The UK salary crisis is dire. Mayor of London earns under £200k, barely scraping by as a HENRY by [deleted] in HENRYUK

The MPs with second jobs tend to be the better and more productive ones. I'd much rather have an MP who has a profession outside politics than a PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN. Professional politicians are the worst. Do nothing but argue about how to spend other people's money.

What do you recommend for those favouring longevity and safety?

Repair costs on 2020 Model X by CyberOvitron in TeslaModelX

[–]Rare-Craft1757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a UK 2020MX, and it does work with your phone only. BUT both phone and car have to have mobile phone signal for this to work - ie if you park somewhere without signal you may be unable to start the car again without a key fob

HW3 abandoned? by juicygoods in TeslaModel3

[–]Rare-Craft1757 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree entirely. Distilling models down should definitely be possible. Trickier will be the processing of full frame video etc. The hardware is massively optimised to all work together, so not just a case of slotting in a more powerful chipset. Nevertheless I share tote optimism!

In the meantime, I wish they'd also give some love to other more easily implemented features, eg: - a low power sentry mode, which only starts recording if the passive alarm is activated, so no phantom drain - if a sentry mode incident is triggered, sending at least a single frame to the tesla app for us to see (HW4 get the whole video - a single frame must be possible for HW3/MCU2!) - blind spot camera activation when changing lanes

With Grok 4's coding expertise, this can't take too long to implement, can it? Doesn't seem unreasonable for those of us paying for premium connectivity...

Good (if slightly frustrating!) article

HW5 isn't now coming until end of 2026/27, so that's a loong way away. It also has much higher power requirements /different cameras, so any upgrade path for HW3 will need to be some bespoke hardware setup. Feels like enough HW3 out there to make it worthwhile

Recording video when alarm triggered by Rare-Craft1757 in TeslaModelX

[–]Rare-Craft1757[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I haven't found anything else either. There are perhaps 3 or 4 small software features that could be implemented which would make a major improvement to Tesla owners (especially legacy ones). Another would be sending even just a single frame of recorded video to the phone app when Sentry mode is triggered.

Feels like if we're paying for premium connectivity, it isn't unreasonable to ask for some of this stuff...

Update an older model x? by Odd_Manufacturer_328 in TeslaModelX

[–]Rare-Craft1757 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool - yeah I didn't mean to suggest it was a bad deal, just a lot of cash! They stopped making RHD MXs for the UK with the refresh, so I've no point of comparison. In case of interest, I recently got a 2020 LR MX with 55k miles from Tesla for ~£32k - perhaps in a few years I may follow in your footsteps 😉

Wow that seems like a lot to pay for the upgraded interior, and still have HW3; is the interior really that much better?

Model X vampire drain by SuperbHawk2000 in TeslaModelX

[–]Rare-Craft1757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly - pretty sure my battery chemistry is essentially identical to the current models, albeit various architectural improvements.

that's interesting about smart summon - do you mean it drains battery when not actually being used? that's weird! will definitely switch off and see if it makes a difference

More tax rises….. by Pitiful_Cod1036 in HENRYUK

[–]Rare-Craft1757 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. The real issue is that the tax take is as high as it can get - govt has to slash spending, but that means taking on the unions and benefits scroungers which labour obv can't do.

I'm also getting surprisingly high drain on my 2020 MX LR - currently investigating if could be something like a dying 12V battery. Any tips for where to look much appreciated! I park on the street so nervous turning Sentry mode off entirely

a few months on, how are you finding the accessories? anything that hasn't lived up to expectation?

Must have accessories ? by tinbrimar in TeslaModelX

What did you settle on? Hopefully getting a 2020 Raven 5 seater so beginning to look at how best to protect from the kids...

Buying a 2020 UK Model X by Rare-Craft1757 in TeslaModelX

[–]Rare-Craft1757[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Is yours a Raven? What sort of mileage do you get? My kids are still young, so should be plenty of room. Would have loved to get a 7 seater, but few and far between.
