    [UK] Spring Software Update

    I'm not sure if this helps or is even related but I have issues with Spotify similar to this when I use Alexa devices. So it may be an issue on Spotify side. Or it may not 🤔

    Early termination of PCP

    Havent done it with Tesla but no issues many moons ago when doing this with a Toyota Aygo. Guy that came to collect it examined it for over an hour (over an hour! It's a tiny car! He could have probably dismantled it and rebuilt it in that time!!) The Aygo was in used condition but he signed it...

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    I upgraded to 2024.8.9 and just saw this no connectivity message. Is this new? Previously my radio or Spotify would just have the controls greyed out. Or have I just been lucky and not had any connectivity issues for a while?

    [UK] Spring Software Update

    My thought is that the boot is powered so it opens fully by itself and the frunk isn't. So you still have to possibly put down what you are carrying to open to to put bags etc in Granted, it popping is still more convenient than pulling phone out or getting into car first.

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    Me too (2022 MY). Although the update says 2024.8 and 2024.8.7 under the release notes.

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    On a short 10 minute journey yesterday the wipers were perfect for the first 3 minutes. Then the rain eased but the wipers didn't. Still wiping away. Then the rain got heavier but the wipers didn't keep up. Other journeys they work well. Makes me think they are never going to work as I am...

    Run-away I-PACE, really?

    Hah. Funnily enough. It was my idea to look at getting a Tesla. My wife was against it but after test drive we got the Y and she loves it more than me. Now when she gets asked why we got a Tesla, the story is we were both very much interested.... Recollections may vary as the queen once said!

    Scotland road trip

    Get a charge place Scotland account and RFID card. That should cover you for most of what you will need. My experience though is that wether the chargers work or not is hit or miss. Even the info in the CPS app isn't great (went to one on the off chance as the app said it didn't work but it was...

    Drivers side floor mat issue

    I had the issue with the foot rest part on my model Y. It seems to require very careful positioning otherwise it moves easily. Once I get it in the right position it's ok. My big gripe is that I have managed to wear a hole through the mat where my heel sits when foot is on accelerator. Never...

    Is the car online access acting up?

    Yes. And I don't use any other apps. I went to check earlier and after around 3 minutes I just gave up. Been like that for a couple of days

    [UK] 2024.2

    I'm on 2024.2.6 and noticed going round a roundabout this weekend that everything froze (even the indicator camera) but maybe I was lucky as it unfoze after about 5 seconds and didn't have any issues for the rest of the day. It happened about 36 miles into trip and the whole day I did around 140...

    Driver seat creases in bolster

    Probably should yes. Our creases appeared after about a week!!

    Driver seat creases in bolster

    I have this on my white seat got some good stuff recommended by Tesla that cleaned up the base well but the creases still look dirty. Not sure if it's worth getting replaced as I think it will just happen again.

    2023 Holiday Update

    I did a short journey tonight. It was dark and pouring with rain when I set off. The wipers came on instantly and were perfect as I drove through the town (rain heavy but not torrential) once I got out of town and no streetlights or much other traffic, they definitely got worse. Much less wiping...

    The “Right” Sticky Stuff

    "No more nails" do (or at least did a few years ago) sticky pads that I used when I gently bumped an old car and number plate fell off. Was supposed to be a temporary fix but stayed so strong I left it and did another 80k miles or so and it held up strong. 3M also do some pretty strong stuff...

    [UK] 2023.44

    I've been seeing the lane departure warning after last update. Bizarrely it seems to pop up when I am leaving my driveway (probably because the car has just started) but also on returning to driveway after a trip out. No idea why. Probably just coincidence. Think it's worth raising a service...

    2023 Holiday Update

    I was getting the stopped charging notification (I think the charge did momentarily stop and then resume) what fixed it was making sure the wall charger had a more stable WiFi connection. But that was just my experience.

    2023 Holiday Update

    I just nipped out to collect the bin lids from school and then to Asda. The old wiggly line system used to go nuts reversing out my drive with pebbles on one side grass the other. The new system much quieter and no STOP warnings constantly. At Asda I usually park nose in towards a low very open...

    2023 Holiday Update

    I haven't driven myself but Mrs McChimp just nipped out and sent me this. It does seem to reasonably represent the area in our driver where we park. She did say it seemed to beep less than it used to. So that in itself is a win for me! Not sure if it will move around like the lines used to though.

    2023 Holiday Update

    It's intermittent for me. Some days no issues. Others I can do full journeys with no connection. You start to wonder at what point we should get some sort of compensation (🤣)

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Each to their own but we have it mainly for own Spotify profiles but Mrs McChimp prefers the satellite view on the navigation.

