    TomTom dash install

    I think when I tried, the suction mount wouldn't stick onto the tesla dashboard. I also think the angle wasn't quite right whereas my version it sits right in between where the traditional speedo would be.

    Tesla service coming out tomorrow, sounds like will be a straight swap for new one hopefully.

    3 Pin charger stopped working

    No lights at all, tried different sockets and same problem, good idea about the fuse, I'll take a look to see if it's accessible while waiting for tesla service.

    3 Pin charger stopped working

    Thanks for the input, logged on the app, was expecting an instantaneous response, but reading this forum seems to suggest could be a day or two for response! Might need to try calling them if haven't heard.

    3 Pin charger stopped working

    Hi All, My 3 pin charger seems to have stopped working, the car still charges with the wall charger but not with the 3 pin so suspect it's this that's at fault. What's the best way to get service for this, I've checked on app, request service, does it come under "battery" or "upgrades and...

    Effect of Acceleration Boost on insurance rates

    Thanks for this, interesting the insurance already lists the car at around 500 so wonder if it's considered it on by default.

    I tried some carpet tape, but the trunk liner material doesn't stick too well. Will hunt for some good velcro straps instead.

    TomTom dash install

    Still using every day, tomtom alongside tesla nav, if you turn the directions volume down on the tomtom, the speed alerts and traffic delays alerts still work. Brodit clip holding up well and in my direct line of sight. Still a vote for TomTom for me. Problem with phone satnavs is that it...

    Radio Traffic Announcement

    Has anyone got this to work on the modelY? Checked all the above screen shots and there is no traffic light button when I click the radio. Has this been replaced by live traffic on the maps instead?

    Hi All, So I have the genuine Tesla item All Weather Rear Trunk Liner, I know there may have been cheaper options but wanted to stick with OEM tesla items where I could. Rear Trunk Liner However, I find that after a while the trunk liner slips towards the rear, and it gets to the point where...

    Wall charger suggestions to stop scraping socket?

    Hi All, Have a Tesla wall charger fitted outside to my brick wall. What I've found is everytime I pull out the charge plug it scrapes the side wall (or takes the skin off my knuckles!) as it scrapes the brick wall. Has anyone any solutions to stop this happening, my thoughts would be to put...

    Stoplock Pro fits

    Hi All, It's probably not needed with sentry cams, but had this around anyway and can confirm the Stoplock Pro does fit the MY steering wheel airbag for that extra bit of security if left for longer periods at a car park. Cheers.

    Instavolt - 57 p/kwh

    Was searching instavolt and this old thread came up, now at 0.66p/kWh. My question, so the Tesla app says charged up to 90% and says has reached the set level so should stop charging, but when I check the Instavolt app it was still showing as charging. I was only about 15 minutes late getting...

    TomTom dash install

    Cheers for this, may not need the on/off in this case, whenever I sat in the car, the TomTom was turned on so thought it was still on. Do you know if the USB-C still stays powered too when the car sleeps? A cleaner install could mean I wire it to one of the USB-c up front?

    TomTom dash install

    Hi All, Although the navigation and autopilot works great on the Tesla, I still miss my tomtom with it's live traffic bar and 3D driving view. I've managed to do a reasonable clean install which also doubles up as a speedometer in front of the dash. What you'll need: 1. Brodit clip clip 2...

    2 driver profiles same name?

    Hi All, Can anyone advise on the following? I seem to have 2 driver profiles set under the same name. One which is my "name only" and another my "name and e-mail". I wonder if it's because when I first connected to the car to check everything was working the first time, tesla hadn't...

    Sat Nav Questions

    Thanks for the info, looks like may be keeping my TomTom, will mess with the clean in cabin look, but still prefer traffic bar. I hoped apple carplay with Tomtom might integrate the traffic bar but I believe it doesnt.

    Sat Nav Questions

    With pick-up of my car imminent does anyone know if the Tesla satnav can display the traffic bar on the side as in the above image like Tomtom? I’ve not yet come across a satnav app that does this as the live traffic info is very useful. Anywho who’s gone from Tomtom to Tesla maps views appreciated.

    Likewise with the increase in energy prices did feel a bit deflated as it will cost me the same as a non ev car. However, remember when I was test driving EV's tried the usual contenders BMW, Lexus, Mustang etc, all drove just like a "normal" car to me. It was only the Tesla that wow'd me with...

    So I try the LV insurance quote and I get the result: "...we can't offer you a quote because we require a tracker to be fitted to the TESLA MODEL-Y LONG RANGE AUTO." Looks like I need to go through it again and try quote with the Tesla tracker.

    Recommended driving song for first drive home in Tesla?
