I have a Zappi and use the readings from the App to measure the kWh input to my MY. This figure is always higher than the figure from the Tesla app. Which is likely to be the more accurate?

This noise started 2 days ago and can be heard reversing and moving forward. I've booked a service, but any ideas what might be causing it?

Driving in heavy rain on the motorway, the lights on auto did not turn on. Had to set them manually, but they stayed on once we got home Any ideas why the auto lights failed?

Both originally supplied cables.

My Model Y has a longer charging cable that that supplied with my son-in-law's Model 3. However, when he used my longer cable, his 3 failed to charge. Is there a valid explanation? My Y charges from his home charger.

1) I accidentally removed my device in the app rather than stopping the smart charge. I have emailed Octopus re this. Is there any other way of reconnecting? 2) My gas is currently on Shell's variable rate. Would it be worth trying to change to Octopus for gas now?

I have a 2.6 kW inverter. The only times it falls short is when we use the electric showers and when cooking a hot meal. We have a 100 amp fuse so when I'm charging the car, the batteries and the immersion heater at night, it's using 13.1 kW, plus the small demands on the house. That's still...

There are 2 advantages of OI over Go for me. I have 2 x 8.2 kWh batteries that can fully charge in 6 hours, but couldn't in 4, plus the chance of extra hours of cheaper electrons for the house outside of the usual hours.

Just be careful when you change to Fast, the car might start charging. I select stop charging on the car app, and OI then takes over.

I have a Model Y. Has anyone any experience of using a wireless Samsung phone in the Tesla? Thinking of getting one, but need to know it works reasonably well.

I charged my car at home for a long journey today. The Zappi is showing fewer charging units than the Tesla app. Which is more accurate? Also, I charged at Washington. How do I confirm the exact units charged and the cost per unit. Also, how do you know if you've received an idle charge?

No spare tyre, so what do you do if you get a puncture?

Mulling over my quote from Direct Line. 2 questions - should I take out a Green Flag at Home policy. And is the OVO offer worth taking up, or should I switch to Octopus Go? I collect next Tuesday.

I was told by esure you have to drive the car for 12 months before they'll quote.

Mine begin 239 - no idea of the significance.
