You guys don't have the dashcam as a shortcut? This is an absolute must for me. The amount of sh!t I see on the roads in London I’m tapping it at least once every 2-3 drives - mind you, I never actually do anything with them! Though, yesterday as I was stopped at the lights, I saw some biker...

My turn to add to the annual (anal?) pain club: 2023 insurance: £1,319.19 2024 insurance: £1,561.73 An increase of 18.3% Admiral have "upgraded" me to their Gold Tier club without my asking. I have to contact them to stay on my current policy tier (sneaky f*cks) which I’m assuming will bring...

I was very surprised as well. But Like Jason71 mentioned, Autoglym along all the seals (I did all the doors as well) did the trick. I apply it every 2-3 months but probably doesn't need it that frequently. By the way, I did take it into the SC and they didn't / couldn't fix it.

Oh no worries, just look for the rubber.. err seals (not sure how else to describe it) that are on the car itself (not on boot lid). Not sure if that helps, but if not I can take some pictures next time I’m at my car.

Oh cheers for asking! Actually I just got the car back from the Tesla body shop yesterday lol. The lady was good about it once I reached out to via her company website. She called straight away and got her insurance involved and they sorted it out from there. Only few snags were that Tesla...

I must be getting old.. but I still still use my wing mirrors when parking. I judge distance to front bumper and front corners with my eye balls. I only use the backup camera for judging distance to the back bumper. I’ve even turned off all the bingbong sounds. Never crashed into anything. Why...

Not sure what the fuss is about with speed cameras, they’re so obvious here, especially as compared to my native NZ (where they’re all sneakily hidden)! What would be amazing is to have road closures, road works and accident information like Google and Waze have.

This whole thread... It should be called "So... who wants to come to the highland-road and crap down on anything and everything Tesla". Criticism is important. Delusional moaning not so much. ✌️

If all you did were read comments on here and you were to make a conclusion about how people behave on roundabouts, you'd assume that 100% of the people indicate 100% of the time. But alas, go into the real world and you will see that, no matter the make of car, or whether they have stalks or...

A lot of complaints about niggles on here.. now that I’ve just updated, what stands out to me is… they seem to have really upped the quality of music playback (on Spotify). I’m not sure exactly what they did but the balance seems to have improved massively. Before, often vocals were drowned out...

Thanking you! She hasn’t responded yet but because she was at the airport and had 3 MASSIVE suitcases, I’m assuming she’ll be away for a while. I will try to contact her via her website first to see if she acknowledges - but judging by the way she just looked at the chip, rubbed it, then walked...

Well, I found the lady online as it was a company car with her company logo and website fully visible. I also caught her littering. So yeah, I’m going to file a report and if she doesn't contact me out of her own goodness (she's an "alchemist in the natural world" so not sure how much goodness...

Thanks for the advice, I will see what I can do.

Yikes, finally got a door ding big enough to write home about. Seem plenty of people bump their doors into mine but thankfully not had any lasting mark, up until today. I parked my car at Stanstead for a week. And yes there’s always a risk parking there but for the most part people are sensible...

That’s good to know then, as it means mine mustn’t have been left open for longer than I thought. I must’ve accidentally clicked the button on the widget by accident and realised straight away.

I've done this before too. Car was in it's usual overnight spot in my communal garage so was semi safe I guess. But there's a few improvements Tesla could do: 1. Confirm boot open prompt if you're outside Bluetooth range. Would reduce the number accidental button pushes, especially with...

Well you stated that OTA updates don't make any improvements. I said there were some for me that have added up over time. You then asked which ones. To which they were answered by @MovingSouth (which are the ones I would have said plus a few other I can't be bothered to tell you). And then you...

So what? The point (and the answer to your question) is that the car software is making drivability or general user experience better. Other brands are catching up to Tesla in other aspects too - but that's beside the point because the specific question is whether Tesla's OTA software updates...

But I've had plenty of small improvements that have added up over time in just the past 9 months of owenership. Plus the native software and UX is still better than most competitors. I do wish they'd document the minor changes more because I'm sure they make plenty of "under the hood"...

.26 for me is only about the Spotify update. And if that's buggy, then I can certainly wait. I also hear it's not as good an update as first thought but we'll see. Regarding switching on the Lights. For me it couldn't be easier than "Car Button" > "Light Button" then swipe the menu down, with...

Wow, that's amazing if true! I wonder if other people will report similar results. (I never keep track of mine but may do from now.) Also, I saw some people report that the recommended charging limit has changed from 90 to 80 for those without LFP (or is it with LFP, I can never remember..)...

Any improvement to Spotify UI and on-start connectivity?

I spent hours looking for this creak, and even left my car with the service centre to fix this creak (they didn't), only to find the seals needed a little lubricant on them which I could've done myself in minutes... Get some Autoglym lubricant and wipe it on all the seals. I do all doors...

