So while at the SC today I caught up with the technicians who still had no resolution or any idea on a time frame when this will be resolved however it was interesting that they said it was only Model S’s which were affected which is BS as so many others have the same issue. I didn’t fancy an...

I would have expected the main ferndown gold club would have the superchargers as that one is a premium club. However the location of the ferndown forest club does have advantages as it’s on the main A31 through road so makes sense. I’ll try and have a peek down there soon next time I’m passing.

Update regarding Bournemouth site… In essence no commencement at all. Apparently the superchargers are meant to be at the SC but Tesla have been saying that around for over a year with the team there apparently and nothing has ever happened it’s just been pushed out again and again. Nothing at...

If you only charge on greener days, you get octopoints. I had a good run until i had to charge and there hadnt been any green days for about a week (atleast i didnt receive the reminder emails)

I always wondered why Tesla didnt store the "UK" maps even on the map view not satellite. It does have stored maps somewhere as when you have the navigation runnning, on Model S/X the navigation in the screen behind the steering wheel shows a simple map when there is no connectivity so it is...

turn on hotspot on your phone first, then tap the "LTE signal bar" icon at the top of the screen, this will show you a list of available wifi. Then select your phone. If you want it automated it depends what phone you have. If Iphone, use "Shortcuts" to run automation "when iphone connects to...

its on the Tesla website supercharger map. It was originally down for completion H1, however now its just 2024.

Just to add Bridport to this specific list. I am going to Bournemouth SC on Friday so i will ask around then about Bournemouth and Bridport.

Yup this is same as what i do towards the end of every day when we have excess power in the batteries, i dump it back into the grid before the 1130 cheaper rate. I did the same during the saving sessions. However we have a max export of 2.5kw so over a 30 mins saving session it wouldnt be a...

I did that a few times but never showed any "negative" supply just showed the delta between what we used to use the night before (say 1kwh) and 0kwh after the saving session. i know it exported as i get paid on a monthly basis and track it through my inverter app and Octopus app. Maybe i need...

That’s some serious saving a lot of you 1%ers made. How did you manage that though? I presume its all based on your previous usage? during the saving sessions we used a lot less as we used the battery and also exported at the same time but when compared with what we normally use at the same...

I see there are plenty of threads and issues with regards to the sliding cover on the centre console, and we have a similar issue. however I am wondering if anyone has removed the mechanism so you can only manually move it back and forth? This would seem the best option for this cover, as the...

I'll be heading to the showroom soon for a service appointment AGAIN, so i will check when im there and report back.

the addition of the bournemouth Supercharger was only added to the Tesla charge network map quite recently a Bridport was going to be the first in Dorset. We lack quite a lot here in dorset, no Motorways, not many areas with decent broadband, 4G/5G is awful unless your in one of the larger...

Anyone have any news on the Bridport Supercharger? it did state completion Q1 2024, but now states completion 2024. No idea where that is going to be. I also see there is meant to be one coming in 2024 to Bournemouth, again no idea where that will be. Maybe at the Tesla Showroom/SC? Apologies i...

Is anyone experiencing similar issues with any other device or car? I have mentioned it previously but my iphone (With Sky Mobile) has issues in certain locations. Annoying in my local town I have full 4G signal but nothing loads, a very similar issue with the Tesla. I don’t have any experience...

Mine is on and off at present. A week can go by and be fine, but then another week I have to reset multiple times. I haven’t heard anything since my last call with a "manager" from Tesla. I currently have an open service request for a few other things, but i will also ask again and push for a...

If this is the second hand EV specialist i think it is, I dont think you will get anywhere as they do not warrant wheels or tyres after it has left their premises. I had an issue when I picked mine up where the TPMS valves were leaking. They wouldnt even entertain changing them. Another issue i...

The fact he comes from a big petrol head world made this better for me. Yes he doesnt know all the ins and outs of Teslas like the details he includes with Jags, BMWs etc as he is more into the mainstream cars, but Harry was the editor for Evo magazine so knows cars and how to handle / review...

A decent review by one of the greatest car reviewers. Loads of good points and I think the bad points are quite fair to be honest.

From what i found when pourchasing my Tesla Model S, you cant access serice history for second hand cars. On my MS i can only see service history from when i owned it, nothing before. Tesla blame it on GDPR informaiton, however if the information is related to the car only it shouldnt be an...

what is TeslaMate? im keen to try this. thank you.

Resolved. Myself being a dumb ass and the app not being that clear. Didn’t realise I had to select the model and charger before going any further. 🤦

My octopus app will not go past the “You’re on the Intellegent Octopus Go Tarrif” but won’t go any further (connect device, add virtual key or test connection) but the devices tab still isn’t in the app and the octopus app didn’t request any reconnect through Tesla either.

When I spoke to the “manager” the more data they recieve the easier it is to help resolve the issues. So I would urge everyone who is having issues to take photos and provide the exact location where it happened. The more logs they receive and more evidence hopefully it will speed things up.

