This is why I charged on the 11kw posts at the visitor center. Worked well while my daughter went on the adventure play park!

Watching! Might have the same issue

Just to confirm having just visited the whole place is live and zero queues today at midday on a busy bank holiday. Gridserve on the other hand was busy and had staff on hand to manage queues. Only issue I could forsee is people blocking the Tesla chargers waiting for a Gridserve

To be fair the apps arnt free to produce and maintain so maybe consider buying a sub to support them if they’re useful enough for you. 22kw AC for thr win here as I just bought a 2019 type 2 only R110 Renault Zoe 😂 as a second car. But I’ve usefully charged at 11kw in various places on the...

You’ll only pull a max of 11kw on AC with an M3. More than that needs DC via a rapid. Of course you can make this work for you - eg if you’re spending a day trip find a destination charger and do it that way.

I’d get the 12v checked… or maybe even proactively replaced

Still don’t think I’ve ever had IO offer me a non standard charge time period. More complicated now though as I have a PW and it doesn’t play brilliantly nicely ie if IP wants to charge outside of regular times it will dump the PW which I don’t want.

I suspect perhaps an inaccurate GPS fix if it’s in a big metal shed, given what you said about mileage

There can be a big loss to the leasing company so some schemes do do this if the employee chooses to leave - the business is essentially left paying a lease for multiple years otherwise

I can’t speak to the MY, and I’ve not spent lots of time in an M3LR, but I’ve been very pleased with the performance of my LFP 22 model year M3. Rhe battery charging speed has only been a problem once (which was mainly my fault trying to charge at 45% from cold just after I got it), when...

I’d say the Tesla is potentially worth it just for the button which opens the charge port

To be fair as these are exclusive I kinda think that’s only fair… need enoigh capacity for everyone, and the DNO connection will have a limit.

Note that I had mine done but the steering offset was all wrong. I suspect given this needs accessing of the gateway etc etc most places are not kitted out to do it. Was quoted €250 by Florence to do it so might be worth querying that price

Apollo Polegate? They’re my nearest approved body shop so hoping my insurer will consider them. Sadly I don’t think the damage will T cut out. Insured with Churchill. Hope they’re half ok.

Well as someone who needs to send his TM3 in for body work following a fault prang it’s mildly terrifying! What should I be saying to my insurance? Insisting on a Tesla Approved body shop presumably?

1A/B SUC down at Calais Le Shuttle terminal, for me earlier - never commenced a charge. Tried a different bank and it refused to pull more than 47kw. Got to 20% and then went o the ionity norrhbound on the other side, as I didn’t want to miss the train waiting. Don’t think it was the car as...

Currently in Switzerland having gone Uk France Belgium france Switzerland Italy! - get the Electroverse card for charging on non SUC. Their app will locate a charger for you which is on the scheme. We found plenty - plenty of 11kw destination chargers, meaning this is a convenient option -...

We are poorly serviced for rapid capacity in Sussex right now, so this would be really good news. At the moment the only SUC is at the Crawley service centre, I think 8 stalls, and not very convenient. I wonder if this Pease Pottage location represents Brighton on the Tesla map (which has been...

Tesla Plan / Octo Flux group on FB indicating people are now getting export enabled if you specifically ask Tesla, say you’re on flux, and provide DNO sign off to them… so think that is changing now.

Confirmed on highway autopilot, lane departure assistance etc all back working. Anyone know how likely bodywork is to write of an M3? Gonna need front and rear quarter panel, new rear door, possibly a new front bumper (minor damage but plastic is never good to fix). Would prefer if it...

Went to local shop - steering was well out of alignment, unsurprisingly, but one of the suspension arms is bent and obviously they can’t fix that. It is however driving a lot better. Was still throwing errors, so did a steering offset reset as it was clearly unhappy, which has seemed to re...

This is what I was thinking, if anything is immediately seriously wrong / dangerous it will likely be obvious - so better just to check that. Interesting point about the alignment. I guess we will have to ask them and see in my Italianish. Sigh. Slightly worried the car is a write off - even...

Haha yeah, that’d be great if I’d had the chance to buy any 🤦 Thanks, needed a bit of encouragement, will do that, and then try the begging. If bent and not possible, I can have my ins co recover, I’m fully covered, it’ll just screw up the holiday somewhat. Also have euro breakdown cover, but...

Thanks, have not, don’t really know how to do that. Have tried the service request in the app - they can book me into Florence but not for a week - not ideal for a quick check. But could do 4 wheel alignment (at a cost!) Have found a tyre place up the road which does 4 wheel alignment -...

