For sale. Tessories Performance Spoiler for Model Y - Black (Matt) (#TM0059B) £100 new. Was on the car for about 6 months then removed. There is a low spot in the middle you can just about make out in the second image. Will remove all the tape from the back side so that mounting surface is...

*Reluctant clap*

Three operating within spec yet again. I'll have to check my bill this month, I don't remember adding the "blissful ignorance in case of apocalypse" package but must have done by accident..

Having been switched from Bulb to Octopus - even not by choice, must say I'm a happy customer again now. Bulb by comparison, who at the point of their collapse still hadn't been able to display accurate usage data and costs in their own app. To get a chirpy little email saying they had dropped...

Not surprising though really because it’s entirely dependent on high definition mapping, which is essentially the short cut strategy to ‘solving’ self driving. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner with a mapped adas system. Probably has something to do with the fact that none of the worlds...

It’s not quite so specific in relation to the original meme, but another ol’ faithful from engineering explained I’ve sent to a few people on the fence or who think that it’s a “scam”:

And in other news... bathing in liquid gold costs far more than bathing in water. AND it kills you. So we should all definitely stick to bathing in water for now.

I miss the E30 325i touring in lagunagrün that we had for years. Regret it was sold but storing them well is a commitment.

Enjoy the bimmer. (Gents, Beemers or Beamers are for the bikes exclusively, come on!) Also, enjoy putting the active rear spoiler up and down like it's DRS. I definitely never, ever used to do this all the time. Nope. Am adult. The 3 and 6 series GT's are very slept on I think (Engines...

As Tesla don't publish this information, you're really into the territory of needing to speak to someone at Tesla, or reaching out to someone like Performance EV or Ingineerix who have done a teardown on the Gen2/Gen3 onboard chargers. https://www.youtube.com/@PerformanceEV Probably...

Wait until the 'snow chaos' stories in the ragloids have been absent for a couple of weeks and then buy.

Yes it's just black vinyl in an elongated 'diamond' shape that runs between the two edges of the lower lip. It's not super hard to do, but requires some stretching / heat to get it looking good.

Sometimes we're too stoic for our own good... *gestures vaguely at everything*

It’s incredibly rare the car ever gets road tested, so just disable P2D and give them a key card to get in / out and show them where to put it if they don’t know.

Oh those ones were used by dirty Mike and the boys briefly. Nothing to worry about. /s /jk - congrats, sounds like you found a good deal for your needs. It’s probably something like “older” reg, or possibly pre-‘facelift’ (I.e chrome trims) or demo cars vs undelivered customer cars? Did you...

IMO, off centre plates only work on cars where there is a focal point on the front that necessitates the plate being off centre (as per above examples, new gen M3, Alfa etc.) It’d look odd on a MY (imo of course - all subjective) because it will make it look like something is “missing” from the...

@RafP Have you done a full data privacy request with tesla? If you haven’t already, it may be interesting to see what (if any) order preferences / confirmations they have recorded a response to, and whether they have recorded any of your complaints or conversations up to this point.

Undoubtedly. If you could prove all those things were done in unison to benefit their insurance offering.

I’m having a tin foil hat moment. Now we know Tesla insurance is almost certainly coming to the U.K., I can’t help but shake the idea that this would be a very good way to swoop in on the market: Keep the number of shops who can do accident repairs artificially low, deprioritise parts to...

Also, you just point it and it goes. Basically anywhere. Incredible on normal tyres even - I take it places around us that are the domain of the farmers’ Land Rover normally. He thinks it’s hilarious. This is the top of a forestry track I use which has some pretty chunky slopes and turns into a...

Dear Land Rover owners who I occasionally see on our local forestry tracks looking confused: 🎵Anywhere you can go... I can go faster🎵

Apologies, I missed this crucial detail.

This is just incorrect seating position / adjustment IMO. When you put your arms out in front of you - can you just touch the bottoms of your wrists on the top of the steering wheel with a very slight bend in your arms? What angle are you legs at in relation to the seat and pedals, and are you...

Open a complaint with your insurers and if you haven't already, start a dated list/timeline of factual grievances, costs etc. and make your insurers and the lease company aware of these, in addition to the bodyshop. Keep a running tally, research the motor insurance processes that the FOS can...

