2x PowerWall have been in Standby all day. I have power-cycled them, and press-and-hold for 5-ish seconds the red "reset" button in gateway (but not used the "emergency" slide switch). Not changed settings at all (dunno if anything downloaded an OTA update) Up to yesterday PowerWall starts...

Copy of post in another forum: teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/jump-to-new.321510/ I seem to have far more threads (compared to some weeks back) where once opened they are at the top, rather than at first NEW message. I have to notice ... i.e. avoid just start reading from the top. Pressing...

I seem to have far more threads (compared to some weeks back) where once opened they are at the top, rather than at first NEW message. I have to notice ... i.e. avoid just start reading from the top. Pressing JUMP TO NEW works, but it feels to me that there has been a change and that that was...

Could someone with a Model-X measure this for me please, I can't find a schematic on the Web What size cube (actually a dog crate) would fit between 2nd row seats (Red box) - with them pushed back and front seats in a normal / conservative sort of position Alterative would be between 2nd and...

I'm sure I'm mad, but I'm contemplating a holiday let (restoration project) in the middle of nowhere. It has no services and they would have to come a long way ... Given current state of Batteries and Mobile Phone, and putting in a borehole for water seems reasonable, maybe its become...

electrek article No idea if this is good, bad or indifferent (nor why Rivian would want to own it ...) "We reached out to ABRP CEO Bo Lincoln for confirm/deny/comment who referred us to Rivian. Rivian sent us to their Europe-based head of corporate affairs, who couldn’t comment" All carefully...

"Tesla has slashed Supercharger prices across most markets in Europe as energy prices are stabilizing downward following the crisis" "Tesla has decided to revise Supercharger prices, down today across almost all European markets. Most markets saw prices reduced by 10 to 20%, with some markets...

Electrek article "Tesla announced that it is making a new version of the Model 3 with the Long Range battery pack and a single RWD motor, but it’s only available to businesses in the UK. Model 3 with a Long Range battery pack, but it only has a single rear-wheel-drive motor ... 394 miles...

"UK charging network evyve has placed an order with DC fast charger maker Tritium for a whopping 10,000 EV DC fast chargers by 2030." Sorry, no idea who Evyve is and whether this is significant, whether the DNO and Planners can get sites in place in time etc. but the headline number caught my...

I follow Battery Life on YouTube and watch his videos on occasion. He's been waiting on OTA 3.0 "for ages" (and, in the meantime, I think he has placed an order with different brand, having been a keen VW supporter). Spoiler alert: Anyways, I watched the video of the shenanigans he had to...

I'm getting flashed at night (a bit) When I had the M3 that was a common thing, after a software update. My car is parked on the flat; I haven't seen any threads about MY having a problem with headlight alignment after OTA updates, so just wanted opinion on whether its just me (and I need to...

Inverter has died (judging by the error code it needs a new relay, probably 5-quid ... but I have no idea where to find someone who can do that repair - but given the cost of replacement is around £800 then a repair-budget of £799 would be fine and far better for the environment) Sparky is...

"Sorry to have to tell you, your prices are going up on 1 October ..." My Day Rate has gone up by 30% ... and my Night Rate has gone DOWN by 20% ... But ... I very rarely use any Day Rate ... PowerWall fills up overnight, Solar will nudge it up a bit on any Winter's Day which is sunny ... So...

electrek.co/2022/05/27/tesla-owners-less-likely-crash-than-their-other-cars Probably reported in another (non UK) forum, but thought it might be of passing interest to Brits "Tesla owners who also drive another vehicle are 50% less likely to have an accident in their Tesla compared to in their...

A courier who comes here quite often always admires the Tesla, would like EV, but thinks he couldn't afford it He does about 70,000 miles a year, and 300 miles would be a typical max miles day. All his parcels are small, so although his current is a small van an M3 would be OK for "Cargo" I...

I've got Tesla and Zappi wall chargers, happy with both of them. I guess the Zappi Eco+ wins for PV simplicity "Fill the car if PV starts to export". I like the fat cable on the Tesla as there are inevitable times when it doesn't get properly coiled away, and is then driven over etc. I have a...

