I’m not hugely worried about it. The requirement is for it to be fitted to new cars, and although we get regular software updates they don’t make the car new.

Newport Pagnell North are all drive-through style. About the only way it can work with the cramped car park, but ominously suggests they're opening them to other manufacturers. 250kW V3.

Working for me as of 6.30am today.

You can test the scroll wheels in the service mode.

£23,500 for a 71 plate Model 3 LR with 40,000 miles and EAP.

Incidentally, anyone seen any progress on Newport Pagnell northbound?

Is what we do ourselves that much different? Basically getting in a car and practising on public roads? They can have FSD running on the 2nd Autopilot computer and every time its decision varies from the driver's, you get a training point for your data. Or you can have it go around in a...

Or they could revert all non-V4 chargers back to Tesla owners only, which would address the problem nicely.

EAP in the US and UK are very different things and not really comparable. It has its problems but as my journeys are 99% motorway it's just about worth it for me to avoid the constant "bing-bong-bong-bing" whenever you change lane. It's better than it was.

Automatic lane change only and nope, just outright purchase. Having said that Tesla apply EAP to all their used vehicles, but since their prices are about £3K higher than any other used car dealer I'm not sure this is a saving.

The reason Tesla has gone down the end-to-end neural network route is for precisely this reason. They don't need to teach it what all these bits and pieces are, they're implicitly included in the training. So in general it'll do the same as a human does, which is to improvise carefully. None of...

Ah, I see.

Why?

Ahh... bit soon for me with the early termination charges. Hope the sale goes quickly and enjoy the Lotus.

How much of a rush to sell? My Model 3 goes back to the lease company in early September and I want to stick with Tesla. What's the mileage on it at the moment? :)

It’s definitely better than it was a year ago. Points deducted this morning for deciding to indicate and attempt to swerve off the motorway onto a slip road at 70mph though. Still not sure why it does that.

Mug seekers?

a051 required a charge port replacement on my Model 3. You can ignore the eCall one if it’s not present all the time, and you can fix the USB one by unplugging it and plugging back in again.

Why on earth would Ionity cut their price when outside of Tesla they’re already cheaper than the competition?

I looked for this tonight on my drive down to work and it definitely biases away from HGVs. Quite subtle though. Only one attempt to stamp on the brakes and this was caused by the moron in the lane next to me using FaceTime on his phone.

The rules apply to drivers too and the authorities don't seem too bothered about them being bent slightly by humans.

Has anyone noticed this on 2024.14? Sentry Mode is coming on at home and work, even though they’re excluded in the settings.

Yep. Even with the updated maps. Overall I’m pretty impressed with this update on my Atom Model 3. It’s noticeably smoother and Netflix is now useable again. The extra visualisations for other vehicles are interesting (though I’d not show oncoming traffic on the motorway by choice because it’s...

yes, first time ever that Autopilot managed the M1/M25 junction without screwing it up.

I quite like the regen / power bar. The lack of one in the Mach-E really annoyed me when I had one for the weekend. Not mentioned yet but a lot of new stuff in the service mode pages, including a new change-log separate from the normal car one. Also new navigation data downloading as I write.

Got it on my Intel Atom Model 3 today. Apart from the new UI all the advertised features seem to be there. Shame Audible doesn’t work in the UK though (the login QR code redirects you to Amazon.com instead of Amazon.co.uk). Unless anyone knows another way to sign in?

If anyone knows that they're going to be selling on a 2019 or newer Model S Long Range (100D?) over the next three months, please let me know before you hand over commission to We Buy Any Car or similar. Max 60,000 miles. My salary sacrifice Model 3 is due to go back to the big dealership in the...

Yeah, I find EAP useful (although I think it’s a rip-off for what it does), but second-hand FSD is basically a lottery ticket and should probably be priced the same.

For those who sold their Tesla privately:- If you paid for FSD or EAP when you bought the car, do you think you got any of that money back when you sold it? I'm actually scouting around for a used Model 3 and would quite like EAP, but would probably pay a smidgen more for FSD at this point on...

I've decided to just buy a used Model 3 when the lease is up in September. Even with salary sacrifice I'm not prepared to pay for more than the entire cost of the car and then give it back to the leasing company to sell on. Used Model 3 with Ryzen and OK mileage is about 26K.

I've only had Intelligent Octopus fail to charge once, but a backup is to always set the charge schedule in the car to start charging at 23:30 when at home. If IO needs to add extra charge slots it'll override this, and if not you'll get at least six hours of electricity into the tank.

They’ve objected to every proposed large-scale battery installation on safety grounds.

Arguably the problem here is the fire service giving dodgy advice. The hospital doesn’t really have a choice as they’d be in an indefensible position if something did happen. The fire service has a history of being anti EV. They’ve objected to battery installations all over the country on...

There's a load of third party chargers at the Scotch Corner services now, which is much better than fighting for 60kW at the hotel.

I dump my car in airport car parks for weeks at a time and the battery never drains more than a few percent.

Wow. Who made the decision to open one of the busiest sites (Northampton) to all vehicles? Not surprising Musk just sacked the entire Supercharger team.

I wonder if Tesla could price aggressively enough to force Gridserve / Ionity / Instavolt into receivership, and pick up another 1000 charge points?

You *could* do that, but mine has kept guard on my car's dashboard for nearly three years now.

It doesn't cause "wear and tear" on the car. What do you think could wear out?

It's not the roundabout sign. It's down to the fact that Autopilot is written for US highways, and then copied and pasted for the UK with "left" changed to "right". US junctions get lane 1 as a slip road. In this case, the Tesla recognises that there's no hard shoulder; it's at a junction; and...

Yes, I've not used either since they started charging for access.

If you're still under warranty then it's worth raising a service request in the app for this. It won't result in a fix directly for your car, but they do get bounced upwards. Tesla is statistic-driven more than most companies, so this is about the only way to get things fixed.

Because it's a business decision. Looking at the leaked video I don't think it could do the shiny car rendered when you're not moving with the shortcuts for bonnet / boot etc.

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. The point I’m making is that it’s possible that the autopilot visualisation is actually being rendered elsewhere and just provided to the MCU as little more than a video feed from the autopilot computers (which are completely separate and independent...

Doesn't this support my argument? I notice that when the map is lagging, the autopilot visualisation isn't, which implies that it's being rendered elsewhere.

Assuming the 3D model is being rendered by the Intel GPU anyway. I can imagine the high resolution stationary version rendered on the iGPU, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the autopilot visualisation is being rendered by the autopilot computers and just piped down to the display.

But largely pointless if you have to pay £5 to access Supercharger sites, which is where things are trending thanks to their policy of putting them in hotel car parks.

Enforcing the 70mph limit on motorways would also go a long way towards reducing both carbon emissions and air pollution, as would banning cars and diesel trains from idling when stationary. Turning off the start/stop functionality in an ICE car should result in an automatic increase to the VED.

Not especially, but I do care about providers taking the piss, which is happening with the big three (and possibly Tesla as well, as their prices used to rise and fall with wholesale costs but have been static/increasing for a year).
