All good, helpful and interesting points thanks guys. I cannot save the quote on the Saga site as suggested so will have to make a decision whether to buy that one and cancel during the cooling off period by the end of the day today, or to rely on Churchill still being the cheapest as they have...

Just had a conversation with Churchill regarding my upcoming renewal on 19/12. Current insurance was £659.35 - 2022 Model Y LR, 14 Years protected NCB, 6k miles per year, SDP only, 60 years old sole driver, garaged in Rugby. That was 100% increase at last renewal so I am trying to keep...

Well done, that's certainly a better deal than I could get for my Comp Plus cover also with protected NCB and no points or convictions despite my best efforts. I have declared less than 8k miles too but have no one I can add as additional driver. I live in town but garaged off a gated...

There seems no logic to insurance prices of recent times. At renewal in Dec 21 cost was £388 for M3LR, and on changing to MYLR in March I got £38 refund, followed by a further £9 refund on adding my personal plate in September! At renewal in Dec 22 cheapest was again Churchill but cost now...

I have Abstract Ocean supplied ones as well, and have noticed no such problems on either of these versions of the software.

I had a letter advising of the impending change a while ago. Mine was registered originally (01/03/22) as a Saloon but I have changed to my personal reg number recently (01/09/22) and the replacement V5C has been issued with the new reg number and body code corrected to MPV.

Very strange. This is from a 1/3/22 delivery MY:

Updates coming thick and fast at the moment - I've only had 2022.16.3 for 2 days and now got 2022.20.5 installing!

No problem, hopefully they might have it back in stock by the time you need it. When I bought mine it seemed good value for a 10m cable.

I'm on my second Tesla, a Model Y registered 1st March and previously had a Fremont built 3LR and have been very pleased with the quality and finish of both of them, with no complaints whatsoever. I had a small issue with the Model 3 in that the nearside wing camera had stopped working by the...

Nice bright, well lit Trunk lights there Ernest, and the light in the lower compartment is a great idea. I'm interested to know if yours is the later lithium '12V' (15V) battery.

I've been using this one for over 18 months and have been very pleased with it, but unfortunately it's out of stock at present.

In automotive terms, a '4 pin' relay is a simple on/off switch or make/break contact which is all that's required here, whereas a '5 pin' relay is a changeover contact relay. It might also be worth bearing in mind that the later cars using the Lithium battery on the '12V' side will have a...

Unfortunately there is, but there shouldn't be as the way each is driven hugely affects the other. Driving Trucks is all about anticipation and being prepared and leaving room for the mistakes and impatience of others, and that applies whether those 'others' are driving cars or indeed other...

I used to drive a 44t truck loaded with steel for a living, completing many thousands of safe miles and deliveries, and with this experience I would respectfully suggest that if you need the extreme performance of an unrestricted Tesla to "get into a gap" on the motorway, then that gap that...

This is the solution I use. It's a GYC 04PF (4 doors) from doghealth.co.uk and at present costs £75.95. Shown here without the included but optional divider. I've attached foam and tape at the top rear corners of the cage and covered the corresponding piece of the tailgate either side of the...

The Government regulations come into effect on June 30, and are intended to help manage the strain on the National Grid with thousands of electric cars charging at once. These set out minimum standards for all home and workplace chargepoints sold in England, Scotland and Wales from that date...

I think this post is key to this issue and is probably the most important consideration here. As someone who spent over 30 years working in the transport industry at all levels up to qualified transport manager and company owner, I would think the cost of insurance for a group 50 vehicle , not...

Great find! Thanks for posting.

I am aware that there may be a limit on daily streaming of this video but can't imagine I'm anywhere near that if it's at a useful level. I will certainly bear in mind that the only sure way to stop this use is by closing the app and re-opening it. I only discovered that this didn't work over...

Using iOS App Version 4.8.1-1032 and MYLR on 2022.12.3.2, I'm finding that I can no longer view Sentry Live via mobile data, but works ok over wifi. Using another iphone which until yesterday had app version 4.2 everything worked fine on that phone on both wifi and cellular, but now having...

I think you're correct Ernest, it's all about the amount of current drawn, but what the critical figure is, I'm not sure. The spec for the Neon LED Strip I used is 9W/m and I think around the frunk is just short of 3m. Lithium battery voltage seems to be about 15V so by calculation (I haven't...

Hi Ernest, Pin 85 and 86 are not polarity sensitive but what you quote may be best practice, I'm not sure? Many years ago I worked in an old electro-mechanical telephone exchange - I'm not an auto-electrician!! It really makes no difference in this instance as they're just either side of the...

No problem. I had a M3LR prior to my MY so been following Tesla things for some time but knowing I wouldn't keep the 3 once the Y became available (Prefer a hatch than boot!)I was just studying but not buying these things! That gave both versions time to develop to where they are now. I think...

Recommendations following reviews by Tesla Raj and Frugal Tesla Guy YouTube Channels mainly, plus I liked the step by step installation video provided by Raymond Wu, the founder of EVOffer, formerly TeslaOffer. Frugal Tesla Guy initially had the Hansshow kit fitted to his car but then removed...

I used this relay from Halfords and I'm using a 3m length of this LED Neon Strip, which I had to cut about 30cm off to fit the full rim of the frunk. I've also changed the fuse on the relay to 4A which is sufficient to power the LED. I've taken my power feed from the power tap wire provided in...

I have cured the issue of my non functioning frunk button after installing the LED strip to the EVOffer Frunk kit by using an old fashioned relay to switch the LED strip, using the grey wire to the existing frunk button to switch the relay. Everything is now working as it should. My research...

Thanks very much for that, very helpful. I will take a look and see how things compare and try some testing when I get time. What you say is true of my refusal to use Amazon, it can be frustrating but I have my principles and am also happy to put the necessary extra time in now that I'm retired.

Ok, thanks for your reply, I will perhaps take a further look at this when I have a little more time, not that it seems to be a big issue as apart from the frunk button no longer closing the frunk, everything else seems to be working fine. Do Hansshow give any indication where they suggest...

I've just completed my installation of this on my Model Y, but I also have the 'EVOffer' (formerly TeslaOffer) motorised frunk kit. Other difference is that I used an 'Atom' LED Neon strip as it's against my religion to purchase ANYTHING from Amazon! However I am interested to know if anyone...
