Well, I quite liked the comment from @Battpower that stated FSD b - now just add the S for Supervised and you get FSD BS - and I think that's at long last an accurate statement.

Cyberpisser will appeal to certain types, no one is going to buy it because its a good truck are they? - The loading area is a bit of a joke and the Venetian blind makes it look like a bread bin. Those attracted to this Tesla Delorean are the look at me types, the big heads, the more money than...

It was a foundation edition owner that has put a video on youtube - he is selling his, only had it a couple of months, so many of the features and equipment the foundation edition is supposed to have was missing, the wheel trims and the FSD autopilot, has cut his legs opening a door, he has the...

Why do you think a new version is needed, is it because sales are nowhere near target, values are plunging, riddled with faults, so many injuries being sustained, range is well below par, trucks being delivered without features promised? Loved Tesla solution to the throttle pedal falling off -...

Of course its sneaky - and Tesla have form for this. They could say 50K free miles - and it creates a sort of value in purchasers minds - but it isn't real is it? If they wanted to be fair they could of course not put a time limit on it - and that would be fair. 15000 miles after all isn't a...

I did try to persuade her to look at something other than Range Rover - but she was having none of it. Prior to the Velar I had sourced an Evoque 3 years earlier - she adored it, This wasn't new and repairs - well she just brings her cars back to me. I swapped out three of the door lock modules...

Your absolutely right I haven't recently discovered the cheap build quality, the penny pinching, the absolute dishonesty of Tesla and the promises of fixing things "soon" that just never get fixed - and if you look back at some of my posts over a year ago I said I wouldn't buy another Tesla...

It looks to me that the crash bar has taken the hit and perhaps its just a new bumper, paint and a crash bar replacement, bit of a blow in on the front edge of the bonnet - but that doesn't look deformed either.

The new M3P. Well at £60K and specked with white interior and FSD and red paint its a £70K car. Given parts availability is poor, extended repair times, the ease in which cars are written off and the residuals I cant see any waiting time for those that must have one. The days of being able to...

Shame you don't like the Chrome, I've added a few bits to my car but nothing that makes it look different externally, I added the bits I really wanted to have to improve functionality or convenience - well except for the interior - just wanted as much white as i could. Centre console tray...

I'm with you on the car adverts. In the adverts they always have people driving with a massive smile on their face all the time - now when have you seen anyone driving with anything but a doleful face? Nobody smiles. In the adverts they show young people, Cheshire cat face's, and all seats...

To be honest I think Tesla should change their philosophy and get back to making the best cars they can. Whilst a few years ago their best was at times a variable standard with paint and panel gap issues you have to appreciate just what Tesla had achieved in a short time making a truly long...

My steam powered processor on my ancient 2020 is managing to keep up stunningly well displaying everything I want displayed as i drive. Its a car, It shows a map, my speed and state of charge. Its maybe that i don't make any other demands of it - so the Atom is fine. My car has never had any...

I just had to resurrect this thread again. My Insurance is due for renewal mid to late June. M3P - currently with LV. Received an email from them 2 days ago - telling me they are about to send me my renewal price - plus lots of blurb about the number of claims and overall cost increases - a...

Could your son get "driving other vehicles" on his own insurance - even for a temporary period and of course it would be limited to third party but with you in the car anyway its like supervised - and gives you a break.

Its about time Tesla /Musk got a bloody nose, Musk is toxic and perhaps the way he treats his customers is now being reflected in sales. When Tesla had no competition Musk just did whatever came into his head - and there were no consequences, From trying to produce the most comprehensive - and...

I'm rather surprised that even people that bought Tesla, and no doubt did a bit of research prior to taking the plunge seem to have concerns of impending doom and a strong belief in the myths surrounding EVs, in particular premature failure of the battery. 100,000 or 120,000 miles / 8 years...

I am bewildered when i read comments like this, an assumption that seems senseless, no evidence, but a car that has low miles creates a fear the battery may be destroyed. I just can see the link or the rational behind that logic As for cooking the battery, Ill say it slow and loud - IF THE...

All supercharger staff have been re-engaged. WTF is going on?

I know in the past Tesla changed something major in 2020 and it totally stopped Hansshow's aftermarket boot kits from working and Hansshow released a whole update for everyone. Since then we just get these foibles whereby an update changes something but doesn't stop it working - you just adapt...

@Adopado , Thanks for confirming that. I think the reason I haven't seen the new vertical bar is because i have the screen swivel, the screen is maybe 2 inches lower than stock and angled towards me - so the steering column shroud completely blocks the view of the far right of the screen...

Thanks, I will have look at that. was it the update today that changed it?

I've only just noticed - The energy bar that was above the graphic of the car on screen - the one that changed from black - consumption to green - recovery has disappeared. 14.6 downloaded and installed today - has it gone with that or have i just not noticed until today? I did quite like that...

We all have different needs and preferences, budgets and aversions - so which is the right car only you can decide. If you don't like the chrome then exclude completely the up to 2020 models and look for a late 2020 or set 21 plate as a must have - that way you are removing from consideration...

