it's such a mess, if they manage to lose customer deposits, fair chance they have no idea where the cars are either

Too many people calling Fisker downfall unfortunate. Myself and many others could see this coming years ago, but the way this business was approached given that all the lessons Tesla and others put on full display for others to learn from, just screams recklessness. Just designing a good...

I agree - to a point. Like all such technology they rely on being able to detect an oncoming vehicle and when that doesn't work they are insanely bright and literally left after-images on my retinas which is outright exceptionally dangerous ... and what about pedestrians, cyclists other road...

2024 - Shouldn't this thread just be deleted now as you basically cannot contact Tesla in any meaningful way? Recent service experience was so loathsome I almost told them to just keep the car ... except I couldn't even contact them to say that. Why Telsa have to go out of their way to make...

lots! in fact LOTS!!! as ever with insurance it is a statistical bet. The insurance company with make money else they wouldn't offer it. Let's say out of £900 pa they make £300, so you are looking at the likelihood of £1800 worth of failures in 3 years. Tesla labour is £150 ph? Mostly the...

yikes (and thanks) - I'd have to join X (Twitter) which I've avoided for years

Ha - didn't work for me. Perhaps you could email him a link to the thread and see if that works?!

Undoubtedly fine for many, but posting this to alert others that Octopus is not the super shiny best customer service supplier ever as their adverts would like you to believe. Total BS in my experience and a massively frustrating disappointment. Like many on here I signed up (technically was...

I'm thinking they have something booked now but clearly this is obviously with external providers/installers and it is now up to them to give a date, still a rubbish experience and costly - I have little hope of any credit/compensation but it is a two rate meter so simple enough to do the math...

lol - have to admit lost the plot there :rolleyes:

Sorry - haven't read all 117 pages! but am I the only one who signed up with Octopus and can't get a smart meter out of them - for months? Tried to book a smart meter on the website - bugs on the website - every link failed Tried to contact them - got told to use the website Tried to contact...

what the figures don't show is that all of the P85D benefit over an 85D is at less than 30mph, ie off-the-line antics. Fun for sure, but above 30mph they're almost identical and this is due to the limitation of the battery to deliver power not the motors. The P90D was a bit better but afaik...

sorry - i don't know the location - but will be under the frunk. you can literally pull the plastic side covers off without removing the frunk part - might be able to see it under there, else you'll have to look under the frunk itself. see if you can google some pics - i would guess on the...

Check the earth stud - this can get corroded and if you get a bad connection all manner of weirdness can ensue.

interesting reading some of the angst over Tesla pricing. Which is exactly the same as every other auto manufacturer really : model updates/stock balancing/EOQ pushes ... except they all hide behind dealers. This is actually the downside of direct web sales, pricing (and price changes) are...

cor haven't been here for a while and it's a bit spicy round here these days. am I allowed to say I'm very slightly mildly miffed as I can't even get a smart meter out of Octopus yet so no smart tariffs for me at all. mind you I do value my sleep, so any interruption might just tip me over the...

Official Tesla Model S Roofrack/Roof bars. Brand New in Box. Unused. Were kindly given to me by Tesla service as an apology for one of Tesla many faux pas. (do please check they fit your particular car as not all Model S are compatible). £100 obo + £15 shipping - UK Mainland only 25% will go...

Man fatally shot during altercation at Tesla charging station, authorities say more to this story no doubt, but please stop killing each other. Live long and prosper - this is the way

I believe (undocumented) the front camera heater is switched on with a single press of the front demister (a long press gives you full demist/fans etc). As for B pillar cameras - meh glwt - they don't have heaters. I care rather less that FSD has not been delivered even if I did pay over the...

referring back to Elon's "EU in summer 2022, Right hand drive markets a few months later" I guess this means that there is no point hoping for FSD in UK until EU have it, after which we have to wait a few (Elon) months for the UK. In the meantime the best we can hope for is the single stack...

impressive to say the least - most especially as there is no gearbox (gives Mate Rimac something to aim at too) brave - as the cars aerodynamics are unknown at those speeds - but if they could record the suspension data this would be valuable info I wonder what the motors' rpm are at that...

