I'd put the wipers issue down to the Moving Pictures produced by The Camera Eye and being in a Rush,. Geddy.

You *can* touch the phone's screen while driving without breaking the law, as long as you retain proper control of the car- similar to using the car's touchscreen. You can't hold it in your hand to do so, though. https://www.gov.uk/using-mobile-phones-when-driving-the-law

It's interesting - this works for me, but only 50% of the time. The other 50% I get silence, although I can browse the USB drive and initiate playback manually. Then, the next time I strive the car, it'll work as expected. Drives me mad.

Had the same experience this week - logged a service call on the app on Wednesday, no reply since, appears stuck at "prep" stage. I chased up a response on the app, still nothing. I fixed the issue myself (the boot was misaligned and leaking after an earlier repair), so I asked Tesla to cancel...

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago, during a drive. Started out OK from home, then the details disappeared part way until I got close to home again. I presumed it was a Google / Tesla satnav data routing problem, but who knows. Hasn't happened since and I didn't notice any issues today...

I had this last night. Three goes all failed. However, it was OK again just a moment ago, after driving 6 miles or so earlier. Transitory issue?

Last year, when there was a discrepancy between the delivered charge power displayed on the touchscreen and in the app, I'd see a difference of 12kW on a charger that was delivering 48kW while heating the battery. Pretty sure the touchscreen was showing the total power drawn, and the app was...

I'll report back on my experience when I eventually get my car back.

Did you receive instructions on PIN use before collection? I still haven't got my car back, almost 2 weeks later (hopefully omorrow), so I haven't received anything yet. I wondered if there was a std text.

slapsforehead emoji. I guess panic set in! Ikr? Or put a 5G / Tesla chip into each customer so that a beeping noise in the brain tells you when you're getting close. Still waiting to get my car back, after droppping off on Tuesday. Dunno why the apparent worldwide rubber grommet shortage...

Oh God. With my luck, I'll have this to deal with too. The loaner does seem to have had a tough life, judging by the rattles, squeaks and general looseness it exhibits.

My M3 developed a leaky trunk so I booked it into the Glasgow SC. On leaving to go there, the car reported one tyre with slightly low pressure. I decided to keep going as the SC is only 5 miles away and I'd inflate the tyre at the other end, rather than on the road. I pulled up around 200m from...

I've had the same problem, 2921 M3LR. Going into the Glasgow SC next week. I'm hoping it's just a seal - it started leaking after a recent spell of freezing weather.

"Sorry, all within spec, Sir."

My dear departed father used to knock on the inside of the windscreen when someone wandered in front of him driving the car. Not sure how effective that was...

Churchill quoted £601, up from £508 last year for M3LR 2021 model. Eventually, I went with Privilege for £505, with 10k miles compared to previous 8k. Glasgow suburb, 59yo, max NCB.

I had this happen today, first drive after receiving 40.4.1 yesterday. After reading the release notes, I enabled the door unlock feature and drove the car. All was OK at my first return to the parked car - phone key worked - but after a 2nd drive and subseequent park, the car wouldn't open with...

I've noted this since the 36.5 update that introduced the new energy usage graphical display. Not sure if the update changed anything else related, but I've had drops of 3, 4 and 5% between parking up late morning and driving again next morning. And, 2 nights ago, a reported *increase* of 1%...

Sorry to hear about your prang. Bad enough with an older car but for a new one, you must be gutted. I've used Mitchell Inglis a couple of times for relatively minor repairs- nothing involving major strip downs - one was a new wing, the other a new lower valence. On both occasions the quality of...

I haven't had it happen since .7 was installed. It would definitely have stopped and beeped by now. I'm calling it...

Taking ages here too. Stuck at 50% for 30 mins so far, not downloading anything during that time, presume it's unzipping and compiling the image. You can't accuse Tesla of consistency, that's for sure.

I had exactly this happen for the first time last week and, like you, it wouldn't reconnect until a scrollwheel reset fixed it. It hasn't recurred, though I have noticed it now takes a variable amount of time to connect to my WiFi when I return home - from a few seconds to a couple of minutes...

I use CPS chargers in the North Lanarkshire Council area. The Council still doesn't levy charges for use (which is hugely welcome, obv). I've noticed that the maximum charge offered by several different models of 50kW chargers in the area reduced a few months ago, from an indicated 49kW to...

Downloading the nav update now, at a useful 2.3MB/s. No sign of 2022.16 though.

Can also recommend Mitchell Inglis. I've had a couple of repairs carried out there over the last few years and the standard of finish was exemplary. Not the cheapest, but there is value in knowing they've done a proper job.

