It should be but they don't seem to want to make it easy. We were interested in a new estate being built near us. I mentioned to the sales rep that I liked plot x vs plot y because it would be better for solar. She informed me that there were covenents forbidding solar panels on the development...

If the device just splices a controller into the up/down, inflate/deflate switches you could program an Arduino board to do the same. When the power switch is pressed it acivates a sequence something like while count < 5 do inflate 5 seconds roller up 2 seconds roller down 3 seconds ...

"as a gesture of goodwill." They have a funny way of spelling "Legal obligation under UK law"

It's funny that they give two different ways to remove a car. The second is what didn't work and the first sounds like it'll completely erase the car. I'll try sending a mail to that address though and see what they come back with

Yeah I've had a search and could only find issues with the time taken to remove the cars rather than the process itself. I checked the sticky and it only appears to have sales/delivery and local service contact details although maybe I'll fire one off to each of these and see if someone points...

I know and I wouldn't be so happy if I had paid the higher amount. We simply don't need two cars sitting idle while we're both working from home and mine had a nice gap between the sale price and the outstanding finance. I'll not be buying another Model 3 but maybe a Model Y if/when we do need...

I've sold my car to a dealer and wanted to remove it from my Tesla account to prevent them/the new owners supercahrging at my expense. There is an option in my account to remove the car but this results in an error when clicking on teh removal link in their email. Has anyone tried to do this...

I've just sold my M3P white/white 8k miles for £47k directly to a buyyourcar dealer. I know others have ahceived more but in my case that's under £4k depreciation in 10 months - I couldn't have rented the car for that amount so overall pretty happy (except for now having to drive the wife's V40 T3)

Nissan have a feature that washes the rear camera to avoid some of these issues ;)

Later... Dear Geordie12, We use a third party to supply the chat bot software to which your queries were directed and in this instance the information they have given you is incorrect. We're sorry that they haven't lived up to our usual high standards so will offer you a £10 discount on your...

From what I understand, in simple terms, they drive the motors inefficiently. In slightly more complex terms (i.e. I might get bits wrong), the motors are 3-phase so the drive electronics change how in/out of sync the phases are causing the motors to stall slightly as they turn. I think this is...

That sort of person would be the same regardless of their car's make. I bet they'd want to jump the supermarket queue because they're buying Hovis and not Tesco value bread :D

I contacted Churchill about the insurance and was told that wheels under £750 wouldn't add to the cost, legal tints wouldn't add to the cost, clear PPF was acceptable but I couldn't alter the colour of the car in any way (I wanted to wrap the A-pillars and roofline in black) @VanillaAir_UK You...

If you have easy entry enabled it'll save the setting in that profile.

Gateshead council's response was far less welcoming than some. Their response when shown the image of the cable duct installed in the pavement was "Unfortunately it is not allowed to lay a cable across a public highway as shown on the attached picture." When I pointed out that it was installed...

I've used Hikvision for years but have blocked their external access so no concerns about them phoning home. Dashcams tend to record at up to 30-50Mb/s whereas your typical home CCTV camera will be closer to 10Mb/s hence dashcam recordings will be 3-5x larger than the equivalent CCTV camera.

I was reading a forum thread about updates on the MG ZS ev requiring a dealer visit. The dealers have don't have a set cost so some were getting it free yet others were being quoted an hours labour. The update in question reduced the amount of annoying chimes, bongs and other warning noises that...

For an extra £1500 you can get close :P

My plans to buy a Y would change if that were the case. Over half of the current cost of petrol and diesel is tax (57.95 pence per litre fuel duty and then 20% VAT added on top) so imagine the gov't doing the same to electricity for use in a vehicle. Let's say a litre of fuel carries a car 10...

I'm sure the early cars were built in batches so it's quite possible that a bad batch of components would affect a group of model/colours.

