Can't imagine this will be great news for the brand. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/02/volvo-looks-to-hand-over-control-of-polestar-to-geely/

Really weird one this, wish i'd been home because the other half was a lot less impressed and shooed the lady off without really much discussion but she reckoned that Google had directed her to our house to charge her car? Far as I can tell we are not listed on google maps for anything like...

I've been using Spotify since I got the car over 2 years ago now, but I just changed phone contracts and it comes with bundled Apple music so I figured, save me £10 on spotify and just switch to apple right? Its....terrible.... Songs take ages to load, if they load at all. As soon as I leave...

Doesn't seem like we have a UK centric post about this yet and obviously its a different animal for us vs the USA because, well they actually have something tangible they can use. The TL;DR is that Elon has said for the next few weeks (Q3) you can order and have delivered a new Tesla while...

Don't worry...this won't be like all the other posts :rolleyes: Mine actually has a fault. Has been throwing this message up for about a week, even with a full bottle. Booked in for service, no quibble, warranty repair. £13 parts. £165 labour? Assuming that is the minimum they would charge out...

New one for me! On the A13 heading west. Literally just come off the A130 and the car slightly slowed for a brief second with a flash of a message saying, Toll Booth Detected. Now....I'd love to know where it is getting its information from. Because if it is the cameras then god knows what it...

Well, RIP the back of my driver seat. Was transporting a piece of wood home that fitted in the back perfectly! Until I forgot that the seat would move as soon as I pressed the brake and didn't get to the controls quick enough to stop it.... Any suggestions? Would that be repairable by a pro...

Bought a keyfob before I took delivery 2 years ago because it seemed more "natural" to me. Plus I wanted easy access to the boot and bonnet release buttons. Being completely honest I doubt i've used it all that much, but it is reassuring having it as a backup should I lose my phone/wallet and...

Long story short, got a chip last week. 3rd in like 2 months. Roads right now are so bad. Booked a chip repair but over the weekend it spread into a crack and needs replacing. Autoglass quoted me 22nd of April as the first available date, not because of a lack of screens, but because of a...

Article popped up in my feed this morning. Tesla have had to remove a bunch of features to comply with federal regulations, namely windows closing on lock, closing windows via the app and windows closing in car wash mode. They also can't close the windows using the door switches until the brake...

So forgive me as i've just finished a 15 hour shift and my brain is half dead. But I am almost positive there has been multiple discussions about pillar cameras fogging up and getting condensation and questions asked why are they not heated....and that you need to crank the heating in the car to...

So, let the judgement commence. I fitted an EVOffer powered frunk kit today, all seemed to go swimmingly. The only real connections to the car are an earth (which will be my first point of call tomorrow I think) and a tap off the 12v battery. All went great. Bonnet opening and closing like a...

Apologies if already talked about on here, but as you can imagine, searching for "Bonnet" doesn't really get me anywhere. I don't really use public charging but a friend of mine asked me about this and I didn't have any answers for him so wanted to see if anybody here has any experience of...

I've got an EV Charge King Cable, not tried it with the standard one yet (because I keep forgetting, although I will do now as it seems to have gotten worse) but very often when plugging the cable in to my car, it makes a slight crackling sound, it reminds me very much of when you plug a 3 pin...

Moderation comment - thread renamed to avoid confusion from "Looking for advice on what route to take after being backed into...." Hey guys, so my head is kind of swimming right now and I'm so angry I could burst, so apologies if this makes less sense than it should. Hour ago I got a car alarm...

So....bit of an odd one. Had my car 8 months or so and never had this problem, walk away door lock is enabled and windows have always closed fully when it does so. I often leave the drivers window open fully to give me more room to get out the car. I also have not driven the car in about 18...

Hey folks, So just got back from a lovely week by the coast, and found this little bit of damage to one of my alloys. I've never seen damage like this to a wheel. Could it be just a really unlucky stone chip? Also, incidentally....I had that same wheel refurbished 2 weeks ago after a...

I've always read these kind of threads with interest so feel like its only fair I put mine, although it'll be a fairly short one. Took my model 3 LR from Basildon, Essex down to the Hoburn Naish Holiday Park, Barton On Sea (Near Christchurch) for a weeks holiday. Charged up to 100% and...

Hey guys, tried searching but might be using the wrong words. I have the Second Gen Pucks from Abstract Ocean and recently bought the road hero "kit" that is supposedly designed for model 3's... Except, it isn't. The scissor jack they include, although pretty sturdy and did manage to lift my...

