Tesla Talk

To be fair it didn't set out to be a balanced disccussion on electric vehicles. Its theme was recent court case which was Tesla specific and focused on the tech ....so perhaps you were expecting too much..

There’s no chance that tesla are happy with 90% of those leaked pics - more recently it’s just pics of one being towed after breaking down, or horrific panel gaps throughout a preproduction model - and now the leaks are suggesting it’ll be far more expensive than initially thought, never mind that their battery production capacity means they wouldn’t clear the cybertruck preorder backlog for many years.

Tesla are certainly not doing cypertruck PR with controlled leaks :)

What should one expect to pay for the installation of a Tesla wall charger? I know I get the €600 grant toward purchase

Not dead set on the Tesla wall charger but I like the button for opening the charge port, how sleek it looks, and the price is decent. What else would you recommend?

I was considering the zappi but I won't be charging off Solar. Load balancing isn't a consideration because I typically won't be charging during the day, nor do I have a heat pump. However, if the zappi is more reliable then I will go with it.

That was mentioned on a thread a while back. I got it touch with SEAI in August and they confirmed that the Tesla charger was eligible for the grant and it went through without a hitch. That was my recent experience anyway, would suggest anyone considering one to do the same.

I found a phone number for SEAI by searching online and gave them a call.

I wonder if people will be able to make similar cases against tesla for the likes of TeslaVision park assist being not fit for it's intended purpose and those who bought EAP after USS deletion didn't receive the promised features due to the "transition". Calling it a transition period doesn't

Its a very long transition period, totally not affected hardware limitations, software and neural nets will do everything hardware can but better.

Imagine if any "Legacy" brand tried Musk's approach of Beta testing to the general public and continuously not deliver reasonably functional features . TeslaVision, deep rain, FSD, EAP. We'd never hear the end of Musk's moaning if the shoe was on the other foot.

I think the key phrase they mention in the TeslaVision press release is "Once these features achieve performance parity to vehicles equipped with USS, vision-based vehicles will have these features restored via a series of over-the-air software updates".

I would argue that these systems can never reach the same performance parity because software can't make up for the lack of some type of physical mapping hardware. If a rear camera or front cameras vision is inpared due to dust, water on the lens or lack of pristine lighting conditions then it can never reach performance parity with USS.

If I pay for a promised feature but it's not delivered within a reasonable time frame then I expect compensation. TeslaVision does not replace inputs USS once provided.

In that entire TeslaVision press release, Tesla are basically asserting that the camera based system is not only a substitute, but an enhancement due to the claimed benefits of high definition spacial positioning and longer range vision. Nonsense.

Since the system does not reliably provide inputs like USS did, hypothetically i believe customers may have grounds that they were misled by perceived equivalence. Equivalence which is not provided within a reasonable time frame, and in the case of EAP and FSD, not delivering at all.

Rant over😂

Hi All, Had the Tesla service guy out there to do a tyre rotation on a model y.

Left it a bit too long, almost 22k kms up on her. The guy said rear tyres are on the legal limit thus he cannot rotate them to the front.

I didn't think they were that bad and fronts are pretty good. But he's the expert and he was a gent.

We don't drive the car hard, 22k kms sounds low for needing tyres changed. But having said that id imagine front will be good till 40k kms so it would be just 2 tyres.

Any opinions? think he mentioned 250-300 Euro per tyre

Quick question thast just popped into my head.

Heading away for two weeks sun in middle of November and wondering what way to leave the Model Y RWD? Just charge it to 90% and leave it alone and unplugged or leave it on the charger and monitor?

Asking one of the adult children to plug in and out is a step too far as they will struggle to open the fridge to feed themselves and loading the dishwasher will be enough of a challenge so don't want them tio have a breakdown with any additional resposibilities.
