It is definitely an aftermarket thing and not something available from new. And as it happens every time it was not a software update as it would be broke by the next iteration- according to some posters 😉

I have been to Gretna twice, but not got to use the Tesla SC’s as there was a queue each time, so I used one of the two unused gridserve chargers beside them whilst others ignored them! Not going there in any hurry though.

I have had a single instance last Saturday. Parked at home. I was walking away from the car and heard the frunk clunk unlock as i was expecting the walk away car lock. I put it down to the app on my phone being touched as it went in my pocket. I can tell you the difference to your case because...

Abington update as at yesterday. The 8 x WB Applegreen chargers beside the Tesla SC's now all have covers on them as if work complete and just waiting to be commissioned.

I think this is part of the much vaunted levelling up, so as to allow England to gain parity with NI where 4 years for first MOT is already the norm without too much trouble.

I bought a heavy duty jack, wheel brace breaker bar and socket and pucks and put them in the boot with a plug repair set and inflator. Just in case. I feel more confident with that on board.

I had one of those red wheel and abort autopilot yesterday which I put down to low bright sunshine dead ahead blinding the cameras. All was ok as soon as I turned away.

Update on Abington Services Called this afternoon for a quick splash and dash. The Applegreen chargers are still not commissioned. There is a further expansion to the left of the Tesla SC area that I could not work out, but has more conduit coming up from concrete ground structures

I dont see this as a bad thing as they will also be available to all Tesla users - see my comment on Abington Services above. Having banks of chargers in the same way that we have seen with Tesla SC's is the way to go. As long as they are maintained, they will enable the transition to EV's.

Abington should shortly be more favourable. There are the 6 x Tesla SC as well as the 2 Gridserve points that have been established for a while, but now there are 8 x Applegreen rapid chargers at 175kW speed already built and shortly to be commissioned. The Tesla bays can be seen on the left.

I am guessing he meant dihydrogen oxide - H2O

Look up “Joe Mode”. That turns off and quietens lots of bongs

Just remember that the idea is more like an Amazon delivery for most of us. Simple and no frills. By way of your Merc comparison, you could have it handed over by a man/woman in a suit in a slick store with a big bow and a large bunch of flowers as an optional extra: add £1000. Most of us have...

You can buy it and claim reimbursement from the company or you can have the company make the payment to the insurance company. Six of one or half a dozen of the other. If you are moving your current NCB and insurance to the current car then your insurer will be well familiar with the deal.

Those are the details of the Registered Keeper recorded on the V5. The owner can be someone else, a Ltd Co for instance.

Admin charge per use probably. It will usually be for a place with a charger installed and the credit card cost is the main admin cost, then accounting for the transaction- if they are not a big establishment. They will usually be paying a set fee per transaction on credit cards, and it can...

You misunderstand the meaning. This thread is for news of new sites in the UK. Your query relates to the dynamic pricing at various sites and is covered in other threads to which you have been referred. Hope that helps. Welcome and enjoy your new car!

The accountant should tell you the cost/ benefit / tax options of taking a BEV vs ICE and the lease/purchase/ cost options. That advice should have been clear, get a BEV. The accountant does not tell you which one is best for you - that is your call. From all you say a M3LR will cover your...

Just to update - in case it turns up on a search! The Abington services now has an additional 8 rapid chargers almost ready to open, so with 2 x gridserve and 6 Tesla bays should give plenty of filling options. I have not yet got there and checked their prices and they are not yet on zapmap...

The OP here will be claiming the charging as a business expense, so using a SC on a long journey should not be a problem. I reckon it is hard to do a 200 mile journey without coming close to a SC or a working Gridserve or Applegreen etc. Taking a 20 minute comfort break is an easy adaption on a...

The answers are still the same as when you asked the same question in May asking about a Model Y and WannabeOwner gave you a long and sensible set of answers then and now. Did you speak to your accountant? You said then that you did lots of motorway miles and about 25k miles per year. You have...

