exactly 5 days before pick up date via text message; I've seen a few people mention the 5 day mark too.

    In terms of log in - the lease company who manage our company cars used my work email address for the Tesla account. They didn't tell me but i noticed all of a sudden I was getting marketing emails from Tesla to my work email. So I went to the tesla site log in page and did a password reset and...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    I think the simple answer is - when they need doing... I never needed to 'pre-approve' work with my current lot, just go and book direct with the service partner for things like tyres, or the dealership for servicing. In my case (Inchcape for the current car) they've provided those people with...

    Switching to Octopus Go (from British Gas)

    In my area, Octopus go tariff rates are as follows: Off-peak unit rate (00:30-04:30): 5.00 p / kWh Peak unit rate (04:30-00:30): 13.72 p / kWh Standing Charge: 25.00 p / day It doesn't matter what you are using electricity for you pay the price relevant to the time you use it, and based on...

    Dilemma: Petrol Station Etiquette

    I'd not even considered this socially complicated aspect of EV Life :eek: I'd probably just park in the 'shopping' spaces and time my trips to go when there wasn't a queue, otherwise yeah, I'd stand in line with the ICE cars waiting to pump. Might now need to look into replacing my petrol...

    The Model 3 - 2020 Q3 Order Thread

The way Tesla build batches of different specifications rather than build sequentially to order...

    I recognised it too! We have family in NB, and like you my first trip was aged 13. They have a farm though so spent much time thrashing round on a quad bike playing with combine harvesters, snowmobiles and going canoeing - this produced a far more 13yo friendly experience! Surely you were wowed...

    I am in the text recipients club! I'd given up pursuing Tesla directly, trying carefully to wean myself off the new dependency I had formed, so came as a nice surprise! Offered as a home delivery for 02nd Sept. I don't know the VIN but maybe if I gave them a call? Not sure it matters much does...

    Ring Doorbell Owners (Car Security Cam Suitability)

    I use a Netatmo Presence outdoor camera that's mounted in the apex of our porch roof. Its been great so far. No storage costs, the device notifies you when there's detected movement in a target area that you can define, and it can tell the difference between people, cars, animals and other and...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    Yes - you wont be able to use the Tesla App until you’ve actually picked up the car, as LongRanger says this is normal. I was referring to the website rather than the App, and whilst you wont see your car order on your tesla account on the web, the fact that one has been set up is a good sign...

    There is almost a poetic romance in your description ;) I agree from an uneducated standpoint - I don’t know much about the capability of AI, i heard of some examples of it learning emotional signals of human faces for example but there are so many layers. 80/20 rule all over.

    Software testing

    I was thinking the same things, and indeed I’d extend that to general quality. From reading the threads it does seem there is a very high reliance on fix forward. I guess I get the general quality problems creeping through a bit more as they’re hammering to get orders out to meet order sheet...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Wonder if its scraping data from inventory lists? The highest number on there came out of factory on 22 May so i guess not on the Sun as I’d woefully guessed before, probably already arrived and added at some point to inventory, so might not be that useful a site for what you’re after? I don’t...

    This site has more detail in so much it provides the date it left the factory and hence a build date - but not all VINS are there You can interpolate if yours is missing between two others, or if its higher you can wait until it gets refreshed. I have no idea where the info comes from or how...

    Is that covered in the parts catalogue? https://epc.tesla.com/#/systemGroups/47318 Looks like you’re holding the top left of a screen cowl which seems to want for a trim clip?

    Didn't this thread start with a tracker that people could add this sort of information into? I’d assumed that has stopped getting updates now?

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    I’d gone standard wheels on the LR. Mine is a company car though so might see whether the company insurance covers a pot hold crack incident. They wouldn’t cover my kerb rash but something like that might pass. I’ll take a look, thanks for the heads up

    I was going to ask the same question - mine is a company car through ALD, who told me a little while back: “Tesla do not provide us with updates for their orders and we aren’t able to chase them for this. Tesla will contact you direct as soon as they have a vehicle allocated to your order. I...

    Euro 2019 Sales

    It seems an odd way to run a production line, though I wonder whether the overall figures flatten it out or make it even more peaky at quarter end? Do they make them at a consistent rate but just not ship them or do they actually run a peaky production line?

    Tesla Model 3. What extras would you add direct from the factory ?

    Tesla Model 3. What extras would you add direct from the factory ?

    Thinking of the things my other car has, I’d like to see: Tinted rear windows Power boot/froot 360 cameras for parking Car play (or android version) mainly for better quality calls and voice control/dictation for messaging etc Blind spot indicators in mirror I’d like to see two hitch being...

    My garage is also pretty poor for the existing WiFi, the signal there is pretty degraded due to the thickness of the walls and such. The plug in mains WiFi extenders won’t work for me because the garage is on a different ring to the main house, so I have been thinking about running a network...
