    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Hi all, really enjoying the discourse about this new charging site. Will be interesting to see it when it’s done and solve the mystery of Tesla vs EG group. Some more photos taken today, you can see the spaces dug out for the supercharger, and they’ve filled in the road (not pictured) between...

    Charging Renault Zoe with a Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector

    Hi All, Thanks for your advice, greatly appreciate it. My son's Zoe has arrived, however we are unable to get it to charge on the gen 2 wall connector, despite setting the dip switch 2 to “legacy mode”. The neighbours MG EV charges successfully, as does my Model 3. The Zoe does charge...

    Hi All, My son is purchasing his first EV (a Renault Zoe R135), and I am struggling to find any info online regarding Zoe's and their ability to charge at home with a Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector which we already use for my Model 3. Does anyone know if this is something that would work, as the...

    M3LR Hankook Tyres Replacement For Similar Continental Tyres

    I have the original Hankook tyres 235/40R/ 96W T0 that came with the 19" Sport alloys on my M3 LR.Anyone know the equivalent Continental tyre version, please. Is it the Contact Sport 6 ? That has a 72 db rating.It does not seem to be the foam filled version I am looking for either.Thanks.

    Model 3 External Lighting Service Mode Please

    It would be great to have a service mode for the exterior lights.The service mode could apply all the lights sequentially whilst the driver can stand outside and check all the lights are functioning correctly.Rather than two people one inside the car operating and one outside checking.Useful for...

    Remote Starting Model 3 From The App

    Correct.I still believe however that if a second key phone holder has access to the start function but did not have access to the pin to drive four digit code then they theoretically could not start the car remotely (wherever the car maybe) without me giving (or allowing) that code to...

    Remote Starting Model 3 From The App

    If the phone happens to be unlocked (as mine often is) click on the app and remote start and drive …I thought the old app had finger recognition for remote driving within the app perhaps I am mistaken!

    Remote Starting Model 3 From The App

    I have the new app.The remote starting works within the app without a fingerprint scan.Did the remote start work with or without the finger print scan within the old app ? I cannot remember.Also is it safe that remote starting overrides pin to drive ? Surely pin to drive can be entered in the...

    Acceleration Boost £1.5k

    Buy the acceleration boost - enjoy for 48 hours - apply for the refund - you get the money back VERY quickly - play with car for a few days see what is WAS like and then re buy the acceleration boost again at least you would have a better informed choice the second time round !

    Directline insurance FSD and Acceleration Boost

    It’s the 0 to 60 bit which is great but does not seem to provide anything more than that really unless I am wrong.

    Directline insurance FSD and Acceleration Boost

    Did the same today.48 Hours refund available.£40 extra insurance based on apparently 50HP increase.The acceleration from 0 to 60mph on a private road is amazing.However i thought that acceleration from, say, a give way or roundabout would be faster however that's not the case without really...