Found the guy that does contract work for local council projects! ;)

Everyone has their reasons, circumstances, needs and wants in life which is all good, and IMO overrides basically everything else BUT.... Paying more to end a lease early (bet the lease company will love you given you're probably digging them out of an equity hole), in order to buy an older...

Either way it's frustrating, just fumble after fumble. There is a load of techno-finance-babble but I'm assuming their validated technology is providing static and mobile storage to the defence industry ("cells, packs and racks").

Probably a combination of things (weather changes + your driving style being different to how the car expects you to normally drive) and these offset the higher average speed over the distance.

Much as I too hate paying into what is often a rigged system - it's hard to imagine what would replace it. It would be a very, very fundamental change to the way we look at money, possessions and value though. In ~3,500 years nothing better has surfaced as a general principle. Like almost...

It's trying to make travel unbearable to you by telling you to increase the cabin temp by 1 degree per day until the car is too hot to be in. Only then can it achieve optimal efficiency through weight reduction (one less human = X% range increase). Being serious for a second though - I don't...

App is still letting me access and drive the car but this is why I carry the key card as a backup…

Well... this has a surprising level of lovable ugliness/practicality about it, in a similar vein to the likes of (top of my head) the Picasso, Duster and Jimny.

Doggos (they're the goodest). You've got some great suggestions here in the thread - if all those things are overcome you're probably in more danger than any car or ego is worth, so just hand over the key fob. I bolded the doggos bit because they bring the added benefit of not needing to be...

Could be. Logical in the sense that its one of the components where EMI is a huge challenge, but conversely it would be pretty crazy if the onboard charger was the source because they put a lot of effort into EMI filtering in the onboard charger and the penthouse area of the car for this exact...

This would be so bizarre though. If the onboard charger or the charge port electrics are that poor, it would be a widespread issue and OP has tested two cars (presumably showing no errors). On top - the wall charger should be shielded for this, as should it's source surely? It's not like the...

This is the mysterious bit though isn't it... what on earth could the Tesla possibly be doing to the charger or supply when plugged in and charging that could cause this, if it's not EM/RF related. Aside from the Proximity pin and Control pilot pin on the charger plug doing their thing, it...

If you have this in writing, you're not yet outside the window in which you may be able to do something about this if you're so inclined. Would involve solicitors though and would be uphill all the way. Did you buy it on HP? Personal loan? Either way, just try and enjoy the car forget about...

Phwoarr that is one premium looking Tata *ducks*

If you’re getting after market rims and aren’t bothered about the aero implications you could buy 9j instead of 9.5j and run the CC2’s if that’s the only reason you were going for the Pirelli’s.

To each their own... but sorry, the Polestar interior isn't even parts bin, it's a wish.com x AliBaba collab special. I can't imagine how long it took them to amalgamate and translate all the various manuals for each component into a single, cohesive document. Contrary to what seems to be a...

You don’t need them on the rear, but your point about PPF is *very* related to the mud flaps - it and the mudflaps are there because the front tyres absolutely fire debris at the back of the rear doors. The flare at the rear means the mudflaps and PPF are essential. It’d be sandblasted after a...

Unfortunately the actual geniuses who land rockets and design the cars have no say in foundational or strategic decisions that lead to stuff like this.

No no no no no. Not in England. This is no trivial crime. It would: Deny you charge Lock the doors Set the radio to max volume, (Chris Evans) Set seat heaters to max Reset all of your drive profiles Log you out of every app Report your credit card as being stolen to your bank I’m still not...

That’s honking! 🤢 Guess they’re just that bit more stretched than the hankooks. Michelin know best though I guess..

If they prepped and installed the tyres all in the same way and didn’t pay attention to it then yes they could all look like that and be seated too deeply. Edit: it’s normal for CC2’s apparently. Probably fine since you’ve done 500 miles. Soapy dish water is your friend for checking for slow...

Agree - something looks off. Need a photo from above. From this angle it looks like the bead may not be seated properly…. Almost like they didn’t use enough lube or something.

Both score very highly. Weight of consumer / tesla hive mind feedback would suggest the CC2’s though - just try and find some in stock at RRP.

He hasn't mentioned that working wipers are an important factor in his decision yet either. I'm not breaking the guys heart though, someone else will be along in a minute who can Edit: Ahh *sugar*, I mentioned the wipers
