If you're going straight in with a wet rag onto grime then that's gonna swirl up like a beaut. A good wash routine shouldn't enhance swirls.

Check warranty/guarantee on original repair work carried out, if they're doing the same job again you may be able to get it free on this basis. Although it sounds like the issue may be different. Your other option is to get the parts quoted for the repair and find a local mechanic but they may...

This kit is available in the UK, I had some success with it. You can have mine as I won't use it anymore, just DM me if you're interested. My main affected areas are the rear triangle window, it's made from a different stamped metal apparently. This product cleared it from one side but not from...

I was going to get a RWD but a cheap high mileage older model AWD came up that I grabbed. I'm so glad I went with it because the sound system is absolutely incredible, I had under-estimated the difference a sub and full speaker array makes. I hope you get the same level of sound and enjoyment...

Interesting. To my mind there's not enough foam on that car, when I use my foam pressure washer attachment it whites out completely, same as how he uses it in this video. So then I wonder if you could put out more foam, but you'll either run out of charge or foam mix. I'm tempted to order and...

Good point. For me though that's as/more stressful than driving it myself, still having take in and assess all that info and awaiting the inevitable F-up.

I agree, it's such a strange feature to show full screen. It's not additional useful info. Gimme full screen map or ultra minimal just speed, gears, lights etc anyday. A more customisable driving screen would be fun.

To me the main feature that's already going to decide that is the ghost parking (HiFi) There was an engineer on Twitter saying it was coming to ours but my suspicion is it's permanently benched. That's a significant feature IMO, other cars have birds eye etc, sure we have USS which is good but...

I think I can live without this.

Includes an operator. I'll finally be able to make use of the frunk.

You know what they say... Big car...big ... Processor?

When I bought my latest Pixel 7a second hand I was very pleased to see it came with 5 years of updates. Now I sit with a car that I also bought second hand, it's had updates of various significance and it's coming up to 4 years old. Perhaps I should be pleased for any kind of support, I'd just...

If I can retro my 2020 for the newer MCU as well as heated wheel I could see myself holding onto it for much longer.

I think your villagers worry that if someone is hit the difference between 20 and 30 or 35 is literally life and death. That's why there's a lot of twenty's plenty signs near me, and when it's school clearing out time and I drive past the primary in my mind a child is at the edge of each parked...

The who? My favourite thing was the filter lifespan for China being so much shorter than rest of world. China's air quality 😶‍🌫️.

I agree it's a small amount but I noticed it. It might depend how you drive it, I like more responsiveness and small quick movements. It's not deal-breaker bad, just not as engaging as my 2020. A small degree. Someone on this forum said they prefer the new ratio as the old one was too...

Hard full press on the accelerator overrides. This seems like a baby step towards autonomous vehicles, speed limiting all cars. Personally I don't like it as I think there's more significant variables that determine my driving speed than one limit can account for. I've always found them a bit...

I don't think they have to for older cars, it's cars sold from now, and I believe they already comply through notification. They may still roll out something for all models, who knows. I can't find strict gov regulation for this though so it's all a bit hearsay, partly based on EU law.

Interestingly this became Europe law in 2022 and now in the UK - So is it enough for Tesla to comply by giving a notification rather than physically limit the speed?

My understanding is Tesla treats service history as personal info tied to the owner, I couldn't access it when I bought mine second hand. The car company said No History and that was the case for all their Teslas. There's not really anything that needs servicing on a Tesla, that's a mind change...

Why not just touch the bottom of the physical port?

Cue "To me! ... To you!" slapstick boot opening/closing as I get bags from a nearby shopping cart. Who am I kidding, I'm never seeing this feature. So far my experience of useful updates is "press once for Autosteer", hardly groundbreaking. So much for "Gets better over time" splattered 9 foot...

Gotta keep the five UK X 2021+ owners happy. I've literally never seen one outside of the showroom.

It might not need UWB. Most phones have motion sensors so can tell the phone app when you've stopped moving and then it just needs to know you're roughly at the boot area. I don't have UWB and have to get close to the door for it to unlock so it seems feasible. Could be wrong though, it's a...

