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...

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...

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

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?

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?

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?

First of all can I make it clear - I'm completely convinced human activity, primarily through fossil fuel CO2 emissions over the last 200 years is causing global warming and that we have to at least try to do something to stem the trend. It's why we've got a Tesla, why my kids are going...

2020.4.1 arrived on my MS70D the other day, 43 days after the previous update, which was 2019.40.2.3. The only thing of note from my experience is that voice commands have stopped working properly - not just failing to act on correctly recognised speech but failing to recognise quite simple...

I may never use it so hoping there might be a public charger pass card with no up front pre-payment or subscription for use in France? :D Otherwise, what's recommended? The trip is in 2 1/2 weeks so need the card by then.

We are going to stay with French friends dans la compagne next month. There are no public chargers at all (really!) in the vicinity apart from one Tesla destination charger on the other side of town at a swish restaurant/hotel. We might go there for dinner one evening but we won't be there...

Just been for a long weekend to Paris in our MS70D and quite pleased as we managed to equal or beat the in-car nav consumption predictions and ABRP. We're looking at property in France and this time next month we'll be in the sticks of the southern part of the Vendée. We'll granny charge at our...

This is our first Christmas with a Tesla!

Because for my Octopus Go installation they couldn't get a SMETS2 meter to work, I had to have a SMETS . For my SMETS1 meter I opted for the USB-powered Glow Stick device to monitor the meter in real time, accessible via an app called Bright. The other choice was a more conventional hand held...

I've mentioned this before - a knocking noise from under the car when on right lock over mild undulations in the road, like turning right at a T-junction, or even doing three point turns over rough ground. Tesla had the car in to fix this a couple of months ago and the work report mentioned...

At 37K miles now and the previous owner told me he had new Michelin Pilot Sport 3s fitted (by Tesla) at 18,000 so the current ones have lasted longer than the first set. I'm running 19 inch rims, so not stupidly low profiles :D I am guessing we'll need new tyres in the next 3-5K. I had a look...

I have heard that Octopus are offering some alternative time starts for their off-peak tariffs, as well as a 4.5p tariff for 3 hours instead of 4 and 5.5p for 5 hours - something like that. Speculation is that they are trying to spread the starting times and load. I've heard nothing from them...

Is there any way to dig out the kWh consumed when pre-heating the car in the mornings using Teslafi (while the car is still hooked up to the mains)?

Moderator comment - thread renamed from "Introducing Tesla Energy Plan" Just had an email from Tesla angling for us to sign up to a Tesla Energy Plan by the end of the year - free energy for a year being the bait. Has anyone else had this mailing? I see it's basically based on an Octopus...

Anyone care to speculate on the teaser news from Elon the other day of single-pedal driving mode and a small power boost will apply to pre-facelift cars?

Read all about it: Tesla shares soar after crushing third-quarter earnings

Ever since the first V10 update people have been reporting that after the update their cars were seemingly unlocked with the mirrors out. I experienced this, too but the issue is, perhaps, more extensive. Since then the passive-entry option on the menu has been flipping between greyed-out and...

I'm new to off-peak electricity and I have read that some tariffs don't change their trigger times when the clocks change. So this post is me asking for specific advice concerning Octopus GO but also to flag this to other newbies like me :)

I can't believe that we've had our classic MS70D for 5 months now and almost reached 7,000 miles in our tenure! It appears to have a battery in very good condition and even after 7K miles (37K in total) it still charges up to an indicated 200 miles (Typical) at 90% which equates to 222 at 100%...

Looks like I may have earned my first referral - a neighbour is ordering a Model 3. I understand the reward is 1000 free Supercharging miles each. But we already have free Supercharging. Does it just sit in one's account until, hopefully, we get to use it one day with a new car?

I don't know about you but we're enjoying a proverbial Indian Summer here in sunny West Herts today, but it will be cooler tomorrow and winter is only a few weeks away. I've not yet experienced Tesla driving in cold weather so I'm curious as to how much range loss we can expect in low single...

Idle curiosity, but I'm trying to find out if there is a way of evaluating what the real capacity of my car's batter pack is - to the nearest kWh. Is this valid? I use Teslafi; it says the SoC increased, say, 50% and x kWh was added (the, usually, lower figure of kWh added, not consumed (often...

After over 3 months and 4K+miles owning our Tesla and despite periods without a functioning home charge point (that's another story..) we've not needed more than a half a dozen or so Supercharger visits. However, in a few days we're venturing to Falmouth, about 280 miles from home and 60 miles...

When I took delivery of our 3 year old CPO MS70D I pointed out that some damage to the paint of the nearside rear door was much worse than shown in the preview photos provided by Tesla. West Drayton SC, where I collected the car from, agreed and a few weeks later the door was repainted by their...

