    Fob... I thought I’d read it would be prone to replay, but... it sleeps after 5 minutes of being stationary. So no signal to replay overnight.

    Eurotunnel - single deck or top deck?

    Any other recommendations for the tunnel? taking my m3 through in April. Booked into single deck on recognising reg plate. First time through in any vehicle. is there much opportunity to charge, or do you tend to get bumped onto an earlier train if you arrive earlier than booked? Chargers...

    It did a 4 point park into a space today - and then finally gave up. It’s not quite there yet!

    Stopping charge through the API

    Isn’t the car always awake while charging? Genuine question... is assumed it would be, but I guess it might be able to charge whilst sleeping?

    Nomad charger issues

    be careful. I’m assuming by hooking straight into the 12V supply you won’t have the same over-charge protection that saved my car from damage!

    Nomad charger issues

    So then JPP - I took your good advice... and the charger melted! Was plugged in for about 15 seconds when I could smell something. Another 15 and I managed to pull the cables out the charger. Awful plastic burning smell. A small indent in the back of the unit where it’s melted. So... it...

    Tow hitch bike racks

    Carrier is 15 kg. My gravel bike is carbon so only around 10 kg. So another 30kg to play with. And there's only me and the wife. If I'm taking my MTB - then that's definitely heavier - but likely just to be mine on the carrier.

    Tow hitch bike racks

    That was as far as it would go without me sitting on it. It did lock into one of the bike carrier positions (i.e. grey button clicked out). Maybe it will loosen over time?

    Tow Hitch Waiting Room

    My guess this is due to the difference between a US ton and UK tonne A US ton is 907kg - which rounded a little bit is 910kg I'm betting the V5 figure is incorrectly calculated based on a towing capacity of "1 ton" ? Just a thought ?

    Nomad charger issues

    Unplugged everything. Did a full reboot (thanks Vanilla). Plugged in the splitters using the correct ends for data vs just power Still not working :-(

    Nomad charger issues

    Ok - my research agrees - one of the split cables for power only, one for power and data... will try as soon as I can escape the family and sit in the car for a bit.

    Nomad charger issues

    Got my car last Wednesday. Had v9. Plugged my nomad wireless charger directly into both USB ports. Charged my iPhone 11 fine. Plugged in the supplier splitter cable, plugged half into Nomad, and USB memory stick into one of the spare ports... charged fine, recorded fine. Overnight it updated to...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    Took delivery of my Salary Sacrifice LeasePlan Model 3 last Wednesday. Had an email through from LeasePlan today confirming my order has been placed with Tesla. And not to pick it up before they send an insurance certificate across. WTF?!!

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    They were doing similar at Stockport last week with the Type 2 cables. As soon as someone asked for one, they got given one. But I bet all those that didn’t won’t have had one. Guess they’re running low as they try and get as many cars out before the end of the quarter. Shame they could’ve...

    LR Blue/White/FSD/Tow... Ordered 1st May. Added Tow in July. VIN assigned 1st December. Email delivery range 25th Dec to 1st Jan. Phoned today, and told car in Zee and they'll look to deliver before Christmas. Fingers firmly crossed. I think I've waited long enough.

    After 7 months and 2 days!!!!!!!!!! Any tactics for moving my new (and only) VIN to my new LeasePlan order? wait until it arrives in Stockport? try and get it moved whilst it’s on the boat??

    Nothing since the Dec/Jan text. No real update when I phone up. now have the 2 orders - original and salary sacrifice lease - will be interesting to see which arrives first! for some reason I’m still checking the source for a VIN on a daily basis. No idea why. what’s the chances I end up with...

    Tow Hitch Waiting Room

    I now have a second M3 on order. Identical spec, but through LeasePlan as a company car. Ordered 11/11/2019. In May I would have had to pay 16% BIK for almost 12 months. Assuming a January/February order - it will only be a couple, so financially it makes more sense now. Will be interesting to...

    EVEZY, anybody using them?

    Cost. I think £400/month all in for the i3 is a great price - given they included the active cruise control optional extra (through work scheme this would be no cheaper). The price for the M3 long range is double this at around £799. I can get it through work at £100/month less, choose the...

    EVEZY, anybody using them?

    I’ve an i3 with them whilst I wait for my Tesla. Apart from a 3 week wait after I wanted the car - all very impressive. They strictly limit to 1250 miles a month (with a soft cap at 1000), you don’t get a physical key (only through their app) and the insurance excess is ridiculous. however -...

    Location unveiled for EU Gigafactory

    Pre-September Order Waiting Room

    Anyone had any luck transferring an existing order across to a lease company? I’m in a position where due to the wait for mine, it now makes more sense to go through my company car scheme (offered through LeasePlan). I don’t want to lose my 5000 referral miles (okay it’s only £300 - but hey!)...

    Tow Hitch Waiting Room

    Or... I might just order through the work car lease scheme. didn’t make as much financial sense in June - but as it now looks like it’s going to be almost April - the BIK saving is looking more enticing!
