I used precisely 0kWh during the session & apparently earned 9p based on our average usage. This is my second highest payout since the first saving session last year. It's also a timely reminder to chastise my wife for a target based on her ongoing extravagance compared to my iron will in...

English language verb. It's like claiming an election was stolen.

Classic case of Tesla giving drivers what Tesla want and no interest in feedback from the fleet

Type 2 and a 3 pin 10a UMC ‘granny’

Back? :oops: ...no but sounds like you may have one.

Elon Musk Biography By Walter Isaacson Fixed that for you.

It's a non-starter for most over here, only LHD now available in an RHD country.

Yes, for practical reasons I prefer the Y but the 3 was definitely a more engaging drive.

Yes, I'm 'inflicted' with it and the only area of almost 'parity' is when reversing with a clean rear camera in daylight (excepting low sun) or good lighting. Rear distance measurements are now improved and vision is OK with the three camera feeds plus mirrors. Kerb identification is also useful...

If we did it sounds like either your car might kill us or you (if we disagreed)!

Although you were replying to another poster, I think that may be at the root of many of the discussions here. Yes, I am more of a glass half full sort of a person & try to look for the best in life so on that basis I still regard both Teslas I have owned as the best cars overall that I've...

A Highland might force your name change to Volumemakers!

Cameras are compromised by dirt build up, spider webs, low sun, darkness, condensation, grease, lens chips etc none of which can be cured by software updates. Cars without sensors can therefore never achieve parity with those that do (& apart from the smoke and mirrors world that Tesla inhabits...

All the existing logos & badges are stuck on so it’s easy enough to remove with nylon fishing line & isopropanol, then apply a new Tesla badge

All the existing logos & badges are stuck on so it’s easy enough to remove with nylon fishing line & isopropanol, then apply a new Tesla badge.

I wish Octopus had changed the 'use an IO smart charge at least once per month' to 'mandatory or you will be removed from the tariff'. Many of us also have PV and batteries and still manage to use IO exactly as it was intended (and without having any impact on house battery SOC if researched...

The settings I have always used may be worth trying before you give up on Autopilot. The last time I had a serious braking incident was back in 2020 (about 25k miles ago in my original Tesla, a Model 3). I always use AP with my right foot above the accelerator and do very occasionally get a...

Mood lights are entirely appropriate - Teslas' already have software that can change your mood in an instant

They are usually the ‘look I’m faster than you’ crowd & increasingly the ‘I’m in a Tesla’ crowd. What a dilemma they must face, poor souls.

To get the most realistic comparison I trust you set a due date of around 23-26 days when doing this.

In July I used camp mode in the Model Y for the first time. A very comfortable night - front seats remained in their normal positions (I’m 5’10”) including easy entry but there was still room for a full length sleeping bag & foam base, climate at 16C, fan at the lowest setting & the car...

I have a notification that 38.6 has downloaded on my car but as I'm 4,700 miles away at the moment I will not install until home (& likely another update by then anyway, as happened last time).

I thought that the red paint on my Model Y (& presumably the one you have ordered) was a different red to Highland?

I've always done that but this year the lowest quote on comparison sites still increased by more than double.

Sounds like standard Tesla bull#hit to me - fog hovers close to the ground & low fog lights are designed to shine down, illuminating the road beneath the fog.

Fog lights?

The issue with web forums is that 'we know' each other but we don't really know the real person, just an Avatar or an impression based on the tone of someones postings etc. With very few exceptions we don't even share an actual photograph, therefore when someone passes away it is pot luck...

I already posted elsewhere saying pretty much the same. Whereas I believe your car does have USS, mine doesn't but in all other respects our Model Y LRs should be similar & I haven't had a single severe phantom braking incident on AP during the first 10k miles. Just a handful of gentle slow...

Model 3 LR 2020 £732 (but had to insure the car with one day notice) Direct Line 2021 £321 Churchill 2022 £335 Churchill Model Y LR 2023 £311 Privilege 2024 £627 (lowest quote Churchill, renewal due from 1/12/23) Fiat 500e 2022 £187 J Lewis 2023 £171 Churchill 2024 due from 13/1/24 All fully...

