    Whats the name of your Tesla?

    Great minds! Ours is also named ShadowFax but more for the reason in honour of Gandalf's noble steed

    Accesories - what phone holder you use?

    It looks nice and all but I really regret buying this style of phone holder because it leaves grooves like this on the dashboard after you removed it and it takes awhile if not, never goes away. I might have to use a hot hair dryer to see if I can restore it back into original shape. I have not...

    TopFit display - issues with headlight indicators with 2022.28.1

    I got the Yonzee mini hidden HUD display and I can confirm that I get exactly the same problems mentioned above where signals don't work. To be fair, given it was a mini HUD and my requirement was just to have the speedo, I could probably live without signals.

    Energy price increase

    Ah you are right! after what you said, I had to read it properly and spotted this part in the PDF email Octopus sent me Thanks for that, doesn't look too bad now then

    Energy price increase

    For us (Kent area) and we're with Octopus Electricity (Octopus Go): No change as I am still currently on my Octopus Go tariff until next year at 31.31p peak and 7.5p off-peak Gas (Flexible): Is where it became worst than what I predicted. Went from 7.3p to a whopping 15.4p!

    Extra Uses For Off-Peak Electricity

    Pretty much the Dishwasher and washing machine only for us. Being an avid lawn junkie, I contemplated about mowing the lawn after midnight but I think that might be pushing it with the neighbours....

    No phantom drain - Related to recent update?

    Seems normal to me and roughly on par with what I am experiencing and I've had the MY since March. You might find as we are approaching the Winter periods, we might lose a bit more too.

    No phantom drain - Related to recent update?

    Car at home on driveway not plugged in and Sentry off but then again, I've had Sentry off at home for past few months there was always drain. Temperature here in Kent this week is in the low 20s. So point being is nothing in the charging routine, car setting or how we used the car has changed...

    No phantom drain - Related to recent update?

    Wondered if anyone experienced anything unusual with the SOC recently. I had the MY since March and as per usual, I’m always expected to lose a few % due to the phantom drain each day so pretty consistent and normal in that sense. However, I charged the car two nights ago and brought it up to...

    My Model 3 broke

    The wait is finally over for you, what a relief! congrats. 5 months is shocking and I really hope this is not a trending new norm where it takes a crazy long time for a car to be fixed. No way ever would I accept my car being taken into Park Royal ever again.

    Zappi or Hypervolt for a solar home system ?

    mines definitely on 2.0 and I’m connected via Wi-FI so not I’m not sure what is new on 2.1

    Zappi or Hypervolt for a solar home system ?

    We've had Hypervolt since Feb 22, not had one problem and yes It has scheduled charging, remote locking all that stuff. We went with Hypervolt over the Zappi because of the sleeker and modern design whereas the Zappi for me for more chunky and dated in design. Yes it is gimmicky but I quite...

    My Model 3 broke

    Bloody heck! that's just appalling. In the time you waited for all this to get resolved, you could have put a new order in and received a new car by now...And you're just waiting on parts not an entire built car! I'm even more curious as to when you finally get your car back. Just wondering...

    My Model 3 broke

    Geez, I really do feel for you. Must have been a nightmare and frustrating wait for you. Really hope you get it back soon. 🤞 On the flip side, they also gave me a 2017 MX for a loan car but kind of wished now that I could have kept it a little longer to benefit from some free mileage 😝

    My Model 3 broke

    Update for you all on this thread but also @Filbert1884 as I'm curious as to whether they ever fixed your problem yet or if they are still collecting dust with your car there at Park Royal? Took my MY to Dartford SC yesterday morning and got some updates today. I thought the Technician was...

    Cleaning MY glass roof

    If you are a Costco member or can get to one easily, they were doing a double pack of Rain X which worked out slightly cheaper than elsewhere I think.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Love / Hate thing I have with my MY at the moment. Love it when it actually works but I guess I was one of the few unlucky ones to get a brand new dud. Picked my one up back on 8 Mar, 800 miles in and I get the dreaded assist errors whilst driving (ABS, Traction Control, Hold Assist...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Funny you mention that, I also notice a couple more Y's there this morning when taking my MY in for a service at Dartford. I wonder if they are really new or they are also there for repairs just like mine!

    My Model 3 broke

    Interestingly my car is not due in the SC until 6th June but I received the following SMS this past weekend. I know they can see your fault codes remotely from the car logs etc. but do they get enough diagnostics to be able to determine what parts need replacing? Really hope this was the case so...

    My Model 3 broke

    Out of curiosity have you got your car back yet? as I know you been waiting ages due to parts shortage. Mine is going back to the SC on the 6th because the errors have returned and re-occuring on a very frequent and weekly basis now. I'm just expecting the worse now that like yourself, they are...

    What made you choose a Tesla?

    Despite the fact I wasn't a big fan and I personally think all the Tesla models are not that nice looking exterior wise and the build quality although is getting better but not quite there yet, the pros just far outweighed the cons for me so we're enjoying our MY. The primary reasons that...

    Anyone in the UK 'upgraded' their Model Y suspension?

    I'm agreement with the firm ride. I just cant justify spending another couple grand on top of the 56K+ already spent on the car to 'fix' the suspension. I came from having an Audi Q3 S-line for 8 years which was pretty firm too but the MY has a different type of firmness. On smooth straight...

