This is definitely a new problem for cars, which didn't exist before Tesla. There's always going to be FOMO if the base model of a vehicle is updated over time with new internal technology hardware. There will come a time that some updates to the newest models just can't physically work on the...

I think the "membership" is tied to the car when you own one but if you need to charge other EVs expect you'll need to sign up for a separate membership. The billing is obviously automatic via the car for a Tesla but for others it's not.

For anyone who didn't get the email yet, this is all it says: The Learn More link just points to the Supercharging part of the web page but this is the relevant page: https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/support/supercharging-other-evs#supercharging-membership

How long have you had the car? If you've only owned it during cold weather so far, the behaviour you describe is somewhat normal when the weather starts to warm a little. While the general temperature inside the car may be at the set point on the climate control, the adjustments the system is...

Sometimes updates get pulled/cancelled, so if you don't install it while it's offered it will just disappear from your download queue. It depends what the current release cycle is & if they need to issue bug fixes etc. It's not unusual, you'll just get the next update version. If you...

If your USB stick/drive is working, the camera is always recording while driving. Check that you have the small red circle in the corner of the camera icon, not a red cross. The constant recording only keeps the most recent one hour of video. If you manually save a clip by either pressing the...

I think that's more an argument in favour of adaptive beams than against. They are much more effective at not blinding other cars than a fixed alignment.

It's quite hard to see the beam pattern unless you are on a very dark road with hedges/trees/buildings at the sides. A bit of mist or fog makes it much easier to see. TL;DR - I suspect the low beam alignment and adaptive high beams have little or no relevance to each other. (Disclaimer: This...

The wipers are unfathomably hit & miss. I drove in moderate rain a week or so ago & the wipers worked pretty much perfectly. Both daytime and in the dark on the same day. Yesterday and this morning they were completely and utterly useless and barely activated in a similar amount of rain, so I...

Yes, I'll try the calibration when I'm somewhere flat (my drive is on an incline).

Just went for a quick country lane drive with this update to test out the adaptive high beams. They work very well, I could see they definitely drop fast enough for oncoming traffic even around sharp bends. Didn't get flashed once. However... I did get flashed three times when the high beams...

It's not FSD, it's basic autopilot. Calling it "Full Self Driving Capability" on his videos is misleading and clickbait. To be honest, I think it's quite dangerous to use the current version of AP on those types of roads and Tesla should prevent it from being used outside of the "restricted...

Which version of the app are you on now? Mine updated on the 6th to v4.30.6-2531 & is still woefully slow (I don't have an update available).

My issue is the opposite. Spotify in the car won't play explicit tagged songs, no matter what I try. They are displayed in the playlist but are greyed out. When it gets to them they are just skipped. I gave up looking for a solution to be honest. It's not that I'm specifically trying to play...

There's a force_data_update button entity you can use to pull the latest info from the API. It does wake the car though, so best to only use it if you need to. I don't have IO, but wouldn't you stop the charge based on when the dispatch is off with the Octopus integration rather than checking...

Which is interesting because I was with Admiral in 2022 as they were cheapest by far. Their quote for 2023 was nothing short of laughable at double the previous year, so I moved to Churchill. For 2024 Admiral are once again the cheapest for me by a long shot, so I switched back... Car insurance...

I just found my car windows in the "vented" position as if that option was clicked in the app. Having checked back through my home security cameras I can see they were closed at 8:30 this morning, but open at 13:30 this afternoon. Unfortunately no motion set off the camera between those times to...

I think Tesla just uses the Google Maps routing and speed estimations doesn't it? I know there are now added calculations for efficiency and arrival SoC but the routing is all Google I believe. I haven't done it for a while, but I did compare the Tesla route to Google a couple of times when I...

For extra effect, get the can out of the frunk. Never fails to add extra confusion. Thankfully last spring was likely the final time I'll need to do that at all... Switched to an Einhell battery mower last year.

General consensus is that nothing is a fact with Tesla until you have the car in your possession. Any "this is coming soon" type posts are conjecture at best, until cars actually start arriving with those changes.

What's the context for your chart? Average market price of what? Not disputing it, just curious what it relates to. Seems odd that it went up >5k in the first 6 months then down from there, so it doesn't look like a depreciation curve of a car bought in what appears to start Jan 2022.

They would not be detected. Despite the appearance of looking somewhat real in the Apple advertising, they don't look anything like that in real life (plenty of youtube videos showing how they actually look). Even if they did look more "real", face detection systems are more sophisticated than...

No, it isn't. Dealerships sell cars, Tesla Service Centers do not. Do they offer incentives that are not listed on the website at time of order? That's not something I've seen but If so, that's a good thing to look out for.

TL;DR - If you would like a personal service to help you buy your car, you will need to look at other marques. Tesla don't do that. I can absolutely see why your experience was frustrating. I'd be annoyed in that situation too (not being able to test drive the car I asked for). However: Tesla...

Your images don't exactly make an apples for apples comparison though do they? those 718k/2.5m figures are global sales of ALL vehicles, not just EVs. From the body of that InsideEVs article: Tesla obviously don't sell anything other than BEVs, so their 1.81 million certainly makes a bigger...