Where's my HiFi parking camera? I have the technology 🤔

I test drove a RWD Highland a while back and the steering felt noticeably sloppy/sluggish, I then found an article explaining it's because the steering gear ratio was changed. Makes it easier to drive on motorways but IMO less fun and nippy. However I don't know whether that change applies to...

They called me in for a coolant leak warning. I never had the warning on screen but they said it could be serious. Turns out that person has no technical knowledge and was just reading old outdated warnings so I spent the day sitting around waiting for them to tell me there's no coolant issues...

Guys just read the manual, page 42 paragraph J.3 - 1. Turn your head to your passenger. 2. Say "I literally can't see the road" 3.Make this gesture - The wipers will then wipe once. Repeat as necessary. Dunno what everyone's complaining about.

Interested to know how you get on with this, I thought about getting something similar but concluded it wouldn't give full coverage from one bottle. Ended up getting a cheap snow foam adapter for my pressure washer and it works very well.

My main routine is 1. Foam 2. Rinse 3. Shampoo 4. Rinse 5. Towel dry Products - Bilt Hamber Touchless foam in foam gun on pressure washer Bilt Hamber Shampoo in ONE bucket with grit guard and ONE noodle mitt (fight me 😝) Plush microfibre towels for drying. I also use Bilt Hamber Double Speed...

DIY or SC? And where you buying them? And does the car just know they're matrix? I'm 2020 LR.

I use Bilt Hamber Cleanser Fluid to deep clean the paint and prep it for waxing. Removes old wax. Should be an equivalent IPA panel cleaner type thing if you can't get exactly this but I highly recommend Bilt products.

I got the trim wrapped in matte colour shift so it changes depending on viewing angle. Hard to get the effect across in pictures but you can see the possible spectrum.

Barely enough time for a piss at that rate.

Same thing happens. Say it's set to 3 by auto. Voice command will turn it off but as soon as auto decides the level needs changing it resumes auto.

It's a comprehensive list but still doesn't work if you've got seat heaters on auto.

Ok I've gone down a rabbit hole and found out I can use voice commands to - Control each rear seat heater individually, eg "rear left seat low/medium/high/off" Front vent commands - "Vent left/middle/right/up/down" turns both accordingly "Split vent" fully split both vents. These commands can...

I tried a lot of commands. A lot of them oddly would just turn seat heat to high... I can control climate manual/auto with voice commands. I'll send it as a ticket because I don't see why we shouldn't be able to do this.

Thanks. So using voice you can't exit auto seat heaters, or is there a specific command I could use?

Good info, didn't know about that, not a physicist :p It's hard to ignore the numbers when we're given so much detailed data but I think it's better for peace of mind and calm journeys :) Maybe someone can help you improve it but it seems unlikely that a trailer will have zero effect. Now the...

Posted in main model 3 forum but I don't think it's as active as here so trying here - Seat heater set to auto. Voice command "turn off seat heater" Icon becomes greyed out (still says auto) A few seconds later it returns to heating. Anyone else experiencing this? Known bug or raise a ticket?

Probably this my dude. Bigger wheels are worse for EV efficiency, I assume the same for trailers. I took a ~10% hit by choosing the 19s over 18s. Then if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction I can lose another 10%! If you're stopping to charge anyway and don't need it for one super long...

No solutions from me I'm afraid! I dunno what's best for people. They usually figure something out themselves when listened to properly 🙂

I listen to people and their problems.

I'm researching the easiest way to qualify for a blue badge at this point. I've seen some young and abled people blue badging it up with their expensive and un-dinged cars. 😝.

Yes they cover it and move it somewhere else to let it burn out. I'd like to see that parade go past...!

Good catch, I can't believe I watched the whole video a while back and still didn't really understand the purpose. Old habits die hard it seems.

Special blanket, starves it of oxygen Isolates/controls it so it can burn out safely.

GF wished I got mine in red but I love the grey (2020 model). When we went to see the new Highlands I saw the new ultra red and think it's great, definitely would consider that colour now. The depth and richness is lovely compared to the old flat plastic looking red. I also saw the new grey and...