An article on electrek.co which I thought was interesting Apparently in this year's Super Bowl there were a number of EV adverts: "BMW had an ad about the X1. GM promoted its Ultium electric platform, which powers a series of new electric vehicles starting with the GMC Hummer EV. Kia featured...

Nothing to do with Tesla, but as some folk here seem to be into Home Automation and the like I thought I would ask. I want to know what the temperature is in my greenhouse ... so that when I forget to open it I get an alert (and some other temperature scenarios I either want to alert, or just...

I've added 32 panels to the 16 I already had and I'm now in the (new for me) position where I am generating more Solar PV than I can use, and PowerWall is filling up quiet early in the day. Whatever back-of-envelope sums I did, which caused me to think that what I have installed wouldn't be...

Model-S Raven LR Nov2019 Just had my wheels swapped over from Winter to Summer. My recollection was that torque should be 270 nm, fitter was sceptical it needed to be that much (and too much would be likely to "pull" the studs, so that over time they stretched and the thread portion would move...

Not owned a trailer before. Changed to Model-Y to, now, get rid of the ICE people carrier - no longer needed for Uber-ing kids and their chums around, as ours have grown up, so its relegated to hauling rash eBay purchases. So basically I want a trailer that can take large / awkward shaped...

Planning to go to Holyhead, Dublin, Galway, Ennis, Dublin, Holyhead I've set up an account with ESB Cars and an RFID car is on its way. Not bothered to source hotels with chargers, as decided that choice of hotel more important than ones-with-chargers. Looks like they have 13AMP plugs in...

Watched a YouTube from "Battery Life" today. He drives an ID3 (in Bavaria, Germany). He seems in vogue with lots of brands, so gets to test plenty of stuff, and as such is knowledgeable. Similar approach to Bjørn Nyland, very different presentation though. Today's video was a trip in ID3 with...

Only done 3 February Commutes in M3 ... so data is a bit light :), and allowing for a range of temperatures ... Commute is dual carriageway bar the first / last couple of miles, and traffic such that can't get a wiggle on, average speed within 48 - 55 MPH, time similarly 48 - 52 Mins, so...

Hi, Hoping someone with experience from Norway can help me. I am taking my car from UK to Alps for skiing. When I return the car will have sat for a week in the cold, and I have long descent and would like to have Regen for that. There is off-road parking where we are staying but only 240V...

Not done it before in EV so would appreciate any hints and tips (MS LR Raven) Looks like a splash-and-dash at Folkstone for 5 mins will get me to Urvillers. Ideally arrive there empty, and at lunch time, to maximise eating time ... they have the best Ham and Spinach on the Autoroute :) We want...

How do you adjust Cruise Control? I'm doing 70 and come into 40 roadworks. Long-press on "-" reduces by 5 MPH. Is rinse-and-repeat the only way? Press the brakes and want to re-engage Cruise, I still need 40 but its back at 70 again. Any way around that? Has a way been added to engage at...

This is the seriously abridged version Got a stone chip. Phoned insurance company (NFU) and got automated "Press #1 for windscreen" and then a choice of "Random" or "Specific" affiliated company. Random took me to National Windscreens. They came out and applied some "glass filler" later that...

We're having a once-in-a-decade storm over here in the UK. Changed the settings yesterday to 100% for backup (Storm Watch triggered, so it might have done that by itself) Had a power cut several hours ago ... thought I should check with Power Utility what the status was, so phoned them up "All...

My daughter has been driving ICE a fair bit for the last few weeks instead of just her Model-3. She suffers ("somewhat", rather than "drastically") from migraines and told me that she's had a few starting to come on of late and, reflecting on it, is pretty sure that they stopped / receded from...

I've been thinking about anything I need to do before swapping my existing Model-S for a new one. I've put all the rubbish into a cardboard box so I can swap it over and chucked a bucket of water over the old car :) Always thought it was disappointing that when I had a loaner all the e.g seat...

