Bonjour, je suis britannique mais j'habite en France. Nous avons une Model S début 2016, importée du Royaume-Uni. Nous avons eu un bon service de Tesla à Nantes. Malheureusement, le grand écran se décolle. Il doit être remplacé à terme. Est-ce que quelqu'un ici connaît le prix prévu pour ce...

One of the door mirror heaters on my Model S (2016 pre-facelift) no longer works. There is no other fault. One of the mirror assemblies was recently replaced entirely by Tesla after it got damaged, but not the one that is misbehaving. I've looked for a fuse that might be the issue but no luck. A...

SMS is a completely different ball-game; SMS messages can get through even when mobile broadband is stalled. Though I'm not sure an SMS would get through to an underground car park several levels down...

And you don't drive a new MS or a 3/Y?

That's interesting - is there any logic behind this? The cellular signal is pretty bad at the best of times!

That is what I expected to be confirmed. Thanks for the clafification.

Here's the imaginary scenario - there is no Internet available, either to your phone or the car. The car has been parked and is asleep. Can you wake the car and even drive it just using Bluetooth and the app? I tried this out if curiosity after the recent app glitch which was in the news. I...

@GeorgeSymonds I've now been reading that some testers are picky about which way around the single reversing and fod lights are!

I hope so although shining onto a wall the beams seem to have a tick upward to the left. But that was an observation a while ago. I'll have another look.

I'm resurrecting this one too! I need my car to pass the French local equivalent of the MOT. It has Xenon HIDs and coils. There is a manual mechanical adjustment accessible under the bonnet. I'm going to try to lower the left and raise the right and wondered if anyone here has also done this and...

I've read that it's not as simple as that... but I've already messaged them via the app. It would be nice if a third party supplier was cheaper too.

I need a replacement glass for the passenger side mirror (heated and dimming) - (Model S70D 2016) does anybody have a recommended source? Many thanks!

I've been discussing this on the TOGUK Facebook group. I need a set of tyres for my classic 19 inch rims. The Audi versions have the foam inserts but are 10% dearer - is it worth (£75 for a set) the extra? My brain is telling me its worth more for 21 inch rims. I can't say I have been concerned...

I think the CostCo £50-off per pair of tyres is still on? I think I can get four 19" Michelin PS4s for under £600, including fitting but probably not the foamed ones. I have PS3s on at the moment and I am not aware that they are foamed (they are not Tesla marked ones) and they are fine.

The typical rate for an installation in the UK is £500- £600 including all the parts.

Wow - that's a lot compared to here - though there is a government subsidy. I have been advised to buy the charge point here (around £400) and get it installed by a local electrician.

Thanks @Sparkeur - it seems I have nothing to worry about. I asked a question on the France forum about deals on installing a charging point at the house but no response yet. Would you know the rough price? (it's around £500 here in the UK).

It's happening less and pretty nonexistent from M3s. I actually wonder if pre-facelift MSs are even recognised as Teslas by some now? But enjoyed an acknowledged wave this week from another MS.

Salut. Désolé pour ma pauvre langue française. Je déménage bientôt en France depuis le Royaume-Uni et devra installer une borne de recharge dans ma nouvelle maison. Quel est le bon prix pour en fournir et en installer un? Y a-t-il des subventions gouvernementales? Je n'ai besoin que d'une unité...

We're going to move to France - does anybody know if the warranty will be honoured there (this is a Tesla used car warranty; we still have 36,000 miles/2 years and 9 months remaining).

I've fitted a French péage tag to my 2016 MS70D but it only works when it's waved through an open window. The windscreen is a 3rd party replacement. There are no dotted areas on the screen border where you're advised to mount it. Any ideas?

Reasonably new houses should conform to pin a recent assignment standard. I wired mine up accordingly and it worked first time at our friends' place (their house is 5 years old). but it would only take 5 minutes to rewire the plug if I needed to.

We're going back to France in a fortnight and I'm seriously thinking of getting an automatic toll transponder. It looks like they aren't too expensive and should mean goodbye to faffing around at toll booths.

