    UK Pricing piss take

    I suspect my requirements are slightly different to a 23 year olds. If I was 23 i'd probably be looking at a cupra born or similar. My main requirements are space and to an extent range. Pick of the list for me currently are an EV9 or Polestar 3. the latest Gen Taycan is tempting, but the boot...

    UK Pricing piss take

    I'm not convinced this is true anymore. With the exception of the supercharger network which is still light years ahead, i'm not sure they do anything better anymore. They certainly do a number of things worse! If they open up the entire supercharge network to all manufacturers, by the time I...

    Tesla Tow ball adapter

    Morning all, I have a genuine Tesla Model Y Tow ball, and find when fitting bike racks to it they don't clamp fully. I know I read previously on a thread on here that the ball size was slightly smaller then standard UK size and as such you could get various shims for it. I now can't find the...

    Auto Wipers

    I find TACC to be fairly poor on general, but on mainland Europe it was actually dangerous. Like yourself I covered the accelerator constantly. Is seemed to pick up random markings on the road as corners and actively lower my set speed. The main reason i got the s3xy buttons was to allow me to...

    MY LR Breakdown in France. 18 months old.

    I've realise that making assumptions based on other manufactures where Tesla are involved is a massive mistake full stop! I equally assumed the fact the sales assistant told me my MY had adaptive cruise and auto wipers meant these features would work as they do for other manufacturers. I...

    MY LR Breakdown in France. 18 months old.

    I disagree, having had both a Honda and a Fiat breakdown abroad the included breakdown services in both cases were excellent. It was only through reading this forum that I realised I needed additional cover with Tesla.

    MY LR Breakdown in France. 18 months old.

    Tesla's breakdown service however is nothing like as comprehensive as others. I've never required additional breakdown cover for Europe on any new car, until get the MY. All others offered full European cover.

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    I assume those of you with huge savings are actually just dumping electricity from batteries back to the grid thus giving you negative usage?

    Anybody managed to get a Model Y loaner?

    Afraid I can't help with this, although i'm sure I was offered a Y at Leeds. However please ensure you have read the insurance cover fully. Appreciate you may have it insured on your own policy. I was offered 3rd party only and I think a 1500 pound excess.

    Regen Braking

    It's a "feature", like non working wipers and crap adaptive cruise. The manual has probably been updated to say Regen is in Beta

    Trailer Mode and a bike rack

    ahhh ok - this may be me confusing terminology. I'm talking about standard adaptive cruise

    Trailer Mode and a bike rack

    This must have changed though as I never turned off the trailer mode (always showed blue) and standard AP worked as well as it ever does.

    Trailer Mode and a bike rack

    Has this always been the case? August last year with my bike rack connected up and in trailer mode, Cruise (AP) worked fine (well as fine as it ever does). I haven't tried cruise recently when carrying the bikes

    Anyone have any info on the Hull supercharger site and when it is expected (just says 2024 on Tesla site). Might influence which port I travel from aboard.

    Sexy Buttons resume autopilot function - Brilliant !!

    Road Speed limit or current, not resume to previous set. Given how inaccurate the Road limit can be as it picks up street signs from neighbouring roads this is useless. If i've had it set at 50, and then had to brake I want to resume back to 50, as every other vehicle can. I don't want to...

    What features do you wish the Model Y came with (Dec 2022/Jan 2023) Wishlist

    Do you use your phone to unlock or your key card. The only way I can think to do this is use the key card to unlock, but your app to open the boot. To be honest it isn't something I've ever thought of, but is a good point, there is nothing to stop someone jumping in and driving off while you put...

    Sexy Buttons resume autopilot function - Brilliant !!

    I wish tesla would just add the ability to press a button return to the previous speed set on cruise. Unfortunately the s3xy buttons don't do this either

    Model Y Parking sensors poor after latest update.

    Quick update on this - had an other update pushed out a few days later and magically its back as it was. Regular OTA updates would be great if they didn't break things that currently worked and just fixed the things that don't. Not like there aren't enough of those for them to work on.

    Model Y undrivable and banging my head against the wall

    Nope, i've checked every time, and the insurance provided has been more then suitable until the Tesla. To be fair I did once have to pay Nissan £10 for the pleasure, but no other manufacturers

    Hi No, i miss the ability to return to my last set cruise speed (something every other car can do just not Tesla) and was hoping this would allow that.

    Model Y undrivable and banging my head against the wall

    Make sure you read the T's and C's if you get a loan car. I was offered one, but at £2500 excess and 3rd party only I chose to stick to Uber vouchers

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Quick question, does auto pilot resume allow you to return to the last set speed after braking?

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    My apps still says the same. Also work from home and have 2 kids. My usage is less the 1kwh at that time any, but I went to the trouble of running off laptop batteries and used tablets instead of TV for the kids and turning off lights, just to see how low I could get it. I'm expected a few...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Thank you, I've been advised to use the ohme app which replaces the octopus one so you can't see the schedules in there. I understand that if the app schedules charges outside of core hours they should be cheap also, but is rhat all electricity usage at that time or just charging. So if the...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Couple of quick questions, which I'm sure have been covered already, so apologies in advance. If it shows as smart charging in the ohme app do I just assume that's at the cheap rate. If the car is charging does that mean all my usage at that time is on the cheap rate, so I can use the washing...

    Ohme + intelligent octopus

    Hi all, apologies for jumping on another topic, but it seems silly to start a new one when this is entirely linked. I have an ohme Pro charger and intelligent octopus. It shows a schedule as per below But then starts charging out side of that schedule (ignore the charging issue I caused that...

    Wipers

    I have noticed a new feature of my auto wipers. I have always had them come on when turning into direct sunlight. They now come on when I go from a dark road towards a street light, but don't worry I they still don't wipe away rain at dusk.

    Tesla Superchargers in Italy

    Can't answer on telepass, historically i used to get a telepass from tolltickets, but gave up recently as haven't been using the motorway enough to make it worth while when out there. However I found when I was out there it was best to use the electroverse app for charging. I was paying 30p a kw...

    Autopilot is getting worse, not better.

    Let me know how they get on. They told me it was beta and nothing could be done along with the wipers. To be fair they also told me "all cars fall apart when driven" so I take what they say with a pinch of salt!

    Autopilot is getting worse, not better.

    Agree with teh comments above, but would add the worst experiences I had were driving through Germany. It would often pickup markings or tar on the road as a corner (I think that is what it was doing) and slam on. So much so that i spent my entire journey covering the accelerator ready to...

    Newbie - questions about the Model Y

    Yep mine is also on Hankook's - to be honest i'm not a massive fan. I was assured by Octopus (salary sacrifice scheme) it would come on all seasons. It also has none working adaptive cruise and non working auto wipers, but thats apparently part of the fun of tesla ownership
