Tesla loan question
There is a "finance" section in the app as of a few versions ago, maybe the documents will be available in there? (Sending something physical via the post doesn't feel very "Tesla").

HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]
That certainly doesn't sound like the latching issue that they had previously, but just incase… it's a simple self fix if you don't want to wait to get a new connector installed… https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6332879/
New inventory availability
I think it can really depend on the specific car, some inventory listings are for vehicles still on a boat (in the past this was indicated by the more generic locations, rather than specific delivery locations) so can still be couple of weeks or so before the car is even in the country.
just noticed that one of the sites has a telegram group for push notifications - not tried it myself, but someone may find it handy: https://t.me/teslauknewinventory
TeslaMate [megathread]
just to update on this, I've had it plugged into a basic smart plug for that does power monitoring for the last week. It's probably not the most precise thing ever but it's reporting about 5W at idle.. (ignore the name, it's the one I usually use for the Christmas tree on the lawn). for...
slightly off topic... but someone may find this handy... as I had teslamate and a couple of different projects running on my 4gb pi4 it was feeling a bit slow and I decided it was time for an upgrade or a second one. If you hadn't noticed, the larger memory versions are quite difficult to get...
Where are the chargers?
That's basically how it was before, and I always thought the same, it should fade out to white under there as otherwise they often blend into the map underneath.
This is what we could(should?) be getting back to.
From the looks of the latest Chinese software update, they may be coming back to the main screen, as well as the shortcuts that used to live at the top of the screen
Mine has been offline from time to time as I accidentally had the repeater on the same timer as the Christmas lights for a bit and it seemed to be ok. so as long as it's connected to initially set up, I don't see why not (unless it has some sort of kill-switch if it's off for a long time). But...
Thanks! I wasn't aware of the sharing endpoint, that's pretty awesome - if i can have a one click button to play a video I will actually use that, as it sometimes takes so long to get youtube/netflix up when charging I rarely bother
basically, someone stumbled across an unprotected teslamate instance, and then (probably via shodan) found more, and as we know, any headline with "Tesla" gets attention, he also made some (in my opinion) pretty wild claims at the time... i'm no expert, but pretty sure you can't control the...
Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries
Could be sooner than Q2 here after all…
Wiki [UK] 2021 - The Holiday Release - 'holiday fun' not V11 UI changes and features
to be honest, apart from physically plugging it in, there isn't much you need to manage, usually charging will be just on demand or on schedule - and once that's all set up then apart from changing things for big trips etc, I rarely even open the app.
maybe they'll add volume control for santa mode? fun for the kids, but current volume is a touch excessive, or just have the option for the sleigh without the music.
not been keeping a close eye on this thread, have any cars delivered this month arrived with the new Ryzen MCU and low voltage lithium battery? or will we not see those until feb/march?
so there are, they must have just been added as they weren't there 5 mins ago!
looks like there is just one left (black m3p with FSD) - I've read that in the US you can get them to remove FSD from new inventory, not heard of anyone trying that here yet. https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/m3/order/LRW3324_6359831c0d32adf85a5b48c70585bfa8?token=&titleStatus=new&redirect=no#payment
Percentage battery charge is a percentage of what? (2021 MIC M3LR)
I've never actually used it (for reasons above) but when I originally looked into it, TeslaFi does have some pros, like "push" commands, such as the ability to schedule climate & charges etc and whilst Tesla are catching up with their own 1st party support in the more recent updates of the...
Of course, people are free to give their tesla tokens to whoever they like, but my point stands... it doesn't come without risk and just because 14999 other people are doing it, that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
this is a bit of a false sense of "security" to be honest, (unless something has changed recently that I'm not aware of) the token still gives access to the real(ish)time location of the car, ability to unlock, remotely start the car etc. Who is behind teslafi, do they have any 3rd party...
FYI - if you're interested in keeping a closer eye on things, you could look into Teslamate, it's 100% self hosted so you don't need to give anyone access to anything.
I've helped a couple of friends pick up cars earlier than they were expecting recently as they didn't know about the whole inventory thing, so for anyone who may be new here.. 12 cars at the moment, LR & P https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/inventory/new/m3 these are most likely still on a boat as...