Mobive and Révéo apps for pay as you go public charging in France have been recommended to me. I expect my Kiwhi card will cover any emergency top-ups I might need but I've installed these apps just in case, but not actually used them yet.

As I said earlier in this thread, when I looked back using octocomparison at my own data pre-Covid last year, Agile would have saved, if less, but still would have saved compared to Go. Bear in mind that was when I was slavishly limiting my charging as much as possible to the 4 off-peak hours to...

I'd have been better off switching from GO to Agile much earlier according to Octopus Comparison but we don't use much electricity at peak times.

Bit of a slip-up there at 16:30?! Lol!

The heating has been on the last couple of days :D

Do you have any peak time examples from last winter? The tariff I'm now on is 2.2p/k/wh and 17.9p/day standing charge. 90% of our winter gas usage is 5-7AM and 5-10PM and we set the thermostat reasonably low (19C). The projection with the 2.2p tariff is about £400 for the year.

Yesterday wasn't that generous with the negative pricing but 38kWh of juice for 47p isn't to be sniffed at :D

I'm quite relaxed about 2.2p for gas. We can't vary gas usage times as flexibly as electricity anyway. I might revisit this when the 2.2p deal expires in a year's time.

Sorry, haven't been on this forum a lot in recent weeks but after a year on GO now switched to Agile and after looking at my historical data on Octopus Comparison I wish I'd switched MUCH earlier. Octopus have also let me have their new customer rate for gas (2.2p/unit). I reckon in total I...

Yeah but looks at that brick work?! :D

I think traditional wax is yesterday's news. I now use CarPlan No.1 Super Gloss - it's clear polymer you spray on. There are quite a few similar products. Wash the car with a decent shampoo the get rid of most of the remaining water after rinsing, then use this stuff - it can be applied even if...

I've only seen third party notes mentioning bug-fixes but sometimes an update introduces some 'interesting' changes to the way AP works, for example. There has been some talk of changes to supercharger speeds and regen characteristics but these are probably just down to the recent warmer weather.

Well, it's installed, but of course not much opportunity to play with it at the moment. Does anyone know if there is anything of interest for AP1 owners?

Of course :) I have been told off by my wife as a result!

I'm surprised the police bimmer caught the Tesla (it's a Model 3)

Free Spotify doesn't allow you to create multiple playlists. But you can log in to your own Spotify account.

So have any draws for Y/Roadsters been done? Should I still be holding my breath for my referral?

Are you referring to the rumble that sounds if you change land without indicating?

Not even single VIN character :( Did you refer yourself with your new Raven MS?

Time goes by and the spotlight on the Tesla hyper EV has seemingly dimmed. And sort of linked to the above - when does (did) my referral chance to win one (or a Y) finish/expire?

The back of the Y is much nicer than the 3. The 3 looks nice from the front and sides but the back is just not right. The Y looks very similar to the 3 from the front. Final verdict for me will only be after seeing one up close and personal.

I think it will take a long time and we're already way behind much of the continent. Take Hemel Hempstead, a population of almost 100K, it has a very large business/industrial area, it's right next to J8 of the M1, J20 M25, and it has a junction with the A41. There are just 4 or 5 public EV...

When will the first after-market parcel shelf solar? :D

Um, to hide stuff? In some cars it seems to affect interior acoustics when it's removed.

A friend of mine has just bought a basic Leaf to replace his 10 year old Kia diesel. But it's probably just for daily local use rather than long journeys as he also has a relatively new big diesel estate. In which case the Leaf seems to make good sense.

My car j(AP1 MS) received 2020.8.1 an hour ago - 43 days since the previous update. Is this different to 2020.8? Anything of note for AP1? ** Update - only 4 other MS70Ds on 2020.8.1 and there doesn't seem to be a previous version of 2020.8. Not yet sure if that's good or bad!

After seeing recent videos of this happening it does kinda make sense, sadly.