    2023 Holiday Update

    I was downloading the update (it was being horrendously slow so moved the car closer to the WiFi) it seemed to speed up the download but then it disappeared and started again. When I check release notes it looks like it downloaded and then immediately did another minor update? Or am I reading it...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I'll check but I think they cost about £2 off temu. I'll check with Mrs. McChimp and update.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    After hearing of things falling down the vents under the front seats I got some Clip on covers. No idea if it's really necessary but stuff rattling away with no way if getting it out would bother me so I bought some off Amazon. Pretty cheap (others may better or cheaper but nowhere had them in...

    App commands keep failing

    Yes had this recently. Car didn't lock for some reason and couldn't connect to lock it remotely. Thankfully it was on our driveway and in a reasonably secure area. But I only managed to lock it when I got home several hours later. First time I've had it and we just did an update last week.

    OEM apps

    My father in law has the ioniq6 and also has had big issues with the app. Being to told to delete it and reinstall several times to get it to work. I've tried to stay out of it but I had to raise my eyebrows when he sent me a link to download navigation updates (could only be done via PC and he...

    In App message Action: missing billing details - Cock up or Scam?

    This happened to me after supercharging at Aviemore last Sunday . Persistent message in screen in car, in app and email saying I hadn't paid. (checked bank and I definitely had paid) All details seemed correct. Tesla live chat advised delete the payment method and re add it. They then explained...

    Whats your favourite and least favourite supercharger and why?

    Agree on Aviemore. I came here just to have a b*tch about it. It's well hidden round the back of the hotel (our Y took us to the back of the hotel and we had to figure out exactly where it was from there which I found by luckily driving through an archway and spotting them). It was busy and non...

    App notifications that charging stopped

    Curiously. I charged last night and it's the first time in months where I haven't had the charging stopped notification. The only difference I see is that my wall charger is now consistently connected to WiFi (put an extender in as before it was hit or miss on being connected to home hub...

    App notifications that charging stopped

    I managed to find my firmware. I think the issue was it wasn't connected to WiFi but I have managed to do that now. Says I am on 23.8.2 and that is up to date (went into settings and forced a firmware update check and it said no updates available) Still seeing the "stopped charging"...

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    My givenergy battery and inverter are on outside of house. The installers fitted a canopy which, frankly is useless for shade and keeping dry if it rains (it's one of those cheap things to put above an external door). But they said it's really to keep snow off it than anything else 🤷‍♂️

    App notifications that charging stopped

    Basic question. Where can I find the wall charger firmware info?
  39. Chimpy McChimp

    App notifications that charging stopped

    I still have this issue. I think it does stop charging briefly (noticed in the app) but seems to resume by itself. I did contact Tesla and they told me to get screenshots which I haven't done yet.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Samsies. I went with the givenergy 9.5 but 13.5 would probably be better.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    That's where I was headed. Trying to predict all sorts of different scenarios. In the end I went round and round in circles so just decided to make the decision based on my current situation. Yes, at some point in the future I may look back and wish I'd added that second battery. But hindsight...
  42. Chimpy McChimp

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    The installer might be able to help advise on second battery. I asked about it when requesting quotes and they spoke me out of it based on expected usage, solar generation and cost of the second battery. I approached it with a "more=better" mindset but was set straight on that (for our scenario...

    Coffee travel mug recommendations

    Normally I would agree but after getting a coffee where the lid didn't fit very well I found myself wearing a nice big splash of milky coffee down my crisp white shirt. Plus. Sometimes I make a coffee to have later in trip where nice coffee shops are few and far between. Not to mention the...

    Coffee travel mug recommendations

    Yeah. I love my yeti but the push to open or close is definitely appealing for when driving. Can I justify buying another mug just for the odd occasion when I'm driving though....? 😄

    Coffee travel mug recommendations

    Is the Tesla tumbler any good? I like the one click to open (great for when driving. The yeti really needs two hands or one very strong hand to open it!) Saw a review on YouTube and in the comments it's suggested it's not easy to clean

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    My daughter is an aspiring chef so she often will "pop the oven on". The givenergy app has become my new thermostat

    So… Highland is out…

    I don't use dark mode during day. Especially on a sunny day the reflections on screen make it virtually impossible to see what's on the screen. Not great when reversing and you can't rely on the vision based system

    Coffee travel mug recommendations

    Depending on what size you want I would recommend the yeti 12oz. It's straight sided and fits the cup holders in my Y nicely. No wobbling. I got mine with hotshot lid so can ensure no leaks if it gets knocked over when sealed.

    Yeti cup to fit the Model 3 cup holder

    I recently bought the white yeti rambler 12oz with hotshot lid as I wanted a mug sized insulated cup for tea when driving. 12oz was the right size for me as it isn't too big. I don't want to drink gallons of tea or coffee! I got it in white and am very happy with the performance and it fits the...

    So… Highland is out…

    I have the opposite issue. If I park in dark mode. Sometimes (just sometimes) when I get in during the day it will be several minutes (yes minutes) before the screen goes bright. Proves to be a pain when I need the reversing camera and it's sunny out. Dark s reen very difficult to see what's...
