I tried AmpCharge for the first time yesterday (hence my question). I did get a notification on my phone that the VID had been obtained (can’t remember the exact wording) so maybe AutoCharge will work without a cloud account? I’ll try next week on my return. In the meantime I sent AmpCharge...

Hi, did you get anywhere with this? I cannot even see the AutoCharge setting in the App. Perhaps this feature has been withdrawn for now?

Sorry - was a bit obtuse with where it was 🤔

Just turn off phone as key in the setting in the Tesla App.

Another possibility is the LED light under the door is playing up. This happened to me.

Try a recalibration of the windows. https://service.tesla.com/docs/Public/diy/model3/en_us/GUID-B6C81FC2-A37C-462B-8A71-FDE0F7B0734E.html

Maclean is showing down in the app as of Saturday 7 October.

I was driving down Victoria Road today in the left hand bus lane (very narrow) and the car next to me drifted left towards me. I got a boing (or more accurately a load beep) in my right ear exactly where the drifting car was. Pretty impressive! Surround sound 😀🤔

I think they make their money off premium content like sports radio. So podcasts are not a focus for them. Tesla only has Tunein for internet radio (similar to Sonos) so the focus is just on radio. Tesla really needs a dedicated podcast app. I would pay for that - it would make the premium...

I have some podcasts that haven’t update in a while. I never use Tunein because it doesn’t work in the car but I test it occasionally in the hope that something has improved. Nothing is ever fixed with this application. Main issues are 1. Not all podcasts are in the Tunein directory. Why not...

I worry that Tesla has a bit of a blind spot where Podcasts are concerned. It is an obvious candidate for a dedicated in car app but never seems to get any focus.

It was raining but ok visibility, about 13 degrees Celsius - not enough to need to slow and not enough to have affected the range as much as it did. The average efficiency for our trip was 175 wh/km and on this stretch it was 260 wh/km. The new energy graph is impossible for me to read while...

We now have 4 places showing us energy utilisation and range. 1. Battery icon at top of screen which can be changed to show range. 2. Remaining percentage when navigating. 3. Trips screen showing wh/km 4. Energy app showing trip data or consumption data. Which one to believe? They are each...

I think you have misread the notice. It says that the default Fahrenheit temperature has changed to 100 from 105 whereas Celsius default temperature remains as 40. Just the default values.

Did you get the Autopilot restricted to 90km/h (or mph equivalent) alert message? I have reported to Tesla service centre that this alert message is inadequate and there should be an alert similar to the auto steer disable alert when you have to move the steering wheel. Agree that the slowdown...

I’m beginning to understand and agree with this point of view. We have learned TACC’s limitations and will definitely not use it in this situation in future. Though, in the case where TACC limits are reached the alert message should be better. Perhaps a very large warning like Auto Steer alert...

It is great for the passenger on a trip. Much easier to use your mobile than try and hit a button on the car screen while the car is bouncing around (Model 3 ride is pretty bad on our roads) - the passenger volume slider is hopeless and too small. If you have Spotify then you control the car’s...

I just had the situation where the car deliberately slowed to 90km/h while overtaking a semi-trailer due to the spray from the truck. This was not a phantom braking incident but a deliberate failure of radar-less TACC. It displayed an alert message saying that it was reducing Auto Pilot speed...

No, we were in the right hand lane beside the semi at the time. It was not a phantom brake situation. I checked the notifications later and it was definitely Auto Pilot deliberately reducing speed to 90km/h due to poor visibility.

I just had a really bad experience with Radar-disabled TACC. We were passing a semi-trailer on the Hume Highway in fairly mild rain but lots of spray from the truck. TACC was set to 107km/h. As we passed the truck the TACC suddenly slowed to 90km/h. We were right beside the truck with poor...

Drove from Horsham to Tailem Bend today mostly on Auto Pilot. Worked really well (28.2) - trucks, caravans, campers etc etc coming the other way and no problems. I did hang onto the steering wheel though! Noticed for the first time that the car will slow down for 80km/h zones and then change...

I am curious - How do you manage to listen to podcasts at all using Tunein when Tunein doesn’t even remember episode play position? EDIT: The episodes are sorted by release date. There is no way to sort episodes in Tunein. Worst podcast App ever!

