All seems fine for me.

Maybe not a global thing, but the dealership definitely did. "You will get updates and you can buy additional features" and within 6 months a load of those features could not be purchased for iDrive 5. But no, I get your point, there were not massive hoardings over the showroom walls.

I had a new 2016 BMW 2 Series Coupe in the past, and they upgraded iDrive from v5 to v6 in late 2016/early 2017. This was both a hardware and software upgrade and I was left with v5 in my car despite it only being 6-12 months old. I don't see how this is any different in principal - I was still...

I did this myself back in 2022. Ended up back in an EV this Feb. It was the convenience of having a full 'tank' all the time that was the draw for me (running errands without thinking 'do i need fuel on the way') paired with the fact that I rarely do long trips (>200 mile round trip) - maybe 4-5...

Depends what version you use really. V1 I have no experience of V2 is slower and you cannot share stalls (e.g. if 1A is in use, do not use 1B unless absolutely critical as it slows the 'pair'. Cable to short for other brands V3 open to all causes issues as charger is off on one side and so...

Indeed. For all we know it could be the SuC Design team and they have been fired as even after 4 iterations of SuC users are still complaining of shortcomings with the design. Of course, my idea is pure speculation, but its a different way of looking at it.

This feature is likely to use UWB which isnt a component in the Y (yet) which is possibly why the Model Y is omitted from the feature. It is also being touted that it is only for iPhone for the time being, as the implementation of UWB on Android is somewhat more involved/challenging.

Nothing yet. My 2024 M3LR seems to fall a bout 10 days-2 weeks into the update cycle. I get really antsy waiting, watching everyone else get it before me 😏

I know its unlikely to be linked, but have you checked just in case? Its unlikely, but if its the only thing that has changed...

your best bet is to go to the Tesla website, select Charging > Supercharging > Find. Then filter the map to only show Superchargers Open to Other EVs. Link to Supercharger Map Where abouts in North Devon are you headed? I am originally from down that way 🙂

With the resurrection of this thread it prompted me to check the info for my 2024 Model 3 Long Range. I had options for "Model 3 Long Range AWD" or "Model 3 Long Range AWD 491" as my options and opted for the "AWD" one (with no number). Looking at the V5 now that I have the car, the Max. net...

Surely it would only be a pain/problem on the occasions that it is on charge 🙂 How long have you left the phone still when you have been testing it? Both iOS and Android use the motion/activity data to 'sleep' the key if the phone is not moving - on iOS it will ask for this permission, on...

Thanks @GlynG :) I very much love my cars and care for them whilst I have them. Sadly I regularly get my head turned by something, want it, and get it... then wish I still had the old car, so its nice to keep pictures of them to look back on. I wouldn't say I ever regret getting rid of the old...

Yeah, if you have time on your side it is always good to take your time and be cautious :) I've just edited my last post to also reply to this - explaining how it all works. Most people collecting from Longbridge I would think will be BG - though I might be wrong and the second part of the...

I'd say the June date looks hopeful. When it goes to a narrower time frame it generally means they have a better idea of when the car is going to be arriving in the UK.

I think, but don't quote me on it, that Tesla use a weird bank (maybe Citibank) and so the account verification doesn't work. I think I had the same when ordering both of my Model 3's. I'd just double and triple check that all of the information matches that which has been provided by Tesla...

I'm too much of a scaredy cat. I'll only do the ones which are legal.. I'm in Lincolnshire so "home of the traffic cop".

I agree. If that Nissan Arya had a charge port on the other side (front or rear), assuming they are not a Tesla owner/driver as well, they would have used the charger on the Offside of the car rather than the one they are pictured using. As @zexpe has stated, its as much about habit/lack of...

Could also be a case of "if it is not central, it may not be obvious which charger to use". Some pics of other V4s I have seen show chargers have been installed in similarly to V2/V3s where they are in line with the lines of the bays so not obvious which to use. I imagine some will be because...

I'm intrigued by the answers to these myself tbh. I was unaware of any of the issues you have mentioned, and I was intending to get the rear 1/2 of my M3H tinted in the coming months. Will be watching the answers with anticipation.

I think the only way you will know what is best for your personal circumstances is if you were able to get a test drive in a Performance when they finally arrive over here.

Maybe I am not giving the workers enough credit, but unless they have done a lot of installs or own a Tesla themselves, they probably don't know the difference. We are probably better of asking "does it/do they have the big hole in the middle or is it a 'solid' white box?" Like I say though...

I have no idea why they are called 4D, I didn't name them... but there is a differentiation between 3D and 4D. 4D has a "stand off" letter/number, where are 3D are sort of domed. I would say it likely is 'both' tbh. Some people may like 3D/4D but don't like the faff of how to mount them.

Personal preference really, different people like different things. Same reason that some people might buy a pink shirt, and another guy might think it is hideous. I would imagine it is a combination of things. Maybe partly the contours of the car (especially on the front) making it difficult...

I personally prefer 4D plates to 3D, but I will likely get standard rear and vinyl front when I get around to it.

