Sorry for the spam. Does anyone know if it's possible to test for accuracy or damage to front radar in a tesla? (DIY)

You need the Tesla Toolbox software to do the calibration properly though. At least the above shows you where the sensor is located so you can get an idea if your bump has hit that spot.
Radar seems to be working fine. Dent is elsewhere, but there is some superficial scraping over the radar area.
Approved body shops won't consider a repair anywhere central, needs to be full bumper replacement and radar calibration. 3k.
So it's live with it, or lots of mutual hassle.... Guess I'm going to find out how much how hassle.

Thanks that's useful. Page 5

Recently just picked up a model 3 Performance and first impressions are incredible. I knew it would be fast but I have never experienced anything like it!
I have the "standard" autopilot and it seems to disengage within 10 seconds whenever I put it on. Both hands on the wheel, weather is fine and motorway driving yet its not happy following the lane for some reason? I used to have a volvo s90 which seemed to be more stable with the autopilot. Was hoping if anyone could share any advice/tips or if anyone has similar issues?

You have to learn to trust it. If you give it any input, it'll hand control back to you. Just hold the wheel gently and don't fight it.George Smiley said:

I had tried both methods of just lightly holding it and with pressure but it didn't make much difference. The only experience I have of autopilot was from the volvo which, as long as you had a slight grip it would work without any issues on pretty much all motorways and some general roads. I guess I just need to play around with it more and get used to it. America with its simple roads, it s

That doesnt sound right. it should warn you ( blue highlite, text notice, chimes) to put your hands on the wheel if it isnt detected. This takes longer than 10 seconds.Are you sure you are in Ap mode not just Cruise control? Tapping down twice on the indicator (only when there is a grey wheel icon lower left of the speedo).
Once in AP mode you should have the current lane marked in blue, and (if there is one) the vehicle ahead marked in dark grey.

When I'm in cruise control mode it works fine (single press of the stalk). Are you sure you are in Ap mode not just Cruise control? Tapping down twice on the indicator (only when there is a grey wheel icon lower left of the speedo).

Issue arises when I double press down on the stalk and I get the blue lines on the screen showing I'm in Lane and its reading the lines. After a short duration of time it just goes off and blue lines disappear off the screen and change to normal grey lines even though I'm on motorway straights. It hasn't managed to stay in AP for anything over a minute, usually cutting off after 10 to 30 seconds. (I don't press the brake/accelerator pedals or steer - just have my hands gently on the wheel)
I just think I need to keep at it and it should sort itself out. I've only had the car for a few days so I am going to put it down to that. If the problem persists I guess I will have to get in contact with tesla.
I’ve had my M3P for a month and, compared to the Volvo system (which is itself nothing to write home about) it is absolutely dire.
On a routine stretch of A road I use the cruise control disengages about 5 times, and drops the cruise speed limit - at one section to 25mph (there were roadworks here until recently). When activating CC it wants to set the speed to the limit it believes is in force, rather than the speed I am driving (* only when driving under the speed limit - eg where the car thinks the limit is 60 but it is actually 30). It also drops the cruise speed when using any slip roads, to 70, or even 50.
Due to regen braking, I have to sit with my foot hovering over the accelerator most of the time, as if cruise control disengages the deceleration is significant (day 2 of driving it I nearly had a tailgating transit in the back of me when CC disengaged on the A14).
I would genuinely have sent this car back if it were a Standard M3; as it is, I can forgive pretty much everything for the incredible acceleration from the P model!

Yeah I could not tell you why Tesla decided to do the opposite of every cruise control system I've ever seen or used and change the speed when activated.
EDIT: Apparently, cruise will use the higher of either your current speed, or whatever the prevailing limit is. If you set the Speed Limit Warning relative offset speed to a large negative number the cruise control should use your current speed as the target.
