Figures - if you check the IP from the in-car browser, it returns a KPN IP address, so that ties up. Cheers folks!

Hello, Cellular data appears to be dead for me this morning - just have the "signal bars with a line through them" icon. MCU reboot hasn't fixed. Call to Tesla Roadside appears to confirm there is a UK data problem - just curious how widespread it is. Cheers!

Fair enough - cheers :-)

Hello, Just trying to establish if anyone else has this problem or if I'm special :D I use Spotify quite a bit and have a paid account. This works brilliantly on every device I have except for my Model S where, for the most part, I'm left with this: The generic features of Spotify work...

This post disagrees with that somewhat. AFAIK the system is incredibly fault tolerant to the extent you can tape over almost every camera and it will still make a surprisingly good stab at it. Pillars seem to make a massive improvement to lane keeping on rises and dips, which is what I wasn't...

I live in a very rural part of the English Midlands, and consequently my car is usually covered in mud, excrement and, most recently, road salt thanks to the recent cold snap. I received the 2018.10.4 update a week or so ago and, whilst its Autopilot implementation is indeed massively better...

Had this more than a couple of times. MCU reboot fixes, but still slightly disconcerting...

The Comic Sans in the opening slide says it all IMO :D

Well, that would certainly explain the air-hockey syndrome then :D Why on earth would they fit summers to a country that is mostly being precipitated upon and regularly has icy snaps? Weird logic...

I have a mid 2017 75D on coils that's suffering from the same noise. It's been in half a dozen times now and the diagnosis given sounds very similar to those above. It's had its strut braces changed twice (not the struts themselves) to no avail, but if it is the steering rack as mentioned above...

My 75D was supplied with 19" wheels and Michelin Primacy 3 245/45R19 tyres, which claim to be all-season. Just after Christmas, I switched to the Tesla OEM winter tyres - in this instance Pirelli SottoZero 3 of the same size, on the same rims. In the dry and the wet, the SottoZeros have...

Being in a right-hand drive market, I’m reasonably sure we’re a good year away at least from M3. That being said, by the time it does arrive I’m reasonably sure the Model S3 will be with us (S being the original, S2 being the facelift according to the App’s API) and I’ll have to reconsider...

Just to add to this entertainment, my 75D was ordered in that limbo period where they changed from various individual options to the all-or-nothing premium options pack. I ordered at a time when the various premium options were separate checkboxes (but at that stage couldn't get air suspension)...

Sorry for the delay - measurements confirmed:

Couldn't agree more with this - I "discovered" winter tyres about 15 years ago and save for when sheer depth of snow physically prevents forward motion, they are wonderous things indeed! They make everything very boring, and when added to the incredibly boring sure-footedness of the Model S, it...

Hello, It depends what you mean by performance... For power / torque figures, performance upgrades are a bit thin on the ground unless you are happy and familiar with breaking in to and noodling around with embedded Linux machines and vehicular network protocols - see posts from the inimitable...

245/35R21 on the front, 265/35R21 on the rear from memory although I will check that this evening. Doing some maths on the back of a laptop shows that to be an approximate 2% increase in rolling circumference, something that has previously had (inferior, mechanically front-to-back linked)...

Many thanks for the replies, folks - that's really good news! This does however raise the question as to why the factory alignment for 19s and 21s is different, given that the 19s can be run on the 21" alignment without issue :-) Cheers again all!

Hello, Had a search around but couldn't find an answer that really covers this. Just picked up my extremely shiny set of Arachnid referral wheels and found out that, like the P-variant 21s, they are staggered front to back. Whilst I assume it's not an issue fitting a staggered set to a lowly...

Repeat after me: "Thou shalt not buy cheap tyres"... They are the only interface between your multi-thousand-<insert-currency-here> investment and the road, so fitting them with Daiyung DitchFinder Pro XS's is not the thing to do IMO...

I've found the Ranger service to be brilliant - only used it once, but in that one time, they managed to replace a part that required rather substantial disassembly of the front of my car. Also turned up in a very swish, Tesla-liveried P90D...

I'm always surprised when people are surprised by this kind of thing. There are no filters or screens over any of the vehicle openings with the exception of the cabin air inlet. You're driving this thing on roads with loose gravel, leaves, plastic; in fact all sorts of detritus, and some of it...

^ ^ ^ Essentially what autopilot feels like when this happens :D Always after a manual disengagement followed by a quick manoeuvre. Feels like layers of the system take different amounts of time to disengage, and / or their buffers aren't cleared properly...

Mine's a 204xxx and it was uncorked over the air by the Mothership as it was in a narrow window where the uncorked figures were announced just after it had gone in to production. It was supplied corked and subsequently uncorked a few weeks later after a bit of back and forth with my local SC...

Had Tesla-supplied SottoZero III's on my 75D a few weeks back after the stock Michelin all-seasons proved to be little more than sleds in what was ultimately a poor show of a snow shower in the English Midlands. Subjective impressions are thus: Flooring an uncorked 75D with the summer tyres in...

