Tesla Talk 2

No that's wrong,a Tesla robot will get it done!🤖

I reckon FSD remembers past recent safe places to pull into. I have seen videos online where the FSD car has reversed to unfuse a sticky situation.

There's nothing on that Standard that I would miss, actually prefer the seats over the leather, there's the front camera as well and of course the infamous indicator stalk.

Can always get an aftermarket screen for a couple hundred quid. Its effectively and Android screen - never as good as OEM but its still very functional and not hard to fit if you are comfortable pulling a couple of panels off. Its plug and play - but there is a few cables to plug into underneath the vents. I've put one in my 202 M3.

I purchased off this store - they are Irish based also and were great to deal with also and would happily recommend them.

Had a lovely day out at the beach ruined to come back to a scrap on my right rear corner. Obviously someone reversing in or out of the spot beside me.

Had sentry on and it recorded 25 events. All just people walking past. No recording of the car hitting me.

Mad that it records a person 6 feet away but not a car 0 feet away.

No major damage but it comes just a week after the wife's front left side was badly scraped in a car park situation.

No note, just drove off.

Does this work in the Highland ?

I have a question about used model 3s. Units advertised on the Tesla website for under 30k, are they to be stirred clear of. What condition would they be in?

Tesla only directly resell good examples as CPO sales, so have no fear.

Had one for 5 years not a bother. But only got it to reduce glare on my cross country motorway commutes when the sun is reflecting off my screen. Cant say its been much use this month.

I have a Spigen (matte finish) no issues at all.

Takes the glare out of the screen without losing clarity or touch sensitivity.

Would recommend

So just a generic note: My former and current Tesla never had any random error messages with exception to the when there was an actual fault with charging port wiring loom on my Model 3 when it was just under 4 years old. The user experience is just perfect and the car is well rounded and integrates well with the charging networks when you are on the move around Europe and feels like a total mature product like a modern mobile phone. That previous car never showed any signs of wear and tear apart from the steering wheel cover and the rest still looked and felt brand new both inside and out after 100k.

When you hear a VW owner comparing their day to day life like the pioneering days of ICE in 1920's with random breakdowns and generic error messages even when the car apparently works normally you just have to give the credit where the credit is due. There is a stark contrast with what the media says about the quality issues of Tesla vs. the actual user experience.

It's mad how the EV forums are full of threads where potential car purchases are discussed and "I have no interest in Tesla" usually is mentioned at some stage. "I'm ready to move to an EV but it can be any other sbox as long as it's not Tesla". And then almost in the same thread a workaround for some basic issues are discussed which just work with Tesla and the Superchargers.

If you don't mind the somewhat bland looks and like good value for money and a reliable and well designed cars with great performance I can't see any reason not to at least go for a test drive.

It very much depends what model you bought and when. I got bitten quite hard by buying my former car back in 2021 when the prices were almost at their peak. The only saving grace was that I got the full VRT and grant which still applied at the time of my purchase. A few unlucky buyers may have paid additional 6k on top of the 58k I paid at the time.

When selling, the Irish market didn't seem to care that the Model 3 LR AWD was a very different animal from the identical looking SR+ that has dramatically less range and performance. And both of them are, in the end, a 211 reg white Model 3 and that is what matters in the market. I hope the current owner is enjoying the amazing deal they got when buying it 8 months ago. I also reckon it's now in 2026 worth a few thousands of more than when I sold it so totally depreciation free driving with another 90k+ of Tesla's excellent drivetrain warranty left when sold until 2029.

If you bought a 3 premium LFP late last year for about 38k, congratulations, you'll get to enjoy a very low depreciation over the next few years. Same with the current Standard models of both 3 and Y. For me, this time, the plan is to hold on the Y for a very long time and drive (and hopefully let it drive itself) to the ground. Will it reach 500k under my ownership remains to be seen and with what repairs? But I have a full confidence it will be with minimum headaches.

Ah shite.

You were hoping to sell it prior to this too?