On the BG SAP IT system FIT readings are by email link & direct payments to the bank account.

Almost the same for me however we do still export a considerable amount via the second set of panels but no easy way to differentiate the FIT part from the rest because the Smart meter will only record the total. British Gas manage my FIT. Initially it was very efficient and prompt then a...

Early adopters have every right to feel aggrieved and it's great to see this positive result, I hope this will inspire many more to do the same. It's par for the course that Tesla still offer something so cynically marketed as Full Self Driving in the UK. However it's disappointing to see new...

Probably because the 42kW battery is restricted to 37kW at 100% so that's why we always let it charge to 'full' (~88% max). I don't find that to be an issue. The most annoying thins is having to remember the on-off dash button when exiting the car.

Myenergi was shown as part of the initial IO/Tesla sign up right from the beginning & I have used a Zappi since I joined the tariff in January 2022. It has always worked without fault (or gremlins).

National Health Service - free for all UK citizens & paid for out of taxation. It has its failings but is a much loved national institution, filled with amazing and dedicated front line staff.

Yes, I remember the faff I had adding the 5th icon last year. It certainly isn't an intuitive process.

The Model Y always had privacy glass as far as I can see (& the rear windows on my December 22 YLR also seem to have some sort of laminated glass which looks virtually identical to the front windows, it's also a double layer).

My solution is to fold the centre armrest whenever either of the errant ladies are due to occupy the rear seats (with the added benefit that greasy, glittery, flesh coloured smears from the sister-in-laws' exposed limbs remain on a generally hidden-from-view part of the car until later...

My gas meter frequently drops connection to the Electricity meter for up to 10 days at a time since May so before the billing cycle I send Octopus a request (via X/Twitter) for them to 'pull' the data. On each occasion I get a prompt reply that they are doing that & then the data appears...

It's the reason why I will never add anything that connects to the CANBUS. Tesla are known for being generally unsympathetic towards customers & frequently look for reasons to avoid responsibility, especially as they hold all the cards in terms of detailed historical data.

I signed up when I got the email last week even though I find it hard to save against almost zero peak consumption.

Yet here in Boise this morning, two really nice drip coffees (refills, inc organic cream) & large mixed fruit scones in a cafe we've frequented for many years were only $10.05 & well deserving of a tip even though this too wasn't table service. ...but grocery (& restaurant prices even before...

...this level of trust in the cameras? I like my Tesla but will never trust anything based on Tesla Vision over my own eyes - not for reversing let alone slamming into an 'unseen' vehicle beside me because a little red dot suggests it's OK.

Yes, whenever my wife or her sister are seated in an outer rear seat & rest a hand on the centre section this causes the warning. Very little pressure needs to be applied & I believe this changed with a fairly recent update as it never happened with the Model 3 or previously with the Y.

With various leaks via the service manual it is suggested there may be a forthcoming ludicrous M3 including sport seats based on the Model S. In other models 'ludicrous' is a step-up in performance so probably worth waiting to see (if wipers, poor matrix lights, vision without sensors, no...

...& nobody who makes a fruit cake leaves the stalks on :rolleyes:

I did in May! (disabled August but he often 'Turos' it so that's the most likely explanation)

Yes, I am staying with our family in Idaho now & with the ex rate barely above $1.2/£ basically everything is costing even more than May when we were last here. Oh for 2008 or anything pre Brexit when we used to see up to $2.0/£ (& by the way, Tesla have unilaterally disabled FSD Beta on the...

I have a 10m Masterplug heavy duty lead to use with the UMC (reported as 6m). For any/all extension cables it is recommended to fully uncoil & as a result I've never noticed any warmth whenever charging at 10a.

I can confirm that wipers, indicators and sensors work just as we should expect - unlike the Tesla offerings. As do the on-screen coloured reverse assist lines - more helpful than the Tesla offering. The Fiat version of Autopilot is also very good, no bongs and it stays engaged as you change...
