But Broxden is Tesla only, old V2’s.

Used the old Perth (Broxden) chargers yesterday. Button on the cable opened the port to allow me to plug in and charge, but for the first time here the button on the cable did not stop charging and unlock cable at the end. Had to use the screen (MX) to unlock the charge port.

Actually bizarre as it sounds I think I gained an hour. My winter off peak runs from 2400 - 0500. But with the clocks going forward 0500 becomes 0600. So by leaving it on the winter times last night I started charging the PW plus both cars at 2400 but theoretically wouldn’t stop charging...

I have just tried to reset my utility rate plan on the Powerwall settings in the Tesla app as my cheap period has changed with the clock change to 0100 - 0600. Apparently there are no options between 0030 and 0200 so the best I can do is starting at 0200, thus losing an hour of cheap rate...

Think yourselves lucky with all the changes .7 brings. The only change I see on my legacy MX, which got .7 a couple of nights back, is that the indicators are now just an arrow rather than an arrow in a circle, and I think that appeared on one of the previous updates. No comment on the wipers...

Unlikely I’m afraid. It’s been looking like that for a good month or so. But for your sake I hope I’m wrong!

My car died on Christmas Eve. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the local service centre (Aberdeen) was open between Christmas and New Year, unlike every other garage. The car was recovered to Tesla on Boxing Day and fixed for collection the day after New Years Day. Very impressed with...

Just a heads up that the service road at Tebay connecting the north to southbound areas will be closed on Monday 18th, Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th March from 6pm to 6am so no short cut access to the superchargers from the northbound M6. Folk heading north needing a charge at Tebay will have...

When I started looking round for a 500e for my wife my first port of call was our nearest Fiat dealer (Aberdeen). I was so disappointed with a) their obvious lack of knowledge about their products and b) their insistence on trying to sell me a vehicle they had in stock rather than with the...

Drew57 (post #5) could have written my response as he has said what I would say! We picked up our LaPrima 500e in Ocean Green (what a fantastic colour, is it blue or is it green?) almost exactly a year ago. We love it and it also shows 161miles at 100%. We purchased it from the Inverness...

Me too and it’s an old legacy MX!

We noticed that when we charged at Perth yesterday. Bizarrely I was monitoring availability both heading for Perth and whilst charging and it showed 9 available all the time. However apart from the 4 closed off (I suppose if they’re working but just blocked off they would show as being...

Thanks for that as I’ll probably need to use Newbridge again tomorrow on the way home. Luckily we were eastbound on the bypass but saw the horrendous west bound traffic. I actually said to my wife that I hoped nobody in that queue was hoping to charge at Newbridge. Glad you made it.

Charging at Newbridge (Edinburgh) this afternoon and all the chargers went down. Luckily I had enough to continue my journey but I note from various apps that it appears to be still down. So if anybody is planning on using Newbridge it may be worth checking availability beforehand.

I bought a new Raven MX Long Range (not the plus) in October 2019. It has been an excellent and well made car (it’s from the days when they were shipped in containers to Tilburg and reassembled there!) with very few issues. My battery degradation as far as I can tell is minimal. The only real...

Windscreen is spotless (almost). It is a known software bug that should have been fixed by now.

Several more updates (now on 30.9) and still broken on my legacy MX. As soon as I switch to park wipers start going until I put it into D or R !!!

Lucky I got in with extending my warranty last October. Never had any problems with the car until Christmas Eve. Failed HV battery coolant heater which was replaced no quibble under the Helvetia extended warranty for a grand total of £1600!! I probably would not have hung on to my car if I...

30.9 downloading now on my Legacy Raven MX

I’ve had my MX for over 4 years now. Being an oldie I have very sensitive eyes which dislike bright light intensely. However I have never had a problem with the MX windshield. I worry about breakage of the screen but not light in my eyes.

My Legacy Raven MX (2019) seems to get all the updates very early on (not always a good thing). I got 44.30.1 a couple of days back and I’m currently installing 44.30.2 - release notes show bug fixes only.

Did a 50mile drive yesterday in my legacy Raven MX up here in Aberdeenshire. Back roads only so no fast driving but heater on all the time and averaged 360w/mile - not too shabby for a big car.

Installed 38.6 on my Legacy MX Raven a couple of days back. I haven’t driven far since then but I haven’t noticed any issues yet (touch wood!).

Bl***y Range Rovers eh!

That exactly what I did with the freezers - turned them off yesterday evening once my wife had finished raiding them, then put them back on for a couple of hours this morning. Haven’t worked out how to use the generator to charge the PW yet.

Powerwall has been brilliant. We still have the outage and the PW has been running all the light loads convenient for everyday living (lights, radios, TV’s, oil fired central heating, power shower etc and the odd kettle. Turned the freezers off overnight and put them back on for a couple of...

