A key variable is the dark, they always seem to be too slow in the dark as I guess they can't see the rain as well.

Not a play, but it's definitely in the release notes on my car.

I thought it was only MYP from Germany, but I might be wrong as I haven't really been following Model Y.

Currently not for the UK though afaik. They could switch but only making a small number of RHD in that factory might increase costs anyway ?

Wouldn't it make it more likely ? Pressure applied to the tyre through being strapped down and a high pressure means that it's mainly going to be the rubber that deforms. I'm no tyre scientist though.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpww6w412n7o I would expect that the UK would be likely to do the same, and that Tesla would be effected ? I would suspect that anyone thinking of buying a new Tesla might want to consider timing, and perhaps used Tesla might see some small improvement in...

What do Tesla say ? As per Jonnoy there are lots of reports of tyres being flat spotted in transport recently, which seems more common than it was in the past for some reason, different tyres maybe.

It's a stupid category of vehicle for anything but agricultural use, but also one that is the most popular in the US. I dislike it just as much as I hate all other stupid US trucks. The Ford e-Transit is far more likely to be something we see on our roads.

The things that are working are the things that work without power, when did it last work ? I killed a keyfob by dunking it in the sea, they aren't waterproof. It still opened the car as you describe.

No change as far as I can tell.

Perhaps just being contrary, but I thought the regen meter is significantly more noticeable than before, distracting even. I preferred it how it was before as it seemed easier to ignore, now its always bouncing around in the area of the screen I pay attention to.

Tesla released a tool to allow you to build your own shows synchronising all the lights, windows, boot opening with your own music, as such there are now whole libraries of custom shows people have made. You save them onto a USB stick and plug that into the socket in the glovebox See GitHub -...

It's not in the release notes on UK cars though, well mine at least.

It doesn't really work like that, the car checks everytime it wakes up and Tesla will wake the car to tell it there's an update waiting. There's no benefit in any actions you can take. The one exception to this is if the car does not have Wifi then the app won't notify you to install the...

Only difference I can see is 98Y vs 98W, I guess if you keep below 168mph it should be ok.

Why not? This seems to fit for my 18"

I bought some from Amazon, cost £140. No issue with the fit, but I would say they do end up looking plastic rather than a real wheel.

I was at Sarn on Saturday, there's absolutely nothing happening there that would indicate an expansion. There was some work happening there just before Easter that closed some stalls, but it wasn't anything to do with SuperChargers, just running a cable past. That's now finished and everything...

That list doesn't indicate the car has AutoPilot, just that the hardware exists and could be activated if the software cost was paid.

Not on a 2015 Model S It was with Model 3 and then new vehicles that they made a viable key solution using a phone. On the older cars like Model S you could still unlock the car if both you and the car have internet connectivity and are both awake, but realistically it's clunky compared to...

This is the sort of thing Tesla Owners UK do, see Tesla Owners UK: Supercharged 2024 - Event - Tesla Owners UK Warning though, Facebook ahead 🦈

Some might, absolutely no one will follow the instructions on a sign that doesn't exist.

I don't see any signs telling them not to park there ?

It works on average, there will be exceptions. I'm less sure that forcing discharge is as valuable given charging losses and battery degradation increase the carbon cost.

Even without the financial incentive, it makes environmental sense. During the day when there is typically significant demand your solar power is consumed likely in place of fossil fuels, and then overnight when there are typically more renewables on the grid you charge your car, heat the bubbly...

If it's any consolation I have the previous as one of the last 2022 models with USS, and it's useless. You've missed nothing.

Yup, my Mrs was hit by another driver, her insurance put her in an Enterprise rental, but as soon as the claim was clearly the other parties folk they tricked her to come back into the Enterprise office and sign a new loan agreement for the appointed claims company that was 50% more. They then...

In the US, but not in the UK/EU. It's reasonable to think that the Vision based Autopark will come soon, but it's not been seen outside FSD in the US yet.

I think when you renewed is the biggest factor, I'm due in about 6 weeks so last years price was about 25% up on the previous year, when I renew this year it'll be +50% I expect. The reason is clear, they've allowed claims management companies to exist that massively inflate the cost of third...

Clevely Motors will come to you, but why not Tesla if you are within warranty ?

OK, we are to Android Auto not Android Automotive then I guess, my mistake.

I doubt that very much, Android phones only get updates to the operating system if the manufacturer bothers.

From my personal testing the priority is based on the exact orientation of your car to lay lines, dowsing rods are essential to ensure early updates.

I would highlight the words 'not a strict rule' and 'generally'. Your personal example doesn't invalidate that.

It's not a strict rule, but it seems that new cars generally don't get updates for the first month or so.

I couldn't see any examples, there were lots with paint options, white interior etc but the price always seemed to match.

I upgraded my Atom to Ryzen in 2022, it cost about £5K and came with new wheels, seats, body etc. I guess it was a time limited offer, or at least the price is higher now.

Agreed, looked like an illuminated sign perhaps going in at the car park entrance. They had closed 4 of Tesla bays which was a bit unfriendly. I use Sarn fairly regularly and it doesn't really need more capacity. I'll be going back in a couple of weeks so will have a look round again.

Does it still tell you to keep right at every motorway junction?

In nearly 5 years of driving a Tesla, once at Woodall was the only time I had to wait for a charger. This was back when there were only 2 that had CCS cables, and they made the mistake of making those 2 the nearest to the path to the services so they were both occupied by free SC Model X's

No, very few people in the UK have it at this point, it'll be coming in due course though. As usual 90% of people in this thread are talking about something they haven't seen yet :)

Do options/accessories ever make much of a difference to used car prices? OP while I'm sure you are well informed, just to mention that in the past some dealers have highlighted the 'Full Self Driving Computer' that all cars have, rathe than actually having the option.

Once had an Audi A2 and the end of the dipstick broke off after about a year, they claimed it was wear and tear so not covered by warranty. Last ever Audi / VAG I will own.

I agree there we now have too many EVs in London to keep offering things like free parking, congestion charge etc. I do think that the Vehicle Tax incentives should remain being based on emissions and a different threshold should apply to EVs to be classed a luxury.

It only 'appears' in misinformation and smears from the losing candidates. See https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/pay-mile-road-user-charging

I'm sure people will hold onto their ICE cars, that's not a bad thing. I think my point is if we cant do it in 2030 then we equally cant do it in 2035 or 2040. It just needs to be done, only impending doom will really get things moving at all.

The challenge around chargers won't happen overnight on Jan 1 2030, there's at least another 3 years before its potentially a massive issue so 9 years from now, its resolvable, plenty of time.

Reinstating the 2030 timeline is part of Labours published policy https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/WR-797_23-Automotive-strategy-v8.pdf Now I know that the current government doesn't have any track record of delivering election promises, but previous governments have done...

It's a time to hold on EVs as far as I'm concerned, at the moment there is a lull as the desperate party will say anything it feels is right wing populism ahead of the election. Assuming bacon sandwiches are carefully avoided we will be back to a 2030 phase out and there will be far more...

I've not found USS valuable at all, they hit their minimum ranges at something like 18" and then just say stop. I'll happily trade that for something that can 'see' the kerb.
