Hansshow Power Tailgate v4. Removed from '69 Tesla Model 3 performance in full working order. £100 + p&p Nick

Fascinated by the tyres! Will consider them when the MPS4S are due for replacement

Mine are based on 2019 M3P. 1) Electric boot 2) Centre console wrap 3) Wireless charging mat

I had a loan Model X for 6.5 weeks. I used superchargers a fair bit at zero cost to me and far exceeded the 100 or 200miles. Use and abuse :)

Spoken to electrician who does not believe any consideration / alterations to part-p is required when removing a circuit. Naturally need to make sure it's safe and terminated - I plan to simply remove the cable from the fusebox

Interesting points. I will double check with my solicitor. I did made specific mention in our fixtures and fittings form that it would be excluded thinking that would explicitly mention that it wasn’t part of the sale. Hadn’t considered part p

I'm moving house in a couple of weeks and fully intend to take my EO Pro Mini with me (also have a DC leakage box of tricks too). Easy to disconnect and I'll pull the cable through and out of the fuse box so it's clean. I may even fill the hole in the wall if I'm feeling kind.

How many miles have you got out of your original fronts / rears?

... that’s what she said

Everyone’s usage will vary slightly - so you’ll need to do your own sums. However, since I switched to Agile in March ‘20 I have saved £175.26 vs Go with an average spend of £45.31p/m. Even with the rates in Sept (which have been the worst I’ve seen Agile) I’m still saving £3.96 (month...

At the moment, the depreciation of the M3 seems incredibly low. Over 3 years that may be different of course. How would you find the ~£56k to purchase the car? Interest rates etc. may have a bearing on extra costs to buy

Presumably the difference with a new car charger is it's a new cable/run from the CU so classed as a new circuit? And it's a 32A (or in my case 16A) going out to a metal object so they're being extra cautious. All food for thought! Thanks again! Nick

I shall look forward to what I discover when we move in! Assuming it's still 2.5mm then there wouldn't be a need to replace it (just not armoured SWA)? Were you able to pull the cable through or did you have to dig it all out? Nick

Interesting re: Part P etc. Given I'm installing the EO Pro mini car charger, does that not need sign off from someone? Or does the DC leakage box void the need for that? Nick

Makes complete sense - thank you! I assume I could add the existing garage socket ring to the 40 A RCBO and the lighting circuit to the B6 fuse within the new CU (with DC leakage and open PEN protection). Don't worry - I will get an electrician to do the work Thanks for your help!

Photos of the CU, fuse in garage and the DC leakage device I’ve currently got. Would I need to reduce the fuse in the DC leakage box?

That's good to know. The whole garage is run off that 20A fuse - so anything plugged into the sockets, lights etc. (although wouldn't expect much / any load while the car is charging) does give a bit of wiggle room to run them in parallel to the car at 16A. I hope. Nick

I fully intend on taking my EO Pro mini and Matte device with me in the move - not sure I'd buy a car charger for 16A charging - but given I already have it, seems like a better option than commando & UMC combo. The garage is on a 63A 30mA RCD (with a 20A fuse) from the consumer unit. Can I run...

I should have mentioned that in my post. Current trends aside (nursery runs and the occasional longer journey at weekends) I can't think of any examples where I depleted the battery and needed a full charge the next day in the 10months of ownership. Certainly not likely to be a regular thing...

I have an EO Pro Mini, connected with a DC leakage box of tricks all working perfectly at 32A. However I have bought a new house (~20years old), which has a separate double garage approx. 10metres away from the main house. The garage does have power. I have not moved in yet and therefore unable...

Thanks for the headsup!

Following this post with interest. To my untrained ears I’ve always felt there’s a ‘warmth’ missing in the midrange. Depth from the sub surprised me and tweeters are ok (not a fan of the immersive sound stage however). Could the jump between 8” woofers in the doors and the “3 in the dash be...

Thanks for the info. Will explain why car ignored Energy.ev and charged to 90% at a more expensive rate than specified

I think there's a secret 4th option to consider here... Push your lawnmower to the petrol station and fill it up directly from the pump. And have a bumper sticker on the lawmower that says 'my other vehicle is a Tesla'

I've not got the Rolec or Ohme installed (EO Mini Pro). To me it sounds like your installer is pushing the one he knows. You would use the Rolec as a 'dumb' charger and then use EV.Energy app to control when to charge (taking into account Agile rates). The Ohme is smart already and links to...