So, I want to change my email address. I've done it in as many places as I can find, and my app login now uses the new address, but my "your payment is now due" emails are still going to the old email as well as their updates, like the recent one about the customer service change. Is there...

So, as I'm sure many of us are aware, its hot as hell today and we are all melting. I fired up my car's AC earlier shortly before popping down the shops, and it was reading as 67 degrees! After about 10 minutes we got in the car and it was bareable, but the screen was literally too hot to...

Just went to my local Tesco to get some shopping, as per normal I headed for the chargers because, hey its free and if I walk out of there with an extra 5-10% charge then the trip has basically cost me nothing. But, as per bloody usual, I couldn't get on them. 4 chargers, only 1 car that could...

Been meaning to ask for a while. Pretty sure my climate control temps are fine, I leave it at 20 and its quite comfortable. Possibly even a bit warm. I used to keep my old car at 22 so I'm happy with that. What surprises me, is occasions like now. Its 10am. I wake up, its sunny but not...

So when I finally got my car back from the SC, it had been updated with the latest software apparently. Since then I've noticed something odd, if I leave it on charge and set it at say 95%. It'll charge to that, then it drops to 94 about an hour later (probably sentry mode) and starts charging...

Just got an email From Elon apparently, My name is Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla. To support cryptocurrency transactions I am giving away large amounts of cryptocurrency. As you might have read in the news, we bought large amounts of cryptocurrency with my company Tesla. Trying to show how grateful...

My courtesy car has started acting weird, in so much as as soon as I go to plug the charger in, it makes a sound "that almost sounds like a short?" but also its putting the locking pin out way too early, before I even get the plug past the lip of the charger. I end up having to manually unlock...

So, i've got a 90D as a courtesy car while my 2021 model 3 is being repaired. Never had a Tesla before so I only know the speeds that I get from my 3. At work we have a piddly 4kw charger. But I know that if I stick my car on there and go out and do a 10 hour shift, it will be full when I get...

So, noticed it tonight when I pulled over to finish off a phone call. The best way I can describe it is when something like a heavy truck drives past your house, and you get that brief second where everything vibrates and there's a very low bass tone...... Yeah worst description ever I know...

So, I purchased a nice short charging cable because I didn't want to have the standard long one running along the floor, getting dirty, potential trip hazard, etc etc. However, My nice short cable now sits against the back bumper of the car. I imagine over time, with wind moving the cable, its...

Moderator comment - thread merged "Abstract Ocean Litigation Liquidation Sale" and "Abstract Ocean - Cease & Desist From Tesla - Litigation Sale" Just received an email from AO. Unfortunately Tesla have finally dropped the Ban Hammer on them and they are no longer allowed to sell anything that...

I can't find anyone else talking about this so don't know if its just normal. But when I wake up in the morning and switch my car climate control on to get it nice and toasty, I walk out the front door to be greeted by this. Is it normal? It seems very loud to me?

As title really. Anyone else have problems with the app? I can't access any of the settings on my samsung s20+ - like setting times for scheduled charging etc. Just had to get the boy to install it on his Huawei and set it up for me. Love the charger otherwise, but the app is soooo bad!

So, I've always been pretty lazy when it comes to my cars and ended up paying fortunes to garages that more often than not, ripped me off. Want to take a different approach with my Tesla! Which I intend to keep for a long time and therefore want to maintain as well as I possibly can. Been...

Hey guys, So with my last 3 new cars, I've always had the dealer throw in 3 or 5 years worth of scuff and scratch insurance for free (I know I'm sure I paid for it in a roundabout way) but i've always quite liked the reassurance of having it there. I remember once my other half leant something...

So, i am thinking of making a kind of check off sheet for the big day, so that my excitement doesn't outweigh my sensible side, plus I might not look for things that perhaps I should. Has anyone done this? Or got any good suggestions? I know the obvious things like panel gaps, lights, cameras...

Bit of a grim question I know but these days it's a genuine concern. I'm confident that my car won't be stolen off my driveway due to the security features and pin to drive etc. But what would happen if someone car jacked you with the "engine running" so to speak? Assuming your phone/key is...

So I know this is totally 100% subjective to personal tastes, but I am going back and forwards between the two and I just can't make my mind 100% up. My favourite car that I've ever owned was a Toyota Rav 4 in Red, with the black accents I thought it looked amazing. I got overtaken by a 2021...

Hey guys, Tried a little search and i've found some examples of what people can charge, but do we actually know what the maximum phone size would be for the new charging pads? With the samsung event a few days away I'm due for an upgrade and just want to make sure I don't choose a phone that...
