    First Big Trip - the good and the bad

    I've fitted AlloyGators to protect my rims. I think it was a day before the wife very slowly tried to file them down on a curb. Thank god they were there. Can totally recommend them as the wheel itself was untouched. If you have some way of re-inflating the tyre then I'd say fit them yourself...

    Holiday Drop and Go parking

    Thanks for the replies all. I did have a look through the Manual, but was obviously having a brain fart and really don't want to get it wrong. Also I wasn't sure about valet mode over the period of a week. We're dropping off the night before and staying in an airport hotel as the flight is an...

    Holiday Drop and Go parking

    Had the M3 for a couple of months now, and loving it, but am facing a bit of a head-scratcher (for me anyway). We will be going on our hols soon and it works out best for us to use the Airparks Drop and Go service at Birmingham airport (via HolidayExtras hotel + parking). The drop and go...

    Whats the name of your Tesla?

    Another Bluey inspired name: Bandit ('cos I'm the Dad). Only had him for a month and loving being in a car again

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Turns out that the car was still in Service mode. Service centre has fixed it now. Thing that worried me was that I tried entering my Tesla account credentials and it told me that my account wasn't linked to the car. Being a software tester I'm pretty good at digging through apps to work out...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    I installed the app on her phone and logged in using my details. I set the key cards as one for me and one for her. In the car I added her phone as a key and linked to a profile set up for her. She does not need a separate Tesla account I also set my profile as primary to cover the times when I...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Mine was fixed on Saturday. Initially the harness was replaced, but it turned out the ECU was faulty. All done in the time they said. Great communication throughout. Only problem is that I now can't change the PIN they set.

    They'll release to the police or insurance company. We are making sure that the footage was not deleted in case the driver does not reply.

    Q4 collections, tales and experiences

    Sad day yesterday. Only had the car 6 days and someone has managed to scrape the drivers side wing, front bumper and alloy. They left a note, just waiting to hear back from them. Sentry mode caught the incident, but as they were parked next to Bandit no Reg visible. Don't think that there is...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Seeing a similar problem with my 2023 M3. My Atera Strada DL3 bike rack lights are not reponding. Can anyone tell me how to check using a multimeter (pins, voltages, etc)? Cheers. Provisionally booked in for Sat morning appt. Fingers crossed.

    Q4 collections, tales and experiences

    Let me just say that I didn't expect her to continually rise in pitch until she was bothering the local dogs with ultrasonics! She then cried (with happiness). I had to tell her to come in from the rain to calm down.😁

    Q4 collections, tales and experiences

    Car arrived this morning at home. Slight mark on the passenger side door (looks like someone has rubbed up against it), but that will polish out easily. Exterior of the car was very dusty, including some small rust particles. Straight to a touchless car wash. It's now very shiny. Quick check...
