Pins 1-8 are wired in, which control the lights. So they should be working with the Tesla towing electrics, no matter which revision you have. If your caravan lights aren’t working, you’ll want to make sure things are working on both the car and the caravan.

This would fit with the far more detailed FSD visualisation. Almost all cars now show up whilst before I would only get the nearby car or two. Also, cars jump around far less and seem to do the fading in/out thing rather than materialising in different places on the screen.

I’ve arranged for a mobile SC as I’m guessing it’s already dying. It was a warm day, but this was in the evening, so not blistering at the time it failed to open.

I’ll admit I’ve scrolled through a few pages as I’ve been busy and all that, but just adding the disclaimer in case this has already been mentioned and I’ve missed it… With 2024.14.6, has anyone had issues with the powered boot? Yesterday, our boot flat out refused to open. The cinch motor...

I’m confused by your post. What is it you want in writing from Tesla? That you should not install the tow bar and it may invalidate your warranty? How would that assist you and how would they “renege” in anything?

I fail to see your point?

This is the official line for pre-Highland M3s. The towbar had to be factory fitted and then they would plate the car with a 1000kg tow rating (910kg for earlier models). M3s that didn’t have the towbar fitted at the factory have a 0kg tow rating. There is no official retrofit so Tesla will...

Leaving “Charge to add” at 100% all the time, irrespective of how much charge your vehicle actually needs will eventually lead to you attracting the attention of OE who will likely stop you from gaining any extra slots. You are abusing the system.

Exactly.

The main positive of using the Zappi integration (aside from it being more reliable) is the way it plays nice with surplus solar charging. You can just plug in and it’ll charge off surplus during the day and the remainder of what you asked for overnight. If you’re happy with the reliability of...

Only from what I’ve read on here (and my own car). The O ring is to stop water ingress into the powered strut. It’s quite a lame “recall.” The earlier recall was to do with the pinch point on the wiring harness causing this to fail. Two completely different issues. Sounds to me like they...

Depending on the circumstances, DNO needs to be contacted beforehand or notified after the fact. Here’s the flowchart they have provided. https://www.energynetworks.org/assets/images/Resource%20library/LCT_Combined%20EV%20&%20HP%20Process%20v5.5.pdf

Sounds like they’re weaseling out of the recall. Also, the O ring was for powered struts that came later. 🙄 If you have the energy, I’d recommend a small claims court action to recoup the costs based on what has already been covered here.

I would be asking them to look into that further. The O ring was for the powered strut on later models. I have a feeling you’ve been done over on this one and the issue you’re suffering is the exact reason the recall was put in place.

Didn’t you say you only had the harness recall carried out a few months ago? I’d be pushing that and saying the harness recall is at fault.

Package arrived today. Ordered a t-shirt! Though, they give enough points for two t-shirts, so maybe I should get another…

Wouldn’t it be nice to know what Musk is thinking? Or maybe it wouldn’t.

Musk has stated expansion will be slowed, sadly. Though some existing sites will be expanded.

So Elon has confirmed they’re slowing SuC rollout. It’s disappointing, but I can see it. As others have pointed out, other companies have sat back on their plans to roll out rapid charging networks and have been happy to use the SuC network, instead. Why put in the effort and expense when...

This is all very much speculation, but I wonder whether the surprisingly positive reception to the latest earnings call where they focussed on everything but private car sales has bolstered Elon to go full steam ahead on AI/robotaxi/Optimus/etc. It’s certainly a bold move, if that’s the case...

I am not trying to prove anything. I have referenced an article. I know Fred can be quite negative about Tesla, however this article is from a different contributor and he makes reference to an internal email at Tesla mentioning the layoffs. I struggle to see how Tesla can maintain a similar...

Can you provide some basis to this statement?

I wonder if by Gatwick they mean the 4x SuC at the Gridserve forecourt or the Gatwick SC? Either way, with the SuCs being significantly cheaper than the alternatives, they are going to be even more hammered than they already are with all the cabs.

Interesting news/rumour from Electrek today saying Tesla has sacked its ~500 strong Supercharger team. Apparently they will finish building the sites in progress, but no new ones will be going in. https://electrek.co/2024/04/29/tesla-conducting-more-layoffs-including-entire-supercharger-team/...