I bought mine on HP (as a stop gap) with a deposit of 35k. My bank (NatWest) had the same restriction in place... though the website portal told me to do it in the app. Same issue arose in the app, but it had an option to "Continue with one time large sum transfer" (or something like that)

Not to be sniffed at... I had a VTR ahed of the 2010's that this thread set as the start date... loved it, but always longed for a VTS!

If we are doing to date I need to add: BMW 218i M Sport Ford Kuga ST-Line BMW 320i Touring Mazda MX-5 (ND) Tesla M3LR Land Rover Discovery 5 2.0L Land Rover Discovery 5 3.0L Land Rover Defender 110 2.4 Puma Hardtop VW Golf GTD Tesla M3H LR I get cold feet with card very quickly. I have had 26...

Maybe I am an edge case here, but when I bought my M3LR back in 2021 I was not tempted by the M3P - I didn't need the power and the styling upgrades were mediocre. With this in mind I ordered a M3LR in November expecting to feel the same about the new M3P, and to a degree I kind of wish I...

W When you say 'posh' red, do you mean Cherry Red (which is only available on Y)? Because Ultra Red, which is the one available on M3H, S and X is available on this M3P.

So, depending how far into the early 2010's we are going I had: 1.2 Polo "Moda" VW Bora 1.4 Polo (90s breadvan shape) Audi S3 VW Up! (This would have been about 2014 as I'd just moved to the city) MX-5 Hardtop convertible

I'm the same... I always turned it off, but I am now annoyed that it doesn't work on the odd occasion if I wanted it to. It also annoys me as that functionality took away the ability to set TACC/Autosteer speed to the current speed limit when changing zones.

What is even more weird is that they have left the sound/mute icon on the speed limit icon. Its as if they wanted to stop it working quickly so just deleted the sound file for the bong.

If you were having issues with SuC, could you potentially have sought out an 11kW AC Charger? Not ideal for you/your passengers but better than being stuck on a hard shoulder had you have run out of juice 🙂 Just playing devils advocate, I do get it as (like @debrooker) I get twitchy under 10%...

Thats right, yeah. I got 100 miles for "lower than we wanted" SoC at delivery - those had an expiration of 3rd August, so I had been trying to wait until august to buy my 3,000 miles so I had until next February to use them. When I saw this post I panicked and bought the 3,000 SuC Miles and the...

I would guess that it is an indication of the Dashcam recording?

Thanks for this George, Really useful info. I had been holding off redeeming my credits for SuC miles as I thought the 6 months would "layer" (e.g. Original date was August, and if I redeemed in April it would only push out until October). The fact that it tacks a further 6 months on to the end...

They are the same thing. FSD 11.4.9 is the FSD version within v11.1 (2024.8.9). Think of it as if FSD were an App and the UI is the operating system (like iOS or Android). The App is one version, the car's MCU software is another. No need to apologise, I was likely overthinking it, but thanks...

That is FSD V11.4.9 not UI version. v11.1 in your car/app is the UI version. Can you clarify what you mean here, as I am a little confused by the double negative. Do you mean a decline in the efficacy of FSD/TACC e.g. The experience has declined, or do you mean an improvement (decline in it...

The best advise in my opinion of is that of @GRiLLA - Check the Energy App, it will tell you where your power is going. I note you said about forgetting Sentry and turning it off - did you turn it off in the car or the app? If in the app, it will revert to on the next time that you use the car...

It makes more sense in the US where FSD is actually FSD, you can look on the screen and make sure the car can see what you can see and use that to intervene early if you spot that the car hasnt detected something. I mean, we are not in the US, and I do not have FSD, but that would be my...

I think @GeorgeSymonds point in the thread is on the money, personally. If the actual features are still delivered, does a new look and feel really matter? When your tap springs a leak, what matters more - stopping the leak, or having a shiny new tap? Just my two pennies worth.

I would have to disagree, I had a brand new 2 Series BMW back in March 2016, in 2017 they upgraded the iDrive system to the next iteration and after that point I could not get any of the new features. It was one of the (many) reasons I ended up getting rid of it. It will likely be exacerbated...

Its a game of chance, I had intended to do similar with my M3 - I wanted to buy it outright, but was waiting on inheritance. I was told that I could order it and when I was matched I could push it back by 20 days, and then again by another 20 days, after which if I did not take it my order would...

I believe you can set this via the App, but not directly in the car. Would be good to see it as configurable in the car. Edit: Looks like it is configurable in the car already: Link, Though it seems to be a global limit rather than 'tap a button to set the limit to current speed'

As an extension to this - powered boots came about (from Legacy Automakers) to resolve the issue of approaching the boots with your hands full, as the funk isn't powered, it popping but not opening doesn't resolve this issue. That said, I can see the appeal of it what with the Frunk not having...

I USED to find it really useful, until it started telling me to "keep right" at every sodding exit on the motorway 😤

I thought exactly this, from the image it looks to be trying to replicate the layout used by Cybertruck when it is in Park. I do like the layout, as you do not really need the map taking up so much screen when stopped. I'm somewhat hoping the larger imagery also means bigger area to tap for...
