I haven't tried that but I experienced some disappointment with TuneIn this morning. I upgrade my account to the new premium service but none of the premium channels are showing in my Model S :( It would be nice to have those audiobooks playing on long road trips.

I'm surprised you weren't warned about this when you took delivery of your electric vehicle (Tesla?) TfL do not offer an exemption. What you can apply for is a 100% Ultra Low Emission Discount (ULED) which is offered to all electric vehicles as well as cars and vans that have CO2 emissions of...

Well I've been caught out once and received no complaints.

i have taken it to mean that there is an additional tax on nice high value cars of £310pa over and above the road tax (whether £0, £140 or any other amount). IMHO this is to at least partially compensate the government on revenue received from road tax that has now been pledged to go into the roads.

I'm hoping that by time the government brings this tax in they will have decided it's best to charge the whole five years up front so it is effectively added to the price of the car. Would make much more sense.

which is why I get my battery as low as possible prior to going to shopping centre with a supercharger and make frequent trips back to the car to make sure I'm not blocking a stall for somebody in more need. Wish others in bluewater were so considerate.

Why?

My OLEV subsidised charge point was installed April this and did not require separate metering. That said, there is a SIM card inside the charge point that sends info back. Is that what you meant?

Not sure it will. The road tax will go to the roads, but Tesla still will not be subject to road tax. This £310 seems to be an additional premium for owning a nice car and will probably be used to fund central Government.

I guess you mean you get the error if logging into tunein with your own credentials? I have had the same problem as recently as last weekend. Since I'm running build 245 I would suggest this hasn't been resolved.

Usually. But once Apple's inefficient shop made me go over that time, although there were no other cars parked there so I didn't worry too much.

I bought my Model S from Gatwick too. They suggested Pod Point and it works well for me. Occasionally I drive to Bluewater and stick it in the SC there as it gives me access to the best parking spaces while I'm shopping. If I know I'm going to Bluewater I won't charge up for a couple of days so...

I would like the app to be able to activate functions of my subzero weather package. Also I would like to remotely activate the alarm settings. If I forget to turn it off and leave my dog in the car the alarm is activated. I will go back to the car, turn off the alarm but then to turn it back...

Interesting. I've had my Model S since mid April and haven't experienced any issue with the ribs on the Yacht Floor.

Maybe :tongue:

I've found the navigation to be bad in Europe so only use it when I'm travelling somewhere I don't know or am a little unsure of. I do, however, like the traffic warnings on the map and when I'm travelling locally I make the map full screen and position my location right at the bottom of the...

The supercharger was positioned after security so you can only use it before boarding the train and not after you get off. It would be logical to position the superchargers both ends and I'll be looking out for this on Friday. - - - Updated - - - Sorry, but I don't recognise the scenario...

I'm travelling out there again on Friday night, so if I have enough time I'll keep an eye out. Tbh I think it's needed more in Folkestone than it is in Coquelles where there is already a Supercharger available. - - - Updated - - - Btw sorry for photo being upside down. When I posted it on my...

It's correct to say the Apple Watch is not designed to work with other devices, but you are wrong to say there is no music. I store 2gb of music on my watch and can store more if I wish. I also have Bluetooth headphones connected so I don't need my iPhone anywhere near me while exercising.

I was driving home today and decided to stop off at the duty free at the Channel Tunnel in France. I was surprised to see four superchargers (and a couple of regular EV chargers) standing next to the terminal. I plugged one into my car but it wasn't working yet. The area was busy with ICE cars...

I was updated to build 2.4.245 a couple of days ago. The car was back with Tesla for minor repair work at the time so not sure whether it was an update they forced or if I would have had it anyway. It was interesting though because the car they loaned me (P85+ RHD) was also on build 245 but...

Gave my car back to Gatwick yesterday for a recall and pointed out how bad 3G is. They gave me a loaner which worked perfectly. I told Gatwick and they contacted Tesla asking for permission to change the cellular settings in the car. Just picked it up and found permission was granted. The result...

My car was in for a 3G issue and has just been returned to me with .245

I live in such a bad area for cell phone coverage I can't play anything unless it's the radio or my phone. Haven't tried at home where I have wi-fi.

I haven't been notified of a firmware update. I was updated to v 239 of the latest 6.2 software but not noticed much change so far.

Hi Wayner. Yes, I do have a signal on my phone, but I am using the Three network and I believe the Model S uses a different network. - - - Updated - - - There's hope then. I was prompted to post yesterday after being stuck in a traffic jam between J8 and J9. The signal was showing Edge only...

I'm really annoyed that my Model S spends most of its time on the Edge network whilst in the vicinity of the southern part of the M25 in UK. Whilst on Edge I cannot use TuneIn or Rdio. I also find the navigation screen to be grey boxes (although on the dash I still have a display). Does anybody...
