Both our Model 3’s got offered this at the same time a couple of days ago. Feels weird to get an update on .1, normally it’s out and some of you have it a full month before it comes to our car. Bit weird as now up to date and nothing on a newer minor version in testing. Would love for them to...

I’m new to EAP as have 3 month trial on my new car. Most of the time it changes lane OK but sometimes starts, gets about half way and then swerves back into the original lane. Read from some of you about this, is there a way to understand when it might do this so I avoid the lane change before...

Yeah then doesn’t make any difference for you. I brought this one outright. In theory could give to the wife in a year and a half when he lease is up however she’s not driven it and the lack of stalks could be a deal breaker there. It’s kind of exactly as I thought it might be, she loves her...

Nice. Shame they still have an expiry. Seeing as I mostly home charge, 15,000 miles would last the lifetime of the car for me. I’ll of course probably do some trips leaving with less charge and then do a few supercharges while out and about to use some of it up.

Ah interesting. Mine has updated now to 3 years as well. More like it though the offer didn’t mention an expiry so still doesn’t seem aligned. You had some additional miles from something else to get to 17,907?

How does a lower state of charge cripple the performance of the car? I’m not worried about the degradation of your cars batteries and clearly none of you are either. The point where this started was does a LFP battery degrade more if left at 100% than left at a lower SOC and it does. The point...

Yes exactly. Just get in front of it and post something about it on X, send an email or something.

No, no one’s said as much but the email and the text on the website doesn’t mention any expiry. My gut feeling is it is mistake or issue as they also sent me an email about the 100 miles they issue because the car wasn’t charged above 50%. Those do expire after 6 months. So didn’t get the 100...

Yeah definitely miles. This is from my app.

Well if they only give them after the cooling off period, why would I have mine on delivery day along with other people I saw them showing these in their apps also. I'd not call it a lie, that's to intentionally mislead. It's more ill-informed and again doubt it's their fault, just a lack of...

So many people getting opinions here. Which is why I'm not sure I believe the person that was saying they aren't supposed to expire either as its come from one Tesla employee but there's nothing beyond this. The whole 14 day cooling off period is bollocks for starters as I had mine the moment I...

The discussion started about degradation of LFP batteries, hard science was presented to you and you just claim that Tesla use different chemistry in their LFP batteries so it won't impact them. No proof that they are impacted less. Then rather than talk about the topic, you start changing it...

Mine was in the app before I even drove off. The guy showed me them in the Tesla app. Can see them in charging.

Most people don't do 240 miles per day so don't need 240 miles of charge. 150 miles would be more than enough. No one is saying don't charge higher when you need it but if you aren't doing 240 miles per day why degrade the battery more by having it at a higher percentage for no reason. Also we...

I hope this is true. If not does anyone know how many loops around the UK you’d have to do to cover 15k miles? ;)

Sounds like the code Tesla has written for this is sound, the mapping data is however of varying quality which isn't surprising. I'm happy they added it in, speed camera alerts brings them up to par with most other cars but average speed camera tracking and speed puts them above other in-built...

But what if you could just lose 10 - 15 miles over 10 years and all you had to do was avoided leaving the battery on a high SOC more often? I mean I get maybe you don't care or don't plan to keep your car that long but show me some data where the degradation of an LFP battery at 100% is exactly...

I read somewhere that they assume you hit 2.5 miles per kWh which is generous as you most of the time will be getting higher than that. Mine say they expire in 6 months so it’s nice but will never be able to use all of that in that time. They should give longer for such a large amount of have...

Agreed. That looks better than I was expecting.

I don't think the issue is how long until the battery is completely useless. I mean maybe a battery can do 1 million miles but if it's only got say 40 miles between charges it's not really useful anymore for most people. The point here isn't that maximum, most won't keep a car for that long...

Oh no. I hadn't even noticed that, my car is getting a ceramic coating but should be done Wednesday hopefully so will try this then. Thanks for the heads up, hopefully will resolve it. Even though I would just normally drive my car and she will stick to hers (She's not sure on the lack of...

Yes I’ve noticed that it also doesn’t seem to need about 23 miles of clear road to get from 60mph to 70mph when your lane clears of a slower moving car. It accelerates quicker and the speed it does this now seems well judged, quick enough to get up to the set speed but not too quick that it’s...

Interesting and annoying issue, will probably have to raise this one with Tesla but it syncs the seat and steering wheel position between the two cars. You’d think this is good but seems they are both different. I got in my Highland originally I had to adjust the seat and steering wheel a bit...

I don't have an LFP car but a single car is going to been nothing in the scheme of things, a single sample point is pretty useless. The weather is much more mild here so that won't help you either.

The insurance groups I think need a rethink and resetting. Cars have just got more powerful over the years and EV’s especially. A Model S Plaid or a Ferrari or something else stupidly fast is a Group 50, not a £50k SUV. Even though they are still quick compared to many years ago, there’s also a...

