Power failure according to Twitter help, no ETA on a fix. Edit: Seems to be working again, reporting as 6 free on the Tesla app. Phew

Anyone know when the Folkestone super chargers at Le Shuttle will be operational again? Surely they will be back online for the bank holiday weekend, but can’t seen any details.

Same on the Y, my fix was to only press/dispense a minimal amount of fluid. This also stop a puddle forming over the passenger side of the windscreen. I’m surprised they haven’t released a software update to limit the amount it dispenses, as you only need a little bit.

The TWC is quite basic at present, you can set a time window when it will deliver power and that’s about it. The car can do either start time and desired %, or end time and scheduled departure, which is great for daily commuters but annoying if you just want to make the most is off peak tariff...

I did, “defrost windscreen” which is transcribed correctly but did nothing. Thanks for the tip.

I was trying to defog last night, and couldn't figure out how (voice commands didn't help, thought I was trying to turn on the dome lights). Any way to manually activate it, tapping the windscreen heater twice changes it to max, but not sure if that is the same?

Impressive, but then this vision only FSD video seems unaffected by fog 🤷‍♂️

Doesn’t the wipers‘ spray/wipe solve this issue? Not much use for the other cameras though I guess.

I’d have thought vision only would be better at seeing more cars ahead. Radar wouldn’t be able to see through the car in front…

Didn’t expect this to be proven right so quickly.

Octopus told me on the phone today that they have out all their fixed tariffs on hold while they figure out prices. They also said if you come off a fixed tariff you can’t sign up to another one for 30th us. However this was after they tried to set my DD payment based on the pre price cap...

I’d get one booked in through Octopus, then phone the installer every few days to check for cancellations. Which ever comes first then cancel the other one. (There is a chance your old supplier will cancel your existing appointment).

For those of us not jaded by missed promises and de-grades of features there is hope that the FSD beta looks very impressive and is already way better at “freeway” driving than the production stack. I hope the past few years of missed promises and stagnation of AHB/HBA, wipers, self parking...

At this point it’s probably easier to scroll down on the right button on the steering wheel. A fast swipe seems to do 5mph increments, so quite easy to drop 10mph etc

Stated “end of year” for single stack which is a bit of a meme in itself

How is everyone finding the lack of rear window wiper? Any tips/treatment to stop beading in light rain, or do you give it a wipe before setting out?

We just got the refund from Hastings for our old car (free as they wouldn’t insure the Tesla) half back on the card and the other half in a cheque!?!? Glad we didn’t go with them in the end, seem like the sort of company that would try and wriggle out of any claim!

Hah I had the exact same thing! Luckily I noticed it when going though all the settings, not long after giving up asking the voice commands to “adjust the mirrors” which sadly it didn’t do even when in English… I also couldn’t get it to “activate dog mode” which is handy for leaving the kids in...

Looking into it, someone recommended this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00BJIB97K/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8# Will work well with Go Faster ending at 6:30, shame IO finishes at 5:30 😞

Had my collection from Stains this morning (Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences) Here are some photos of the numerous other MYs and some M3s:

Had my collection from Stains this morning at 10AM. They were very efficient in getting the keys and in about 2 minutes I was out searching for the car (after popping to the loo, which luckily they have in the little cabin thing...) I pulled the car out to give it an inspection, and it...

Great point, when I got the quote he mentioned he’d put it in the cabinet after checking there was enough room. I then made sure I got the smart meter (and antenna) installed before he came back 😂

I just signed up and it’s ~40p on peak, if that drops down to 34p it’d be a no brainier for anyone to sign up even if they didn’t have an EV 😂

You can contact Tesla to delay apparently. I’d book it in now, with the £ taking a battering I’d expect another price rise soon alone with ever increasing interest rates. So far Tesla have always honoured prices

Did you try spraying the window? Assume there was something on the camera.

You ideally need a washer dryer combined otherwise you have wet laundry hanging around all day to go on during the following off peak cycle (unless you wake up in the night). Was looking at heated airers but £150 means it’d take a year or so to pay its self off. Having said that I’d keep my...

