I have in my pocket a single device which unlocks and starts my car. Sounds like my old car key 🤷🏼‍♂️

All the years of day to day driving with a regular car key, I’ve never felt the need to carry the spare key as well, in case I lost the key / battery ran out / it just packed up. I use the same reasoning with my Tesla and only take a spare if away on an extended trip etc.

I hate to say I told you so… 🤣🤣

If you manage to get Shortcuts to do it, can you let us know? I’ve had a few goes, but never got it to work (which may be down to my very limited knowledge of Shortcuts!)

You’d only get fined if you got caught ;)

I don’t really want to get into a bike v car match - they never end well and both parties are equal road users and human beings, but except insurance and helmets all those things are requirements. The fact that some cyclists choose to not obey the laws is no different to some drivers choosing...

Not sure the new Highway Code revisions can be held responsible for drivers that choose to act like d1cks

M3 on 2021.44.30.7, app just updated to 4.5.1-864. No charge data. Leased car. Seems like lease is a common denominator, is it limited to primary driver only being able to view (which would be the lease company), in the same way as we can’t order upgrades ourselves? Maybe someone with a...

Picked up a couple days before you. First service booking was cancelled after a phone call saying they didn’t have the parts and they’d be in touch ”late January”. Hadn’t heard anything by mid January, made my own service appointment which never got cancelled and the job was done. I’d suggest...

I’ve seen the same, inconsistently. Sometimes no disengage of steering without a very firm turn of the wheel, but most of the time it disengages promptly with application of indicator.

Being new, I can’t help with whether this is a change, but it’s pretty annoying that it stays zoomed out when you want to have a good view of a roundabout, for example.

As per Gaz, I think I just timed my transfer of Octopus tariff to Go very fortunately. It went to 5p/25p shortly after I started Go in September at 5/15 locked for 12 months. Total luck!

SMETS1 is ok if it’s a ‘Secure’ branded one. Go is still being advertised here although the rates have gone up recently. Now 7.5p overnight, which is a significant hike in %age terms, thought not as significant as the 100% increase over the rate I locked into in September!

I’m not convinced I *need* the data ports. I’ve no desire to plug in usb music, if I do decide in future to try out games that need a controller (again, not convinced I will), I can use the glovebox port. Having operational wireless charging is a much more important facility for my use. There‘s...

I was told when I picked up my car a few days before Christmas that I’d be phoned to install the missing bits. Took a punt on a service booking, which SC cancelled telling me they’d call in January. After seeing this thread I tried another service booking, which seems to have survived a couple...

What are the chances that Mr Jones has a new TV series coming out soon?

It does indeed load up her profile if she gets there first, but I guess it would do that even set up with separate accounts? She’d still be the one to get there first, so would activate her profile. Don’t know about the near side priority thing, not observed closely enough when we’ve approached...

We just sign in to Tesla app on wife’s phone with the same login details as my phone. Mine’s a lease, so unable to add secondary drivers. Could that be your situation too?

Thanks, so all seems good for other high consumption uses 👍🏻

Thanks Drew57, if you don’t mind expanding - do those paragraphs say that pumps, batteries, EV charging are not allowed? I‘m a very happy Octopus Go customer, but all this Intelligent stuff seems to be behind something of a smokescreen!

Yep, absolutely clear that only one car can be connected to flexibly charge outside off-peak charging. Now, about charging a second car in the fixed off-peak times, as we were discussing…

As jlz says, it would be helpful if Octopus published that so that an informed decision could be reached! As far as I can tell from their Intelligent info page, they only give you the T&Cs once you gone through the sign up process.

I’m thinking exactly that. Setting second charger as timed for the 2330-0530 standard off peak hours.

Ah. Hadn’t realised that one was controller compatible.

Thanks jlz - that looks pretty useful

I guess this becomes a moot point if they start putting power only usb-c into those delivered without them? What do we do then to use a game controller?

I’ve been considering Intelligent Octopus with the imminent arrival of our 2nd EV (non-Tesla). Having the additional cheap hours overnight for charging may negate the 10p increase in the day rate from Go. Has anyone made or found some kind of calculator where I can dump in my downloaded Octopus...

If iPhone, you can set in Settings/Notifications whether to show a preview of the notification content. Choice of Always, When Unlocked or Never. This can be set globally at the top of the list or per app by clicking that app. If you’ve got previews off, then you only get what it sounds like...

Hypervolt option a 10m cable, which may get you there if you have some leeway in locating the unit.

B Bear in mind that if you have Auto High Beam off, this will turn on your high beams, so don’t do it when you’re around other traffic!

I’m on a lease and no Drivers option here. Presumably this is other Tesla accounts that have access (which we can’t control as lease company have control), rather than driver profiles management.

I’m with you all the way Simonix. I just want to manually control the high/low beam toggle, and I don’t like the idea of having to flash my lights to access the fog lights buttons. Guess I’ll either be using fog lights less, or taking my eyes off the road to toggle them.

Done my first long-ish trip today, so can’t speak of what it was like previously, but experienced exactly the same. Having set off toward our 110 mile away destination, with a supercharger programmed in as a waypoint about 5 miles before destination, the car immediately started preparing the...

Doesn‘t appear to be the case. Picked my M3LR up on 21st, it had 2021.thirty-something. Overnight last night it updated to 2021.44.6 (after getting it pushed from service because it had been stuck for 2 days), then updated to 2021.25.2 this morning, before I’d even had chance to see 44.6. So, 2...

I’ve had it a number of times since the unit was installed a couple of months ago. I’d occasionally look into the app the have a play (didn’t have the car then, so nothing else to do!) and it would often be totally unresponsive. Reboot via the breaker always brought it back. I contacted...

For me, deposit paid to installer upon agreement to do the job at which point he ordered the unit from Hypervolt, balance paid following installation.

I presume that if you only use the charge point timer, when the car tries to precondition/preheat it has to use its battery rather than the ground power, as the charge point will not be providing power at that point?

Thats not how it worked for my sale. Final price was less than the estimated sale price, but I was happy enough as it was still over £2k more than I’d been offered by any of my local dealers or WBAC. I felt their initial estimate was optimistic, so wasn’t surprised at the result. Cazoo wouldn’t...

Ha! You’re near Glasgow, I’m near Southampton, I wonder if we have the same employer…? There were a lot of Tesla ( and Taycan) orders going in from my site with the the deals they were offering a month ago. To finish off, I got a phone call from Tesla today following up my email to confirm the...

I’m in exactly the same situation, Vonni. Salary sacrifice through Zenith, expecting March, text message yesterday morning from Tesla with VIN & reg. No information about collection. I went into my local showroom in Winchester As I was nearby, and they were able to see on the system that I...
