I did quite a bit of nighttime driving in Germany on the motorways, however with the car being so low and the motorways all have this safety barrier in the middle (on the left), it really wasn't an issue. I might have blinded someone on a dark country road when the automatic lights didn't switch...

I am back from an epic road trip to Austria via France, Belgium, Germany and return via Germany and France. All my concerns about the lights, different routes, charging points, breakdown cover were for nought because it was so easy driving in Europe, using the TM3 car charger map to find the...

Are you saying if one adds a stop next to the planned stop, the car will not turn on pre-condition? How else can one prevent pre-conditioning from happening? But isn't pre-conditioning good and recommended before a long stop? What happens to the charging process if it does not take place?

Hi @WannabeOwner, That is my fear of taking an alternative route, however, what I was planning to do was sign up for a 14-day trial of ABRP and use that app to tell me all the real-time information (stalls in use, vacant, operational or not). I've created a couple of the same "alternative"...

Hello, what do you mean by a tag?

I have spent the day looking at routes from Calais France to Anger in Austria. Initially, I stuck with what 'A better route planner' (ABRP) was suggesting, but after tweaking a few of the settings (making sure only Tesla CCS & CCS were selected), I have now been playing around with different...

Thank you very much for your answers @WannabeOwner. I will look into extending the AA cover that I get through my bank for European cover. Very useful answers indeed and wow wee to that 'A better route planner' (great name, so much useful information in one location). I have a 12V tyre...

Hello all, I'm taking a road trip next week with the family to Austria via France, Belgium and Germany from the UK on the channel tunnel train. Does the connectivity pack (internet) automatically work in Europe or do I have to use my mobile phone instead? Should we stick to the Toll roads or...

okay, thanks.

My 2 cents. There is so much real estate on the Model 3 screen, if it was me I would have added more one tap icons to the screen not take away icons. That to me has been the single, biggest, dumbest thing ever! I thought Tesla was about efficiency. The person on the UI team who did this doesn't...

Hi All, Posting here as it is a stone/glass-related question. With regards to stones through the windscreen, would auto-glass sort out the rain sensor, front camera and heated front window when they replace the windscreen? Wondering as we had a stone fly into the window today and I am in the...

Not entirely sure what Peugeot has to do with Tesla insurance? Can you please explain?

Last year we paid £622 at Direct Line for our Model 3 LR, which was quite a leap from the previous year's insurance for a Nissan Qashqui 1.5l. I did a number of quotes this time around to see if I could better £622 (Churchill = £800), LV = £750), and Vitality Health (they were able to beat the...

At least it's working. Mine on the other hand is working perfectly. I bumped up the amp about 3 nights ago to 32A from 31A and it's been charging at fast ever since then. For me problem is solved.

So what you are saying is I need to bump it up to 32A while it is charging and then it will stay at 32A. Okay, I don't recall ever seeing it at 32A, but I will stay awake tonight and make the change.
