City of Bristol 65p

No issues to date including driving from Somerset to North West Scotland and back. Note, I am carrying two kayaks so front tie downs are offset from the centre. The two kayaks carried are both 4.75 meters in length, so do overhang over the bonnet. Also note I used Thule tie downs which are...

Yep definitely part of the in-car release notes for the UK. Not tested yet.

The headlight assembly does have a couple of stepper motors that can move the whole LED matrix and projector in 2 axis, up/down and left/right I think. So as well as being able to switch on and off pixels individually, there is certainly scope for limited left/right rotation of the...

Best to ask on their discord channel as there is a lot of functionality that not everyone uses, so potential for some compatibility issues. For example

Same here. No obvious issues here but there is so much that could potentially be incompatible it's hard to be sure nothing is impacted. For example

Just happened to open the Tesla app and this sneaked in...

Damn, wish I had thought of that! 🙂

And then do some ghost hunting with your cheap toy.

Very good point. As someone involved in RF testing, including emissions , immunity and SAR testing, I can safely say that meter is garbage.

You mean this meter... Must be a highly accurate and calibrated device, must have cost thousands.

Good advert for Starlink. Being able to watch one of the fins burn up in real time surrounded in plasma was incredible.

That's what happens when you unload a ship full of cars at a car terminal, you park them up awaiting PDI and customer delivery/collection. There are no dealers to distribute the cars to.

My 4th EV was my first Tesla. While not everybody needs a Tesla, I still think it's the best long distance EV out there, particularly for business drivers. No regrets. Not driven a Highland yet, so can't comment on stalkless.

But has had problems over the last 6 months, not least an uncertain future due to the depature of the original developer and flyers API. But if it's true that every app will need to pay to access the API...

Will certainly be a watching how things develop

Same for me. I use Teslamate(self hosted on a dedicated Pi) and recently started using Tessie. The data logging makes claiming business mileage expenses so much easier, as I can easily figure what drives in a particular time period where work trips and exactly how many miles to claim. I started...

Details over in the Tessie section of TMC

You are not alone. Based on Tessies 370000 ish vehicle fleet, 2024.14.6 never made it to 20%. Tessies fleet is a decent sample size and likely a pretty good representation of the whole Tesla fleet. So you are still in the majority

.7 spotted

Same for me, got an update notification while sat on a supercharger on the way home from picking the car up on the 19th Feb 2022 and then another three within the first month. Very random.

This also suggests a pause, with only 18.5% of Tessies 371000 strong fleet on .6

Not necessarily. It's likely better for reliability and longevity which is better for the customer. Tesla obviously has confidence in it's battery packs as they still warranty them. This video from Gruber Motor addresses this very issue in detail. It's far from a disposable car as suggested...

Tesla structural batteries are still removable and replaceable Model Y Service Manual | Tesla

It's hardware related. UWB requires new hardware pre Highland M3 don't have.

I would say the shares are to high when compared to a legacy traditional car company. But Tesla is a disruptor, they are doing things that are upsetting the norm and not just in terms of robotaxis and AI but rather just as much in terms of engineering and manufacturing. They have thrown out the...

Not entirely. While Elon is he largest shareholder he is a long way from being a majority share holder. Last time I looked he held about 10-12%. Large financial institutions such as BlackRock, JP Morgan and Vanguard will hold more shares combined. You need to keep those guys happy, they will...

I'm a Bluetooth/UWB applications engineer. Am also a member of the BT Sig and Fira UWB consortium. There are numerous types of UWB that are not interoperable. uWB is a rather generic term. Not all iPhone 11 support UWB, the SE doesn't. Android UWB support is rather more fragmented but many...

Any publicly traded company is a slave to it's shareholders (the large institutional ones) and the numbers on a quarterly spreadsheet will often dictate a companies actions, even if it makes no sense to the rest of us.

Have a look at these sites for more data than you can dream of. Pretty every conceivable statistic about a rollout is available from these 3 sites. Data we are not short of. How useful it is debatable, cool none the less https://teslafi.com/firmware.php https://stats.tessie.com/...

A bit more .6 now for Europe. Though at time of post only 4% of the Tessie fleet globally.

Tessie is seeing some of its Euro fleet getting .6

Last time I was in that part of the world the locals were talking about"them new fangled motorways" that they had heard rumours about😉 I driv all way a Yarmouth, an on way back tha snew!

Another iteration has appeared

Is it already essentially cash. I export £70 of electricity a month, spring to autumn. So that goes straight onto my Octopus credit. But yes I could ask Octopus to refund me my account credit but it's easier to manage all my occasional non Tesla SC through electroverse and my Octopus account...

One nice feature for me this time of year is my solar export credit, which can be significant April through September, can be used to charge the car away from home as both my export credit and occasional non Tesla charging are on my Octopus bill. In a way it lets me take my house solar on the...

They plan to add button functions to the knob over time. Sounds like its a case of testing each function they migrate.

Just gets sent to my email, probably needs you to not opt out of news and event in communication preferences on the web site for your account.

Cloud seeding impact if any is very temporary, so likely not a factor. You are introducing additional condensation nuclei into a cloud that hasn't really got what it takes to rain. It would make little difference to a storm already laden with moisture and already forecast.

Definitely matters to me. Approaching retirement and will lose my company car allowance soon but am fortunate to now own my car outright now. Living off pensions/investments alone is going to be tough, so knowing I have very low fuel costs will let me enjoy retirement without worrying about the...

Worth mentioning that Ford, GM and VW amongst others have also made job cuts in recent months, they just don't make the headlines the way that Tesla does. The pain is across the industry right now.

Same for me on two different phones as of this morning, first drive on 2024.8.9. Toggling bluetooth off/on doesn't help, nor does power cycling the phone or reinstalling the app. The phones show as connected on the cars screen and you can lock/unlock by pressing the button on the phone app...

Of late there have been loads of US YouTubers doing FSD 12.x.x.x (supervised). This is the first one I have seen in rain

Use the numbers on this screen. Note how the projected range will change depending on driving style, weather, battery temp and road conditions. Use the 30mi number on a longer motorway journey.

Well the content isn't the same now as it was when first published.

He probably cannot confirm or deny particulars about company plans or timescales. Its not unknown for journos to speculate on something based on sliver of information to try and draw out things a company is not ready to share.

Dual lock is good, we use it at work. Very satisfying mechanical click when the two sides connect.

You might want to join their discord channels as they share lots of info about future updates, for example migration of button functions to the knob, they can only code and test a fixed amount in a given month.

Field Applications Engineer in embedded wireless, mainly Bluetooth and UWB stuff. Claim to fame, one of my products was involved in hacking a Tesla ... I should point out it was an off the shelf BT device and was nothing exceptional, just a surprise to see a picture of it being used for that...
