    Model 3 Highland warning icon

    For what it's worth, I finally got the 2024.2 firmware update yesterday and the warning triangle has gone. I suspect that the version it came with (2023.44.30.9) was buggy on the M3H - I also had issues with regularly losing my Tesla profile, which seem to have gone away.

    Model 3 Highland warning icon

    Thanks for the replies - at least it's not just my M3 😌 It took me a few drives to work out I could turn off the warning for the rest of the drive. I guess this implementation is about as good as possible, given the legislation. Displaying a warning triangle for no reason seems a little daft, tho'

    Model 3 Highland warning icon

    I took delivery of my M3H on Friday - in general, it's fantastic. I do however have this odd warning icon on the top right of the speed limit sign: According to the manual, this signifies a system failure, so I opened a service request - Tesla say "Please note this stays visible regardless...

    App nor octopus IO not waking up model 3

    I'm not having any real issues waking my M3 using the app - Octopus IO seems to be completely broken though. The car starts charging at 23:30 as soon as my Podpoint is enabled (via homeassistant automation). IO will notice and stop the car from charging if not in a slot, but is then unable to...

    Auto Wipers Triggered by Specific Types of Street Lights

    Same issue for me driving out of London on the M4 at night - I can't engage TACC until the lighted part of the motorway ends. I drive this regularly on the way home from football games and it is always the same.

    So… Highland is out…

    I'd be worried about turning the auto emergency options off - they saved my bacon on the M5: I'd moved out to pass a junction and was moving back into the LH lane and didn't spot the Audi driver doing 100 on the slip road and about to undertake me. It's pretty impressive when it works as...

    Buyer beware

    I'm not so sure about that... I have a 2020 Model 3 LR that I'm looking to replace in the next few months. I went for a test drive in a BMW i4 last week and was really looking forward to these fabled BMW standards, but to be honest the inside finish was pretty tacky - really plastic-y, the...

    [GUIDE] Automations for Octopus Intelligent with Home Assistant

    I don't think there's anything there that would prevent (say) Teslamate from accessing the fleet APIs. It would be more tricky to set up though, as each installation would have to register as a new API "application" with Tesla. I can't see any pricing information for after the free period ends...

    [GUIDE] Automations for Octopus Intelligent with Home Assistant

    Thanks for this - some good ideas here and integrations I hadn't noticed before. BottleCapDave's Octopus integration provides much more info than the IO integration I was using previously. It seems though, that the octopus_energy_intelligent_dispatching sensor is only on during Octopus' IO...

    Charging for terraced houses

    There's an unfinished new development that I drive past in Swindon, that has these Connected Kerb chargers in each parking space outside the houses. Seems like a good idea. It seems like, in cities at least, the push is for all new builds to be medium density housing (ie no drives), so...

    Car not always unlocking

    I've upgraded android phones recently - from a Samsung M51 to A52s. The old M51 used to work flawlessly, but I'm having the same issues as you describe with the new phone... I've checked app, bluetooth & NFC settings between the two and they're the same. My working theory is that my new...

    Depending on which supercharger, it's not just a few pence. I stopped at the Heathrow chargers on my way back to Bath from London last night, because it was 20p kWh. The nav wanted me to charge at Membury where it's 37p kWh - nearly double.

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    I guess this isn't so much a supercharger issue as an infrastructure one. Bath's an old city so off-street parking is scarce and expensive. That's maybe less of an issue for Tesla owners, but it's massive issue for more general EV take-up. Especially with our council being so anti-car and...

    Exactly this - we've a holiday home in Mounts Bay that has no parking, so we're in the area a lot. This'll save me visiting the 3 or 4 GeniePoints it takes to find one that works, and is just about comfortable LR range from Bath so there'll be no need to charge on the way.

    PodPoint reviews

    Mine is fine now, but mine was installed a few days before I picked up my M3 so wasn't able to test it before the engineer left. Turns out that the engineer had attached the "fuse saver" to the wrong cable in my cabinet, so it just tripped out every time I tried to use it. Covid then hit and...

    Who would prefer Waze Navigation?

    Can someone drive your car if unlocked remotely?

    Pod-point. Managed to get it installed the week before lock-down, however the installer fitted the "fuse saver" to the wrong cable in my meter cabinet, which means the pod-point switches itself off as soon as the charger hits full current. Haven't been able to get an engineer out to fix it...

    New Owner - Supercharger £££

    This sounds quite likely - I picked my car up at 12:00 with roughly 85% charge. I supercharged at around 8pm after having run it down a bit, so they'd have had plenty of time to do the "paperwork".
