    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    Just to confirm, based on a short drive this morning, after the update 2023.6.8, it seems my issue is also resolved- I will still monitor to make sure the recent warm weather is not also a contributor.

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    I share exactly the same experience with you both. However despite all this, in my case virtual service team and SC think that the steering rack needs to be replaced (part ready) funnily enough prior to the proper check/diagnosis booked for the next couple of weeks. In the meantime I shall see...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    Thanks! 👍 Hope all goes well... I think if it was problem which could be resolved via software update, perhaps Tesla would be focusing on this and delay or avoid steering rack replacements - perhaps SR replacement is the ultimate solution. The other day I had to use defrost mode at the highest...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    It is really getting confusing for me…by the looks of it they are aware of the problem because they say so and furthermore they claim they are working on the solution (software update???) but at the same time they are asking people to report to escalate up the chain, they are replacing or...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    While still waiting for my next SC appointment on this issue, I received a Tesla message informing me that they had ordered the part, expect to be ready by then and an email asking me to review & accept the service estimate which btw doesn’t include wheel alignment after all that🙄. I find it...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    good luck-Would be interested to hear how it goes. I had a few long journeys this weekend and noticed a big difference especially on motorway. My experience was that the lane keeping on motorway was dead straight but, the steering was very clunky ie the steering wheel felt as if it only wanted...

    M3 LR Steering wheel feels funny

    I agree with your comments. One issue I find hard to accept is that they promoted the vehicles as future proof in terms of hardware related to FSD-if the chip business is as we understand, then clearly we are short changed and they misrepresented the specs / future capability. The resale value...

    Sudden sound / volume spike while transitioning from Media/YouTube to Radio / FM

    Good to know👍 Considering the fact that there is even a “Joe” mode for sensitive 👂 yes it does cause anxiety not to mention the kids, especially when not expected.

    Sudden sound / volume spike while transitioning from Media/YouTube to Radio / FM

    From day one, I get a sudden and almost deafening volume spike when I transition from a YouTube video to the radio on my MY. Had it checked at the SC and they confirmed the issue but they stated that it is something to do with the different transmissions ie one is radio and the other is over the...

    Steering wheel not able to drive straight

    MYsep22 - Have the same issue - haptic / mouse scroll button like notchy feel at low speed steering or when stationary - which started a couple of weeks ago, around the time when we had the steering wheel heating adjustment added via the latest software (I think?). Over the phone I was told it...

    Further to add on to my public charging experience; on one occasion we couldn’t find a Shell Recharge Station (in South Devon with 16 chargers), even after checking with the locals including other EV drivers in the neighbourhood, despite it appearing on both Google Maps and other charging app...

    Done about 1.3K miles since mid September some of which were long trips. In total average 275wh/mi. Overall very pleased with the MY and looking for every opportunity excuse to drive around. We seem to spend more time out and about after getting this car ☺️. I did a few supercharging during the...

    Didn’t know that - have you managed to book yours to be replaced? I may need to add it onto my SC items list. In that case there are potentially thousands of cars for SC visit because every single vehicle I checked during my collection day had this issue. Thanks for the heads up!

    During collection I noticed this on mine and many others. TA reassured me that it was normal and pointed out a tiny hole on the surface of the tail light as part of the design.

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    I must admit, I feel nervous using the AP or the TACC because of similar experiences almost daily. It can be very unpredictable - I suppose this is due to many factors surrounding the vehicle and it feels like I am not really in control (ie unable to avoid / predict any unnecessary / dangerous...

    How bad is the phone key issue? I sometimes also struggle to unlock/open rear or front passenger doors with the phone in my pocket. When I take it out and hold it near to the door for a few moments then it works….but I have not received any tire warning… I am daunted with the idea of raising a...

    Sorry to hear about your experience. It is concerning as could happen to any of us. If purchased on finance you may want to approach Financial Ombudsman to discuss your options.

    Yep, there is also that-indecisive objects and sometimes parked cars appearing in awkward angles relative to the vehicle. Btw it is brave of you to give it a go at a drive thru ☺️I am still avoiding navigating around tight spots until I fully grasp the perimeters of the vehicle especially...