Sure that would be the case in the US but not here. It can make suggestions to change lanes but you have to indicate and turn the wheel slightly also first. So regulations here rather than it couldn’t do it.

Absolutely agree with this, they can also be behind a bump stop or above a curb so bit less likely someone will damage one when parking.

It's all interconnected, drop economy in one country like China effectively there and it will impact others. Just because not as much is made in the west now doesn't mean their companies still don't have interests in that manufacturing. Sadly won't work, we have to keep buying things until the...

This is indeed the issue of the human race really. We don’t buy things we need something new, we buy it because we want something new normally. Of course if we stopped this, lots of companies would fold and lots of us would lose our jobs. We have to keep that cycle going so only option is for it...

The difference from a 2023 M3P to my 2024 LR is night and day when it comes to sound insulation and ride quality. It’s not as good as some of the air suspension stuff I’ve had in the past but wouldn’t be fair to compare to them. I think it’s up there with other good coil suspension cars from the...

So got my car today, had to update to 2024.14.9 which was waiting to download. Once that was on, app wanted to upgrade the key which I did. Jumped in the car and turned this feature on and tried it out, worked first time. Hope you get yours sorted. It’s quite a nice way of getting around not...

So just got back with my new Highland, will post more on it later I imagine but I got an email as you expect currently about 100 free supercharger miles because of charge. However the guy told me that actually I had 15,000 free supercharger miles because of when I ordered the car. Honestly this...

I like this idea but I don’t think they’ll do it. They do use the visualisation to highlight objects it thinks you are going to crash into. This goes off all the time when driving around a town near me as you weave between all the parked cars on the road. If they did this full size map they’d...

They’ve been dropping the prices in other markets but the UK has held at the moment. I’d say they should drop but I’m picking up my Highland today so too late for me. I see sales have picked up for them in China. Maybe all on the rumours that FSD is going to launch there? Maybe if Tesla put a...

You'll know if they've been having a jolly with it and just reset the odometer if you get it with 34% charge ;)

How does this post help with your point that they don't degrade anymore at 100% than they do at lower stairs of charges? No one here is saying they won't do 300,000 miles or that the battery will need replacing. All that's being said is that an owner that leaves their car regularly sat at 100%...

Pretty sure it's US only and we won't get that. Didn't Ford have to get government approval for hands free BlueCruise? Tesla would have to do the same to allow us to take hands off steering wheel. Sure it's one of those they probably could get approval for this but they won't care and won't...

Thread OP Mod Comment: No bashing of JLR, its against thread rules. They make great cars ;) This is your first warning :p

Well only on the FSD track as normal track had moved on since then. I know there's no reason they cannot release Autopark in Europe. Pretty much all other modern new cars that are competitors have their own system. Just hard to know with Tesla, if it'll come in a month or two here or a year or...

I noticed yesterday by opening the Model 3 Manual for the US by mistake the new vision based Auto Park is in 2024.14 in the US but when you look at the manual for the UK, it’s the not available currently instead. So basically they have rolled this out in the US in this build and it’s not just...

Think it’s more of a USA problem where Musk’s political views affect him and Tesla. Rest of the world a lot less I suspect.

How do you figure that? You need to charge an LFP battery to 100% regularly else the BMS can lose track of the state of charge. It doesn’t mean that LFP batteries don’t degrade more if you leave them at 100% vs lower states of charge, they do. Not just Tesla but EV manuals aren’t going to go...

Well there's 2 things with LFP batteries. If you don't charge them to 100% regularly they can lose the ability to reliably know what their SOC is. If that happens you've the risk of the car telling you say that there's 20% battery left and then it just cuts our because actually it's flat. Hence...

Or go one loop around the M25 anti-clockwise if that fails ;)

Yes I think we get both. Actually as much as cornering lights are kind of cool, I think improved lighting of the highway sounds better but not sure how improved they mean. Will it for instance use a small amount of the matrix high beam lights at the bottom LED's to give extra visible distance...

I agree with you but also think it's a good idea for an option that we can toggle on / off. After all it really shouldn't be hard or complex for Tesla to implement.

Hard to know how quickly they are selling. I've seen a few highlands on the road but not massive amounts. They could probably help sales if they offered a few more colours for no cost. White looks nice but almost every Tesla being white does kind of ruin it a bit. You want some variety. Also...

It's not a demand problem, Elon just decided to not sell as many because they were making too much profit and margin ;)

In the US they are something stupid like 70% of all EV chargers are Tesla Superchargers, in Europe we have a much more diversified charging market with many more players. Not all good of course but competition is absolutely there... not in pricing though, that seems to be a race to who can...

Weird, I'll have my car on Saturday and assuming it has this software on or I can update it to it then I'll let you know if I can get it working.
