I'm pretty sure it's a legal requirement for wipers to be fully functional when driving. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/windscreen-wipers-and-washers-on-road-vehicles/summary-of-the-requirements-for-windscreen-wipers-and-washers-on-road-vehicles

Just press the stalk and the speed / auto options appears

I've noticed a few times recently that my car would stop charging without either going all the way to 90% (my charge limit) or use the full 4-hour window (when the Go tariff is cheapest) and have also messaged them about it. It's kinda random as some nights it's fine, others it just stops...

I thought a blue light meant it was ready to charge and hence the charger was locked, and the light needs to be white before you can detach the charger

I love the visualisation. Saves me from having to look out the windscreen and use my mirrors

I just exclusively use the Ohme app, logging in with my Tesla account and telling it I'm on Octopus Go, and then set it up to never charge above 5p. Seems to work fine for me.

I've got the Ohme Home charger and it's very simple to use. Integrated with Octopus Go tariff, I just plug it in and it only charges in the overnight window. Mine was installed by Smart Home Charge who I can highly recommend for a simple process and professional and tidy installation.

Ok, that's fine. It smells like water, I'm too scared to actually taste it, but reassuring to hear that it's normal.

Frequently I've noticed a pool of water under my model 3 after driving it. Now I'm pretty certain it's not leaking petrol or oil, and I phoned Tesla and they said it's the air con unit and not to worry, but I can't remember any other car I've owned to have this issue. Does anyone else...

Thanks all. Great advice

Is there anything or any stands that really shouldn't be missed? I'm heading across tomorrow and Sunday.

I can't believe there are many pink model 3s out there so chances are you were passed by Jack Massey Welsh https://youtube.com/c/JackMasseyWelsh

130kg sounds like a lot for what is essentially boot liner holding it up!

I'm trying to work out how much I can put in to the storage compartment under the boot floor in my Model 3. I've just checked and it doesn't feel like there's a solid base under the liner. What's the most people have put in that storage compartment? Has anyone managed to damage the liner in the...

Can someone confirm what position the sun has to be in before clicking the button please

Model 3s have 8 cameras in total; 3 forward facing, 2 forward facing to the side, 2 rear facing to the side, and 1 rear facing https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/autopilot

When I first connect the charger it starts charging but if I wait a few seconds then it stops and will use the charge settings in the app. I spoke to Ohme about this and they said it's by design

I've got an Home Wall Charger and it was still smart when I charged it yesterday morning...

What's "this"? The new UI?

When does Agile get cheaper? I thought now summer is here I could start gloating again but alas it's not to be! As each day goes by I'm struggling to not move to their Go tariff. Knowing my luck though, I'll change and Agile will start being cheaper!

And there we go! It's zoomed out! User error!

Not sure if it's the map or software update, or maybe I just haven't noticed it before, but when I'm not navigating the map feels very zoomed in and doesn't show much wider context

It's likely to be a unique set of letters known as a hash that points to the specific version of the underlying code so the developers know the exact code that's part of that upgrade.

"Research shows electric cars are about 40% more likely to hit a pedestrian than a conventional vehicle. One study suggests that 93% of blind and partially sighted people have had problems with them." Source: New law to tackle electric cars’ silent menace to pedestrians

Yup, and a quick Google suggests there are other sources stating this too. For example: "At slow speeds – less than 10km/h – the electric car has negligible noise, but the fuel car is up to 10dB louder, or twice as loud" Source: Are electric cars quieter than petrol or diesel cars? And a bit...

EVs are so much quieter than ICEs at very low speeds (eg reversing). I (reluctantly) asked my wife to move the car the other day and it's incredible how quiet it is. Also why would countries mandate having a PWS on EVs if they were as audible as ICEs?

Yup, I completely understand hence my (downvoted ;)) post above! I've heard of a number of examples where pedestrians haven't realised there was a car or that it was moving, or about to move, due to lack of engine noise.

I personally welcome the PWS. The car is far too quiet when reversing or driving at slow speeds. Pedestrians and other road users just don't hear you and it's verging on dangerous. Until people are retrained and look and not just listen, then something needs to be done.

For me personally there's 2 factors: 1 - It's made me very aware of electricity generation and how the weather and usage patterns also influences those, and has made us very mindful of when we use electricity and how much we use. 2 - This has lead to cheaper bills than our old electricity provider.

I'm intrigued to know what's in a 7GB map update as I thought the images and routing were all downloaded using the sim, and the underlying software would have been part of the main software updates. At least that's what it appears to do as sometimes the map tiles are slow to render.

*goes and grabs popcorn*

Not old fashioned at all, and Tesla agree. There's 2 distinct systems; one for AP / FSD (HW2.5, HW3) and one for the infotainment system (MCU1, MCU2) Source - Differences between MCU1 MCU2 HW2 HW2.5 HW3 AP EAP FSD by Tesla info

How's this different to the games, Netflix, Spotify integration? What's protecting the car from malicious or bad code in those apps? Why couldn't the same model or processes be applied to other app providers?

If it's a known software bug why are they asking for a video?

It's hard to make a financial case for a Tesla but I still have one.

Wow! Mine's around 12kWh max on a day where we don't charge the car

Not a very good thief if they stole pennies worth of electricity to drive an extra few miles! They'd have to sit there for hours before it cost you at least £1!

Has 2020 still not ended yet?

This, and the ability to turn off the headlight flash

I really hope they update the radio so the DAB radio text scrolls or goes on to multiple lines so you can see all of it

Nope, they fit, just needs some encouragement. They're not as easy to fit as the metal ones but it does work

I managed to fit the PFC plates in the plate holders in my 2021 (December 2020) refresh M3. Took a bit of wangling but it worked.

Genuine question, why are people wanting pieces of information like the regen bar to be larger? Personally it doesn't feel like it's critical for the safe use of the car so should probably be discrete and not a distraction.

Really surprised about that. Surely it would depending on your seating and steering wheel position? For instance I can see the speedo fine. Surely same could also be said for other cars too... If my seating and steering wheel are in a certain position then the steering wheel could potentially...
