Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

The Tesla will take up to 11kw AC and most likely the charger will give 7kw approx.
Usually you will have an overload detector on the charger which limits the draw to make sure it doesn't trip your house if someone is using a power shower, or you've the dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine, and oven on. Thats unlikely though in the EV charging hours.

PM a price maybe? Thinking about this but had a poor experience with a crowd based near the Red Cow, could see the film too obviously.

Can I ask your view on A250e? Hoping to buy one later this year, 2020 model.

I have one of the ones that straps to the boot, but I’d never use it on the Model 3 as the boot on the Model 3 feels like it’s made out of tin foil…

DId a round trip to Galway yesterday, 220km each way. Only useful std autopilot on way there but decided to activate the enhanced autopilot for return journey to see what it was like. Surprised when I got the message that autopilot was cancelled once before for inappropriate use and if that happens 5 times it will be deactivated permanently (paraphrasing here).

Does anyone know why autopilot can be deactivated for inappropriate use? I've no memory of any specific event. I have a slight recollection of some kerfuffle when I first used the autopilot, can't remember exactly what was the issue but it was purely due to learning curve familiarity.

This may not answer your question correctly - but this is from the support FAQ

Autosteer is unavailable due to driver attentiveness. How do I turn it back on?

If you repeatedly ignore the inattentive driver warnings, Autosteer will be disengaged for that trip. If you receive several
‘Forced Autopilot Disengagements’ (three times for vehicles without a cabin camera and five times for vehicles with a cabin camera), Autosteer and all features that use Autosteer will be temporarily removed for approximately one week.

There is no way to manually clear a Forced Autopilot Disengagement or suspension. After approximately one week, you will be able to use Autosteer again.

Im traveling the motorways a lot for work and since they introduced this new system I get warnings regularly, even with two hands on the wheel. The biggest issue is if Im driving straight and holding the wheel steady, its doesnt detect any movements on the wheel and I cop a warning. I appreciate why the changes were made with autosteer, but I feel they have gone way too far.

As @slave1 noted, as it counted per driving session, if I do happen get 3-4 warnings, I'll pull over, stop the car and then restart. Sometimes instead of driving through the express lane on a toll, I'll go through the booth and use that as a chance to stop and restart at the barrier (literally just need to put the car in park). This then resets the warning counter back to zero so I dont get a strike.

Well not quite tinfoil but probably aluminium which is just thicker tinfoil 😁

The random nature of the warnings is a bit of a pain. I got to the point where I was effectively steering the car in tandem with autopilot to avoid them so questioning if as well off with std autopilot.

Same with overtaking and moving back, I can't see why there is a need to apply pressure on the wheel wach time. I accidently deactivated the EAP a couple of times in the beginnning by applying too much pressure but continued to find the experience a bit artificial tbh.

Blue tac on the camera sorted mine😁

I put a cam cover over mine and just leave it closed. I still managed to get a second strike when I was travelling back from NI last week. I was cruising at around 70-80kmh because I had a headliner strapped to the roof bars and didn't want too much wind force to damage it. I had my hand resting on the wheel the whole time and it still managed to rack up enough warnings to get a strike. Seems to be worse at cruising speeds. It's the most annoying part of driving the Tesla.

Tbh Im beginning to think that I couldnt be bothered dealing with that sort of messing and think I may stick with std autopilot.

It seems ridiculous to me that the EAP is giving strikes to drivers who are essentially playing by the rules. I was holding the steering wheel the entire time and even regularly moving the steering wheel and I was still getting the prompts to apply pressure to wheel.

For what is a pretty impressive system otherwise I don't understand why Tesla didn't put pressure sensors on the steering wheel which would obviate the need for this silliness

I have the standard AP. I don't see the benefit of having EAP.

But its the frequency of the warnings which is ridiculous and the need to do unnecessary movements. I can be driving at cruising on the motorway and holding the wheel steady with two hands with AP on and get a warning, so I have to actually wobble the wheel.

Ive always loved driving this car and AP was amazing at reducing fatigue on my long trips. But now its Autosteer is second rate compared to a number of other of active lane assist systems.

tariffs on model 3 from shanghai might be imposed from early July based on the timeline from E.U.

Just stick a plastic water bottle in the steering wheel and cover the camera and you will never get a warning again

I mostly use a counter weight on the steering wheel, and when doing 100km/h+, I never see a warning, or blue flash on screen. Maybe on 2 or 3 occasions I have seen it doing over 100km/h on a long journey across Ireland. It's only when doing slower speeds I ever see the warning. Sometimes it says there is a cheat device detected and to remove it. I am always at the ready to grab the wheel with my hands resting on my legs, or just lightly touching the wheel.

Here's where it gets funny. I had the counter weight off the wheel for a few weeks recently and drove my usual route and random trips. I would leave my right hand resting to the right side of the wheel and my wrist resting on upper knee. This would emulate the same turning force on the wheel as the counter-weight. I get the warnings as frequently as when the counter-weight is on the wheel, as well as the cheat device warning! How can it detect a cheat device device when there is no cheat device? (not a real question)

It's ridiculous and needs to be sorted in an update.
