    Referral miles - transfer to new car?

    Hi I referred a friend for a new Model Y and have just received the credits in the Tesla app. I’d like to exchange some of the credits for the 3000 Supercharger miles. However my own lease expires early next year - are the miles associated with my account and transferable to my next car...

    Polestar 2 - Courtesy Car

    Apropos of nothing: someone hit my Model 3 while parked a month ago and I've been given a Polestar 2 as a courtesy car. I was quite excited to receive it, as by all accounts the reviews suggest it is a real competitor to the Model 3. Having driven it a fair bit, I just don't get it. I'm...

    Vehicle may not restart

    Had a bit of a worrying weekend away with my M3. Setting out on Friday I have various error messages saying “Power was limited” and limiting the car to 58mph. It also said getting out of the car and back in might help, which it did. The errors eventually stopped. Then on the way back today...

    Locked out with dog in the car

    Just had a slightly concerning situation with my M3. Charging on a public chargepoint while waiting for my wife, I ended the charge and as I have done hundreds of times, left my phone in the car, disconnected the charge cable and put the charge cable in the frunk. The car always seems to lock...

    LTNs [low traffic neighbourhood] and Tesla Navigation

    I absolutely don’t want this to be about the merits of LTNs themselves. Rather it is more how the new spate of LTNs is massively highlighting how out of date the Tesla maps currently are in the UK. I don’t mind LTNs as long as I can navigate around them, but the Tesla simply doesn’t recognise...

    South Mimms [supercharger parking]

    Anyone else noticed increasing number of Tesla drivers parking outside of the South Mimms Supercharger area, in the public car park that backs onto the chargers, and charging from the wrong side? Chaos today, because it becomes completely impossible to judge if a charger is free or not...

    Audio Favourites & Spotify interaction

    Noticed yesterday that the favourite audio sources section of my Model 3 has been polluted with a bunch of junk from Spotify (e.g. saved/liked playlists and albums from Spotify itself). It really defeats the object of specifically saving favourites in the car and has made quickly navigating to...

    Keyed!

    Pics attached. I guess it is always something of a risk having no off-street parking, but still massively frustrating! No idea who “IONNA” is! Anyone with any experience getting a keyed Tesla repaired? Will any bodyshop do it or should I ask Tesla?

    Phone Key Not Accepted

    Had a strange one yesterday. I was playing around with NFC tags to open the Frunk, which involved an iOS Shortcut script using the Tesla API. I probably did make repeated instructions to open the Frunk in a short period of time, some of which worked and some didn’t. Anyway a few hours later...

    Great Portable Router for M3

    Hi all Thought I'd share my solution for the Model 3's patchy wifi reception. For background: I only have on-street parking but do have a front garden and live on the second floor, meaning at a minimum there is 10m distance from the nearest part of my flat to the car, and sometimes much more...

    Curb Rash

    I know there’s various threads on this but I thought I’d get a UK perspective. What is it with the M3s rims that make them so susceptible to curb scrapes!? First two days of ownership and I’ve done both sides. Very minor, but where I’d normally expect to be able to ‘feel’ the curb gently with...

    Source London

    Anyone got much experience with Source London as a charging network? A lot of the chat online seems to be from a few years ago. I don't have off street parking so my charging strategy is going to be a mix of Superchargers when travelling out of London (to my in-laws every week or two) and local...
