I can't find it now but when I signed up it said that IO would not charge beyond the car limit and it didn't say anywhere that I should set the charge limit of the car higher than the IO limit. The call centre guy said it needed to be the other way round but couldn't say why and couldn't show me...

I don't think it is gimping the system. IO chose to charge outside of the overnight window and then billed at the higher rate. I have set the car to charge to a lower level, I am not influencing the charge time. It can only charge when it is below the car setting. I am surprised no one else is...

I am having some issues where IO decided to charge outside of the overnight window and I am being charged the day rate. In the cases I have noticed this was when it didn't use all of the overnight window and it could have been completed during the night. So although they have agreed to refund...

Coupe are more midlife crisis in my opinion, basically a saloon trying to look sporty, ideal for old people who can't embrace a real sports convertible. ;) You need a love of life and fun to drive a convertible. 90% of the cars I've owned are convertibles and my first car at 18 was an MGB. So...

Equally, when I walk on Bournemouth beach and the cyclists whizz pass a few inches from me at more than the 10mph limit, I'm sure all of those ignorant and dangerous cyclist will come up with a similar excuse for not having a number plate or insurance. Pot - kettle is the phrase that come to...

Sounded like the most sensible thing for years. Having been nearly mowed down twice and felt harassed on Bournemouth promenade by bikes using it at 4pm when bikes are prohibited between 10:00-18:00. The cyclist love to film cars and report them, it would have been great to have been able to do...

I'm happy with the Zappi, I have a few niggles, which I'm sure is my laziness to research properly. As with most things which have a lot of flexibility there are options in both the app and on the charger and sometimes it can be hard to work out what you should set. That said if you just want a...

I was asking around all the EV charger manufacturers when I knew I was moving house and was deciding if I should stick with Zappi or switch. I asked all of them including Hypervolt what made their charger better than Zappi. Hypervolt were the only company to bad mouth Zappi rather than promoting...

I have one battery (2.4kWh) which I charge in the Octopus Go on the overnight rate if you look at the graph you can see the car and the battery charging until about 3am. then at 4.30 the battery starts discharging and covers me until 8.30 ish then the sun came out and covered my most of my usage...

I went a few days back and it didn't recognise my plate and the person on the intercom said "are you in the Tesla, you should have registered your number plate with the store to get a discount", I asked if that was once and she said no it needed to be every time.

If you don't mind spending something up front (~£160) get a emonPi: emonPi Energy Monitor It will give you a great insight into how you use power unlike most smart meters. It is very easy to install just connect a CT Clamp on the main feed near the meter. You see your usage profile through the...

Leaving your card at home is risky, if your phone goes flat you can't get into the car. I recently had a situation in Sainsburys where for some reason my phone drained flat in less than 30mins with a 30% charge to start with, I couldn't pay for my shopping and had to go to the car (not the Tesla...

Don't petrol pumps require electricity to run? So double whammy for them. Searching it looks like in some parts of the US have generators so they can use pumps after hurricanes and tornadoes when the power is out.

I dropped 45% over 8 days although I turned off sentry mode part way through for about a day and then when I got the alarm alert I turned it back on. I'm only a short drive (7%) from Heathrow so as long as I'm monitoring what is going on with TeslaMate I think leaving sentry mode isn't to bad...

Looks like it will do the job, so will order it. Thanks

Yeah, I keep forgetting to try it out. Somewhere I saw something about the speed being limited and different sites mention 20, 30 70mph so wasn't sure what mine was set to. So I must test that out so I can use it, knowing what it is set to. If it is a hotel or something local then 20-30mph is...

I did the Southampton Virgin cruise and I made sure I removed the pin. One thing I meant to get after that and forgot is to get a king ring card holder as when they returned the card to me it had an elastic band with a piece of paper with the car details, they aren't geared up for card keys...

Moderator comment - this and quoted post moved to TeslaMate megathread The main TeslaMate thread is here TeslaMate [megathread] if you go to the end a few people have had issues recently and they are working on it. I think if you are working it is fine new/re-installs might need some messing...

I thought didn't seem to drain that much last holiday but that was obviously my poor memory as I've just checked and it was draining the same speed last time. Although in typical fashion got up this morning to see a message saying the alarm was triggered at 3am, so hopefully that wasn't anything...

Yeah, but as it has been online for nearly 48 hours now that is a lot of footage..... anyway I'll check tomorrow. Last time we left the car valet parked like this the guys at the car park liked doing little dances in front of the car and got upset if it didn't flash at them and waved their arms...

TeslaMate has been running 24/7 since I had the car and I'm just remote desktop connecting to the box the browser is always up and running on with all the mad dashboards for everything around the house. No changes to TeslaMate for a few weeks now. The drain started after they valet parked it...

I have disabled sentry mode just after I posted and that may have helped. As it has now been asleep about 17 mins ago. I wasn't using the Tesla app to check TeslaMate just looking at TeslaMate which is on 24/7. It must be parked in a busy area if that is what caused it.

Left the car at the official LHR valet parking and the car was according to TeslaMate driven at a reasonable speed to the Pod parking (I wondered why it was closed), since then its been parked and hasn't moved. However TeslaMate says the car is online and has lost 12% battery in 2 days. Would...