I was also baffled when I saw I’d been credited the points. Then I saw someone post about this on one of the FB groups. Looking forward to receiving the goody pack…

Seeing as we’re looking at the EU, not the US, here’s some figures: UK average income (2022): £34963 Spain average income (2022): €29113 That’s from Statistica.com Current exchange rate is £1 = €1.16 so that Spanish income is around £25.1k. Everything is considerably cheaper in Spain to...

If you look at the median, the US population earn a relative pittance. There are also a lot of people that earn a lot of money. The tech sector is definitely a gravy train in the US.

As someone else already mentioned, we’ve been paying higher prices since long before Brexit came along. Not just with cars, but everything. I remember challenging an Apple UK manager about the differences in price between the same models in the US and UK back in the early noughties. They...

It would be worth comparing the prices of the cars to the average/median income of the people in the countries. A Tesla may be cheaper in Spain, but people also generally earn a lot less, over there. We can afford to pay more as we get paid more, so that will be factored into the price. Works...

Dealt with a few of those, in my time. Naughty, naughty.

Just to muddy the waters, theft of vehicles also include those vehicles bought using finance where the purchaser has then done a bunk. Finance companies report the vehicles as stolen in hopes of this being recovered by the police. I wonder how many of the Tesla thefts listed are “regular”...

I’ve been using the Zappi IO integration since it first became available and have found it the best way to go about it. Just bear in mind you are setting a % of charge to add, not a charge limit. So don’t just leave it on 80% if you only need 20 or 30%.

Turn bluetooth off and back on again. On an iPhone, ensure this is done through the main Settings app, not through control centre.

I know I seem to be the only person that appears to have suffered this issue, but 8.7 seems to have finally fixed the issue with my driver wing mirror not raising to the correct level when setting my profile initially. It would always work when manually selecting my profile. It would work for a...

I had it on 8.4 but it seems to have disappeared on 8.7.

That just sounds like bad driving.

Charging schedules are generated based on previous charging speeds. As you’d had a slower charge rate previously, it mapped the charge based on the slower speed. As your more recent charge was at the faster 32A rate, you should find future charge schedules will be based on the faster charge...

I can only vouch for this anecdotally, but my driveway is on a slight incline and it seemed to me like the lights were slightly high after the adaptive lights update. I “recalibrated” by going into the light calibration screen on a flat surface and that seemed to improve things. Possibly.

I’d just point out that with the Zappi integration, the % you set is “Charge to add” rather than a target SoC. So don’t just leave it on 80% or similar if you only generally need 20% or 30%. If you do this, you’ll be given far more charging slots than you actually need and could be seen to be...

If you plug the car in on Fast mode it will just charge at the peak rate. You need to have the Zappi on Eco+. I’d suggest you simply delete the schedule on the Zappi to be sure. I would suggest all of this information can be found in the guides...

‘21 3LR on 8.7 and I’m also showing offline rather than asleep. Been like that since 2024.8.x.

You should, yes. Put the Zappi in Eco+ mode and IO will push through smart boosts to carry out its schedule. Also make sure there’s no schedules set in the car. You don’t have to delete the Zappi schedules, as long as they are deactivated.

I think Admiral have decided to go for the EV market. They’ve been the cheapest for us for the past 3+ years. They also had a big stall at Everything Electric in London these past few days. No other insurance companies were present.

There’s no need to set the Zappi to fast for IO to work. Leave it in Eco+ mode. IO schedules will be created pretty quickly if you plug in later in the day, however may not appear immediately if you plug in before 6pm, but will generate subsequently.

I also get the indicator when the issue manifests. It feels like the car starts taking the off-ramp, realises it shouldn’t be then indicates to change back onto the motorway and swerves back to the original lane, but it all happens very quickly and erratically.

AP jerking to the left then swerving back to the right when passing junctions has been happening to me for years. Curiously, it doesn’t happen in Spain. There’s something about the layout of UK motorway junctions than confuses AP.

Yes. You’ll integrate via the Zappi, so IO won’t interact with the Tesla directly.

As it says “Charge limit” it means you’re using the Tesla integration. You could try disconnecting your car in the IO settings and set it up again but when it asks how to connect, select charger rather than car. If you select Zappi first, it’ll integrate via that. Be mindful it will also ask...

You’re in the settings. You need to have a look at the Devices screen where you set the charge % and ready by time.

What does the Devices screen show when you look at charging preferences? Does it say “Charge to add” or something like “Charge target?”
