What made me choose a Tesla (despite the company being run by the planet's biggest gobshite)? The performance and handling being breathtaking; the efficiency and range being exceptional; and the supercharger network being unparalleled. I'd been running a Zoe for 4 years as our main car, and...

Agreed. I've done that in the past when the Bluetooth flakes out, and it does get me inside the car quickly so I can retoggle Bluetooth out of the rain. Of course until I do the BT restart , I'lI also have to tap the phone near the cupholders to start the car, and remember that the car won't...

Same issue here on Android. My workaround is to toggle the phone's Bluetooth off and then back on. I agree it's irritating - particularly if it's raining and you're trying to get in quickly! Do please update if you contact support.

Exactly. So you can't rely entirely on navigation to work out where to stop to recharge when you're planning a journey that involves a ferry - or a stretch on a train either. And because the summary information is so poor and flashes up only briefly, you may not realise that the calculations are...

I knew on the outward trip to Ireland from the UK that something was wrong with the calculation of the expected mileage and predicted charge levels, but this screenshot on the way back makes it clear. The M3 expects to use 20% covering 73 miles while sat on the car deck of the ferry. Which is...

There's clearly something happening, which could be as simple as a local refresh of the screen. I say that because my experience was similar to yours (also without a reboot) but even quicker: - got into the car in the garage after the update, and release note on screen doesn't mention...

I tend to do this too, but maybe we don't need to for 2022.28.1 ...

I noticed the auto setting for reculation just now and went to see what the manual might say about it - nothing! Does anyone know what causes it to recirculate or revert to fresh air? I've only ever used it manually to exclude ICE vehicle fumes or road work dust. Mind you, the way it currently...

Have you tried press and hold? I thought the button on my home charger plug had stopped working. Now I think it's down to the car being a little absent, as holding the button eventually gets its attention

I understood EAP provides "Auto Lane Change", which sounds like something very different to the manual lane change that we've been discussing (simply changing lane manually without cancelling TACC and automatically resuming Auto Steer just like, for example, a 2017 Golf or Fiat e500 ... without...

Completely agree. Feels like Tesla is well off the pace right now in this regard. I used to think that until someone on this forum told me otherwise. I then realised that AP is super sensitive to my steering wheel input when turning to the right, so cancels lane-assist with almost imperceptible...

When I bought my Tesla 9 months ago I thought FSD might well be an option I'd be interested in down the line. Now I have serious doubts about that. And the reason is that the basic AP doesn't match the experience described by @Drew57 (and @goRt several years ago). Perhaps Tesla could deliver...

When you say you've binned the app, did you cancel the smart charging setup you'd created on ev.energy before you deleted the app? Or did you cancel your account with them, or cancel the associated Tesla token? Because I suspect that unless you did one of these things, then your ev.energy...

You'll need a separate account for your wife's Kona if you decide to persevere with the ev.energy app. Here's their support article on the subject:

I'm not sure that's possible since the Project EV app is controlling the charge point, and the ev.energy app is controlling the Tesla's demand for charging. I wonder if your issue might be related to a charge setting on your Tesla. Let me explain why I say that. If you plug in your Tesla to...

Hi, That's how I've used the ev.energy app (only a couple of times) in the past, and what I understood @Xdama was talking about earlier

Hi, I see from the 25 points that came through on my account (and I trust yours as well!) that you have given it a go. How did you find it?

Hi, it might be worth looking at the ev.energy app which I've been using successfully with my 3LR since it arrived last June. My charger is dumb, so I wanted to find a way to restrict charging to the same Octopus Go times as you. Not only can I make sure I charge at 5p per kWh, but the app...

Only speculation of course, but that would make sense.

"How odd!" I thought, but I decided to give it a go - with just the same results! Within a few minutes 2022.4.5 began downloading

Or perhaps the update had already downloaded over WiFi before I left home? Could that have happened without me realising? So when I pressed the button to update on the dashboard the update had already been downloaded?

My update came over LTE yesterday (while parked in the Peak District for a fabulous walk!) I noticed for the first time that Sentry Mode Live Camera Access seems to have arrived in the UK. Maybe it was there before in 2021.44.25.2 but if so, I missed it.

When you press the wiper button on the left stalk to do a single wipe then the control pops up on the screen. What if the left scroll button then able to change the wiper speed from off through to auto, just while the pop up was on screen? I'd find this much easier to do than have to touch the...

