closer to 400k a quarter

A sign that threatens a parking fine for non-charging vehicles will deter even more, even if the threat is toothless.

You have it perfectly correctly summarised. Patience, Grasshopper!!

Your car will get a notificaton of an update using the car LTE and display a "download" symbol on your screen. If you open your app and wake the car, the app will show when you have a software update ready to download. But you will have to be connected to wifi for that to happen. You don't...

It is certainly a good charging experience, but then there is now nothing until Tebay or Scotch Corner and vice versa. They are both sites that tend to be rammed at Bank Holidays so you need to be aware and consider alternatives!

Spellin mistak! ... but still closed today ;)

WARNING: My app is showing that Abingdon is temporarily closed. With Gretna also closed those travelling from Carlisle- Glasgow need to take care! … bank holiday fun!!

Don’t forget the Fisker … there are a few about! I saw one last week

I think the answer is NO. I also think your perspective possibly needs a little modification. I think you will find that you are not "stuck" at all, but comfortably sitting in the middle of the vast majority of UK owners. As the .14 branch appears to be a bit buggy you are also sitting in a...

So “lifetime” of the app then!

Gretna update. Talking to a technician about the delay I was informed that they had discovered an earthing problem with the installation earthworks and it would require resolution before there could be progress. In Abington last week and still just the diggings behind the fence.

Over the last two years I have seen some non-Tesla EV's arrive at a SC and just plug in and expect it to start charging as that is what they have seen the Tesla drivers do! They are probably the same ones who have little knowledge of planning a route or even how non-Tesla public chargers work...

I am going to guess that it was only a US thing where employment is “at will”, or more “at whim”. In the UK and EU the employment law issues will usually run against this type of mass dismissal without cause, so I would not be surprised to find that there are still some folks resolving issues...

You are our guinea pig … keep us informed 😉

Ignore the tyre rotation - it is an American thing, hence why it is referred to as "tire rotation". Ignore the caliper lubrication. Not necessary. However, once you get used to "one pedal driving" and get more experience of Tesla ownership you will realise that you should give the brakes a good...

You will get both types with your new car.

Here in the highlands, I can confirm that the Type 2 cable and the granny charger were delivered with my car. They deliver them throughout the rest of the UK too. There is no change to this arrangement with the updated Model 3. I presume your query is because some posters from the USA have...

With Larkhall, this and Gretna sites - when all are running it will make a massive improvement on the Carlisle- Glasgow “gap”

Yes. Exactly as I had with my late 2021 M3

Another vote for the granny charger. It will charge at 2kW - the same as your kettle uses. It will equate to 10mph charging speed. More than sufficient for your use as you could put in 120 miles overnight. The ones at your work could be 7kW or if 3 phase you could get 11kW (because your onboard...

Another vote for Larkhall. Used them on Sunday and had a pleasant light lunch with a full charge up for my journey south. Only three cars there when I arrived so nobody inconvenienced by my charging.

Barnsley SC appears to have a problem with both chargers. It has only 2 x v2 chargers and I was there this evening, arriving with 2% so expecting a fast charge as there was no other vehicle to share with. Only got 65kW max on one charger and so at 20% moved to the other thinking it was an...

But he is looking for an installer in Cork - which is no longer in the UK 😉

People regularly report that when there is a light update that the car may self-level and if on a slope there are often reports of issues that then need to be recalibrated when on level ground. Not speaking from personal experience so can't vouch for it. I just mentioned it because it is your...

You will know if you have a signal as the wifi will show green. If it is downloading then you are ok. Once downloaded it will invite you to install on the app or in the car. Only do so when you are parked and not needing the car for 30-40 mins. Also park on level ground if possible. The car...

Larkhall is in the app, 41p off peak and 45p peak (4-8pm)

Thanks for the info Larkhall (16 x v3/4?) is not showing in the app as available to all, unlike Eurocentral (12 x v2) so will be a new preferred stop for me

That is exactly as I saw it on Feb 17th - with the wrapping still around the cabinets.

Tesla have a "car wash" mode that the car should have been in and should show in the vehicle data. For example see here: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-65384C1F-86F2-44E8-A8BC-8A12E7E00A40.html

I have a similar issue, but more a hesitancy to proceed alongside or go past the vehicle than a violent braking.

... and of course there will be no ULEZ charges in that there London city compared to an ICE!

Was at the Belfast SC yesterday where one charger (out of 4) was not working and was blocked off with cones. Unfortunately the car and app still showed all four working so everyone could see "1 available", however there were at times 3 vehicles queuing whilst I was there! Talking to the staff...

Yep, my 2021 car had this problem last year and thats what they did.

I only get the speed camera location when I have a route set. If just driving with no route they don’t show on my map - in the UK

See my earlier post of a few weeks ago, I visited on 17 Feb to check. The site is complete, The old 4 x v2 are removed and 14 x V3 are installed and ready and parking lines all painted, Heras fencing just blocking them from being used. It looked as if all that was required was to connect them...

I visited Gretna yesterday and the 4 old v2 have gone, there are 14 v3 now. All installed and lines painted etc. Some wrapping around the electrical power cabinets. Presumably just waiting for commissioning.

Could be as I had one last week

Lincoln - should anyone be wondering

Gretna still closed Abington still has two stalls not working Also two stalls not working at Eurocentral

Curiously just last night I got an update from 30.9 up to 2023.44.30.14 NotATeslaApp was showing that at about 1% yesterday and now up to 7% today. I presume there will be little difference when I get to drive it. FYI the same reports that 2024.2 is about 35% of their fleet

I used to have it set to “save on honk” but changed it after watching a video where a user encountered a problem. You want it to record an incident as your record for evidence. This lady saw a car reversing into her car and honked the horn, the Tesla started to write the save to disc. The car...

Newbridge is now showing availability in the app - currently 10 available. Eurocentral has 3 out of order Abington has 2 out of order Gretna is still closed completely.

You have been enjoying the Performance then!! I got almost 40k on my M3LR

Just charging at Perth now. The car shows all 12 chargers available but 4 are screened off for works on the street lights above. They are working but not available.

2021 M3LR - update from my May 22 entry at 9,000 miles: After 46,000 miles in just over two years I am now averaging 259 wh/m

They were showing a very long delay as you would expect - it was when the nav rerouted to them that I saw there was a problem and headed off to the non working CPS site!

If you set the navigation to that location that is one of things that it already does. What might be useful is to set an arrival % power remaining. That is what I work out using ABRP when it is important.

You got the answer to the question you asked - but perhaps you actually asked the wrong question! :D There is a way to set a maximum speed that the car can travel at - details in the manual. There is not a way to set a variable speed limiter - as you are used to in the Merc by a push in on...

They were working again by 5pm yesterday. I must say it was the first time in over two years that I have had range anxiety. I was aiming for Newbridge from Scotch Corner to arrive with 10% and saw them go offline as I was hitting the Edinburgh bypass. I did an immediate 3 mile divert to a...
