    Matrix headlights - finally???

    no it was the adaptive light because the beams followed the car coming my way. it was very wild.. wish I had captured it. might check the dash cam recordings.

    Matrix headlights - finally???

    my dipped beams look a bit different but very misaligned. adaptive long beams are a mess and while you saw the headlights blanking out oncoming traffic I saw the opposite, blanking out AROUND the cars and shining the lights directly onto the cars. WTF moment if you ask me...

    New Highland UK - stalks

    I suppose you are right but people do change their mind. I was very sceptical about the indicator buttons until I tried them on my 22 M3LR with sexy buttons and thought it was perfectly fine. Haven't figured out about the gear change in highland yet though. If it bothers me too much when it...

    No private podcasts in Apple Podcasts app?

    thanks. but who makes these apps? Tesla or Apple? I suspect that Apple provides an API and Tesla implements it?

    No private podcasts in Apple Podcasts app?

    no actually it works very well for me and I was so impressed when I discovered this worked. I was at the gym listening to a podcast then jumped on my car and it was playing the right spot in the long podcast.

    2023 Holiday Update

    I don't know about before because I purchased my tesla model 3 Aug 2022, but last year's Xmas update came in very early December - i know beacuse I had planned a short trip to Belgium and was well chaffed to have Apple Music for my first road trip abroad.

    2023 Holiday Update

    Sure, you can do that - but it's also important to have fun and disconnect from work. Fixing bugs is *their job* so I wouldn't consider fixing it as something that would result in an extraordinary bonus. By all definitions Tesla is quite a successful business, probably despite Musk's attempts...

    2023 Holiday Update

    IMO- Light show is probably something the developers do for fun. I can totally see an internal competition where they can use their own free time to develop light shows. Then whoever wins worldwide gets an extra bonus or something. So things like light shows or farts doesn't really detract time...

    Auto Wipers Triggered by Specific Types of Street Lights

    So… Highland is out…

    With regards to the indicator buttons, lack of stalks, and UK roundabouts - I saw this last night. With the highland model 3 Tesla has increased the steering ratio so now compared to the "old/current" model 3, you need to turn the wheel even further in roundabouts which will compound the...

    So… Highland is out…

    Musk is being such a downer for Tesla itself - he can't manage such a potentially large corporation and it is time for the grown ups to take over. He can't keep any promises with Tesla or Twitter, which he turned into a cesspit of misinformation racism and abuse, imagine entrusting him the...

    Tesla SC messed up with my headlights

    So I took my 2022 model 3 to a service centre for an unrelated issue and asked them to adjust the headlights as i could barely see any illumination on my right hand side (eg narrow country lanes). This was an issue when driving in Europe. The SC did something funky where now the two “humps” in...

    At a loss with Tesla SC ignoring issues with A/C

    Thanks! But as in commonly occurring fault or normal behaviour? I have had 4-5 loaners since owning the car, have rented 4 model 3s, 1 model y, and I've never heard it. I'll check properly when I get the car back, I want to know how often the air goes the wrong way, I don't want to book another...

    At a loss with Tesla SC ignoring issues with A/C

    So... I'm at a loss with Tesla service centres right now. First of all: I don't feel the A/C vents in my car are at all working as they should since I purchased my car. This is based on experience driving other model 3 and model Y cars (I've driven many by now). I have two re-occurring...

    UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations

    Good decision. In my case it took so long because Shanghai was in lockdown. I ordered in Feb and got the car in August - it doesn’t usually take this long

    So… Highland is out…

    I was just watching a youtube video and saw a recording inside the Tesla Semi cabin. The wheel has stalks for indicators and gear selection - of course as it's SAFER. Come on just make it optional and see what the numbers say. Make a "Elon version" $2,000 more expensive with yoke and no stalks. LOL

    Tesla Premium Connectivity - Is it really wort it ?

    issue with TuneIn is that with each passing year they have fewer and fewer stations. BBC announces they will soon come off air on tunein radio when you listen to them on that platform. it's a shame but I'm not sure who's at fault here

    Tesla Premium Connectivity - Is it really wort it ?

    I hate it when I rent a Tesla and it has no premium connectivity. So for me it's valuable. £120 a year for a 50K isn't a big deal in my opinion. Plus I really enjoy Spotify in my tesla (never use it otherwise so I use the car's account)

    M3 Refresh - Are Indicator buttons really poor design?

    you can easily test it yourself by buying S3XY buttons. They work fine to make simpler turns such as junctions etc like most American roads. Roundabouts work mostly fine if you do NOT indicate upon entering one and just right before exiting. However this is not the legal code. Some bigger...

No such screen in the Model 3 and it looks...

    Hi Chris - came to this post thanks you your comment on my post. My car is a M3LR MIC received Aug 2022 - so a fair bit after yours... pretty sure it's the same issue. I have also noticed that in the last few months the car was taking considerably longer to blow cold air. I thought it could have...

    Sanity check model 3 vents

    so according to Tesla there's nothing wrong with my vents. He blamed it on the steering wheel being on the way - which is funny seeing as I checked a Model Y (LHD, in Germany) and the flow was perfect. Can't believe this is a RHD design defect? I think I'll ask a mate of mine with a M3 to check...

    Sanity check model 3 vents

    so I put this up last March and hte situation seems worse now - so much so that I'm taking it to a SC. I just spent a few days with a rented Model Y in germany and I was blown away by how well the vents worked in that car - so obviously something is off with mine. Not crazy :)

    Premium Connectivity and Spotify is a joke

    it's a subtle difference that carriers like to hide. Until relatively recently Stansted Airport was completely dead, full signals but no connectivity. It went on for years. All carriers, useless phones. It drove me crazy at a time in my family life when I was doing lots of weekends commute to...

    Premium Connectivity and Spotify is a joke

    I find that rebooting the MCU 99% of the times fixes the problem. I suspect it's down to the carrier choice. O2 is nefarious when it comes to phantom mobile signal. But ultimately this is what often happens with mobiles too: if you are in a busy area, say a stadium, chances are your phone will...

    Have you lost faith in Tesla?

    Roads in the US are very different. All that training being done there will hardly apply in Europe. We'll need many years to get FSD up to working order in most if not all European countries.