I had a much smaller issue many years ago where the cars on the lot had the radio removed for security..... oh the good old days of easily removable radios. I asked did it have the original radio and they said yes. I purchased the car but when I got the car rather than it having the nice...

One reason might be bright flashing headlights "lasers" that go off when it detects something, There are other threads about these flashes. I was staying in an AirBnB recently and their parking space was at the front of the house but narrow so you had to park parallel to the road. The first...

Isn't this where this thread started with some companies having to pay more VAT so putting the prices up. If you fill the hole left by fuel taxes disappearing by taxing all corporations more, they will only end up raising their prices, so we end up paying for it another way. The only positive is...

The mudflaps are the worst part I continually ground mine coming in and out of the drive unless I get the angle right. Going straight in or out is a guaranteed grounding but 15-20 degree approach angel and then straightening up before hitting the wall at the side seems to avoid rubbing them. So...

I find putting the wife and kids in the boot and the cases inside on the seat is far better ;). You have the dual advantage of more space and less noise! :eek: I was a bit disappointed that my daughter didn't fit in the M3 frunk, she used to fit easily in the Porsche frunk and she is 5'8" tall.

I use this method now after the first two times it caught me and realising pressing the bottom of the charge point doesn't work either at this point it became the obvious answer.

Now it is warming up me too! It is a pity the Tesla roadster won't be a real convertible. The fact Porsche only support Apple was one of the reasons I went Tesla. It irritated me on the last Porsche I had to buy an Apple phone which was only used to run Waze and sat permanently in the centre...

Sent one myself, maybe we should all raise it with him.

Maybe it needs a tweet to Elon to ask what cut of the parking fines are Tesla getting by guiding us to a honey pot, where we believe we can charge but are instead being tricked by poor signage and bad practices to incur fines beyond the charging cost

Same issue with the app as well can't get it to go back to the app after the logon, so gave up at that point.

Charging I think I have sorted my question is why do I have to enter the pin twice after I plug into charge! Nooo must go and read manual now.... see what you made me do posted off topic and didn't RTFM!

I thought I'd start with RTFM before asking on the MyEnergi forums. Life is to busy at the moment so maybe being the dumb guy who didn't read the manual is the way to go!

Congrats on the order. I have the Zappi and other than a few quirks it is working for me. Need to find a minute to ask some questions on it. I have the PV but tend to charge up at night on the Octopus Go (as mentioned we all have the referrals in our profiles), although with generation...

Third attempt at auto-lane change today, this time I finally got the "knack" and worked as smoothly as it can, thought I'd turned on mad max mode but hadn't so needed to change that to approach acceptable usage. Only one small phantom brake event. NOA slowing down to 50 mph on motorway to...

Only a concept but still no sign of a proper folding roof. With the roadster I'd expect Musk to be driving with me to take my roof off and put it back on at that price. Maybe the MG will be right when it is released, which would be nice as the first car I ever owned was an MGB.

Just thought I'd install the BP app, seems to be either get a subscription or pre-load credit to charge, unless I'm misreading it. That has to be the most retrograde way to charge for occasional use, if I don't load enough credit can I top up again? If I overload credit they sit with my credit...

OK done that, what next?? Oh just read the next line ooops

Surveys are the worst as they are usually not run on the same site as the company you trust. I try to avoid them where ever possible, as someone who enters competitions as a hobby they are one of the least effective use of time to win something in any case. I have become very aware of who is...

Pity you can only order 3! So that is one to keep and 2 to sell at £200 each on eBay and you are £10 up......:eek:

I felt the same but a couple of months back which was pre-Tesla I was shopping at Sainsburys scanned most of the food but I had some sort of phantom drain as it went from 30% to power off in 15 mins while I was there, so had to go to a till to have the food rescanned. Luckily I had a credit card...

It isn't free, haven't you purchased your share of the land yet from Mars Sale I'm planning a garage for the M3 in the west corner of my plot great views from there.

We can always do great man maths! I justified my leased Porsche on the basis it was less than my BMW and my wife's mini lease combined. So I made a saving! The maths excluded not having any equity in either on returning the cars so having to pay the deposit and then having to spend £12k on a...

Yes AB is still a possibility and still considering it. However disappointed I couldn't try EAP for a reasonable trial period 48 hours isn't enough for something like that.

Well I seemed to have been one of the overlooked few. I was actually debating if I would splash on EAP and/or Acceleration boost but with all the bad feedback on here I guess I'll skip both for now. Need to find something else to spend on so I can hit that credit card spending target!

To be fair I was going to buy an ICE car last November until someone told me all about the grants etc I could get. So for the same reason people buy things in sales they wouldn't have bought if they didn't think they were saving things, I've switched to EV. I think if I'd waited another year and...

Thanks, if they are the Churchill approved list or at least acceptable then that gives me another one to try. The next biggest concern is how long parts will take or how long it will be in the garage. Seems to be horror stories everywhere, although people tend to raise the problems and not the...

It looks to be mainly surface damage but not worth risking it failing in a few months time. My main concern is what might have happened behind the bumper but if nothings damaged there it will probably be between the headlight and if they need to replace the whole bumper as there is bit which has...
