    I have basenor products in the car and I saw the basenor version. I went for the other ones because my feeling is they come from the same factory and seem to be identical. Thanks for the pic and on closer inspection, the basenor ones look a bit better made. They look well. I'm cancelling the set I ordered and will get the basenor ones instead.

    Hi Guys

    Been following this excellent thread for the past 2 years and thanks to Gumbo, Slave1, Fingleberries etc l took delivery of my model 3 last September.

    Can l ask what products people are using to clean their cars inside and outside.

    Heading up to Reflect Autocare tomorrow to get a few products so any recommendations would be welcome.


    Thanks


    Zoe

    Don’t go too overboard. All I do is hose off the heavy dirt then use a good microfibres mitt with a neutral ph shampoo with two warm water buckets. And collinite 845 wax about twice a year. Easy to apply.

    I am not too fussy but my cars have always been swirl free and as new after two or three years. Tesla paint now appears to be as good as the best of them

    Agree with the above. Don’t go overboard at the start. As you get into it you’ll realise you either like it and will

    want to fill the gaps with different products or you’ll realise that your happy with the basics.

    Id start with the following, assuming you have a power washer.

    Get a snow foam Lance.

    Get some snow foam.

    Get some wash mitts (I use a lambs wool). OnlY one is enough.

    Do you want to use the bucket and mitt method?

    Get a shampoo.

    get a drying towel.

    get a spray on detailer.

    sorted.

    If you can, go online now and pick out your products. Add them to your basket for click and collect and use code RAC10 for a 10% discount.

    1. it gets you a discount.
    2. Stops over spending in store.

    So I had the car a few months and I noticed the switch for the electric seat on the passenger side was broken (the one that reclines it).

    Obviously kids getting in had kicked it and broken it. Got the ranger out and he fixed it. Fast forward another few months and it was broken again. Kids got a severe warning and I left it broken. Few weeks ago I got the ranger out to replace it again.

    This time they were warned getting in and out of the car to be careful. Went to hoover it out this morning and guess what? Broken....again.

    Kids are now banned from the front seat going forward and I'm not fixing it again.

    Anyone else breaking theirs?

    🤣🤣

    Mine was broke on collection but it was a used demo car. Once they replaced it I’ve been cautious but I know deep down it’s gona go at some stage with the kids in and out!

    Someone else posted a similar issue in here recently. On my commute home, I was driving on an 80km/h road and autopilot limited the speed to 30 until I passed a speed sign when the road changed to 60. A half hour later, the same thing happened on a 60 road, limiting me to 40. The notification was about autosteer being limited at the the indicated max speed. Is there any reason for this, or anymore info about it?

    90% of my driving has been on the same route and 3k klms later, this is the first time the max speed in autopilot was limited like this.

    I've found that the car can misread some signs. There's a sign on a road near me showing no right turn and the car picks it up as a 70kmph speed limit sign. I assume if you disable autopilot being restricted to the current speed limit it won't happen.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,581 ✭✭✭...Ghost...


    My suspicion was maybe dirt on the cameras, but I don't know how the car finds the road speed...Google, or physical signs?

    I was able to increase speed by pressing the pedal. I was unable to scroll to a higher max speed, which I can normally do (including on the roads I had the issue), so the car reading the sign incorrectly still doesn't explain it being autopilot speed limited. It's an odd one.

    If the car catches badly aligned side road speed limit signs then it will take that as gospel and limit when in autosteer, sometimes I come off a 80 road onto a 100 road and the car will limit to 80 until it reaches the first 100 sign

    Folks, need some advice on where to go for tyres (standard 18" wheels). Need to replace all 4 but dont want to get shafted by going back to Tesla direct. South Dublin preferred please



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 15,326 Mod ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    I bought mine online from Eiretyres and had them fitted at my local tyre place for around €20 per corner….


    delivered to my door and I had them fitted at a time that suited me…



  • Registered Users Posts: 689 ✭✭✭Mike2006


    Uploaded 2022.40.4 tonight and took the car for a 30mins re drive along country roads.

    The auto lights operated flawlessly… Oncoming traffic dipped from a good distance, driving behind cars - dipped early - no issues.

    looks good at early days anyway. I will be well impressed if they continue like this as they were absolutely rubbish and I had turned them off..

  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 39,131 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    Im assuming you mean Auto High Beams?

    I have auto lights on 100% of the time but have AHB off and leave it off even for AP and NOAP.

    My AC is set to 18-19 in normal weather, I wouldnt call it cold.

    Interesting to note, my default in my S was 20 and in my X was 22. Seems like the 3 has a better system for heating.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,968 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    Smaller/better build/saloon so cold boot is well separated from the cabin and has a heat pump, if cold cold the Model 3 will run the rear motor to scavage heat to assist the heat pump.

    I've seen a huge heat difference coming from my S also

    My M3 clears the screen and heats the interior faster than any other car I've ever owned.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,968 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    Yeah, was 1degree in my car this morning and when I looked out it was all condensation, hit the car defrost option on the App and all perfect when I sat into it few minutes later, that would have taken a good 10minutes with my S or any previous car

    I found that the airflow direction makes a big difference here.
