    Wales to introduce 20mph default speed limit

    Sadly this rule applies to seemingly all previous 30mph stretches of roads. It is not just urban areas affected. I’m out in West Wales and through some rural villages you now have to spend a couple of miles sitting at 20. In my view it creates a far more dangerous situation. in a 30mph...

    Wiki Restricted UK Supercharger sites - parking restrictions / registering / pay to park etc

    Visited the new Carmarthen SUC yesterday. Great set up however parking fees are £2.50 minimum paid on exit. A bit disappointing is the pay machines are the very far side of the car park from the superchargers. However a very much needed location for holidaymakers heading out to West Wales.

    Uk Blackouts & Octopus Go

    I’ve just been on to Octopus today on this after not receiving a monthly bill. To be honest I had not clocked this in the T&C’s. The meter missed a block apparently on 27th August unbeknown to myself and they then stated they would work out the bill at the flexi rate. A few minutes on hold...

    2 EV Household - what else you got?

    Another two EV household here. I have the M3 LR and my wife has an MG ZS. The MG is great for day to day use and as my wife is a wheelchair user there is plenty of space in the boot and it was easily adapted for hand controls. For the long range trips to my wife‘s family in SW Scotland plus my...

    North Wales charging.

    Great place for a stop for food and always call in on my way up north. Getting the Tesla out of Wales from far SW Wales is never an issue but at least I have this new stop in mind as the wife’s MG ZS EV is struggling by that point to get much further! For those heading from the north to...

    Rumour of free premium for leases cars ending

    Had chased Zenith and they advised me that Tesla will be in touch by the 1st May to allow the service to continue. Hmmm we shall see 🤔

    Navigation Inconsistent

    To date I have certainly found the nav has the inability to count exits at roundabouts 🤣

    Heathrow Airport Superchargers

    I left mine recently at Glasgow Airport for just over a week. The temperature was cold as well and was really please that it only lost 1% during the stay. That was a real relief meaning a much quicker stop at Abington SUC to top up on the way southbound again. Sentry was disabled and I resisted...

    Preconditioning for Supercharger...

    Last week took my M3LR on a 750 mile round trip from West Wales to Glasgow. it was my first trip utilising the SUC network. In general I found it was preconditioning about 40 miles/45 mins out and yes I was getting excellent charging speeds keeping my stop times to a minimum. I didn’t notice a...

    Still no front USB / wireless charging

    I placed in a service request and they were fitted on Thursday. They are power only and not data seemingly after a certain cut off date (picked up mine 20th Dec) but glad for the wireless charging at least 👍

    Pod Point Solo charging cable plug getting stuck in M3 socket

    I’m currently having similar issues but on a BP Pulse home charger with my Dec21 LR. I press the unlock (twice) in the car and hear the release taking place but the cable is firmly locked in. It takes a few attempts at cycling through the process before it decides to release with a real tug but...

    Regenerative braking temporarily reduced message

    Does seem a little strange. I’ve only had the M3 for a very short time. My normal charge is to about 80% and i’ve not seen that warning apart from the full charge. I’ll report back if I see it at a lower state like yourself.

    Regenerative braking temporarily reduced message

    Normally see this when the battery is 100%. Took my M3LR to 100% the other day for a long trip and got the warning then. We also see it in the wife’s MG ZS when that is at 100%. Regen is generally available again after a few minutes of driving off.
