    App commands keep failing

    I have this from time to time on my Samsung S23. I make sure I always force close the app when I'm done, and start it afresh. From time to time, I do have to reboot the phone. I've given up moaning about it and just accept that the app is a bit $hit. And yes, everything is latest versions.

    UK Aug 23 Insurance Recommendations

    Renewal time for me on my M3 LR. Was with Peugeot (last years forum favourite), who are now Stellantixs, for £559, 12 yrs no claims, 15k miles a year. Live in a small country village in Cambridgeshire. Renewal price is a staggering £1,121! GoCompare coming in at £1,190. Welcome to rip-off...

    Wipers

    Wait until it is a clear evening and you are traveling in a direction with the moon ahead. FOD = Moon in Tesla software language that must be wiped away. 🤡

    Whats your favourite and least favourite supercharger and why?

    As a frequent traveller up the East Coast between Cambridgeshire & Edinburgh, I would say: Best: Grantham as new and lots of them. But only a few miles from home so barely use. Worst: Adderstone (remote and at a truck stop), Scotch Corner (old chargers and basic facilities at the hotel) &...

    Tesla just called me to say they will have Highland in next week.

    I was in getting a climate control service at Northamption today. They got a delivery with 3 M3 Highlands around 9am. Staff were a bit excited. They were unloading 1 car from the transporter when I left around 9.15.

    Wipers

    Still utter tosh. Driving eastwards last night on my way home from work around 7pm and a brillant clear moonlit sky. Wipers on 'auto' with 1 tone cruise control on and constant 'dry wiping' for 8 miles with the only visible cause being the moon. Road turns and I'm now travelling North...

    Tesla M3 Tripping Home Charger 40A Fuse

    Hi all, I've a SYNC charger also and my tesla keeps on 'tripping' the fuse at our consumer unit. Now what is interesting is that when we plug in my wives non tesla EV it charges fine, evertime. My M3 trips out a couple times a day. All are recent installs by certified professionals. Wife and...

    ... and the glitch of the day is ...

    - window wipers 'dry wiping' 30 minutes into my commute for no apparant reason. Smearing salt all over the windscreen. Dry day, clear windscreen, no reason for them to suddenly 'go for it'. Never happened again. Cruise Control (1 click down) activated.

    Charging from socket permanently

    I spent the first 10 months using the 13A charger whilst we were waiting to move house (no point installing a 32A charger to leave it behind!). So long as you don't have any cables coiling up you will be fine :)

    Tesla Super Charger conspiracy

    A swing and a miss with that response. Top trolling though and thank you for your worthwhile and insightful post. Now if only this thread was around spotting a new trend emerging around our cars telling us to charge more than needed instead of not getting the manufacturers stated achievable...

    Tesla Super Charger conspiracy

    An update from my earlier post. Mrs McX arrived back from her 330 miles journey from Edinburgh after setting off with 100% charge and being told by the car to supercharge TWICE. She arrived home with 130 miles worth of charge. She followed the onscreen guidance to the letter and to the second...

    Tesla Super Charger conspiracy

    So Mrs McX has been up in Edinburgh. She charged last night to 100% in our M3 LR to make the 330 miles drive home. Departed this morning and the car advised her that to complete the journey she needed to charge at Adderstone. Fair enough. Enroute from Adderston to home she got another alert...

    [UK] 2022.44

    Yesterday morning I put the passenger window down to get the condensation off. It wouldn't go back up. After around 5 attempts with the driver side controls it went up 90%, stopped then went back down all by itself - almost as if detecting a blockage. It took me around 20 attempts to get the...

    very much this. my evening commute last night TACC seemed to think the moon is a blot on the windscreen and attempted with thei highest degree of vigour to remove it. In the process smudging the windscreen with grit and crap and to make matters worse, my windscreen skooshers were frozen! Had to...

    Model 3 windscreen cracked in impossible place

    For cracked windscreen, message Tesla via the App to book an appointment and tell them it is for windscreen replacement and ask for a quote. Then report via usual route i.e. Autoglass then tell them Tesla glass is in such short supply, they will book appointment regardless but it will get pushed...