    My Model 3 broke

    As @Filbert1884 mentioned my thread, I’m in an similar frustrating situation with my new MY but not considering going as far as rejecting the car yet. I had the same errors at around 300 mile mark. Park Royal claimed issue was caused by a wheel speed sensor which I was very sceptical about...

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    Yes all sorted and I went to collect last night so only time will tell whether the errors go away for good. I was left absolutely livid though the way they treated me car. See my last post here Tesla Park Royal Funny enough, they gave me a brand new 22 plate Volvo XC90 as a courtesy car from...

    Tesla Park Royal

    Adding to this thread based on my Park Royal Post car service experience today. I was left absolutely LIVID!! I was already frustrated that my brand new-two week old-300 mile model Y had defects to be fixed and the car was brought here to have the issues addressed. Collecting my car post...

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    I accept that no car is perfect regardless of the brand and I accept issues can arise over time which needs fixing. What gets me is that this is supposedly a brand new car, 2 weeks old with only 300 miles on the clock so you'd imagine the parts are brand new too? How does something like a sensor...

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    Ah that is great, hopefully that means they pick up on a common theme then and have both our cars fixed relatively quickly. The technician assigned to mine was Mark. As I said, they towed my car to Park Royal yesterday morning and had the diagnostic reasoning by yesterday afternoon (Wheel Speed...

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    I had fully expected the Water ingress in wiring loom explanation because it seemed like that was the most common issue but to my surprise, an update SMS from the SC had mentioned "Wheel Speed Sensor" as the suspected fault which will be replaced tomorrow....

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    Out of curiosity, which SC did it go in and how long it took for them to fix the problem? Just wondering whether if it is the same place and whether they are picking up on a common theme of a problem. Mine went to Park Royal

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    I had it before and after the 2022.8.2 install/upgrade so I think it is unrelated. If anything I thought the upgrade actually fixed the problem because the first time it happened was before I did the 2022.8.2 upgrade but the errors came back this past weekend and appeared to happen even more...

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    Yeah I would’ve been surprised too. 4 days on since it first happened, the errors popped up again and this time more consistently. They go away after awhile but come back almost within a few minutes of driving. Car being towed on Monday so will update once I get anymore news from Tesla. Have I...

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    Very helpful, thanks for that as I wasn't aware I could amend the existing appointment without jeopardising the date or having to cancel the already booked one. Got contacted by CS and told to call up the roadside assistance. As the errors have disappeared and not on display, they explained they...

    2 week old MY, Multiple Errors whilst driving - All assist functions disabled

    Not seen a thread about this being common on the MY, so posting. I’ve had these errors whilst driving my 2 week old MYLR earlier this evening. All assist features were disabled and after a little scare realised the car could still be driven albeit no hold function so had to use the brake pedal...

    Sahara Desert

    It's almost as if it knew we all just collected our brand new cars, given it the loving clean down like a newborn baby that the Saharan Dust decides to travel over 2,000 miles to give our new pride and joy the measles...curse you dust!

    Charging cost per Kwh

    Agree with @Jason71 It might seem like its ok for now at around 20-21p on the Octopus Flexible but that is only till end of this month as we're expecting the energy prices to go up again in April which would likely push it close to (if not exceed) that 30p mark anyway. At least with Go, you...

    Picked up our new toy today from bluewater. The delivery experience comments so far from others in the forum has been good overall but thought I add some critique to let those awaiting theirs to not get carried away with the excitement on collection day and keep a keen eye out for defects.

    Bluewater Pickup and Unexpected Find !!

    If you don't go bluewater often, then the road signs might be a little overwhelming. I live a few mins away so more than familar. Whether you go clockwise or anti-clockwise around Bluewater, it shouldn't make a difference but you are looking for the Plaza Car Park (IMAX). Picture below assumes...

    Any shortcuts to get a Smart Meter installed - Octopus

    I did it through email exchanges with an Octops CS and managed to get an appointment for 1 month later afterwards. Around our area at least (we’re in Kent), they subcontract the work and as I was chatting with the engineer, he said that Octopus doesn’t enforce a high pressure work environment...

    RN** - Please Sign Your Tesla Agreement Email

    Did anyone (awaiting their delivery) receive an email from Firstname Lastname via Smartsign (Email address: [email protected]) asking to fill and sign an “agreement”? as this is not an email from Tesla, I can’t tell whether it is dodgy or genuine. It doesn’t come with any documents...

    Energy Cost in UK

    Had the same dilemma with the upcoming energy cost increase and imminent delivery of my MY, managed proactively sort everything out. got an EV charger installed before the grant ends.

    Yeah same, I didn’t want to be a hindrance too so thought I go after a cheeky Nando’s dinner and at about 21:30, no staff there anymore and no one else around. Just did my thing in my own time and own comfort 😉

    Not due to collect my car until Tuesday but seeing as I live only 5mins away from Bluewater, thought I go take a walk in the parking area hoping to see if my car is already there and it is! So many Y’s there! Those picking up their cars this coming week, chances are your car is already there...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Think it was questioned in one of the earlier posts on what the reg was going to start off as. FYI, I just received a Tesla SMS update about my reg and it starts GJ22. I already previously confirmed picking up from Bluewater on 08 March

    Original estimate for me was 02 - 16 Mar so almost bang in the middle. Quite happy I didn’t have to wait till the latter part of that estimate
