    AC charge added in app, is this pre or post inverter?

    Does anyone have a reference to what the charge added in the app/car is? I suspect this is DC so post inverter? If so, is the real useage of the car is actually 10% more due to the inverter losses?

    Octopus "Failed To Trigger Bump Charge".

    Yes but sometimes you need too or like me, I get Octopus power UP sessions of free electric so I'm furiously hitting that bump button at the beginning of the session.

    Octopus "Failed To Trigger Bump Charge".

    I get this but only between the time of plugging in and Octopus setting the charging plan. Can be 5mins to 30mins for me. Also after it has done that bit and is ready, with my android app, you press bump charge, it gives you that error but if you go somewhere else in the app like the home button...

    Model 3 lease return

    I guess it's the luck of the draw? I'm on 107k miles with M3LR. Only used service for boot alignment and rear tail lights foging up.

    Returning Model 3 back to Lease Company. Help?

    I returned a non Tesla car back to lease. Use the BVRLA guide above it's really useful. Take pictures of everything that might be questioned. In my experience if it's being collected at your home it's the driver who collects inspects it. I had a ding which I sort of managed to pull out with hot...

    MOT Bedford or MK

    I like hearing them squirm with excuses not to do MOTs on tesla. When they refuse you can request a 'refusal to test' decision in writing which they then have to upload to the MOT system.

    [UK] 2023.44

    I found with some updates the light height would go back to 'normal'. 'normal' being dazzling everyone! I usually have to do 2 clicks down on both sides to stop being flashed by every on coming car. (And yes the calibration was done with an empty boot and on a level surface. I can't guarantee...

    Are the Hankook tyres magic?

    Only the rears? Obviously not driving hard enough to engage the front motor 😜

    MYLR all season tyres

    All they tyre shops around me refuse to fit anything that's not TO rated. So many discussions with shop managers, all say no because they will be liable if something went wrong.

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    Are you sure? I had my 3 phase uprated to 100a per phase from 60a and nothing changed. I can't find anything in the T's and C's with regards to this with Octopus, have you a link to this?

    [uk specific] Software 2023.32

    Not sure if this is specific to this SW version but I've just witnessed some really dangerous driving so pressed the icon to save the clip. Took out the SSD and the playback ends as I pressed save which is useless as it doesn't see the aftermath caused by his driving. Thinking it was a one off...

    [UK specific] Software Update 2023.26

    I'm also experiencing very quiet indicators at below 50mph, above that they are fine. Tesla need to realise the my M3 is not as quiet as the newer ones!

    Creaking noise

    Absolutely, I'm on 100k now and 3 years old, all of the joints suddenly creaked front, back, top bottom. Must of been the heat drying them all out. Greased them all with the needle method. All silent now.

    LV insurance hike - quick sense check

    This will be a big factor when I come to replace mine. Like you say, it's wiping out the cost savings of driving an EV.

    LV insurance hike - quick sense check

    I guess there will be a lot of people who collected in Sept now getting quotes. Boom who I was with at £550 have just said a flat no to insure. LV I can't get on the website at the moment, might be because I'm in France at the moment. Direct line £1800.00 Admiral beast at the moment at £888.00...

    Pretty sure he's not repressing any minorities directly. He too may have a 100 year plan but he's not published it.

    Is Tesla owned by the Chinese state like SIAC Motor Corp? Sorry didn't realise....

    Sorry, I've made a promise never to buy Chinese as I wouldn't drive something made by people who don't value human rights.

    My Airport Parking Experience

    Also check you've no linked apps waking the car up randomly. I think a podpoint one I used to have that I gave access to for scheduled charging was waking the car up periodically. Like everyone says , sentry off and overheat protection off. I also hit the power off button too, not sure how much...

    Model Y Tyres, difference between Tesla rated and standard?

    I know, Ive currently got non T0 e-primacy fitted!

    Model Y Tyres, difference between Tesla rated and standard?

    Yeah, but getting non T0 tyres fitted is next to impossible. Today I went to get 4 Hankook ventus ion s fitted at Just Tyres and they refused to fit them.

    Model Y Tyres, difference between Tesla rated and standard?

    I fitted e-primacy to my LRM3 47k miles ago and they are not T01 rated. https://www.michelin.co.uk/auto/advice/choose-tyres/marked-tyres Is there a difference between a tyre that has been approved by a car manufacturer and a type-approved tyre? All tyres must comply with the legislation of...

    Summer is coming (and better real world range)

    I do and always will keep my car plugged in every day with the limit set to 80%. Has worked well for the 2.5 years so far. Only charge to 100% when I know I'm doing a big journey the following day.

    Summer is coming (and better real world range)

    Over 82k miles I've, according to the trip screen, averaged 250 w/mile in my '20 LR M3. Winter is usually 300 w/mi plus and summer right down to 180w/mi. The perfect temp is around 20°C I found so you have low air density and also no need for AC etc.

    Model 3 LR Tyres - Michelin E PRIMACY XL, PILOT SPORT 4 T0 or Others

    Fitted e-primacy about 18 months ago. No noticeable noise increase. Did notice they feel softer in the corners than the PS4. Has the same average power consumption too. got 34k miles from the OE PS4 and currently on 43k miles on the e-primacy. pics attached of the trip which I reset in new tyres...

    Guys with sentry issues, if you haven't already I'd get yourself an external USB SSD drive rather than a USB flash or SD card. It helps with file corruption and also has better access time for playback.

    [UK] 2022.40

    Thought I'd read on the release notes it looks at what the SC can deliver and then precondition if it's over a certain KWH. I.e. if you going to a busy old SC site where they are at capacity then charging at 60kwh doesn't need to waste energy warming the battery up. I used to do this when I was...

    I see this version combined with the new version of the app says there is a new control of opening the doors in case of frozen handles. Anyone seen this on the app yet? I've android can someone with apple check?

    [UK] 2022.28.X

    Found another feature of this release, I have to select my profile at least twice for the steering wheel to extend towards me to it's correct position. Each press of my profile gives me just a little bit 😂

    Updated this week and think I've skipped a version where the radar is now off. Using Autopilot at night now puts the lights on auto high beam? Was this introduced in the last version?

    That time of year again.... insurance renewal

    Just had my renewal from Churchill and it's increased by £150 for no reason whatsoever, nothing has happened or changed my end. Anyone else noticed this? Done a couple of comparison searches and found one £250 cheaper but it's with 'Boom' who I've never heard of before. Anyone with them?

    Model 3 AWD/LR - new tyres just purchased NOV 2021 (FYI)

    Managed to get 35k from the originals on my M3LR. Switched to the Michelin ePrimacy. No extra noise but feel softer than the OE's.

    Autopilot when indicating

    Yes, as above I've found the indicator needs to be fully on and not just tapped (for a lane change 🤔) to to allow less pressure to move from the lane you are in.

    Just to add, performing the seat calibration screws your saved positions up! Also if you're not very flexible I'd get out of the seat while it performs it 🤣🤣

    Tesla app not working

    It might be your broadband ISP, I was having issues with other sites too giving authentication errors. I'm with Vodafone broadband. When I left the house it picked up mobile data and started working.
