Must of been a good 120 at least!

Got this rate from the new additional ones at Hopwood. 2020 M3LR with preconditioning.

Does anyone have a reference to what the charge added in the app/car is? I suspect this is DC so post inverter? If so, is the real useage of the car is actually 10% more due to the inverter losses?

Yes but sometimes you need too or like me, I get Octopus power UP sessions of free electric so I'm furiously hitting that bump button at the beginning of the session.

I get this but only between the time of plugging in and Octopus setting the charging plan. Can be 5mins to 30mins for me. Also after it has done that bit and is ready, with my android app, you press bump charge, it gives you that error but if you go somewhere else in the app like the home button...

I guess it's the luck of the draw? I'm on 107k miles with M3LR. Only used service for boot alignment and rear tail lights foging up.

I returned a non Tesla car back to lease. Use the BVRLA guide above it's really useful. Take pictures of everything that might be questioned. In my experience if it's being collected at your home it's the driver who collects inspects it. I had a ding which I sort of managed to pull out with hot...

Suave and sophisticated, just like Alan Partridge 🤣

I like hearing them squirm with excuses not to do MOTs on tesla. When they refuse you can request a 'refusal to test' decision in writing which they then have to upload to the MOT system.

I found with some updates the light height would go back to 'normal'. 'normal' being dazzling everyone! I usually have to do 2 clicks down on both sides to stop being flashed by every on coming car. (And yes the calibration was done with an empty boot and on a level surface. I can't guarantee...

Only the rears? Obviously not driving hard enough to engage the front motor 😜

All they tyre shops around me refuse to fit anything that's not TO rated. So many discussions with shop managers, all say no because they will be liable if something went wrong.

Mine lasted 47k miles on my LR with rotating them halfway.

Are you sure? I had my 3 phase uprated to 100a per phase from 60a and nothing changed. I can't find anything in the T's and C's with regards to this with Octopus, have you a link to this?

So the in day adjustment of the magic 3hrs use as much as you can an hour just before the session is no longer counted?
