Brilliant, have been trying to ask proplates themselves with little joy. I got worried because the BNMA website says they consider most vinyl plates would probably NOT pass some of the new more stringent tests and therefore illegal. If proplates are say they are compliant then shouldn't be any...

For anyone who's ordered from proplates... do they carry the "BSAU145e" certification mark? This is now a legal requirement for plates after September 2021.

Mine is getting PPF this week. I'm also with Admiral and had read previously they were pretty chilled about it so good to get confirmation.

"ultra" PPFs like Suntek Ultra also has hydro-whatsit layers so water will bead off easier - hence no need to ceramic over the top. The term "ceramic" itself seems like a marketing invention - yes it contains Silicon Dioxide, but thats like saying I'm an ocean because I contain water. What...

Unless they could prove the PPF was material to the claim I think their limit would be to NOT pay for damage caused to the PPF unless the T&C's say that you cant apply cosmetic stickers or other external protection products to the car. I know Admiral class PPF as cosmetic.

I've been mulling it over and have booked to get a full body PPF in Suntek ultra which doesnt need ceramic coatings over the top. My main reason is that my previous car (Outlander phev) was covered in scratches from bushes along narrow country lanes. With the MY being just that bid wider I...

322 miles

Now they're here did anyone with an ODB doofer and the right app measure the exact useable/max battery size? I'm still hearing people say 75kWh and I've found the % displays in the car dont seem to tally that well with the number of kWh shown in the app because numbers are rounded up or down...

Now, if you happen to be an Iron Maiden fan and a Tesla owner! 🤟

These guys (Unique Tesla charging cables - evChargeking) have a tethered cable replacement with the magic button... You know it would be a simple fix for tesla to provide an option to not lock the charge port when the car is at home. I know some will scream about pulling out a cable while the...

I tried asking elsewhere but only got guesses for answers... so here's my question: In the energy app, why would the "instant range" prediction be different depending on whether the 5, 15 or 30 mile graph is being displayed? The manual says the instant prediction takes the last few consumption...

Well of course. However, the instant range value really should be the same regardless of which graph is currently being displayed because if you watch it while driving it updates every few seconds... so what factors would affect the range based on the last few seconds of averaged consumption...

Driving down to Cornwall this afternoon and LTE disappeared about 3pm'ish. New MY - thought it was just a duff signal until I realised my phone was fine. Haven't re-checked to know if its come back.

It's nothing more than a guess.. albeit not totally unreasonable. It depends what Tesla mean by a data-point. In the world of telemetry devices record a constant stream of "raw" data at some period, eg 100 milli-sec, 1 meter, whatever. Normally raw sampling is done at a high rate and then...

Well no actually... I did a couple of searches and didn't have any luck. But, as it happens I don't think anyone properly answered the question and quite a few didnt appear to understand the question!

But what you're suggesting there is actually just an average over 2, 5, 10, 15 or 30 miles. There's going to be a simple answer to this.. it's just totally non-obvious but by definition an instant value isn't a really an instant value if it depends on a previous average.

I think you've missed the point. Its possible to get THREE different instant predictions depending on 5, 15 or 30 miles. That's not how instant is supposed to work. The 5/15/30 buttons should be greyed out for instant. Here's the other two "instant" range predictions! Which one are you...

Model Y 2022.4.5.3 Average range shows the predicted range based on last 5, 15 or 30 mile average Wh/mile consumption. So far so good. The Instant range calculation also gives different predictions for 5, 15 or 30 miles (which are all themselves different to Average). This is bonkers as 5,15...

very cool

Anyone actually have these installed yet? I'm struggling to find any reviews or comments about them.

Was joking. I've put TE59 LAY on mine.

Just 4 days from falling off the 71-plate depreciation cliff (if you believe some).. but I've averted that disaster by putting a 59 plate on mine 🤣

Got my MY on Saturday.. totally in love with it. I thought long and hard last year because with 4860's imminent (as it then seemed) was I buying the last of the "old tech"? As it turns out 4860's are still MIA and probably won't hit these shores until the MYP gets them (early Berlin MYPs...

