I second the people saying to check for bent/cracked rims. I've had three wheels bent so far...

I use the car to start the charge and Teslafi to stop it. Not ideal I know, but it has worked perfectly for over a year now.

I keep getting a charge port latch not engaged warning on the app. The thing is as far as I can tell it is engaged. I.e. it is locked in unless I unlock it. Also, charging seems to work absolutely fine. That said, if anyone has any similar experience I’m interested to see if I should be...

Shame about the car but good that you are OK after that.

I've had a couple of experiences; the local garage just got some wooden wedges and asked me to drive up onto them to get the jack under the car. I've also had a garage use some large airbags under the jack points, which worked well.

Thanks this is what I figured.

Thanks

Hi I need to charge to 100% tomorrow for a long drive. I’ll be leaving about 9am (ish). Can I just charge to 100% tonight in the Octopus Go window and then go or should I time it more accurately to align with departure time? 2019 model 3P btw. Thanks!

Thank you, I thought I was going mad!

After driving more recently and seeing traffic patterns return to normal, do we have any lanes to spare? I wonder how understanding drivers would be on a Friday afternoon if they just removed a lane of the M25 and made it exclusively for the use of fancy self-driving cars...

Does sound unlucky, I've had one service appointment which was to replace the rear spoiler, a common issue I believe. I hope your luck improves from now on!

Also, unlike a regular ICE doesn't the M3, and others(?) run air through the A/C for battery cooling, perhaps that's added wear & tear 🤷‍♂️

Seems like the sensible thing to do is ask the finance company. I'm sure they'll be able to offer you a solution. I have extended a PCP agreement previously, they volunteered the offer as I got near the end of my agreement.

Being cold (or hot) when you get in, then waiting for the heating to work...

Really sympathise with your situation, maybe consider escalating even further? How about reaching out directly to the CEO - https://www.ceoemail.com/s.php?id=ceo-9334 or maybe find their head office switchboard number and ask to speak to the CEO or most senior person available. It is quite...

Great shout

Really disappointing to hear you're going through this experience. The fact that they are now pointing the finger back at you, for me, really shows how unprofessional they are. Cameras or no cameras etc., all they need is a plug socket. I think you did the right thing going to your insurance...

You can locate rattles and such using an app on your phone, connecting to the car's entertainment system, turn the volume up and go through the frequency until it starts to resonate. I can't claim I came up with this I saw it on a Youtube video but I've been doing it for years and it works every...

I joined in Feb 2020 and still no smart meter installation, despite many requests for updates etc. I think it's just an absolute postcode lottery. I've given up at the moment as I'm moving house soonish... I would be interested to hear if my experience is similar to other people in South...

The whole accident hire car market seems to be an absolute racket from what I can see. Probably part of the reason we are all paying such high premiums...

I had a very similar incident, so for what it's worth... I got the drivers details and called their insurers directly. Explained who I was and who they were etc. I said would you like to accept responsibility, save some money etc and just fix my car? They were extremely receptive to that. They...

It’s worth raising a service appointment if you don’t get one fairly quick. I would say maximum of a month personally. I didn’t get an update for well over a month and it turned out to be a problem on Tesla’s side. At the end of the day you’ve bought an expensive car and you understandably want...

Interesting points raised thank you. After giving it some thought I may just buy a Tesla wall charger. I didn't do this first time round as 1) I was (even) more naive about it all then I am now and 2) it wasn't included with the grant - That I won't be getting now anyway...

I would imagine taking the floorboards or the roof tiles would not be acceptable however, I could take an integrated fridge/freezer if desired. Or in fact, any fixtures and/or fittings that aren't negotiated as part of the sale. There is nothing explicit that lists a charger as part of it. In my...

Sadly the house sold just before that. Also, how can I put this.... having met the buyers. I don't think they would care...

Currently going through the process of buying a new house... Now thinking about what to do with the EV Charger, wondered if anyone has or is gone/going through this process already? It's a Rolec installed just over 12 months ago. Thanks!

hmmm, I've been with Octopus since Feb and still waiting for a smart meter upgrade. I have an old smart meter that's tied to British Gas apparently. I guess its a bit of a postcode lottery?

Embarrassingly, years ago I moved house and forgot to update the address on the V5. My car at the time was £0 VED. I never gave it another thought until I got quite an aggressive letter from the police about my car tax. I think I got an £80 fine for failing to tax my car. Lesson learned.

I would just appreciate the ability to adjust the sensitivity/intensity level. Which is how it works on most other cars, if my old Golf had not had that adjustment I probably would have been just as frustrated. The constant wiping when the screen is dry though, yeah that is annoying!

I might be paraphrasing but isn't this the reason why the grant is only available to certain 'smart' chargers, so they can, among other features be remotely shut off in case of over demand?

I was/am in the same situation as OP. Have a British Gas smart meter which is incompatible, sadly have been waiting since March for the new smart meter installation. Seems some people can be in for a wait depending on where they live.

Interesting it was just under 500mb for me

Downloading...

OK, OK, no need to rub it in! My insurance was £1,100 - late 30s, no accidents, points 10k miles a year. :)

At 1.5GB it must have copied my brain several times, ha!

Wow 20GB+ is huge, map update maybe as a precursor to some traffic light automation? Strangely I also had the bluetooth sound issue and made a service appointment which was cancelled after they said it would be fixed in the next update.

Noted something interesting recently, my car is uploading A LOT of data very soon after I get home from any journey. I have driven the car twice since Sunday - about 100(ish) miles and it has uploaded 1.5GB. This has been happening for a while now, seems pretty much every drive further than the...

Seems like there are issues with sound since the latest update, I haven't had the pleasure of unexpected full volume, however, if anyone calls me while my iPhone is connected to Bluetooth there is a very high chance it will kill ALL sounds in the car. Not only media, but all system also sounds...

Barnsley is at Tankersley Manor Hotel just off the M1. The Village is on the M62 and is labelled as Leeds, sorry to be pedantic.

For the headlights i found them extremely poor initially. However, I went into the headlight adjustment menu and they performed a self level, much better now. It doesn’t seem clear about this in the manual

Forgive my ignorance but then what's the point of washing our hands with regular soap as advised?

I had the same behaviour too early on, I deleted the Tesla app, reinstalled and signed back in, that seemed to fix it. I still get the occasional time it won't connect but its rare and always temporary.

For what its worth there are a number of products that you could use to safely clean the interior. This is pretty good and is antibacterial Gtechniq I2 Tri-Clean (500ml & 5L) | Ultimate Finish as a bonus it makes your car smell nice too.

Could anyone suggest why/how Spotify if downloading, (or playing I guess in the car?) whilst it is parked and locked on the drive? Its the second time I have noticed this behaviour recently. In this case it corresponds with 2 very short drives i did today, I wasn’t even listening to Spotify ether.

Collected early December and 3k+ miles now and no issues.

Yes you do as long as you have HW3

I have the Rolec smart charger, it’s installed on the same wall as the bedroom, in a house. It’s a new(ish) build ~5 years old. The start/stop clunk of the contactors is really noticeable. I was actually just thinking the other day I wish I’d done a bit more research but I had zero experience...
