Driving down the A14 yesterday and a had 2 incidents where it got confused and veered into the slip roads, breaking sharply and steering out of control. People behind me must have thought i was a complete idiot. I had washed the car in the morning (i thought i did a decent job!) and about half...

Err - this is junk. Embarrassing junk. Maybe i'm just annoyed after such a long wait and need to be patient for improvements (although - why should i for a basic feature?). Got the update yesterday morning and did lots of town driving. It was wet yesterday, really wet. A lot a traffic about and...

And Tesla wouldn't be buying them at £6.99 either. But yes, i agree with your analogy. I could save £xxx buy stopping buying toothpaste, or deciding bog roll isn't needed anymore. This is nothing to do with cost savings at all.

I don't understand this. Driver aids and autonomy aren't mutually exclusive and different sensors can provide different functions. And i think Volvo do know what they are doing in the area of safety. The company that has forgotten what they are doing are they ones shipping £60k+ cars without...

Definitely spray conditions for me. The scenario it cant cope with is lots of spray from heavy vehicles whilst its drizzling. In this situation is just want to wipe as little as possible. I presume phantom wipes (or possessed wiper mode where i goes nuts in dry conditions) must be related to...

Thanks for the reply. I know that but it doesnt solve the issue where you need wipers to be activated properly, or if you need to turn them off when they are going mental.

Ha ha! Brilliant! You have good taste in cars ;) It was a lovely trip thanks - hope you enjoyed yours too!

Following up on this, we drove to Leicester and back for last nights football (bad result!). Managed to get there and back on one charge which was awesome, and had lots of superchargers as backup. However, after having good Autopilot experiences during my trip to Belgium, yesterday was a...

Haven't lost faith and love my car. But I am concerned for the future of the Brand and feel its an unnecessarily uncertain time. I've never been a Musk fanboy, and when buying the car i said to myself that i didn't base my purchase decision on my opinion of the CEO (the same as any car purchase...

Yeah - have that set. Must be excruciating when its not set!

Just got back from a trip to Gent in Belgium, which is a journey we have done many times in ICE vehicles and one that would always require us to fill up somewhere on route. Car is Blue Model Y LR with 19 inch boots. Firstly, the car is wonderful to drive on journeys like this. Unbelievably...

I presume the next twitter files. Reckon he probably wants to (create lots of click bait) post about Fauci.

Unbelievable.

Almost had a Donald Trump haircut:

Used 2 features today which imho were mind blowing. This morning used Defrost. Didn't take long and the car was completely clear of ice when we got in it, and nice and warm too. The ICE looked like an ice cube. We were out for the day and about 5 minutes before we were due to get in the car i...

When i reverse i get the rear and side cameras on the screen, and 2 car width lines on the screen (rear camera) that show the trajectory of the car based on the steering. No distance calculator, no beeps. No beta mode to try. The last car i owned that didn't have reverse beeps this was a...

Got my V5 today. Picked up on the 23rd.

What has delighted you? Stunning drive and complete simplicity. One pedal driving. All the family smile when we are in the car. The electric motor having instant torque and no gears is very special indeed. I hate driving my ICE now (when i have to). What a glass roof! What has disappointed...

Anyone got their V5 documents yet? Still waiting and would have expected it by now.

I love my Blue, but dang does that look good in black.

After all the excitement of yesterdays pickup i completely forgot to ask the reps as the pickup about the V5 documents. Are these going to be posted or do i have to do something?

Might have seen me and my wife there! Mine was a bit dirty inside but nothing a lint free cloth couldn't sort. Very happy and no obvious issues. Lots to learn. Think i will definitely get some wheel covers from aliexpress though.

Thanks for the photo. Definitely will look out for that tomorrow.

Pick up mine tomorrow. Had some bad news that has somewhat taken the gloss out of the whole thing, but hopefully seeing the perfectly aligned panels and a cheeky 0-60 test will cheer me up.

I'm loving the photos, but they are also driving me mad. I now want mine in black with a white interior and the 20 inch wheels! That black looks gorgeous.

Me too. Was going to but kids and dogs 😬

Do you mind letting me know what one you got. Was considering this but not sure if good enough.

I pick up MYLR in blue on Wednesday. I have: Paid for it (palaver!) Got insurance (Admiral) Floor Mats from Amazon (kids that play football!) Boot liner from Amazon Screen protector tessories Console trays from Amazon Frunk and lower boot liner from tessories What am i missing, or am i just...

Seems good value but in the picture the look very plastic. Be good to know if they look ok and you are happy with them when they arrive. These ones on Amazon look better in the pictures but might just be the same. Mats are definitely something i would rather see before i spend £100 quid on.

I called them and they then put my order on hold. It got released from hold after we went past the previously assigned delivery window date. I then got allocated a future window pretty quicky.

I refused collection twice and was offered a car as soon as one became available.

Are you Bluewater as well? Exactly 1 week for me too 😬

Mine has just gone through!

Just called them again as its still not sorted. They said there were issues and had nothing to worry about. Nothing, other than 56k unaccounted for that is !

I pick mine up on the 24th. Will let you know if they are any good or if I get straight on Amazon. Kids can make the existing car look like a mud pit in minutes.

Paid my full balance on Saturday, but still not showing in my account. I did a £1 test transaction Friday that went through fine. Rang them up and they said "Don't worry - it will all be fine by the end of the day, just ring as back if its not in tomorrow'. Its 56 friking grand people, of course...

From what i understand they are carpet but i have no idea how good they will be and how well they will cover the floor. Thinking about all weather mats for better protection but will wait to see how good the Tesla ones are first.

23rd November for me!

Thanks for letting me know!

Hi everyone - its time for me to payup. I presume i just need to do a normal bank transfer with the details shown in my Tesla account? They call it 'wire' transfer, but i presume thats because they are American. Anything i should be aware of when doing the transfer - does it take a long time...

Not sure. The prompt in no ways informs you how the car will be different to the one you both test drove and ordered. The choice you make is completely blind, and involves you having faith that the experience will be equal at some point in the future. Its not as if i can go to a dealer and try...

Just had my SMS to pick up delivery. We are scheduled 11am 23rd November from Bluewater. Still not asked for money yet ;) Model Y LR in Blue.

No, mine says: We are drafting up your invoice and will contact you to arrange your final payment. I am presuming i will be asked for payment at the point they arrange collection then?

So those of us who are in the late November delivery window (i have a VIN and estimate is November 19 - December 03), when do you think Tesla will ask for their money?

Hmm. Too much reference to 'bloat' there and the sensors role in AI. These sensors provide value to the consumer. Unless you provide a suitable alternative to the consumer for an expected feature in a 50k + car then you have failed in your role as an engineer.

Looking forward to putting it in reverse and not hearing beeps from the sensors. Also looking forward to the wife discovering that for the first time 😬

We settled on Terry.

Thanks, although i am a little suspicious of Tesla with this one. Reverse parking sensors was my wife's one condition of getting the car :rolleyes:. She doesn'tyet know about the whole Tesla Vision stuff 😬

Thanks. Does that include bleeping when reversing near close objects?

The plan is to get the parking beeps back right? Just not using sensors anymore?
