But Broxden is Tesla only, old V2’s.

Used the old Perth (Broxden) chargers yesterday. Button on the cable opened the port to allow me to plug in and charge, but for the first time here the button on the cable did not stop charging and unlock cable at the end. Had to use the screen (MX) to unlock the charge port.

Actually bizarre as it sounds I think I gained an hour. My winter off peak runs from 2400 - 0500. But with the clocks going forward 0500 becomes 0600. So by leaving it on the winter times last night I started charging the PW plus both cars at 2400 but theoretically wouldn’t stop charging...

I have just tried to reset my utility rate plan on the Powerwall settings in the Tesla app as my cheap period has changed with the clock change to 0100 - 0600. Apparently there are no options between 0030 and 0200 so the best I can do is starting at 0200, thus losing an hour of cheap rate...

Think yourselves lucky with all the changes .7 brings. The only change I see on my legacy MX, which got .7 a couple of nights back, is that the indicators are now just an arrow rather than an arrow in a circle, and I think that appeared on one of the previous updates. No comment on the wipers...

Unlikely I’m afraid. It’s been looking like that for a good month or so. But for your sake I hope I’m wrong!

My car died on Christmas Eve. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the local service centre (Aberdeen) was open between Christmas and New Year, unlike every other garage. The car was recovered to Tesla on Boxing Day and fixed for collection the day after New Years Day. Very impressed with...

Just a heads up that the service road at Tebay connecting the north to southbound areas will be closed on Monday 18th, Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th March from 6pm to 6am so no short cut access to the superchargers from the northbound M6. Folk heading north needing a charge at Tebay will have...

When I started looking round for a 500e for my wife my first port of call was our nearest Fiat dealer (Aberdeen). I was so disappointed with a) their obvious lack of knowledge about their products and b) their insistence on trying to sell me a vehicle they had in stock rather than with the...

Drew57 (post #5) could have written my response as he has said what I would say! We picked up our LaPrima 500e in Ocean Green (what a fantastic colour, is it blue or is it green?) almost exactly a year ago. We love it and it also shows 161miles at 100%. We purchased it from the Inverness...

Me too and it’s an old legacy MX!

We noticed that when we charged at Perth yesterday. Bizarrely I was monitoring availability both heading for Perth and whilst charging and it showed 9 available all the time. However apart from the 4 closed off (I suppose if they’re working but just blocked off they would show as being...

Thanks for that as I’ll probably need to use Newbridge again tomorrow on the way home. Luckily we were eastbound on the bypass but saw the horrendous west bound traffic. I actually said to my wife that I hoped nobody in that queue was hoping to charge at Newbridge. Glad you made it.

Charging at Newbridge (Edinburgh) this afternoon and all the chargers went down. Luckily I had enough to continue my journey but I note from various apps that it appears to be still down. So if anybody is planning on using Newbridge it may be worth checking availability beforehand.

I bought a new Raven MX Long Range (not the plus) in October 2019. It has been an excellent and well made car (it’s from the days when they were shipped in containers to Tilburg and reassembled there!) with very few issues. My battery degradation as far as I can tell is minimal. The only real...