Well I just got my M3LR :P (21 plate loaner whilst my MS P is in service) - first time I've had a chance to drive one - and what an excellent car it is, thoroughly enjoyable,- so for those of you in the waiting room I can say it is definitely worth hanging in there. Driven a couple of other...

here you go - it's even in the national press: Smart meter rollout plunged into crisis in fresh blow for net zero probably just a case of who has what stock and where, and some projects may be prioritized eg new housebuilds i guess

More likely just electronics component supply problems causing meter delays Many Smart Meters afaik use Ti parts amongst others and these are a supply chain nightmare at the moment

agree with others 45psi (cold) is where you need to be. Seen exactly this on my cars in the past when I used to run 40-42, since I upped to 45psi problem went away. and please don't run them on the road like this with canvas showing as you cant easily get a blowout - i speak from experience!

came across this app a little while back. Absolutely excellent for me. Remarkably stable in v1.4, some crashes but Tesla browser does that anyway. I can't recommend Teslaa highly enough. I dont use it all the time, but as Tesla dont show the "green google road clear" lines any more (bloody...

if you use the toybox "easter egg" for Ludicrous and get the battery hot enough (~50C), when you Launch properly the left side of the instrument cluster will switch automatically to show power readings. If these are off then you have facts to put to the S/C which are easier to discuss than seat...

well i just got 2022.12.3 (MS Perf with portrait screen) and honestly I am gobsmacked at the unholy mess that v11 still is >3months later. I really dont know what is up with the UI team but honestly it feels like they totally lost the plot. Just as an example - "new feature" you can add...

see this thread HOWTO Model S DIY headlight replacement (no coding required)

anyhows back to the thread topic having just driven from Cambridge area to the north Lake District without needing to charge once and miles to spare, not sure I am that bothered about the SuC network being opened up (very close to rated wh/mi and suitably impressed at that) That will change in...

@ACarneiro - actually I would keep updating - history suggests Tesla make periodic major changes v9-v10-v11 and these are a bit of a mess intially but then subsequent iterations dial out most of the wrinkles. Better actually to anticipate the major changes and hold off on those for a few months...

or the intermediate days when you had to take the from bumper off just to change a cheap lamp?

talk to Rsymons - I believe they have got something set up to service the DRLs Anything earlier than Rev E is pretty much waiting to fail and I believe Tesla are on Rev G now!

usually I reckon to review tire pressures with wear comments like this. # Not sure what tires/wheels you are running but I keep the fronts on 21s and Mich PS4S at 45psi cold; any less and I get exactly the wear you describe.

2022.4.5 and still not back :( I really am not a fan of v11, usually I reckon to learn a new release before commenting but v11 has just been a mess from the getgo especially the new taskbar and HVAC controls. I'm pretty frustrated about it, all the more so as basic howlers are still yet to be fixed.

indeed you can, and you have to tap the screen once to bring up the icon, then again to tap the icon to set north, which is tedious. It is not possible to prevent inadvertant rotate when pinch zooming, the requested setting option is to allow the owner to prevent rotation on pinchzoom/aka fix...

option in map settings to fix north so the map does not accidentally rotate when you try to zoom. And allow the (Model S) instrument cluster to show the local map even when a route is not set. option is setttings for Higher contrast map/theme(s)

in dark mode change the darkest red very slow traffic colour to a brighter one as it can be almost impossible to see

Notification from the app if the car has insufficent charge for the following day's trip (commute if set) in you forgot to put the car on charge of the charge failed for some reason.

with the recent so-called "hack" of Tesla accounts supposedly via compromising user passwords and maybe less well designed apps, what is the best practice (other than don't!) for using 3rd party apps. What should you look for in the way the app is designed, and what is the safest method to...

echo others comments- I received my car with both headlights set too low, in fact the nearside one was so low it was more like it had had a stroke, setting them right made a world of difference simple LIN USB adapter if you want to have a go at a project yourself, mostly LIN is fairly basic...

this effect you mean?

@ericwol - can we dare to hope, or is it doomed? Thanks

Just on the self-levelling - I believe this is not required with air suspension which auto-levels

actually a setting option for font size across the entire UI is desirable Standard/large/largest as per other OS would be an excellent feature. Irrespective of putting that one on the wish list, stupidly small fonts are unacceptable on a car's UI.

@Peter 224 hi, intrigued to discuss what you disagree with as usually we are on the same page? (do consider your experience may be different if you have a M3 with landscape display, mine is MS with portrait display) the MCU crashing on a regular basis is acceptable? Miniscule icons right in...

i just wrote a long post about my experiences with v11 but edited as I thought you would all get bored reading it. in summary <rant> It is a complete cluster **ck of bugs, inconsistencies and outright stupid UI design that has no place in the car. Whoever released this would be safer painting...

came across this thread - "Comprehensive USB bug list" and found 112 pages! probably enough to cover most of them by now. My only wish now is the Tesla would stop breaking more stuff than they fix.

tell me where to send the beer

@Gol4 - hope you enjoying a great festive break - I feel bit self-concious to ask as you haven't charged for your work (donation?) - but did you manage to make time to get the Google skills working again? Please know your work is much appreciated. Maybe you can let us know if the project is in...
