    Wiper blade for Model S passenger side?

    I don’t know the answer, but wonder if the boxes the bladed were supplied in do? When I got the Bosch blades for our Model 3, the boxes clearly states what car and side of the road they fitted. Maybe cross references with some web sites might give the correct pairing. It might also be possible...

    Run-away I-PACE, really?

    Sounds like the only issue was with the nut behind the wheel.

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    Will be interesting to see how quickly it responds to this weekends pre-planned M25 mayhem. And more interestingly, what alternatives it comes up with, especially unofficial detours - plenty of opportunities for it to come up with a magical mystery tour, or two. Source at Highways suggested...

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    I got in official Octopus app notification for todays session and was able to opt-in. Getting notifications these days via app or email is rare occurrence. Don’t do it for the money, but sitting in the (not quite) dark with minimal distractions is a nice alternative to the first world...

    New tesla 3 highland range -

    It would save a lot of confusion if they also showed the EPA range in adverts, although that may also lead to another type of confusion as some may not understand why there is more than one ‘range’ if not properly presented, even if many are already familiar with different mpg figures that we...

    Sounds like 2024.8 is starting the appear. Hoping the internal camera not working on some cars issue is resolved.

    Speed limit and warming chime

    Speed limit or TACC limit? Two completely different things. Speed limit is in a speed sign, TACC limit isn’t (can’t remember what the current visualisation is). It’s pretty common for TACC limit to change and is influenced by TACC set speed option - current or speed limit. Speed limit may...

    Charging solely using the Supercharger network

    Waiting whilst charging, any type, rapidly becomes a chore. I did it for a couple of months and was glad when I could eventually just plug it in and leave it without having to monitor and unplug/move when charge completed. And that was in the days when having to queue was pretty much unheard of.

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    My 500 (not an e) has 2, one either side - but that may be because I have headlight washers.

    Charging anomalies M3 & Zappi

    I noticed last week or so that the charge completed notification was very late. It may have been a comms /api issue as iirc TeslaFi reported a phantom charge. I say phantom charge as I checked my homebrew electricity monitor that spot measures every 5 minutes but also averages over that time...

    Charging Renault Zoe with a Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector

    For OP, also worth reading the bit towards end about various versions affecting ability to charge non Teslas. https://github.com/ngardiner/TWCManager/blob/main/docs/README.md#what-do-we-know-about-the-various-different-tesla-wall-charger-revisions-and-how-they-operate

    Charging Renault Zoe with a Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector

    I’m pretty sure Gen 2 does - it’s the setting to allow Tesla destination charging to be Tesla Only so only really used for commercial installs. Iirc it’s the dip switch shared with earthing type that is effectively documented as ‘do not touch’. Long time I looked at this but believe it’s...

    Tesla Accessories not delivered

    I know it’s potentially the same excuse for any delivery company that doesn’t have better checks in place, but DHL seem quite good as confusing 6 and 9 and similar road names. But not always. One one occasion, after a complaint, the delivery driver sheepishly delivered our parcel that had...

    Elveden superchargers removed

    I used them earlier this year and they could certainly not be described as being under used. They were full on both occasions we tried and didn’t bother with a third attempt as app said waiting. Looking very unloved though tucked away in a small area out the back. No sign of any new...

    [UK] 2024.2

    Out of curiosity, have you noticed any change in behaviour of the old issue when pulling back into lane 2 from lane 3 when on TACC etc and a lorry was in lane 1 slightly ahead that the car had a panic? I am sure many of us changed our driving habits to not pull into lane 2 when lorry was...

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    Where does it take you to in official octopus app? Is it possible to manually create an app link such as where a notification might take you to?

    2024 Insurance Costs

    <controversial> Just putting it out there, but how many people would be prepared to have their cars acceleration and top speed locked down if it gave them a significant discount on their vehicle insurance? I am sure there are many people who didn’t buy their Tesla for its performance and would...

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    Does that also allow you to sign up, or at least know when the sign up window is? I was specifically following this forums, especially @Pink Duck’s insights, but when clicking the savings session's link in app, I find nothing about any session or opting in. It’s a real shame as I was away for...

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    Are they also recording when people do not get notifications ? I probably receive a quarter of the opt in notifications that are being posted on here. Even if I see a potential event on here that there is likely to be an event and go into the app and specifically look for upcoming notifications...

    New Highland UK - stalks

    It’s a well studied example of risk compensation. Another (controversial) example, is not wearing a cycle helmet when riding on a road. You are less likely to be involved in an incident in the first place if not wearing a cycle helmet although it affects the behaviour of both cyclist and other...

    M3 windows opened/vented themselves this morning

    I had the same happen once, only noticed when I was snow foaming the car 🤫 although thankfully I was paying a little attention so not too much ingress. I never got to the bottom of why, but triggered by water whilst washing is a suspicion - it was a one off (hopefully). But investigating, IIRC...

    Corrosion

    I doubt it was to specifically address the OPs issue with front wheel sill area since they offered the front mud flaps OR the rear PPF, but not both. The free mudflap or PPF was more likely to address the issue with sill area ahead of rear wheel that was being ‘shotblasted’ and stripped of...

    Gen 2 Wall Connector temperature sensor issues

    I did similar but was a bit more selective with the tape using narrow Gorilla tape (duck tape is not waterproof) along the edges of the plastic cover after having first allowed the plug to dry out during a warm dry spell. We never actually had an issue but did the above to mitigate against any...

    New Highland UK - stalks

    Unreliable charging using Intelligent Octopus

    I though that I had this too, but still 2023.44.x - after further investigation, turns out it was probably a comms/API issue. How do you know the car stopped and started several times? I noticed this in TeslaFi so thought that it was the charge that had stopped. But investigation of the...

    New battery cost for a model 3.

    Most Model 3 batteries in UK would still be under warranty. Its only high mileage cars that would be out of warranty. Of course, you may be looking to replace a battery for some other reason… But if you have ballpark figure, I’ve heard 15k.

    2021 M3P OEM Tow Bar retrofit

    Does your hitch have any manufacturer stamping on it? Locking mechanism is very similar to our Model 3 one so not out of the question. I don’t know about Model X, but original Model 3 was made by Westfalia (that may now be branded blink) so may be worth checking on their website. In early days...

    Tesla Alternative?

    On early Model 3’s, the interior sensor is highly influenced by airflow from the heater. This significantly skews the cabin warmup time. Turn the heater off and see how quickly the cabin cools down. The car either has gawdawful thermal insulation or the reported cabin temperature is too high...

    Tesla Model Y - have I made a huge mistake

    Tesla ‘roadside assistance’ isn’t a particularly comprehensive service. It really for warranty breakages so things like tyres is a limited service (by time/place/availability) compared with more dedicated roadside services. You still very much need a plan B, such as dedicated recovery service...

    We had a BMW and VW over the 20 years or so prior to getting our Model 3 and I can think of one occasion where we had a wiper issue that was not dialed out by a minor adjustment of the wiper sensitivity toggle which considering 2 drivers shared those cars each with different tolerance of wiper...

    Even when on, cabin overheat still allows the car to sleep when temperature is below set point.
