    Bump repair - Edinburgh?

    I've used JRM coachworks in murrayfield for repairs and mods over the years (nothing on the tesla, yet), but they may be gone - only a framework webpage there now.

    New Navigation Supercharger Prediction

    Having used both Keel and Trentham for the first time recently, I've added Keel to my 'avoid' list. Trentham with masses of V2 chargers, nice environment, proper food, beats out Keel on almost everything other than 'closeness to the motorway'.

    Andersen EV charger support

    Mine is one of the wood ones so no problems yet. They are however only held on by 2 small torx screws, so if they still do your colour you may be able to get a replacement?

    Andersen EV charger support

    Been solid for me I'm afraid. Reboot everything? Mine does have all 3 LED's on all the time now, but is otherwise working perfectly. I imagine a new core at my cost is in my future.

    Hiring a Tesla Q

    Last summer in Iceland I had to email hertz after pickup, car showed up in my app about 12 hours later.

    M3 Ludicrous - What do we know?

    I'm really hoping there is a version with a tow option 😂 like the old P-. And the adaptive suspension, ideally the full kit from the Raven S, right? Wishful thinking at this stage I think tho.

    Help Please

    For cancer, even the NHS doesn't dick around. Multiple people I know, and personal experience, has test -> consultation -> surgery inside a week. Obviously in the past now and it may different this year. What people I know have struggled with is getting put back together after the all clear is...

    Trailing efficiency steps?

    Oh, the bikes are terrible. With 3 on the back, and 1 + a roof box on the top we were probably 40% down - we were very fully loaded that day. In comparison the boat sits behind the car, under the boot lip height so I suspect turns the whole thing into a single aerodynamic unit mostly. But...

    Trailing efficiency steps?

    Yea - a small high performance dingy is pretty aero - 4.5m long, only 1.5ish wide and 80cm on its trailer in towing configuration. Also, I drive a bit slower when towing which gives you quite a lot back in terms of range to make up for the added drag. I've a photo in a really old thread...

    Trailing efficiency steps?

    You're probably right. Just aware of the savings tesla made by changing the bearings on the Raven S. You lose range going to bigger wheels as they are less aerodynamic and heavier and compliant with the lower ratio tyres, but that is all because you keep the same overall rolling size. For a...

    Trailing efficiency steps?

    Hi all, I've been trailing my boat around for the 4 years that I've had my m3p- quite happily, but this year I'm planning many more trips up and down the country. This made me wonder, is it worth a little more thought on the efficiency side? What can be done to a skimpy combi boat trailer to...

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    We have a polystyrene tray with spaces for tyre inflator kit and other bits n bobs. But there was a hollow that the charge cable could be coiled into. I'll get a photo later.

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    I was concerned about the 0 NCAP stars, although there is presumably more behind that than meets the eye? Did have it on the short list at one point, low milage second hand ones were an absolute steal.

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Also loving ours, although the software is a mess compared to the Tesla 😂. 6 different places on 2 different screens to change things, some of which are interrelated and some isn't, and a variety of different names for the same thing, depending who did the translation that day. Can't help with...

    My experience taking Tesla to court about FSD

    I'm not sure I agree with this, or To be fair I'm looking at AP rather than FSD as sold in the UK, but AP is demonstrably better than it was in 2019, and I know that FSB people got the drive through lights feature at some point. Not disagreeing with your point otherwise (I think everyone that...

    New headlights retrofit

    Just to check... 2019 p- in the UK should be ok to swap to the new headlights? Process looks something like: Aquire new headlight pair from fleabay/local friendly breaker etc Fit them, an afternoons work Talk to someone, eg the US guys mentioned above, while having a laptop physically...

    usb audio pauses between songs

    Interesting. I get micro pauses between tracks which I've been wondering if it was album art size (my software's default is to slightly over size the album art, presumably in case I ever want to display it on an imax screen or something). You obviously have a different problem tho. I'm also...

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Depends on your house and desired comfort levels. That's us maintaining 21 degrees most of the day in a 5 bed house. If we hadn't done insulation and the heatpump and just left the (old) gas system in place we would be paying £1000 a month just now. Seasonal co-efficience of performance is...

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Yea, reached that transition point to only buying off peak for us. But that is 'only' 19 panels and a 10kw battery, and a heat pump. It's frustrating that the green techs don't balance very well. I did manage to make the HP 1/3rd more efficient this year by tweaking software, but it...

    My problem with the compare apps is that they don't let you record your time shifting capabilities, they just look at history, which has time shifting for your current tariff.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Just wanted to say welcome to spring! A couple of times this week we have survived on 7.5p octopus power and sun. \o/. Yay for solar + batteries. It was a little weird as one of the days it did also hail and sleet. But sun is sun in between.

