    Superchargers - Cheaper Electricity out of hours

    Am I right in thinking that Tesla don't make these costs (day or overnight) available online anywhere?

    Superchargers - Cheaper Electricity out of hours

    The email was pretty hopeless when it came to how a Tesla user could easily find these cheap overnight rate Superchargers.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Well I have done a Buster to Bullseeye OS upgrade using the blog here and then had to install Docker Compose again sudo pip3 -v install docker-compose After which I upgraded to 1.25.2 again and everything appears to be working! All very nerve racking!

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Thanks for that info - i now get it I have found out how to upgrade to Bullseye (here). My question is have existing Teslamate users done this upgrade and it been trouble free? I am on version 10/Buster and Kernal 5.10.63.

    FYI As far as I can see all the data is coming through again on my Teslamate including temperatures (driver/in/out).

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Well rolling back to 1.25.0 has indeed brought the :4000 site back and it looks like it is now getting updated again as the firmware revision shows what I have just downloaded to on the Tesla today. I guess I will keep an eye on the coming Teslamate updates to see if this problem gets resolved...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    The car has been out and about and just had a firmware update today. None of this appears on Teslamate and yes I am using a Pi. Checking back through my install notes it does not look like I ever specified an IP Address for the install so it should not be hard coded anywhere. Looking at the post...

    I will check - I just added that around the same time I also changed the DHCP address (resevrvation) it was getting (as I changed subnet from 192.168.1 to 192.168.50) but assumed this was not a problem????

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I can see a number of people having issues after applying the recent Teslamate udate and I am not sure if mine is exactly the same or the best way to resolve it- I updated to the latest Teslamate software and then had to fix the Grafana login after which it appeared to work. The Telamate...

    Sharing google destination and setting Home location issues

    I am generally very happy with my Tesla LR (MIC) apart from one service center issues (intermittent fault with computer). However today I was annoyed when sharing a destination from Google maps on my android to the Tesla and the car went to the wrong place - by about 400 meters. I assume this is...

    Tesla Model 3 not powering up

    Well they changed the computer - from invoice: "Correction: Car Computer (Remove & Replace)" (TLA,CAR.COMP,EU,HW3.0- PROVISIONED(1566786-S5-C). Appears to be OK although it didn't go wrong very frequently anyway so only time will tell. Generally a pretty good experience with the service centre...

    UK Electricity Generation Carbon Intensity Footprint

    Agreed underfloor makes sense for new builds, but just doing new builds will barely scratch the surface of the problem (climate change) though, and certainly not in the time frame required. Not so sure of about not adding much cost - a heat pump installation and underfloor heating for a whole...

    UK Electricity Generation Carbon Intensity Footprint

    I am not aware of this 2023 ban date (in the UK) - can you provide a gov link to this? Even the 2025 gas boiler ban is only for new builds. Heat pumps will be expensive to install in new builds (in comparison) and very expensive to convert existing installs (£5,000 to £10,000 for the heat pump...

    Tesla Model 3 not powering up

    If this is very uncommon amongst Tesla owners it would still suggest a fault which might be worth speaking to Tesla SC about. However I guess it is not too hard to live with either.

    UK Electricity Generation Carbon Intensity Footprint

    I think when it comes down to green electricity the UK needs an overhaul. There is the problem of many "100% renewable electricity" providers not by any means using 100% renewable energy. They achieve this by using REGOs (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) which are traded rather like carbon...

    Tesla Model 3 not powering up

    I just want to add that I am sure few people consider it, but the support from the community (e.g. this forum) is such a big plus when buying a Tesla. As much as I was interested in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 when purchasing I doubt whether it would have such an active helpful community. Thanks to you...

    Oh and lastly I run teslamate and think I saw when they got on remotely as the car woke up for no apparent reason shortly before they contacted me. Interesting.

    Tesla Model 3 not powering up

    The 1st line support guy asked me to check whether it would go into drive in the situation where it was dead. However in parellel this got referred to someone who specialised more in the area that was likely to be at fault, and they contacted me to say they looked at the symptoms (and logs?) and...

    Tesla Model 3 not powering up

    Just an update on this. Tesla are going to swap out the main CPU board in the car. They are picking my car up from my house (and leaving a spare) to take back to Edinburgh and I will then drive to SC to pick up when done. So far a very good experience dealing with SC/Tesla over this.

    When in Tesla and on WiFi I can't browse to local sites

    All these sites work from phones and desktops internally over the WiFi so I know the issue is not with DNS or the sites (the ssl certs map to the sites fine both internally and externally - where they are exposed). Re SNI support - the browser does appear to support SNI because if I turn off...

    When in Tesla and on WiFi I can't browse to local sites

    I noticed that when I am in the car on the local WiFi network (of my house) I can't seem to browse from the Tesla's browser to any sites hosted locally - it just does nothing. I have setup NAT Reflection on my PFSense firewall but that does not appear to fix it. These sites use SSL so I can't...

    Tesla Model 3 not powering up

    Next time I will try sitting in it for a couple of mins and see what happens. Isn't this a bit odd though having to wait a couple of mins before you can drive the car and also the remote app refresh not working?

    Tesla Model 3 not powering up

    For 2 days in a row I have unlocked the Tesla and found the 15" display dead and unresponsive. The remote refresh does not work either. I have got round the problem by holding down the 2 scroll wheels for 10+ secs and then the system has rebooted and all seems fine. Is there anything I should...

    Navigation talks over Audio

    Just found this thread and it is nuts that the Model 3 does not mute/reduce level of Radio etc when satnav route instructions are announced. Having separate levels for each is not a substitute. I have had this in my last 2 cars going back years which were not nearly as high tech as the Tesla.

    Made in China Model 3: Build Quality / Hardware Differences

    Excuse my ignorance here but being able to always charge a lithium-ion battery to 100% always/regularly pretty much goes against everything we have been told over the last x years (How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries - Battery University). So is this change of advice correct and reliable...

    Anyway to get Google Maps shortcuts to a Tesla?

    I don't quite understand you. Google maps does support shortcuts which can include up to 8 specified way-points on route. This can be shared between devices. I accept that Google maps could change this for traffic reasons (e.g. a traffic jam on route) although it will still go through all the...

    Anyway to get Google Maps shortcuts to a Tesla?

    It's not the planning of the route that is the issue, it is the followoing of the route using the Tesla navigation system. I don't think this therefore helps does it?

    Anyway to get Google Maps shortcuts to a Tesla?

    This then is one of the weaknesses of the non Android Auto approach as if going on a car tour you may want specific roads and not just the shortest route between A and B. If I open these links on my phone the google maps app picks up all the waypoints etc.

    Does Sentry mode full replace dashcam?

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    Sorry if this has been answered previously but why is the Tesla UK website saying you can still order (custom) a Model 3 LR for March delivery (estimated) when the ship has long since sailed from China? Do they bring a load of cars over that have not specifically been ordered?
