The 'onboard' user manual never worked in our Model3 (not even when connected by WiFi)

OMG Do you still need to make (a boring) video about driving a Tesla from the UK to France?

Update; Did pop in Tesla Small heath to charge and had a chat and they confirmed that indeed using NEC for deliveries due it has a large parking space

indeed so many road works going on at the moment on the A45

logic as EV's becoming just cars now so the early spirit of being clean and nature friendly is sadly along gone...

Closed for a week because town festival (Aracena)... Ended up on a 3kW charger with 5% left

hence the insurance premiums will go sky high the more are on the road and in hands of boy racers spoiling it for others, only time will tell

this boy racers behaviour will all end up in tears as insurance companies will just adjust their premium simples

Have a Sparky check the cabling, connections, resistance etc

Really? Driven from Dublin via UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal and back Spain, France, UK and could use my Schuko in all those countries...

Using the SC Small Heath delivery centre every weekend and had no issues even when all the 16 stalls are in use

1st Astra

SWMBO is commuting Solihull <-> Witney (140miles) at the moment with her M3 no issues BTW we don't have overnight charging so it can be done

indeed he did hammer some skates under the rear wheels towing on suspension parts i still disagree this whole exercise was unnecessary as the car was not in any danger to other traffic as being pushed into a lay-by by the police who actually knew how to put the car in neutral so they could...

This happend to our Model 3 Guy should have just used the tow hook, boast the 12v battery and used to tow mode and not damaged the tow hook cover including the bumper as he used a screwdriver and broke all the clips off I wasn't there so couldn't stop him...

same here; very annoying when on Autopilot and wanted a lane change to the left

We are in the same boat 1st floor flat Management company lying and unwilling to help so after months of emails and phone calls we got in touch with the local council and they are in the process of installing a double charge point on the public road just around the corner. Not the best solution...

YES Driving an EV (especially with NO home charging possible) is all about charging, full stop

My communication with Octopus; Quick question about Agile; So now we have those 30 minutes kWh slots. So lets say I'm in slot 11:00 - 11:30 with a price of £0.14 now using a shower that takes 9kW for 5 minutes (lets suppose it's the only apparatus use electricity) how do I get billed? is that...

Probably more to do with damp in the camera's. Had this last night too constant messages with blocked camera's and dropping out Cruise Control

Indeed as I asked them (Birmingham) today and got reply "Yes they are live" Unfortunately my Leaf has Chademo so couldn't test :D

I have indeed installed Type-B on Switched type PV inverters (transformer less) and Type AC on transformer PV Inverters like older the SMA SB For my own use I have SMA Sunny Boys transformer PV Inverters due the fact less EMC as being a Radio Amateur and I can use my HF transceivers very close...

That will be fine but you might want to exchange that 3 pin socket for a blue commando socket as they do a better job carrying currents over long times? example; Industrial Connectors IP44 230V Panel Socket 16A you local sparky could help you

Thanks @Glan gluaisne to bring this up I had this issue addressed in my post #21 (Rolec EV Wallpod) but was shot down...

To be able to charge on campings for example IEC 60309 - Wikipedia

Just downloaded & installed

How much time do you spend in a Supermarket? 30 min? 1 hour? What's a 7kW charger going to do on a Model 3? A drop in the ocean IMHO Even on my 24kWh Leaf it's not really worth the effort to charge for a short time... And be very careful as most of those Supermarket carparks do have a max...

No, when I passed there last Saturday those transformer boxes were still wrapped in plastic as far I could see

in one word "Quality" as it's not up to scratch for a £40+ car

So because YOU find it irritating it should NOT be an option for OTHER people who like to have this? Wow...

if true that's cool as I asked Elon for this via Model3Man

I have requested that for many years and always got the answer we working on it... And indeed they did it but very limited charge networks so hope they will improve over time

It also reveals their software vulnerabilities of previous versions food for crackers to attack not yet updated systems

Years back when I had a first generation Zoe was almost pushed from an Ecotricity charger on the M40 by an Outlander PHEV who parked so close to me and then started looking down waiting for me to finish my charge. Found it so imitating that when having enough charge moved to the next service...

SC fixed it for us as still under warranty i'm not going to do anything on a £40k+ vehicle

Say no more;

plenty of EasyJet Flight Info | Gatwick Airport

That will be good news for the Gatwick Taxi's

This is my portable box build years ago :D

And this was done in 2013... EVSE Build Day

Our M3 was on EU setting according SC when we booked her in

Is that at STOP 24 as there is already a duo Ecotricity charger?

i noted yesterday (Sunday 13 Sep) that i had to login again but that went without any issues (1Password)

A whole bunch of EVs charging on SC This is simply a software bug at the moment Tesla V3 Superchargers Surprisingly Charge Other EVs For Free

As if everyone can charge at home...

ours is installed Wednesday 9 Sep all in all in just about 20 min done but still need to be commissioned as the national networks was down

Glad it's not as when charging on a Pod Point AC post that will mean some one could just take your expensive AC cable home... The Pod Point AC post will unlock the Type Socket when unplugging the AC cable from the car while a Chargemaster AC post needs to be unlocked with the RFID card to unlock...
