    2 EV Household - what else you got?

    Last Saturday, we could have picked it up on Thursday :cool: The model and colour my missus was after was in the MG showroom. They did say any other car would be next year at the earliest. Have you ordered directly from MG?

    2 EV Household - what else you got?

    My missus picked up her MG ZS EV yesterday so along with my M3 this makes us a zero ICE 2 EV household. This got me thinking, how many others have 2 EVs? and what else you got?

    Boot strut recall

    I don't believe its a firmware issue. The boot is too heavy for the 1 powered strut especially in the UK when you can have added weight from ice, snow, rain water, the wind, or even parking on hilly ground. I've parked on slight inclines where the strut struggles to hold the boot up.

    Supercharging temperature sensor bug/fault?

    I stopped at Scotch Corner Friday lunch time and noticed my outside temp rose to around 18 degrees after setting off back down the A1 before it fell back down to 7degrees

    Sounds like they just regurgitate the same blurb for each event. Says the same against each 3/Y. You’d think it would be good for them to open the Crimple Hall before this event. Otherwise it’s a pretty long drive to the next nearest at Scotch Corner or middle of Leeds.

    How’d you get on? Tesla alloys were clearly not designed for the Yorkshire coast and their narrow cobbled streets!

    Any news on Harrogate yet? Unbelievable that pictures posted Nov21 and this place isn't live yet. I'll be literally passing it a couple of times over the next week and don't want to chance making it to Leeds with ~1% again!

    At the end of the day if the location is constantly busy with all chargers full except 1 that's never used they must know something was wrong with it. Or even in quieter locations if there is 1 or 2 that are never used then presumably rangers / technicians that call in every so often can check...

    am I over worrying about Charging / SuC network

    I wonder if there is a possible business opportunity here? Or an extension of the current meet & greet parking? Drop your car off with them, they park it, wait until the superchargers are quieter (or use 22kw chargers) to fill it up, when you come back your battery is full and away you go?

    Buying Salary Sacrifice Car After Term

    I have never done it but surely offering you the opportunity to buy it at less than market value is then a taxable benefit?

    Perhaps going forward existing v2 sites located on main transport routes could be upgraded to v3 (or v4) sites and the hardware transferred to locations where speed isn't as necessary.

    Anyone else notice the rear camera picture quality getting worse due to this problem?

    Rear view camera stuttering

    I’ve noticed a significant drop in the picture quality of the rear camera now (see attachment). This is after wiping it clean. The image also cuts off (goes black) for a couple of seconds when opening the boot.

    Rear view camera stuttering

    There is a dashcam viewer app on the screen. Videos from all dashcams (front, rear, driver and passenger side) are recorded to a USB memory stick located in the glove compartment. The glove compartment can be locked requiring a pin to open.

    Rear view camera stuttering

    My stuttering seems to have got even worse today. I can be reverting then all of a sudden the image will jump and I’ll have moved 3/4 meters closer to the object and because it’s not a smooth image its hard to tell how fast your actually reversing towards an object!

    Was this you? Man exposes lack of charging points for e-cars in Bath I have said the same thing about York. However, I find that superfast charging points nearer to home aren't really necessary because its more convenient and cheaper to charge at home. As long as they are located at regular...

    First bit of snow this morning...

    One thing no one has pointed out is a M3 LR weighs just under 2 ton and that’s with no passengers or cargo. I presume everyone above is comparing against a lighter ICE car. Trying to get 2+ ton up or go down an icy or snowy slope is never going to be easy!

    Assuming you have AWD then still comparing a 4 door executive saloon to a presumed 4x4 SUV Jeep then the Jeep will always come out top in snow conditions.

    Not of they used Starlink. I wouldn't be surprised if in 10-20 years time Tesla, Apple etc all used there own satellite networks rather than having to pay third parties

    V11 - what’s your verdict?

    With regards to the blind spot camera..... how many people still look behind them when reversing? Or do you solely rely on the cameras?

    Pod Point Installation Survey Question

    If this is anywhere near the wall in which your hoping to install your podpoint take the necessary pictures. If is your fuse board any better positioned? Are you in an old house? If so are your water pipes bonded (earthed)? If not this may cause a problem.

    M3 Gone Wrong

    The car seemed to be fine to drive. I’m not sure about all of the safety features. The parking sensors didn’t appear to work so I doubt collision avoidance would have worked. I’m too a little disappointed by the speed (or lack of) from Tesla support. They didn’t even give me much advice over...
