    Portugal Again

    Hi - we are planning another trip to Portugal this autumn in our model 3. Up until now we have used the supercharger network to keep the car charged but this is becoming a constraint as we may have to travel 50+Km to recharge or find an AirBnB with a host willing to let us use a socket for a...

    Andorra

    Thanks for the suggestion, we looked up your ' over the top' via Pau and Portalet' route. It had some great write ups as a scenic route. Would you recommend this as a route back? The weather Thursday is some light snow on the Col du Pourtelet. Haven't driven the M3 in the snow yet- MS was...

    Andorra

    Thanks Sparkeur for the information. We are at L'Aldea at the moment and will start out journey home on Thursday. Perhaps we will give Andorra a miss this time. We last travelled through 40 years ago! We thought that the Toulouse route would be the best as we wanted to travel back up the west...

    Andorra

    Hi Jason - Yep Ibiza was fine - except for grounding on the camino all the time!!!!. Managed to find a neighbour who let us use his solar for a few days. Otherwise we used Juicepass - you can charge by the app at Can Curune. However we tried lots and lots of others - they all need RFID from the...

    Andorra

    Has anyone experienced problems in Andorra - We are travelling through Spain and wanted to go back through Andorra. I have tried to route though using the Tesla app and set destinations in Andorra and the app won't let me. Anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks

    Help - Charging in Spain/Ibiza

    Thanks for all the help and advice guys - I think I'll just sit with the car looking stupid in the carpark in Sta Eularia hoping a friendly EV person comes along and takes pity on me. I'll post and let you all know when I get it sorted. Sat in a Hotel in Gerona et the moment in the most...

    Help - Charging in Spain/Ibiza

    I think that plugshare is just a map rather than a charging company - I may have this wrong. There are lots of chargers on the island but almost all that I have looked at need a residency pass and a card from the local town hall to charge.

    Help - Charging in Spain/Ibiza

    Thanks for the reply - We've been learning Spanish for the last 6 months - Catalan seems a different ball game. Only just got used to the new Catalan road signs on the Island.

    Help - Charging in Spain/Ibiza

    I also understand that you can use the Juicemap app at one location on the island. It has awful reviews on the App Store - does anyone have any experience of this app?

    Help - Charging in Spain/Ibiza

    Hi - Thanks for the comments. I have one as well as the Schuko plug that fits in but I have never seen a caravan park on the Island. It seems we might need to book into Atzaro, one of the more expensive hotels on the island just to get a charge. regards Norman

    Help - Charging in Spain/Ibiza

    Hi - I hope that someone can help us. We are driving to Ibiza next week but the owner of the villa has said that we can't charge the car there because they are off grid and use a solar/battery system which they feel will damage their system. I have tried arguing the case but they are adamant -...

    Wanting to visit Portugal

    The information I was given was from a guy who drove through last year, (Portugese address and bank account) It also says the same on the AA website - only available with a Portuguese bank a/c and a Portuguese address. I checked charge map - Literally hundreds of points but when you click on...

    Wanting to visit Portugal

    Thanks for all your advice guys, I will get a Schuko extension from Farnell as I have tried repeatedly to get one from Tesla. I am currently trying to get one from Norway but I have a feeling there is something funny about their neutral/earthing setup so I may be wasting my money. I will look at...

    UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

    Hi - Had the same issue with mats - eventually went for the Abstract ocean moulded mats - they fit well and delivered quickly - about a week with UPS. Excellent quality, clean up easily and look good but I still think they are vastly overpriced for what they are.

    Wanting to visit Portugal

    Hi - Artiste - we were looking to book an Air BnB villa close to Albufiera. Having a bit of a problem getting a Shuko adapter - Tesla are always out of stock. The guy renting the villa did say we could charge there provided we pay for the power - which is entirely fair. How do you find driving...

    Wanting to visit Portugal

    We had planned a visit to Portugal this September in our Model 3. We were about to book an Air BnB when we checked the charger availability on the internet. Our research indicated that you can't use the Portuguese charging network unless you have a Portugese address and bank account. There are...

    The aftermath of the devastation caused by Storm Dennis in the UK this weekend resulted in a large number of trees being blown over. A number of unfortunate drivers were killed. In a freak accident in the Dorset country side, 2 Model X's were crushed diving towards each other. The occupants of...

    My ongoing Model 3 troubles since day one!

    I could not agree more. Our previous car was a Range Rover. It too had panels misaligned, poor paint and was dirty prior to collection. Dreadful PDI oversights - It broke down on the way home (connector issues quickly rectified.) Following that a series of software problems, sensor faults and...

    Driving in Scandinavia - help / advice needed

    Thanks for all the advice guys. I really appreciate it. We have started to plan our trip but it does seem rather daunting at the moment, particularly with the large number of different charging networks across Europe. Thanks for all the links that you posted. I will work my way through them. I...

    Driving in Scandinavia - help / advice needed

    Hi, just bought a new Model 3 (extended range) and we plan to take out summer vacation driving it to Norway. We've had a look round at various sites but can find a great deal about driving the Tesla w.r.t charging ( availability and fees) tolls and parking. I understand there are some...
