good luck with getting onto Go. I’ve been waiting a year now for compatible smart meters.

You ought to factor in the parking situation too. You got somewhere reliable to park a 5m long car where it won’t get dinged? Pod-point or similar nearby (gym/cinema/supermarket) to top up to launch you on to the supercharger for your longer trips? You’ll need to factor in a couple of hours a...

This too. It is too small to spot the sonar fans, brake lights etc.

Yep, same boat. Ever had your MCU replaced? That’s the only non-standard thing about my car.

And... if^h^hwhen it does blow up/melt/catch fire, who's paying for the damage? Us in the long run. ebay / CE manufacturer won't feel responsible for it. Hopefully there's a way to tell it's a fake and not start a charge thru it. Chademo is only 50kw, so only half the enormous amount of energy...

Have a look under the external plastic panels on the tailgate. Mine had a grommet installed wrong on the rhs. Service only checked after lights changed multiple times. Fixed tailgate, but still had a wet boot, missing sealant between roof and c pillar too. Water ran down c pillar behind trim to...

Uh-oh... where will you be picking up from?

Pressure washer run off the holding tank should be fine. Gauze in the downpipe to catch leaf litter and bugs, and an in-line filter before the washer should be good enough.

Full auto, and use the app to pre-defrost for 10 mins in the morning is pretty good. Sometimes need to use the double tap to get the air warm enough if it's cold and damp once you get in, for a couple of minutes. Once driving full auto and 21 is comfortable enough + level 1 seat heating. If you...

If you can, try and use the Brooklands (Weybridge) service centre. My car was very poorly PDI'd by Heathrow (West Drayton), and follow-up visits to address the problems were shambles. Brooklands is night-and-day more communicative and pro-active in making things right. Oh, and the wiper blades...

And today, car all fogged up so looked in the lower trunk... soaking wet and beginning to go mouldy. It’s not the liftgate - no trunk showers, so it can only be something in the body. Been raining a lot last few days. Any ideas? Monday’s call back from the SC is going to be interesting.

Next week might be week two of the closure of Westfield White City. Check before you head there. Also, they are straight bays. It looks like Westfield Stratford is the one with staggered bays, and definitely not close to West London. Best bet is the T5 Hilton on your way in and/or out.

Thanks for the heads-up. I do like it in there, even if the parking charge while shopping is a bit steep. Park near the SC, and nip back 30-40 mins before it's time to go and shift the car to top-up. The surface in that carpark is literally squeaky-clean, must be something to do with the...

Seemed better to me, after 20 miles. I did notice that I left the house with the ‘verifying update’ message which I dismissed, and got a pop up with the release notes around 10 miles away from home on the motorway. The lane change was a bit fusssy before that point. I wonder how taxing the...

Just to add a note. My car was back in for service multiple times for this in the last year. It definitely had leaky left cluster on delivery, and this was replaced along with the appliqué and right lamp seal - and still had the problem. Went to a more competent SC eventually, and they found the...

:) in the UAE any lane is fair for overtaking... in the UK it's illegal to pass on the left, and it'd be nice (and a lot safer) if TACC didn't pass illegally.

I'm pretty sure the default is to not observe adjacent lanes and my AP 2.0 will happily go past a car to the right in the UK illegally. Does AP1 behave legally?

Yep, tomorrow I’ll take a pic of the E mark - pretty sure it’s got a part no. etched in as well.

Since my last visit to dry out the trunk and fix the lights for the third time, the headlights have been adjusted, and much better than before. I notice they are very faintly E marked now, and could well have been replaced by better units.

I imagine that a notification to the app for all connected+not charging users at the location - every minute, would be enough to wake up most hotel guest. Bet the code exists for Tesla to do something like that in these circumstances.

It could well be the last position. The AIS stuff can be tracked by satellite, but you generally need a paid subscription to see that. Once it's in range of shore in the channel it will pop up again. BTDT.

I had a moment where the 3 lanes of the M4 go down to two on the way into London. I was in lane 2 with 40 set. Lane 3 merges into 2 basically just by losing the lane marker between 3 & 2. Car decided to make he most of the wide new lane and jumped right (and I was beta testing, and expected it...

Thanks for the info. The dipped beam is level, if a little low, but the high beams are literally out by several degrees with the right one hitting the centre of a uk road maybe 20 feet in front of the car. I strongly suspect it's the same faulty unit and I'm getting played,

Car is back in to the service centre tomorrow, to have the rear lights fixed (installed an LHD fog light instead of RHD reversing light at last leaky light visit). I will have them revisit the alignment of the headlight again as well. I suspect an oversight in non-SAS cars with with PUP LED has...

I'd NOT be inclined to pay for it, as they are not really fit for purpose. I must go check and see if they have E stamps later.

typo. I meant 'right high beam' is terrible.

On RHD cars the RHD high beams are terrible. Mine throws about 15' in front of the car.The left is sort of o.k. It's been back twice, once it was 'adjusted' - no change. Second time the SC said they'd replaced the unit but it's just as bad. If I'm facing a window you can see one of the LEDs...
