Agree - I have found the energy graph really reliable; on several occasions (on 200 mile+ journeys in an MP3-) going down below 5% remaining charge (and once 2%) with total confidence.

I’ve used the 12v socket several times, but struggle to find it the next time I want to use it!

No not plugged in.

To clarify that’s 1% in total over 2 weeks, not per day,

Over 2 weeks of lockdown and no driving, with the car sat on my drive, I have only lost 1% of charge on my M3P- (started at 52%). I’m really surprised from reading several threads that it has not been more. I have downloaded and installed a software update and wake it once a day, but otherwise...

Not there for me. My car is on lease (salary sacrifice) - so maybe won’t get this. On the Tesla portal my car is not shown.

The speedo on the M3 appears to be the most accurate I have had on my cars - it’s consistently within 1 or 2 mph across the speed range (well at least up to 80mph); measured using GPS and road site speed readers. I consistently drove previous cars at +10% of speed limit in zones with cameras -...

Just had the same unit installed - in Birmingham; cost £320 after deducting the grant. Very limited cable required, but did include an earth rod and fuse box extension + RCB.

I think someone has said this before - to apply the same etiquette for Superchargers as urinals - i.e. be as far away from others as possible and if you have to go next to someone then go next to someone who’s been there a while. As with urinals going next to someone when there is space should...

If the front fog lights are not enabled (I.e no means to turn them on) then the car is not deemed to be equipped with them so you would not fail your MOT. Notwithstanding they are most often used (in contradiction to the Highway Code) by many whenever they have their headlights on in the...

WPD have now said to me that they cannot quote directly to me - but instead will work through my charger installer. However, I can’t get an installer on board without an upgraded supply. Classic Catch-22! Looks like I will be 10A charging for a while yet.

My car does the same. I charged up to 95% for a long trip the other day - keeping the last 5% to warm the battery and car in the morning. Despite unplugging and reconnecting and attempted resets it would not let me charge further to the 100%. It however will charge to 100% if I set it at that...

I am also in WPD’s region - needing my supply to be upgraded. I have arranged them to visit next week - but they were silent in costs; saying they need to do the survey. I also needs to replace my meter (only rated at 40A) and perhaps the supply cable as well! However, if you look on the UKPN...

Thanks for the heads-up - need to think about how long before I might move house.

Thanks for the advice. It has been suggested to me that they may be required to do a single phase upgrade to 80 or 100A for free. I plan to call them this week to find out more. If it’s not a free upgrade, then the suggestion of going to 3-phase sounds a good one.
