I would be asking them to look into that further. The O ring was for the powered strut on later models. I have a feeling you’ve been done over on this one and the issue you’re suffering is the exact reason the recall was put in place.

Didn’t you say you only had the harness recall carried out a few months ago? I’d be pushing that and saying the harness recall is at fault.

Package arrived today. Ordered a t-shirt! Though, they give enough points for two t-shirts, so maybe I should get another…

Wouldn’t it be nice to know what Musk is thinking? Or maybe it wouldn’t.

Musk has stated expansion will be slowed, sadly. Though some existing sites will be expanded.

So Elon has confirmed they’re slowing SuC rollout. It’s disappointing, but I can see it. As others have pointed out, other companies have sat back on their plans to roll out rapid charging networks and have been happy to use the SuC network, instead. Why put in the effort and expense when...

This is all very much speculation, but I wonder whether the surprisingly positive reception to the latest earnings call where they focussed on everything but private car sales has bolstered Elon to go full steam ahead on AI/robotaxi/Optimus/etc. It’s certainly a bold move, if that’s the case...

I am not trying to prove anything. I have referenced an article. I know Fred can be quite negative about Tesla, however this article is from a different contributor and he makes reference to an internal email at Tesla mentioning the layoffs. I struggle to see how Tesla can maintain a similar...

Can you provide some basis to this statement?

I wonder if by Gatwick they mean the 4x SuC at the Gridserve forecourt or the Gatwick SC? Either way, with the SuCs being significantly cheaper than the alternatives, they are going to be even more hammered than they already are with all the cabs.

Interesting news/rumour from Electrek today saying Tesla has sacked its ~500 strong Supercharger team. Apparently they will finish building the sites in progress, but no new ones will be going in. https://electrek.co/2024/04/29/tesla-conducting-more-layoffs-including-entire-supercharger-team/...

I was also baffled when I saw I’d been credited the points. Then I saw someone post about this on one of the FB groups. Looking forward to receiving the goody pack…

Seeing as we’re looking at the EU, not the US, here’s some figures: UK average income (2022): £34963 Spain average income (2022): €29113 That’s from Statistica.com Current exchange rate is £1 = €1.16 so that Spanish income is around £25.1k. Everything is considerably cheaper in Spain to...

If you look at the median, the US population earn a relative pittance. There are also a lot of people that earn a lot of money. The tech sector is definitely a gravy train in the US.

As someone else already mentioned, we’ve been paying higher prices since long before Brexit came along. Not just with cars, but everything. I remember challenging an Apple UK manager about the differences in price between the same models in the US and UK back in the early noughties. They...

It would be worth comparing the prices of the cars to the average/median income of the people in the countries. A Tesla may be cheaper in Spain, but people also generally earn a lot less, over there. We can afford to pay more as we get paid more, so that will be factored into the price. Works...

Dealt with a few of those, in my time. Naughty, naughty.

Just to muddy the waters, theft of vehicles also include those vehicles bought using finance where the purchaser has then done a bunk. Finance companies report the vehicles as stolen in hopes of this being recovered by the police. I wonder how many of the Tesla thefts listed are “regular”...

I’ve been using the Zappi IO integration since it first became available and have found it the best way to go about it. Just bear in mind you are setting a % of charge to add, not a charge limit. So don’t just leave it on 80% if you only need 20 or 30%.

Turn bluetooth off and back on again. On an iPhone, ensure this is done through the main Settings app, not through control centre.

I know I seem to be the only person that appears to have suffered this issue, but 8.7 seems to have finally fixed the issue with my driver wing mirror not raising to the correct level when setting my profile initially. It would always work when manually selecting my profile. It would work for a...

I had it on 8.4 but it seems to have disappeared on 8.7.

That just sounds like bad driving.

Charging schedules are generated based on previous charging speeds. As you’d had a slower charge rate previously, it mapped the charge based on the slower speed. As your more recent charge was at the faster 32A rate, you should find future charge schedules will be based on the faster charge...

I can only vouch for this anecdotally, but my driveway is on a slight incline and it seemed to me like the lights were slightly high after the adaptive lights update. I “recalibrated” by going into the light calibration screen on a flat surface and that seemed to improve things. Possibly.

I’d just point out that with the Zappi integration, the % you set is “Charge to add” rather than a target SoC. So don’t just leave it on 80% or similar if you only generally need 20% or 30%. If you do this, you’ll be given far more charging slots than you actually need and could be seen to be...