    Tesco chargers now charging (money as well as your car)

    I've a Tesco less than 5min walk away from work and I do admit to using the free charging however I didn't leave it there all day like some of the people from the local business park (looking at you VW/Porsche garage workers with your electric company cars). Went by this morning and 3 of 4...

    Long delay replacing Model 3 Windscreen

    Keep on at your insurance companies. I may have gotten a call handler in a kind mood but I didn't have to push hard. I had already arranged a SC appointment through the App. I forwarded that quote onto my insurance (directline) and within a couple of minutes on hold it was approved for £703...

    Had mine replaced on the 26th. However the 3rd party Tesla Northamption got in dropped the old screen on its way out and damaged the car. Now going back in to get the paintwork repaired.

    Autopilot and slip roads

    I've also found that sometimes my M3 wants to take a slip road all by itself, and other times it dosen't. At each occasion, I want to stay on the motorway and not leave it. As the OP said, it can be a bit violent and if left unchecked I would imagine seeing me exit the motorway! It appears to...

    Long delay replacing Model 3 Windscreen

    I picked up a chip at the weekend which has morphed into a large crack. Had an appointment at Bedford Autoglass to get windscreen replaced but they've just called to cancel as no glass coming in. Sounds like I'm going to be joining the queue to get this done. How is this even acceptable in...

    Speed signs not detected by Teslas?

    Had my M3 for 6 months and it is a frequent annoyance of mine that it refuses to detect speed signs in roadworks and overhead gantries. If the card had its way, I would be hurtling through roadworks at 70mph instead of 40 or 50mph depending on the situation. For the money paid, it really is a...

    Wiki Restricted UK Supercharger sites - parking restrictions / registering / pay to park etc

    Had the misfortune of using Washington recently also. It really is dire. Just me and a local taxi there when I used it but it is a bleak place. The signage is poor as you said and I guessed lucky with the turn into it. Ferrybridge is 10x better.

    Thanks buddy. I'm going from Cambridgeshire to Edinburgh, A1 is the best route. Didn't know Ferrybridge was active? Range in the first 'part' of the trip isn't a problem, its making sure I get to Edinburgh with enough left as the superchargers are out by the airport at the other side of the...

    Phantom braking to be investigated

    Good because the current system is p!sh. I've in the region of 3-4 encounters with this 'phantom breaking' each week during my commute. 1100 mile round trip to Aberdeen and back last week and I gave up counting once I reached 20 incidents on the way up. It really is poor.

    Travelled from Cambridge so everything was up to temps and preheated etc. Doing journey back now from Edinburgh supercharger where I got 110kW to 53kW at Scotch Corner again. 50min wait until I can continue my journey to Grantham with battery starting at 17%. Its not the best really.

    Adderston supercharger, 3 not working (2A, B & C). Camt get in touch with Tesla to report it because they are only open office hours. Only car here and managing a meagre 60kW. Stopped earlier at a busy Scotch Corner and only managed 50kW. This is my first long trip in a tesla and far from...

    Rear view camera stuttering

    So I had an issue with the rear camera stuttering mid reverse in an area I'm not familiar with. As a result, I bumped into the edge of a wall causing damage. A very long shot this, but can I claim against Tesla to have the damage repaired?

    Phantom braking getting some unwanted attention (at last!)

    About time too! I'm on the M1 every day for 40 miles total on my commute and have on average 2-3 phantom braking episodes a week. About time this got some serious press and hopefully resolved. It is my per hate about my M3. And 'cover the accelarator' suggestions every time I overtake a lorry...

    LR picked up on Thursday and shocking mileage per charge

    12% battery drop at the car just sitting parked does not sound right. I got my LR 2 weeks ago and between 2am Sunday morning when I parked up to leaving for work this morning at around 7.45am, I witnessed 1 mile of range drop off when parked.

    Does anyone know if there are plans for a Supercharger in East Lothian or the East side of Edinburgh? Having to travel to the airport is not the greatest if your journey only takes you to the east of the Capital city of Scotland.

    Great news. Wetherby services were always running out of charge space - and that was when I was just an interested 'observor'. Will these be generic chargers or superchargers?
