It’s a 12 Pro however, following a phone reboot, it now seems to be working so it may have been some bizarre Bluetooth issue. Thanks anyway. I also bought the fob so I now have 2nd backup in addition to the key card. I have noticed however that when walking away from the car that I have to...

Re passive/non-passive fobs, I saw a video which I think answers this question which is simply that if the fob has “Model 3/Y” on the bottom is an older non-passive one whereas if it has “Tesla” on the bottom it’s a newer passive one. I just got my Y a week ago and also have been frustrated by...

The installer I engaged to install my wall connector determined that the GARO PME (Type A) unit won’t fit inside the closet next to my consumer unit / breaker unit and so has ordered the external IP65-rated variant of the GARO. It will be located adjacent to the wall connector at the driveway...

Agreed and I’m always cautious of YouTube content as people love to speculate and try to join up dots, although Ryan Shaw seems more reliable than most. I’m now aware of the new paint technology that Berlin has which explains the different colour options, probably at a higher cost. Colour is...

I get the argument about the economics of RHD production and I guess it will come down to whether the cost of Berlin gearing up for RHD would more than offset the higher cost in transporting them from Shanghai. I’m not exactly “fixated” on Berlin making RHD cars for the U.K. but it’s a very...

That’s interesting about the colours as I was confused by 2 YouTube videos which talked about different pairs of new colours (I assume MSM = Mercury Silver Metallic?). It’s strange that they would introduce different colours in different continents when they’ve used the same colour options...

Conscious of the last post dating back to May but wanting to avoid creating a new post - does anyone have any updates on possible shipment of Berlin MYs to the U.K. and/or of the new colours being available? I have a LRY on order but placed it on hold until early next year in the hope of...

Thanks for your reply. It actually sounds worse than I thought in that case as I kind of expected that they would simply not publish details on the updates and you simply accept what was delivered but it sounds like there’s no consistency in what they build into their cars so it’s not a case of...

I recently ordered my Y in the U.K. and am aware of a couple of new features or enhancements that are coming down the line and would like to know at what point these will be introduced. Tesla seems to be as tight-lipped as Apple when it comes to announcing new features or updates and, since...

You may well be correct and I have an extremely low opinion of all providers. When they initially enter the market they’re good because they have to be in order to build a customer base but as soon as they’ve created their ‘revenue stream’, the quality of service drops off dramatically and...

I just checked and mine is a Secure brand (Liberty 100, to be precise), however I emailed Octopus to confirm that they can work with this model. However, I just ran a check on them via Trustpilot and almost all of the recent reviews absolutely crucify them for abysmal customer service...

That’s good to know - thanks.

Thanks VanillaAir_UK for this advice and my previous comment was obviously nonsensical! I was unfortunately pursuaded to jump into the smart meter club by my previous supplier - EON - which turned out to be a SMETS1 meter however, following the recent change to the meter setup, my current...

Many thanks for the quick replies everyone. Sounds like I'll be switching to Octopus GO, although I appreciate what someone said about supplier deals being a moving picture. For the charger, I'm looking at both Zappi and HyperVolt, which I assume are SMETS2 but will check this. Again, great...

I’m looking to lease or purchase a M3 in the coming months and am currently installing the cabling and breaker capacity to support the charger/connector. I thought I should also review options on the best electricity suppliers that provide support for EV charging, whether in the form of...

Thanks for the replies. I’ll mull over Zappi and HyperVolt a little longer as I’m in no rush. I like the look of the HyperVolt although it sounds the Zappi has a bigger installed base due to it’s been on the market longer so maybe it’s a more proven product. Customer support could be the...

I’m planning to buy/lease a M3 towards the end of the year and currently upgrading the circuit breaker box and running the required cabling to the outside wall where the charger will be located In readiness. I learned that the U.K. OZEV grant isn’t available for the Tesla Wall Connector so I’ve...