What do I need to be aware of when collecting a Model-S? I posted a thread about Model-3 UK Collection Day FAQ which covers general things that new owners would need to be aware of including driving one for the first time and controls familiarity etc. So my question is really about anything...

Going to chop in my 2016 Model-S for a new one because I want the greater range, and (at the high mileage I do) the car will be over 100K fairly soon ... My plan was that if I sold it now there would be enough miles left to give a new owner some "comfort" ... ... but ... the R. Symons price...

Staying with friends. Plugged into their garage 13 AMP socket ... tripped that. Dialled back to 5 AMP (minimum) ... tripped it again. His garage is on a different distribution board so suspecting that was a bit iffy I moved car beside an open window next to main distribution board ... that...

Tesla finally makes CHAdeMO adapter compatible with Model 3, giving access to 3rd party charging networks - Electrek Needs the right firmware upgrade, but its the same hardware. Not sure if anyone would use CHAdeMO in preference to CCS at 3rd party charging sites though? But I suppose for...

Company Car TAX BiK reduced to 0% Looks like from 2020 the BiK on EVs will be 0% (instead of 2% as currently projected) Paragraph 3.13 if you want to wade through it...

DL are offering a No Claims Protection for £175 p.a. I can't work out what that protects me against because it doesn't seem (unless I am being thick) from the price at renewal going up £175 on top of the premium bumps it up quite a lot ...

Dunno if this is a dumb idea, but wondered if a thread collecting Hints and Tips would be helpful? with the UK sales-surge that the M3 is about to bring? Trouble with Forums that huge long discussions ensue which makes it difficult for people coming along later to see Wood for Trees. Maybe it...

Motorway cut to 50mph to reduce pollution " The High Court had ordered ministers to act after they failed to meet EU targets on air pollution. The Welsh Government has now confirmed the restrictions will stay permanently. The 50mph limits are at the M4 Port Talbot, M4 Newport, A470...

I'm wondering if we should do this (for employees) No idea what is involved ... interest free? cheap interest? .... and my first thought is that any spare cash ought to be growing the business ... ... but we are off to a BBQ at some Range Rover hugging friends ... I'll berate them all I can...

806 Wh/mile ... at least that's what Bjorn found running his from 100% down to 10% ... at a steady 125 MPH (on Autobahn) :)

A batch of 250 Tesla Powerwalls are going to the UK - Electrek I wonder if anyone with Referral is included .. interesting that Tesla sent out "Would you prefer credit instead of powerwall" a month back - which I think worked out at about £2,500 less than "Buy a powerwall and have a Sparky...

Can the Tesla Wall Charger charge anything? or just Teslas? My understanding is that there is a dip switch in their destination chargers for Tesla-only / any-EV ... but I don't know if that is different to the wall charger.

Arranged to pick my daughter up from Peterborough Station - she was coming from Up North (and me from Down South). I set a time for her arrival an hour before "critical", she selected a train that arrived another hour before that ... so I said she could wait in a cafe when she arrived, until I...

Just before I get my credit card ready for launch ... ... anyone want to hazard a guess for how much insurance will be for Long Range M3 for a 25 year old? Can't remember how long she has had her own insurance, but she has got several years no claims

What has been taken away from AP, as was, and now moved to FSD? (My reference point is AP1 rather than AP2) Anything that you currently have and actually use and would miss? Looking at the blurb is seems that: "Navigate on Autopilot: automatic driving from highway on-ramp to off-ramp...

In another thread mention was made of UK specific thread for software updates: Some time ago I started a thread for UK Supercharger Site News so that there would be a single thread (possibly with links to other sub-threads) that anyone not regular to the site could "watch" to keep up to date...

I went up to York today (and back). I needed a 96% charge at Grantham to get to York, and back to Grantham (thereby avoiding a detour to Woodall). ABRP said I'd arrive at Grantham at 55% and, if I went direct to York arrival would be below 10% I told Satnav to go to York and it dutifully...