Gjeebs in the US is worth a look. He's done some daft stuff but also has experience of changing wheel sizes, replacement suspension and long trips. Interesting sense of humour. Richard Symons probably best of the UK based for vast knowledge and experience.

No, it was these "Perfect fit" All Weather & All Season Waterproof 3D Floor Mats for Tesla Model 3 20

Thats what I figured too so removed the carpets, but it didnt help so put them back for added sound insulation! Tesery say they are a "perfect" fit, so I've sent them photos to suggest this is not the case. Am now thinking maybe better to stick with carpets and just replace them if they wear out.

Got my Tesery 3D mats today. Rear mat is perfect. Fronts are, well OK. The fit isn't quite as good as I'd have liked just in front of the seats but might be "par for the course" - will send pics to Tesery as ask if they're supposed to fit better than this. In other news my V5C came so new...

I have a different WiFi connectivity problem with my 2022 MY v11 S/W Car just doesn’t see available networks most of the time. By putting my tp-link deco on an extension lead outside the house it connected fine and worked. I moved the tpkink back indoors and it continued to work.. until I...

Yes, never let it be said Tesla isn't the company that keeps on giving!

Oh go on then.. this is what I took on Saturday. Fleet services was fun... Well there was some free stuff I s'pose...

82 kWh for the Y5LD according to EU data on another thread

Why? There are now 1000s here in Blighty!

I think Richard Symons posted something somewhere.. (Tesla Owners Club I think) to the effect they thought it was ~79kWh from their charging stats.

Did your V5C come through already or is it possible to assign the private plate from the registration confirmation PDF on the tesla account?

Best opt for what you like the look of as you’ll be looking at it every day. If you buy what you love… it’s easier to forgive any marginal downsides. I’ve driven 19’s and 20’s and felt there was a clear difference. So if comfort is very important then I’d suggest the 19’s might be more...

Moisture in the door pillar. Should clear within an hour or two according to Tesla ranger.

They stole my idea! I was jokingly going to list them for £50 each 🤣

What I would say is that it was nice to have a decent first drive home rather just a short hop from Bluewater or somewhere. 19’s are awesome in the flesh. Totally love the Gemini covers which DO NOT look like cheap covers. 20’s look ok too. I think it might depend whether you silver or black...

Not to me. Grabbed some free cans of water and a Jaffa cup cake.

Yes that’s right… it was the email they sent me and I mentioned in here and on Facebook and it seemed to stick. Guilty as charged m’lud

Just back from Southampton collection and VERY happy with ride even with tyre pressures at 47psi. I had a test drive on 20’s which I felt were too hard/fidgety for me personally, so very relieved about how better the ride feels - I stress this is purely personal and your mileage will vary! BTW...

For some reason I dont get SMS from Tesla about my order anymore. But (hopefully) collecting tomorrow and my account shows it was registered with DVLA today. New POR_XXXXXX attachment.

Jeez thats awful I cant imagine how crap that must feel. Im picking up the same, also at 8am. Heard nothing so hope still OK.

..and mine VEB also 8am 🤣

Personally I hate dislike black wheels. I think the silver 19’s they put on M3’s are super sexy but I REALLY like the Gemini wheel covers. Don’t be swayed by others. In the words of Brian “you are all individuals” 🤣

In europe (at least some parts of it) when you ask for a grid connection you pay the same rate regardless of location. A bit like how BT charge the same for an install regardless of how much cable they use. In the UK we pay (typically) by how much cable they have to lay. For HV its about £1M/km...

After much consideration, did I order an MY because of SuC? No, not entirely. Did it influence my decision? Yes, definitely. Had there been a functional alternative to the SuC or free access to it, would I have "made do" with a much cheaper ID.4 or even cheaper still an E-Niro.. again quite...

2.4Ghz has better range so always best to have both enabled and let devices find the optimum setup.

Forget you ever saw the number 351. It's fantasy. Interesting though... if you know the average Wh/mile with that figure of 322 should be able to estimate the useable battery pack size.
