Octopus Energy sent me an email today "Tracker is opening up from July 1 – and you're on the list." Has anyone done the maths to figure out where the cost tipping point is for the electricity tracker tariff vs Intelligent Octopus (IO)? I'm using ~1100kWh of elec per month, of which 80% is on...

Have any of you with this problem used a 10A granny charger at home at any point, even if just for one night? I had similar symptoms for a few weeks after charging the Tesla on a slow charger for a single night (our other EV occasionally needs a 7kW charge). What seems to happen in our case is...

Is there any data that indicates Tesla alarms are likely to go off on ferries if you just get out and lock the car normally? We took our MY across the Channel last night on a ferry in a rough sea from storm Otto, and there were no messages after the journey to suggest the alarm had triggered.

Which motorway were you on / was it concrete? My MYLR turns into a resonating mess on the concrete section of the M25 between the A3 and M23, yet behaves normally on 1000s of miles of motorways across the UK and continental Europe. I’m not suggesting we let Tesla off the hook, but wondering if...

The tow package for MY is back in stock in the UK via the Tesla app. I ordered mine today. Can anyone share how long the fitting process takes at a Tesla SC? Eg is this a half-day job, or a grab-a-coffee-while-you-wait job?

Ah! That might explain my problem; ARBP’s default consumption for my car is 10% higher. I’ll try 252 and see how that goes.

My experience of ABRP is that it materially underestimates the MYLR’s range, so planned routes contain unnecessary and overly short charging stops. I tend to drive fast so don’t believe the issue is due to driving efficiency. The disparity between ABRP (using its default settings for MYLR) and...

If you’re open to changing supplier to Octopus, they will schedule your charge automatically in their 6-hour off peak window (10p/kWh) via the car’s API. Although annoyingly the car still pulls peak rate electricity if/when you precondition on cold mornings unless you turn off or unplug the EVSE.

WANTED: set of original 19" Model Y Gemini wheels, with or without tyres. DM me if you are taking delivery of a new MY in Q4 and plan to swap out your 19" wheels, or you have a spare set to hand.

We charge there regularly as we lack a home charger. We’ve never had to queue even on weekdays in rush hour so you should be fine. Free coffee and use of toilets in the SC if your visit is in opening hours.

I insured my new MY in June with Privilege, which is in the Churchill group of companies and uses a reskinned version of the Churchill website. You need to wait until Tesla issues you with the number plate, and then wait another 1-2 days for it to permeate into the insurer's database.

We’re just back from a road trip to Switzerland and back in our new MY. The German and Swiss motorways had good barriers for screening oncoming drivers from light glare. However the French motorways we drove on had no screening, and we got flashed a lot by oncoming drivers, especially trucks...

This happened to me today in the UK in a new MY LR (no EAP/FSD). I was driving through a S-bend, with a right corner followed by a left corner. Pedestrians were walking in the opposite direction on the outer edge of the second corner, on the far side of the road from me. As I straightened up...

I’m guessing the issue is that Tesla know there are more customers ahead of you in the queue than cars inbound on ships, but they don’t know how many of those customers will drop out or postpone before full payment is due. So they’re keeping their options open to offer you a Q2-shipped car at...

Yes. Blue/Black/19, matched yesterday. I ordered in Jan, froze the order in Feb and reactivated it on 2 April, so not sure how they treat that vs the more common order-and-wait ordering pattern.

Has anyone received a VIN and not been asked for payment? I can see a VIN in the source code, but no sign of a request for payment in the app or on website. MYLR Blue/Black/19". EDD 15-29 June (was 16-30 June). Ordered January, paused February, re-activated 2 April.
