Thanks guys, perhaps I'll try Admiral multi car as well. My last year's LV multi car was about the same as ajmoor's Admiral one, although I have 2 very low mileage per year ICE's as well as the Model S.

Despite having 9 years NCB and rural, LV have just declined to insure my Model S again on my multi car policy! It seems they are no longer prepared to Tesla's. Looking back through posts on insurance I see that Direct Line are said to be Tesla 'Partner' insurers so I plan to give them a try...

I just got a reply from Tesla Service. Unfortunately they say there is no SD card recall on my car, so if I want it replaced it will cot £215. At present I have not noticed any problems, either with navigation or the MCU, although I assume that changes in the highway layout since the 2019 update...

No, no recall replacement. I'll ask about that. Thanks.

Thanks again, mxnym. The MCU1 appears fine at the moment, excepting the Nav and drivers manual issues, one or both of which may not be down to the MCU. However, as you say, it might be kicking the can down the road to replace the SD card rather than go for the upgrade. I bought the car new more...

Thanks mxnym, useful advice. If I have to keep paying out for SD cards for future nav updates, and other areas start giving problems as well, it would probably be worth me getting the MCU2 upgrade, plus radio upgrade as I use FM quite a lot. I haven't had a noticeable problem with slow nav...

Nav update, EU-2022.40-12215 is stuck trying to upload in my my 2015 MS85 with MCU1. Also, none of the pages in the on screen drivers manual load. Is this likely to be an SD card problem or the EPROM running out of memory? Tesla have offered the MCU2 upgrade, or a cheaper option for the Nav...

I've had a rather different charging problem for 3 years now on my 2015 MS85. Plugging in to my Tesla or Rolec wall chargers for instant charge it ramps up to 32amps no problem. But I always charge on scheduled charge (not scheduled departure) set for when my off-peak rate starts at midnight...

Homelink works as well now, but that may have been a separate issue - the eMMC replacement caused loss of Homelink in the first place, but failure to add my garage door to the Model S again may havre been an issue to do with training the receiver, now sorted out.

Tried the soft scroll wheel reset (again) and now the iphone pairs correctly, AND I'v e got my Homelink working again! Many thanks, TonyT's advice regarding resets was the solution .

PPS - Just tried another scroll wheel reset - not the first since this problem arrose - and.... lo and behold, my iphone now connects! Haven't tried the Homelink yet, but this is looking more promising. Many thanks for your good advice, TonyT

PS - By 'factory reset' are we talking about a soft reset - by pressing both scroll wheels on my 2015 Model S - or a hard reset, which seems to involve disconnecting the 12Volt battey as described by this rather useful blog on the subject...

Thanks pki79, Akikiki, TonyT - I'll try serval factory resets, at least that's someting I can do myself.

Yes, could be any one of a number of things I guess

Homelink to my Seip universal receiver and bluetooth to phone have worked perfectly for 7 years on my 2015 Model S. I recently had tyres replaced and Tesla offered a free VCM replacement to upgrade eMMC - well it was free so why not? - BIG MISTAKE! Homelink wouldn't work when I arrived home...

After 18 months, Telsa and Landis+Gyr, the meter manufacturers, have agreed a solution (single phase but the meters are dual single/ 3phase). My electricity supplier, EDF, have replaced my L&G E470 Type 5424 meter with the olderType 5394 version. Result Kama! I have to say that once an EDF man...

PS - STILL WAITING for softeware fix to charging error after TWO YEARS! Drops from 32amp to 16 amp charge on Scheduled unless I get up at 1.00am and uplug/replug. it'as a pita!

I just had this upgrade to my 2015 MS. My advice is 'BE CAREFUL'! If it ain't broke, don't fix it' is good advice. I just had this upgrade to my 2015 MS. Free so seemed a good idea at the time. My advice is 'BE CAREFUL'. "it ain't broke so let's not fix it" is good advice. I see no improvemet...

I’ve been locked out of my 2015 Model S five times now. First time 18 months ago, fortunately in the club carpark. No mobile connection either. Cleared after 2 hours. Same in July, same place. Tesla Support couldn’t access the car either. Now it’s occurred 3 more times, twice at the same place...

Thanks, this is the only place I found a similar occurrence. I'll post on the MS forum.

Found the traffic light symbol in the manual. Have set message to SWMBO, awaiting developments. Thanks for your suggestions.