I love our Model S but we've had a rather challenging month; I had a puncture, the windscreen got hit by a stone and cracked and our home charge wall point, after working faultlessly for a month, has started to play up again. Perhaps the most worrying thing is a hard metallic rattle that can...

I've decided to go for Teslafi with the annual sub. However, I can't really get my head around the sleep-related settings. As I'm (soon, hopefully! - technical difficulties atm) going to be doing the bulk of my home charging via Octopus GO between 00:30 and 04:30, I would like to set up...

As most of you will probably know, there is an almighty row going on amongst rattled owners who have seen their battery range chopped by as much as 10 percent overnight after a recent software update. I'll leave the full argument to others but after reading a lot of comments on Facebook...

Although I'm fairly relaxed about the need to use non-Tesla public charging I also feel I should be prepared for emergencies. However, I certainly won't be paying any subs Therefore, what are the recommended options? I'd prefer an app-based PAYG service. I have a Type 2 cable in the car. I...

While I have a facelft loaner (late 2017 or 67 reg) for a few more days I thought I'd try out TeslaCam but I can't seem to get it to work. The car definitely has Sentry Mode but when I plug in a FAT32 USB drive nothing happen. I've tried two different drives. Does the availability of Sentry...

I'm mainly interested in AP1 experience of this topic but it would be good to know how AP2 differs. In any case, on Facebook I'm getting a confusing response to the question: * If a speed limit sign is recognised and it's incorrect (I find this happens, for example, with side street speed limit...

AP1 can read speed limit signs, which is cool when encountering temporary speed limits, which we have a lot of here in the UK, but it frequently sees side street speed limit signs which are irrelevant or misses other speed speed limit signs so you end up with a limit warning that is too slow and...

I'm amazed that abetterrouteplanner.com (ABRP) is funded just through voluntary donations as it's very sophisticated and very useful. I think it's a little conservative as I have managed to better the predictions; today we did 200 miles including one Supercharger stop and the predicted charging...

I'm not used to Spotify and don't have a personal account. I was hoping the car, in effect, had its own account that could make multiple playlists, for example. It seems you can add tracks to 'Your Library' but that's about it? In fact even doing this I haven't worked out how to remove tracks...

My wife says she thinks the car slowed down for some (green) traffic lights today. At a different time instead of moving off in TACC mode when the car in front entered a roundabout after waiting, her car had put itself in hold mode even though she hadn't pressed the brake. Could the car be...

There was an update notification on the screen when my wife got in to drive to work this morning. The only thing of notice seems to be something about the positioning of the NAV display. But I've read elsewhere that it's reset profiles, etc.

I'm 5 foot 10 or 176cm tall and by default the tailgate is too low. Also, if I use the long button beep method to program the tailgate too open higher it doesn't appear to respect the new higher setting. I can move the tailgate manually to a decent height but then the programming procedure...

I have a very cheap fixed price deal with the controversial Outfox the Market supplier - just 10.1p/kWh - until August. Their standing charge is £13.99 a month, which is a bit steep, though. No exit fee. I've done some costing with estimated car charging costs, including 450kWh of annual...

I've just found tesla-screen.com but I'm a bit confused. The car's charge display says 190 miles range on the charging display but tesla-screen.com says 241 miles and 85% battery charge (it was charging at the time on the home charger). There are also icons for rear seat heating and sentry...

I only collected our first Tesla yesterday but we've already covered about 150 miles from small country roads to towns and motorways (or as you might say: freeways; I'm in the UK). It's a 3-year-old pre-facelift 70D and I have learned a huge amount regarding the car already, through...

From what I have read, LV and Direct Line appear to be the most-recommended insurers for Teslas in the UK. I did an online quote on the LV website and was rather shocked at how expensive they were - almost double the cheapest quote I got on Confused.com - is that usual and are so folks saying...

Just seen an ad for polyeurathane jacking-pads to protect the battery pack from damage when jacking the car up to change tyres, etc. https://www.gumtree.com/e/2-x-tesla-model-s-model-x-polyurethane-jacking-pad-tool-made-in-uk/v1%7C254221924767%7C0 Come to think of it - is a jack included as...

Sorry if this is s well known issue but I've tried to Google it; if one is fortunate enough to enjoy free supercharging here in the UK do you also get free Supercharging across the Channel?

I have relatives visiting in July from abroad and there are four of them plus a toddler. The toddler's brothers are in their late teens but not particularly tall. Would they fit in the jump-seats or are they strictly for sub 10-year olds? The only way I see they will all fit, including me or my...
