    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Last time I looked for the Model 3 according to the 13-pin pinout in the manual only the lights and associate ground wires are connected. There is no 'ignition' or 'battery' 12v power on the plug. I presume the same holds true for the Model Y tow plug.

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I have done the same - change from GO to IO and the in home display was showing the correct rate for peak and off-peak albeit a little bit later than the "on the half hour" (at 00:30 the car would start charging but the IHD showed the price at peak rate per hour for a good few minutes) Now that...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Thanks all. I checked the App again (it started quickly and correctly this time) and finally this time, in 'devices', it shows "we've mapped tonight's smart charge". I have 84% in the battery now and want 95% (for a trip) tomorrow morning by 10am. I've been given a 06:00 to 06:30 time slot...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I turned IO off because, according to Teslafi, my Tesla was not going to sleep even though it was unplugged. I think IO was pinging the car to check if it was plugged in. Meanwhile, Teslafi claimed the car was "idling" all the time though there was minimal power usage. I though Octopus were...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I joined Octopus IO yesterday and successfully got a test charge but as I didn't need any charge I unplugged my (Tesla) wall charger and the car wasn't going to sleep so 'disconnected' the car from IO. Used enough juice today to warrant a top up charge so at various times today I tried to use...

    How likely is keyless theft 2023

    I've never enabled my phone as a car key. It's Bluetooth linked for communications but nothing more. I bought a Fob just before collecting the car and have it on my house key ring. I believe the Fob "goes to sleep" when left still so it would be dead to any relay attack after a few minutes? The...

    [UK] 2023.20.x

    Just tried a 2-button reset. The download arrow was orange but after resetting it changed to green and, starting slowly, it restarted the download. Reached 50% download and is now stopped. I think it usually stops at 50% for a while to "think" before continuing. Fingers crossed it finishes this...

    [UK] 2023.20.x

    My M3LR has been trying to download 2023.20.4.1 for over a week. Teslafi reports that the car has been pretty much idling the whole time with some very short sleeps. Lost 10% battery while it's playing silly wotsits. This is happening more often with me - long time trying to download an update...

    Slowing down the charge st a supercharger

    As stated you cannot control the supercharger charging rate other than possibly not allowing the battery to precondition first (cold battery = slower charge). The only amps you can change is for AC charging and possibly more typically would be to prevent socket/cable burnout when using the...

    2023.6.x

    I read somewhere that the "warming up" message is related to fan speed control. While it is warming up from cold the fan speed is reduced so it's not blowing cold air around. Once it warms up the fan speed increases and presumably the message disappears. If it is true it makes sense.

    UK Model Y Seatbelt rubbing neck

    I have a similar problem in my M3LR and tried to solve it with a seatbelt cover - a wrap-around sleeve fastened with a velcro strip. It kind-of worked but in use always tended to slide along the belt a bit and exposing bare seatbelt at the neck again. Biggest annoyance with the cover was, whilst...

    Did the PIN automatically revert to your own PIN when you got home? Last time I had a service the new PIN stuck and I had to go through "forgotten PIN" to put my own PIN back in.

    Frozen windscreen washers

    There was a worldwide "drought" of windscreens in the early part of this year and a bird smashed into my screen in January fortunately not puncturing it. I got my windscreen replaced by Tesla Winchester in mid-May this year after a 4-month wait for Autoglass basically to waste my time and...