TBH I never knew such a thing existed! Not sure I like the idea of a bootleg key given that you have no idea how rigorously the crypto engines were seeded at the factory. Whilst they may have chosen a seed at random, using that seed for every key produced might mean that your car can be unlocked...

I've had that quite a few times, but not recently. Typically I've just disengaged autopilot manually because I reckoned it wouldn't have coped with something ahead and perform a manoeuvre. I'm of the opinion that when you manually disengage AP it takes time for all of the layers (the system...

Ditto for no hates, but the interior is so full of rattles it may as well be a branch of Mothercare! 4th SC visit in as many months upcoming to try and fix them... Still love the car though :-D

Brain is telling me there was an incongruency between Mobileye's roadmap and the, shall we say, ambitious timeline Tesla wished to pursue. Can't find the citation immediately, but I think Mobileye were citing safety concerns as their product to date was very deterministic whereas Autopilot's...

Might I point you at this thread...

Not sure that's true, as whenever I've been on an incline with hill-hold enabled and feet off the pedals, if you then engage Park, the car rolls for an inch or so as the service brakes release and the parking brake engages (and the (H)old indicator disappears from the dash). Also, if you have...

+1 for Digbeth - they always seem to go out of their way to accommodate me and / or any stupid requests I have :D

Yeah - have seen those... The problem isn't with the Ecotricity chargers in this instance, but with the adaptor. I tried it with four different Ecotricity chargers, a Shell Recharge station and a Polar station, all with the same results. It is definitely something up with either the car or a...

OK, so probably an individual fault on the X loaner I had?

Huh, so it's actually a flag that has to be set on the car to allow non-Supercharger DC charging? I never knew that... Every day is a school day - cheers!

Please stick with me if this is a bit rambling, but I'm trying to straighten this out in my head as best as I can whilst typing this. A bit of background - I'm UK-based, so this all revolves around the type-2 CHAdeMO adaptor rather than the Tesla-connector type adaptor, and I have a ~September...

So I've had a Model X P90DL to play with over the past couple of days whilst the Digbeth SC have fitted my winter boots and "correctly fitted the headliner" (!) to eliminate the final and most irritating rattle in my S, and have to say that the air suspension feels much better in the X, but it...

I'm assuming "re-sculpt" here is Tesla SC lingo for "attack the pinch points with a Dremel until it works properly"? :D

Coils or air springs? Some have reported that one or the other make them nauseated after a while... EMF is unlikely to be a cause - I'll justify that statement if you need me to :-) Silly suggestion: are you being distracted by the displays more than in other cars? Not driving may mean you're...

Ditto, albeit reversed as I'm in a drive-on-the-left territory; car generally stays bang-on centred, but when passing large vehicles (Semis / HGVs) the car seems to love snuggling up to them (this is confirmed via a visual check of gap between car and lane marker in the wing mirrors). They may...

Good call:

Hehe it’s old-school DSL - shifts ~350kB / sec, hence ~1.2GB/hour if you go at it. Completely unusable for anything else whilst you’re doing that, mind, unless I turn traffic control on, but TBH new toys for the car, whatever they end up being, usually win over anything else I’d want to do :-D

Heh - tried the same search and came up with nothing - I do try to search before posting ;-) Guess it may be an extra twist of the calliper motors... I've read that bit of the manual but to be frank I'm too much of a scaredycat to try the parking-brakes-when-moving thing... Probably ought to...

Pressing the button on the end of the shift lever engages Park along with the noise of the mechanical parking brake callipers - fair enough - but press-and-hold it again and it does something else and also lights up a red (P)ARK in the I/C - and it also makes a second, discrete noise. Is this...

Ah - that would make sense - cheers :-)

Hello, Bit of background here - I'm a networking geek and hence have an overly-elaborate home network setup because I like dogfooding things - i.e. trying them out on myself before I impose them on others :-) I also live in the back of beyond and have a very tenuous internet connection via a...

Probably 'standard' as given the amount of detritus on the roads around me low seemed a little too low and didn't want to trash the loaners :-D That having been said, its response still surprised me - IMO you shouldn't have to have the car set to maximum attack just to survive a drain cover mid...

To answer #4, ambient light logic is slightly opaque. When the car is in state "Car off", the ambient lights will only come on when the dome lights are on, i.e. just after a door is opened or when the inactivity timer switches the car to "Car off", OR when the car is shifted from D, R or N to...

I've both owned and driven other vehicles with air suspension and none of them seemed to be as flummoxed by mid-corner impulses as Tesla's. Not saying I don't like air (I mentioned I would've ticked the box immediately had it been available) - I just don't like the Tesla implementation of it in...

Hello, I think this may be a contentious opinion for a couple of reasons, not least that I'm a Tesla owner who appears to be getting happier with their car as time passes, but that originally I was irked that I missed out on air suspension by a few weeks (when I ordered, it was coils only on...
