Best Tesla Forum ?

[SagMan]

Please can I ask your advice . Which Tesla forums would you recommend for Tesla owners, there seems a number .

Had software update this morning - 2020 8.3, trying to find out what’s updated . I’m only a week into ownership so apologise if should already know how too. Nothing on app, I’ll check in car also

Thanks

TMC seems to be fairly active, or SpeakEV, obviously.

TMC is US focused and there are a lot of fanboys on there. For info on UK software updates SpeakEV might be better.

The UK software is much more limited than the US.

TMC is the most active forum I've found, and it does have a UK/Ireland-specific forum:

Regarding the OTA update, if there were release notes, they should appear on the car's screen when you first get into it after the update. They don't include those notes in the app, for some reason...

Often the release notes are only for the major versions and the x.x.1/2/3 patches dont get as they are only bug fixes.

So the release notes for 2020.8.3 are the same as for 2020.8.1/2 , what else is fixed we dont know

Looks like .3 might be US specific stop sign stuff

Facebook Tesla uk owners club (not the owners group) allows non owners and offers sensible advice.

The owners group you can only join after you have ordered by which point it’s too late. It’s also controlled massively by Tesla who even dictate the role names of members and stick an NDA at the beginning of simple polls.

TMC is good for geeky stuff that’s not uk specific otherwise I find the uk area a bit ‘where’s my model 3?’

Speakev is broad EV with a Tesla area but again, a lot has become ‘where’s my M3’ or people just endlessly talking about delivery slots and colours. However good broader knowledge on charging and general living with an EV.

Tesla.com also has a forum/chat area.

We call them "early adopters"
There are subsections for other countries, the Dutch one I frequent is active as well.
