It was my fault really. I didn't close the door firmly and had push notifications turned off. Don't know why. Anyway, when I came back those are the two most expensive things that were taken. Should i bite the bullet and fork out £250 for another mobile charger? I've begun charging at home...

Is fishtailing when not driving very fast an indication that the rear wheels need to be replaced? I’m not sure whether it’s this or something to do with the hot weather but it’s been happening a lot.

Let's not lose focus on the bears.

I am very lost. I bought a M3 in December of 2021 via my company (of which I am sole director) not knowing that I'd be going abroad travelling the next year. I live and have property in London but I also have an Irish passport and I've been travelling round Europe. I took the car because I...

RIght hand drive Model 3 from the UK. A tesla service centre is quoting me ~530 Euros to replace it. It seems steep but I’ve not much to compare it to. I do remember that when I looked at getting a scratched skull cap replaced I found somewhere willing to send me one for about ten quid so...

A lot of them seem to need a roof rack; all I want is something that I can put up quickly to give me a bit of shade and, perhaps attach to the car. Here are a few I've found; this is 92 quid and I'm skeptical. w the actual f ... ? this calls itself a gazebo and looks like a massive...

Good shout. But if I do need an extension cable; I have a heavy duty UK one so perhaps I can just order some of these> https://toughleads.co.uk/collections/ev-electric-vehicle-extension-leads/products/ev-granny-charger-indoor-travel-adaptors?variant=39376187326552

Thanks! :) Yeah. I was, ideally, trying to not have to buy separate extension leads and adaptors for Italy, France & Switzerland though.

Thanks. I was hoping to find a way to do it without having to buy extension leads and adaptors for France, Denmark, Italy & Switzerland. I wonder if I can buy a high current adaptor.

Yeah I could but then I'd also need one for Italy etc. And an extension too.

I did search and read but there are so many acronyms and I can't seem to find a straight answer. It wants me to buy all sorts of adaptors but then I'd also have to buy extension leads since I don't know how far I'll be away from power in an AirBNB. Going from tesla cable to Uk adaptor to...

Oh yes, do please report back. I took a trip to Liverpool with CarPlay on an Android tablet and dismantled it by the first stop at Marks and Spencers. It's not worth it Imo. Shame though. Will wait for better solution.

Didn't make a difference. I'm reading through his thread again.

I know I know. I just keep coming back to the fact that I'd have to buy a dongle. I want someone to use it for a month and let me know how they got on!

THANKS!

Yeah I tried that. It just crashes the app for me. I figured it was to return to the car settings (if it were on a regular head unit)

Brilliant. Thanks.

Ok everyone! I have my Android 8 plus and a Carlinkit CPC200-CCPA. It is .... ok. I need to preface this with the fact that I am running Beta 2 of iOS 16 so it's VERY possible these are problems linked to that. However here are my problems/questions and I wondered whether anyone else had had...

Does anyone know how to get a Fire HD tablet to start the AutoKit app upon connection to my phone?

They’re very very low power. Also the shape of my iPhone mini means they always lose connection. And I want to use Waze and have the iPhone higher

It's this part that I hate. There must be an easy way to get the cable down through the dash

Yep all I want to do is fish a cable from the dash down to the usb charger. Hard.

Looking for a better way to do it. that's also the older version I think.

Hero

This is great and what I’m doing. However, does anyone have a more graceful way of getting the cable from the dash to the side of the centre console ? I’m not averse to unscrewing or even cutting a hole

With this in mind, I'm determined to get CarPlay into my M3. I'd like to get something that is wide and could mount on or under the display. The Tesla screen is apparently 13.812" wide which is 350.82mm This screen on AliExpress is 350mm wide. It's also sold without the case. That...

Thanks!

I've thought about this. I think there's no way this is ever going to happen.

WWDC; new version of CarPlay looks amazing. Makes me loathe Tesla's UI so much more.

ok. Now THAT would work. If it were one device. That provided charge to my phone while also providing internet to the Pi (and the car) then that would be an instant buy for me. Tethering to my phone is unreliable anyway tbh. God I wish someone would just reverse engineer the connection to...

Looks great but, if I'm reading this correctly, i need to Raspberry Pis and a modem and a data service constantly running?

I'm gonna follow my bliss* through continental Europe. I don't know whether this will actually happen but I like the *idea* of being able to sleep in my car. I know that I'm meant to find places that will allow me to sleep but let's just say - hypothetically - for the sake of argument - by the...

This is SO cool. Can your mum help me too? I'm trying to find a cover for the tesla that has an opening for the ventilation (camp mode) and also a gap/transparent part for the sunroof.

Just knowing it's down there though. Imagine if we'd just left Richard III in that carpark in Leicester. This is precisely the same thing and an apt comparison.

Strong reply!

Guys. A while ago I ate pasta inside the car at an M&S petrol station near Stansted airport because my friend's flight was late and I'd already taken the wrong exit at the roundabout and had to paid a tenner just to go straight through Stansted pick up and I didn't want to do it again. Anyway...

Maaaan I wish someone would hack video in

thanks for this. I’m still holding out for a stand-alone CarPlay unit probably from coral vision. I don’t understand why apple won’t either let me turn my phone into CarPlay or allow me to use an old iPad. The jailbreak hacks are not good :(

shhhhhh

Yes. It’s me. :)

In London there's no subscription model to even try it out and even if there were I don't think it's ready here yet. (FSD)

Oh thank god. I was worried I was going to be told my driving sucked! It's so awful and embarrassing if someone else is in the car. It's the equivalent of the car suddenly yelling at you "what the hell do you think you're doing?" It'd be one thing if it slowed down or stopped. But the beeps...

I'm a careful driver. Driving in London means driving down two lane streets with cars parked either side turning the whole thing into a one lane street which you have to navigate. There are busses that you have to indicate and move around. Basically everything is very tight. Each time I've...

If Hanshow came out with a standalone thing that wasn't a big install and could just sit below the display I think I'd buy it. Meanwhile Coral Vision seem to be coming out with a "dual bluetooth" motorbike version??? So perhaps there's more on the way. I feel like we're on the cusp of...

Wow. They do this thing where they either have the price at X and shipping as 0 or Hve the price and the shipping both at 0.5x

I can’t find any alternatives that aren’t the flimsy-jam-under-the-steering-wheel kind. Here’s the sort of one I’m looking for. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtHdAhk The non-generic ones are eighty (eighty!) quid.

Yeah I can't afford a Hansshow ;( Keeping eyes peeled!

Mine are ok. (M3 2020) I’ve not noticed your issues. However I have noticed that exact thing on the wireless qi charging. I thought it was my iPhone being misaligned but I’ve tried everything and even when it says charging and doesn’t move, it will stop randomly. Perhaps there’s one power...
