Oh I see its from having the windscreen tinted. That makes more sense, although anyone half competent could easily protect these areas and just not go ham with the spray bottle. That said, I didn't have my windscreen done. Living out in Essex, I am willing to roll the dice on my windows but I...

Also not heard of any of those concerns tbh. I had my car fully tinted by Lussivo in Harlow when it was brand new, March 21. No issues to date. Alternatively there is the rather famous place in Basildon, Dub Customs. They have done some very famous vehicles in the past and have glowing...

I work for Tesla customer service. Pretty easy job to be honest with a LOT of free time to spend flicking through online forums.

I'd say its reasonably obvious. Because there's 2 outcomes out there. 1. People have been offered a deal that comes with a NDA that they have happily accepted. 2. People have been denied and would subsequently be posting about how crappy the situation is, in just about every forum available...

Got my update today and activated them before heading for home. Other than the full beams being on way more than before I found it impossible to tell if they were actually doing much. Felt very subsconscious following a learner down the road with my blue full beam icon illuminated. But, nobody...

Now if you want the best shot at avoiding next years price hike.

Mine has not worked since day 1. I can only recall once in the last 2 years or so that I've needed it of course, at which point I just turned off Octopus and started the charge via the car controls.

Definitely used to be an issue with puddle lights I remember that story. Drove through a puddle and got water up the door seal and then something with the puddle lights made the windows vent. Would make sense given the glorious weather we are having right now. Difficult to figure out unfortunately.

Its also as simple as your car not being online. Such as when you open the app and it just sits there grayed out and eventually comes up with a 505 error. I'm sure we have all seen that. If the car doesn't respond when Octopus tries to connect then there is a delay until it tries again and this...

Think you hit the nail on the head. We will probably get some kind of implementation where the system shuts itself down and by the time its back up and running, the thing you wanted it to record has long since been missed.

Yes they should register it for you

Yes I had exactly that! A 55 reg saab convertible. Absoloutly loved it but it started costing me money so I ended up selling it to my nextdoor neighbour. Still miss it sometimes.

Try doing it when driving.....at night..... I did it once on the way home from work because my spotify just would not co-operate under any circumstances. I'd heard about people doing it so thought, why not. Its kind of eerie driving along the road with no light inside the cabin at all, no...

Can't imagine this will be great news for the brand. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/02/volvo-looks-to-hand-over-control-of-polestar-to-geely/

I noticed both this year and last year that my renewals were quite late to show up. Tinfoil hat me says its intentional.
