First time this has happened to me, also on 2022.20.5. It tried all night but stuck @ 50%. Will try to pair with phone when somewhere with better cell coverage.

There are a lot of tesla M3s used by uber drivers in london. Most ride-hailing drivers in london won't have home charging options and places like Westfield which are fairly central with a lot of ultra-fast chargers are a good option for them. Uber has committed to having 100% electric fleet in...

This looks like a neat solution it must be wildly expensive. Whilst there are not enough lampposts to charge all cars, imo they should focus on those first (no digging, existing supply, not prone to vandalism etc, no extra equipment or street furniture required), they are a brilliant and simple...

Many thanks all for the replies, there is indeed an indicator and pins do move round c60 degrees but not enough to allow them to mate with the car socket, bit frustrating but I think it must be a manufacturing fault so have gone back to them.

Sadly its not the pins that are the issue, I physically can't push the 2 together - note the ridge on the inside of the plug is adjacent to one of the outer cutouts, whereas with the M3 socket the first ridge is at about 2 o'clock when the cut out is at 12.

March was biggest ever delivery month for Tesla in the UK - 6,585. A bit above December's. And M3 was the 4th best selling car in the month (it was the top seller in December but March is the peak sales month in the UK due to registration plate change). BEVs still only 7.5% of registrations for...

The SR+ accounts for only 5% of m3 sales in Norway, and when he specified the LR in the video, the price reduction was <5%, useful but not explaining the big jump. Still weird.

That would make more sense but I thought I’d read that wait times were similar to other Europe destinations. So interesting to follow what’s going on as they’re so far ahead of others

So what happened in Norway this month? https://teslastats.no/. I thought the story was that Tesla was suffering badly this year with market share because of all the new BEV competition. But they’re going to have the best month since March19 which was the initial rush of first deliveries. Have...

With the much higher range the Plaid Model S very likely needs the new batteries, so I would expect Model S refresh (now late next year) and probably Model X will accommodate the new batteries. This would chime with their low volume production in c1 year. They will also be needed for Cybertruck...

M3 biggest selling vehicle in UK again in May, definitely the new normal ;) UK new car sales down -89.0% in May as ‘click and collect’ sparks hope ahead of showroom re-opening - SMMT

M3 was the best selling car in the UK in April, and EVs at 1/3rd of new sales. The new normal :) Record -97.3% fall for UK new car market in April as coronavirus shuts showrooms - SMMT

In fact the last time Tesla sold so few cars in a quarter in Norway was q2 2017. And now they have a much cheaper product on sale, and the proportion of plug-in sales is much higher. Like it or not, there is now real competition for Tesla in Europe. OEMs need the EV sales in order to avoid...

Norway numbers are here:Registreringsstatistikken – Opplysningsrådet for veitrafikken e-tron sold 3x M3 in Q1. God, even the Leaf outsold the M3 in Q1.
