Morning all, when in CC or AP the vehicle detects the speed limit but doesn’t automatically increase or decrease the speed to match the speed limit, I always have to do it by touching the screen or press the rt stalk any way around that?
Also when adjusting the distance between cars it only shows me 2-7 cars in the manual it says 1-7 cars, any thoughts or that’s the new software update??
New AP for me was solid in daytime hours, I felt motorway lane changes a bit smoother (could be imagining it)
At night, thanks to Boardsies for the tip, just switch off Auto High Beams each time I turn on the AP.
One thing I did notice was that the car was a bit cautious (hesitant) on motorway if a car was moving in to my lane. The Tesla seemed to brake to give lots of space for the car moving in. I don't recall it being as cautious before.
It's a pita when you loose all your stored settings and past history. Same happened on one of the big updates on my previous ID.3.
No, my AP is also working fine, great in fact…..
I just decked up when I rebooted the car mid drive, and lost all my settings!!!!
id driven the car a few times after the update and before I re-booted, and it was fine! And it’s fine now… just a pain having to reset all my settings….
my advice would be to just do any reboots in future while in Park..
No issues whatsoever for me and many others. Andy is the one in the 1000 that got the bug!
FWIW I'm fully up on updates, had motorway run to Limerick yesterday and no issues whatsoever with Sat Nav, auto steer or full beams.
For the first time ever I had to drive by Birdhill as days of free SuC now gone, would typically top up to 90% and enjoy a BK
Time to convince wife may be expensive and costly. For what it’s worth if you are offered a car and it is too soon Tesla have in the past been happy to postpone to a later delivery date, although some were kicking the can down the road repeatedly so I think they may only be prepared to put order on hold once.
you need to decide if paying a booking deposit of 250 is worth it given your “unique” circumstances.
If it's the same as ours it's the seat belt top mount adjuster that's making the noise. Try to touch the slidy piece to see if it stops the noise. Ours only makes noise when the car is cold and you drive on rough concrete surfaces.
Yeah its pretty constant once i reach a certain speed or if the road isn't particularly smooth. I may try book it in so.
there is an issue there with the trim, whereby a certain part of it warms up and expands... I notice the odd crack sound if I go over a bump or something.. the Ranger said it's just teh piece of trim resetting itself, and there is no fix and it's purely a design flaw in the Model 3. Now I might only get that noise once a week or once a fortnight, but if your noise is constant, book it in for a service, and get them to check it out... try and record a video of it too so you can add it to the service request.
Just noticed an annoying plastic rattle coming from my driver side b pillar. Worth getting tesla to check that out? Anyone else had that issue?
In fairness, all my issues arose when I rebooted the car mid drive.... I just lost every setting I had which was a pain in the arse...
AP is actually really nice now, I did a drive on some windy roads last night, and no phantom braking, and NO Auto High Beams enabled whatsoever!!! So I assume the jump from .6 to .8 fixed that 'issue'
Jaysus......Im holding off installing this update for now. More reports I read it is sounding like a shitshow for some.
Im loving AP just the way it is for now and I have a heavy load of motorway driving over the next month. Might wait till the next release to see if they address a lot of the compaints.
Makes sense. That's actually really good. Just testing the waters as they say. I had no plans to get it this year (or order it). It's a 6-12 month plan, which is the time it takes to convince my wife.
Very possible. The Matt look is a kinda love/hate relationship.
Im not mad on them myself personally.
I ordered in mid august and collected 7 days ago. When I ordered the ETA displayed was Q2 next year. I wasnt intending to change this year initially but it made sense especially with the risk to the SEAI grant in the budget.
I would say yes as production capacity has been significantly boosted with modifications to Shanghai factory and Germany factory ramping up. If recent history is to go by the car might be available sooner.
Sounds like you are not ready and teasing yourself
Interesting stuff. Thanks. I do have the money for one, but I bought a second hand 3008 just a year and a half ago, and it is really "new" still. Ideally I wanted to change it end 2023 or beginning 2024.
Are the delivery times in the website realistic? Apr 2023 - Jun 2023 as of now.
Maybe the ones I saw are mostly Matte - which I do think are awful. If I could find a wrapped one that looks almost identical to the red out of the factory, probably I'd change my opinion :).
Lots of wishful thinking on this thread
I queried this before ordering and the guy told me they got some leeway with current orders when the grant went below 60. I’ve no way of verifying this so could be completely untrue.
Not for me. We had ordered a Hybrid GLA at the beginning of the year and when PHEW was scrapped, Mercedes (MSL) called us and told us that we would have to make up the difference (€2,500). Needles to say, we cancelled, got our deposit back and decided to go fully electric by ordering the Model 3.
I decided not to risk any further price increase either by loss of grant, manufacturer increase, or finance hike. Ordering the Tesla was definitely the right decision. Got my Leaf deposit back this week too, though it took a bit of chasing and for me to show up in person at the showroom.
So existing grant to existing orders and new revised grant to any new orders after the budget. Got ya 😃
This is what I also believed would happen, as it also ties in with the massive delays in getting EV stick into Ireland…. Id like to think they (SEAI) would honour the grant as long as the car was ordered when the grant was still available.
didn’t they do that when the PHEV grant was cut?
I am aware of all of this..it has nothing to do with TESLA. The point I was making, perhaps not eloquently, is if the government announces a change in SEAI grants for EV's I would not be surprised if the new arrangements apply to all new orders from that date. For people who will have already committed to a purchase and have an "an order agreement" the grant could extend to them. Its just a view...everyone must form their own view
If the grant changes you pay up the balance. Tesla only absorb price increases on its own end not local tax/grant changes.
I am pretty sure that I saw on the Tesla website that if grant rules change that the customer picks up the difference. They will definitely honour price on their side though if there is a price increase between the time you order and delivery time. This is better than most others who tell you that the price you pay will be the RRP on delivery date…
I’d love to see what wrapped one you think looks awful?
Most can’t tell the difference, once it’s a normal colour. Now if it’s Matt or a mad glitter or something, that’s not my cup of tea either.
Wouldn't bet against it.... I may well give some thought to placing another order ahead of the budget in next two weeks, purely to lock in current pricing (Ireland still didn't pass on last round of price increases in June) and to take a view on grant availability for orders already placed. Would be 250 well spend to lock in these options. .....
