After starting the charge manually yesterday evening just to check at what it charges (I didn't change the Amp setting it went automatically to 30A) the car started charging normally last night again during the scheduled charge. So hopefully problem solved 🤞

Hi, I've noticed that my car is now often not charged to 80% in the morning anymore. I've got a PodPoint 7kWh charger and it used to charge at around that level. I've now started up my Teslamate which I hadn't used in a while and I could pin point the day when it changed Up to the 28th it...

My M3SR+ seems to get confused with the charge settings. I used to have it set to schedule charging to start at 00:30 (Octopus Go). They in the Winter I've switched to depart at 8 am with cheap charging stopping at 4:30 but I've often noticed that the car often started charging right when I...

… and don’t forget the blue passports and that we can use pint, ounces, furlong, rods again 😜

A few month back I started the thread ‘Packed Superchargers’. You can imagine my smug grin now when I drive past the petrol station (if some idiots are not blocking the road queuing). No trucks needed to deliver my electrons to my Tesla or Leaf. They should use that for EV adverts. Show people...

I am driving to Bristol tomorrow. I get there in one charge but I need to charge up in Bristol for the return trip. Bristol seems to have 3 Superchargers, one is in a Shopping Centre, one at a Tesla showroom (?) and one on a Service Station bit further down South. I am staying in a Hotel in...

I just returned from a 1662 mile round trip to Scotland. The only time I had a problem was in remote Scotland where there wasn’t a Supercharger nearby and I had to use public chargers (first was dead, at the second I had no reception and needed an app). I never had to wait for a slot during the...

Today the navigator constantly switched between Superchargers. We went down from Inverness to York. My plan for charging didn’t survive for long. I was re-routed several times. At first it was Perth - Abington - Scotts Corner, then Abington filled up and I was re-routed to Eurocentral (Glasgow)...

I was coming from Inverness

I had to use CPS for the first time on my way to Skye. My RFID card did not arrive in time before I left for Scotland and I thought no worries, I just use the App. The first charger I tried about 20m before the Skye bridge was totally dead. Checked the CPS app and typed in the Post code of the...

I‘ve been to 4 SCs today and 2 of them were at full capacity (Tebay and Abington). Gretna which we passed had apparently 7 cars waiting (Tebay had one waiting after we got the last free slot). So even without opening up the network to others Tesla has to increase the number of charges...

The trip up to Edinburgh was a doddle. At first Tessy (my car) didn’t let me go to the Hilton Park SC without a stop but after a while it was fine with it and we arrived with 16%. It is not a very inviting Service Station but plenty of empty chargers (early in the morning). It charged up to 83%...

Yes added them all as waypoints on ABRP

I’ve been planning my trip to Edinburg for tomorrow and I thought it might be useful to have a list of Superchargers on the route (M6) and how much battery Percentage (M3SR+) you need to get from one to the other: (so to get from Gatwick SC to Oxford SC you need about 40%, then on to Warwick you...

I’ve signed up for CPS but I don‘t think I will get the RFID card in time (we are leaving in a weeks time). Hopefully the app will work
