**Update** Tesla solved this. Finally got through to an extremely helpful Tesla customer service person who was surprised the other two found it so hard. Email my Tesla account asking for permission to merge the "other" account with mine and copy of photo ID. 5 min later car was in my account...

Yes, its the email address that is wrong and Its the "joebloggs@" part that is wrong (missing a letter). Currently on hold (at the 53rd min) trying to see if there are any other solutions. I have tried to set up that email, but someone already owns it (and in theory has been offered an account...

I'm looking for some tips if anyone has been in my situation. I bought a second hand model 3 from a reputable dealer a couple weeks ago, but we have been having major issues getting the car into my Tesla account. After having spoken to Tesla Customer Service, it turns out the dealer made a...

I'm coming up on a year in my M3 without a home charger (or off street parking). But I do have a (free) chargeplace Scotland rapid charger a 5 min walk away that I rely on. I also only use car for business trips (when those were still a thing), weekends and holidays. With covid I only put just...

Also the thread of the rest of route here is My North Coast 500 summary

Still around lurking, but not posting as much... The chargeplace Scotland chargers are variable, but never been left out. I don't have a charger at home, so rely on them. But, due to less travel for work (covid), haven't used many outside the central belt. So, I haven't been up NC500 way in a...

We did the NC500 in a SR+ last year. If it helps, here is my post on the trip when returned. Top tip for the islands is plan to charge at ferry ports. Many have chargeplace Scotland chargers. My North Coast 500 summary

It has also been pointed out elsewhere that as of the new year there are a number of new "superchargers coming in 2020" across the UK. In Scotland this now includes; A new one larger in Edinburgh, Fort William, Aberdeen, Inverness, Stirling, and Berwick upon Tweed (Not technically Scotland). It...

My vote is all in, I'm aware of the highlands council, and in particular Oban, making switches to electric fleets. I'm in Edinburgh but travel extensively through the highlands and have never had a problem, and only have a SR+ There are plenty of chargers both throughout the Highlands and on...

No didn't try to charge to full... that last 10-20% really slows down and we we're usually charging over a meal, or something shortish. 80% was our go-to charge for all the chargers other than when we left (91%) and the last morning (95%) which is the longest section without a charger. In...

There wasn't as much traffic as we were expecting, and over the whole route we only passed 1 group of super cars traveling together. It could have been that it was the last week of the tourist season. A few places told us they were closing for winter after this week. One problem was hired...

Yes I did... Sorry to hear you dont have it... :( Spotify also added wth V10 and works over the car's data. Not that the car's data was always reliable in the highlands.

I won't list the ones I wouldn't reccomend but the two I'd reccomend (due to quality and proximity to charger) are The Torridon Inn in Torridon and Croft View Chalets in Melvich You can see the Charge Place Scotland charger statuses in on the Charge Place Scotland website. Its a whorrible...

Photos... Beautiful Car, Beautiful Country

We stayed at the Torrindon Inn... There isn't much else there. You are allowed to use the destination charger if you are eating at their restaurant/pub. But its only a 7kw Charger.