Good point, sduck, just checked and you're right, she's got the satellite view back. But apparently the traffic is not showing either. I'll have to check the manual to see if that can be turned on and off.

I'm away but wifey says that for the last few days the nav screen has lost satellite mapping and only the basic mapping is there. An update loaded, possibly ly via the wifi connection in the garage. Looks like 3G not connecting but can't check it out myself until I get home. She tried a hard...

Well the problem persists. And Tesla (service centre) have now admitted that there is a firmware problem. Unfortunately, it seems that sorting out firmware problems that affect 2015 MS's is a low priority. I can force it to change at 32amps but unplugging and re-plugging. That seems to work if...

Thanks for that advice, DJP31. Planing to drive to Bath on Sunday and puzzling why my 2015 MS map doesn't show Amesbury as accessible. I guess I can't just drop into Gatwick, 20 mins away, tomorrow and get the upgrade on spec, but might give it a try. Slightly off topic but I need to book a...

Damn! Thanks Zanary, I feared I was going to have to spend money. Oh well, I suppose people who can afford a Model S should be able to afford to 'keep up with the Jones's'! I am in the normally happy situation that my wife doesn't like spending our hard earned cash....

Hi guys Since Tesla increased security a few weeks ago, my iphone 11 and 2019 ipad mini connect OK, but my wife's iphone 5 and old ipad running ios9 (can't update higher) can't login. It won't accept the username and login that works on my iphone 11. Should we be able to login or have I got to...

Thanks Sonix. I found that my ipad was connecting OK. I tried logging out and then could not log back in, again no connection.Then I realised that my iphone had not updated to 14.3, so I updated it and now the app works fine! Yery strange.

It looks like ihe problem is my iphone. My ipad connects OK. Maybe its a problem with an ios update Having logged out of the Tesla app I cannot now log back in on my iphone. Very strange!

My Tesla App is not connecting to both my Powerwall and my Model S. It has been out since at least yesterday although there was a screen message 'last updated 26 December' That message has just changed to 'Yesterday' My wifi and internet connections are good. I can interrogate the Gateway IP...

Indeed, I was told they were V3.

Gatwick Supercharger nearly up and running. Staff think about a week. Looks like only markings and sleeping policemen to add. Also posted on Gatwick Update thread.

That kind of makes sense. It does seem that the car is making a decision about what capacity it can charge at. I certainly adjusts the max ampage when using a 13amp socket and sometimes refuses to cjharge at all on old French wiring - I do have the correct opposite polaity chager adapter for...

That's not impossible. I have a friend nearby with 4 Tesla Powerwalls and he has been having prob lems with grid voltage stability.

The reduced charging rate seems to have almost cured itself now! Most, but not quite all scheduled charges are now charging at the full 32amps - Really weird. Glad I didn't unnecessarily spend £2.5K on the new charger Tesla Service indicated was required! Going in to Brooklands tomorrow for a...

Many thanks Tony - that's just the answer I was looking for. As NorfolkMustard demonstrated, it's possible to enter Truggers Handcross, a few miles north of me, but not my home address. I did ask for mobile service at my home, several times, including my postcode, but Tesla Service is asleep...

@NorfolkMustard - it seems that there is a bug in ios 13 that results in incoming messages failing to trigger alerts, even if they are set. This is documented on the web. It's resulting in people missing critical messages and looks a little complicated to cure. I'm getting notifications from...

Hopefully it will be easier for me once the Gatwick service centre re-opens late this year. At present the nearest is Brooklands. I would have been prepared to go there if I had realised that geting mobile service was so convoluted. I tried Truggers, Handcross and that comes up. Moto Pease...

What I find really annoying is that they don't respond to requests for help.

Thanks NorfolkMustard. I've tried putting my own address in and it doesn't accept it so I assumed it would only allow addresses in it's system. Since I've had two mobile service visits before at my home, which is near Burgess Hill, I couldn't understand how the system is supposed to work. Since...

So I've had mobile service at my home before. 2015 MS owned since new, door handle failed last year. Booked on the app and I was contacted to tell me that they could do it via mobile service at my home. No problem..... once I got email communication. Comms via the app and texts is fragmented and...

Dilly, it depends what CT clamps we are talking about. My early suspicions were raised because I have one very basic CT clamp monitor, one supplied 8 years ago when British Gas was my energy supplier. That consistently reads 300-500 watts when the powerwall is supplying all the power. Huhh?? At...