Tesla tech gave me this voice command to switch audio source to USB and it works the same as the "USB" command did before they broke it. "Change audio source to USB" Incidentally, I'm told that "Switch to USB" should also work but I haven't tried it yet. It seems Tesla wants us to use more...

OK, this instruction fixed the problem I was having with the dashcam. But the "USB" command still doesn't work. Tesla suggested this instead "Change audio source to USB" That works for me exactly the same as the "USB" command previously did. Voice commands aren't interpreted by the car...

Confirmed with Tesla tech that it's necessary to create a *folder* called "TeslaCam" on the drive after formatting, not a *file*.

OK, so I got the feedback and repair instructions below from Tesla tech here in the UK. Haven't tried it yet, so usual at your own risk warnings if you have a go - I'll do it when I get home later. Hi Paul, my name is xxxx and I am the remote diagnostic technician looking into your USB concern...

I've had exactly this over the last couple of days. Same firmware fersion. No recent updates. Very annoying given the generally flaky behaviour of the USB media app.

That did occur to me, but the feedback I got wasn't detailed enough to confirm one way or another. The car was updated to the newest public version before going in, and it reported the same version afterward. I suppose the update might have been a patch to the lighting operation part of last the...

My dashcam has been reporting no clips to view for the last few days, so I presume this is the main symptom of the USB memoryfault. Marvellous.

I had similar happen in Feb. December 2020 refresh LR. The DRL was OK, indicator too, but the headlight and main beam functions were dead. Tried reset, leaving overnight etc. I raised a service request and had the faulty headlight unit replaced at the Glasgow SC under warranty. There was a...

I had failure of the driver's side headlight, intermittently wouldn't light up. The DRL was ok, indicator and fog too. I only noticed it when parking close to a wall and could see one side was dark - no indication was given on the touchscreen or alert. Seems like there's a fault detection...

I find the "USB" voice command to be hit and miss, sadly. It always switches source ok but often (maybe half the time?) doesn't resume playback, leaving silence until i manually select USB, when I'm back to having to select from the top level on the drive. I have the USB icon as a shortcut and...

264Wh/mile. Dec 2020 LR, so around 17 months and 8,400 miles. Consumption is improving now the weather is warmer, currently 225Wh/mile since the last charge.

I haven't done that recently, but I'll certainly bear it in mind. Still no failures to open fully since the update, over maybe a dozen operations since Friday. It happened just about every day before that. I'm tempted to go out and run the light show to see how it behaves.

Can't absolutely confirm this yet, but I haven't had a boot opening failure since this update landed on Friday. Pretty sure it'd have happened by now, although temperatures here have been up since then.

Yep, the steering is definitely noticeably lighter. I'm quite liking it, though i haven’t done any spirited driving (officer..). What are the chances it'll be tweaked back at the next update..

Could be, though it wasn't particularly warm when I had my first drive today. Didn't check pressures today. I'll set the alarm for 2am and report back...

Updated to 2022.12.3.1 this morning. is it just me, or does the steering feel lighter with less resistance after this update? I've had 4 short journeys since the update and I've noticed this each time so I don't think its my imagination. Steering settings are unchanged.

I have the same version of the app on two Android devices, phone and tablet. I never use the tablet to manage the car, but that's where the software update notifications etc go, never on the phone. This has swapped around at some point but, short of uninstalling on the tablet thereby hopefully...

I had it fail to open more than a few inches during two runs of the light show. I pretended not to notice to avoid explaining it to the kids I was attempting to impress...

Log it as a service call, the date doesn't matter because they'll contact you directly to discuss it. My experience was they asked me to give them an exact time and date of an occurrence - didn't take long for that to happen. They'll check the car logs remotely and confirm whether it's firmware...

My replacement power strut, fitted in January, lasted less than 2 months before exhibiting the same issues. The Tesla tech told me directly that they're viewing it as a software / sensor / data interpretation issue that will be addressed in a "future firmware update". He didn't know if that was...

I had his problem, and I think it's related to being out of storage space on the media system. Not sure how much is reserved for TIDAL - I have about 40 albums diwnloaded - but deleting individual albums stopped the problem.

The battery was only partially warmed up. I'd driven about 10 miles. The battery was cold at the start.

Thanks, interesting. If I'm going to be sitting in the car while it's charging, I generally switch the HVAC off because I fondly imagine the car will charge faster as a result. Frozen tootsies be damned. it was switched off when I took the images. I'll try to capture a video next charge and...

It increased once the battery warmed up, but the discrepamcy was consistent. Weird.

No, this was at Chryston (the Pivot Centre if you know the area). That charger has been a bit flaky too but this issue has been apparent at Drumpellier and at Robroyston chargers.