    So, day 1 done! Car arrived pretty perfect, new type 2 cable supplied since the garage had been using the car's one and all good. 2 slight weirdnesses I wonder if people can help with? The centre dash screen (uConnect screen in official parlance) is off every time we unlock then get in the...

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Fortunately we thought about most of this when buying and siting the (singular) charger and it is between our parking places and has a 8.5m cable on it. There are 13a sockets another meter away in the garage if we need them for backup. And I mostly charge once a week at work for free 😂 . It...

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    The prima extras didn't appeal enough - for a second car wife decided plain n simple was the way forward. If we could have had the split rear folding seats without the leather I could have been persuaded tbh, but that's not a thing 🙄.

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Brilliant advice, thanks for taking the time. There seemed to be some hints that pre heating is a la Prema feature only now, which would be insane. If true it will be added to the list next to forgetting the off button. Like you say, not a deal breaker. We also got sucked into the yearly...

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Not expected to wander far from home often, and when it does it will likely be to very predictable locations, so choosing charging apps shouldn't be a problem. It was more how the fiat app compares and if any other support apps (outside of charging) are worth having, and any other things that...

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Fiat seem to be doing silly offers on pre-reg e500's, so given we had agreed it was time to replace the 10 y/o swift we decided to go and try one. Honestly didn't expect it to meet the practicality requirements, but impressively it absorbed 4 of us well. I could easily sit behind my wife (if...

    There was one that tried to use the temp differential between the front and back of the panels to achieve something too. Also looked meh.

    Model 3 boot sizes over the years?

    The blue car in these pics looks like the floor on the section deeper into the car is lower than the under boot cover? The white car looks very similar to my 2019 and the red more like the blue?

    Model 3 boot sizes over the years?

    And going back to the oldest there does indeed say 425! Must be a change in measuring approach tho, it can't really be that different, can it? Guess I'll just have to prod the next Highland owner I see at a SC for a peek.

    Battery drained to zero

    The correct procedure for this is in the manual btw. Pop the tow hook cover out the front bumper. Behind it are a couple of leads. Connect these up to a spare or near by 12v source. This should be enough to unlock the doors I think then you are in, can set tow mode, open charge port for real...

    Model 3 boot sizes over the years?

    Has the model 3 boot varied over the years or into the Highland facelift? I was browsing reviews and older reviews list 425l, and newer reviews and the manual list it as 594l! Which if its right and not a reporting anomaly (maybe the 425 doesn't include the under trunk?) is a massive 40%...

    Buying a used M3P

    Rear upper forelinks are ~£300 for parts Front upper control arms are ~£130 a pair for parts. I've had both replaced now (and had to pay as I had dared to replace the stop LR suspension on my P- with something decent. Yes, I'm still sore at them, it was not modified parts that had failed, and...

    Buying a used M3P

    I'd agree with all this. My P- has had all its control arms done under warrantee and I know that they have significantly revised them over the years so if they aren't done, they will need it eventually. Frunk release cables bung up and get unreliable too, easy ranger fix, but better under...

    Here's how to charge with 32A commando in UK

    Ah. For you, in your parking space and it's your car so you know not to chew through the cable, you are probably fine. I was thinking if a larger swathe of public or staff could interfere with the car or cable you may need to demonstrate adequate diligence by having the 'safest' option, not...

    Here's how to charge with 32A commando in UK

    Would a work place be happy with formally sanctioned UMC use ? Sounds like it could be a liability/insurance problem. I don't for a second think there will actually be a problem, but sounds like the sort of thing a business could get upright about. The need to do things 'proper' etc. Possibly...

    Lane Change - Autopilot

    Yea. I didn't get that offered for no particular reason. I assume this is why they won't lett me have a trial now tho. But if the Highlands are coming with a trial, maybe they think it's improved enough?

    Lane Change - Autopilot

    Anyone any idea how to get an EAP trial on an old car? I'd dearly like to try it (especially next week when I have a return trip to the south coast scheduled), but no Bueno from tesla ever. I didn't get the option a few years back when some did either.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    With the HP obviously you use more power on a cold day to keep the house at a constant temp, but it's not linked to the agile pricing. I think someone said a few posts up that agile is more closely linked to wind than temp, although when it's really cold it tends to be less windy in the UK.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    How do you manage all this? Daily manual fiddling? Set and forget (and hope)? Home assistant? Looking at Dec agile looks really tempting, but I'm worried about the amount of time I'd spend fiddling, and less generous months.
