Hi all, Did anyone else get stung by a PCN due to the total closure of the exit road from Heston Westbound services and Tesla Supercharger on 5th Jan around 00:20 am? We were forced to use the camera controlled back exit so were served with a PCN. The only alternative would have been an...

Had some unexpected scheduling behaviour. Anyone else seen this? Posting here in case it helps someone else in future. Scheduled a software update at the end of scheduled charging last night. The software update started and completed at the scheduled time but no charging happened at all. The...

Yeah, they're good, I've got similar plugs elsewhere in the house. Do they manage 10A for hours without getting warm at all? They're probably not designed for heavy duty loads over long periods. The main drawback for me is that it would be too bulky and prevent the exterior socket cover closing.

Thanks, that's a pretty neat solution. Does that fit entirely into a UK consumer unit as a replacement for the normal circuit breaker MCB thing? Is it a fairly straight forward installation?

That's a good point. I'll check that out.

Ideally I'd like to find a 3-pin charger for our second EV that has a built-in timer so that we can restrict charging to off-peak hours. Does such a thing exist? If we convert the socket to a 16A 'commando' socket, are there any chargers that include a timer? If not perhaps we're better off...

Not sure if related but today my Spotify on premium stopped working. Had to do choose vehicle account again and accept new terms and conditions then it worked again.

Entitled? That's putting it a bit strongly. Quite a few features are included without extra charge in the large up front purchase price of the car. Some obvious examples: standard connectivity and Google map data. I very much feel 'entitled' to use them as they were used to promote the car to...

My use of car Spotify account with standard connectivity and hotspot seems blocked after updating to 2022.36.2. Pretty annoying downgrade. The premium connectivity page has a footnote saying 'features subject to change' so presumably Tesla feel covered to move any feature to premium...

I adore my two model 3s but removal of stalks would mean I would not buy Tesla again. The current stalk operations are safety critical and need to be immediately accessible without groping around or hesitation whatever position the steering wheel is in. For example: roundabouts and three point...

Disabling Allow Keyless Driving doesn't really add any security as anyone with a valid key seems to be able to turn back on Keyless Driving from inside the car anyway.

I tested starting the car remotely from the app in our 2021 M3 SR+ the other day. From my testing starting the car remotely definitely *does* bypass pin to drive and seems to allow the car to be driven without entering a pin or time limit on driving once started. The remote start permission to...

Does adding a new driver in the app allow the new driver to bypass pin to drive? Starting the car remotely in the app definitely does bypass pin to drive so I'm considering turning off remote start in the car option.

I read that most car dealers are not concerned and are expecting a *slow* return to more traditional residual values. However they're not the ones paying the depreciation of course unless they're stupid enough to hold stock for much too long. I expect that on average depreciation will be lower...

Had failed charge port ECU on UK 2021 M3 LR after 6 months. Replaced under warranty but required stay in service centre. Has been fine in 12 months since. Stopped charging with CCS or type 2 just after using Engie/Geniepoint CCS charge point. Could've been a coincidence but I suspect Geniepoint...
