Got .9 a couple of days ago. Most things are positive or neutral for me, but why did they move the energy bar? It sits right behind my ( big) left hand, I can't see it at all unless I'm on TACC, when, of course, I don't need it. A completely useless and un needed move.

Model 3 maintenance Bottom of page 2 post 39 £50 the pair. Postal service available. Northeastbrakes.co.uk

In that case, keep the old set, get them done and rent them out/ offer a replacement service to those who don't have a second car.. could pay for the cost in the long run?

Richard said he does brake discs from all over the country, he gets discs mailed to him regularly. Don't let the location put you off.

Another interesting maintenance video this time from James and Kate at Cleveley showing common faults across the Tesla range.

Challenge completed!! The guys arrived in Whiteley, Hampshire this afternoon, knackered but happy. The total so far raised is over £55000. A big thank you to all who contributed. There are countless folk who have talked to them on their journey who are making appointments for a PSA test. They...

This says it all.. they've already made a difference with at least one case of prostate cancer caught due to their campaign

It says 5 cars are inbound at the moment, but that will inevitably change over time as people decide to reroute, get caught in traffic etc. It can only be a snapshot of that particular moment. The numbers should get more accurate as you get closer to the supercharger and the time of your...

Flow control for Teslas. It was mentioned in a presentation about 2 years ago. I had thought of suggesting it to Tesla as I used to do that for aircraft, or a version of it, in the '80s and'90s. Yes, I delayed your flights.. but kept you safe 😀.

£31,000 so far.. Thank you.

I'm still stuck on octopus recognising that the car is plugged in and generating charge periods ... BUT it can't start or stop charging. I've done everything I can think of, including deleting both apps restarting the phone 2 button reset on the car and reinstalling the app, using the PC to...

I missed 2 turns due to this. Its so annoying. So used to getting a countdown to the turn you actually need to take. And when you're driving the entire M6, being you'd to keep right at every junction is so unnecessary.

1 week to go. The Grand depart is next Sunday the 14t April at Aberdeen Control Tower 0800. Total is now almost £28k. A huge thank you to all of you. Please pass on the web address to anyone you know www.24in24.co.uk. Anybody near New Milton on the 21st April, Sammy Miller will be hosting the...

Thanks for all your replies and support. I've just got back from a week away and things are developing as we get closer to the departure date in 10 days time. More and more people are helping the cause. Sky news has picked up on the story Motorcycle fundraiser from Aberdeen to Gibraltar in...

I did 300 miles today in light to moderate rain ab6d tried using the Auto wipers. I saw no improvement from previous versions.. wiping long after the rain had stopped.. not wiping enough. It seems to me that once the rate has been decided, it stays at that rate for 30 to 40 seconds, even...

So many are caught by accident. Thanks for sharing your story.

Exactly @MovingSouth. I was merely trying to pass on the message about building a background level. I've heard from Wayne the total is over £24,000. Many thanks to all who have donated.

Thanks @Avendit. Good piggyback.. Thanks for the reminder.

Absolutely. I agree completely. PSA is not enough on its own to be a guarantee of cancer. My point was that if you had a trail of tests, you would already know your level and an abnormal one would be an indication that there may possibly something wrong and a second one, or further investigation...

So this is getting really wierd. My car is connected to Octopus. The app knows what SOC and charge rate and plans accordingly but it doesn't start or stop the charging. This is exactly what Octopus said would happen in their initial email. And why I did as they asked reset everything.

@Lord Farquad @Yuff @Obie @bainsy I have android and I think I've found a way to fix it but you need access to a pc and/or just use the pic below. Type the address into your PC or try scanning the QR code below, with your phone, I'm not sure if its specific to the vehicle. Providing you have...

Android or Apple?

Nor me.. I've been trying for 7 hours. Done everything I can think of. The only time I can get the Octopus app to work is to set the car charging then do the test charge.. this gets the app working normally and it does connect with the car .. it senses the SOC but doesn't control the...

