Yeah my App went live pretty soon after, definately within 30 mins.

Now the car is dry i have picked up a Scuff on the Rear Light drivers side, have logged a service call for that, also my passenger camera isnt working, and autopliot unavailable. so only a couple of minor niggles.

ill go for another drive in the dark and will report back. at the moment the lights are on auto, but permanently on, i think due to the autopilot issue.. will see what happens later.

I've noted there is only a hazard button on roof. I believe there used to be a SOS button, but SOS is now via screen only. Nothing else I can see to report that's not been covered I don't think!

... and autopliot unavailable.

Isn't there a calibration period for the car to go through prior to autopilot being available? can be quite a few miles I gather.

I hadn't heard about that, but you're right, except about the distance being quite a few miles. This from the Tesla Autopilot support page:


How long does Autopilot take to calibrate before you can enable it?
Before Autopilot features can be used for the first time, cameras must complete a self-calibration process. Calibration typically completes after driving 20-25 miles, but the distance varies depending on road and environmental conditions. Contact Tesla if your car has not completed the calibration process after driving 100 miles.


It's possible that the failed camera will interfere with the process, of course.

That's a helpful change ... on existing cars you have to look up to make sure you don't press the SOS button instead of the hazards ... and the buttons are not marked with contrasting colours, just an imprint on the moulded plastic!

Yeah, im hoping it will all come to life after the calibration, but as i had to log the scuff, i thought i might aswell log the others too.

 

[Wuddie]

out of interest, what are the colours of the 2019/2020 door inserts? I chose the black interior, but the door inserts are similar colour to the car as in a grey colour not Black.

Thinking about it, I guess this is the cause. I would imagine they built it so that if there are non-functioning cameras it should deactivate the autopilot.

 

[GRiLLA]

I think there's a kind of progress bar/ring around the wheel icon on the screen while it's calibrating.

If you haven't already it's worth a brake pedal + both steering wheel buttons reset in case the camera comes back to life.

They're all like that sir ...

thats cool, did have a wonder if the 2021 model had introduced a body colour insert.

Yes, it's grey Alcantara. The "black interior" actually just refers to having black "leather" seats so unless you choose white you get the grey Alcantara no matter the paint colour of the car.

I'm sorry if this has been covered before, but does anyone know what the difference is with the new "improved" headlights are ?

 

[Ben177]

also my passenger camera isnt working,

Check they've taken the protective plastic film off the B-pillar. Sometimes it gets left on and obscures the camera.

I'll be popping out soon in the dark so i'll try and ENLIGHTEN everyone

@Wuddie On another note, for the dash cam, the refresh has a USB in the glovebox, instead of under the phone dock. Is this a USB A or C? I'm assuming you can replace their USB with a larger memory SSD, just wondered what the connection was at the car side of things.

It's usb A,

 

[LA13]

It's usb A,

Perfect, Would you recommend the Samsung 500GB you have listed in your signature?

 

[Wuddie]

Yeah it's ssd so won't suffer from disk bounce and will be record for years without any degradation
