Unfortunate position!? Having had 3 years worth of Tesla fun is not being in an "unfortunate position". 😂🤣

Well my M3 had it's MOT today at Lavender Motors in Haywards Heath West Sussex, and all was good. The Bradbury 3 Tonne lift had suitable extending arms (extending from the centreline out towards the sills) with rubber pads that could be placed under the jacking points. The technician referred to...

It's more a question of the MOT tester knowing how to do things - how to test the electronic parking brake, how to lift the car up, how to lift the wiper blades, how to put the car into towing mode etc

I was one of the lucky ones who received by model 3 in August 2019, at that time seeing another model 3 on the road was a very rare sight. Anyway it is coming up to the time for it's first MOT. I understand that Tesla do not do MOTs, so the advice is to take it to a garage your trust. What...

I've had a reply from our installer - We have followed up with Tesla regarding the issues that we have both experienced and have received the following, hopefully UK Power Networks will get the grid stabilised again soon. Tesla support provided this - So it appears the Powerwall was doing...

Anybody else suffering from false power outages, where the Powerwall goes into backup mode for a few minutes and then recovers? It started about 10 days ago, after over a month of happy operation following the installation. Yesterday I had over 50 event, and today at 11:40 I've already had 20...

I'm on Octopus go at present, for night time M3 charging, with solar panels recently installed and a powerwall arriving soon. I'm thinking I'll be able to set the system to charge the powerwall during the 12:30 to 4:30am cheap slot, and then use the powerwall to supply the home during low solar...

I've wondered the same. Been out to supermarket and back (2 mile round trip), get out of car and close doors and the fan starts up. Open the doors and the fan stops. Strange.

How do you find out who is your supplier?

I've been using simple 3 pin plug charging for over a year now. I do less than 200 miles per week, and it all works fine. I don't think we low mileage folk need the extra expense of a 7kW charger. I did buy a high quality 13amp extension lead as the UMC would not reach my nearest 13amp socket...

With solar and powerwall on Optopus agile is it a manual process to import when energy prices are low / negative, and export when you can make a profit? I can not imagine that the powerwall will know when the agile tariff is negative.

Always good to get a reminder, we hopefully move to new house soon and are thinking solar and powerwall. :)

Yes! When I look at car details on the web page I now see "Premium Connectivity Free Unlimited"

I received the same today following my request to [email protected] for an update. Sounds like something might be happening. Fingers crossed.

I've see this many times over the last year, not a new bug for me, just don't ask car to lane change until you are well past the lorry in the slow lane.
