No alert/message for me on Vodafone or my dad on Lebara (also Vodafone network).

Best price I've seen so far!

I just read another thread and last October they were £198 from Kwik Fit at the time. Other tyres (i.e. non Tesla) don't seem to have gone up as much, Goodyear, Bridgstone, Michelin Cross Climate etc.. all around £150 to £200

I'm not due to replace mine yet but occasionally check what the cost would be so I have an idea when I will need a tyre. When I bought the car in March 2022 the standard 18 inch Michelin OEM Tesla acoustic tyres were around £200 if you shopped around. At the moment they all seem to be over...

I suppose it's not really an issue to use the brakes if required, just surprising how quickly you adjust to one pedal driving!

It was mentioned in the May update 2022.16 that if regeneration was limited then the car would use the brakes but I don't know if it was ever activated. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2022.16.0.3/release-notes

I don't plug in at home as I'm on a fairly high tariff and can charge at work during the day for free. I did try it one night last week and it used around 6kw so at 40p was £2.40 just to warm up which I know isn't a lot but it adds up if doing it every day. As you say it'll be interesting to...

I've concluded that its having the heat on auto and pre-conditioning scheduled that's using the battery. Last night it was 98% and this morning 97% but I'd forgotten to turn the auto setting (in the heating controls) and pre-conditioning schedule off at my home location so it went from 97% to...

That's quite good, you should find in the summer you get around 270 miles range. I do a 27 mile commute each way on motorway and use around 10% each way in warmer weather, more like 13% at the moment.

My findings from last night (not plugged in) which were better than expected. 9.10pm 100% temp -1 range 266 miles Heat car 10 mins (from app not scheduled departure) 99% then drive 2 miles 98% 9.25pm parked for night 98% temp -1 11.25pm checked still 98% temp -1 9.25am this morning parked...

-3 forecast here tonight as well so will see what % its on in the morning, day off tomorrow so no pre-heating required.

The doors on my previous 2018 BMW 5 series used to freeze shut all the time, not had any issues with the Tesla yet but its only the start of winter.

I'm charging at my dads at the moment as he's on a much lower tariff than me and it will be at 100% by the time I leave so when I get home later it should be on about 98% so I'll see what it is after a couple of hours then again in the morning.

I've not seen the snowflake icon yet but that may be due to me pre-heating before I get in the car. At weekends I'm only doing short journeys so that won't help either I suppose.

Thanks Jason I'll look into that and I'll switch off pre heat schedule and try heating from the app 10 mins before I leave to see if it makes much difference.
