Yep, the only way to stop Russia from attacking you is to stop defending yourself from their attacks. Makes total sense.

Sounds more like creaking than clicking, in which case could be upper control arms. M3 and MY parts very similar but part numbers and spec. can be slightly different. These notes apply to either model though.

It's further than you may want to go but you'll get an outstanding service from Joe, who has vast experience with alignment and working on Teslas. https://carservicerepairs.com/

Not much drag racing goes on in EU, hence there are very few drag strips and not many owners will be that interested in knowing how ther car does over 1/4 mile. There is a meet being planned at Santa Pod in the UK in a couple of week's time which might have one or two Highlands turning up so...

That's not accurate information. The prosecution threshold varies from force to force. If you're 1 mph over you could still be prosecuted if you are in a particularly draconian area. It's also more likely a force will set the threshold lower than "10%+2%" in a 20 zone than, say a motorway.

The "junk product" in this case is the HUD not the Tesla.

Had a look at a UK-spec. Highland today and there's obviously more reinforcement where the MC attaches to the firewall and it hardly moved when someone pressed the brake pedal hard, so I doubt a brace will improve things much TBH.

Do you find those generate a lot of road noise?

Earlier today I had the opportunity to drive a UK spec Highland M3P around a fast track for a few laps. The biggest issue was the battery overheating earlier than we've ever had with the Fremont-built 2019/20 M3Ps several of us are running on track here. The only way I could monitor pack...

Or maybe not. Depending on who you believe... https://www.nknews.org/2024/06/fact-check-north-korea-has-not-announced-plans-to-send-troops-to-ukraine-yet/

And stick to bottled water. Definitely no tea.

What war? Everything is fine and the SMO is proceeding as planned, I've been told.

The rear dampers have always been the weakest point with the original Model 3. Personally, I'd forget about the Teins and fit Highland dampers all round.

My last ICE car's range was about the same as my Model 3. I never bothered referring to the estimated range on the trip computer in that and I don't look at estimated range in my Model 3 now. Sure, I use ABRP now if I'm going on a long trip so I plan a bit more but I hardly find that...

Am I correct in thinking you have owned a Model S since 2017? Is this the first time you've done a long trip in it?

Assuming you had an ICE car in the past, did you study the manufacturer's range estimate as carefully as this? You'd sleep a lot easier if you'd change to % instead of estimated mileage. But to answer your question, some of it is degredation and some is just the usual combination of conditions...

Honestly, that is just not worth worrying about in the slightest,

Another strike by Russia earlier today on what is obviously a provocative military target in the middle of Kharkiv. At least 3 killed and 25 injured. https://packaged-media.redd.it/hw9gr219658d1/pb/m2-res_480p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1719086400&s=390cd2a12dfae1e809bd674b8f9f97488bd13a21#t=0

As a few of us keep explaining, the automatic proof exists in that the charger went pop and smoke came out of it. That could only be due to a fault in the charger. Tesla doesn't have to show anyone any data because the cause is blindingly obvious for all to see. If you or anyone else doesn't...

There is dedicated circuitry/logic which manages the pyro fuses. There wouldn't be a 'computer bug' or command coming from the main computer which could accidentally fire them, if that's what you're getting at.

Have you tried a 2-button reset? It's not a safety problem, it's just a reminder to do something you should automatically do every time you get in the car.

Why do you keep saying the handshake caused the fuse to blow? Who told you that? I think the message you got in the app from Tesla lost some of it's meaning in translation. During the handshake, no DC is flowing. The contactors in the car may not even have closed when the charger developed a...

Hardly surprising, if true. Why would anyone trust anything Russian?

Yes, thanks for pointing out my poor grammar. I feel quite foolish now. 😁

What does "fobbed off" mean? No response at all or just a response they didn't want to hear? And to be fair, a Tesla ranger isn't a tyre expert any more than someone on a forum. I've got more experience WRT tyres than any Tesla employee I've ever met ;) You'll get all sorts of responses here...

Does your car get driven regularly? Small cracks within the tread are pretty normal. If they were on the sidewall, that's different but I wouldn't worry about those. If you're concerned though, contact Hankook and ask for their opinion.

