    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Not great... This was a real shock, but I think it is as I have just joined and my annual consumption figure is wrong.

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Centre dash screen now disabled due to a software update? ..or is that just my Tesla update experience talking? ;) Really like the sound of the 500e, I'm fed up how wide the MY is around town and for parking. Just need the wife to want to move on from her completely reliable and comfortable...

    [UK] 2024.2

    I ran the battery down to 28%, under 50% of the charge limit, excited to see what would happen when I returned home (sad, I know) but nothing did. No pop up, no message on phone, I'm on 2.8.

    One Year in....

    Currently only about 25% of our monthly electricity is used on charging the car, I've always assumed that overnight rates wouldn't benefit me as majority is daytime usage, but it seems like this OVO anytime would be an improvement on standard variable. I'll look in to that, thanks.

    Luton Airport Car Park 2 Fire

    BBC news briefly mentioned it was an EV at the end of their coverage. I do hope not.

    Tesla App - Charge Stats

    My Android Tesla app updated today (4.16.1-1536) and I can swipe for previous months and it has a Month \ Year selection box at the top of the Charge Stats page.

    Real world model Y experience

    I’ll play. This is partly based on a 2019LR M3 to 2022LR MY experience . What has delighted you? - Much quieter than the ‘19 M3. Much more practical, quicker touchscreen, like the heated steering wheel at the moment. What has disappointed you? - ride is a little firm, feels wide, easy to...

    Silent indicators

    I have had this too, I also think it is possibly related to following thread, although not for 10 mins more like 1 minute as you mention. is it normal to take 10mins for car to initialise from start !

    [UK] 2022.36

    Same on my MYLR. Just updated, on 'standard' update setting, variable overheat protection not listed on notes or showing in settings. Did a reboot but no change. Visually its just the energy app and supercharger info in this update.

    [uk] UltraSonic Sensors removal/TV replacement performance

    same here. I tried it at the quieter end of a supermarket car park, but then another car turns up and waits and the trolley man comes along and waits, all the time the Tesla is slowly moving forwards and back in the most unusual way of parking. I rush to take over and it does lots of beeping at...

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    I was at Moto Rugby yesterday, all 12 Tesla chargers filled up with 2 Teslas waiting. Luckily the 2nd car arrived only shortly before we left so hopefully didn't have long to wait for the next departure. Utter chaos up by the Gridserve chargers though - looked like an EV meet up, Porche, Jag...

    Summon not present? UK Model Y

    I rarely use summon (never smart summon) but have used it after parking in a car park and then thinking the car sticks out too much at the front. I walk round the back use summon to move it back a few inches. Hardly amazing stuff, but useful when on your own 'to see you back' without hitting a...

    is it normal to take 10mins for car to initialise from start !

    I also get this but only for about 30 seconds after driving off. I find it odd that there are no indicator sounds. I also get the eSOS warning periodically and that is more annoying as it doesn’t seem to clear during the drive. I’m on 24.6.5, which is not the latest, but haven’t been offered...

    [UK] 2022.24

    I've just been offered 24.6.5 upgrade, from 20.8, which seems to be fairly rare. Either just a bug-fixed version of 24.6 or a MY specific version. I'm on std update setting, hence the slower rollout.

    [UK] 2022.24

    according to not a tesla app 24% of cars are on 24.6 or higher, therefore I am surprised I haven't seen more negative feedback hitting the forums. I'm still on 20.8, amongst the 36%, and was planning to hold off updating... but perhaps Tesla Vision is not as bad as we fear? But I do agree that...

    Has anyone traded their 3 for a Y and regretted it?

    I certainly have no regrets. I too traded a 2019 USA M3 LR for the MY LR, due to trade-in value and renewing the warranty, but actually I feel the car is also better for my needs - the build is better, it is more solid and quieter - the efficiency is better due to the heat pump, trips that...

    Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]

    Imagining a (silly?) conflict scenario, what would you all do here... Say there were 3 supercharger spaces in a row available, I'd normally go for the middle one, plugging in on the passenger side of course. Then say a different EV turned up with driver-side charging, they wouldn't be able to...

    [Repair] Just bumped into someone in the car park…

    Someone scraped my M3 bumper when I was parked and wanted to pay for the repairs outside of insurance. I got a quote from a Tesla approved body shop who said I needed a new bumper (it was cracked by the fog light) and a respray - quoted £3.3k. Other party said they knew a body shop that could...

    Acceleration Boost 2022 (UK)

    I had AB on my 2019 M3. I always felt that, although statistically impressive, there was a lull in the acceleration of the standard LR. AB filled this for me making the car's acceleration feel more 'linear' and predictable. I'm not one to race off from traffic lights or record my 0-60...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Is the M3 on a UK eSIM and the MY on a Netherlands one? If so wonder if that could be related?

