She was too high maintenance 🤣

Just to clarify, the vehicle is sat at the auction house and hasn’t moved since Monday morning. Hypothetically.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were to still have app access to your car as the lease company had failed to remove your account and you noticed that the car had been sat with the battery charged to 100% for 2 days at the auction company.

Yes, I'm sure the diligent people at the lease company will remove my car and that will revoke the token Teslamate is using. 😧 Something to be aware of when buying an ex-lease from auction but I don't know how you could check it had been removed as the new owner.

The big day has arrived. Model 3 is soon being collected by Auction Co after the end of my lease. I have factory reset and removed phone keys from the car. I have removed my payment details from my Tesla account. The car is not visible in my dashboard as it's a lease so no car to remove. I can...

I’ll be shortly returning my M3 to Tusker after a 2 year lease. Anyone have any experience with returning a lease to Tusker? How stringent are they? Also any tips on the process for resetting the vehicle i.e removing my account from the car & app as I’m not the actual owner. Hope I don’t have...

Put it in Camp mode. Unless you’re travelling with a 70s comedian they’re unlikely to take offence.

As an SR+ owner, I’m taking offence that this has descended in to a discussion about milk floats.

We had a day or so when it reached a balmy 4 degrees, but it’s mainly been around zero during the daytime.

My stats from last 7 days from Teslamate: Asleep: 84% Online: 14% Charging: 1.75% Driving: 0.85%

This company sounds like what you’re after. They did a video recently on Fully Charged+ IIRC he mentions you can use your own insurance or theirs.

So you only could know this after the event. Perhaps they can’t charge at home? No way of knowing people’s circumstances. Should have given them the benefit of the doubt especially as you were just looking for a top up and not desperate.

No. But if he needed to charge, he needed to charge. Should maybe have stayed with the vehicle but perhaps he needed to pee.

The only innocent party here is the jag driver. How do you know he wasn’t desperate to charge to continue his journey? He wasn’t blocking anyone in, you were.

Just updated to 2020.48.10 and now getting a warning that the dashcam USB is too small. Says it needs to be 32Gb or larger. It hasn’t had a problem with my 32Gb card up until now. I haven’t tested if it still records yet though.

I got 2 sets too! I was wondering if they’d sent front & rear but no looks like a cockup. I will see if they get in touch to ask for them back otherwise eBay. I doubt they’ll fetch much as I suspect there’ll be plenty on offer if this has happened to others.

Not visited in person to verify, but...

Teslabjorn briefly mentions this in his recent video about the Xpeng G3. https://youtu.be/EW9S3LbDWxw (Skip to 4:30) He says this car (G3) and Tesla are the only cars he’s aware of that state the fixed range at 100%. All others are GOM based on recent usage.

Tyre/engine noise can be drowned out by the wind when you’re cycling fast so a loud noise behind you is surprising. It’s a natural reaction to ‘jump’ at unexpected loud noises. Not pleasant when your cycling at speed.

“Designed to suit you” :D

A 12 year old Seat Altea 2.0 diesel. Definitely a leap rather than a hop.

Aberdeen is waiting on work to be done by SSE which is also delaying the SC opening. 3-4 weeks is the estimate I was given.

My plan has always been to have the 2 year lease and then go back to more modest motoring. Love the car but it’s just too much (for me) to spend. Still got another 12 months but I think at this stage I won’t be getting another Tesla. One things for sure, I won’t be going back to ICE. Just...

Aberdeen SuC update

Toilets out of order?

I assume you mean West, not much to the East of Thurso! My last trip to Thurso, I couldn’t get a charge at Scrabster and the one at Park Hotel was out of order (working now according to Zap-Map) so this is more than welcome! CPS are great when they work but just too unreliable.

Username checks out.

Same here. Just ignore the amount. I have mine set on ‘Now’ just to see the instant usage in KWh. Never really related to the real world value of a KWh until I got an EV. Now every time I boil the kettle I’m thinking how far a cup of tea will take me.

I recently did a trip north from Aberdeen - Black Isle (no public charger at all), Dornoch then Thurso. Very mixed experience with CPS. All were free but some did not work: Scrabster Harbour Inverness St Andrews Cathedral Dingwall Successful charges at: Inverness- Raigmore Hospital Dornoch...

My switch has taken ‘a bit’ longer. Switched to Octopus on 6th October at the same time I ordered my M3, requested Go tariff on the 26th October. I’m still not there yet but very close as they’re getting half-hour readings but ‘something needs fixing on their end’. It’s been a saga (too long to...

Where’s my free car?

Are you in the car with her at the time or does it happen even when she’s alone?

Did the new company manage to get the Smart meter working?

Same here. I requested a smart meter install in October 2019. I now have the meter but it was only smart for 2 days. So still waiting for Go tariff after 9 months. I thought waiting for the car would be the longest part of the whole experience!

It’s just Aberdeen City at the moment but more LA’s will follow: Electric vehicle charging points | Aberdeen City Council Aberdeenshire are proposing charges from March 2022: End of the road for free electric car charging in Aberdeenshire, if plans approved | Press and Journal

I don’t know if this is being introduced Scotland wide or just by local authority but in Aberdeen charges will apply from 1st June. 38p Connection Fee, 19p/KWh which is inline with Dundee and Orkney. This seems fair and should stop hoggers. Folk without home charging may disagree. No sign of...

This looks really good. Did you find any guides to customising the views or did you just figure it out yourself?

No. Not alone. Same happened to me. Keep expecting to have the update available message when I get in the car for the weekly shop.

+1 for camp mode

Yes you’re right. I’ll get my coat.

Schedule is set on the car & the charger has my off-peak tariff info. It is a ChargedEV charger but the software/backend is Kaluza. Image is last 24hrs from TeslaMate. Green is asleep, yellow is charging, blue is online.

Your friend simply needs to change his name.

I don’t have a Zappi but my charger only makes itself available during low carbon or off-peak periods (can be overridden) and also suffered from car not waking to receive a charge. I had to manually override the charger when plugging in which seemed to announce to the car that power was...

Smart meter installed on Wednesday morning. The in home display worked fine displaying electric usage until Thursday evening. Now it’s just “Waiting for data” and then restarting. The WAN light blinks but HAN light is off on the meter. Is this just typical unreliable behaviour? Also there was no...

Public CCS fails more often than it works for me. But the rare occasions it has worked just go to show it’s the shoddy public infrastructure rather than the car (or the scheduled charging which I also have enabled).

Irony overload.

Only the first one. My dash cam has started working. I had e-call warnings prior to 2020.8 but not since.

My RPi Zero has given up the ghost too. Strangely it works for sentry but when you start driving I get the dash cam with an ‘x’ symbol. The light on the Pi flashes rapidly indicating a fault. I have re-imaged but still no joy.
