Was your incident with the route set in the sat nav? I had no route set, so don’t know why the car decided to try and take the slip road.

Usually every trip on the motorway but was put off tonight when the car decided it wanted to take a slip road at the last minute at 70. Frightened the daylights out of my daughter as it was quite a violent swerve.

No epic journeys for me, but I have done Falkirk to Scarborough, Falkirk to Inverness and Falkirk to the Isle of Skye. All without drama in my pre heat pump SR+.

I had the trial last time round. My conclusion was that Auto Lane Change should be included in standard Autopilot and they can keep the rest. Too many other manufacturers can do lane assist, radar cruise control just as well as Tesla, if not better. As Tesla is famous for Autopilot, I reckon...

I’ve never had an issue before.

Careful what you wish for right enough. 2022.20.7 installed and now I have a car that’s alarm goes off when I open the door. Should have skipped this one.

Woke up this morning to 20.7 downloading. Checked app and it was at 50%, but had to leave for work, so no Wi-Fi until I get home again.

I hear ya. I’d rather be late than get a buggy update. I had hoped to have the update with the destination state of charge shown at the top of the nav list last week before I made a road trip, hence hoping the update would arrive quicker. Trip done now, it’s just a pain to have to scroll to the...

Yes, been on advanced since I got the car. Even tried switching to standard and back again.

Been in 2022.16.3 since 9th July. Seems to take an age for updates to be pushed to my car nowadays.

2020 SR+ 265 WH/mile. 13000 miles. Mainly short journeys.

You’d think so if you read Twitter.

Yes, it has to be logged in to the Tesla account.

I also use th ev.energy app with an EO Mini and it works a treat.

2021.12.25 release notes now available. A new game and a couple of new languages. Excitement curtailed.

The Falkirk hub had tumbleweed rolling through it when I passed today. In my opinion, the charges are excessive and nobody seems to be using them since the charge was brought in. Surely a fairer tarrif would have been more beneficial to them as folk would still use the chargers, and still allow...

I have this charger and didn't like the recommended app. I use the ev.energy app, set to charge when the electricity is at 0.055p per kW (Go Faster) and it works a treat.

Stayed at a site in Filey last year and every time I went to the 2 chargers on site, their vans were plugged in, so I charged from the caravan overnight with no problems.

Not sure what Mad Max Mode does, I have the option to turn it on, but haven't. However, I just had a quick blast along the motorway with navigate on Autopilot on, the car waited to it was right on the motorway exit, before suddenly swerving, without slowing down at all. I had thought it was...

Ooh, I never looked for any FSD modes.

Yes, just appeared in my app. Had to go out to the car to enable it in the car, which it says is beta. Haven't had the bottle to try summoning the car yet.

Updated to 2021.4.11 last night. On a short drive today, the heater seemed to be blowing cold air, despite being set to 20 degrees and it being 3 degrees outside.

Nope, just checked Teslafi and there's a SR+ just had 2021.4.10 in Bavaria.

Perhaps it's a SR+ thing.

I am now 10 software updates behind. Strange how updates usually happened a couple of days after release, then nothing.

I'm not sure if the headlight lenses are glass or plastic, I've been worried I will scratch them by scraping.

Never had to on any of my previous cars, which is why I ask. Don't fancy taking the ice scraper to the headlights every time I drive either if I can help it. Last night I used a cloth with hot water before drying them, but that's not practical before every drive.

Sounds quite Scandinavian doesn't it.

Apologies for the spelling error in the title, can't see how to edit it.

Does anyone have any tips on keeping the headlights from frosting up/freezing over in the current cold temperatures? I made a journey of around 12 miles last night and it wasn't until I joined the motorway I realised that I couldn't see a thing as they were frosted over. I obviously cleared...

Another nod to Teslafi, I like the lifetime map. Some great stats available too.

I've never had an issue with the auto wipers, but I've had to switch the wipers off 3 times now since 2020.48.26 as they have been flapping at full speed on a dry windscreen.

No email here. If I do get it, can anyone who has installed it advise how easy it is to apply the film?

Oh, it does look a bit dodgy.

Very true, hadn't thought of that.

Yep, that sort of thing, but more like the size of the spoiler that comes with the Model 3 Performance.

Was just thinking about the "problem" of water and now snow coming off the rear window and boot lid when you open the bootlid and dripping into the boot. The current model 3 rear spoiler mounts on the boot lid rear lip, which got me wondering if a spoiler mounted at the top edge of the boot lid...

I ended ditching the Juice net app and use ev.energy app instead. Works well with Agile.

I'd imagine I'm a bit late to the party for that now.

Yes, that's the type of thing, although I've been looking for them without the carbon fibre effect.

Sorry, I've worded that badly. A while back I seen one piece covers for the centre of the 18"alloys, which cover the centre hole and the nuts, rather than the separate centre cap and nut covers. I can't find it now.

Do you have any other apps connected to your car or charger? I had issues with ev.energy and it turned out the Juice net app that was recommended for my charger (an EO Mini Pro) was conflicting with, and stopping ev.energy from starting my charge.

I've been looking for 1 piece covers for the 18" wheels for when the aero Covers are removed. Anyone any idea where to get them?

Have to agree that BMWs traffic info is way more accurate. Had the Tesla's live traffic been more accurate, I wouldn't have been held up for almost an hour on the A66 yesterday.

I have enjoyed my free trial of Teslafi, some great info in there which satisfies the geek in me. I like the sound of Teslamate, but I have little knowledge of how to set it up. Do you need a Raspberry pi or can it be run on the likes of a Mac?

Some great information here, thanks guys.

Seen one of those earlier. Have you used one? I wasn't sure how easy or effective that would be.

Tried You Tube for the first time today while charging and was surprised when the first ad came on and it was Dutch.

That looks like an option. Thanks.

In light of the model 3 not having a spare wheel. What are you folks carrying in your model 3 to cover you in the event of having a puncture? In a way I'm surprised Tesla don't use run flat tyres, which came to the rescue a few times in my last car.