Is 20.8 the one with updated Spotify UI? If so, anyone care to share experience? I'm still on 20.7...

Ah silly me! Too eager it seems. I'll check back in 2 we... err, months then ;)

So? They wanted to comment on the document... is it that big a deal?

Anyone got a pic of the new look & feel of Spotify app? Does it finally allow song queuing and other standard features that we should've had years ago? Still waiting patiently for my update...

Yeah and I was speaking to a Model Y P owner the other day who had tried the improved LR suspension (from Q2 2022 onwards I believe?) and he said that the Performance was an improvement even on the LR version which apparently was many x times better than the first gen horrible suspension version...

Not got the most recent update yet (still on 20.4.1), but randomly got this come up as I got in the car (I had already driven to run my errand so this came up as I was heading home). Not sure if I turned the setting off at some point and it’s just a periodic reminder or related to the most...

Yup, it’s highly probable it’s my driving (I admit). And yes, I say douche sometimes, so at least one person.

Yeah I feel dumb for missing that setting 🙄

I don't know if this is due to the most recent update, but I've noticed that the car limits my power a lot more than normal in situations where it thinks I might be doing something "wrong". Like, this morning, I was going down a London street and - as is usual - you wait behind a parked car to...

Yes this took a long time to update for me too. I heard the update was around 4 gb's? Definitely more under the hood than minor updates! The Tesla App trip planner now has scheduled departure, which is also a nice addition. Remember to go in and update you app.

I see you're in London... where exactly did this happen so I can avoid that area!? For real though, gutted for you. Speaking of, I took the bracing off my front bumper and stuck it on with tape. It's starting to peel off now though so clearly I didn't do it right or used the wrong tape... what...

As others have said, it shifts into Park if you've been completely stationary on Hold for 15 mins or. If it went into Neutral then I'd imagine that was user input.

I had the same reaction! I even had the Tesla service guys look at the car for a whole day! I almost couldn’t believe the creaking was because of the darn seals! And yeah like you, I’ll just include in regular clean. It brought the pleasure of driving back for me.

I had the same issue, and concur with @Jason71. I used this one as posted here Model Y rear bench creaking Most of the constant creaking how now gone! (still get the odd small/minor rattles on certain surfaces from other parts of the car but they're few and far between, it was the creaking that...

Really? I do this all the time when exiting roundabouts... The indicators work well, not sure why everyone has a fuss about them.

Looks good! How did you take the emblem off and put them back on again? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the effort or not (for me).

I listen to loud music a lot of the time but not 100% of the time. Also, when I do listen to loud music, it rattles all the rattles (which I can hear with the music).... so it's a catch22 for me.

I think I have this one too. Can hear it when blasting bassy music too.

I took mine in for a service. They seemed to have fixed the issue at the back, but after a while of travelling on the rough terrains that are London streets, the creaking has come back again! I don't know what they did to temporarily fix the creak in the back back (the creaking that happens when...

Oh for sure re. rerouting. Traffic visualisations are for when I'm not plugging in a destination and just need to know to avoid certain clogged arteries. The other plus side is I'm getting Black Cab level knowledge of my local area! Re. battery - I actually thought it's because it's always...

Worth it for me. I don't have to bother with tethering my phone to get the same features, which means I don't need to upgrade my phone plan. Plus, tethering all the time puts a lot of pressure on my phone battery which is already degraded enough as it is. I like and prefer satellite view. I...

The only natural thing to do when you see another MY in the parking lot is to line it up for a photo op! I love the Y in all colours (so long as it has inductions or black rims in general) but for me personally; the MY in blue just hits that little bit different. (Taken in the winter, will...

Agree, I think it wouldn't be more than a couple of points of a kWh max. Most cars don't have rear DRLs bar a handful of makes. Only the odd BMW, Merc's I've seen them on and even then it depends on the model. Polestar's have a nice always on light bar at the rear which looks cool.

But then they'd base it on my safety score which I'm sure would drive up the premium even further... (and no i'm not driving into lamp posts ;)).

I renewed my insurance last month for £1,300 paid annually... Tried everywhere - it was all more expensive than that (some quoting ridiculous sums of £2.5K!). I can't explain why it's so expensive, but I just chalked it up to "it is what it (bloody) is".

Omg Tobes! That pains me to read and see that, but I’m glad that everyone is ok! Hopefully you can get it fixed to better than new and go back to enjoying the blue beast. Keep us posted on the progress.

Finally got the update. First thing I noticed was the boldened speed display. (Without using large font). It looks great. Scrubbing on music is also much easier now. That’s a plus! Overall looks like they’ve cleaned up some of the font and graphics. Enjoying the added functions of the left...
