You could always start another Vision base parking' thread. The title of this thread seems to be "UltraSonic Sensors removal/TV replacement performance". I would think it's fair to expect to find both subjects being discussed in this one.

But it didn't always detect the cone. Unless it's sophisticated logic and discretion had determined that it wasn't worth drawing or notifying the driver about at all when reversing. In it's current iteration it is deeply flawed. Not fit for purpose. I don't know how anyone can argue otherwise.

To me that's a classic case of over-egging the pudding, and having a pudding that tastes like crap because it's got too many eggs in it. For arguments sake (and not shooting the messenger), if someone is happy to pop the 'AP' (I still can't bring myself to call it an autopilot) with their view...

I came on for a rant about wipers myself, but thought I'd append it to this one. We had another motorway trip this morning. Settled into the drive and engaged the cruise and lane-keeping. Not for the first (or even the second or third) time since this latest update the wipers auto set...

I quite like these new ones 🤔 just wondering if they’re destined for new M3s.

Sorry if I missed this elsewhere… my car is rendered in the app now as having some nice new shiny wheels. I checked outside and it’s still got the super duper turbines, but the app is convinced they’ve changed.

No data connection here either. On a possibly related note the car is refusing to cycle the check for updates as well even when connected to WiFi. Last time was yesterday.

This happened to me a couple of days ago going on to 16.3, long pause at 50% which I left overnight and the update had vanished by morning. It returned yesterday with no problems updating. Service suggested they pulled the update mid download as the only version showing on their system...

Had that today for the first time also.

Very bad car connectivity with us too yesterday. Assumed an antennae was down somewhere, but will check again today.

Had one of my temp and humidity sensors replaced last week after reporting this error. Similarly ineffective automatic function misting up when it shouldn't, and I'm sure this was the cause of the car feeling like it wasn't cooling properly sometimes over the summer (despite a service visit at...

I have a slot there this week. Always have to book a couple weeks in advance, they always seem to be very busy. They've always been extremely helpful though, so worth the wait.

I know about the defrost option, and I'm now reverting to that manually. The question I was really getting at is, why doesn't a timed precondition automatically detect that the car might need defrosting and set defrost without my intervention. I'm sure it's done that in the past. Bottom line...

How is this system supposed to work now? Recently when I've set a precondition departure time, the car has warmed the cabin to the chosen temperature. That's fine, but I'm sure that previously when ambient temps were below a certain point it would automatically include defrosting options (max...

That's useful info thank you. Over the summer I reported inconsistent cabin temperature control, but they ran their tests at the service centre and reported no fault found. Although this issue from the other day appears to have cleared, I'm going to leave it on the service booking I've got...

I didn't think to tap on it for some reason. I tried pressing the brake pedal and putting the car into drive, but that didn't do much.

I've also had this recently, although I could manually turn on AC, but it seemed to refuse to come on in auto mode resulting in all windows misting up and having to pull over to sort it out. I then noticed in tiny tiny writing on the depiction of the screen within the HVAC screen the message...

Happened to me yesterday morning. I got "Car Unlocked" in giant letters on the screen on entry, and then it went blank. I just got out, got back in again and it was fine. Very strange.

Removing one click seat heating is nuts! Another example of Tesla's obsession with automating EVERYTHING, as I noticed there is now an option to allow the car to manage your heated seats for you. Just bonkers.

You're thinking of density.

I've tried to get them back under myself with various tools, but there's just not enough flex in the plastics for me to do it without fear of snapping or cracking something. I'll be taking it back to the PPF people to sort I think.

Haha, that's exactly what I needed to see, thank you!

My M3 recently came back from having a PPF coating applied to the front bumper. It was removed in order to do this. Having had it back I've since noticed two tabs riding above the black plastic under the grill, and I suspect these should be underneath because it just doesn't look right...

...when you turn off the cabin air conditioning? Some sort of pump or fan or something. Is that normal? I'm certain the last car didn't do it.

The epic journey to Brent Cross and back was made. The car was swapped for another identical car and we're back home. Except of course it's not an identical car. Doors and rear lights aren't quite as closely aligned, everything seems noisier (wind/fans/PWS(?!)), something to do with cabin...

