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...

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...

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...

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...

My 2015 S85 (60K miles, air suspension) has just developed loud squeaks and groans from the front suspension/steering area. Every little bump produces an audible squeak even with the windows closed. When stationary, just a very small steering movement produces the same squeak/groan. Jack up one...

Things are happening at Gatwick again. Workmen are in action of the the Covid-19 shutdown. I'm told re-opening will hopefully happen in the last quarter of this year.

I had a bit of a puzzle today regarding the parking charges at the Heathrow Hilton supercharger, which I've not used before. Normally you go to reception with your Tesla key to get half an hou free parking, However, due to Covid-19 the whole hotel including reception is closed at the moment, but...

My 2015 S85 has always charged on my 7kW home AC charger at 32amps/7kW. A few days ago I noticed a big reduction in datalogged nightime home load and found that the Model S was only charging at 16amps. Most days, at present due to our current Covid-19 lockdown the car is not being and only...

Some of you will have between following my thread at Gateway 2 and Smart Meter accuracy regarding over-reading by my new SMETS2 Smart Meter in conjunction with my Powerwall 2. A 'discussion' with EDF has been ongoing since November. However, it has now taken on a new lease of life - possibly...

I just read this worrying snippet on the Caravasn Club website about foreign driving regulations "In both Austria and Portugal it is illegal to own and to use a dash cam. Fines can be as much as €25,000 if you are caught using one. It is also illegal to use one in Luxembourg." I think it's to...

Great new video of quite scientific UK range test of 6 electric cars here. Long range Model 3 wins - as expected of course! Kia Niro did surprisingly well though. iPace slightly better than e-tron and Merc eqc ~ equal worst.

My Powerwall 2 with Backup Gateway 2 was installed in July and is working well. I had my Model S charger wired into the NON-backup side so that the Model S didn't empty the powerwall during a night grid outage. I'm on a dual rate tariff, and in Advanced cost saving mode, so the powerwall charges...

Looks like we are in for serious storms in the UK this weekend - up north Saturday night and down south on Sunday night. Does the Powerwall (2) have storm watch in the UK? There will probably be power outages. What's the best strategy for charging in advance if on Advanced Cost Saving mode? -...

I first posted this question on the UK Forum as it concerns a problem with a new UK Smart Meter, which may be over-reading. However, I guess some of you guys in the Sates will have a lot more information about how the Gateway 2 monitors power flow and the relative accuracies of the Gateway and...

With some reluctance, I have just had a new Smart Meter installed. I did so after assurances that I would retain control over the day/night changeover time and the economy 7 tariff options, and because EDF offers a particularly attractive tariff with a very low off peak rate if one agrees to...

parBonjour mes amis francais Il faut que je conduise par Model S de Persan-Beaumont, près de Chantilly, au nord de Paris, à Athee sur cher, à l'est de Tours jeudi matin pour arriver vers 12 heures. Quel est le meilleur itinéraire autour de Paris? Est ou ouest? De Google maps, il semble que la...

If you're wondering why Tesla bought Maxwell, this could be the answer. Scroll down past the oil stuff to the last paragraph...

Has anyone with an economy 7 meter and heavy off peak usage, like an electric car, (or storage/under floor heating) had a smart meter fitted? Quite a lot of newer tariffs only seem to provide 4 hours or other off-peak electricity. I frequently charge for 4 hours or more and also have immersion...

My Powerwall 2/Gateway 2 was commissioned on Tuesday, and set to self-powered mode. I was told it would take a day or two before the Advanced options appeared. After 5 days, still no advanced options showing on the app. I've tried closing the app and logging back in again. Should I be concerned...

Lots of Tesla's in Norway! Why is Norway the land of electric cars?

I’m looking at the economics of installing a single Powerwall 2. Battery backup in our house has never been an economic proposition. With PW2 it’s looking better, but still not quite worth it. We have normal on grid dual rate supply (I charge our Model S at night and it costs £250/year-12000...

Just recently I've experienced my 2015 MS slowing automatically when signally left (in UK) and turning off a dual carriageway. I disengage autopilot but leave TACC engaged and about 100 yards from the turnoff it starts to decelerate and continues decelerating, at a very reasonable rate, down the...
