    [UK] 2024.8.x

    Yes, only applies to high beam, we had it on a Porsche and it worked amazingly well, never took the car off high beam and never once got flashed by oncoming traffic in either the UK or mainland Europe.

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    Looking at the inventory stock the price for one similar to what we ordered is £15k more than our order agreement. I don't think that 3 years supercharging would come close to making up for this (ignoring the inconvenience of LHD). I can't see LHD being desirable at resale. Looks like we'll be...

    Got back yesterday on <10%, made sure all scheduling was off at the location in the car and charge limit for not car and OE set to 80%. Got a charge schedule from 16:00 - 08:30 (leave time) and left it. This morning the car charged all that time continuously without issue and is on 53% this...

    That explains it. I’ve never seen any on there before. And the name “Location” suggests no more functionality than showing where your car is, so never dig further as I know where my car is.

    Yes. Thanks. Just discovered that. Always thought that was a useless stylised map showing where the car was.

    Thanks. I really do wish Tesla would offer this data in the app or website for when you can’t get to the car. Edit: just found in the app “Location”. Only been 2 years of Tesla driving to discover that! Thought that button only showed you where the car was.

    “Find Us” on the Tesla website is showing Heston M4 Eastbound as available. Can anyone confirm please. We’re in a right spot after OE turned off our charging overnight.

    Yes, same here. My problems started this week. Plugged in last night with 50%, need car for long trip today so everything set to 100%. OE gave me a charge schedule from 8pm to 8:30am. Just checked and it turned off after 6 minutes. Every time it try and start charge it’s turned back off. So now...

    Just noticed it’s turned off again after 6 minutes. Checked the charge schedule and we are still in a scheduled window. I’ve manually started it from the car now to see what happens.

    Has anyone else had issues with IO not charging? We got a schedule last night as usual, car was on 60% when plugged in and this morning had only charged for about 9 minutes according to teslafi. I’ve just forced a new schedule this morning by adjusting to 100% charge, it’s given a new schedule...

    Yes. Which is where I originally got the idea to set the car not to charge before 23:30 and it works fine. I only commented because of some other comment about doing this it not being in the spirit of the tariff. I’m simply pointing out it has to work both ways.

    Why should I? They are supposed to turn off and they are not, costing me money. I want convenience not have to manually remember to do something every time I plug in. Surely it’s not unreasonable to ask that IO provide what they say they will. If we are expected to stop charging every time we...

    Agreed. However, the point of the tariff is also for them to turn the car off when first plugged in. Which is not reliable. Yesterday we plugged in at 17:00, I happened to check at 22:00 and the car had been charging 5 hours at peak rate. So until the “point of the tariff” is reliable from their...

    How long have you been signed up? When we were first switched a week or so ago we were not getting any schedules, the only way I could get one was by switching off and back on the scheduled charging in the OE app as recommended above. This was with the car being consistently plugged in at 09:00...
