Hi all, Did anyone else get stung by a PCN due to the total closure of the exit road from Heston Westbound services and Tesla Supercharger on 5th Jan around 00:20 am? We were forced to use the camera controlled back exit so were served with a PCN. The only alternative would have been an...

Had some unexpected scheduling behaviour. Anyone else seen this? Posting here in case it helps someone else in future. Scheduled a software update at the end of scheduled charging last night. The software update started and completed at the scheduled time but no charging happened at all. The...

Ideally I'd like to find a 3-pin charger for our second EV that has a built-in timer so that we can restrict charging to off-peak hours. Does such a thing exist? If we convert the socket to a 16A 'commando' socket, are there any chargers that include a timer? If not perhaps we're better off...

A stop with a chance to run around really helps with those long trips with children... I'll start with one good recommendation. Hopwood park Birmingham has nice playground for all ages and fenced seating area by small lake right next to the superchargers. Leicester Fosse park has climbing...

I got a UMC mobile connector '3-pin granny charger' included with a March 2021 Model 3 LR. Only came with 3-pin cable, not commando plug or European adapters. Did Tesla stop including UMC as standard equipment in the UK at some point? I'm looking at a December 2020 car that doesn't include one...

Current car is a 2021 M3 LR with heat pump. Based in the UK so all these cars are right hand drive and costs in UK £. Looking for a cheap as possible reliable low mileage second EV in UK (4-5K miles per year). The trouble is cheap EVs just feel so poor value in comparison with spending a little...

I was looking at used Model S adverts and spotted one with a photo of the trip computer showing a last trip between 10 and 20 miles using around 900kWh/mile. Is that a sign that the last person to test drive the car was severely testing the acceleration or an indication of likely faults? Oops...

I'm seeing quite a few used Model S adverts in the UK advertised as something like the following Model S E 85D. Does the E actually have any meaning? E for electric (duh!)? E for executive seats? Or something else? Sorry if it's a FAQ but it's not that easy to search for.

Is it possible for Tesla EVs to shutdown failed battery modules and continue driving without problems with reduced range (and possibly power)? If not is it possible this capability could be done by servicing or future software updates? From reading reports on HV battery pack failures it sounds...

I'm used to inflating tyres to the recommended pressure when cold. On my M3 L3 I find that when doing this the ride quality feels pretty poised when starting to drive. Once on the road for a few minutes and the tyres have warmed up and the TPMS shows the pressures as up about 5% from cold (44...

Looking for a garage to do tyre rotations and keep an eye on the brakes and general condition of suspension, tracking etc. in the Huddersfield/Holmfirth area. I've had some poor experiences with the local independent garage (killed the engine fuse fox of previous car while changing 12v...

To start with, I'm not asking this question to attack Teslas or EVs in general. I love my model 3 and wouldn't change it for anything (well, perhaps a new model Y...) How long do EV main battery packs really last before they fail entirely? I'm talking about battery failure making the vehicle...

Hi all, We've had a Model 3 2021 Long Range with Aero wheels for coming up to 6 months. First EV. Really loving it and my wife now really enjoys driving (she used to avoid it when we had a Nissan Qashqai). Finally installed a Zappi chargepoint around a week ago. The main downside is that...
