    MG Cyberster concept EV roadster

    I’ve bitten. Ordered GT dual motor red with red/ black interior today - delivery hopefully August but more likely September - was so tempted by the Inca yellow. The M3P was my 2nd Tesla M3 in a row and I needed a change. If the new M3P had been a little more different I’d have probably have...

    Andersen EV charger support

    Just checked, and mine’s back online again now - don’t trust it to charge off-peak tonight so will use the schedule in the car too

    Andersen EV charger support

    Me too - was hoping there’d be others. According to the App the signal strength to my router is good so I assume it’s a problem on Anderson’s end. Loads of disconnects over the last 48hrs but always seemed to reconnect straight away. However, it’s been off for a couple of hours now. Need a full...

    Last Decision: Color

    My first M3 was black - huge mistake. Quality of Tesla paint is awful and the black showed every single little mark. I’m very careful, snow foam, 2 bucket and hardly any contact when washing. Within a few months the paint was marked all over the place. Plus, it’s a nightmare to keep clean. My...

    UK Highland Orders

    Got a similar message but about a 0% original or highland deposit - replied yes and have heard nothing since - however, like @phil4 am waiting for the Performance to be announced to replace my current M3P. No concrete details yet though in any markets about the P

    So… Highland is out…

    I’m not sure that’s the case as you’re still able to order the performance (for the same dates) a d it’s not even been officially announced yet. Plus, when you select things like different wheels on the LR it’s the ones that have been available for some time showing on the configurator and the...

    Intelligent Octopus Question

    I was in a similar position - had been on Octopus Go for 2 years and really liked the simplicity and knowing exactly what was what and when was when - and really didn’t want to hand over control to Octopus and their App. However on renewal this year, the Go tariff was 10p off peak for 4 hours as...

    [UK] ‘Highland’ order discussion

    I paid the full £64k for mine (red exterior and white interior (which I’ve seen as low as £56k)) and don’t regret it a bit - mainly because at the point I changed I’d paid £49k for my M3LR and got £50.4k part-ex, 18 months and 8k miles later). To remain competitive, and with the Highland...

    [UK] ‘Highland’ order discussion

    On the M3 forum it’s gone very quiet on the new Highland refresh (who’d have though it, Tesla delays) and if the Cybertruck (Worldwide) and MS refresh (UK) are anything to go by, Tesla work on their own timescale - usually years behind promises (both hardware and software). I got an M3P in...

    Rushden Lakes now charge for charge!

    All Pod Points at Tescos did the same about 12-18 months ago - went from being free for a few hours while you use Tescos (or just sit there watching Netflix) to charging per kWh. It wasn’t the charging though that I went for - more the wider spaces that our local Tesco had for the PodPoints! Now...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Changed from GO to IO yesterday - all seems to be fine except the smart meter - which says our unit cost is 7.5p all the time. It used to work with GO, changed from 7.5p to 35p and back again but for some reason this isn’t happening with IO. Does anyone know if this is normal just because the...

    Me too - tried everything. Glad it seems to be a widespread problem and not my A2 failing. Car charged as expected last night in my 4hr GO slot and no warnings / disconnects this morning so assume it was their server issue and it’s been fixed
