    Dashcam - help me understand its use

    The dashcam only keeps about 10 minutes of footage whilst driving. It does not continuously record the entire journey and commit to memory like you want it too. When you witnessed the event you wanted to store into USB memory, you should have told it to store it by pressing the dashcam button...

    Premium Connectivity - is it worth it?

    In my case, premium connectivity is not worth it. I don't need a satellite view and already have my own family Spotify subscription. I believe the route planner does take into account live traffic information, I just can't see it. For example, saw a build-up of traffic at M1 by Meadowhall...

    [UK] Anyone else considering refusing delivery by of Model Y? (USS)

    If I was in your position, personally, I would cancel/delay until more HW4 details are released or confirmed in UK cars. Even If it means missing a quarter release. If Tesla's release cycle was an anime, cars released right now with a lack of USS using HW3 is the filler arc.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Sentry is indeed a battery drain. A few things for you to check: a) There are settings to disable sentry at Home or Work b) Do you use an Easy Entry profile? You'll need to adjust your sentry settings under that profile too as that's what it'll switch to after parking. c) Repeatedly checking...

    Flexibility in collection day?

    There may be an issue if your collection window is right at the end of the financial quarter. Delays past the quarter-end date are a no-go zone from what I've read here.

    Security of Phone/Card/Key?

    Oh yes, I've purposefully left my phone in several rooms and have still been able to walk outside and unlock the door during my investigation. In one scenario about 10m away from the kitchen if the front door is wide open. Really goes without saying. 😄

    Security of Phone/Card/Key?

    I have an issue with my phone key being able to unlock my door whilst I'm inside my house and the car is parked on the driveway. Maybe my phone broadcasts Bluetooth too strongly, the walls are too thin, or the Tesla is too sensitive but while my app says the car is locked if my phone is in the...

    I've had my MY for about a month now, so here's a little update. Usually, these posts are filled with complaints as this is the internet after all. But overall "Gandalf the Grey" has performed brilliantly. I use to fill up on petrol once a week, but now I charge every 3rd day on Octopus Go...

    Uk Blackouts & Octopus Go

    1. You're quoting the Daily Mail 2. Industry will be shut down before homes. Industry being a massive consumer of gas already. 3. The United Kingdom has proven reserves equivalent to 2.6 times its annual consumption. 4. Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all this to blow over

    Tesla asking for votes on SuperCharger locations [UK and Ireland]

    Exactly, Tesla only needs to look at where Teslas don't go and where there are no chargers nearby. This is a textbook case for survivorship bias. Survivorship bias - Wikipedia In my opinion, this is why Malton on the east coast is a very good suggestion.

    [uk] UltraSonic Sensors removal/TV replacement performance

    Removal of the USS wouldn't be so bad if they got the birds eye 360 view working. But that means the additional cost of cameras facing the near and driver side front bumper to eliminate those blind spots. Since money is the primary driver here, I'll mark that feature request down as 'coming...

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    Picked up yesterday at Manchester Trafford. Turned up 30 minutes early, no queue at all and slowly made my way through the check list. Everything looked good externally, just a small smudge on a rear seat that wiped away. Car was at 52% charge. Very pleased with the process

    You'll find a hidden VIN on your Tesla account page before they officially inform you (by text in my case). You could just wait for the official notification and live in blissful ignorance or look for the VIN and get some sort of advanced notice.

    That's normal it seems. Send a small test payment first and watch it show it a few hours later to be safe.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    June MY deliveries from Shanghai came with the parcel shelf shortly after they appeared on the MiG cars. So there is a remote chance these SEP MY cars from Shanghai also would receive some updates.

    They gave me Jun 26 to Jun 30, then it went to July! They're literally dangling some bait in front of you and slowly reeling it away so you keep that shred of hope.

    You can get a VIN right up into the very end of Sep as there is a possibility of being allocated a car someone else had rejected.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Agree this seems like the new normal. They'll provide a range that narrows towards the end of the quarter's delivery window, Then hop over to the next month to allocate the rejected cars in the country. Then jump to following quarter. This is the way.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Welcome! This sounds normal for lease customers. Even when Tesla does eventually deliver cars to Arval, Arval still has to assign you a car amongst its own customers (and in no particular order). You are actually fighting two battles.

    Has Shanghai switched back to M3 production? Is this why I haven't seen many MY EDDs past 20th Sep in UK?

    I must admit I was a little worried when I read the Shanghai plant was switching back to M3 production to churn out some more before the end of quarter. But today my EDD changed to September 06 - September 20 and I've found a hidden VIN!

    For my own sanity's sake with regard to that last sentence. Is it in your professional judgement that the departure window is now closed for further European deliveries (including the UK) for the end of September?

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Thank you all for your insights. My primary driver is definitely financial and my secondary is resilience (power cuts).

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    I'm just starting to look at solar + battery for my home, but my initial concern is by the time the system has paid for itself, the panels are already at their end of life and require replacing. Am I just incredibly wrong in my assumption?

    I pray there are enough ships to transport this unprecedented flurry of cars being manufactured. If there isn't, would Tesla instead opt to dedicate those ships they do have to make multiple shorter deliveries in Asia than in Europe?
