    SOLD OBD Splitter - £10 posted Used to have two OBD devices plugged in and working at the same time – I had an OBD Link and a S3XY Buttons Commander device both plugged in as the early version of the S3XY Buttons Commander didn’t support ScanMyTesla. Great condition and perfect working order.

    SOLD Model 3 & Y Steering Wheel Weight - £12 posted Used to great effect to stop the annoying ‘hold wheel’ nagging when using autopilot. In great condition and perfect working order. However I don’t do many motorway miles anymore so it’s not much use to me anymore.

    UK and Ireland Marketplace - For Sale / Wanted / Free

    SOLD Brake caliper covers for Tesla Model 3 (may fit Model Y but I couldn’t be sure and I wouldn’t know how to check). Used for approx. 20k miles before I decided to paint the original calipers instead. Used without any issues and quite liked the look of the larger calipers to be honest. They...

    SOLD Official Rimetrix wheel trims, used for approx. 20k miles before I decided to powder coat the original alloys instead. 2 of the trims have kerb scuff marks/damage (not noticeable over 10ft away to be honest) however the other 2 are in great condition.

    SOLD Abstract Ocean Hidden Storage Tray for Model 3 & Y (gen. 2 centre console 2021 onwards) - £10 posted Used for a couple of months but now I store some bigger bits and pieces in the centre console so this isn't useful anymore. Good condition and all works as intended. It is handy for...

    Upgrade center console lights

    I didn't and I've moved on tbh now, although it would be nice if it was brighter in there. The glovebox and rear centre console lights I just pried out with a trim tool, getting them out is hard but pushing the new brighter abstract ocean ones back in is easy. I upgraded all door puddle...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I found the app got confused easily. I got that error message and had to clear the app data and cache in my phone settings to get rid of it. It's also confusing as a step, if you've asked/consented to switch to IO already (say on your computer browser) then that orange step in the app (after...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    At risk of having a conversation with myself, but hoping it is useful for anyone finding this thread who is in the same boat as me... I've tried to check the above by speaking with Octopus on Twitter and they've said there isn't a 30 day window as such (contrary to their own T&Cs - which tbf are...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I think I've found the answer to my own question, the terms and conditions (I had to hunt to find them as I've had no comms from octopus since asking to switch) state that if you do not download the IO app in 30 days, or you do not have an active authorisation for 30 days then they can kick you...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I decided to make the jump early to IO last night following the morning news of an even higher price cap than expected (49p/kWh up from current 28p now seems possible even probable!?) I had already been using Guy Lipman's blogged Octopus smart meter data website to compare my current tariff to...

    IFTTT with TeslaFi to soak up excess solar generation?

    Bear with me, I think I've stumbled across a good idea... So I'm considering a solar install shortly. I'll be installing a battery as part of this but like the idea of 'soaking up' excess solar generation to charge my M3LR when it is on the drive during the day. I know the Zappi and Hypervolt...

    2022.20

    Yes, my android phone bluetooth phone call connection 'broke' with the .16 update and my wife's iphone bluetooth phone call connection broke with .20. Unpairing, forgetting each device on both the phone and the car. Restarting the phones and car and re-pairing appears to have fixed it.

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I've been following the thread and I don't think I've seen the answer to this (but apologies if mentioned)... Reading the Octopus pages it seems Intelligent Octopus could be used alongside Outgoing Octopus - is this correct? If so, this is a significant potential benefit for small domestic...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    On this point, another question I pondered, could you not do an Intelligent charge once on sign up just to activate the account and then revert to your old Go ways and simply schedule your charge 'normally' in between the longer off peak hours of 23:30-05:30?

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    This is well timed and helpful, thanks, I've recently been looking at Intelligent for when my currently favourable Go rates end... One question I have which I can't see an answer to, does anyone know if you can set up an Intelligent tariff at another property/account using a Tesla already...

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    This is good to know from a selfish point of view. I'm kinda thinking that the softlock should make ours look better from a perceived degredation point of view as time rumbles on... As we're never fully stressing the battery with a full charge.

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    Mine is a Dec 2020 LR MY21 made in Fremont. I'm 99% sure I've got an old (but good) 78kWh Panasonic battery, softlocked to 75kWh to match the newer albeit inferior LG packs which appeared on the continent the following quarter. I've all but confirmed this via Scanmytesla. Highest range...

