Scottish Power, can't remember the Tarif Name, but it is 15.6p/kwh, inc daily charge. It runs until the end of March 2022 when I'll be looking long and hard at the Octopus EV rate as I expect a significant increase, also it seems that Scottish Power also have one.

Well, it was too good to be true.... e-call requires service warning appeared twice today, but corrected itself. What's next?

I disabled the Sentry mode as the OP described, it is just too sensitive for most situations. Every day I go down to a farm where our horse lives. The parking yard is bounded by bushes/trees and in any sort of wind the moving branches trigger the alarm. I only activate it in public car parks.

It allows you to annoy your partner by making them wait to get in the car!

44.5 arrived today. Crossing my fingers I installed it. A none event, but at least it didn't cause the e-call service message and the car seems to work...!!

Will there be a 2022. Shipping Movements Thread??

Well, what a surprise this morning, the car is functioning normally! For how long? Has Tesla stealthily sent a patch over the ether? I'm booked in to the Service centre in late January, fingers crossed until then!

This morning I got into my car and put it into reverse to exit the drive. Suddenly there was camera vision. Everything was working... the car had flown from Huntingdon to Salisbury, seemingly at the speed of light and the e-call warning had gone! Oddly, the App says that there is an update...

And on Sunday... Also the A36.

I traded in this wonderful engine... It was attached to one of the most disappointing cars I've owned, a Mercedes C63 Estate. If the car had been as good as the engine I'd still have it. But the ride, the (dis)comfort, the servicing costs plus the fuel consumption resulted in me moving it...

You are right! It is clearly hardware related. If it was summer I wouldn't be that concerned, but no cameras and no dipping interior mirror are a real pain that I need to keep complaining about. I've also e-mailed the insurers to tell them that the dash cam and car tracking are no longer...

On a 1.5 mile trip from home to the stable where our horse lives and with the temperature hovering around 2C I've seen almost 2000 watt/hours per mile. That is 10X the consumption in mid summer. The route involves going up and down a steep hill and then about 3/4 mile on the flat. No car, ICE...

That procedure had the same result as the Ranger Technician. Nothing has changed.

I'll give the instructions in the video a go. It is much the same as the way the ranger did it, but he didn't open everything and release the connector under the rear seat....

My car has 40.6, it has not recovered. Still believes it is in Huntingdon and nothing camera related works.

Interesting that your car has intermittent faults, mine is just dead and this time has been so since Monday. Back in October it was a partial fail, and all activities recovered over a few days. This time is is resolutely dead and I'll be avoiding driving it after dark.

Driving home this evening I realised that the mirrors don't dip and there is no way to manually dip the inside rear mirror, the only solution is to tip it up so it is not usable. This is dangerous and I have an idea that the absence of any rear mirrors makes a vehicle unroadworthy. Does anyone...

After an 18 hours sleep the car woke up still confused as to its whereabouts. No improvement in the other issues either. I guess I just have to wait.

I suspect it is a software-hardware issue, with the control module getting stuck in a loop that a 12v reset doesn't clear. I also wonder if a long period 12v reset, with the power disconnected overnight might effect a re-set, but I suspect it might also trigger other issues. I also wonder if...

Hmm... I think I'll remove the sentry USB stick, turn off everything possible and let it sit for a few days!

I first had this issue in October. Since then multiple failures, each time self corrected over a period of days. The latest, on Wednesday, has left it working much like a 1980s car.. no driver aids. Since October support from Tesla UK has been both wonderful and at the same time, useless...

I have a 2014 Morgan Aero Plus 8 as (mostly) a daily drive. It drinks gas, but otherwise is a one service a year car: at 45k miles it is just fine. For bad weather we have my wife's AMG C43 Coupe. I plan to reserve a Roadstr and then sell the Plus 8 as part of the cost of ownership. I'm at...

Good!!

No, there are curry hooks for the heat pump version!

Talking to a Tesla Ranger today, who is normally based at Winchester, but also supports the Southampton docks team, he told me that they are pushing 600 cars a day through the pdi process, using 14 technicians working a 12 hour day, 6 days a week, and that this will continue until the end of the...

