    Plaid - anyone else waiting for their's ??

    I swapped my 2019 X for a more recent lower mileage 2020 one at Northampton SC a couple of weeks ago after being informed that the S Plaid I ordered on the day they went on sale 2+ years ago would be at least mid-2023 RHD version. Hopefully worth the lengthy wait which I’m now used to after also...

    POLL: Have you had to have your 12V battery replaced?

    3 months, 5k miles for me ......... and no updates until it's replaced! :(

    AP1.0 jinked around a car stopped halfway outside the lane

    Count yourself fortunate at this moment in time ....... I traded my AP1 for AP2 in January. :(

    Model X Insurance UK

    Unbelievable! I was previously with Admiral for my S P90D - £1200 - maybe try giving them a call. Sounds like DL aren't giving you any no-claims allowance now whereas maybe in a March they were?

    No ranger service in the UK

    I live 60miles from the nearest SC but the only time I needed help was with a blowout and the SC got a replacement loaner wheel to me in less than an hour. Better service so far than any of the major players I've used in the past.

    AP2 and UK 'A Roads'

    AP1 is absolutely fantastic on most U.K. A roads - the newer the road, less sharp curves, the better. AP2 is still in the learning stage whereas AP1 had got there. Probably six months or so before we see AP2 reach the same standard imho after having AP2 since Jan. I'm sure it will get there but...

    Be Careful with Automatic Lane Changes

    Me neither until I read another post here! Even my SC contact wasn't aware if it! I suggested that it might be a good idea to let new owners know about it since we all benefit from the feedback......... that is, of course, assuming that someone listens to and acts on the feedback!

    Be Careful with Automatic Lane Changes

    I read other posts here which suggest that TACC/AP 'false alarms' are whiteboarded when they are reported. Before using the mic 'report' facility I used to email these to my SC where the tech people apparently much appreciated it! Run a search on 'whiteboard' and see if you can find the thread(s).

    Be Careful with Automatic Lane Changes

    Whenever you have an unexplained slow down using TACC or AP, such as overhead bridge, sign or gantry you could press the mic button and report the incident direct to Tesla ie say something like "Report - 405 Northbound - 14h30 - TACC - overhead gantry" - you'll see a "Thanks" notification on the...

    Tesla Wifi Sux

    Tesla Wifi Sux

    Also worth checking the signal wth and without the mirrors folded. I get little more than 50% of signal strength when they are set to auto-fold. Guess they aren't omnidirectional!

    Tesla Wifi Sux

    I believe the aerial is located in the driver's side mirror (rhs side of car here in UK and lhs in the US) - my router is also 35' from the car and I get 54mbs upload and download when the mirror faces the router at the shortest distance to the house. However, if I park the car the opposite way...

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    Agreed - didn't seem to do much actual powering off with mine either. The functionality seemed to return to the camera, radar etc when the driver assistance features were turned back on - and then only when the auto lights weren't showing as being 'on'.

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    You could try my 'fix' from an earlier post if you haven't already - still working ok after a couple of weeks now: :::::::::: Here's what I did if you'd like to give it a try! On centre screen turn headlights to 'Off' Driver assistance - turn everything to 'Off' E-Brake - 'Power Off' the...

    Anyone else really miss the 'blue car' in front? AP1 vs AP2

    It must be like seeing rocking horse droppings on AP2. The only cars I ever seem to see in front of mine are always grey and often look like jumping beans. :D

    Anyone else really miss the 'blue car' in front? AP1 vs AP2

    Since AP2 is steadily heading towards parity with AP1 I'm wondering if we're ever going to see the 'blue' car in front again? Personally, I found it extremely reassuring that when the lines on either side of the road, or the kerb, disappeared Autopilot 'locked' onto the car in front, turned it...

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    I had the same intermittently until SC sent me 17.11.10 overnight and all is working fine today. Why not message your SC and ask for 17.11.10 asap and try to make sure you have wifi available as much as possible.

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    Nice one! 17.11.10 seems to have resolved my problems including the historical 'touchscreen unresponsive' :)

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    You could try the suggestions I made earlier in this thread and power off etc. It seems to have ultimately got mine working. Make sure all driver assistance boxes are 'off' before powering down - also auto headlights switched off. After powering back up switch each driver assistance option back...

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    It started working again yesterday a.m. and hasn't failed since. I reported the problem to the nearest SC anyway and they asked for a few details, times, dates and then connected and downloaded the car's log. That was yesterday, no word back yet but I've just downloaded 17.11.10 so let's see...

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    Cheers! Frustrating to say the least and before my latest software problems I received the 'touchscreen unresponsive' message only very occasionally..... yesterday it appeared at least 20 times......i.e. 20 reboots were necessary. I guess these things are sent to try us! :p

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    Well, it worked fine while it lasted. 50mile motorway trip yesterday and everything worked great, for the return I had to reboot the screen due to 'touchscreen unresponsive ' message and everything has disappeared again. I'll report back what the SC say about the problem. :(

    Tesla Elon Musk Says Update 8.1 Coming in 10 Days or So

    I think perhaps it's a regulatory issue - the release notes only mention using the mobile app - no mention of the fob.

