I imagine once FSD Beta v11 ('full stack') release is bug fixed it won't be more than 6 months before that becomes the entire fleet globally. Maintenance costs and risks in keeping two code bases doing the same job is just too high, before even considering how us users feel about it. The...

I don't think that's the case. From what I recall, Elon approaches it more in the sense of how capable the car is. The current version hardware might be learner driver level, or just about scrape a pass in your test level if Elon is lucky. And newer hardware (HW4, or any new camera...

So is Andrej Karpathy a Steve Jobs in Tesla AI or just another geeza, even if a Wozniak, who is replaceable part of the team? From what the limited that I've seen. Karpathy is quite the academic and research driven guy, and if so I imagine a commercial setting to be draining. I hope that...

Interesting, I'd seen this several months ago and who knows how long it'd been up before that. Perhaps they're on continual recruitment or have a big team to build. I imagine it's a very difficult role to get the right fit for.

If it doesn't clear for a month and gets more significant build up of water then raise a service call. They will replace if needed. I had a mobile service come to mine when it wouldn't clear after a while. But some condensation should go on it's own after a while. If you're concerned as it's a...

Rudding Park isn't the SC location for Harrogate is it? New test drive event just popped up there Test drive Model 3 or Model Y in Harrogate - next Friday 4th March. "Experience our latest Autopilot features on your local roads, visit a Supercharger to learn how to charge on the go or enjoy...

With such a high rate of new cars coming in I can foresee increasing discussion on site upgrades alongside the new sites. Probably need for a measure or heat map based on the number of tombstones, or cumulative max charge rate to account for v2/3 difference. Would be good to supply Vs demand...

Great coverage tomahhunt, thanks! I don't even have a Y on order and this is exciting!

When I picked up my M3 14 months ago there was a few days to extend into if you needed to. It shouldn't be a 'take it or leave it' date and a little bit of flexibility provided. They just can't have cars hanging around clogging the place up and lowering their delivery throughput. I'm sure you'd...

Cold weather improvements, at least! Probably more heat pump fixes.

Following the car update the other day, and another app update today, I tried all this again. Still not working for me either. My wife's phone, the older app version, it works fine. I'm thinking the next step is with getting an email to the app developers, somehow. To hazard a guess, I imagine...

Yeah I've had the basic summon issue recently. Just want to nudge the car forwards away from the garage door, lights on, brake off, pause to think, give up, brake on.. Basic summon is quite reliable I find if you're standing anywhere around the car. Use it quite a lot for convenience...

Wow. I flip flop trying to cancel the indicator all the time, manual knowledge to the rescue!

I get this regularly on three motorway when in the left lane going past the off ramp with navigate on autopilot on. Just a few blinks. Seems exactly like the car indicating that it's not leaving the motorway, which is silly and annoying for everyone involved.

This is it right. Prescribing exact behaviours doesn't fit all scenarios and, in my opinion, is why our driving tests are based around proof of control of the vehicle and understanding of rules and dangers. If everything we're predicable and followed the exact uniform behaviour then it might...

Interesting specifics on the regulation. The timings, and regs in general, have always seemed plausible but not ideal. I can see the human rational in them at least. I just have a general disagreement with the approach of 'do exactly this', trying to prescribe an approach suitable for every...

Definitely will not see the FSD beta button here for a long time still. Localisation was asked about during AI Day and they were very clear that they want to get the US done first before looking to other countries. I don't know UK market size, but I doubt it is that appealing to be early...

Wow. If only I could get work colleagues to reply that fast! Thanks guys, much appreciated. Will be going with the first that came in.

Would much appreciate anyone PMing me a referral code ☺️

I've experienced this issue also over the past day or so and assumed it was app update related, just wish they'd hurry up and release v4 officially to all Android users. The rollout systems for Android on Google play are very different to Apple. There's a vastly bigger variance in handsets...

I agree with Tony there, services needs a refurb. But the chargers are great, never experienced anything close to busy at them, and no problems either. Have used various positioned stalls there and don't recall any significant speed differences, be interesting to hear of others have.

I'd be a big fan of chill mode applying to how autopilot moves. It brakes hard and late, and accelerates too rapidly for my liking. They could make it like a first class chauffeur so I can comfortably drink a cup of tea (while limited to 37mph in a motorway traffic jam next year 🤪) I'm hopeful...

+1 for checking the settings. And know the settings for the features you're interested in. The manuals are easily googled. You don't want to waste time in your test drive searching the menus!

Maybe that's the real thing on trial.. testing switch on / switch off functionality in preparation for subscription services. You wouldn't want people subscribing for a month with a 50/50 chance of it sticking around for longer. A bug report that no one would ever submit!

This guy is really good at explaining the details on UNECE - https://youtube.com/c/StevenPeeters . I expect any updates to the regulation will end up being explained by him quite quickly. I think it's unlikely the UK will drop out of select parts of the UNECE, but you never know...