My first long trip in the car yesterday, Salisbury/Huntingdon/Salisbury, 360 miles. Going up it was motorway all the way, TACC all the time and no issues whatsoever, not one phantom application of the brakes. Average of 245wh/mile. Returning, after the DAS module failure and neither TACC or...

The Ranger Technician was unable to solve the issue, so I now have to sit and wait for a new part, probably mid January. Nice young man, driving a Model S90 premium, 110,000 miles and no issues. Real world 220 mile range. I like the leather inside.....

I'm not losing faith, it is intrinsically a stunning car. You are right, the car is perfectly usable (just like my Morgan) I just need to set the screen to "night mode" and buy a screen holder for my phone so I have sat nav!!

All the issues are consequential of issues with the main processor board, so once that is fixed the issues should disappear. Reading between the lines it seems that there can be a hardware/software problem, where the processor locks up, rather like the early versions of Windows where...

Well... not a good day today. Drove up to Huntingson, great drive despite starting at 6am.... When I came to leave at about 2pm the e-call and sat-nav crashed, as previously. Returning home without satnav from somewhere I don't know well wasn't fun, the mobile phone on its charging platform with...

There seems to be more to this issue than is being made public.

He was due to collect his new MiniE tomorrow. The car is at the dealer, he has the VIN number, but now no delivery date.

I've just been told by a pal that BMW has told all UK dealers to hold delivery on any BMW EV due for delivery. They have not provided a reason or re-scheduled the delivery. And we thought Tesla was a bit unhelpful with delivery changes???

Good point, still getting used to EV Charging logic

I had to drive from home to Heathrow T5 and back today, in appalling weather in the C43, a 3.0L ICE so the drive was slow, averaging 43mph. I averaged 36.4 mpg, amazing when driving locally it averages about 20mpg. Wearing my ICE hat I wouldn't care, because fuel is everywhere. Tomorrow I have...

Other than the present version of cruise control unless and until I can hand over 100% to an autopilot and watch a video or read a book I'm not interested. Either I'm 100% in control, or the computer is. I see no value in anything less. Tesla would do better making everything they offer work...

I suspect some other companies would delay delivery, and production, so making you wait. Tesla wants your money... so they ship and then resolve. Ok isn't a big deal, but i'd be irritated and then get over it. After all, it is only this year that the cars were delivered with the charging pads...

Tesla were early into the European market, so it isn't a surprise they had a significant share of what then was a very small market. The car market has fallen, recent figures suggest that it is still substantially less than 2018, but within the reduced market EVs have a large share. For 2021 it...

I did, thanks for pointing it out!

Moderation comment - post merged It seems that the SIM Card in my May 21 M3 LR is now linked to the UK.... I can log on to BBC iPlayer and watch top gear, and using Google search it seems to be in the UK, likewise YouTube as below. Is this for real, or a fluke? Has anyone else found this...

Where were the 3 red lines, on the display or the App? I'm slightly confused!!

Your story is an almost exact replica of my problems earlier this year and which resulted in a decision by Tesla to replace the car computer...eventually. However the last 2 updates have loaded and work, after a "push" by Tesla Service at Winchester.

Perhaps I should have said Tesla, rather than M3 LR, and also said "for me".

we know the SR, LR and P batteries are not the same, but the way the LR and P batteries perform in the cold does seem to suggest a real difference in range delivery.

OP here...I agree 100%. It isn't just the company and the cars, it is the disruptive approach they have had on a business that is essentially unchanged since the 1920s. Buying cars from a main dealer is a pain, dealing with service department is just as painful. I enjoyed the Tesla buying...

I agree, the strength of Tesla is the sum of its parts plus company knowledge. I will try one, but I don't think I could bring myself to look at the monster BMW badge every morning! I've owned 2 BMWs, neither lasted more than 2 years before I cried "enough". The Polestar 2 looks interesting....

I took a look at the BMW i4 M50... 317 WTLP range = about 230 in the real world, based on my Tesla experience. Similar bhp to the M3, similar performance, larger battery, so why so much less range? What is the difference that make it possible for Tesla to achieve a WLTP range of 360 miles or...

I've got 2 more years before I have to look at the options... for now the Tesla M3 is all I need...and can afford..... But I'm sure there will be lots of options. I just hope they are not all "Crossover" blobs.

You can always set your M3 to use Chinese...