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    To add on to the experience seeking/sharing questions; I find the AP sensors/cameras a little bit unpredictable, for example it recognises some of the objects near by or vehicles ahead of you (especially the ones not in the direction of travel but oncoming or around/ parked or approaching from...

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    So, finally today we are officially on IO after a month of switch and meter access issues…the octopus app suggests that I need to plug in the car after 5pm for a plan to be created. However as soon as I connect the Tesla wall charger it starts charging. The only setting I have is that the...

    While searching for the accelerator noise issue noticed that there are other threads as well.It seems to be as expected. On a separate note; I’ve just found out that there is a section in the owner’s manual under Normal Operating Sounds and describes the sound on hold which is somewhat a bit...

    Great observation, hence it was in a bracket ☺️ thanks for the response - I wonder if anyone else have the same issue as it is hard to notice unless it is dead silent in the car just before the hold/brakes kick in? Accordingly I will get the e-pedal/ accelerator checked.

    I hear a mechanical click sound from the “gas” pedal every time when the car transitions to stationary position (on hold mode). Does anyone have similar observation?

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    Almost a month and counting since the sign up as a new Octopus customer on flexible tariff and 2 weeks or so since initiating the IO. Today finally meter reading is showing on the app but apparently they still can’t see it at their end so, waiting continues. Hopefully they will sort it out by...

    WRT the auto / window wiper erratic issue shared earlier, i am not sure if it contributes but just for info (I am sure most of you are already aware), even if the wipers are set as “off” from the controls, they are switching to “auto” every time when the TACC or AP is activated.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    It is hard to comment as it is a very much personal choice but I would wait for a replacement - I wouldn’t be keen to get a brand new car with all the touch ups/re-paint from day one if the wait was not an issue.

    Unfortunately couldn’t prove anything was wrong with the fitting and ended up claiming from the insurance. I guess they should be able to order 19” Hankook’s as well - still great to know, thanks👍

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    Glad it is sorted, thanks for sharing . Good to know Kwik Fit network is an option. Is it exactly the same spec Hankook as the original tyres? I once had to get a windshield replaced on a brand new car with a couple of 100 miles on the clock - it just cracked all of a sudden without any...

    I am trying to figure out the AP myself as well and made few comments earlier in my posts about the phantom breaking. Just a wild guess- If you have no EAP I would be surprised if it deliberately attempted to take the slip road, therefore it is most likely something to do with the lines and it’s...

    Congratulations to all who have collected their Mys recently. I recall reading some comments a while ago that people were getting additional stand alone Road Side Assistance (RSA) as well. Can I please seek opinions on the RSA included with MYs? Is anyone considering getting additional RSa...

    I have basic AP with my MY and trying to use it pretty much all the time as much as it is safe and possible to do so. I noticed it is unpredictable especially in the city and on A/B roads to a degree that it almost suddenly slows down when there are pedestrians on the pavements or detects an on...

    With the double glazed windows mentioned above; I noticed the front windows are proper double glazed but the rear windows for some reason are not, in a sense that they are kind of 1.5 x glazed- the inner layer is much thinner hence looking sideways you can see and feel the the level difference...

    Thanks, my MY has long (seems more than needed as they keep hitting speed bumps etc) ones fitted. I am not quite sure what others were reporting as included with their deliveries - perhaps theirs not fitted but included to be fitted DIY as an option? Or additional shorter versions / may be spare...

    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    Would be great if it is not any trouble for you please? It seems as if RhS’s movement is limited outwards (perhaps due to having WiFI antenna?) and does stop almost where I want too but for some reason if you wish to see further out it does not adjust pass the door handles as much as the LHS...

    I noticed today that RHS/driver side mirror does not adjust any further to right than - looking back at the mirror - pass driver and rear door handles. LHS/passenger mirror on the other hand extends almost infinitely to the left. Did anyone notice the same difference with their MY mirrors?

    Every day! As there is a ramp on my street and haven’t managed to avoid it no matter which angle or speed I tried! Are spare/extension (?) mud flaps supposed be received at collection within the boot/frunk? There were not any with mine?

    So, I am collecting the car in less than 24 hrs but the smart meter access issue hasn’t been yet sorted since the beginning of September as new customer on flexible…I followed up a few times with Octopus and they seem to be tirelessly working to resolve the firmware issue since then. IO switch...