I'm waiting for confirmation, but it looks like Tesla are going to ask me to drive down to Brent Cross today and do a straight swap (not sure how this works on paper). I'm a bit surprised they didn't offer me FSD or something which costs them nothing, but might bolster the perceived value of...

I have no intention of chasing DVLA for this. It's just not practical at this moment in time. I'm awaiting a reply from Tesla having told them that I intend to reject the car (I'm not entirely sure what that process involves). I guess they'll either try and persuade me to keep it with...

I could be wrong but I get the feeling what's happened is that the V5 arrived at another customer's door, and they contacted Tesla to ask why on earth they've received a new V5 for a different car. The email I received last night stated that Tesla have already had the V5 transferred to them (as...

I've been offered £90 to suck it up. I've said I'm rejecting the car. She was a good'n as well. Heartbroken.

That's very easy to say, but I still have to give a car up while I wait for a new one, hoping the new one won't be a lemon and then re-organise delivery/collection not to mention the insurance. The car was also due in Monday for some pain correction and PPF etc, so that's getting cancelled and...

I still seem to be the one with a headache though 😄

I think if Tesla could have sorted it without causing themselves this kind of headache they would have done so already. The DVLA as far as they've told me are flatly refusing to make an ownership correction, instead insisting on a change.

Nothing at all to do with registration under Glovebox on the account unfortunately. He stated explicitly that the DVLA would only now register the car to Tesla. I can't say I understand how or why, but he also stated that I would be the second owner. I need to get back onto them I think. I...

You certainly don't have to own a car to insure it, but you do have to tell the insurance company one way or the other. I obviously arranged to be insured on a vehicle that I stated I own. As a result, my insurance policy hasn't matched the actual circumstances. I think I'm just trying to...

Just doing a sanity check really, and trying to get my head around what I've just been told. Any advice welcome. Had a phone call from Tesla customer service to explain that the new M3P I collected on the 21st of this month was registered to a different customer. Tesla made a request to the...

Today's M3P collection from Brent Cross all went fine with just a few niggles. Blinked for a moment and missed the handover (I actually have no problem with that at all). Was disappointed with a scratched up looking B pillar below the camera until I realised they'd just forgotten to take the...

Collecting tomorrow.

So these cars delivered/collected so far do or do not have passenger lumber adjustment? I've seen reports of both.

Just wishing the thread a happy 100th page! The end is nigh.

I had my SQ7 done at Pure Detail. I would say overall a positive experience. I'm going to pipe up for ceramic coatings as well though. I had that car for nearly three years with the Gtechniq stuff applied and on it's last wash before I handed it over to the new owners the water was streaming...

21st - MS with Black inside.

Just rewound the port camera to watch it sail by in the early hours. I'm allowing a small amount of excitement to creep in now.

Had my final invoice just over a week ago, all paid up. Received a text this evening with VIN, reg and confirmation that payment was received in full. Nothing left to do now but wait!

Well, I don't have a reg or anything yet but they did just ask me for some money. Curiously the Final Invoice has a different scheduled delivery date to the one I selected a couple of weeks ago. Need to check that.

It really doesn't. Just makes the arch gap look even bigger from most angles. I'll be sorely tempted to change to a slightly wider profile as soon as possible. I had an Audi SQ7 before this and the M3P arch gaps look similar to that in it's 'comfort' setting, which is just bizarre to me.

Is that the same battery that these MIC cars are coming with?

Just reminded me how nuts the ride height looks for a 'performance' variant. Significant difference from any of the depictions of the car on the Tesla site.

If you give any weight to this Tesla tech guys insight then it may be quite a while before Tesla get their sh*t together. Plot twist: New battery isn't fit for purpose? It does worry me.

I know this has been discussed before, but a recent post on the "Performance not performing" post has got me concerned again. It alludes to the problem being difficult to fix, if at all possible due to the fundamental nature of the '21 P battery. Just looking for some second opinions as an...

Texts received this afternoon. Delivery scheduled for June 21st at Brent Cross.
