I checked the energy app and it said I’d used 0.5% less energy on the way back. Admittedly I didn’t check on the way out. And no, there was only 30 minutes between journeys so the weather was more or less the same

Because it might help explain higher consumption vs lower consumption!! For example. I’ve just been on a 4 mile trip. Outbound 200 w per mile. The trip back was just over 300 w per mile. How does that work???? Same route both ways, minimal traffic and elevation. In fact I was using chill mode...

But that’s the thing isn’t it. On an ICE you could see the temperature of the oil to know when your car is running more efficiently. On a Tesla it’s just a case of it will warm up in time, but how much time, I know it depends on the weather etc, but it would be good to know what the current...

Preconditioning sucks the life out of my battery. Why don’t Tesla show battery temp?

When I had a car with an engine, you would know that fuel economy would improve in line with oil and water temp. You could also monitor the temps on the dashboard. In my M3 LR, the early part of my journey tends to be really high kW/mile which levels out over time, I’m assuming this is as the...

Yeah thanks tried this and it worked. I never take my key card out either so just a little bit worrying!!

Never had any problems with the Tesla app until now, for no discernible reason, the app doesn’t bother locking the car when I walk away or opening the car when I’m next to it. No recent software updates on car or iPhone 13 How easy is this to fix? Is it the old reset everything and hope for...

After being quoted minimums of £1300 to £1500 Co-op essentials came in at just over £800 via comparison website money supermarket. I’ve snapped their hand off. And apparently there’s no additional charge and I don’t need to declare if I upgrade to acceleration boost at any time!!! Madness. But...

Anyone looked at amending the valuation of the car? I valued mine at £35k but when I ran the numbers through a comparison site it valued the car at £22k and gave a quote of £850. When I adjusted the value up to £35k my quote came back at £1,200 (although from a different insurance provider)...

Tried various avenues but admiral are the least expensive of the better known insurers. Thinking of upping the excess to bring cost down and then using excess protection insurance. Any recommendations?

I was with direct line, paid £950 last year but have been quoted over £1,550 this year. Just got off the phone to them and they have no room to manoeuvre. I’ve had a quote from admiral for £1,330 - does anyone know if this is negotiable? Good job I’m saving a fortune on ‘fuel’ although my...

Mine seems to be bubbling slightly, near to where my left hand is (at 9 o’clock) Anyone else had this problem? Model 3 LR

Is that 200 miles one way or round trip? It makes a big difference if it’s each way!

2021 M3LR New update has lead to me losing autopilot which I think has been brought on due to the camera not currently seeing any vehicles (it just sees the lines on the road) Anyone else had the same? I’m in the middle of a camera calibration but not done enough miles yet to complete grr

I’m sure I’m getting 11kWh using the blue charger that came with the car from my 3 phase charger
