    Absolutely baltic this morning!!! The handles were completely frozen over, but the driver door open function on the APP sorted that.

    As Andy says, you can customise and have 5 on display favourites. You can also add a widget for the App. This is my Home Screen.

    God, you are well organised.😁. My apps are everywhere, but at least I think I know where they are.

    Don't think I would like that door opening button on my widget, too easy to accidentally press if, for example, I was away for a week and car was at the airport. No way of closing again, and wind could open door fully. Pity it doesn't ask 'Are you sure'.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,531 ✭✭✭...Ghost...


    The door won't open unless you are beside the car. Close enough for bluetooth.

    Had a trip up to Belfast this morning, left home SW Co Wexford with 100% and pre heated car before leaving.

    Car said I would get there with I think 7%, but stopped at Castlebellingham for a very quick 10kWh (60c/kWh) and then filled up at Belfast Supercharger for return trip (38p/kWh).

    Freezing fog and black ice on the first 50km cross country (80 km/h roads) and very mucky with some snow near Naas kept my speed a bit lower than normal, but kept to about 110 on the motorways as wasn't in a hurry and traffic heavy enough in North. Probably 60-80 km/h on first 50 km. Heating at 19c and seat on low was very comfy.

    Probably my worst range scenario (Short of an all motorway trip), very cold, wet roads and a slight headwind. Pic below taken at exactly 50% battery about 20km north of Dublin Airport. I'm happy...😊

    Good results there.

    Despite the range loss this car is absolutely brilliant in the winter. Being able to pre heat is great and I’m now sold on the heated steering wheel which I’ve never had before.

    it is a little bit disconcerting when the heat pump kicks in. It’s odd that you feel it through the steering wheel and pedals till it slows down a bit.

    This morning the length of M50 from Exit 15 to 4 @-3°C and AC set to 21°C automatic. Surprised of in inaccuracy as the AC setting is the same since I got the car 19 months ago.

    the most inefficient trip I had in a long time (here the distance is different as it includes the school run)

    -4 outside this morning, -1 in the car, 5minutes on defrost to get it to 18degrees at cost of 3.3% battery (RWD 57.5usable), v happy with that, mind you the boot was stiff and needed manual opening

    Any voice commands to control the fog lights?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,003 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Nope. Tried this afternoon. Said something like "command not available at this time"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭MightyMunster


    Nope, if you tap the light icon under the speed it brings up the light menu



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭innrain


    I didn't know about this one. It is still 2 tap which is better than controls-> lights-> fog lights but not ideal. I know the one where you push the left stalk in the front which brings up the lights menu but still unimpressed. Not to mention that if the headlights on auto turn off the fog lights turn off and there is no tailgate light at all. Had to switch headlights on manual. I presume not to much fog in California.



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


    There are many things not perfect in the Model 3, but light controls work perfectly for me. Either tap under the speed or flash the lights brings up the controls.

    I was turning on/off fog lights yesterday with freezing fog early in day on trip to Belfast and was very simple.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭MightyMunster


    A voice command would be great though for the odd time you need it. Or you could just drive around with them on all the time like plenty of other drivers 🤦

    Think I read recently that an upcoming update will keep the rear as well as front lights on for daylight running. The amount of new cars driving around oblivious that they have no rear lights on in the dark is terrifying



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭Redfox25


    Having the lights on during the day would be great



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭innrain



    Considering there is a command to open certain holes it would have been nice to have one to light you up. Not to mention an automatic feature would be welcomed. First World problems though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭AFOL


    Is it my imagination or is regen braking limited on very cold days? I have had to tap the pedal a few times this week



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,265 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    Combination of cold battery, meaning reduced regen, and a recent software update also took some regen strength away!!

    Yes, a reduced green regen icon will show under the speedo since I think the last update. Can take a long time or battery heating before it disappears..

    Software update stuck on 58% for the last 4 days. Tried uninstalling the app and installing it again but no luck.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭innrain


    but that is software uodate on the car not on the phone. Restart it with the two button method.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,003 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Tried that and it's still the same.

    If I go into the car's screen it's telling me the car software is up to date as of 14 Dec 15.52



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭Redfox25


    Open a ticket on your phone. They will resolve this remotely.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,919 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    In weather like this you can expect restricted regen all day every day unless you are on a long journey or have a high power DC charge.

    I hadn't paid much attention, as I presumed the reduced regen was cold temperature / cold battery related. Did the update reduce the regen strength, or did it just introduce the icon that shows when the regen is reduced for cold weather or other reasons?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,265 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    It did both.



    I noticed a marked reduction in regen the day after I installed an update… and the temp was pretty much the same over both days/night……


    they did the same with one of the big holiday updates either 1 or 2 years ago…. Completely killed regen, but then it slowly came back to normal over the subsequent updates…..


    that’s my gripe with Tesla… they are always tinkering with settings which completely changes the characteristics of the car (and let’s not even mention how utterly sh1te the Vision / Wipers sh1tshow is!!!)

    Over the past few days, I've found the sensitivity of my brakes to be off when I first start driving - as in having to really push down the brake pedal to get the car to stop. It was actually a bit shocking a first, like the brakes were not working. I think this is a different issue to the regen. Is there any way to re-calibrate the brakes?

    As many here I am sure, got the latest 2022.44.25.1 this morning.

    Haven't had a chance to play much yet, just a shortish journey, but like so far what I have seen:

    Live camera now has option to view internal camera.

    Radio/music bar now on bottom right of screen, making the map screen larger. You also have more options on this bar, eg you can scroll to get trip info or tyre pressures. I like having the trip info.

    I think I will like the new indicator function. No real need to use the full left or right click at junctions any more. Just lane change seems to suffice, indicators will stay on till you change lane, or turn junction.

    And best of all, you can externally fart now from app...🤣