HUD is not a Tesla partner. It's a random Chinese company who hacked into the car. Chinese hackers by a different name, in fact. 😁

Tesla does not have a partner which makes HUDs, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. You honestly think looking in a slightly different place to check your speed is less safe? How so? There are many things you may have to glance at in all cars which aren't presented to you anywhere...

Sure, but your custom config/layout would be tied to your profile, so whatever Tesla you got in it would look the same to you. If a guest got in your car they would have the defualt layout or one they had pre-programmed. In a future release, the car's internal camera would scan your iris and set...

Now I know why I keep missing 8th to 9th 😁

Oh, I dunno. I just can't decide which is best...

"Acceleration Modes Touch Controls > Dynamics > Acceleration to adjust the amount of acceleration you experience when driving Model 3: Chill: Limits acceleration for a smooth and gentle ride. Note When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the touchscreen above the driving speed. Standard...

I don't miss an instrument panel screen for a moment and I really don't care what the reason was not to put one in the Model 3/Y. Those that don't like one not being there just don't like change I suppose.

Clips are part of the camera. If they break (which they will if the cameras aren't removed properly) then it's new camera time unless you want to bodge it with glue etc.

Untrue on both counts. What would have been the cost of that charger and what location was it? Here's just one story which debunks the myth about Supercharging:

3rd party inspection is a good start. Your insurance isn't covering you for the cost of a rental while this is sorted? I'm afraid Izivia has a bad reputation when it comes to customer service. Their Trustpilot score is 1.7! It looks like the legal route and more time/stress or just pay for the...

I wasn't accusing you of blaming Tesla for the actual issue, just to be clear. It's just that many owners encounter problems with their cars and seem to default to Tesla being to blame without doing any research or investigation first. Who has given you this explanation? You said "Basically...

We don't know the actual words or writing Tesla OP has from Tesla. We have an abbrevated account, that's all. Tesla may have actual data to conclusively say the charger was the problem, they may not. The mode of failure might be enough for the engineers to know what happened. OP is telling us...

Are you saying ABS triggers earlier than before? You've upgrade the front brakes only? To what?

He can say that to them without Tesla doing anything because it's true. Why involve Tesla in something that has nothing to do with them? This is like the people complaining because their 3rd party HUD stopped working after a car software update. It's not Tesla's fault.

We don't know exactly what Tesla said but it's not their responsibility to comment on 3rd party issues anyway. Sometimes it's better to say nothing when all the facts aren't known. Why is OP in a jam? He should be going after the charger company. Their charger is supposedly toast so an...

Why would anyone in their right mind agree to that?

Well, in your case the turn signal stopped working and in the OP's case the speed etc. stopped working, but the car's speed/turn signals are still working so I very much doubt it's a bug that's affecting the car's features in any way. These 3rd party devices have stopped working before and will...

So you're saying a car's BMS can command a charger to do something which will lead not only to a possible fuse blow but also could cause the charger to explode? That sounds like bad charger hardware/software design... ;) The most probable cause of a Tesla blowing it's fuse due to being...

But it's clear cut. If the invoice shows your fuse needs replacement that's because it's had a surge from the charger. There is very little else to cause that and Tesla may not have any further information to tell you. There's nothing fishy going on other than the charger had a fault and it's...

Going on the information we have currently, I can't see how this has anything to do with Tesla nor why they should spend time investigating an issue with a 3rd party charger. There probably is very little they can diagnose anyway if it's just the fuse that's blown. The car did it's job by...

I don't have one and never will because of this reason. Connect any third party device which has essentially hacked into another system to extract data and you're risking issues like these when there's a system update. Yes, there are lots of reports of this happening but the only answer is to go...

Nothing to do with Tesla. Contact RPM Tesla and complain to them.

What's it got to do with Tesla? Contact the 3rd party. They make it.

Just a FYI. A friend of mine bought a pair of front suspension arms from Euro Car Parts to replace his OE ones which had delaminated and they lasted about 400 miles before delaminating. They weren't even MIC (made in Germany, in fact) so I'm now of the opinion it's probably best to stick with OE...