Not sure I quite understand what all the fuss is about with the lack of rear view window. Have none of you ever driven a van? It takes about 10 minutes of driving to get used to it. Even the M3 has a virtually useless rear window view. Trying to see anything out of it while reversing is...

Small tip for anyone using comparison sites - They are not all the same. I used to find that quotes from one comparison site to the other were almost identical. It seems this is no longer the case. CTM gave me a quote of £696 from Admiral but GoCompare gave me £883 from Admiral with the exact...

Thanks Churchill... So much for customer retention and not overcharging for renewals. Several quotes around the £700 mark on comparison sites, one of which is Admiral, who did the same exact thing to me for last year's renewal quote. What a crock of sh*t.... (27 days to renewal, so I'll wait...

Well, isn't that the best place to garner opinions from existing Tesla drivers who are potentially looking for alternatives to their existing car? Sharing findings of cars they may have looked at and dismissed for various reasons as a valid alternative to a Tesla, or decided to go ahead &...

Is anyone aware of an easily-digestible comparison page or list that exists anywhere? While there have been the occasional nugget of useful info in this thread, it's mostly 37 pages of various unrelated discussion rather than making an informed alternative comparison. Very difficult to fish...

Yes it's in HACS. You should see it as an update in the HACS window. v10.0.2 was released a week or so ago.

Your comment seems slightly aggressive, perhaps you should check your own facts before telling someone else they are wrong. Admittedly a small sample size, but I just spent some time picking random mini roundabouts and normal roundabouts on the map & checking street view (in several different...

Nope, even setting it to 1 mile still doesn't display them (it shows 5 miles driven at 0-5mph). Most odd.

@WannabeOwner Hypothetically speaking, if my car had perhaps unwittingly travelled at over 70mph, how would you display the >70mph readings in TeslaFi? Mine only goes up to 70. 2022 M3LR, for comparison's sake.

I'm certainly keeping an eye on both the Tracker and 12M Fixed rates for gas & electric. I checked my actual stats, I've been logging them in Home Assistant/Grafana for just over 60 days now: Tracker electricity average 17.1p, 12M Fixed 29.88p (~42% lower) Tracker gas average 4.67p, 12M Fixed...

My account has had that notice for months. Tracker is still far far better than the "loyal" fixed. Fixed for me is 29.88 p/kWh. The average for my Tracker has been in the region of 19p.

I'd look at getting a stick-on vinyl plate. No chance of losing that & they look a lot better (IMO).

Were these both in daytime? My auto wipers work a lot better in the dark, believe it or not... Monumentally useless in the daytime, but slightly less useless at night. Go figure.

I think it is "usual" for a large majority of us to have no major issues. Software annoyances aside, the number of actual issues with the physical cars seem to be quite minimal. It's certainly a positive point in Tesla's favour that the requirement and therefore the cost of maintenance is so...

I can't comment on the value of the invoice to Black Horse, but you eSign the finance agreement when you collect the car.

Auto wipers are definitely worse for me on .5.1 than they ever have been before. As a test at the weekend I set them to auto and turned on AP on the M4 in "proper" rain, not just drizzle. The wipers did absolutely nothing... I left it as long as I dared to, as a test, but had to wipe the screen...

Small sample size of course, but not in my experience. I've only had AEB on one other car before my M3, the ID.3. It was significantly more sensitive than my M3 and & I had two full on AEB braking incidents in the 14 months that I had the car. Both in the exact same spot. It's a road on a slight...

AEB is now required by Euro NCAP for a car to get a 5 star rating. I'm not certain, but I believe part of the requirement is that it can't be turned off permanently, so it's not a Tesla decision. Unless you count them wanting to have a 5 star rating as part of that decision. Certainly not...

I haven't looked into it in any detail, but from snippets I've picked up online, there seems to be an issue with EVs in general at the moment. Obviously we know that online posts are often utter nonsense, but there's enough noise to suggest there's a wider issue. If I were to guess, it seems the...

Before now, PCP has almost always been better on paper than leasing, even if you planned to return the car at the end of the agreement instead of paying the final figure. It's only in very recent months that leasing may look more attractive because the residuals on EVs (not just Teslas) are...

I installed my TeslaMate in February last year & it hasn't been updated since. The container had been up for 586 days without even restarting. Last week I did a Docker pull to update the fixes for the new car software version & it just worked fine, with no fuss. YMMV of course, but it was fine...

But you don't own a Tesla with FSD, you own a car that has the capability for it once it releases in the the UK. At the moment, it has the same software as everyone else outside the US. As others have stated, the article is baseless with no actual information about what this person is so...

Thankfully you can cancel the auto high beam & keep AP on. Just push forward on the left stalk & you'll see the greyed out HB icon will turn off on the screen.

Mine doesn't. The only way I can get AC or recirculation is to change to manual. Can you double check how yours works if you have a minute next time you drive? Having the AC set to off really doesn't help with defogging, and often will make it worse if the weather is cold & humid. I may log a...

I think this has always been the case if you get in the car before it thinks it's finished defrosting. I believe the functionality is that whatever the setting is when you get in the car is what "sticks" until you change it. If you leave it long enough to finish defrosting before you get in the...
