UK hasn't changed, but it's still *somehow* one of the cheaper networks even at "sticker price". The changes to other regions are fairly minimal. Electroverse / ovo have a discount available without membership, and the memberships (while not something I particularly like as a general way of...

They had Tesla Energy Plan and now have Intelligent Octopus Flux where you get this. What gets complicated is that a typical tesla owner wants this, but also want to charge a car cheaply too, and maybe run the heatpump cheaply in the night and afternoon. It gets complicated once multiple...

In Europe we have the option for tethered and untethered cables. For the untethered you bring your own cable, which is supplied with the car (Reduces maintenance / thefts for the charger owners), which is why you generally want to keep the cable locked to the car

I think etiquette wise, if you're leaving a charging cable locked when you're finished charging, you're the problem. The Tesla destination chargers will generally cover a couple of bays, but you're probably right that there won't be a huge number of scenarios.

When charging, both ends will be locked. So some ICE driver unplugging isn't an issue. The question here is about being able to unlock once the charge is complete. And actually I've had situations where this might be super helpful - eg two cars sharing one charger at a B&B. I could just unplug...

I have Solar and Battery which is setup for export. For an assumed 1hr session, My "normal" over 10 days was probably 1kwh as the battery frequently runs out by that point and we cook. I charge overnight at 7.5p on intelligent Octopus. When the DFS notification comes out, home assistant holds...

1% Club, 25x impact

If you can get insurance, remember that driving on the right takes some time to get used to. I'd probably look to do "aire to aire" on autoroutes if I was letting someone inexperienced drive the car.

Cleeverly looked at mine as mobile. I think it's perfectly sensible to get a car looked at by a professional after 25k miles. Mobile is a little more expensive, but so is travelling to Gloucester. They spotted some issues I hadn't, eg wear on the inside of the front wheels was far higher than...

Which might mean you get away with it, or might mean you get pulled over by the police or boarder control over unpaid fines if you revisit the country. Personally I'd prefer to try and avoid speeding anyway, and if not, get fines by post and pay them

Android auto is shipped as an App, so you'd get updated up until a point. They don't support the new releases of android auto on old android versions *forever*, but not is it "latest version only".

The implementation doesn't warn you of specific speed cameras, it warns you of "danger areas" which are approximately 2-4 minute segments which may or may not contain a speed camera. Here's TomTom's description -> About Danger Zones My understanding is that this approach is legal, and also...

No, but I can recommend ALS Tyres in Bracknell

I've generally used electroverse in europe, but occasionally in the UK. I've generally found that the prices are at least cheaper than any other roaming RFID. For Europe, sometimes rules aren't properly passed along - the rules at 3p/Minute after 2 hours, whereas octopus charge that...

Onboard charger fault is a good call. I don't know if the service menu might warn for that. You'd have to have 2 of the 3 modules fail for 16a max I think your best next step is to try against another charger (Neighbour? Friend?) and see if you're capped to 16a on that as well. Unfortunately...
