Did you go for a drive after setting up Teslamate? It may just need some data to process.

My 2020 M3LR is currently updating to 2022.12.3.2, the first update since 2022.8.2 on 23rd March. Looks like I've missed a few.

I had a Tesla chap working on my car last week, replacing both front upper suspension arms (already!). I asked him about tyre rotation, and he said it should have been done at 2.5k miles! Oops - a bit late for me at 12,000. He also said that it has to be done by Tesla - not really sure why. How...

You could always set the reminder for when the car has been left unlocked for 10 minutes, then it would tell you via the app.

Sorry - got a bit busy with other stuff and only found your post about the token generator this morning. I used "Tesla API Token" to get a token - worked first time. Glad you finally got it all sorted.

Thanks for that. I've managed to set it up using SSH. The URL is responding now (after a reboot), asking me to login. Then it says Recaptcha is required. What the heck does that mean? EDIT: Sorted now. I found out how to get a API token. Nothing's simple is it?

I'll try that if I can get the Pi to respond. It's not putting any video out now, or my connecting lead has given up the ghost.

Yes, I do. I did a bit more fiddling around with the.yml file, then tried to reboot and the Pi won't work at all now. Get a "Panic" on bootup. So at the moment I've got a £50 paperweight!

I tried adding the - DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=10 to the .yml file. No difference. The teslamate database is still not being created. I also tried a pool size of 15, 20 and 25. Still doesn't work. My log outputs are identical to Philpkeller's

Please don't take it offline. I'm having the same problem!

I'm having exactly the same problems, with a hardware set up which previously worked fine. I reinstalled from scratch after a failed update. It seems that the problem is that the "teslamate" database is not being created. I've been trying to solve this all day, with no success. Can someone...

If you go into Abington village there's a rapid charger which is more likely to be unoccupied than those at the services.

I have stayed at Seamore House in Moffat several times. Nice place, very reasonably priced and family run. There are loads of places to eat in Moffat, and a rapid charger in the public car park as you go into the town.

I've recently been on a trip towing my caravan, and I ended up unhitching it and leaving it in the car park (or caravan park), then going against the signage to get to where the chargers were. At Newport Pagnell services on the M1, the SC site is near the entrance whereas the caravan parking...

Thanks to Mr H, I now have the Hansshow motorised boot kit fitted. I bought this as a Christmas present to myself, but Covid delayed the fitting by months. Very quick and professional service - I'm pretty sure it would have taken me a full day, whereas Darren did it in two and a half hours...

Just finished update to 2021.4.11. This is the first one since 2020.48.35.5 on 22nd January. It seems that I skipped the troublesome versions. No idea how or why.

Finally got the Christmas day rebate - 76p.:( It should be £4.38, calculating from what the bill says. It was between the hours of 8am and 12 noon wasn't it?

Do you mean "Balance history"? Nope, not there. Mind you, my January bill came through on the 4th, so it will probably be on the next one.

Not had mine yet. Used the 4 hours to charge the car as well as doing the dinner.

My wife bought a new kitchen mixer tap one time. It wouldn't fit, so new sink, followed by new worktop, followed by all the other worktops."The rest of the kitchen looks old now". New oven, hob, extractor hood. New cupboard fronts and drawer unit. That damn tap ended up costing me £750!

Use both thumbs and press hard. You may still need something to prize it out after doing this.

If you want to use an NFC tag for opening the frunk, but don't fancy dismantling the frunk liner, you can put the NFC tag behind the cover for the tow hitch (it's plastic, so will work). I think Frugal Tesla Guy shows it on YouTube. I did this on mine, and it works a treat.

Screwfix have discounted prices on Karcher for today only. For example, £20 off the K4. Be quick!

As Beady said, taking the scenic route. Given where you live and all the scenic routes available, I'm surprised it was only 12 miles.

I had to log off the Tesla app and log back in after the Android 11 update. It's been fine since.

Saw three Model 3s on a trip from Derbyshire to Norfolk and back yesterday. Waved to them all - no response from any of them.

It's also how Americans pronounce it, and most of them seem to get quite annoyed with Tezz-la. Elon uses Tezz-la. Interestingly, Americans also pronounce Nissan as Neeessan....

Thanks!

Has it got anything useful?

Good point about the 2-day bus tour. I've been to Scotland for long weekends and weeks away many many times over the last 15 years, and I still don't think I've "done Scotland". Mind, I've not "done England" either, despite living here for 65 years. ;)

Saw a white Model 3 in South Normanton yesterday (twice). Personal plate G8 ???. Didn't wave, as I was on foot. ;)

1849mm, but you can fold the mirrors in to make it a bit narrower.

That's a bit steep. Try smarthomecharge.co.uk and if it's still valid, find the discount code from EVM's YouTube channel, which will give you £25 off.

Exchanged waves with the driver of a white Model S this morning, just round the corner from home.

I saw a ranger today while I was out in Derbyshire. He was in an S.

I reported the problem last night, together with a screenshot from TeslaMate and got a phone call this morning. The Tesla chap was trying to tell me that it had throttled because it was getting close to my charge target (60%). I told him that I thought it only throttled when at the higher end of...

I got 20 on Saturday. Seem to have skipped 16.3 altogether.

I ordered what is supposedly the Ford colour from eBay, and it's a bit too dark. Close, but no cigar.

Ohme

AutoGlym Active Insect Remover. I use it on the bike fairings and screens.

Switch all options off on the Charge Schedule page, then just hit the "Charge Now" button when you want it t go.

If you contact Tesla quickly they may use the referral code for you, but don't hang about.

I got YouTube NL when I tried it yesterday.

Mine works fine, and stays on. I'm on 2020.12.11.2

I did exactly the same as regards a charger. Good company to deal with, but could be a bit quicker, although it may have been the lockdown which didn't help. EV Man on YouTube has a discount code, as this is what he uses for his Model 3.

My LR updated to 2020.12.11.2 on Tuesday evening.

MG were doing it for free for 6 months: MG donates up to 100 electric cars for NHS staff use

The bit where he had to access under the rear deck was a bit of a faff, wasn't it? But all in all, a very good video.

I switched to Octopus on 3rd April. I got my first gas bill this morning, but no electric bill yet.

Richjill You were lucky with the trade-in. They didn't honour my quote from early February. On Friday, they knocked it down from £7000 to £5204, and I'm due to have the Model 3 picked up today. So, effectively 1 day's notice to find another £1796. There goes the goverment's gift of no luxury...
