    Home charging

    When I initially tried to connect our Zappi charger it kept throwing up a error although can’t quite remember what it was, I contacted them through X (Twitter) they seem very responsive there, they passed onto a tech who reset something and it then connected first time I tried after that but as...

    Home charging

    Pod Point are just on the general list with most other make of chargers, you need to connect IOG through Tesla and use pod point as a dumb charger. Only Ohme, MyEnergi (Zappi) and 1 other (Wallbox I think?) are compatible with IOG at the moment

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    Looks like they used the metric PS measurement on UK site which comes out lower than imperial BHP figure but maybe some rounding going on, performance in the same so imagine motor is same as well

    [UK] Spring Software Update

    Yes I was just thinking about something to tap adhoc to not exceed current speed, my last BMW and wife’s current Mini has a button on steering wheel and is handy for average speed zones Not essential I suppose, love the MY experience so far (6 weeks in) I read about all the foibles beforehand...

    [UK] Spring Software Update

    Looking at that article does Tesla already comply? If I say hit 61 there’s a 2nd speed to right of the speed limit sign that pulses, would be nice though if you could set a limit to not exceed Extract from article pasted below An informative or advisory ISA prevents speeding by showing a...

    Tesla MY Longe Range Increased Battery Pack

    That looks like a RWD version of the LR so maybe why the extra range? Looks to have a more powerful motor to RWD as 0-62mph time is quicker. Think they did similar to old style M3 last year

    New MY Colours from today. Cherry Red and Quick Silver

    I would imagine down to trade agreements between EU and India? Tesla want to build a factory in India and this is a way in to their market

    New MY Colours from today. Cherry Red and Quick Silver

    Yes sorry only Quicksilver, there was a rumour this morning saying Berlin are making cars to be shipped to India (RHD) so would make sense for UK cars to be built at same time

    New MY Colours from today. Cherry Red and Quick Silver

    They’ve been shipping these new colour to China the last few months so don’t think it necessarily means the will come from Berlin

    Tesla Alternative?

    Definitely the white looks great, I had originally intended to buy a Highland in Ultra Red outright for that very reason of so many white cars about, easier to justify if keeping long term, but a 2 year lease on the MY tempted me

    Tesla Alternative?

    This new red is amazing in person, in China they already have the new red on MY along with Quicksilver that also looks great, hope that will filter over here at some point

    Tesla Alternative?

    My mate calls it ‘skinflint white’ but on current MY 2 year lease deals for grey, black or blue you pay an extra £1700 or so and can see why so many go for it (along with me), maybe Tesla went overboard with white cars this quarter

    Best Stopping Mode for Motorway Driving?

    Tesla is supposed to be removing roll and creep mode from cars made Jan onwards, already gone from Highland, although maybe this is just USA?, I would imagine those modes are both less efficient as creep will always have some power going to motor even at standstill where you need to hold car on...

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

    Is IO controlling you car or the charger?, We’ve linked our Zappi to IO rather than the MY and haven’t had to change anything, I suppose it makes sense as Octopus don’t need control of the car

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    I had the matrix lights on a X3 M40i and all that did was mask out sections of light as well much like the Tesla system although the BMW would switch of high beams in a street lit area, there was no mechanical bending and the fog lights didn’t come on when indicating Tesla never promised this...

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    I had adaptive lights on a BMW X3 (pre laser light version) and that worked in same way, would just block out sections of high beams

    Missing Sub Speaker Covers

    RWD highland doesn’t get a sub, I think what you are seeing is just blanks covering the holes on RWD although service centre should confirm

    [UK] 2024 Order to Delivery discussion

    I ordered about same time as you, my Y RWD was delivered 28th Feb. I went through a broker via carwow for a personal 2 years lease as only need 8k miles a year and worked out cheaper than direct with Tesla which was min 10k miles p/a. I ordered the tyre repair kit from Tesla, hope I won’t need...

    New tesla 3 highland range -

    Whilst they are obliged to publish the WLTP figure, the only certified results they use are on 19” wheels of 318 miles, they compound issue by publishing a unofficial estimated figure for the 18” wheels of 344 miles for RWD so can see it will confuse buyers when figure on screen is so much...

    New tesla 3 highland range -

    318 is WLTP on the 19” Wheels, ELA on 19s is 248, on 18” it is 344 and EPA is 272

    [UK] 2024 Order to Delivery discussion

    I received my MY last week from Brent Cross delivered on a trailer to me in Bedfordshire, had 19%, driver was towing 2 single trailers each with a MY on it

    Residuals / Depreciation

    You may find if you keep the Tesla for 6 years there won’t be much more depreciation. A new M3LR is £50k, I would think the equivalent Audi to your sons would cost considerably more now than it did 6 years ago so cost to get into a similar new car will be a lot higher (Just trying to put a...

