    @ItsBlacknWhite some good news today, the threat of court has worked and the third parties insurance company has paid out, so hopefully it will be the same for you! Keep chasing me, it has taken Churchill 6 months......

    Sentry mode - Thank you! Merc hit the car & drove off

    Not quite so black and white when it comes to the insurance companies. We had ours hit in a supermarket car park, reg is on full display. The third parties insurance company said they would not accept liability until they heard from their driver, which of course he just doesn't respond. 6 months...

    Octopus go - Still available?

    I think because I signed up in October and it has taken quite a while to make the meter smart again I have different rates. Octopus Go September 2021 v2 This tariff ends on 20th January 2023

    Octopus go - Still available?

    I have just switched over, these are the rates as of today: I believe you can lock into the newer rates before so you don't get hit even harder with the inevitable rise coming in April

    Octopus go - Still available?

    I had an email from Octopus this morning, Landis+Gyr SMETS1 meters have now been migrated over to the DCC so Octopus will be able to make connections to them now :D

    [UK] 2021.44.x

    The first 50% is the downloading of the update itself, 50 - 100% will be the car performing checksum validation to make sure the update is valid before offering the install

    Weird notifications

    It sounds like your phones push notification identifier is still registered somewhere, you could try deleting and re-installing the app, that should force it to generate a new identifier for you, that should stop the notifications from it.

    Number plates

    I took my retention certificate with me when I picked up the car, the service centre (Stockport) were more than happy to make me up some plates for my private reg, they did it free of charge too 😁

    Elon Musk UK visit - potential factory?

    The electric is also made on the same line. Just as with the VW Golf, GTE/e-golf are made on the same line as fossil powered vehicles.

    Why is Tesla asking for payment for SC'ing when I have free SC miles left?

    I had 2000 miles, I was under the impression that if you got a referral it extended them by 6months, but they both expired at the 6 month point

    Elon Musk UK visit - potential factory?

    I agree too, but it isn’t very green shipping cars from the other side of the world here

    Green plates UK

    So today I saw a 21 plate petrol powered car with the green plate attached, I think it was a hybrid, so looks like dealers are shoving them on anything that has some form of electric propulsion

    This is because of the metallic paint, they have to spray into the other panels otherwise it sticks out like a sore thumb due to different paint batches etc

    Boot trim alignment and sticker mark issues

    They tried to clean it off of mine, but pulling the sticker off had pulled part of vinyl off, so they are having to replace the whole door card

    Premium connectivity [service provider] changing

    I believe this is because there is no way for lease customers to pay for premium connectivity at the moment, and the leasing companies don’t have the ability to facilitate payments for it

    Directline won't insure car as not registered yet.

    Odd, they applied it for me back in September

    Directline won't insure car as not registered yet.

    Make sure you ask them to add AutoPilot as a modification, it will give you 5% off your premium

    Anyone used DIY Ceramic Costing

    You are right! I did mine upon arrival and nothing came off of the bodywork at all!

    Anyone used DIY Ceramic Costing

    I would recommend the AutoGlym, very easy product to work with! The Mrs's car needs protecting, so I think I will try Caramics on hers as a comparison!

    Anyone used DIY Ceramic Costing

    I ended up using AutoGlym HD ceramic on the paintwork, very easy to apply and remove. It is very hard to get it wrong, so if it over cures then it is easy to remove. I did use AutoFinesse Caramics for the glass, easy to apply with the wipes, and has some crazy beading!

    What do you miss about your previous car?

    I had a Megane GT before the Tesla, and tbh, I don’t miss it at all. I don’t miss the engine noise either! The way the Tesla accelerates is addictive, and never gets old. For a heavy car it still handles well through the corners. I don’t think you will regret it!

    I found this on the Karcher store the other day: https://www.kaercher.com/uk/home-garden/mobile-cleaning/handheld-cleaner/khb-5-multi-jet-13281030.html It has quite a high pressure so should be able to handle a snow lance

    [UK] 2020.40.x

    4 digits can be brute forced, as the car doesn’t restrict you if you put in the pin wrong too many times: I get the above won’t be done by an opportunist thief but the longer the pin the better.

    I didn't know that thanks! Lets see how close it gets to the claimed 12 months protection! If not, I will give Gtechniq a try next time.

    Fellow car cleaning obsessives...

    I picked up my car last Friday, so of course my first couple of days was spent cleaning and protecting it! I tried out a couple of products new to me, AutoGlym UHD Ceramic Coating and Auto Finesse Caramics Glass. I know both of them aren't true ceramic coatings like gtechniq, but I don't...

    Picked up this morning, car had a slight issue with the rear bumper, but straight out with the tools and fixed it. Alignments all good, now time for me to clean and coat the car. Very happy! Carly dealt with me today at Stockport, she was ace!

    With some of the negative posts being posted, I thought I would share my friends positive experience. Everything spot on with the pick up (Stockport) and the car is now in for it's ceramic coatings. No paint defects and panel alignment is good.
