Just some covers. I got them from Tessories: Wheel Accessories - Tessories UK 🔋 As Jason71 notes, they cover the whole rim of the wheel which has been handy on at least one careless occasion! Though the set I have don't appear to be in stock with them anymore. Lots of other providers though...

Thanks for the write up, always good to hear of people's impressions of things. It's an odd thing about the lower boot opening - I've heard a few people comment about that!🤕

@Jason71, yes it' a RWD model. It had been averaging 220 for a few months during the summer but the winter cold and ran has seen it creep back up.

🤷‍♂️ My off peak rate is 15p per kw, which I know isn't as cheap as some have managed to bag, but as far as I can find, a cheaper off peak rate would result in a higher peak rate than i'm paying so it seems to cancel each other out in the bigger picture. If my charging cost divided by my...

On 1st March 2023 I proudly took delivery of my MY, with 14 miles and 39% battery. One year later it has covered 15,760 miles at an average of 224Wh/mi During that time the only issues I can recall have been: Picked up a slow puncture which required a new tyre after only 6 months. Returned to...

@surfnsail, welcome to the forum. Hope you can move on from this bumpy start and gain the enjoyment from your car. I'll have had mine for exactly one year tomorrow and I still get a thrill from having it.

I have this exact same gripe. If I switch from Spotify to the radio I get deafened! Surely there is a way of correcting this so they work to the same level of volume? Can anyone clever offer any ideas?

If it's just a bit of condensation on the inside of the lens it should clear up on its own. This is normal apparently. If the water starts to pool then it's an issue. From your description it sounds like nothing worth worrying about. In the recent colder months I have noticed some mild...

Polishing that is not going to hide the damage unless you have pro-level abilities with an orbital polisher and a wide selection of cutting compounds. However, a DIY level of competence might still be able to make it look less 'raw' and to a point where you are happy to live with it. Where...

@Xfrank - wow - that's some dedication and investment there- you are obviously a hardcore fan of the brand!!!

Did your message auto correct from 'not' to "but bit" ? According to Google Maps, these chargers are all of 1.8 miles from J10 of the M1 and a mere 1.2 miles from the Airport. 👍

Tessories Touch Up Paint Not tried it myself, but might be worth a go?

That area in the North East is a massive space without a SC, though I imagine the population is much lower. The areas west of the M5 heading to South Wales and the whole of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall are also big areas without a SC nearby... Again, population is likely to be lower and I...

Thanks for the link, Andy - I didn't want to have that phrase on my work computer's search history!!😉

Am I reading this correctly that people are suggesting owners need to repair damaged caused by hubcaps clipping onto the alloys? 🤔 If the alloys themselves are marked by the OEM hubcaps, then I don't see that anyone should be concerned about getting the alloy repaired. Even if you are using...

Excuse the question, but what do these knobs do and where are they intended to go? I'm assuming their simply a variation of the buttons (but in knob form? 🤔 🫣)

@ WIIXM, Rest assured, after receiving confirmation that it should be replaced, I shopped around and got it replaced for (a little!)cheaper than my initial research had suggested.

Update - New tyre put on today. Wallet feeling much lighter!😒

Yesterday I noticed some damage to my nearside rear tyre. I can't tell you when this might have happened and I've no idea how it happened. I've logged a service request with Tesla to take advice on whether it requires a new tyre - my instinct tells me I do, but I don't really know. The depth of...

Just wanted to reply to this thread and say thanks for all the responses! It seems like ages since I was on the Isle, but we had a great time and it's been busy since arriving back on 'the mainland' hence my delayed thanks! There were 11 of us staying in a big house and I contacted the letting...

I'm off on my little hols to the Isle of Wight next week and it will be the first time I've ever needed to be reliant on public charging. I'll be leaving home with 100% charge and plan to top up again at the Antelope Retail Park, using either the 50kW or 120kW chargers they have there. ABRP...

Fair play to you for giving it a go in the first place 👍

To have this happen to the OP twice is ridiculously unlucky. Hope your luck changes!!

Just finished reading this thread after deciding I needed to understand sentry mode a bit better. Sadly one of my neighbours had their car stolen off their drive a few nights ago and when they told me about it I started wondering if I could have offered them any helpful footage had sentry been...

I think you can get away with that mismatch with the wood 👍

I saw the first photo and my very first thought was "doesn't look too bad" Then I saw the top of the dash and scrolled down to the interior pictures!!! o_O 😄 Are you aiming to do a full rebuild and refurbishment on this car then?

The first picture looks ok to me? If anything, the second picture looks ever so slightly off, but I doubt I would have noticed if I hadn't been searching for the issue.

I agree with SoCal Buzz. 2 votes for contrasting colours. If you're set on red with red, then I think you need to go with the same colour as the body - though after some brake dust and road grime have got onto them no one is likely to spot the different shade.

EV1980's 2023 Summer Tour of the IOW - things could get wild! 😄

I noticed the disappearing map was happening to me yesterday while driving in an area the car hadn't been to often before.

Yeah, I got my eye on that 50kWh instavolt at the Macdonald's on Brading Road, there's are also a few more 50kWh and 22kWh chargers around. Though they all seem to be individual chargers rather than multiple chargers in one place. Ideally i'd like to get to Southampton then charge up to 100%...

Been a while since i've read through this thread - I could really do with Tesla sticking a few superchargers on the Isle of Wight in time for my week away there this summer 🤞🙏 Failing that, one in Southampton near the Ferry terminal would be really helpful- I'll keep my eyes on this thread in...

Sorry to hear about your car - hope it all gets sorted ASAP. Make sure you park so that the damage can't be seen from the house to save you the grief!! 😉

I doubt I would have considered that issue. The damage would have really pi**ed me off!😤 Hope the repair is a good one.

I think this is a common worry for new owners awaiting their new car. I had the inspection app downloaded to my phone and paper copies of checklists at the ready but there was nothing wrong with my car other than the PPF that had a bubble trapped within it on both sides. This has since been...

Thanks for the reply but that's a strong no on that suggestion. o_O

I bought Thule roof bars and cycle carriers for my previous car a BMW 4 Series. Currently these are slowly gathering dust and I wondered if there was any way of purchasing an adapter kit so that it can fit the Model Y. A quick search on Thule's UK site only shows items to fit the Model S -...

Nothing showing for me on my Samsung still......... Does the App update itself or do I have to do anything to chivvy it along (i'm assuming the former?)

As far as I'm aware, the only option in the UK is to pay monthly.

Is that available now in the Tesla App? - how do we find it?

@ian2023, sorry to hear about this issue. Having been involved in three prangs in my previous car, I know from experience that It's something we could all do without! Without seeming like a rubber necker, have you any photos to show what £4.5k-£7.5k worth of rear damage looks like? It seems a...

I think this quote sums it up nicely!

1980 miles in two days? At an average speed of 75mph that's over 26 hours of driving - In between charging and sleeping, did you have any time left to see what you needed to see there? ;)

Body coloured tyres too! 😉 Just looking at that makes my mouth really dry somehow.......

The other thread linked to makes a suggestion that the change from a cooler underground carpark to a warmer air temperature (possibly with Air Con on) might have exacerbated any structural weakness in that particular piece of glass. However, that's unlikely to be a factor in Flightman's case. I...

😄My first thought too! What the heck is that doing in that dusty shed? Surely it should be kept in a locked and airtight vault guarded by armed security? 😉

I'm assuming this means I have LFP based on the advice offered?

I'm in the UK with a China built MY RWD - is my battery LFP? How do I find this out?

It's obviously your online stalker - look out of your bedroom window, they're probably watching your Tesla right now......... ;) 😂
