    UK Model Y Order Book Open

    I can't handle it! - A Rant

    Not the most elegant solution and not sure how good the adhesive would be, but maybe worth trying if the current design is truly unbearable:

    Octopus tariffs and solar PV

    I believe they're being kept very busy by the amount of customers they are taking on from failed energy companies. They've always been very responsive on Twitter, if you'd like to give that a go? https://twitter.com/octopusenergy?lang=en

    Tesla Superchargers at Pubs/Hotels/Resturants

    Liphook in Hampshire really surprised me. Navigated there in the pitch back, chucking it down, up a single track country lane to be greeted by one of the biggest hotel complexes I'd ever seen. Decent meal in the sports bar there, didn't have time to explore the other (multiple) offerings...

    Changing colour weeks before delivery?

    After seeing a few MSM out in the wild prior to collecting mine, I was feeling the same. It's quite a dull colour when dirty and in low light, especially this time of year. Having said that, it also hides the dirt pretty well. Picture was taken today. On the left is the result of 1500+ miles of...

    Chargeplace Scotland

    Thanks, not sure why I thought Stirling was part of Falkirk council. Maybe it's because the post codes are the same.

    Chargeplace Scotland

    Is it definitely free? If it comes under Falkirk Council then unless an exception it's 25p per kWh with a £1 min charge. https://chargeplacescotland.org/tariff/falkirk-council/

    Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]

    Guess this guy I spotted today is a little early: Aside from the charge port location and cable length conundrum, I'm also wondering if the bump stops might catch on the front spoiler.

    NE Scotland Charge Place Scotland charger update

    CCS in Alford was working well earlier today and has not failed me yet after around 10 separate visits. Was going to charge in either Inverurie or Banchory before heading down South on Sunday so looks like it'll be Banchory now.

    What's the best accessory for your model 3?

    Wide angle side mirror glass upgrade. Great for reducing blind spots, generally seeing more behind you but also seeing lower down e.g. pavements to avoid kerbing your wheels. https://www.hautopart.com/product/wide-angle-side-mirror-glass-for-sx/ It doesn't support auto-dimming though which...

    Anyone fitted a charge port light?

    I bought a solar powered led light with a movement sensor and screwed that to the nearest wall to the charge port. Does the job.

    Do I smell? The empty Superchargers picture thread

    Haha :) Check the positioning of the parking spaces vs the alignment of the charging cables though. Real case of #notmyjob with these chargers.

    Not certain how long this change has been live for but when using Dog Mode, it now says My driver.... instead of My owner.... My wife's a bit more comfortable with me leaving her locked in the car now. Thanks Elon.

    Model 3 (wood trim)

    It is expensive but suspect most of the cost is labour and shipping rather than materials. The part covered in wood is removed from the dash surround and the glue welds heated up and removed. The wood is then stripped and the base layer sanded and smoothed before the alcantara is applied. It's...

    BLASTED

    I can't endorse the mockery of ICE drivers at any time let alone during a fuel crisis outwith their control. I believe this type of coverage from the media hinders rather than helps the transition to electric vehicles. I want to avoid the Tesla community being stereotyped and becoming the...

    Yes, just a clean microfibre. If you're planning to get a few different supplies in you might want to use a dedicated supplier of detailing products. These guys are great: https://www.iodetail.com/products/gyeon-q-m-interior-detailer The interior detailer is £11 from them for the same size...

    Octopus Go price increases..

    I need to dig into this a bit more, appreciate prices are rising really fast, but 4x seems like a lot. I think it's actually just my Gas tariff that's ending, but this suggests that by renewing I'm starting a new fixed term for both gas and electricity:

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    The car should be able to handle the charging regime better, but until it does I've found this route the path of least resistance. If I need more charge than the off peak period allows then I just turn off the schedule for the following day and try to remember to reactivate it. Only had to do...

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    I've had the tethered PodPoint unit installed for 18 months now, never had to reset it, never had any issues with it. It's not particularly sexy but then it sits on the sidewall of my house, so not really noticeable. It keeps the cable tidy better than most as well. A few months ago, the...

    S85 battery pack issues

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    They have the ability to add a referral code post order, some have reported success particularly with the Edinburgh branch however Tesla's policy is clear that it must be used at the time of order. I suspect if you're to have any chance, speaking face to face with your sales advisor in the...

    Best Company Car Insurance That Cover Alcantara Dash?

    I think that's a genuine concern for any items that can alter the safety characteristics of the car. Aftermarket seat covers would be a prime example. For the Alcantara dash specifically, there are no airbags directly behind the dash, they're on the A pillars and in the steering wheel at the...

    Best Company Car Insurance That Cover Alcantara Dash?

    I have the alcantara dash and never thought to inform my insurance company about it. What makes you think it is necessary? Suspect it's only items that impact performance, safety or significant value that they're concerned about, otherwise where do you draw the line? Does everyone that's...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    If your friend has access to their loot box on the Tesla app it should be listed there once the order has been made, prior to delivery. For leases it won't show the persons name, just the date of the order and the status e.g. 'Ordered' until delivery is accepted then it will turn to...

    Can you get Magic or Absolute 80's on your TuneIn?

    Worth checking if it's available on LTE by finding the station within TuneIn via Country > United Kingdom > Region. Whilst abroad this summer I wasn't able to find via the search results BBC Radio 1 or 2, but once I dug through via the country route most of my local and regional versions of...

    Edinburgh central charging options?

    There's been a ton of work in that area of Edinburgh recently, it's nearing completion but that site and it's surroundings have been a massive construction site for years. On Tesla's site, the Omni centre isn't yet listed (yet it's present on google maps), so I'd suggest not going there unless...

    App functions not setting

    Suspect what's happened is that Tesla submitted the app to the Play Store and simultaneously turned off whatever server was routing the internet based commands from version 3 of the app to the car. Google then rejected the application submission for whatever reason so now Android users don't...

    Is your app on an Android or iOS phone? I lost all connectivity to the car on Android with app version 3.x. I installed the 4.x app manually as 8t wasn't available as an update in the play store and everything is working again now. Not sure about the key card conundrum but that may be an...

    [UK] 2021.32.x

    Not certain we'll see much of this rollout in the UK as seems to be for new Model S/X (adaptive suspension) and I'm assuming the autopark function will require vision only (no radar) which I don't believe the MIC cars have been updated to.