You will find as Tesla releases updates it will change something quite minor with the powered boot operation - now when i say minor I mean - after an update i may find the boot lid will not close using the app - but it does respond OK to the boot close button and the onscreen graphic - then...

FSD will have a value when it comes to selling - but only to someone that hasn't done any research or never previously had a Tesla or an Elon Musk/Tesla fanboy that have eternal hope. Knowing just how useless FSD is I wouldn't pay a single penny more for a car than the going rate for the...

Hansshow's kit is good, always seems to produce little foibles on installation and when you contact them they always indicate its the first time they have had the issue you describe. I fitted mine 2 years ago, I did take the bumper off - which really is easy to do, On the nearside I drilled a...

For anyone that has seen it in the flesh - did it remind you of the pub Urinal?

I see both sides, EVs don't have a propensity to self ignite - but they can, ICE doesn't often self ignite - but they can - the issue is IF an EV spontaneously combusts it burns at such a temperature that it affects the structural integrity of the building or car park its in and the radiated...

The Chrome is just a cover - its stuck on, if your careful you should be able to peel it off and put on to a new camera. If the light bleed from the indicators are what your trying to get rid of then there is a modification you can do - as far as i was aware Tesla will not replace a camera...

I stand corrected, Thank you very much, genuinely didn't know that.

The Cybertrough is also steer by wire - no mechanical direct connection - and not allowed in the UK. However, The truck is a Lemon, an abomination of complete shite - its not useful as a car nor a truck - just a silly looking but suitable for those types that like to draw attention to...

I was reading a news article just yesterday, it reported the insurance industry has been asked to play fair on annual premiums after an average 25% rise last year, the article also commented on some companies who are charging up to 30% more to allow people to pay monthly and they have been asked...

I like this thread, some people have had some very very nice cars and some have had an awful lot of nice cars, was particularly nice to see some pictures too, must say @Oxid8ter I like the way you keep your cars. Of course, we are all nuts spending so much on cars and suffer the costs of running...

I understand what your saying, however, until October last year my bills have always matched my spreadsheet (from many different energy companies) - so something has changed they haven't informed me of. I know nothing of a shortened or precision tariff rate - indeed, first time I've heard the...

Octopus use 5 decimal places to calculate - ie the 1.02264 - plus calorific and divide 3.6 - and they are spot on. The bill is printed with the KWHrs used and the price per KWhr and I have rounded up - see below- 171 units on my meter 171 x 1.02264 = 174.87144 174.87144 x 39.6 (the announced...

I only use the Granny at home, but I'm retired and my mileage is low, the 13 amp socket fits perfectly well for my needs and at just a tad over 2Kwhr draw that would never be able to be detected if I was charging the car to be able to differentiate the VAT rates, plus I rarely charge the car...

The lost fuel duty recovery plan is already underway - its called smart meters and Smart EV chargers, A little play with the code and every Kwhr that goes into an EV will be charged 20% VAT rather than the domestic 5%, plus I suspect an additional charge as a new "fuel Duty" can be levied...

Well everything comes around in circles. The Fire Brigade over the last 40 odd years have had a lot less to do, homes no longer heated with coal, candles are pretty much a thing of the past, all bulbs are low voltage LED, home appliances are much safer and all monitored with RCDs, smoking has...

Only request I would have is that the very first Nuke hits the houses of parliament on a Wednesday around noon - and bask in the glory of seeing them F*****d before me.

I really think @PITA is on the money with his analysis. I think by 2035 Tesla wont be in existence or its limping along supported by another company keeping the Tesla name - like Jaguar Land Rover has done for the last 30 years or so.

I've seen video of v12 in the USA with FSD - impressive. The video posted here of Xiaomi is also remarkable. I know in the UK we are a bit behind and I really don't expect to ever have the degree of autonomy I see in these videos - not ever, but, my car cant travel a single mile on a quiet...

The only tapping Tesla will do auto parking is tapping the cars your trying to park between, It sounds like a cut down version of Electric Jesus claim you get out your car, tell it to park and off it trots to find a space somewhere. If Musk says it you know its a lie.

I retired in 2011 at almost 56, now 68, My M3P reached 4 years old on the 17th this month, like us all - we have lost a fair bit in depreciation - but only if you sell it. If the car is good why worry about what ifs? Warranty isn't the be all and end all - you still have all the protections of...

Oh I agree with you, Its mainly just because I can, It takes maybe 20 odd seconds for the car to respond to holding the forward arrow, My watch - all i need to do to launch Siri is double clench my fist - then speak the command. Its a case of simple things simple minds.

My use of Summon. Whenever i go shopping i tend to always find a parking spot on the perimeter of the car park and a space where another car could only park to one side of mine - so an end spot. I always reverse into any parking spot - just something I have always done. Perimeters tend to have...

So, after taxing my car a week or so ago with the reminder I decided to log on again and tax it using the logbook, What a simple process, ticked No to the question "do you have a reminder". Put the reg num in and the V5 number and it states Tax will start from March 1st - but stated the car was...