Thoroughly enjoyed the read. Very well written, Sir!

I set a threshold to only charge 'off peak' when the rate is below a certain amount. I'm also on agile and I have mine set to only charge when the rate is less than 3p/kWh (for example). Then it works out how much charge is needed and goes for the cheapest times to make sure I hit set charge...

I set the car to schedule a charge at 00:00 so that it doesn't try and start a charge as soon as I plug the car in. Then have the EV.Energy app to do the rest. Have car to be ready for 16:00 (as you won't want it to try and charge after 16:00). What do you set your 'only charge off-peak'...

My wife and I both share the same Tesla log-in (lease vehicle) and have different profiles set. The car happily distinguishes between each phone. However, if we were both getting into the car, 9/10 it will pick up my wife's phone and move seat etc. to her profile even if I get to the car (with...

I spy another M3P at the start of the video - what was the trackday event? How did they get on?

Wouldn't it be awesome if there were 3x groups (beginner, inter, advanced) in a day each being 20min sessions. And in the 40mins you weren't on track you could plug in to a high-speed charger to top back up to 100% Unfortunately until the infrastructure is there to do that then tracking any...

There is now a v4 from Hansshow. I’ve just ordered it. However it works without plugging the canbus connector in. I.e it’s optional

Hi Jar, I added personal plate to my LeasePlan Tesla - ultimately you pay an admin fee for THEM to do it as they have the V5C. Oh and you have to put your plate in their name - or at least put them as authoriser (I forget the technical term). Definitely possible, but be prepared to pay a...

JAR897, Is this the Abstract Ocean vinyl wrap? Center Console Vinyl Wrap for Model 3 How much kind, Sir? Nick

This is an example (from this morning) why I’m not in love with the Energy.Ev app. If anyone has ideas as to why then welcome. Parameters: 1) set to charge from car at 00:00 to stop car charging immediately when plugged in (recommendation from energy.ev app) 2) Charge limit set to 90% 3) car...

I had the alarm go off for the first time in the last 6months after a software update Sunday. Just a one-off for now but will naturally be monitoring it. Also sentry mode disabled and on drive.

How often do you guys load the app on your iPhone? i.e. can I leave it to do its thing in the background? And refresh the daily Agile tariffs without intervention?

Just read Energy.ev and it suggests putting a delay timer in on the car (I.e. midnight) and then energy.ev app will override those settings within 30mins! I’ll give it a go

When I was on Go (before moving to Agile) I set the car to charge at 00:30 from the car and use TeslaFi schedule to stop charging at 04:30

Thanks. I’ll test it (outside of peak hours). Another anomaly is it stopped charging at 7am this morning. - Smart charging set to less than 6p, which agile rates in my area was like that until 7:30 - SoC was 83% with max set at 90% ‘I need my car by’ is set to 07:00. Wonder if that has a...

What do you guys do to stop the car trying to charge when you first plug it in?

I need to try ev.energy app again - I've not found it the most reliable and have now disabled it for the time being. Q - what impact does 'I need my car charged by: ' setting in the smart charging section? i.e. will it override 'only charge off-peak' setting? I wanted to use the app to...

Yeah, can see why the original metal plate would work better. I re-used a personal plate I already had made up.

The plate comfortably covers the mounting bracket such that you can barely see it. Secured with a couple of screws, simply because of the bend - however the end pieces of sticky pads have held, so I'd be quietly confident the whole thing would work with pads

Very straightforward... Take the outer Tesla plastic frame/bracket off (two screws) then you're left with a bracket that attaches to the bumper. Mount a plastic number plate to the bracket. I also used sticky pads on the ends to help the plate follow the bend/contour of the bumper.

Has this been lowered too? I'm not personally a fan of the stick-on front number plate. I tried and then went back to a normal one (without Tesla bracket).

Do you have the SR? My understanding was Premium interiors (LR and P) had premium connectivity for 1 year. I still have it on my M3P (also leased).

Assume you’ve had the car over a year? I don’t have access to my LeasePlan car at Tesla.com but do have access via the app so I’m not sure other than speaking with your lease company how you would do it?

Noel, Thanks for the door stickers. Fitted today

That's amazing if it does look further ahead. I presume wholesale prices are available much sooner than Octopus publish on their agile rates?
