    Too late..Should have kept up to date with this topic. Downloaded earlier, suppose I don't use autopilot much at night, but I am hopefull it will be corrected soon.

    But I do like the repositioning of the side camera/blindspot views to a higher position on screen.

    You can still use adaptive cruise, just not AP.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,264 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    at least if you have the matrix headlights… a solution could be coming soon, but for those of us pre matrix, we’ll be fecked!!


    Will not be updating… (which will be a pain in the arse as this version I’m on (2022.20.8) has that silly alarm on opening glitch!!)

    You've got to disable autosteer for that & it can't be re-enabled again until you stop.

    It then will use only the cameras & ultrasonic sensors.

    I did 1,000km+ drives earlier this year (€urope) & AP really, really helps. I'm a big fan.

    But a 2 hour drive down a quiet M7 at night, with no AP, ain't what I signed up for, given I've had it for the last 2/3 years.

    Simple fix - remove the enforced auto high beam. I guess it's possible they can't though. Time will tell.

    not much of a consolation - the car i paid for has "autopilot" with at its very core autosteer. Not being able to use that at night without breaking the law (blinding others) is totally unacceptable. I paid for a car with autosteer and that is what i want given the amount of motorway miles i do in the evening.

    Does this mean that the auto-lights are not mandatory with adaptive cruise control?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 689 ✭✭✭Mike2006


    Sorry - I see the answer to my own question now above....

    Not all cars that get the update switch over to Tesla Vision it seems. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2022.24.6/release-notes

    I updated mine earlier today and there was no mention of it so it appears that I can move my blindspot camera and use my radar.

    Edit: I just realised that it was retroactively added to my 2022.20 patch notes. I'll report back on how good/bad/same it is.

    All the cars being delivered this month have matrix light, yes?

    The cost for charging at home depends on how much you drive not the size of the battery.

    You should average somewhere around 15-18kwh/100km so if you drive 100km between charges it'll cost you 15 x electricity unit rate to replenish what you used up.

    E.g. 15 x 0.20= €3 or an equivalent of 1.5L/100km

    All depends on your ESB rate and your driving style and speed.

    My long term average over 4k in M3P is 19.4 kWh / 100km if that helps.

    Had my first round work commute today. Very impressed with the car using autopilot. So except for turning onto a new road, for the most part, the car did the work. Had a few heart stop moments while I got used to it on winding roads at 80kph, but i'm getting a good feel for its limits. I noticed a small scratch on the trim across from the mirror after doing a second, more thorough inspection yesterday. My first thought was to get out a sharpie, but as this is a brand new car, I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how the Tesla service works. Have her booked in tomorrow for inspection.

    Don't know if I'd recommend autopilot on windy 80km roads.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭Zurbaran


    Does anybody know why the lights aren’t adaptive when it’s clear the have the ability to be? That seems like it would solve the issue?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 183 ✭✭alfa_aficionado


    My long term average in the ID.3 over 4k is 14.2 kWh/100km.

    I’m switching to a RWD so it’ll be interesting to see how its efficiency compares.

    9.1kWp (5.6E/3.5W)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,580 ✭✭✭eagerv


    In my limited experience of the Tesla I find the Model 3 RWD about 10% more efficient than my previous ID.3. Would be more on the motorway. Heat pump also helps in the colder months.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 183 ✭✭alfa_aficionado


    Yeah that average is over the warmer months (the ID.3 seems to reset once it reaches 9999km) - definitely wouldn’t be that over winter. I’d say the heat pump will make a big difference. Hopefully the Tesla shows “lifetime” stats rather than resetting like the VW.

    9.1kWp (5.6E/3.5W)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,264 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    My lifetime stats from my Fremont SR+ is 14.6kWh/100km over 65,000 km and 2.5 years….. so y’all should be doing far better than that in the current iteration of the RWD…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 435 ✭✭mc2022B2TF


    I was flooring it this evening and I still was doing 4 mile per kW

    Like the new m3 will do absolute minimum 220 miles on a charge even in the winter and I reckon u could go close to 300 mile in good weather granny driving.

    I literally don't have to worry about how I drive in the new m3. That's the beauty. 100% charging daily awswel. Get it into ye



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,580 ✭✭✭eagerv


    My MIC RWD is showing 12.7kWh/100km over 10K km, but I don't believe it. Ok, not much motorways but not hanging around either..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,580 ✭✭✭eagerv


    Yes, there are 4 "Stats". Present drive, since last charge and 2 resets. The resets can be named, I have the second one as Lifetime.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,580 ✭✭✭eagerv


    Brought my updated (2022.24.6) RWD for a drive tonight on a quiet dark road to see what the fuss is about. Lights went straight to full beam when I engaged auto pilot, but I could still manually dip the lights. And they seemed to stay on dipped until I manually went back to full beam. But you have to push the stalk away from you each time. (Cannot remember if this is normal, so long since I have driven on AP at night on a country road)

    Interesting

    No one minds having to do that once and I don't believe bjorn tried that

    I could live with that buy will need to test it myself as it seems contrary to other online reports.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 666 ✭✭✭Moreilly


    Yep, I got the update early yesterday- on the way home from work last night decided to try AP out a couple of times to check the differences and it behaved exactly as you described, so was happy enough, all was well.

    Although about 10 min into my 1st drive after the update earlier in the day while on autopilot an event occurred that I never encountered before - autopilot disengaged with a strange error on the screen and a loud alarm (with no warning beforehand), luckily the road was a long boring straight one and I was attentive, but I could see how if this happened on a bend it could be very dangerous even when holding the steering wheel



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 438 ✭✭speedfreak


    My MIC is 14.3 after 11k kms. Mix of motorway and city driving and no conservative driving also!



  • Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    There has been no update available on our car yet (MIC LR running 2022.20.8). What the posters above say sounds like how the auto high beams have worked in the past, just that now the auto setting can't be switched off. Wonder if the High Beam behaviour has been altered since Bjorn tested it?

    Situation hence is not catastrophically bad, but bad enough. I hope that the future updates will make things better still. I continue to wait for the matrix update which I'm hopeful about will arrive sometime in the future. I don't actually know if it has been promised or even "officially" rumoured.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 438 ✭✭speedfreak


    I have it now and will be heading down country later so will check it out and report back.

    The only real difference I found last night is it goes into high beam when ap is engaged at night, but normal dimming and back to high beam manually works fine, as for matrix functions....I think we will be waiting for that update, the can't even get auto high beams/dimming to work properly, currently it is absolutely rubbish
