So just got my car back from 3 weeks fixing dented doors and it has "12v battery must be replaced" warning - Fastlane, the repair shop, said its because its reporting 11.5v. They had the car in service mode for 3 weeks - and apparently that's why - not sure I'm convinced. Told me I should drive...

I present to you my Safari drive yesterday: Aircon was working overtime, and I am happy to report the monkeys left my car alone - I was spared the monkey balls view.

Ordered 2 months ago, not a peep since...

Got an idea to run my desktop PC while camping. Does anyone think it is possible to run it using an 500+W inverter from the 12v plug? Or is there a better way of doing it?

Got to sell my car due to difficulty with Divorce... Need to pay off a loan secured against the house. Planning to put it on AutoTrader tomorrow, but wondering if there is a better place? I got a 32k quote from WBAC... and a 31k quote from a "specialist" EV dealer - who doesn't have the cash...

That is all

Just now, on the Q3 earnings call... I'm kinda surprised it wasn't on his radar already. If he thought about it already he would have just shot it down.

Your unit rate calculation The unit rate charge (in pence per kilowatt-hour) for a given half-hour period is: min(2.2 x W + P, 33.33) where: 2.2 is a coefficient that includes our distribution costs W is the wholesale cost of electricity for that period (in pence per kilowatt-hour) P has...

Is it just me that gets overly wound up by their inaccurasies? I mean... Whats the point of listing statistics if you are going to get them wrong? They took "real range" from EV databse and then compared it to estimaed "real range" for polestar 2 ... Where the disclaimer is clrealy stated...

The app still doesn't work.... Tried calling 0162 845 0660 and pressing 5 for service, just resets the message and hangs up after 3rd try. Now calling Heathrow and on hold for last 15 min....

Had a look at the recent test drive video. We resently bought an old Leaf for the wife as she only needs to do small trips and wanted a cheap and more importantly small electric car. The 2017 leaf is still a fairly big car with a length of almost the same as a Model 3. The hona e looks to fit...

Had a bit of a unique experience. Got my wife a 2017 Leaf, which has a Type 1 plug. Was charging it using 3 pin plug adapter till now. We had the Type 2 to Type 1 adapter delivered. Couldn't get it to work and had almost given up. Found this bit of info though and it worked. You plug the TWC...

Just came back from holidays, thought I'd share the results. Can managed to fit a surprising amount of our luggage. 3 big suit cases + 2 little suitcases + 3 small backpacks all in boot/frunk with UMC and Type2 Left it on the 17th with 60%, valet mode on, sentry mode off Came back on 29th...

The owner manual states "Touch one of the options on the touchscreen to Answer or Ignore the call." Is there any other way? It would be nice to pick up a call via steering wheel.

So I'm trying to get SC to have a look at my front alignment again as well as the rear lights, which are more or less permanently fogged up. Issue is once I attach the photos and describe the issues, the put my postcode in the app gets stuck with a tesla logo on the screen and nothing else...

Having my front bumper adjusted as noted at delivery. Asked a few questions. Extra key cards cost £12 and they can be posted and activated by the owner in the car. The model 3 fob can be ordered by no idea when it will arrive. They do tyre rotation but no advice on how often you should do it...

So having had the car for over a month now, I've come to understand some of the limitations of the smart systems.... 1. TWC/UMC won't open your charge port if the car is locked. Had this yesterday, walked out without a key or phone and pressing the button did nothing. So can't pop out just to...

Noticed something strange over the last month I've had the car. I would sometimes pre-heat the car and have heated seats, but when you get to the car they are not on. I'm ok with that, maybe the car didn't get the message. Today was the strangest. Turned on my seat, it warmed up then turned...

After 2 bad purchases, I've finally found cables that fit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074QLJQS6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Has anyone got an update? I'm on 2019.15.106.1 3d1aae and it says it's up to date. most of the TeslaFi people are on 2019.32.2.1 9b8d6cd

Moderator comment - related thread from "TFL, AutoPay registration required?" merged I can see I can apply for a discount But not sure if I still need to register for autopay. The other issue is I don't have a V5C. I presume people get this in the post at some stage? What if I need to drive...

So I came across this today. On most other cars with a keyfob you can long press open/close button and all the windows will open or close. Was wondering if Tesla does this? Reason I'm asking is I left the window open to see what would happen when you walk away. It just locks, windows stay...

So I have a few niggles about panel gaps. Nothing major and does not affect function. Not sure if the inconvenience of losing the car for some days, plus may not get a loaner, plus may rattle after... slight misalignment of front bumper Gap is about 0.5mm larger on drivers side I'm...

Elon Musk on Twitter Make of that what you will

Ok, So I know it has ISOFIX and it's all good, but what I'd really like to find out is if the seats actually fit well. I got 2 MaxiCosi (pebble?) seats and they don't behave well with headrests. You have to remove headrests for them to fit properly and not lean forward a bit. Of course on the...

Found this nice website looking around for the turning circle info for the model 3 https://ev-database.uk/ Not sure if people know about it, nicely put together, the real world range estimates are pretty good too.

Model 3 VINs on Twitter

So bored waiting for anything new happening on my Tesla account thought I'd make a little poll. Seeing as Model 3 capacity is pretty low for family vacations and such, how many people will get a roof rack and/or roof box to fit all that extra stuff you need when long distance driving with the...

Auto Trader logo Not surprising I suppose. So if anyone want to jump the queue and get one today you can just pay the £64,995 price tag. I think it's the Performance plus with white interior which is £54,090 + docking fee from Tesla direct. So hes charging 10k for the privilege of jumping the...

List of eligible vehicles got updated today. Vehicles eligible for the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme - GOV.UK Already had a call from the Rolec guy. 5 meter Tethered + Earthing rod + 3 pin optional extra = £307 all in He also said that after June you have to install the smart variety...

Sorry for the stupid question, but not really sure what this means. Date I bought it? Date it was new? Date of trade in request? Thanks

Thinking about adding it but have no use for it right now, was wondering if you can fit it after.

Thinking of trying to get a good deal on a wall charger off Ebay while I wait for the Model 3 to arrive. My 2 concerns are: 1. Would Tesla honor a warranty claim if its faulty? 2. Any recent developments that makes new chargers better?

Ok so the most important thing is the range. Another 90 miles, sort of... Well actually, not really that usefull. A trip from London to Lyme Regis is 150 miles and takes 2 hours, I usually stop for a break anyway... Not really a drive 200 miles without a break guy... Trip to Holland we did in...
