    UK: Tesla after-sale experience reviews in UK. What’s your experience?

    As this is Tesla there could be a more random explanation. (windscreens do attract a lot of bugs)

    [UK] Spring Software Update

    I had the update last weekend and it's OK but this morning my wife got in the car when I wasn't home and couldn't work out why the screen was just a huge red car! As I hadn't mentioned anything she assumed she had done something wrong and called me - hadn't tried 'drive' so of course the screen...

    UK: Tesla after-sale experience reviews in UK. What’s your experience?

    They can be rather erratic and light rain/spray seems to defeat them. On my Model Y, they 'usually' operate OK in normal or heavier rain and don't suffer from dry wiping, probably because I have never put Rain-X or other glass additives on any part of the windscreen. If you keep the glass around...

    Yes but beware the T&Cs which require you to make at least one smart charge per month. IOG is not meant to be used as a 6 hour Go. I have never found it complicated, it's always been faultless and pure simplicity - plug in, manually stop the charge via the Tesla app, a schedule appears sometime...

    The car should be (permanently) set to 100%, not 80% as you have shown. It is the IOG target that will determine the charge (ie 80%) Are you sure under 'Schedule' on the Tesla app that both 'Departure' & 'Charge' have all the sliders greyed out?

    Cybertruck Odyssey - Solihull

    Although I am now back in the UK, my friend in Idaho just sent these pictures of the Black wrapped Cybertruck we had spotted. It doesn't really change my overall feelings about the vehicle but black does suit the mean looking stance far more than naked stainless steel.

    UK: Tesla after-sale experience reviews in UK. What’s your experience?

    in 2020 I had two visits to the Stockport SC and on both occasions the work was completed promptly. Shortly afterwards a new one opened 3 miles from home and I have only needed to use that for a 'peace of mind' check-up prior to selling my original Tesla. I was impressed when parking up that...

    Charging anomalies M3 & Zappi

    Unlock Charge Port - Idea

    Many of us use Smart EVSEs (ie smarter than the Tesla ones) and these don't have a button to disconnect.

    Yes I’ve done this several times in the past 4 years without any issues. Use the same route back across to the Northbound side.

    Highland Rattle - URRGGH!

    Crikey, if your wife is that tiny then the car definitely needs vent covers!