Company car provided all found?

Well, welcome to a Brave New World then! As you now own an "iPad on wheels" you will have a sharp learning curve :) (some of which will be fun)

Still needs the odd wiggle - and on straight roads too!

We all would, but the trinkets and sparkly things are being doled out to keep us amused until they can do so!

The last one was "fixed" in an update last month - with the bonus that a free alignment with grid North was thrown in for UK users. Glad to be of service...

Two posts above yours you will see that he had everything fixed in April.

As you start to enjoy your first winter with your MY you are going to find more little "quirks" that never bothered a Californian designer. The recent addition of being able to open a car door using the app because the door handle is frozen is one such "improvement" recently provided - although...

I bought a lead from Tough Leads that is heavy duty and designed for EV's and have been happy with it. They also have an attachment that can go through a letterbox that you might find useful and is worth looking at when ordering...

If you have a Tesla then you are “in”. Non-Tesla’s have two options at those designated open to all SC’s: Occasional use at higher cost, or pay a membership subscription monthly and get the same rates as Tesla owners.

I don't think that you should waste a moment of your time on a futile mission! I think they are obviously aware of it as it appears to be noticed by several owners on several different sites and it is probably at the end of a very long "to do" list!

I think he was taking the mickey ;) We are driving around inside the biggest tracker system on the planet! Recording on all cameras all the time and reporting back to the mother ship.

This is normal at the moment where there are different peak and off peak prices. It shows on screen at the peak price even when off times. However your billing is correct at the reduced rate. It the moment the only way to get the correct prices is not on your screen but on your app/desktop etc...

I got 40.4 yesterday afternoon and before I had turned a wheel on it 40.4.1 was ready this morning and has just installed outside with the usual lights on and off. On completion of the install I got a Tesla notification on my phone informing me that there had been multiple wrong PIN to drive...

A few months ago!

That is a price change from 10pm to 6am, just a peculiar way of showing it - and introducing it! It is the same as many other sites recently

Just driven my M3 for the first time and as soon as I got close to a public road the speed limit appeared on my screen. So the local underlying data is there for me. Haven't been further than the local shop yet though.

That sounds interesting! I noticed that I got a Navigation update earlier this evening - but it was over wifi.

Mine was cheaper

Those appear to be the 175kW Applegreen chargers that are being rolled out by Welcome Break: That will be excellent for reducing the queues for the Tesla SC too as they will be more powerful than a shared SC!!

Ignore any tips and set it to whatever is comfortable for you. You will waste more time and money and energy chasing this particular phantom!

JIBYC, There are dual carriageways with traffic lights. In Belfast the M2 motorway ends with traffic lights!

When I first used Perth last year the in car nav took me to McDonalds. When I couldn't find the SC I then went the the ChargePlace Scotland site and found all the empty Tesla SC's right beside them!

That should have said US!

That all changes in January when Tesla become eligible again for the rebates for US built cars. Also a large bonus for battery manufacture in the UK hence the incentive to expand the battery production there also. But that is getting off topic ...

There is a state rebate for cars below a certain price in China, and they have reduced the price to take advantage of it, as is about to happen too in the USA in my opinion when the IRA comes into force in January. The increased production capacity in China and the similar increase in Berlin...

Yesterday driving on a stretch of dual carriageway that I have travelled a hundred times on autosteer and NOA (more recently) without any issue the car decided at one point to swerve violently towards another car was waiting in the median crossing to cross the carriageway. the car was sounding...

What I would like on one of these updates is some indication when the speed drops or won’t increase because of “fleet speed” interference. It happens too regularly and is very confusing when you can see on the screen the speed limit and the limit you have set eg both set at 60, and the car...

Not on my M3 either. No change to the previous.

First thing I brief new passengers as soon as they are seated is how to open the door to exit. Saves later regrets and heartache!