I've charged to 100% a couple of times before long journeys and found that I wasted that extra few % through lack of regen. My reckoning is that 100% is pointless unless you're literally a couple of miles from the motorway/dual carriageway and you plan to drive under the speed limit. The lack of...

It may be lockdown boredom but giggled when I saw that the flexible plates come in an envelope warning "Do not bend"

That's not his face beard - salons have been closed too long for people to wear anything skimpy ;)

I found out yesterday that the centre headrest can lift up so perhaps you can put the mirror there instead. I don't know where I saw it but someone added their own emergency release cable to the rear doors by drilling a small hole in the door pocket to allow a cable to attach to the release...

I'm running it on a Pi 3B+ which also runs PiHole and a PiVPN Server I also have a Pi Zero W running Grafana and MongoDB to capture stats from my SmartThings hub which will likely be a similar load. As above, if you installed PiVPN alongside TeslaMate you'd be able to securely* dial in to your...

But, doesn't American insurance cover the car for any driver, not the driver+car combination as it does in the UK?

Might be worthwhile for high mileage drivers but for others I'll bet that their admin fee (£25-£50) eats up any discount.

Got it last night, had a little bit of fun this morning playing with the new track mode. With 75/25 power split and traction on -2 I was able to get the back end to kick out just a little at low speeds :D I wouldn't dare reduce the traction control any further on public roads though because...

I was looking for your app this morning and can't find it in the Play store on either web or mobile. Will it be back soon?

I had some warranty work done and received an invoice with charge so you may still receive something.

It picks the details up from your Tesla account so will only work once your car is assigned to you. I signed up the day before collection and it worked fine.

Does your car have it's own space to park? Could you build a miniaturised electric fence? It'd be cheaper than the ratmat and less susceptible to standing water.

My wife told me she had "washed" her car by herself (first time ever) the other day. What that actually meant is that she had taken it to the local jetwash and sprayed it, remembering not to use the foam brush, which left the car looking like a zebra. Needless to say it was somehow my fault so I...

I hope this bottle will last a long time but I'll keep the dodo juice in mind! Yeah it worked really well. It was quite windy and my neighbours cars are in close proximity so I was spraying the cloth then rubbing a spot at a time. I could see it being easier if I could just spray an entire panel...

I tried and it seemed to work well but I was concerned about its effects on the paintwork which in hindsight is probably silly given the alternatives.

My mum's arthritis means that I usually open car doors for her anyway as even normal handles can be dificult on bad days. She needed both hands to open the Model3 doors so now I always open them for her, and often for other passengers, to save that window dance.

My front bumper has a couple of chips that are better described as gouges and the black plastic underneath really contrasts with the white paint. Today while cleaning I noticed what appears to be a film over the bumper, has anyone else seen that? I'll post a new thread when I take some pics.

Are not a good combination! I gave Starbug a thorough clean this afternoon including using some Gtechniq W7 Tar and Glue Remover to get rid of the black spots before applying a "ceramic" spray wax (Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic) As always I threw the used wash mitt and cloths into a bucket ready to...

Yeah a guy named Bradley came out to sort a few issue with my car. He's from Gateshead but covers anywhere from the borders to Sheffield and across towards the M6.

I've made something similar but need louder speakers as you can't really hear it when it's inside the frunk. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gWtRPiNx7BdbCrCZ6

The government could use the £3500 to install a new charger for every EV sold in a given borough :)

Diminished value - Wikipedia Is there anything like this in the UK? It would take the sting off your future insurance payments.

On its way

Ok so the police would still require the other driver to make contact regarding the "alleged" hit and run regardless of insurance involvement?! Good to know :)

My parents had a Scenic years ago and I'm sure there was a small piece of the seatback, at the very bottom, that was held on with velcro to allow easy access to the isofix points. I used to use a seat protector but gave that to my wife after hearing of people's seats being stained by the base...

Same here, the driver's mirror doesn't seem to have the full range of motion. I'll be asking the mobile service guy about that tomorrow.
