    Discretionary Commission Arrangements

    My first Tesla was Black Horse HP- the Tesla system and Blackhorse were reasonably integrated. Does anyone know if Tesla\Blackhorse had a discretionary commission arrangement in place? https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/reclaim-car-finance/

    North Wales: Unashamed Rant

    Sorry in advance but I need to let go of this and get it out. Charging in South Wales is progressing nicely. North Wales not so much. Lack of destination charging as well as ultra rapids. Flint isn’t exactly rural Wales. Holyhead Gridserve has 20 min parking fines. Geniepoints are virtually...

    The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 (UK)

    I missed this. It’s had a few mentions here but thought I’d attempt to summarise. Legislation comes into force 24 Nov 2023 (lots of staged implementation dates) and covers England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Abbreviated summary: From 24 Nov 2023 (in 2 weeks) Price transparency...

    Dynamic Supercharger Pricing

    It seems Tesla might have implemented dynamic pricing at some sites. It would be useful to see if we can establish what factor(s) drive the price. If you charge at Heathrow or Abingdon please can you add a message here in the following format. Site: Heathrow/Abington Date: Start time...

    UK EV Chargepoint Loses 2020

    Another thread sent me down a rabbit hole and I thought I would share my findings. I was interested in who made or lost money operating EV chargepoints in the UK. Rather than assume I thought I would go and find out. I couldn't find anyone making a profit. Not entirely surprising but still...

    Duracell jokes

    Being an early adopter you have to laugh with your friends about ‘how many Duracell batteries does it take’. Found this over on the US threads. Tesla Model 3 debris launched into homes in high-speed crash, driver cited for DUI Model 3 crash @ +100MPH BTW The answer is something like 4,416...

    It’s a sad day

    After 12,000 miles and 13 months, I’ve just agreed to hand back the car I love. Tesla made 4 attempts to fix the leak in the trunk lid without success. Link: Jun 20, 2020. SC’s last attempt made no difference and I don’t want a boot that will rust out in 3 years’ time. SC tried re-aligning the...

    Make all charge points contactless

    Tesla Roadside - Thank You!

    I locked myself out of the house today. House key in car. Phone + wallet in house. :oops: Went to the neighbours, called Tesla Assistance. 10 mins later (on hold) car open, keys recovered. Thank you Tesla! I know plenty of manufacturers can do it but it is a neat trick. 10 years ago that would...

    A/C Charging Reduced

    Hello from blighty! Has anyone suffered from reduced A/C charging on an M3? Lots of people in the UK having charging reduced from 30 or 32Amp down to 16A mid charge for no apparent reason. Typically we have Type 2, 32A single phase A/C wall connector at home. Main software release currently...

    OTA Software Updates

    I’ve been stalking TeslaFi’s firmware update page and think Tesla have started prioritising M3P’s over SR+ for updates. I’ve seen these new threads about new updates and they don’t land. Had the SR+ since Sept and I can pretty much say my software moves with the pack. Typically that’s about 1...

    Bug Report RHD

    On a RHD M3 if you try to drive away with the charger plugged in, the graphic if the car pops up a warning so far do good. But the button for opening the charge port appears on the wrong side of the car. Any Tesla Devs lurking, add it to the list!

    Spare Wheel?

    I’ve been looking for a full size M3 spare wheel to keep in my garage (direct replacement) so that if I get a flat I could driving as normal. There obviously haven’t been many M3s scrapped in the UK and USA shipping is going to be ££s for a spare wheel. The exact spec seems a little hard to find...

    Sentry Mode - Use sparingly!

    Sentry Mode ‘seems’ to use about 15 mile per day if left on the whole time. Let’s go with 300 Wh/m for this calculation. 15 x 0.3 = 4.5 kW per day. HW3.0/FSD computer uses 100W so that would be 2.4kW per day. Assume there must be some other hardware drawing too when the computer is on (PSUs...

    Ground clearance

    Could someone do me a favour?! Could you measure the height of an SR+ off of the ground. Height from the ground to the underside - the lower of either the sill or the battery somewhere below the B pillar? I need a new driveway because the current ICE grounds out on the pavement. I've modelled...