There are various emails in the sticky thread for UK contact info Wiki - Useful local UK contact information - I mailed customer services for UK & Ireland

Just got a response from customer services.. "Please be aware our trials have a second roll out due tomorrow" So hopefully those of us who have missed out so far will get it tomorrow. Customer services seem engaged to sort through, so if nothing then I'd contact them next week. I'm...

This is probably the only thing that gives me any hope of UK pushing forwards in this area. One man on a mission to make the most of his big toy. Haha Whatever happens after this autonomous vehicle consultation thing in March. You can be sure it'll take a while before we see any benefit in our...

Had a similar problem of randomly stopping charging, but in a different situation. Now think I found a workaround of sorts today.... Tldr; lowered to 25Amp and got a stable charge. The story; My parking space is in a gated area and 1 old style 7kw Pod Point for everyone, it's private but...

I also charged to full today, few weeks new M3LR 2021, came out as 330 miles. Trying to get used to not paying attention to mileage, and looking at percentage and weather conditions as the indicator. It's a new world!

Precisely what I did and it worked out for the first shipment of the quarter. Hope it does for you too!

Got confirmation that the parts, I assume just total replacement, for the left side rear repeater (rear facing passenger side camera) have arrived today at Dartford SC. So hopefully no one picking up from next week will have the problem!

I haven't looked in detail yet actually. I asked customer services before e taking delivery about the added protection and they emailed saying "You Model 3 will come with mud guards to the rear. You will also find extensions within your boot. These can be added should you want more protection."

Priceless advice. Thanks!

So delivery day. My head really hurts now from trying to put into practice all the stuff you read about. Did a serious inspection before driving away, everything as expected... had to ask for the mudflap extensions but they wasted no time in getting some. TPMS was warning on all 4 tyres until...

oh no! Sorry to hear this. If it makes it any better I just took delivery from Dartford and they were really nice, loads of cars around but it didn't feel busy with people.

Interesting, I had the same call! On mine it is the reverse repeater that is faulty. New 2021 stock of that part is coming in next week she assured me so will need to get it fixed then. Perhaps this is a common issue but normally the service centres have the parts to resolve before delivery...

Birmingham seems to be the place for earlier pickups! Lucky chaps. Finalised everything today and 'had the call' about it being contactless delivery. Asked about earlier delivery slots, no luck. So Dartford on Tuesday for me... going to be a long weekend.

Wow that's the earliest I've seen I think! Where are you collecting from? I rang up today to give the nudge on the final invoice so I can pay. Got the reg number sent at the same time, she said the reg number should be auto-SMSed 7 days before (I collect next Tuesday). I was unclear on the...

I ordered on Sept 6 expecting 5-10 weeks wait, and then was matched basically straight away but couldn't take it that fast. Asked them to hold until October, that they did. Now due to pickup next week. So holds are still a thing. I remember reading some saying that when your hold is released...

Southampton arrival schedule has been updated to have RCC ANTWERP arriving at 14:30 on the 13th now.

I like honesty of being to lazy to read back through the pages! General consensus is that allocation happens after leaving pier 80, not before. How much after is a totally different question and depends on a shed load of different factors that nobody has figured out. I'd recommend ringing up...

Haha oh dear! Is the ship/shipping company responsible for insurance claim? The clean up job must be pretty hefty too that I guess can cause frantic work at the ports situations... And again more claims on insurance? Or are these just the cost of business?

Thanks for this. I've also been looking and waiting for a real video. Might do a round up myself if I get delivery early.

A lot in inventory though. I wonder if this custom order updated reflects the final UK bound SR+s for the quarter are out of the factories. No more building until next year

Got the text too and arranged pickup; Ordered 6th Sept, M3LR Blue Got VIN last week on the phone. Still not showing in the source of the reservation page, despite the delivery appointment being there now. Delivery scheduled 24th Nov, Dartford - Was the earliest available. Might keep an eye on...

Interesting to hear the message that the vin could change. I specifically asked about this when ringing to get my vin. They said it's only going to change if the vehicle is damaged in transit / there's something wrong with it when it arrives. I hope that this doesn't happen that often!

Mythbusters is a show that needs to make a return, there's a lot of the world that needs busting right now! I don't know if I've totally busted the hidden VIN myth... For me yes, but I wonder if that's my antics in september. I ordered on the 6th, with a 5-10 week estimated delivery, and was...

I'd be interested to know this too! I called up and got my VIN but it doesn't show when searching the source code of my reservation page. I have doubts that it'll show up there until delivery tbh

Few more additions showing in inventory this morning from the last time I looked. Some M3LR'21 models, as I know there was speculation over LR not being on the first ship, they will be there. Interesting to see some of the slightly discounted ex-showroom cars popping up, don't seem to last for...