    Windscreen calibration

    I've gone through exactly this recently. 3 people from Tesla (1 in writing) said the in software camera calibration the user can trigger in service menu is perfectly adequate following a windscreen replacement. The manual confirms this too I believe. This is a relatively recent software addition...

    mobile phone audio

    I've had something similar happen twice with my Oneplus 7 Pro and my LR 2021. Had to delete Bluetooth profiles of phone from car and car from phone, restart both and then re-pair to cure it. Mine was a little different in that car would pair to phone happily when I got in but a phone call would...

    UK RHD Model 3 Wiper Blades

    @Cnixon How did you get on with fitting and quality when in use? @Jeeves Any issues with the shorter blade? Sounds like fitting was fine, no incorrect 'aerodynamic spoiler' orientations like I've seen mentioned previously re. aerotwins? Winter is coming and new wiper blades seem to be...

    Type 2 charging cable

    Type 2 charging cable

    That link/photo is the one I ordered. It simply turned up with the right number of wires/a different version from the picture. I was slightly concerned with the picture too but all worked out fine. Drop Erwin (the owner) an email confirming you need 4 wires and it's for a PodPoint shortly before...

    Type 2 charging cable

    @Katic1972 and @spooksman What @LukeUK said above. I bought a Tesla button pigtail cable for my PodPoint from EVChargeKing and installed it onto my tethered PodPoint. I mentioned to EVChargeKing that it was for a PodPoint in an email (but I'm not convinced that mattered) and a 4 wire cable...

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    Word to the wise, using a flat trim tool is a bad idea, as if you slip it still scratches (although probably not as bad a screwdriver). Also top tip I realised afterwards, pry in between the fake wheel nuts, as those are where the gaps between the center cap clips are too, and it comes out...

    Nope they've definitely stopped, if you contact them they suggest a shipment forwarding service. They must have stopped just a week or two after I ordered mine to the UK. Hope I don't need replacements anytime soon!

    2021 M3 powered boot closure behaviour

    I've seen several posts on a model 3 UK Facebook group describing the exact same issue with follow ups that SC fixed them so I'm confident what we/I'm describing is a 'thing', rather than 'within spec'... ho hum

    2021 M3 powered boot closure behaviour

    The 2021 powered boot close I used to experience is like the one in the second half of your video yes, if anything I would have said the clinch was even more seamless than yours, i.e. without the half second delay before clinching - which probably makes the issue harder to spot. When I dropped...

    2021 M3 powered boot closure behaviour

    Just to add an update to this, mine is currently in the SC for a long list of issues (Dec 20 delivery car, yay!) but this boot close was something the service rep was aware of and had had another car in with the same issue recently (and they fixed it, she mentioned a sensor recalibration maybe)...

    Model 3 Window Tints

    I used LA Modz in Smethwick for my window tints (2021 M3 so no need for chrome delete) as someone recommended them on a Facebook group, they were admittedly cheap (£260 for whole rear of car) but I would urge you to avoid them. Although they did the whole rear window in one piece, they managed...

    2021 M3 powered boot closure behaviour

    I experienced the exact same thing a month or so ago. I thought my mind was playing tricks until I read a post on a Facebook group almost identical to yours and then someone else commented with the same thing. 2021 M3 LR (mines a Dec 20, but the Facebook posters were Q1 and Q2 2021). Both of the...

    Tesla 3 point charge cable waterproof?

    Rimetrix wheel covers to replace Aero's

    A good idea, thanks, but it was more to gauge how visible the brake calipers are with this particular hub cap. I don't have the covers on the car yet either tbh so no base pictures.

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    Amazing, thank you. Yeah I was looking at caliper covers for that reason - make them stand out a bit more. I think that wheel/brake combo looks awesome. Rest of your car looks pretty cool too, love that rear diffuser. Cheers.

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    Bit of a stretch but wondered if anyone had pictures of the black orbital covers with red performance brakes (or red painted calipers, or red caliper covers) behind them? Can't picture them, but think they would look good and thinking about that combo on my car... so ideally with 2021 (i.e...
