AP is definitely getting worse. It has now started slamming on the brakes every time I’m on the inside motorway lane and drive past the chevrons on the road as you pass an exit slip road. I’ve had the car three and a half years and AP has been dangerous for the whole time.

I’m not a financial advisor, but here are my thoughts… When it comes to renewal for the mortgage, you could look to extend the mortgage term by another five or ten years. This will reduce your monthly payments, but will increase the cost of the mortgage interest across the years. When you are...

I had it happen to me in Milton Keynes a few years back. I appealed and sent them the ticket. The fine was overturned. It’s worth a challeng.

I’m on my third now and I’m leaving it broken. I’ll get if fixed for one final time when I’m getting rid of the car in 12 months time.

I’ve got a 2020 M3P. It’s been no trouble at all. 3 years of trouble free motoring.

Interesting that more people are reporting this issue now. When I first raised this, there were very few responses and on another thread I was told I was careless and it was a non- issue. Hopefully more people post their experiences if this is a real thing and Tesla might take note.

Thanks. I’ll have a look back and see how the heck I managed to get a £16 discount.

Does anyone know how the Octopus ”Power Hour” energy saving sessions are actually calculated? I’ve taken part in all of them, but the results just seem totally random. I’ve had sessions where we’ve switched off as much as we can and gone out, only to be told that we didn’t manage to save...

Ah, I see, in the car app! I stopped all of my car app scheduling as I thought it messed up IO. In that case, I’ll switch it back on as before. Thanks.

It says “In the schedule menu in the app set off peak charge on and off peak end time to 5:30” I don’t get any of those options in the app? I can only set the charge limit (100%) and the ‘ready by time’, all contained under the Devices tab of the app.

I’m new to IO having previously been on Go for the last few years. Last night at around 8pm, I dropped my daughter at the gym, plugged the car in and went inside. 10 minutes later I noticed the smart meter flashing red and it was pulling over 7 kWh. I never had a schedule from Octopus and...

Zap map, ABRP, Podpoint are all I’ve ever used. I Supercharge where possible and mostly charge at home.

I’m also in Bristol, so await responses with interest. With day rates at 46p KWh now, the business case for solar is very strong.

While I agree it must have an element of carelessness,, to break once is careless, to break twice is very careless, to break three times suggests there must be an issue with its design or location. It literally lasts no more than a few weeks each time. It is always the passenger side, so I...

It gets knocked by people’s feet as they get in the car. Very poor design. I did think about building a protective enclosure, but have decided to leave it broken and get it repaired for one last time just before I get rid of the car next year.

Yep, I got it repaired. It happened AGAIN within 3 weeks of the repair. I’ve given up now, it’s staying broken.

Or 2-3 miles per KWh if you’ve got an M3P 😁

Oh, be still my beating heart… What a beautiful car. That is going to continue to be a great investment for you. A genuine classic. I’m jealous. 😁

Got 44.25.3 The cards showing efficiency are back!

Yep. You’re all good. Drive it, plug it in when at home. Job done. It really is that simple.

I had this issue a few days ago. I think the software update I got last night has stopped it 2022.40.9.

I get 5p a mile. I now get the train everywhere at more cost and more inconvenience.

Interestingly, I have a pyrocanthus in a pot near my charger, though not as close as you. It is on a north facing wall and struggles, particularly in winter. As a previous poster mentioned, growing plants in pots is very difficult and they take a lot of looking after. In the summer, I have to...

I’ve got a 2020 M3P and your figures are well within expectations given the conditions and time of year. Generally, I get 20 miles for every 10% of battery and less in poor weather.

Happened to me last week several times. Updated the app and it seems ok so far.

Electrickery

Yep. Years ago, when for the umpteenth time, it nearly killed me by switching off the lights mid way through a fast corner in a dark country Lane, I switched it off and haven’t used it since. Likewise, I rarely use cruise control or AP as it terrifies my passengers with phantom braking. My...

Just fill it up and get on with life. Like your washer fluid reservoir, it’s really not that deep.

Looks fabulous 👍🏻

Definitely download A Better Route Planner and download ZapMap. Plan your routes in ABRP and see where chargers are (and if they are likely to be working) in ZapMap. Don’t forget to add a credit card to your Tesla account too. Once you’ve done that, supercharging just works when you plug it in...

Unless I’m missing something, the price of electric isn’t solely tied to the gas price, but is significantly affected by it owing to the huge increases in gas price? The cheaper generation from other sources is still happening, but there isn’t enough to offset the gas rises? At least that’s...

As around 50% of UK electric is generated by burning gas (well, it was a few years back), you can’t separate the two prices.

Definitely new.

It all depends on how much you can shift your electric consumptoon to within the off peak period. The new Go peak rate is 31p a KWh, over double your current rate. You’d need to really max out your off peak four hour slot to get benefit from the 7.5p KWh rate. If it were me, I’d probably stick...

I have to faff around much more to find anything. I wanted to save dashcam footage yesterday, but couldn’t work out how. It used to be a button at the top of the screen that was constantly available. In the end I had to hit the horn, but this should not be necessary. The bloke in front thought I...

My wife is the same. Hates the launch, while I love it. However, when she is driving and someone fancies a go at the traffic light grand prix, she is more than happy. It does feel very different when you are sat in the passenger seat, I must admit.

I think 20 inch wheels without aero caps also has a lot to do with it. Even if I drive my P extra carefully, it doesn’t get me anywhere near 240 miles range. Like you say, I bought a P because I wanted the look and the power. I wouldn’t buy a V8 muscle car and then complain about the mp, so as...

You definitely will not get 240 miles comfortably from an M3P. As other state, at best, I only ever get 20 miles for each 10% of battery In my M3P over 2 years of ownership. The LR is more efficient and you may well manage 240 miles in that. I think SR and P are similar on range. The SR may...

Got a P and have no regrets. I love it. If you want a sports car and can put with all of the associated down sides, it’s a great car. If comfort, range and value for money are more important, the LR may well be the one for you.

I’m guessing that you don’t own one then Glyn? This is utter nonsense I’m afraid. If you get an off peak tariff, they can save you a lot and by helping you to understand which appliances are costing you the most money, they help you economise. Charging at 5p KWh has saved me plenty, as does...

£50 for a whistle! At that price, they can, erm… whistle.

I’m surprised it hasn’t previously featured more heavily in the media. Hopefully more people start to report on it and Tesla will finally do something about it.

Same here!

The issue I have is that I want to see my efficiency live, not historically. I plan a drive and know what efficiency I’m expecting to hit in order to make a charger. As efficiency is quite variable, it was great to see if I was on target or going to need to slow right down. This is particularly...

I would love this back. Used it all the time, but now impossible to use while driving and using Nav. Likewise tyre pressures. I got a pressure warning the other day and nearly hit someone else whilst messing around trying to find the tyre pressures to see if I had picked up a nail (again).

Then to you, sir, I would like to extend a sincere thank you. A tough job, with very little thanks given. You guys keep this country running and I’m not sure you ever get the praise that you deserve. 👍🏻

I think valet mode just stops someone driving it fast. To save battery, turn Sentry off and don’t keep checking the app to see how much charge you have left as it wakes the car and uses battery. If left asleep, the car should lose no more than one or two percent a day.

Can’t see anything about this release on the internet. Looks like you’ve got this one early. I’m interested to know what’s in it… 👍🏻🙂

Any idea what is in this release?

I think you might be right. If the lease company sell it now, they’ll be quids in. That is reflected in the new quote.
