Sales must be down as the model Y at £399/month has been extended passed end of May date and now shows no end date...

I use TeslaFi and I find it quite accurate giving information about charging, sleeping and drive efficiencies... I hardly use the Tesla app as it is easier to log in to TeslaFi and see the car's status, plus it doesn't keep waking up the car...

Well, I set the car/app as you stated and plugged in. I got the following schedules. However looking at what actually happened I find it didn't follow the OIG schedule! The charging started correctly at 3:30 but didn’t stop at 4:00. It continued to charge until 4:37 when it reached 90% SoC...

I tried out this method last night but I found it interferes with IOG, due to the Tesla schedule starting before the IOG schedule. That's the same as setting a start time of 11:30. So, I've come to the conclusion the best way is to have no schedules in the Tesla app/car and stop the charge after...

Churchill went from £440 to £614 (+40%) so I searched the market and went with Tesco for £527, although not the cheapest (Aviva was £738!). My wife's car was £205 and went to £281 (+37%). Now also with Tesco at £214. It pays to shop around!

Your image IMG_1384.jpeg shows that 64.3% battery was consumed to travel 129.9 miles. Therefore, 129.9 miles / 0.643 battery = 202 miles for 100% battery consumed. That is pretty normal for a 55kWh LFP battery in the type of weather we've been getting recently.

You will get an 60kWh LFP battery, in a RWD.

I only charge to 100% once a week and it may be left at that SoC for 3 - 4 hrs. That's less than 2% of the batteries lifetime at 100%. On average my battery is at 60% SoC. I don't feel that is too bad for the batteries health and complies with Tesla's requirements. After all the car is for using...

A Tesla gen 3 charger is £470 and a pen fault box is about £130 = £600 parts plus labour and cables breaker parts, etc. You would normally end up around £1,000 depending upon difficulty...

Auto wipers will never work! The fact that they are now changing (again) the manual wiper mode to up/down on the scroll wheel or pressing the wiper button, is a sure sign that they have given up trying to get the auto wipers to actually work...

Most of my drives over the last couple of weeks have had reduced regen icon. It normally goes away when temperatures reach 15C or more. However we've had some cold nights and it will take hours for the battery temperature to increase to that level during the day. Wait a few weeks and things will...

You only need to preheat, if you want to get maximum range, when going on a long trip for example. For general, day to day, drives it doesn't really help and leads to poor efficiency.

Something else I noticed on the navigation today was a weather warning! I've not seen that before...

Mine is the same! 1,972.6 x 6.99 = £13,7.89 and they charged me £137.92 Maybe the error is in the conversion from Cubic meters to kWh, but at least they should show the correct kWh used. And in my case it would have to be 1,973.1 kWh to make the calculation correct...
