    On our way to Italy

    God help us then if the AI has been “trained” by some of the idiot drivers I see on the roads!!!

    UK Aug 23 Insurance Recommendations

    And then whatever you do, DON’T even think about claiming if you have an incident driving into or out of the garage (that you don’t have lol!)

    First Big Trip - the good and the bad

    Thanks for your suggestion @Jason71. As far as the congestion charge is concerned, I didn’t have reason to go there. Dodging all the mad Deliveroo and UberEats bikers in Outer London was quite stressful enough! I don’t remember there being quite so many of them the last time I drove in the...

    First Big Trip - the good and the bad

    Having picked up my Tesla Model 3 RWD in December, this week saw me make my first big trip in it… to my son’s wedding in London! To be honest, we usually travel by train when we visit, but as that option is pretty unreliable at the moment, and as we had a lot of stuff to take with us (including...

    HyperVolt (error - no power)

    Really glad to find this thread today (not sure why I missed the earlier posts from Friday). Haven’t had reason to charge my car since last Sunday, when Hypervolt were experiencing problems with their app, which gave rise to a similar “no power” message on the Tesla app. When it happened again...

    Ovo UK - New EV Charge tariff

    Sorry @CWT3LR, only just caught up with this thread again. Thanks for the info. I had no idea Shell Energy were doing a “strategic review” - very interesting if indeed they do decide to pull out of retail energy supply. As already mentioned, I have already expressed an interest in this Ovo...

    Ovo UK - New EV Charge tariff

    I registered my interest soon after hearing about this tariff, but haven’t heard anything back from Ovo at all. I suspect it’s because I’m not an existing customer (although I was with them about three years ago, but currently with Shell Energy).

    Recommendation for recovery service

    Have been with Start Rescue for a few years now. Although I haven’t had to use them yet (thankfully) for any EV related issues, they came out to a tyre blowout I had years ago in a previous car, and recovered my wife’s car to a local garage of my choice when she accidentally managed to fill her...

    Ovo UK - New EV Charge tariff

    Thanks @AndyWarrington for bringing this new tariff to my attention. Have only had my Model 3 for just over a month and have been doing the maths to see if it was worthwhile me changing from my existing supplier (Shell) to one of the Octopus EV tariffs. As it stands, my usage is such that...

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    If it’s of any use, I picked mine up from Trafford Centre on Tuesday with 44% charge and arrived home in Blackpool with 19% (that was doing 70mph where possible on the motorways though and, to be fair, it was a tad warmer on Tuesday!)

    [uk] UltraSonic Sensors removal/TV replacement performance

    Just picked up my new M3 RWD today from Trafford Centre (bit of a nightmare trying to find the location, but that’s another story….) Obviously apprehensive about the no USS thing, but I was very pleasantly surprised at the clarity of the reversing camera, even though it was dark by the time I...

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    Yes, picking up mine on the 6th. Was offered 3rd Dec but only late-ish time slots and didn’t really want to drive home in the dark while getting used to a new car. And I’m working on the 5th, which was the other date offered.

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    I have a pick up scheduled on Dec 6th (from Trafford Centre). I DID get the message about having to accept no USS, but I haven’t paid extra for enhanced Autopilot, which would appear to scupper Aaron-TG’s second theory!

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    Sounds like a stack of delivery texts went out this afternoon! Got mine, pick-up Trafford Centre, Dec 6th. Good luck and fingers crossed for all those of you still waiting.
