    TeslaFi move to new official Tesla API

    Got the prompt from TeslaFi this morning to move to the new Tesla official API. Has anyone done it yet? Anything to report? Implications from email that it’s an urgent matter - we seemed to have lost logging sometime this morning. I’m never one to want to be at bleeding edge but looks like...

    The AA, Insurance etc renewal - why do we have to play these games?

    I just had a laughable AA Breakdown Assistance letter. Its the same each year, why do we have to play these games just to get a renewal premium that penalises loyal customers. I thought that this was now forbidden in UK law? Family breakdown cover for 3 people and 3 cars, incl. 'recovery' and...

    Just spotted on TeslaFi TeslaFi.com Tesla Model S 3 X Y Data Logger Whilst other Eurooean vehicles are having a new map rollout, the Budapest S90 at the top is having an old European map pushed. But it’s not the map version that is interesting. It’s the version of software that the car is...

    What posters did you have on your wall as a "teenager"?

    The looks of the Model Y thread got me thinking. If I was a teenage boy now, what posters would I have on my wall? So, what posters did you have on your wall as a teenager, and what would you think you would have if you were a contemporary teenager now? When I was a teenager, it was a Porsche...

    PSA - Make sure that you use manual headlights in poor weather

    Most car manufacturers, including Tesla (below), say that you should use manual headlights (rather than auto) in poor visibility, such as fog or heavy spray. Today, a white Tesla Mode 3 passed me then in front of my eyes, pretty much disappeared into the spray. As it passed me, its rear lights...

    What’s the slowest Supercharger rate you have had?

    Fleet 2B - not sharing. Must be a fault. 1A and 2A are coned off so whatever that was for probably meant 1A/B and 2A/B I was down to 3kW at one point. Back up to 135kW now I moved to new pair of stalls and incumbent car moved on so stopped sharing. Was ~70kW whilst having to share.

    What do people consider to be reasonable a reasonable kWh charge cost?

    Too many variables to post a poll and slightly tricky due to the current electricity markets (or use a delta from come charge costs), but though it interesting to ask anyway. What do you consider to be reasonable kWh/time charge costs and how might it affect your charging and driving habits?
