I can’t disagree with your sentiments, however one would expect that they have the replacement technology ready to go before implementing any changes. It’s shameful that they have adopted this approach.

Sergio!

Had my first episode of phantom braking yesterday on the A55. Straight road, 70mph on autopilot and a van enters the entry slip road - not moving onto the main carriageway and my car suddenly fully slams the brakes on. I expect the driver of the car following me headed home for a change of...

Here you go- Tessories Matte Wheel Covers for Model Y (#TM0077A)

To further mitigate my wheel damage paranoia, I fitted these caps that also cover the rims of my Gemini wheels.

The border is parallel to the side of the car. Place the piece of tape at the bottom of the windscreen so it appears adjacent to the border when you are seated in your normal driving position

I kept the wheels of my Q5 pristine over four years, but had a near miss with the MY as I’ve found it quite difficult to accurately judge where the near side wheels are. Remembering an old driving instructors trick, I positioned the car in my drive with the nearside wheel adjacent to a border...

I’m occasionally finding myself going a bit quick due to the car’s performance and lack of engine noise feedback, so because the car doesn’t have a speed limiter I activated the speed warning option. However, I’ve never been able to hear the warning sound when travelling above the set speed...

I share your worries even though I have the Gemini wheels. Just fitted these caps which protect the wheel rims

I have bought a phone holder for my MY and now use Siri and Apple maps from the phone. Defeats the object somewhat, but less frustrating than the crap UI in the Tesla.

My wipers seem to have a mind of their own when set to Auto. They activate when there is no rain and went crazy when driving into low sun on a dry day. I had a visit from a Tesla technician today to adjust a slightly out of alignment headlight and when I asked him about the wiper issue he said...

My 2018 Audi Q5 had the majority of the requests in this thread working seamlessly. Two weeks into my Model Y, I love the driving experience but it feels as though a lot of the the UI technology is style over substance. I’d rather Tesla prioritised their development resources to have fully...

After a full week of ownership I agree with most of your comments and would also add that phone integration is particularly poor. Navigation is not great so I’ve bought a phone mount so I can use Waze or Apple Maps on my phone instead of Tesla / Google mapping. Whilst I like driving the car...

Looks good. I picked mine up last week and have the same issue with one of the headlights not being quite flush. Got a service visit booked for next week to sort it out - why compromise when spending nearly £60K on a a car? Hopefully they will also be able to advise on how to get a decent ring...

Thanks for the tip, at least I now get a vibration on my watch to alert me to the call

....but could your Land Rover fart?

Thanks for the suggestion but made no difference. I've also noticed that the car only seems to sound the ring tone for about three rings then stops, although the ability to answer the call via the screen is still there. I've got a service visit booked for next week as I just noticed a slightly...

Funnily enough thats exactly what's happening - quiet ring tone and my apple watch doesn't alert me in the car, although it works fine everywhere else.

Loving the driving experience so far. Missing the birds-eye view camera that I had on my Audi as well as active matrix headlights but hopefully Elon will decide to activate them one day. The phone integration is a bit basic - does anyone know how to increase the volume of the ringtone as I...

I I wanted to do a ceramic coat on the new car before the paint got degraded in any way. I used Autoglym high definition ceramic coating that I bought from Amazon for around £50. It was really easy to use and I did it outside in the shade (after checking the weather forecast!). You get two...

Picked the car up last Thursday. Surprisingly I received the V5 today so I can now put my private plate on the car

The front mats were flat and the rear mat was folded in half but flattened out in a couple of minutes.

I had the same ‘floppy tongue’ issue so decided to bite the bullet and buy some third-party mats from Amazon. They arrived today and I’m really impressed with them, perfect fit, quite thin and not too bulky like some of the rubber mats you see elsewhere. RHD Car Floor Mats for Tesla...

Same here

Collected the car yesterday and this morning I spent a couple of hours applying ceramic coating which meant I scrutinised every bit of bodywork close up. Delighted to say that the fit and finish is perfect and on a par with my previous Audi. Well impressed after reading all the horror stories of...

Well spotted 😀. The front seat passenger is an optional extra. However, well worth the exorbitant cost when needing a driver after a night out.

You certainly won’t regret it.

Picked up from Manchester this morning. I was the only person collecting and the whole process took 10 minutes including the part-ex inspection. No issues whatsoever, the car looks faultless and came with 40% charge. It seems a smoother ride than the example I took for a test drive and a better...

Collecting mine this morning from Manchester. Feeling a bit like a kid at Christmas! Quick question - has anyone had a dashcam fitted in the NW? I know that the car has its own rudimentary system, but having looked at footage, it’s not a patch on a dedicated system. Additionally, the Thinkware...

About 12 hours for me 👍

Two more sleeps ….😄

Thanks. I’ve tried your suggestion and Loop says it’s a first generation smart meter and can’t read the results so I guess that’s what the issue is with Octopus. However, my previous supplier, BG, seemed to do so with no problem?

Same here, which is why I had to get the clarification

Interesting that they told you that they would switch the meter as I switched to Octopus a couple of weeks ago and was then told my SMETS1 meter wouldn’t do half-hourly and they weren’t allowed to replace it as I already had a smart meter. They said that they have to do a modification which can...

I did ask LV a direct question about trackers and got this reply. and on the Tesla website, it states: Does my Tesla have a tracker? You can track your Tesla directly through your Tesla app, which uses a GPS tracking system to locate your car. The security package includes an intrusion sensor...

This may be a stupid question - I'm collecting mine on the 8th Sept from Manchester. For those of you who have collected from there, are the cars kept under cover? I was just wondering how you go about performing collection checks on the exterior if it's raining?

Does anyone else feel slightly deflated when reading that because of rising electricity prices the cost of fuel for an electric car will be broadly similar to that of a diesel - and will probably far exceed diesel and petrol prices with the expected increases next year? This is based on...

Same here. My valuation was only £500 less than the original over five months ago. Beat all the other offers I got online so a no-brainier.

I recently switched to Octopus from BG for electricity with a view to moving onto the GO tariff. I gave them the reading from my smart meter and everything seemed to be going OK until I received a text yesterday saying that they will let me know when a smart meter can be fitted, which I didn't...

In light of the comments on here, I further contacted LV with this question: Thanks for your reply. For the avoidance of doubt, can you please confirm that the specific vehicle locator facility fitted to a Tesla (where a phone app can be used to locate the vehicle) meets the necessary...

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was also unsure whether I needed one or not, so I emailed LV and got this response: 'We don't recommend what make of tracker is fitted, however we need to let you know that a tracking device is an electronic device, which is fitted to the car and emits a...

I got my registration number earlier this week. Picking up from Manchester on 8th September. Got everything in place now with LV who gave me a quote of £450 inc. legal and NCD protection

I’m collecting mine in a couple of weeks and have been debating whether I need all this as it’s white. How much were you quoted for the work?

Shanghai

Hi, I saw the VIN in the page code on August 10th and got a text with my VIN and reg from Tesla on the 22nd. Collecting on 8th Sept so around 18 days

Thanks. I’m with NatWest so the same issues as RBS

For those of you paying cash, have you had any issues with setting up Tesla as a payee with online banking? I keep getting a 'can't verify payee' message after entering Tesla's account number, name and sort code on my banking app.

Just received a text with my VIN and registration number. Collecting Manchester 8th Sept :)

Apologies for this off-topic question, but I’m picking up my MY in Manchester on Sept 8th and am then planning a drive from Dublin to Mitchelstown and then on to Cork to visit my wife’s family. I couldn’t see many superchargers in Ireland on the Tesla app so whilst I’d have no problem when...