Didn't pay anything until it was all fitted. Installer sent the invoice a few days later.
Mobile app updates
Nothing major that I noticed, it tells you how much energy you added in the last charging session (at least I think that's new), and let's you view battery % or range at the top.
It's not the end of the world, I'm sure they'll get around to fixing it at some point. At least I'm not alone.
The car has now decided it wants an update too, can't imagine it will make any difference but we'll see.
Moderation comment - thread renamed to include general 4.4 discussion from "Mobile app 4.4.0 gone metric?" Since updating to 4.4.0 my mobile app (iOS) seems to have decided to show stuff in kilometres rather than miles (so range and last charging session for example). Anyone else seeing the same?
4.4 android app ios kilometer kilometre km metric miles time
Not sure if it would apply to teslamate as it doesn't actually send commands that would wake the car up but mixing apps can cause issues, so two instances *could* impact the cars ability to sleep efficiently. You would probably be better off looking into additional redundancy and...
Used Long Range with Performance spec
Look closely at your screenshot, it says "model 3 long range performance", it is actually a "performance" just without the (optional at the time) performance upgrade pack (wheels, brakes, spoiler and I think pedals).
MCU-Z (Ryzen) listed in the EPC
wonder if it will be offered as a retro-fit?
One of these things is not like the others…
Photo from a rather busy Sunday afternoon at Rugby, popped in for a cuppa and came back to find this. Interesting that they just charge the car while still on the truck.
Tesla Trade In - Number of previous registered keepers
Interesting how it varies from one to another, just from experience I got way over their initial estimate, but I guess a lot of that was due to the spec (I'd ticked a lot of boxes when I originally ordered the car, so was pleasantly surprised as it was really above my expectations).
Depending on your distance from the delivery centre you may be offered a "chauffeur" service operated by GoZero (an uber-like service that exclusively use Teslas) they'll also give you a bit of a demo of the features on the way there (if you need it). It's a pretty good idea, They also pick drop...
try motorway.co.uk, as they essentially auction directly to dealers, if you have something desirable (e.g. I sold a convertible at the start of summer) you can get a really good price. I got several thousand more than tesla had offered.
What ICE would you preserve?
Bit of a mouthful but the 911 GT2 RS MR is really quite special and probably the peak of 911 evolution (until the next one, but that will be a hybrid), if I had the money (and talent) it would be nice to pop one around the 'ring every now and again.
Server Error 500 and what options to avoid potential issues
500 (usually "Internal Server Error") is a pretty general status code that means something has gone wrong on their end, it will (probably) get fixed soon
Home Charge Points Discussion and Suggestions [megathread]
The hypervolt seems to be quite popular in here (has its own megathread somewhere) mines been flawless so far. If you're not too fussed about aesthetics, I think the ohme has been quite popular in the past as well.
Some new 3s and Ys without USB
if it's true for the MIC cars, I would assume so as it's still a listed feature: Convenience Power folding, auto-dimming, heated side mirrors Custom driver profiles Center console with storage, 4 USB-C ports and wireless charging for 2 smartphones edit: just saw they're promising to retrofit...
v1.25.0 released yesterday https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate/releases/tag/v1.25.0
Alloys (disappointed)
did you move to something wider than the original 235s?
looks like 245s are now official spec, which would help a little bit https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6025673/ but generally 20"s on any car are going to need a bit of looking after especially when they're dark grey.
UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences
Unless I'm missing something, it's normal to have a cut out section in order to give clearance for the power-lift strut (only on the one side).
SR+ name dropped, now just "Model 3" and listed range increased
Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]
nice little video from bjorn on this
I would hope they have a plan that doesn't involve an additional 10k superchargers/year sitting around waiting for somewhere to plug them in...
well there is this... https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-supercharger-v3-factory-completed/ "The facility, which is capable of producing 10,000 Supercharger V3 stalls per year, would play a key role in the company's aggressive expansion of its rapid-charging network."
The announcement page states "Future sites will only be opened to Non-Tesla vehicles if there is available capacity." So hopefully they'll not pick the busiest sites.
