Happened to me at a service area half way down France last summer with my wife and daughter in the car. Very nearly ruined the holiday, and was very much regarded as my fault for having a stupid car. Have turned sentry off on family journeys ever since.

Speaking selfishly this means that I’m more likely to be able to swap my M3 LR like for like when the lease expires, should I want to. It impacts everyone differently.

Exactly this. Mine were badly applied and are fingerprinty. If I could just order a new set I would but I can’t be bothered with creating new ones and putting them in the wrong place, so they’re staying put until they peel off on their own or the car goes back.

We’ve got a Model 3 LR and our Mini SE will be arriving in September. The mini will be replacing old two fun ICE cars - a 15 year old Fiat Panda 100hp and a 26 year old supercharged mx5. The mini is the only small EV for the job really.

So this is potentially good news for me. Two fairly local sites that I don’t tend to use in the Tesla, but which could be really handy in our new Mini when it turns up (assuming we ever go that far afield in it). What I’m trying to establish is whether you can add a non-Tesla to a Tesla...

I had a look this evening. The showroom looks complete, with a Model 3 and two Ys. No sign of any superchargers of yet, or of any work to upgrade the power supply. Going to be a while I guess.

2021.44.30.14 downloading as I type..?

Ah, yes, refreshed now. Thanks. Still no update, but no rush.

I’ve just noticed that my software (2021.44.30.11) is “up to date as of 25th January” according to my car. I’m pretty sure that in the past it has always said up to date to whatever the current date is. Is that other people’s experience? Wondering if mine has got stuck somehow?

Thanks for clearing that up 😉

Very magnanimous of them to reserve some 7kW charging for hybrids. Or is this Tesla letting slip that they will be adding engines to some of their cars..? REX?

It’s my knees that get cold. I keep meaning to get myself a little blanket like you’d see on an old person’s wheelchair. Not quite the sort of Plaid I’d been dreaming of, but more practical in the UK.

This forum is a lot more balanced in its response than a lot of the comment on the Facebook Tesla groups. It’s all starting to sound a bit “fake news” on there which caused me to wonder about the sort of people who buy Teslas these days. Certainly not all lentil knitting environmentalists...

I’d keep my supercharged Mk1 MX5. Sadly I’ve just decided to sell it and replace it with the most fun, small EV I can find as I just don’t like putting petrol in it any more. I’ve never had more fun in a semi-practical car than I have in this. The epitome of the accessible analogue sports car in...

I said yes. If it helps them develop what is already one of the best smart energy resources further then more power to them. If I was a spy or philanderer I may feel differently. I love ev.energy. By using their ap and adjusting the amount of kW I add each night judiciously I’ve reduced my cost...