Now to get Podcasts on TuneIn working so we don't have to start at the beginning of an episode everytime!!

I finally did a full test of this and multiple phone keys now works exactly as you would hope. 1. When I open the driver’s door it always selects my profile when my partner has their phone with them and gets in passenger side. 2. When my partner opens the driver’s door and I go to the passenger...

I have now worked out that the Auto seat heater setting is turned on when you select Auto climate control. To make worse the selected Auto Seat Warmer buttons are highlighted in grey rather than Blue.

I don’t have the seat warmers set to Auto and still have found them turn on when I didn’t want them on. It seems to be related to the situation you describe - the outside temp is below the temp set in the climate controls. I really want a setting that says “NEVER TURN ON SEAT WARMERS”. I thought...

Hope it stays that way so passenger can conveniently control combined temperature.

You can just drag the charge level point - one less button click 😀

So long as I can get rid of the seat warmer buttons I’ll be happy 😎

It would be good to take into account Righthand drive use. I have always wondered why the only change to RHD cars was to swap the “car info” panel. This makes the left hand menu list in the car controls screen a real stretch for the driver. Also the “X” to close windows is on the far left making...

These bug fix releases gradually improve things that are not really noticeable for each release. For example, early on I would have many times that the car would not unlock when I walked up to it in the morning after overnight deep sleep. Now it never fails to unlock properly and promptly. Same...

About 6 months ago on the road from Cooma to Jindabyne there was an old construction zone that had an 80kph sign. My car read that but then missed the very crappy 100kph sign 100m down the road. I couldn’t use Auto Steer above 80kph for the rest of the drive until another 100kph sign appeared.

I’d like to be able to have a setting to disable TACC completely. I am always worried if friends drive my car who normally drive Japanese cars. In right-hand drive countries Japanese cars typically have turn indicators on the right - same as gear lever in Tesla. So, instead of accidentally...

Or would be even better to have a mini card (like trip meter and tire pressure cards) for the energy graph. I’d have that displaying all the time!

I think perhaps Tesla is trying to make the experience of driving an electric car as seamless as a fossil car w.r.t. charging/refuelling. So, they want the driver to get in and just drive and not worry about range. Obsessively planning a trip due to poor charging infrastructure should not be...

I think they said it was 2021.20 something but still 10.2? Would make sense since it would be around a week 20 build of the software.

Yep...false hope! Damn...

You better not be building up false hope 😬

Podcast support is pretty much broken in TuneIn even on other device types. I have both iPad and Android phone which also don’t work reliably with TuneIn podcasts. Trouble is that on those devices it works occasionally and then TuneIn support claims the problem is fixed. It’s worst on the Tesla...

LHD cars also display the HOLD symbol in place of the 0 KM/H when activated. Perhaps our ADR has a rule that says a car must "always" display KM/H? Very frustrating not to have this feature.

I had similar noise from same general area. Tesla Service fixed a cable inside the rear door that had been installed incorrectly and was rattling around. All good now.

This is great but why not simply put it in place of the big 0 in KM/H area like the US cars have.

A workaround but not a replacement for the temporary button that used to exist is in Controls > Safety & Security > Park Assist Chimes

While i agree with you that this change is ok it could have been achieved much better by moving the odometer and tire pressure cards up a bit so they didn't cover those buttons when they slide into view. Then we would have still had the 3 buttons - Voice, Charge and Camera AND kept the nice...

Gone as well. Only the right hand steering wheel button works now. Passenger can reach over and press that button while you are driving or ask the driver nicely to press it...

When FSD is “doing it’s job” I’m going to be playing fullscreen Solitaire aren’t I? ;)

I would love to have the energy graph as a card on top of the visualisation display. Then you can take that task of your screen touching list ;)

Do all left hand drive cars display “R” and “D” briefly in place of the MPH display when changing gears? And do they display the “Hold” icon in the MPH display when hold is activated? I am asking because my right hand drive Model 3 doesn’t do that. So there seems to be differences in the two...

I think you have summed up the interface change perfectly. If you an Autopilot driver you will like the changes, if you are a diy driver then not so much.

That’s so we can gaze longingly at the old layout...
