Do you know why they are down? Please tell me they are being quickly upgraded.

It sounds like your wiper mechanism is worn and on the way out, check for the infamous hood scrape notch. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/windshield-wiper-arm-scraping-metal-under-the-hood.114594/

Stopped by South Mimms last night for a charge. The new dispenser bases are in, I counted 17 V3's it looked like. They can't come soon enough.

I don't know how Chris did it, I did it in situ. I tried removing both ends of the corrugated rubber tube the wiring runs through but couldn't pull either end far enough back to get to the broken wires. Instead I sliced open the rubber tube end to end with a craft knife, repaired the wires and...

I had exactly the same symptoms. Took the loom apart to find the thick black wire broken, the thick white wire broken and a thinner green wire almost broken. Spliced and soldered them all and it's working perfectly again (for now). Thanks for your post, wouldn't have found the issue without you.

I've had this twice. Once I had the warning, got it in to Tesla and they replaced a 3 way diverter valve. 2nd time 18 months later I spotted a small puddle of coolant near the drivers side front wheel (RHD UK car), got it in to Tesla and it was the same issue, replaced again. Both not under...

Had my pyro fuse replaced today. Took them an hour and was free under the 8 year battery warranty. Car is a UK 2016 facelift S P90DL.

I'll also throw my hat it to say AP1 is great. Did 900 miles last weekend to France and had it on 80%+ of the time. Use the indicator to change lanes. It was rock solid, no phantom braking, nothing weird, it just worked. Have driven AP2 cars a few times and I just found some of the features...

I was really looking forward to buying a used Plaid down the line. The Model S really does it all for me, first and foremost very fast (for me to enjoy), 3 good seats in the back for the near adult sized kids, loads of luggage space and with the towbar I can launch the boat with it. There aren't...

I do!

The battery is disappointingly small on the I5, I was expecting at least a 100kwh option. "Both i5 models feature an 81.2kWh lithium ion battery as standard. The eDrive40 offers a claimed range of between 296 and 362 miles, while the more powerful M60 xDrive delivers a claimed 283 to 321 miles...

Membury and Reading sprung to mind immediately so there must be many more not on that list.

No idea, just have the nav running and then select energy instead of nav using the left thumbwheel. It could just be an MCU1 thing, other than that I don't know sorry.

Damn! Well thanks for the replies anyway chaps. Now I know.

Taken from Tesla's website: Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty The Battery and Drive Unit in your vehicle are covered for a period of: Model S Model X 8 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period. It's the 70%...

Hi all, I have a 2016 facelift Model S P90DL, it's done nearly 77,000 miles. I feel the main battery degradation is pretty bad and that I might be bordering on meeting Tesla's requirements for a warranty replacement. I did a trip today, left on 100% charge straight after charging had stopped...

Most of the marker links in the original post seem to not be working now. Hopefully most of these sites still happen 🤞

Yes it can do strange things sometimes. On a long trip with multiple SC hops I generally put the destination into the nav, look at the route it's taking me on and then select the next charger as the destination manually, then at the next charger I do the same and so on. I find it a more precise...

Hi Dan, If your car hasn't had the CCS upgrade yet the display in the car should only show you SC's that have both connectors. For example the ones I use in Canary Wharf have I think 8 of the newer V3 CCS only chargers but also 4 of the older ones (V2 I think) with both CCS and the type 2...

Yes, only noticed that after I posted, sorry! Clearly shows what my Mustang driving buddy thinks of EV's :)

Yes, taken the Tesla twice now and will do again this June, can't wait. I may give myself 2% more buffer this year!

Last June I was driving my annual pilgrimage from the UK to Le Mans in France. The S P90DL was predicting 3% on arrival, all good I thought, until I took a wrong turn and had to do a 12 mile loop up the autoroute to get to the supercharger. I don't know for sure but I was on 0% for at least 6...

Had a good snout round Beaconsfield services tonight, no sign of any new chargers/construction so assume this isn't happening or the potential Supercherger is going to be somewhere else. https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/findus/location/supercharger/BeaconsfieldSupercharger

I went to the Reading service centre Superchargers yesterday without first looking at the screen on my car, big mistake. The car park through the chargers is all dug up and it looks like more cable work is being done. Looks like it's going to take a little while to complete.

Yep that looks like 16 SC bases to me, top spotting.

Beaconsfield has vanished off the coming soon map 😭

I have the same model and I've had quite a few issues but never that noise. Strange that it's all the time though. Could be a bunch of things but personally I'd be getting it booked into Tesla ASAP, sorry.

Isn't there more to it than just fitting the seats. I was under the impression that 7 seat S's had a significantly increased rear crash structure to protect the occupants in the 3rd row. Also in the UK if it's a 5 seater on the registration document it can legally only ever be a 5 seater so you...

I'm there tomorrow morning, I'll count them if I get a mo.

Quite a few UK upcoming sites have been recently added such as Beaconsfield which is a result for me: https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/findus?v=2&bounds=52.459445638778085%2C2.156186057301741%2C50.23500212296734%2C-4.875063942698259&zoom=9&filters=supercharger

Yes, at least that's what it said on the invoice, hopefully that's the right part!

All fixed, only 2 days in the service centre and seems to be working perfectly. It was down on power and I hadn't really noticed but it's all back now thankfully.

Many thanks Ben7

No they didn't, I assumed that was the case though. Not spoken to a human face to face, all done contactless via the app. My symptoms were like it was overheating so I thought the coolant system would be involved in some way. I only got this error while driving slightly harder than usual or...

Mine is in a service centre now. Dropped it off yesterday, they told me the large drive unit has an inverter issue and needs to be replaced. They ordered the parts yesterday. They arrived this morning and are being fitted today, I should get the car back tomorrow. The car is a UK facelift Model...

Anyone got an update on Exeter services Supercharger please?

Just to add Watling did my electrics install yesterday. Fly lead is hidden in the boot. Perfect job, couldn't recommend them highly enough. Looking forward to the 1800 mile road trip with bike rack next week. Just praying I don't need to remove the bike rack for every charge at a Supercharger!

Great, thank you. Will give them a bell on Monday.

I fitted my own towbar, which was not fun! When I put the main new towbar structural 'beam' on I had to move a sensor under the bumper as per the instructions. No idea what the sensor was but it certainly wasn't parking sensors. The sensor now faces back still but is upside down. Dat37863 do...

Hi, first post so go easy on me please. I fitted one of the German ones to my car, it's basically invisible and works great for launching our boat at the boatyard. It doesn't have electrics fitted, I've done it in the past but was reluctant to start chopping into the Tesla looms. I now really...
