    Hertz in the US discontinueing Tesla's from Fleet

    I rented a Model 3 through Hertz in the US in April. It was only for two days but it also only cost me $160. I think the cheapest ICE rental at that time was about $140 so it seemed a no brainer. Had no issues with it and it is a shame they are pulling out. The only annoying thing about renting...

    Autopilot /Adaptive cruise getting worse

    This is what is happening to me. Any time a car in the next lane drifts over so slightly out of the middle of their lane (which literally happens all the time), my car freaks out and jabs the brakes. Not sure which firmware introduced this behaviour, but it is fairly new and extremely...

    11k miles for me. Was a year of ownership on the 25th. Absolutely love it still, best car I've ever owned by miles. My wife thinks the same. My daughter says she couldn't imagine life without a Tesla 😄. White seats holding up very well and I find the interior is super easy to keep clean. Only...

    Anyone Used Boom EV Car Insurance?

    Just tried that and it came back as £1650! It's going up not down :oops:

    Anyone Used Boom EV Car Insurance?

    My renewal with Direct Line is up and my premium has gone from £800 to £1250 (no claims made this year etc). Did a moneysupermarket search and the best was Adrmial at £1150. Why? Garbage. Yet another thing we are getting ripped off for. Not sure what else I can do now other then pester Direct...

    White Interior Thoughts?

    You could hear a hundred stories from us about how the white seats are great (I've had the white seats for a year and they are still looking great), but that one story about how they stain will put you off and you'll go for black. It is inevitable.

    Autopilot raised at PMQs

    Apologies for those that already know this but you can press the accelerator to speed the car up whilst still in AP. Bit of a pain but it does help in this scenario.

    Planning journey from app

    I have this on iOS now after updating. It's in the Location section. Bit basic compared to ABRP but still nice to have and I hope they iterate on it.

    Sentry mode going into panic mode with a passenger in the car. Help!

    Yes, I think I was confused and believed it was sentry mode related when in fact it is just the internal car alarm going off. I think some of the confusion is that the music going off feels like something sentry mode would do rather than a traditional car alarm. I have no idea how it took...

    Sentry mode going into panic mode with a passenger in the car. Help!

    I so far am the only one who hasn't experienced it, but I have been told by my wife and daughter (too) many times it wasn't much of a fun experience! 😄

    Sentry mode going into panic mode with a passenger in the car. Help!

    Hmm this has been enlightening, so thanks for that. So it has happened on three occasions. Twice with my wife left in the car, who had her phone with her (and Tesla app installed and key in her bag etc), but it would have been me who unlocked the car (and I think locked it when I walked away)...

    Sentry mode going into panic mode with a passenger in the car. Help!

    I shouldn't need to enable dog/camp mode though if I just want to sit in my car watching Youtube etc with sentry mode on? I haven't had this problem until very recently but when it happens then it is pretty distressing! Have you ever been sat in your car when it goes into panic mode? It is not...

    Sentry mode going into panic mode with a passenger in the car. Help!

    Hi, lately my M3 has started to go into panic mode when sentry mode is enabled and there is someone else sat waiting in the car. It is a pretty horrible thing to sit through when it activates (full blast heavy music playing through the speakers etc.). We have changed no settings at all and it...

    Just regarding the Sentry mode changes. Have they fixed the playback? It never starts the clip in the right place and it is very fiddly scrubbing through the video to find the right moment.

    Is this the Christmas software update then? Not much to it if it is. I thought they normally did something a bit extra for Christmas? Is there going to be a 2022.48 or something?

    It is because your car is now using Tesla Vision (minimum of 2 instead of 1 on radar) not radar.

    BBC Fake News - Tesla ordered to recall more than a million US cars

    That is awful 😂. I think I have seen his videos and he is super clickbaity. But yeah it is a part of life in general now. A sensational or controversial headline/post/tweet/tiktok will garner you far more attention than expressing an everyday opinion will. It is why so many people act the fool...

    BBC Fake News - Tesla ordered to recall more than a million US cars

    It is factually correct but also deliberately misleading. The BBC know what they are doing. A headline about how a software update is required generates far less clicks one one where a million cars need to be "recalled".

    osprey now £1/kWh

    I'll back him up on that. My previous car was also a BMW X1 and the mileage on it was horrific even when driving cautiously. I would say I got 30-35mpg max out of it. Awful.

    I have not had this AHB issue at all on my car. In the recent night time driving I have done it has behaved exactly as I would expect when AP is enabled. Is there anyone else who hasn't experienced a problem? ( I am on 2022.24.8 by the way).

    2022.20 .6 .7 .8 all crash and require reboot

    Yeah it sounds more like a fault than caused by software updates (especially seeing as no one else has reported similar). I'd be adamant that a service centre take a look ASAP.

    Charging near to Manchester airport

    Oh yeah it's just off the M60 (the ring road around Manchester, like a mini M25), and likely on your route to the airport.

    Charging near to Manchester airport

    Yeah it's SuCs at Trafford Centre or Tesla Stockport. I think there is a BP Pulse one nearer the airport, but I've never tried and and probably wouldn't risk it.

    Coming up to 2,000 miles and averaging 232 Wh/mi That is with no real attempt to be economical either, just driving normally with AC on, leaving sentry on often too. Very impressive.

    Yep, once Q3 deliveries start arriving we take off our training wheels, put on our big boy pants, leave this thread to die, and head out into the big bad world of the rest of the The UK and Ireland section. Scary times indeed. Anyone who makes it to that point without kerbing a wheel wins a prize.

    Of course some bugs slip through. I think we all expect and accept that. An alarm going off like that does seem a particularly bad miss though. How do you miss an alarm going off when you unlock the car FFS! 😂 Strangely I haven't experienced it on my M3RWD, but if I had I wouldn't have been too...

    I've had the "sos emergency call not working" one before, but only when the car was parked somewhere offline and it always seems to disappear once it picks up a signal again. Hopefully the reboot sorts it for you.

    I'm not sure if this is specific to 2022.20.06 but I had my first scary incident using AP the other day. It wasn't phantom breaking, it was more related to Autosteer. I was on the left lane of the motorway. As we drove past one of the exits the car, right at the last minute, pulled hard to the...
