it’s got to be fake news, an EV roadster announced 3 years ago and a journalist is driving one today… I thought the incubation period was at least 8 years? :) I watched the Tom Ford review, I generally like his style, and yeah, he liked it for what it was and for many it will be ideal. Maybe...

They’re still there, but only as new inventory. Pretty sure the custom order option went a while ago. Edit to add.. I see they’re missing from the website but they’re on inventory sites. Edit again.. they are there, I had to widen my search to all available

I think Teslas policy is to charge the same everywhere - I presume they mean before taxes, import duties etc, and they get the same even if customers pay very different amounts. Against Europe we seem very expensive, but compared to the US, after you've added shipping, 10% import duty, 20% VAT...

One thing about setting your home accurately, and maybe more an issue when your housekey and car key were on the same key fob, somebody steals your keys the car will direct them to your house which they can then get into. Less of an issue probably (unless they stole your phone) but a thought...

I'm a little sceptical of reviews - either good or bad - I like to hear whats changed but then wait for more real world experience which doesn't help @FastLaneJB at all. These press days are on certain roads which are generally ideal for the car, get it on a pot holed country road and it might...

I have 3rd party roadside assist and I am still in warranty, one too many horror stories of Tesla taking ages and refusing to be friendly over tyres. Full confession, it’s also European wide coverage so I can get the car back home if I need to should it breakdown as Tesla will only recover you...

I've seen a video that shows the LG degrades less than the Panasonic battery so after 20k miles the LG one has the same if not better range.. it's a moot point in reality, we have a choice of take it or leave it, not this battery or that battery

...and then they expect a large tip

There's generally no smoke without fire and Reuters appear to have been substantially correct to me. The Model 2 plans if not abandoned appear to have been completely reworked and some form of mashup of existing parts and changes are what we can expect. I'm still not sure what they can take out...

The HP thing looks odd, on the german website they say 460 PS, which is 450 bhp, different again, if it was KW it would be 616 (b)hp But cars accelerate on torque, the max power figure is likely well above 60mph so it could be different if it’s say battery limited and we have a different...

Ioniq 5N v this will be a head to head worth seeing, but please can it not be just a half mile drag race by carwow but something over a Welsh mountain road

Do our horses kick harder than theirs? Or should ours say BHP while theirs HP, or PS or are we genuinely being short changed?! Odd whatever

Tesla dropped the prices in Australia overnight by $3k Aussie dollars so maybe they’ll drop here, man maths say that would be about £2k off

I agree, many thanks, and a big shout out to @init6 as well (apologies if there are other very active contributors)- this thread together with @Mr Miserable and his shipping thread are great examples of how a forum can be really constructive in helping others..

The supercharging end date will go out to up to 36 months so it's only worth holding out if you're already close to that or you think they may change the rate you can buy the miles at improves in the future. The other tactic if for some reason you have lots of miles but not a long expiry date is...

I think just Germany and the US looking at the notes which say which countries the features have been seen in so maybe cars linked to the factories

The spring update was a press release and then I think based on Twitter posts, only Tesla-info actually had it on cars they track and they published the actual release notes which were then copied by Notateslaapp. There have also been individuals posting videos of it in use. Teslafi seem to get...

He trips my OCC with factual errors but I guess the plus side is he reviews things as how they’d work in his world as much as anything, that’s more interesting than the drag race down a runway which has become the norm

We’re off topic (me especially) in this thread talking about FSD - my mistake - sorry!

It might have worked in the US and they’ve selectively allowed the transfer of FSD there so they’ll have some data, and they’ve also tried the “buy today as the price is going up at the end of the month”, but over here, and with evidence now that Tesla are prepared to lower the price in the...

I get it coming out of a multi story car park sometimes especially if there’s a lot of going around in circles as I go down through the levels of the car park. Usually corrects itself within a mile of driving in an area where it can pick up a decent GPS signal (built up areas aren’t great)

Every purchase extends the end date of all unexpired miles by 6 months up to a max of 3 years. I’ve had a quick look at the referral T&Cs and it’s under expiry dates: Expiration Dates Your credits expire 12 months and Supercharging miles expire 6 months from their respective Grant Dates. If...

I imagine the points will last to the expiry date but what you can use them for and how many needed might change. You can buy more than 1 year of premium connectivity, and free supercharging for up to 3 years, so I might just spend what points I have left and be certain of their worth, maybe one...

The dotted lines can appear at both ends although for different reasons. Regen will be limited with a full or near full battery or very cold, at the other end it can start to reduce at low states of charge. Maybe the odd picture of your screen with the trip power or energy screen might help...

