Hmm just tried to reconnect my Tesla Model 3 to Octopus app but fails when you click the "Go to device login" button. I get a Web page not available message. Anyone else seeing this? I hope they cater for folks who configured multi-factor authentication...

Yes you are quite right. Arrived at the charger in Whitley Bay yesterday and found first one not working so moved to one of the other 3 and got a good charge. My Fastned account now says I have completed the registration for Autocharge so next week will try the one at Barnard Castle and see if...

Signed up to Fastned and hoping to try one of their chargers tomorrow so will see if the Autocharge as they call it works in practice.

I swung by Wetherby Services today and had a quick look at progress on the 12 Gridserve chargers. I saw no evidence that any Tesla chargers are going to be installed at this site which is no surprise when Ferrybridge further south and Harrogate to the west have recently opened.

I used the furthest one away from Purdy Lodge on Saturday and was fine. Previous night I saw a Model S charging on that same stall and was fine.

I was up at Adderstone on Friday evening and again Saturday morning and had decent charge both times. I could see other cars charging there at same time but it was no more than 3 out 6 chargers in use at what I would consider busy periods. Did not see any evidence of chargers not working and had...

Thanks for the info. Going to Berlin later in the year so useful stuff. Did you have any backup cards for paying for charging beyond supercharger network or did you plan to use regular UK bank card for payment? Are there any extra items you had for the trip that you would not normally have for a...

A close friend has a Jag iPace so we often compare charging stats. Recenty he had to charge on the way back from the Lakes in temperatures close to freezing and spent 1h 5m getting 40 kWh into the car. On a recent journey I stopped off at Rugby SC and took just 32m to get 40kWh into the car -...

A mate has the Pug e-308 and asked me to help him with the update. The larger 17GB update has all the maps for the whole of Europe so you can speed it up by deselecting countries you are unlikley to visit. I did that for my mate and the update took around 40 mins.

Related to this topic is question about profiles set up for 2 drivers who have Tesla app loaded on their own phones and registered with the car - lets call them him and her. Him gets into the car by himself and goes for a drive with the car recognising him as the only occupant. Next day both him...

Planning similar trip in my Model 3 in July. What did you take along for catering for a tyre puncture? I already have bought a jack adapter from Abstract Ocean but thinking about tyre gunk and a compressor. Did you arrange any charging at hotels?

My two pence worth. 1. A way to limit the power other than valet mode. If I let my son drive the car then allow him to use say x of the available power to stop him showing off to his friends. Also, wife rarely drives the car so having option to limit the power would make her less stressed about...

For me I would like an easy way to set your speed in road works on the motorway or A roads. I have had other cars where you could easily set a max speed to not go above or a cruising speed. So when you approach a set of road works it would great to set a max speed so allow some slow down/speed...

I might be old school but I actually like driving so not really a fan of letting the car have all the fun. On long journeys on the motorway of many hours then of course AP is great to reduce the tiring nature of motorway driving but on A/B roads I would prefer to be in control at all times...

Picked my Model 3 LR up from Leeds this afteroon - was suppose to be morning pickup but they had to fit a new windscreen due to Tesla spotting a chip in it yesterday. They had around 43 collections today so no wonder it was busy at Leeds. Car sat on drive charging whilst I wait for it to appear...
