New colours are likely due to Berlin production for RHD cars.

The tilting mirror, my guess is you have comfort access enabled which has its own profile and which has them set that way, I don’t use it so can’t remember how to set it/enable it etc. but I’d look there. I’ve heard people sometimes create duplicate profiles with just a few differences which you can select, mirror position being one of them, giving you options to relatively quickly toggle between 2 positions
Those new colours look great!
Type 3 would look ace in those colours too.
I read that the Berlin plant was the only one able to do the red colour.

I wonder why the Y will be coming out of Berlin in a few months, perhaps to gear up the China plant for the updated Y?

European LHd M3 and Y have be coming out of Berlin for ages haven't they? RHD cars come out of China.

It looks like the new colours for the Y are coming out of Berlin, though RHD. Unless the China plant has a new paint shop!

There's a new RWD LR Model Y that's launched in some LHD markets in Europe.

Berlin has only made Model Y (LHD until now) but as you suggest they have been for some time. M3 in Europe still all come from China

The Berlin production now exceeds the European demand for MY with excess inventory/capacity, add shipping issues because of the Middle East crisis and it seems they’ll start making at least some of our RHD cars in Berlin.

It’s been around at times in other parts of the world but yes it’s here and at quite a saving. It makes more sense to make a lower spec car that’s cheaper than trying to keep cutting the price to boost sales.

My Model 3 is LHD and it came from China. Ordered in Spring 2022 and delivered in June 2022.

Me and My wife both have profiles on the car, and both have the tesla app, but logged into the same account,

how do we link each phone to each profile so the seats are set for each user? Cant work it out......
Any pointers on this one at all?

Hi. We've just done this.

Ensure you keep your keycards separate and work through things in a step-wise manner.

One keycard first, set up phone and seats etc. lock car, return with phone, tap "Yes" when prompted to link phone to driver profile.

Second person then does the same with second keycard and phone while first user keeps their distance.

We have one test left to do (with wife doing a second return), but it worked for me this morning after she last drove.

Bonne chance!

Its fairly easy - what you don't want to do is use the account profile as that will be flip floppping between you, use a profile thats just in the car. Easy thing is to give them your name

Once you have a profile thats how you want it (and saved), in the locks(? might be securit) menu you'll see a list of key cards, phones etc that have access, work out which is your phone, and then select the head, this will bind the profile to that key.

My 19" Hankooks are due for replacement and I still can't decide if I want all seasons or not. I'm learning towards "no" because the softer sidewall isn't very appealing and it hasn't snowed down here in years.

I came across Continental SportContact 7 and they're T0 marked but they're V-rated. It looks like Tesla has dropped the speed rating in their manual which is a bit odd.

The SportContact 7s are impossible to find in the UK so if I order them from Germany and get a puncture one day, it's going to be a bit of a nightmare. They're so highly regarded that it's still tempting...

Since the last update, netflix seems to have disappeared from my arcade/toybox icons, how do I find it now?

Does anybody else suffer with the following:

  1. Annoying squeaks from the rear, particularly when no passengers. Kids have also set their seat backs to different angles, which doesn't help with the afterthought parcel-shelf damping boominess (or not!)
  2. Finding the lack of auto-volume control a bit 1990s? Almost all cars I or my parents have since 1998 have been able to make adjustments based upon road speed, which is better than nothing. Surely Tesla could have included something, perhaps even based upon mic-feedback to tailor to actual ambient? It seems like such a basic omission in such an advanced car.

Do a reset via the scrollwheels on the steering wheel , it'll come back.

Yes, Tesla fitted noise reduction seals to the 23MY onwards boot. The irony is the rubber makes a creak/squeak against the plastic trim it closes on and sounds awful. Starts about 3-6months after delivery.

Silicon grease them and it’s gone. Needs done once every 6 months I find. I booked it inoriginally, but now just do it myself!

The auto volume that goes up as speed/cabin noise increases would be an admission the cars get noisy smile

As for noise from the back, I found the rear seats in the more reclined position was the best to keep noise down, but I recon most of my noise was mechanical from the suspension through into the cabin. I drive an iX now, the loudest noise is my watch ticking.

Would have loved an iX and test drove the 40 & 50. Just not enough confidence in the UK charging network for our useage profile at point of sale. Improving all the time though.