    Firmware 8.0

    That's a pain - 3G/4G here is an intermittent signal so I make sure when the car is parked it has a great wifi signal from the house.
  26. T

    Firmware 8.0

    Whenever there's a new update coming I make sure the car is always connected to wifi overnight with a good signal. 500mb downloads over 3/4G would take quite a while over here. Updates usually arrive within 10 days of their first appearance across the pond. The latest was just a day behind!

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    Imho it could be simply a glitch in the uploaded software since everything else worked fine and all the other new features were available. The thing that seemed particularly odd to me was the missing mph speed sign - I believe this is related more to gps positioning rather than the radar or...

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    Fixed! (At least I think it is!) :) Here's what I did if you'd like to give it a try! On centre screen turn headlights to 'Off' Driver assistance - turn everything to 'Off' E-Brake - 'Power Off' the vehicle Wait 1 minute Press Footbrake to 'Power On' Driver assistance - turn everything to 'On'...

    Tesla Elon Musk Says Update 8.1 Coming in 10 Days or So

    Over here we don't have summon available via the key fob - it's only possible via the mobile app. I'm fairly certain my S with HW1 worked via the fob and I would have thought it would be the same with HW2 but apparently not!

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    Not isolated to you! Almost identical problem with my X P100D - update worked fine and everything ok aside from TACC and Autopilot. I just drove 100 mile trip with no change. Interesting about your low light comment as I did notice my auto headlights working almost constantly even in really...

    Pending firmware update: ? Firmware 8.1

    Thanks for the 'mouse click' tip - mine works fine now. No sign of cameras working here either - perfectly fine before the update now there are no lines shown on the screen and no message to say that the cameras are calibrating. Pretty basic really to give a message indicating what's happening!

    Construction Started at Woodall - M1(S) near Sheffield

    Yes, this is correct - the in car navigation is pretty good although I managed to end up in the hotel opposite's car park! It looks as though you are about to rejoin the M1 when you spot the chargers lined up a few yards before. There is a separate entrance which is immediately before the M1 on...

    Construction Started at Woodall - M1(S) near Sheffield

    Footpath definitely not recommended for wheelchair users - there's a 12" drop over a kerb from the path to the tarmac and no ramps that air could see. Charging was fast for my X - 372mph Quite tricky to find the chargers - immediately after the fuel station on the RHS just before rejoining the M1.

    Construction Started at Newport Pagnell

    Used Woodhall Southbound a few days ago very impressive 372mph charging and 8 stalls. Slightly tricky to find - use on screen navigation and the entrance is on the rhs immediately after the fuel station and 50yds before rejoining the M1.

    Unexpected speed up in Autopilot

    That's true! Only ever happened to me with AP1 - could be 'over the air' updates similar to the live traffic information we receive on the in-car Google navigation. But then why doesn't it happen with AP2? Anyone ever had construction speed restrictions with AP2?

    Unexpected speed up in Autopilot

    Here in the U.K. I'm fairly certain that both AP1 and AP2 relate speed limits to geo co-ordinates - possibly from Google maps. Personally, I found speed limit detection far better with AP1. Now, with AP2 my X will often travel a couple of hundred yards into a lower speed zone without 'detecting'...

    HELP! 17" LCD became unresponsive during highway drive.

    I had the same a week ago multiple times with my X P100D - rebooted a few times but problem repeated. Rebooted both the centre screen and the driver's screen and all back to normal. I informed the SC and they suggest trying 2 back-to-back reboots usually does the trick. No further problems for...

    navigation- Tesla navigation poor safer to use mobile phone with google maps

    I agree with you - good idea as a stop gap before 5G rolls out here in '2020' with its 20Gb download and 10Gb upload speeds. The last update, 17.9.3, was iro 420Mb which would take just a couple of seconds to download whereas it probably takes an hour or two at present over LTE or 3G - imagine...

    Spoiler started working 2 months after delivery! P100D

    I entirely agree with you - just seems strange that it hasn't moved at all since delivery and now it works absolutely perfectly. I haven't opened the trunk (boot) for a week or two nor have I run over any potholes that might have moved something.

    Spoiler started working 2 months after delivery! P100D

    Yesterday I noticed that the adaptive spoiler started working after being stuck in the mid position for eight weeks, ever since pickup in January. Anyone else have this happen? The SC told me I'd need to return to have it reset by a technician which I'd not got round to doing. I'd tried the...

    Announcing the EV Trip Optimizer for Tesla App

    It's the opposite for me - this phone/tablet based app is so much more convenient that the in-car screen navigation. You can spend time on various routings as and when you like and synchronise with the in-car navigation instantly. This app also does in seconds a better job than what the in-car...

    Announcing the EV Trip Optimizer for Tesla App

    I downloaded the app from the UK store - maybe it's just not on the Swiss one. No Superchargers shown in Europe though? Just a single destination charger at Hotel Plaza in Andorra! A very nice app! - it finds the European chargers when using the manual input.

    AP 1 issue

    Might be worth reporting to the SC anyway and making a note of times etc. as I suggested - they pulled lots of data from mine when I had the problem so maybe they'll see something that's easy to rectify. Good luck! ;)