    Stalkless....until 2026 anyway!

    I test drove a Toyota BZ4x, it is a very nice car to drive anlthough efficiency wasn’t great. Steering wheel had 18 buttons on it plus a 2 way rocker, wheel is mounted quite low as well due to speed/info display being mounted high up, can’t possibly learn where they are by touch, don’t think...

    Stalkless....until 2026 anyway!

    I believe the Y originally had piano black when launched in USA

    Stalkless....until 2026 anyway!

    Doesn’t it say must use buttons, stalk or dials? Highland indicators would OK in that case

    Model Y LR approximate range 80% of battery

    260 is normal for RWD, it shows the EPA range rather than WLTP, I charged my 2024 MY for first time last night to 100% and that also says 260

    OCTOPUS are an absolute (bad) joke - beware of dealing with them

    Thanks, I bet that is what has happened to me, had the fuse switched to 100amp about the same time as switch

    [UK] 2024 Order to Delivery discussion

    Had a MY RWD delivered yesterday, originally ordered 5th Feb, arrived on a trailer with 7 miles on clock and 19% battery, assume never charged since left China? Very impressed so far, first EV and effortless, I was going to buy a M3H for cash but switched to a MY personal lease through a...

    OCTOPUS are an absolute (bad) joke - beware of dealing with them

    +1 to message them through X, I tried to sign upto IOG many times yesterday and today but always same error before test charge screen, messaged them on X at 4.30, a few messages later at 6.20pm received a message to say tech have looked at it and to try now and it worked first time I have same...

    VED Changes

    Yes know what you mean DVLA call it Vehicle Tax all the time, they don’t use the term VED, I know technically Road Tax wasn’t right but everyone knew what it meant
  31. M

    VED Changes

    Even the DVLA who collect it call it Vehicle Tax, don’t know why that was so controversial in original title to have Tax removed, Just paid my wife’s car and VED doesn’t appear on the Tax reminders at all

    Model 3 Highland 318 vs 344miles

    Yes agree you see 100s of those sort of posts on Facebook even now lots about Highland, this will be my first EV and when comparing I always try and find a good real world figure (plenty sources supplied on this forum) then deduct 50 miles to give a safe buffer

    Sexy Buttons resume autopilot function - Brilliant !!

    They are based in Bulgaria I believe, may be easier to ship somewhere within EU?

    Sexy Buttons resume autopilot function - Brilliant !!

    You would still have to pay 20% VAT with a local distributor, as it is they shouldn’t be charging local VAT for exports so should come out even except for any courier surcharge?

    Model 3 Highland 318 vs 344miles

    I think that’s what the op was doing, comparing the difference between same model with 18 and 19 wheels Appreciate that ideally you don’t want to go down to 0% but having some real world information on the 100% range can’t hurt and can then work back from that to how far you can roughly go...

    Model 3 Highland 318 vs 344miles

    Yes I know, SiW80 asked me for LR EPA figures
  38. M

    Model 3 Highland 318 vs 344miles

    EPA shows as 305 with 19 and 341 with 18
  39. M

    Model 3 Highland 318 vs 344miles

    I think they claim the covers give 3-5% extra although that’s from reading it a while ago from memory, the 344 will include that 5% I suppose although the new EPA figure of 272 miles with 18” wheels with aero covers seems more realistic, I assume that’s what it will show in the car, EU users are...

    Model 3 Highland Insurance

    Isn’t Highland just a code name?, Tesla still officially just calling it a RWD or LR, I’ve just tried Go Compare and it allowed me to select a 2024 RWD, got a quote for £470 for a 5 star policy, when I tried November after placing order it was £570 so not sure if prices are easing a bit?
  41. M

    Model 3 Highland 318 vs 344miles

    It does seem optimistic to get 26 extra miles with 18” wheels?, when you look closely they say this is just estimated rather than WLTP On USA site EPA is shown as 272 miles tested on 18” wheels, with 19” it only estimates 248 miles for RWD (I believe though EPA tests are a bit stricter from Jan...

    Tesla Alternative?

    Taycan depreciation is shocking, had a look at a 18 month old one on Autotrader up for £62k, list new was £102k, motorway value it at £48k with 13k miles, I don’t think the low range of them helps, feel Porsche should be at the cutting edge but 268 miles WLTP is pretty average nowadays but they...

    Highland test drives

    I believe they only have LHD showroom cars at moment, have put my name down in showroom for test drive a month ago but don’t think that will happen until the first RHD cars are shipped over Jan/Feb time?