I think when you're reading stuff online its worth checking when it was posted/written, and maybe even where in the world the author is. Preconditioning doesn't generally heat the battery unless it's really cold, it just takes the chill off the cabin and can be useful if the windows are ice'd...

You’re being bombarded with stuff, if it helps it does get a lot easier

Most people have said the obvious, it looks to be energy loss when you’re not driving, your consumption of 260 is about 25% higher than EPA rated but you should still be getting 150 miles or more. I saw a video recently that compared real world to EPA and over the long term taking hundreds of...

The UI update might be Ryzen only but I’d hope the speed camera alert and average speed zones would still be in any car that has the speed cameras. I can’t remember the other changes but they might too, deleting sentry mode clips from the app, diversion notifications etc? There was a fairly...

Thats a little harsh, or is it a glowing endorsment on how good the Germans do these things? There's a 3rd option to the glass half full / half empty, and thats the glass was designed properly in the first place I'll get back on my horse.. :)

Have you adjusted for battery degradation? That sounds fairly close as you wouldn’t expect 100% of EPA after the capacity has dropped a bit which they seem to do early in their life, but I agree with you about the Plaid, no point buying one if you’re not going to enjoy it!

Being loved by half a country is probably better than being tolerated by the whole country when it comes to car sales.

Also seems to be a feature for average speed cameras, expand the browser to full screen when parked etc.. quite a few things which are individually quite small but add up and to me are better than the leaked release on whats coming as part of the update which was only really interesting for the...

Looks like it’s starting to happen now as part of 2024.14 according to Tesla info And….

The auto boot opening really will come down to the quality of the implementation - and we know thats not always been successful - how many times have you got out of your car, walked to the back of it, and then waited to cross the road? Maybe not every day but it does happen? But what about...

Titanic and shuffling deck chairs springs to mind, there’s actually very little of substance here for most owners. My expectation of what’s significant has been set by adaptive headlights.

A consideration for the argument that an e-fuel takes a lot of electricity to make, our overnight electricity is very cheap and at times to balance the grid they'll even pay you to use it, if someone could capture that to make an e-fuel or hydrogen (fuel) then it would help load balance and...

I believe a number of companies offer a total/turnkey solutions to the adaptive headlights, but Tesla would prefer to reuse the sensors they have so the cameras they use for AP need to do this and thats not so easy to embed in bopught in logic, not that Tesla would want to buy in the feature...

The revised supercharger screen looks interesting to me, Tesla wording might leave a little to desired but I guess if they know you’re 10 mins away, maybe say 3 cars are due to finish charging in the next 10 mins freeing up their spaces and maybe 2 cars are on their way and will get there before...

Not what you think of this youtube video - if I undertand it they've effectively taken the rated efficiency and the 30 mile recent average effeciancy, both reported via the API, and worked out how close they are across an average of lots of data points. And the results they publish suggests for...

I was in Hopwood lasty week and a quarter of the car park now seems to be covered by rapid chargers, either Tesla or other brands. It also looks like some education might be needed, the Tesla chargers were a mixture of V2 and V3 so presumably 150kw max and 250kw max, and lots of people were...

If you’re talking about the figure at the top of the screen it’s not based on driving style, which is unusual compared to others. The older MS and MX are based on.”typical” consumption, the M3 and MY based on the EPA efficiency tests average consumption, the Tesla user guide explains it (albeit...

As @init6 says really. I'd google BMS calibration and Cell balancing. The drop off you've seen isn;t really weather dependant as it doesn;t really take the temperature into account. The real world range does but thats not whats being displayed. I think of the BMS as a trying to draw a straight...

Thats certainly how I imagine they mean it to be, I've read one too many contracts in my time to wonder if they've badly worded this to the point that I have membership because I have the Tesla, whereas before IIRC we were just told we got the lower rate when we were charging a Tesla.

I’ve had it but I was under the impression Teslas got the cheap rate and only member got the cheap rate on non Teslas. Now it implies I’m now a member as I have a Tesla so does that mean I get the cheaper rate without paying on a non tesla? It’s a rhetorical question as I doubt anyone will know...

The hesdlights have come on in the past when in the rain but only when the release version is a prime number. Next release we might get lucky again.

Technically correct although it seems they need to be on HW3, MCU2 and have had the camera upgrade so effectively pretty much the same as a newer car. I read someone wondered if they’d simply been overlooked before

Thats the plan, in 3 months, 6 months definitely :)

And before that in 2019 there was Deep Rain... a

If it’s a private seller, don’t leave until they’ve transferred the car to you on the app, it takes only a couple of minutes. Before you get there set up a Tesla account, download the app and log in. There are a few guides around including at least 1 YouTube video from memory, but it essentially...
