In your logbook (Or Tesla's account under the Proof of Registration), you will find the Engine code. That will correspond to the below table for Model Y (if it is MIC)

So 3D3 and 3D7 listed = 137 + 194 = 331 kW = 444 BHP

But some of that is probably only unlocked when you purchase acceleration boost I suspect.

Thanks.

Been reading through this thread and found a lot of useful information. I'm debating whether to pull the trigger on a Model Y. Still torn between the RWD and the LR. What are peoples thoughts on the current discounts. Will I wait for the discount to re-appear in January and get a 241 reg.

Bought a MY LR in march from inventory , not sorry. cost me €5k over RWD . Love the car.

if discount on the MY (i assume some inventory offers will arrive over next few weeks) is matching the depreciation , then go for it

Did you get a discount on that inventory car when buying in March? Still mulling it over myself but the closer we get to January 1st the more buying a 232 plate now would potentially bother me, if I knew there'd be discounted cars going in the first half of 2024 I'd definitely just wait (even just the original 6%, doesn't need to be 10%). I had some scratches on my 3 that I needed to get repaired before selling/trading, I didn't think I'd be able to get that done before the end of the year but I got a cancellation and got these fixed yesterday. So I could still buy now but leaning towards waiting anyway.

I will definitely be getting the AWD, being able to charge the standard range to 100% would have been very handy for the past 4 years when I didn't have a charger but I will get getting one fairly shortly so capping the daily driving charge at 80% on the AWD makes no difference to me. Would rather have the extra power and slightly better range of the AWD, €7k extra isn't a huge amount to pay if you're keeping the car 8+ years like I'm planning to. I do 10,000km a year so not massively worried about degradation either, it would need to degrade about 18% just to match the range of the standard range car when new.

Questions over the battery, and the AWD feel is a lot more vanilla than the RWD. Mightn't bother anyone buying an appliance mind you.

The battery bit will annoy you over the long term though - not really allowed access the longer range consistently without hurting the battery, and a lot sooner than 8 years the range being the same anyway.

It will depend on individual use cases whether the LR additional range is worth it or not. I've a weekly trip that I nearly always return from with <10% remaining in the LR, usually less than 6/7%. I don't think I'd be able to do the trip in a RWD without a quick splash at Ionity, even if I brimmed it at the start.

Royale with Cheese

I've a 4 year old Model 3 with 40,000km on the clock and it's stated range is reading about 11% degradation in that time and I've been charging it to 90%.

that’s what I’m thinking too. Better to have the money in my pocket now than waiting for higher resale value.

Discounts normally appear near the end of the quarter, so if you want a 241 plate, then you probably will have to wait until March. Otherwise, go for the 232 discounts and get delivery quickly.

TMY

Spot on. Avail of the discount and don't worry about the 241 plate and resale. A 5k discount is a huge amount of supercharging 😁

josip

It's still much of a muchness. The 5k lower price now roughly corresponds to a year's depreciation, which is what you'd 'save' by holding off until Q1 2024. There isn't really a right or wrong decision.

Anyone found the auto wipers so bad of late that they’re unusable? Previously worked fine for me.

Can live with them not being sensitive enough when it’s raining as I can turn them up manually, but the new thing is them going like crazy on bone dry days when the sun is shining

Essentially means I can no longer use lane assist as you can’t turn off the wipers with lane assist on.

Usually a bit of dirt in front of the cameras. I find a clean usually sorts that.

Autowiper useless at the moment, complaints all over Tesla Motors club.

Other things that is annoying the hell out of me at the moment is auto- defogging - again complaints all over the Tesla Motors Club.

Wipers were fine for me until two updates ago, auto-defogging has been a pain the last 2 weeks.

Gave the auto-defogging a benefit of the doubt in the cold snap (even though all windows were clear when it was enabling itself), but its still happening this weekend with the cold snap gone.

What’s auto defogging?

I leave my AC settings as follows :

auto.

Adjust temp only. Never once have any fogging on windscreen.

Yep have mine set to auto all the time, when auto-defogging kicks in, it blasts hot air upwards towards the windscreen (orange de-mist icon wil come on below the temp with the text auto-defogging). This might happen for 5 mins, stop for a minutte, start back again for a couple of mins etc. No option to disable in settings, only option is to turn climate control to manual.

Theres a thread on it on the first page of UK Forum on TMC, for some strange reason link wont work.

Also don't have fogging on winscreen, back window, side mirrors etc...thats my point, if there was then I wouldn't mind.

Slowly coming to the conclusion that anything "auto" related with Tesla is a bit too unreliable don't get me wrong -great cars for efficiency, eco- system (superchargers, accessories, third party apps), good infotainment system (but completely overhyped). I like the car a lot MYP, just don't love it.

Ok. I’ve never had auto defog kick in to be honest across all 3 of my Teslas.

Me neither over 4yrs and 2 Tesla's.

Also find wipers fine on the Y since March, don't wipe enough in misty weather the same as my old Golf and my wife's BMW.

Wipers are terrible. I see auto defog kicking in a lot these days.

Anybody else having connection issues with their phone key the last couple of days? iPhone

No issues here. Did you install an OTA update recently? Worth trying the two button reset. If that doesn't work, delete the Bluetooth pairing and reconnect. See how that goes.

blobert

Yes, same on Android/Samsung. Did update about a week ago

No issues with phonekey whatsoever but the last month I’m having issues with the phone connecting to the car for Bluetooth calls.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. I have to click the screen and connect.

DrPsychia

I don't understand why Tesla wouldn't add a simple rain sensor. They must be incredibly cheap when buying at scale. Simple and effective. Elon said back in Q2 there would be a fix only a couple months away...... Elon and his promises yet again...

The release of the holiday update with the high fidelity park assist changes, 2023.44.30.1 has started in the UK.

Has anyone here installed the update yet? Interested in hearing first impressions

Haven’t been promoted yet.

Got it this morning on the Y without even checking if I have an update. It just popped on my app that I should connect to wifi. Surprising as I'm on standard and usually very late to get updates. Some difference in the projected trajectory.

Software Updates get rolled out to cars over a period (no all at once). For anyone who has yet to get the latest update ...it's only a matter of time so patience is required. Car's software (and mobile app) checks for available updates only once every 24 hours. When update is available to download you will see it on your mobile app as being available to download.

Gumbo

44.30.32 installing just now.

It mentions the door pillar cameras are now available on sentry mode live viewing. That’s a welcome addition.

Also blind spot red warning when indicators are on and it detects something alongside you.

Edit sorry. It’s on a Model 3. So possibly wrong thread.