I raised another service request on it last month as it was 4 months from when it started happening, and the same response from the remote engineers. I asked for this to be escalated and i did actually receive a call from his manager, and explained in a bit more detail but still with no ETA on...

See we were there on the sunday and it sucked. Not much and didnt fany visiting poundland or McD's! the intention was for all of this to be paid for, no different to what happens at a petrol station. In amny years time, when / if electric is the norm, where can we get the tyres inflated...

I have completed a few longer runs over the past few months, and used Superchargers during the trips, and thought of a few ideas for improving the stations. been at a few at tesla showrooms, hotels, random colleges/restuarants: 1. Include Air/Water machines (normal at petrol stations, which i...

Same email here but also having issues using the app when trying to set up the schedule “status code 429” and also starting to charge has been pulling similar errors….maybe not octopus but Tesla connectivity issues?

this section of the explaination of the change seems to imply that EVs registered between 1st April 2027 and 1st April 2018 will pay the £10 tax rater, and after April 208 will pay the standard annual rate? taken from here: (Introduction of Vehicle Excise Duty for zero emission cars, vans and...

Whats this about a free camera upgrade? any way to see what cars are eligible?

The update finally came through last night...Took the kids to school this morning and spotify played two songs then would skip or select anything else. go to the home screen for spotify and stating cannot connect....Not the update we were hoping for. How long can this go on for as this has been...

Just checked and no update available on mine. Still on 2022.8.10.16. Do they slowly release the update to subsets of cars or all at once?

What model do you have and which MCU? A friend of mine has an X that gets no signal at all, since he has had it. This could be his issue.

Mugged off response from Tesla, and the service request closed straight away! "Hi Thank you for you contacting Tesla. The reported concern has been linked with a firmware bug which our engineering team are currently investigating. They will send out an updated firmware revision once they have...

I just raise another service request asking for an update. I will also email back the customer services email regarding this as it’s been almost 6 months with poor connectivity.

I had high hopes this issue was resolved as the drive to and from the Tesla SC (16 mles away) didnt throw up any issues. Spotify played perfectly and navigation was no issue either. Driving around at the weekend no issues...However this morning's drive to work (Only 5 miles away) spotify wouldnt...

Driving to the service center this morning there were no drop outs in connectivity or issues with spotify, navigation, map tiles not loading, etc. so fingers crossed it is better now. I will go a long way home and see if there are any drop outs.

Same here. there are a few Taycans where i live, a very nice blue and a grey one, both cross turismos. I would love you have one, but they rear seats arent really big enough for 3 people (2 child seats either side with one adult in between is our usual scenario) and the boot is nothing compared...

I have mainly been using wifi hotspotting from my phone on longer journeys. I have it set as an automation so i forget its on wifi most of the time. Next time i do a longer trip greater than 5 miles from home i will turn off hotspot and see what happens. I have a SC booking this friday for a...

Im still having issues....drove to london and back over the weekend and kept dropping out so used hotspot most of the time. Then did another trip yesterday to Hereford and back and stil dropping out so on Hotspot. used my Data for the month on the phone so had to roll some back onto my account...

Not everyone likes SUVs/Cross overs though, and thats the problem at the moment for people like me. For me there is only 1 positive for SUV's/crossovers and thats the getting in and out of the car. the other benefits people state like "driving view" is null and void when everyone drives one or...

I only recently moved to the MS, from a long running ownership of estate (wagon) cars, from Ford Mondeo's and Volvo's, to Jaguar Xf's. I love the space an esate gives, but in electric cars there arent really any contendors with decent space and quality. Here in the UK we have the MG estate which...

Embarissingly, after a closer inspection i found a black mini pen slid to the left and caught in the crevice where the hinge is that was stopping it opening properly! that pen has now been thrown in the bin never to see the light of day again.

I still have warranty but cannot sort out a service request for a few weeks as im busy out an about. It will be mid feb until i get around to raising it and having availability. I was hoping at may be a "oh yea the arm gets lodged, just give it a wiggle" kind of thing which i can rectify quickly...

Over the past few weeks the glovebox has failed to open properly. It unlocks and pops down about 5mm away from the dash, but then you have to get your fingers inbetween it to pull it down. Has this happened to anyone and is it a simple fix? I am wondering if my son kicked it too hard when he was...

I’ll try that next time too. However it’s still awkward going on hotspot and off again. I have the automation running now so may be easier, a simple tap on the screen.

i find if you raise another request in the same message thread that works too. i had to do that a few months ago and they resolved both at the same time.

Tesla can be so full of BS when they dont know the extent of the issues. A lot of head in the sand to be honest. He explainewd to me most of the southern region, Bristol, South Wales, and parts of London. I had the message this morning stating "as per our call yesterday i have closed the...

Received a call from my local Tesla SC today...a bit of progress but doesnt sound too promising for me. Apparently there are two issues: 1. EE service, expecially in the shouther regions of the UK are to blame for most of the connectivity issues. Apparently this will be resolved by the end of...
