    [UK] Spring Software Update

    For you…Suffolk & good. For the rest…Norfolk & chance.

    Intelligent Octopus Go - Gas Options

    There are quite a few sites on the web with historical Tracker (and Agile) data, even for a whole year. Examples are https://mysmartenergy.uk/Tracker/North-Wales,-Merseyside-and-Cheshire and Octopus Tracker Tariff Unit Rates for Today and Tomorrow | Octoprice but there are others. There are...

    Tesla Phone Key

    I'd be prepared to believe that. In fairness, with so many more Android phones and manufacturers then it's understandable.

    Tesla Phone Key

    It's not just your phone, according to the poll posted earlier (How Far Away Does Your Phone Key Work to Unlock ?) then ~20% of responders had an Android phone and could unlock a car-length away or more. No idea whether it's an Android or Samsung issue, when I mentioned it in passing at a...

    Tesla Phone Key

    Seems like this is quite likely for a Samsung. There was a poll about this ages ago - How Far Away Does Your Phone Key Work to Unlock ?. Initially I didn't use the phone key for this very reason, instead used the phone like a keycard, but then convinced myself that with a bit of care then it's...

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    Strangely seemed to be re-offered 2024.8.7 yesterday evening. Already on 2024.8.7 but noticed the update icon in TeslaMate so woke the car up with the app, sure enough it said a software update was available and clicking the release notes showed it to be 2024.8.7 with an 'Already Installed'...

    usb audio pauses between songs

    How is the SSD powered ? If it’s from the USB port then is there definitely enough power for it ? Could be that the power is borderline so it’s effectively getting powered off for time, then when it gets enough power it’s as if it’s been re-inserted. When I got mine the recommendation seemed to...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    If it helps anyone regarding the offline/asleep issue...mine spent ~5 hours yesterday morning offline when I would've expected it to be asleep, it's been asleep the rest of the time (other than when being driven or awoken). This is with Teslamate 1.28.3 and car firmware 2024.2.8. Certainly not...

    Spotify - Tesla Account or Premium Account

    Strangely, due to the Tidal pricing changes I ended up with a Spotify Premium account. One other thing Tidal have done is to introduce a new £9 monthly charge to use it for DJ-ing (Spotify doesn’t support it anyway), although that might not affect people in the car too much. Previously was...

    I believe it's more common if you have these...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    No spurious wake-ups for me on 1.28.3, if it helps.

    [UK] 2024.2

    I've just installed 2024.2.6 and got something different to both of these (2022 Q1 M3 RWD)...

    [UK] 2024.2

    First drive in significant rain with 2024.2.3 and wipers worse than they've ever been for me, they've always been underwhelming but never had to use the manual button as much.

    Dashcam - help me understand its use

    Fairly sure I've got a long-press on the left scroll-wheel configured to save dashcam footage (in addition to the horn), for cases where something happens but you don't want to draw attention (or cause confusion) with the horn. Not sure I've ever used it, though, but think it's worth setting up.

    [UK] What we already knew - EV misinformation in press - it’s not gone unnoticed

    I’m looking forward to my annual petrol station visit, as it’ll mean it’s spring and thus needing petrol for the lawnmower. Pulling up at a pump in the Tesla can get a few funny looks, even when you pull the plastic can out, biggest problem is giving the grass it’s first mow without getting...