Sadly it's proven not to be the case. There must have been a quirk on the first day, but since then I'm back to the previous situation: when I plug in for a scheduled charge, the dash and app show a max charge rate of 16A, but when the charging starts around 00:30 the rate is the full 30A. So...

Looks like the latest update on my car (2021.40.6) has changed the behaviour back to the way it used to be. I'm sure we weren't the only ones to highlight the glitch in the previous upgrade to Tesla.

Good to hear the problem is solved for you. For clarity in case my previous post was confusing, the problem is solved for me too. What hasn't been resolved is why it went wrong in the first place and why it now works. Just one small addition to the amazing, dazzling, myriad mysteries of the...

Well, after extensive testing at home, with the support of an engineer at Tesla Leeds, Rob, analysing the logs, my car is charging at the full rate offered by the charger when it starts it's scheduled charge. Probably it had been doing that anyway, but since I'd been using a workaround to the...

Hi @lookatbowen Thanks for the info. Glad to hear things are sorted for you. Today I did some extensive testing at home, texting Rob at Tesla Leeds each time I did a step. He's going to examine the logs tomorrow and we'll see where we go from there. However, it's clear from today's work that...

I decided to follow your example and report the issue to Tesla. I've an appointment scheduled for Tuesday but since the service centre is an hour away I'm hoping we can discuss it (and perhaps even fix it) remotely. In the meantime, my workaround is to get back into the car after plugging the...

Do let us know how you get on. My hunch is it's a bug introduced by 2021.40 which will need another upgrade to fix, but fingers crossed I'm wrong.

Hi, my M3LR updated to 21.40 a few days back. Until then, timed charging had worked just fine at 30a, but now, on plugging in, the app and dashboard report 16a max. And the car charges at 16a unless I increase the charge rate on the app when the car is actually charging (on Octopus Go, so that's...

Thanks for pointing out this kit @Cardo. It arrived from evChargeking in 5 days (including the weekend) and was simple enough to fit. Inside the existing plug was a resistor between wires connected to the earth and proximity terminals. That has to be cut off, and then I soldered the switch wires...

Hi, I got the 2021.24.5 update last night, but as far as I could tell, the charge port behaviour this morning was just the same as it was before the update - I still needed to use the app or dashboard screen to unlock the charge port before the cable could be removed. So I've not cancelled my...

Thanks - this kit looks much better for me. Much appreciated

Hi, Would you say this plug looks like it has enough space inside to install the button kit? Thanks

Hi, One other thing I discovered - my butt is really good at blocking Bluetooth! If my phone is in the rear pocket of my jeans, unlocking can be a bit patchy, even with the correct Android settings. However, it's a simple problem to overcome - I just take the phone out of my pocket before trying...

Thanks @BitJam I'm on Android 9 and had the same issues. For me the key part was to disable the Optimize battery usage for Bluetooth exactly as you outlined. Working fine now without the need to do anything at all with the phone.

I was surprised with the timing of the registration of my car. It arrived on the Glovis Sun which docked on Monday evening, but on Monday morning I received a text saying my final invoice was ready for payment - and the registration details appeared on that invoice. Is it possible that...

And thanks from me too. It's been exciting and informative following Glovis Sun around the globe, past some scary parts of the world. It's also brought the carriage of international trade to life. Thanks again. Only 10 more sleeps ...

Same here. UK reservation made May 7th with VIN and delivery date confirmed. But now missing in the ether. Let's stay calm ... they'll be back in the morning no doubt

👍 Thanks for making the time to feed our obsession! And I've learnt much more about global shipping at the same time

I'm following the Glovis Sun which is carrying my LR/VIN*236* due for home delivery on 11 June. I was wondering @Mr Miserable if there are any webcams covering the Suez canal? I've Googled but not found anything

Thanks for all the info - very interesting and informative to follow. Might that be the reason why there's a difference between your ETA for when the Glovis Sun might reach Zeebrugge and the port schedule?

Perhaps the agent didn't really mean "all the M3LR's" since the agent I spoke to yesterday about my M3LR said it was on the Glovis Sun, which left a little while ago. Or perhaps by the "June boat" he meant the Glovis Sun. Or maybe "arrive by mid June" refers to the date of delivery to you...