If you plug the car in on Fast mode it will just charge at the peak rate. You need to have the Zappi on Eco+. I’d suggest you simply delete the schedule on the Zappi to be sure. I would suggest all of this information can be found in the guides...

‘21 3LR on 8.7 and I’m also showing offline rather than asleep. Been like that since 2024.8.x.

You should, yes. Put the Zappi in Eco+ mode and IO will push through smart boosts to carry out its schedule. Also make sure there’s no schedules set in the car. You don’t have to delete the Zappi schedules, as long as they are deactivated.

I think Admiral have decided to go for the EV market. They’ve been the cheapest for us for the past 3+ years. They also had a big stall at Everything Electric in London these past few days. No other insurance companies were present.

There’s no need to set the Zappi to fast for IO to work. Leave it in Eco+ mode. IO schedules will be created pretty quickly if you plug in later in the day, however may not appear immediately if you plug in before 6pm, but will generate subsequently.

I also get the indicator when the issue manifests. It feels like the car starts taking the off-ramp, realises it shouldn’t be then indicates to change back onto the motorway and swerves back to the original lane, but it all happens very quickly and erratically.

AP jerking to the left then swerving back to the right when passing junctions has been happening to me for years. Curiously, it doesn’t happen in Spain. There’s something about the layout of UK motorway junctions than confuses AP.

Yes. You’ll integrate via the Zappi, so IO won’t interact with the Tesla directly.

As it says “Charge limit” it means you’re using the Tesla integration. You could try disconnecting your car in the IO settings and set it up again but when it asks how to connect, select charger rather than car. If you select Zappi first, it’ll integrate via that. Be mindful it will also ask...

You’re in the settings. You need to have a look at the Devices screen where you set the charge % and ready by time.

What does the Devices screen show when you look at charging preferences? Does it say “Charge to add” or something like “Charge target?”

Sounds like I quit working in central London just in time! I occasionally used this when driving in for a late shift, which certainly made life cheaper. Together with the CC discount going, central London will be a no-drive zone.

I doubt it’s anything to do with EAP/FSD. I have FSD and have the latest update. They may have discovered a new issue and pulled the update (again!).

Rather than using the Tesla integration, why don’t you try linking IO to the Zappi? The IO-Zappi integration works very well and is more reliable than the Tesla integration, as the Zappi tends to have a more reliable connection to the internet and the API just seems to be more reliable in general.

I don’t know. I’m unaware of the statement you’re referring to. However, having had my 3 for over 3 years, I feel the auto wipers were perfectly acceptable, albeit not perfect, for the first almost 3 years of ownership, however in recent weeks I’ve found them to be utterly rubbish. This could...

I’m rather bemused by all the people insisting the auto wipers haven’t changed and it’s all down to user experience. A Tesla engineer acknowledged on Twittex they had made changes a couple of updates back. The tweet was posted to the appropriate update thread, at the time.

Got 8.7 last night and today took a drive (and back down) to Everything Electric in the incredibly variable weather. The wipers were absolutely horrific. Initially, loads of dry wiping to the point I turned off auto-wipers. Then on the way back with heavy rain the wipers would do their job, then...

You will receive the full charge schedule at the off-peak rate, despite this having been as a result of the car having a low charging rate set. There are various ways to game the tariff to obtain increased off-peak slots, however these are clearly morally wrong.

Bluetooth can be a bit finicky and the connections can sometimes hang, leading to them not working as they should. It can happen with all sorts of BT devices, not just the car. If you find BT connections are being glitchy, turning BT off and back on (if an iPhone, in the settings app, not...

I thought my dipped beams looked a little high after the update. Try going into the headlight calibration/adjustment screen whilst the car is on a level surface. You don’t need to adjust anything, but going into the adjustment apparently recalibrates the sensor. Worth a shot. I thought my...

Try turning Bluetooth off and back on on your phone.

Interesting. They must have changed how this works, in that case. Recall when Tesla went through a phase of having server outages where people would try to fix it by logging out of the app, which would delete their phone key, and then due to the server outage they couldn’t log back in and were...

Signing out in the Tesla app will delete the phone key linked to that account. Not the end of the world, but it does mean you’d need to set it up again when you log back into the original account.

I used the Auth for Tesla app, but gave it the Owners API token. Worked straight away.