My apologies for the “Help” hook to get you to look at this thread. This is not the usual Tesla related request for help. I’m writing this with the approval of the Moderators, Firstly, to offer some advice to those of us with prostates which may save your life and secondly, to ask you for a...

Thanks Pete, I did basic German at school so was able to get the gist of it. I can't figure why it cane from Tesla Germany... I've never had contact, nor been to Germany.

I had this email today Action: Please reconnect your Tesla in the Octopus app It gave a reason and instructions to disconnnect the car from the app and then re connect again. The only problem was that the email on the phone with the links was in a font of about 2, completely unreadable. I opened...

Justgetatesla did a good video last week on this subject.

How far North East do you want to go?Premier coaches, Kintore Aberdeenshire do my MOTs. Very fair, I've got no complaints, they even get me to help!

Take photos of the headlight condensation. If it's like mine in the cold weather it was bad enough to run down the plastic cover making it look like zebra stripes on the snow. I originally complained 3 years ago but I didn't take photos. They said it was normal. A couple of months before my...

Nice clean brakes thanks to Richard at northeastbrakes.co.uk

Yep, New pads in tomorrow evening if it doesn't get too cold.. already -4 here at 2330 tonight.

Yes I agree about the lack of contact.. but my pads were contacting the disc and not retracting properly hence the limited points of contact to the disc as proved by the witness marks on the disc. I'm presuming that irregular contact got exacerbated and led to the rust forming and not being...

Theyre not loose, just not stuck. As the guy explained in the video when they're properly lubricated they should be able to move back from the disc just by the power of the spring arm. With the caliper removed, he said you should be able to squeeze the pads onto the disc, let go and they should...

Another maintainence tip. I think I've found the reason for my rear brakes/discs not working properly and ending up rusting. I took off the caliper and hangers today to have the discs skimmed on Saturday. I was watching a YouTube video a couple of days ago in preparation (I wasn't signed in and...

I was quoted, by Tesla, £500 for replacement rear discs and pads last year. Besides whats the point of chucking away a decent pair that have received minimal use.. hence the skimming.

Look around for brake skimming. That'll save you quite a bit.. about £60ish for both discs. I feel your pain with the back brakes. I used high regen for the first year, till I realised what it was doing to the rear discs. Now even on low regen only 25% of the rear discs are free of rust...

You don't know how lucky you are.. a wife that can drive.. that would be wonderful :)

For my trips to HW from Scotland, I always stop at Banbury, it seems to be the last cheap Supercharger Southbound before HW. it usually gets me there with between 50 and 60%. Whilst in HW I generally charge at the podpoint at the retail park (4 hr limit) at 14p/kWh. I use ABRP to plan the...

With the Highland now being on sale, I thought I resurrect this thread and hopefully the graph can be updated to reflect just how much more efficient the newer models are. My lifetime average at 4 years and 50k miles is 276 15k/Yr split between winter and summer tyres.

From the initial page instructions: "Please help keep this thread tidy. If an item is sold/found, please use the report function so that the post can be amended/deleted. "

I spoke to a mobile technician today about these. You can have up to a 6 month wait for the part .. apparently Tesla have prioritised shipping to the middle east as the glue in their heaters are melting in the 40 degree plus heat. They haven't actually failed... Perhaps they could repurpose some...

I did a search on Ebay, there are a number on there from £19 to £40 all fairly similar. I chose one where I could remove a section of the grille with the mesh and clean it, without removing the the whole new grille surround.

Thanks Glyn. I just ordered one.

I'd bet that the next update to the model 3 is steer by wire as the Cybertruck has. Which means there should be no need for the steering wheel to rotate more than 90 degrees and no confusion about where the indicator button is.

Possibly but you're left with all of it at the bottom of the radiator slope with no way of getting at it to clean it out. As far as I can figure the only time the louvres open is when the aircon is on and drawing air in through them. It would be useful to have a coarse filter just behind the...

Although the Model 3 requires minimal maintenance, I've found one thing that largely seems to have been overlooked. The intakes below the front bumper when open , allow unfiltered air to pass over the fins of the aircon radiators. But unlike on my previous cars, where they were vertically...
