    Home charging reduced

    Yes. It looks like a software update upset something. The charger app hasn’t changed from 32A but the Tesla app was stuck on 5A. i had some work done in Glasgow Tesla yesterday and a couple of updates in 24 hours. Fixed now so back to cheap charging tonight.

    Home charging reduced

    My home charger is limited by the car to 5A charge. For over 3 years I’ve been charging at home on a 32A setting without any issues. My charger is the EO Mini Pro and I’ve been using the Enel app to control charging times on Octopus Go. after an App upgrade the other night I had to reset the...

    Make sure you have sentry mode on!

    I was a victim of a hit and run while parked in my local town. Video was clear as was the model of car, registration and the driver who got out to check. £2200 worth of damage. Police took one look at the clarity of the 4 videos (front wings, front and rear of car) and waited until the limits of...

    Chargeplace Scotland 50kw CCS??

    I’m over the hill from Loch Lomond at Helensburgh. Brand spanking new chargers on the pier. I don’t know where the damaged ones are. I’ll pop by tomorrow and take a loo. I think if any are damaged it’s possible the Tarbet site might be but I won’t be going up there until next week

    So What Do We Think Of The Polestar 2?

    I thought that it looked like the old Saab 9000 with the heavy, boxy rear end. It’s not too bad looking as far as EVs go. For me it’s a bit like the Jaguar, too dear for the range But with a car maker finish unlike my model 3

    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    Not sure if you're replying to me or the OP. I haven’t posted my video because I don’t have editing software and can’t get rid of the number so won’t post in a public place. The damage is as I stated. In my opinion she used my car door as a brake and it is/was a police matter since she was...

    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    The door has a number of dents on it. On the lower part of the door where her bumper hit the line that forms a ridge Is dented and the door skint bulges above and below. Mid way between the line and the glass there’s a further vertical line which I think was her rear wing. I estimate she hit the...

    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    This happened to me in February. My wife was out with the car and my phone warned me that alarm had gone off. When she got home I viewed the video. Car, registration and incident was clear as was the fact that the driver parked up checked my car and drove off. That night I phoned the police to...

    French Camp Sites and Charging

    I’m hoping that there are no holidays in the ‘U.K.’. I think the Skye situation with the significant outbreak in the care home shows how tricky dealing with this virus is right now. Skye is a popular destination fir holidays. Anyone thinking of going there right now is really needing their head...

    French Camp Sites and Charging

    I wasn’t trying to lecture you. Indeed I’m hoping that everyone realises how bad this is and will be for some time to come. A lot of folk will be surprised to see limitations on travel coming down the line but they’re going to be essential to stop the spread of this condition. I’m a motorhome...

    French Camp Sites and Charging

    Given what’s going on in Skye right now and the fact that it might take 6-8 weeks before the authorities can suppress it (optimistically) I’m not sure that anywhere in Scotland will be any more accessible than the continent in the coming 6 months. It’s probably worth listening in to the daily...

    UK Model 3 and Dog Owners

    We would cross by the Chunnel and make stops overnight as well as plenty during the day. We currently have a motorhome and use the Amsterdam crossing normally. They stay in the van for 12 hours usually since neither likes to pee on the ferry and they hate the kennels on there. Travelling in the...

    UK Model 3 and Dog Owners

    Insurance claim and Sentry cam footage

    I didn’t have the insurance details of the other driver because they ran away. If I wanted to avoid an excess AND a big rise in my premiums in future I had little option. As it stands i only need to endure a premium rise (that’s bad enough)

    Insurance claim and Sentry cam footage

    My car was struck by another at the end of January. The other person got out of her car, looked at the damage then drove off. The video is crystal clear. I made a claim that night and reported it to the police (incident on 29 January). The insurance company (LV) advised me verbally that it was a...

    Factory shut down

    It’s crazy that fit people need to keep their social distance, jobs disappear, companies mothballed and the economy crashed for want of a credible government action at Westminster. It’s clear to many people by now that it would be better to test fir infection broadly and isolate those that have...

    Phantom braking still an issue

    My phantom braking has been largely due to other vehicles. The other day I was overtaking a parked forestry lorry giving it plenty of space and no traffic coming in the opposite direction in quite a bright stretch of road and the car braked fiercely. I have very narrow roads around me and cars...

    Emergency steering correction?

    I’ve been having this issue. My wife is gleeful in telling me that she doesn’t. It happens on roads I’ve been driving on for years. A bit alarming when the wheel squirms and the bell chines. It’s been a regular occurrence since the latest update

    Phantom braking still an issue

    Not only is phantom braking worse with the new software update (in AP) but I’m having ‘corrective steering’ warnings on roads I have happily driven since November with no change to my driving habits and style. Here’s hoping for a new iteration soon

    Anyone NOT had any issues with their Model 3?

    My car has been trouble free as far as running it goes. If someone hadn’t run into it, I wouldn’t need a replacement door that is on order. Tesla don’t seem to be able to predict when that door will be available. So no problems with my car but likely to have a problem with Tesla’s...

    Delivery in June/July?

    Iirc, the first indicator I had that I could rely on was an update on my VIN allied to confirmation of delivery dates in my account. That appeared to have been triggered by the relevant boat ejecting itself from the Panama Canal and heading towards the channel. It’s fair to point out that the...

    SD Card or Portable SSD drive for Sentry mode - Which one?

    I had something similar to this but it got very hot and failed after quite a short time. Currently using this 64GB SanDisk Extreme Micro SDXC with Adapter With no problems. Sentry mode just saved me from an excess after someone hit and run leaving me needing a new drivers door.

    Bad news and a bit of good news

    If I incur costs I can claim them back from the other side. Truth is, I can’t predict future costs in my insurance premium and I will just need to bite the bullet. What was more worrying to me was the possibility that someone other than the owner was responsible for driving. as an additional...

    Bad news and a bit of good news

    Update.

Having viewed the files, they were off to charge the...

    I have a quote from a local Toyota dealer that I can trust that has an excellent reputation for quality work. I need a new driver door and all the associated works, parts and labour. £2150!

    Bad news and a bit of good news

    My wife parked up in a local street while she went knitting. I got a notification that the car alarm had been triggered. At first she couldn’t see anything but on leaving her club and returning to the car a crease in the drivers door is visible. Thank heavens for sentry mode. I have a lovely...

    Charging pad & flash card

    I’ve never checked that tbh. All I know is that it doesn't show me that sentry mode isn’t working which is what happened after the first few triggers on the small thumb drive I had been using and that had been recommended from a link on here. The issue I had was to find a card that could handle...

    I’m struggling a bit with phantom braking. Yesterday, 70mpf on a dual carriageway overtaking a car, moved out with plenty of time, outside lane clear for ever ahead and car brakes to 60 as I try to pass. A similar thing happened further on on the same road (which has full central crash barriers...

    Number plate change

    I searched online and in YouTube. Surprisingly, there are no videos of the task. There are 2 ‘lugs’ on each of the vertical sides that need some help to release. The frame then pivots down on the bottom links. My acrylic number plates are, indeed, to thick since the original plate is metal and...

    How do I add a second phone key?
