    Wiki Restricted UK Supercharger sites - parking restrictions / registering / pay to park etc

    bit surprised Tesla SuC are now on both direction of the service station in J1/2 of M4 which is more or less an overkill if combined with the 2 hotels. Have a feeling the T5 Hilton one will be going away soon - but if going west, north and south options are still limited...

    South Mimms [supercharger parking]

    no you cant unplug…. you might be able to briefly pause. back then it was a thing you can disrupt the incumbent charger to put you on a higher priority. now you just share when someone comes to your plug

    i never had a problem registering some 20-25th minute then casually go back to the car. that said, ive never gone over 40 mins unless i am eating/hving coffee upstairs. re idle charge- my charging somehow stopped mid-charge the day after it snowed in london. eventually i disputed it w the...

    Trip report from me too. I have done this twice now, and can report that usually I've not run into issues in Europe (as compared to south mimms where waiting is normal.) i was just outside paris today and had a short wait (like, 3 minutes?) and someone else also had a short wait otherwise its...

    UK and Ireland Marketplace - For Sale / Wanted / Free

    no warranty i suppose? That said, I've used the older ones for 4-5 years before I moved the car to the UK and did not take the charger with me since it was still in use.

    Anyone else done anything stupid when driving an ICE vehicle, now you are used to a Tesla?

    I have done that when I first got my tesla 5-6 years ago. The other car was a 90s SL (exactly why it wasnt gotten rid of too) so there was no warnings whatever you try to do. Went to the shop to pick some stuff and came back to a running car. (that said, in some winter countries it's perfectly...

    Milton Keynes SC

    it sounds a bit like the actuator giving some time in the future... (but mine just went - never had a "30%" moment) It wouldn't open but it's shown as open - and then I cant "close" it!

    Milton Keynes SC

    how did your boot go actually - mine was not detecting closing (prob a broken actuator) but i've managed to find a short term fix for now. wondering if it's the same problem or it's sth else

    @electricboat thanks for your help over the year and a bit but I've finally had the car registered with DVLA! Seems like all this is a lifetime ago when the shipping fee now is a different ballgame. if anyone wants to ship the tesla (i think they are still just doing tesla), you won't get...

    South Mimms [supercharger parking]

    and when someone reminds you so accordingly.... The chargers were only 4/12 the day i posted but people still feel compelled to charge on the wrong side after a reminder. the last week had been better since the broken charger's been fixed. but the few weeks before that had been chaotic.

    Why the hell do people do this. it's "empty" at the lot right now (4 cars inside) but 2 arer charging on the wrong side. 2 weeks ago someone wantted to queue jump by charging on the wrong side. Back in where I come from we publicly name and shame those drivers (cars+plates, actually) on an open...

    sometimes the range sucks

    How warm to people usually set their car? I go from herts to central london 2-3 times a week and it makes a big diff i decide to go crazy on the heating and wear a tshirt, or set it to 19ish like the summer and dress accordingly. burn rate is like 600+ vs high 300s (so 50-60% ish)
  26. I

    sometimes the range sucks

    well, with winter temperature you'd be burning more electrons than you'd think (unless you dont run the heating) with my MS i hit average 600wh/mi in some slow traffic last week

    If you already have it, then yes. Charged it for a few times already I've tried getting DAB radio channels whilst I've given data (either by tether or car sim).

    not so much the car. its stuck one way or another. it took like a month extra to land in the uk thanks to brexit related port issues, then virus related delays with the registration. but yeh. now i'm looking into the grant vs using the tesla charger... PS: HK is type 2 too

    Find out how much it costs to charge your Tesla in the UK, take 5!

    indeed. one may aim to leave every morning with ard 70% charge, and max out the cheap charging every night. If you drive more 1 day then the next day you may start with 60-65%; and you still have up to 80/90% to smooth things out on days you drive less. the other thing I'd like to find out is...

    Octopus Energy referral code please

    Octopus Energy referral code please

    Heyyall. Just moved to the UK along with me MS. seems like Octopus go would be the best deal around for home charging- will need a referral (the 2nd PM will get it)... and whats the deal with charging everyone gets at home - charging speed for the 4 hours we get at 5p/kWh? Not sure if I get 3...

    Once he is out of job (ie, now) he'll be ok with keeping his flat. he spends all his money in ciggies and court fees so he's still eligible for public housing anyways. You're better off worrying about the other legislators are pocketing money using their conflict of interest with the developers...

    Wife's new car = ICE thanks to FRT