Mine did this too, luckily after the smart meter and mesh (antenna) were installed. It saved having to go into and back out of the garage as the charger is next to the cabinet and avoids adding any load to the main board (which only had one space). I don’t think it’s for forbidden otherwise...

Twats aside, I’d worry someone would park next to me anyway and then you’ve increased the chance of a door ding!

Anyone figured out the best way to set up a second driver on phone key? This post (after updates) seems like a second Tesla account is the best way How to enable additional users to access your Tesla

Sounds like it, give them a call on 01628 450 660 and option 2.

I manage to get my X5 sold to the original guy via Motorway. He tried to get £800 off for a worn rear break and some other very minor stuff. Was annoying but I got it down as I had an old service bill showing the cost of disk and pads. I’d recommend covering as much as you can upfront however...

Look great, were they easy to fit? How did you contact the seller about the logos?

Just got the “avoid delay pay now” text for a collection on Tuesday. Ideally want to wait till I sell my other car tomorrow, assuming this is just an exaggeration as I’ve heard of people paying on the way to collection and then just showing proof…

My local garage said they had to all go on a HV battery awareness course before they could work on EVs. So guess they could refuse for that reason (although probably not required for an MOT).

Only just switched to GoFaster so this is very helpful. I have set up some basics to come on during my off peak 2:30/6:30, dish washer, washing machine, tumble dryer (if wet cloths still around), under floor heating. I may get my coffee machine to come on too (1L boiler) and could plug in an...

For those wondering why they don’t use the cheap legacy auto wiper detection: They need to detect rain for lots of other systems in the car (e.g. Auto Pilot) and not just on the front windscreen or specially in a small space on the front windscreen. Whilst they’d have ideally kept both systems...

Website seem to be back now, showing payment details, outstanding balance, transfers etc 😮‍💨

I saw a few collection videos where they had to stop and enable things like blind spot cameras on indicate and TAC, essentially there are disclaimers you have to accept for some of the features before they’ll work. So worth toggling everything before you set off. Edit: this was the video I was...

Phew, same date for me 27th. They did phone yesterday chasing payment but just hoping I don’t join the “catastrophic failure” and delayed delivery crew! Sounds like it’s just the website messing up then. 👌

Account page isn’t showing payment information for me but back to “next steps” we’ll reach out closer to delivery. Delivery appointment is still showing though. Anyone else seeing this?

I was holding on to confirm terms and conditions till the car came on the 27 but just pulled the trigger in case they do any tariff changes.

Thanks that’s good to know, I found admiral was better ~£600 and have used them before so will probably just go there and save any more stress/admin.

Hastings popped up on the price comparison websites after saying they don’t insure teslas… getting the impression they are a bunch of cowboy! Direct line we’re over 1k but admiral looked reasonable, will call them later.

I just tried Hastings and they said they don’t insure any Teslas (on the phone) bonus is there will be no cancellation fee for my old policy. We went with them because they offered the best price for the model Y a few months back, no idea why they would suddenly stop… Also tried Churchill but...

Tesla wall connecter installed today by EVIE Chargers (EVIE Chargers Oxford | EV installations | Residential | Commercial | Community) in the Oxfordshire/Aylesbury area. Very nice knowledgeable chap, minimal power down time and happy to talk me through any queries. Charger showing in app and set...

Finally ready to sign the Go Faster terms and conditions. Took about a week for smart meter to show up on my account page once installed.

Guy contacted me on Sunday about collecting this week. Phoned him today and he said it may not be till Sunday (will bank transfers go though on Sundays?). I have also asked for his company details but he hasn’t sent anything. I sent another text saying I need to sell it this week and if that...

I can finally see the VIN in the app now (top left) with 7 days remaining till delivery.

The reason I went for the Tesla one: - Installer recommended a dedicated board for any charger which would cover PEN fault detection regardless. So no extra cost there - I hate the naff look of other chargers with silly light shows, only other one that tempted me was the Andersen(sp) but cost...

At the risk of annoying the shipping thread regulars, did we settle on Sunrise being the last ship to the U.K. and the delays in collection (27th) being down to land logistics?