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Out with the old, in with the new. Traded the M3 for the MY today. Looks pretty good, although maybe fine scratches are just more difficult to spot on the white. Had to lower the PSI all round, as was about 50psi when collected. I have a couple of air bubbles in the PPF - do you think it is...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Interesting, maybe trade in values have peaked. :( I too had a confirmation lower than my estimate and given that my car looked pretty immaculate in the photos (only polished it this weekend) I was shocked that it had dropped hundreds of pounds. Brought back bad memories of car dealers...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I do wish Tesla would just move on from this end of quarter numbers game. I've put £100 down on an inventory MY and I've just received a text asking me to collect it on Monday, in less than 5 days (no real choice, then or lose car). I don't even have a confirmed trade in value, or statement...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    When I spoke to Tesla about how I get the first initial deposit back I threw in a couple of other questions... Location? Southampton Can you refund EAP if you dont like it? no What date will collection be so as to arrange insurance? 26th (!) to 31st When will I get my registration number? Oh...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    A blue and a black one just appeared. I went for one of the earlier ones too. Had to go up to inductions, so hope I don't regret that. Like Daavee waiting for trade in quote to be formalised. Managed to speak to Tesla, using call back option, was told to email DeliveryGB with my new RN and...

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    Hi, as my Trade in quote (from 20th Feb) expires before my MY delivery window (7th May on) Jason71 sensibly recommended that I get a new quote to lock in the price now. Having read here that you can re-quote by creating a new account I did so and the trade in estimate actually went up by £300...

    2022 Shipping Movements

    May 7th - 21st for me, Southampton, which is good - but unfortunately 3 weeks after my 60-day trade in offer expires. It will be a real dilemma whether to continue or not if the trade in price drops.

    Has anyone received one of these?

    I received it too but as I already have 2FA setup, just deleted it. Definitely worth doing, but log in to Tesla web site directly rather than use any email links to always be sure.

    Wheels stolen from Delivery Centre in Germany

    I dont think this has been covered before, but its a few days old news so apologies if it has. Thieves hit Tesla Delivery Center in Germany and steal wheels and aero caps from 11 brand new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles I hope Tesla don't just put on new wheels and pass them on to customers...

    Model Y real world winter range

    Once there are reliable fast chargers on all motorway services I do think EV range will be far less significant. Just pull in and charge as you would top up with fuel if low. However at the moment I still plan long trips and charging stops with ABRP so that we don't go miles out of the way to...

    Anyone got Ryzen on their UK (Shanghai) M3?

    Assuming this video isn't faked, then Sky Force will load quicker 🙃. I'm sure my maps dont load as slow as his Atom demo, and I would have though that was more network bandwidth related.

    Anyone else pondering Model 3 to Y when it lands in UK?

    Yes I thought about this too and I know than Elon has recently posted about the structural battery pack coming together. My concern is when will this be delivered for the RHD UK and the build to be considered as problem free as the current China models. Even when they are shipping the...

    Anyone else pondering Model 3 to Y when it lands in UK?

    I wasn't, but now I am. It's great looking back at these threads to see how we have changed our plans for the future that come from actual experience of owning the M3, and how life changes around us. My plans on purchasing the M3 LR in 2019 (having 'reserved it' since release) was to keep it...

    Model Y motorway feedback?

    With a number of people picking up their new MYs, looking great btw, and heading home on the motorway, how are people finding it at these speeds? The demo drives don't seem to have allowed people to travel at 70mph.. so was it noisy, how was efficiency? Keen to hear your feedback, I'm in a...

    2019 to latest Model 3 - worth it?

    Did you hear back about your trade in quote? I redid mine with Tesla today and it went up by £900, but still nowhere near the trade in price you were getting. I assume you just went to Menu\Trade-in on the web site? Hope you have got yours all agreed now.

    Stated Range vs Real World

    My 2019 LR (on 19s and with AB) has averaged about 303wh/mi since ownership, on all sorts of roads\speeds, however I also use the 2 miles to 1% guide. Short trips may be very inefficient but its easy to plug in at home so doesn't concern me so much. Long trips are where the range matters for...

    2019 to latest Model 3 - worth it?

    update: I've just run the quote again with 'no accidents' and the price hasn't changed. Perhaps that's due to the 7 day quote period?

    2019 to latest Model 3 - worth it?

    I wasn't sure what to report for accident damage... someone scraped round \ broke my front bumper last year and so their insurance paid for a new one to be fitted and resprayed at an approved Tesla bodyshop - so do I class that as 'accident - minor damage' (as it was damaged and Tesla should be...

    2019 to latest Model 3 - worth it?

    This thread has temped me to get a trade in quote on my 2019 LR, which is £42.4k - but to get the equivalent model new is £52.6k. My car sounds similar to the initial poster. I'd like the enhanced new version and to start my warranty again but at £10k I'm not sure it is worth it. Although £4k...

    Model 3 (not so!) Long range

    Trying different scenarios on ABRP for a long journey I did in the past showed me that a faster 2-stop strategy (e.g. 100% ref speed, 5h 11m; 110% 4h 58m) was overall quicker than a slower 1-stop strategy (90%, 5h 30m; 80% 5h 59m). Luckily the superchargers were pretty much en-route. While...

    Model 3 (not so!) Long range

    Same here, for my LR. I'm only doing short trips at the moment and so I'm getting 284Wh/mile which equates to 250+ miles range. (I have a 2019 model and don't see the 225-250 Wh/mile average that some do). Doing short trips I don't need to worry about range anyway, and so drive accordingly...

    Poll - 14 day EAP trial!

    I have both of these and got it earlier, I'm also not on the latest software. Perhaps log a ticket to request the trial or wait and see if it comes through in a bit?