Thanks for that. I’ve already set up the generator to do most of the heavy duty stuff (cooking, dishwasher, kettle etc - luckily we have a load of low wattage stuff we use in the motorhome), unplugged the cars as I don’t want them charging from the PW but hadn’t thought about the freezers -...

Good job I decided to leave the PW in active storm watch. Power outage now and it’s getting even windier and wetter outside.

Thanks for asking. Very heavy rain and high winds. Red alert doesn’t kick in until 6pm now so seems there is worse to come. So far we are ok although the SSEN power outage map shows lots of cuts around us - every time I look at the app there are more! Hunkered down indoors in front of the...

Interesting figures there Chris. We’ve been over in Guernsey with the MX and charged at Tebay on the way north today to 90%. Reached Perth on 26% (via A701 Devils Beef Tub road). That’s with a 100kwh battery. Got the call to download 32.7 in Guernsey but haven’t done it yet so the trip was...

Trouble is we’ve been away in Guernsey for a few weeks (with the Tesla) and we didn’t get home until late this afternoon by which time the PW had already fully charged (luckily only from 80% or so) before I realised storm watch had activated.

Our Powerwall has just told me it has activated storm watch and is now sitting fully charged until the forecast event is over (8pm Friday night). Never had this before but then we have never had a red weather warning from the met office before. However I hate using expensive grid power to run...

I‘ve just had the same message which is a bit strange as I have free unlimited supercharging. I hope it’s not a scam as I simply reentered the existing card details. I’ll have to keep an eye on spending on that card.

Since I had my Powerwall installed in April to complement the solar for which I am lucky enough to get FIT I have not used any peak time power. At an off peak rate of 4.5p which sometimes charges the cars and occasionally tops up the Powerwall my biggest expenditure on electricity by far is the...

I had the same issue on 26.6 as reported a couple of days back in the 2023.26 thread.

Being over 70 years old I wouldn’t even know where to look for Vampire Survivors (and do t think I want to!). Release notes mention something about Bluetooth controller support but again I wouldn’t know how to test it! My car is for very pleasurable long distance driving rather than playing...

Bug fixes, navigation informing you that your destination will be closing soon, Spotify refresh but no good to me as I never use Spotify, and a few other trivial things like Swiss/French keyboard, easier access to owners manual etc. IMHO nothing exciting at all although having the manual in...

installed 2023.23.6 over the weekend here in N Scotland. The only change I have noticed is that despite everything else retaining their English settings the owners manual on the car‘s touch screen was in Catalan!! Wouldn’t mind a bit of their weather but as I dont speak Catalan it could have...

I didn’t reboot anything or log out or in or contact Tesla service. App just started working as normal - everything comes to he/her who waits !

Abington (M74) superchargers all back in action again now following closure due to an accident.

Back up and running now!

Not connecting to car or Powerwall here either. Showing data from yesterday!

Rumour has it that a vehicle crashed into one of the chargers and all have been closed down for safety reasons until repairs are made.

Decision made! Lashed out and purchased 4 year extended warranty today and will keep my lovely Raven MX!!! No need to change it - never had any issues and the fee supercharging is worth a fair bit to me (has easily paid for the extended warranty)

I fairly regularly do Aberdeen to Poole (going to Guernsey by ferry from Poole to visit son who lives there) only using superchargers as I get free miles on my MX. No problems at all and now that Tebay has been upgraded as it was the only place I have ever had to wait I no longer have any fears...

I have had my Powerwall for the best part of 6 months and just leave it alone. The only settings I have input are reserve level and off peak charge times and tariff. Even when away I just leave it on ToU. Recently during 6 weeks away in the motorhome, so cars still topping up occasionally, it...

Need to take my first trip down South soon since Tebay supercharging was improved. Over the past couple of years I‘ve taken to timing my trip to try to avoid the inevitable queues there. Do I need to still do this or have the 12 V3 superchargers managed to alleviate the queuing problem?

Sorry guys but I cannot believe that some of you in the UK are actually considering buying a LHD MS or MX at RHD prices! Tesla have royally screwed us over left right and centre and some of you are just going to lie down and take it. Just stop and think a bit about what you are doing -...

Our most frequently made longish distance trip is a 600 mile round trip to Preston to check on aged FIL, probably once a month or so. Back in the good old days, before the advent of the MY and when the M3 had only just appeared on our shores, it was a great journey. With a full charge at home...

Here’s a thought. If they do actually cease to supply MS and MX to the RHD market over here will those of us who have been hanging on to our legacy vehicles waiting for the new ones to arrive actually have an appreciating asset / future collectors piece on our hands. The MX was only sold here...