Currently on holiday in Tuscany, sadly have had a prang, doing some damage to the side of my car, and it’s taken a knock to the front left, and some scrapes etc. After initially throwing a bit of a wobbly, it is drivable, but is pulling to the left a bit. So need it checked ASAP to make sure...

can you come back and let us know if they do accept you? I’ve emailed with no response, have gone with BG as a result. 6.4p/kWh. I hear they all don’t actually want “brown” power just some seem to be more militant about it. I am wondering if o had just submitted to SP, and not mentioned it...

I’ve seen some success on a Facebook group for TEP of people emailing Tesla and asking for export to be enabled on their account, so worth a go

Thanks for the reminder - doing Sussex to Italy in May; my headlights are also a bit off, have requested a service. A friend recommended getting the pass for the motorways in France to avoid having to stop at the toll roads as it’s a pain having to try and pay on the wrong side. eurotunnel...

100% agree with this

Personally don’t think it is planned….

Perfect thanks - we’ve only had it installed since beginning of Jan, so i guess not had any predictably good days. Wasn’t sure if you needed to be in self powered mode. So thanks for confirming!

Hi all, Got a recently installed PW2 plus 3.2kw solar array. I’m on a time of use tarriff with Octopus Energy with a cheap rate between 23:30 and 05:30 (7.5p Vs 40.7p), I’m located in the UK. I’m trying to get my head around what the expected behaviour from the powerwall when in time based...

Totally agree. Seems to be how I get in / out of the car puts pressure on the mat. I plan to move to all weather mats as it’s diving me nuts.

Pretty sure Gridserve are also finding the same? WB only want to put in their own chargers…

It’s gonna complain at you if you do that and keep shifting the charge limit back up to 100% I. My experience. I’ve regularly charged to 100% (2-3 times a week minimum). Currently seeing 266 miles of the original 272 after 7800 miles. Don’t think based on this thread it makes much difference.

Ah sorry to hear that. Was expecting Feb as that’s what I’ve been told. Still not going to believe it until it’s on site… for starters getting a shipment in between Christmas and new years has significant opportunity to go wrong!

Just for those waiting, I ordered my PW in April, installer called today saying it’s due in between Christmas and new year and have booked install for 4th Jan. Regarding EPS for Tesla, they divert the incoming feed after the meter to the gateway, and then feed it back to the house via. The Zoe...

25.1 installed overnight for me. Such a relief to have Apple Music / nothing against Spotify but as an Apple Music user it knows my preferences so it’s massively easier for me to use.

The risk for me for Welcome Break of having their own Charging network is getting in trouble with competitions and markets authority for monopolisation. Atleast with Tesla there they can claim multi network. Equally you can see how they don’t want Tesla exclusive sites due to it driving away...

Cross climate 2s are the ones to beat (not sure of the compromise you talk of?). Vrededstein Quatrac very good too by all accounts.

I would really really like them to open the SC site at Taunton as it would make my life a lot easier. Sadly I think it’s been on the coming soon list for years so I’m doubtful it’s anything other than an aspiration at this point! So personally I would not read too much into it.

Just to confirm my Ohme charger integrated Octopus seems to work fine; I wonder if the issue is with you having been on the Tesla integration before. I’d email Octopus.

Between 267 and 273 March SR+ LFP. Getting about 4.5m/kwh

I’ve noticed since .6 that it’s slower to recognise the phone on approach to the car and allow me to open the doors vs before. Also slower to wake the car from the app on occasion (but not all the time) too. So not just you.

Thanks for this, was just the kind of feedback I was looking for. I figured it would be ok but worth checking.

I promise I will consider it but I’m not sure I can pull the plate off unfortunately. Still interested in answer to original question :)

Not sure I can pull the number plate. And not sure it’s worth it for probably a couple of hundred (if I can smart repair) as it’ll impact my insurance

Anyone know how well Smart paint repair works on M3 paint? (Specifically the metallic blue). Through to the primer in parts but doesn’t seem to have damaged the door fortunately (no dent) Other half left the car in the highest traffic spots at the supermarket to get lunch, and of course...

They’re now directly integrated with the charger, and the charger is aware of Intelligent. So you no longer use the Octopus app if you have an Ohme charger and the charger app does it instead. I know this was different than before where it was the other way around. I changed the target on the...

I’ve literally just signed up for Intelligent today as our Go prices where coming to an end at the end of the month (didn’t really want to switch today but the app indicated it wouldn’t happen until I test charged and then changed me over anyway) However I am using an Ohme Home Pro. I’ve just...
