I think the point here is that truck driver shortages don't necessarily equal supply chain issues. For example, most countries in Europe have had truck driver shortages for years. The single market helps to mitigate that. The UK is no longer in the single market so, well you know the rest.

Just wait until the UK gets the courage to start doing import controls on EU goods like any sovereign country would then see how bad it can get.

"kill -15 vi" surely?

p.s. Nice user number. Beats me by a long way :)

Even if this made any sense it is still stupid when we could have still had access to Galileo even with leaving the EU. The UK left the Galileo negotiations because again, it didn't understand that the EU looks after its members, not third countries.

I think I am starting to agree with that

Thanks for the info. I'll have a go but admit I am not optimistic. I haven't used the auto high beam control in ages either because it was similarly useless when it arrived :)

I'll give it a go :) Who knows, maybe it works now. Can you un-train it if you happen to press it when the screen is clear?

I get the press to wipe option too.

Glad auto works for you though. I don't know any other Tesla owner who it does work for but maybe it's different for me in Norway.

Maybe I should mention that I drive a Tesla Model X. The auto wiper feature is marked as "beta" in my car as I imagine it is in your model 3. It isn't good enough to rely on and I certainly wouldn't rely on it when my windscreen is suddenly drenched in water because in my experience, sometimes the camera does not recognise that I can not see. At speed, it is a dangerous gamble.

In the X and S, you don't need to take your attention away from the road, you just quickly rotate the turn signal stalk. Almost instant as opposed to possibly instant.

I think the point here is that safety features should have a button. For the most part, even Tesla understood this on the Model X and Model S at least.

If they notice at all.

Occasionally I have had a truck or car travelling in the opposite direction hit a large puddle and absolutely drench my windscreen in a mass of water. I am glad I can instantly turn the wipers to full speed rather than get a single wipe by pressing the button or press a different button, wait a moment, give a command, wait a second and then perhaps 80% of the time, have the command carried out.

Would you rely on voice control for the brakes?

Tesla do it using a camera, not a rain sensor so it is not that good. On my Tesla, it is even marked as beta functionality at least it was the last time I decided to try it.

"On the wiper issue. If there really is an issue there (which I doubt) Tesla could fix it with a fairly easy software update. For example the button at the end of the turn signal stalk can modified so that if it is pressed multiple times it will step through wiper states. Once: one wipe. (as it is now) Twice: wipers on slow. Three times: fast. Then if they are running then one press to turn them off. Something like that."

Or they could have done the same as they do on the S and X i.e. you can set the wiper speed by rotating the end of the turn signal. Much like most cars. It does strike me as a dogmatic approach to move this to the touchscreen rather than a sensible approach.

Automatic mode on a Tesla is next to useless. Most Model X and Model S owners disable them as we have a stick control.
