They responded via X last night and I’m satisfied I’m not billed incorrectly. Normally I see a monthly bill but this one covers Apr & May. My balance remains correct and it’s an anomaly as to why it’s for twice my normal period. Phew! 😮‍💨

Anyone else’s Octopus app showing double billing and double charges? I’ve queried it on X and emailed them too.

Fear not. You are not alone in your outdated and obsolete software woes…..

Looks like Tesla have been using LR NCA batteries software locked to limit range in the USA. So the China built LFPs are not going to see this happen. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2024-us-model-y-rwd-battery-type-and-size.320253/

Don’t US models use different batteries? I’m not 100% sure. But that could mean the option of extended range can’t be unlocked for China built cars.

Paying a premium for stalks? 🤣

Summer commuting I do. I’m a little paranoid the intense heat might make the interior peel itself apart 😬 (see steering wheel woes of many owners). But I don’t use AC and wouldn’t use it on a trip. Pottering to work it’s no drama, given I can lose a few % without issue. I’ve just “invested in a...

If you’re parking in the shade turn off cabin overheat, particularly if you’ve got the AC selected. As GRiLLA says, turn off sentry and don’t be tempted to check the app. You’ll lose a few percent at worst.

No I think you can expand and reduce the visualisation from what I’ve seen online.

Even wireless technology could do with Tesla seamless integration. Knowing which stalls are in use and which cars are headed to the site etc Having ownership to me seems like a no brainer.

It’s certainly a large risk area for Tesla to sack the entire team that provides a USP that has drawn in so many customers. Anytime I road trip it reminds me that this is a Key USP. The ongoing maintenance of the network appears vital to Tesla’s future, indeed its expansion would appear just as...

Not all Ioniq 5s are born equal 🤣

Only dual motor cars may need tyre rotation, not RWD. My MYLR at 18k has 1mm difference between front and rear (5mm front 4mm rear). I’m going to rotate them myself, just to eek out the most from the set before I change them late summer. You use the mechanical brakes so much less in Tesla’s they...

It’ll surely just be a roadshow of the NA Cybertruck. It’ll draw crowds and shine a spotlight on the models we can actually buy.

Yes, the V5 shows zero tow capacity

The wh/m only measures your journeys, not any usage/drain whilst parked. So using wh/m to calculate battery capacity only really works if you do one long journey. It sounds to me like you’ve been losing power in between lots of short, inefficient journeys. This would make it appear like your car...

2021 RWD could well be a 55kwh battery (52 usable). If it’s displaying 248 EPA that sounds about right. If he’s using sentry that’ll be taking a couple of % each day.

Is that 110 miles over multiple short journeys? Because you’ll likely be losing energy every night, then on every warm up. I’m guessing so, as an average of 260wh/M isn’t great and probably indicates lots of inefficient journeys. My MYLR is averaging 225wh/m over the last 18 months and I’m...

They went through a stage when I was buying in 2021 where you couldn’t order factory tow bars. I expect it’ll be a rare car. You can’t retrofit one as the V5 won’t reflect a tow value, so even if you fitted one it’s not be legal. What do you want it for? Caravan, bike rack, boat etc??

To add fuel to the fire, unscrupulous owners who crash (sometimes under the influence) have been known to flee the scene and then report the car “stolen”. These are recorded as “thefts” although no one is fooled by these idiots.

Why only S/X/Highland? If this is a Vision feature it should be available for anyone with a power bootlid?

So I see Tesla Store UK now has winter wheel & tyre packages for Model Y. https://shop.tesla.com/en_gb/product/model-y-19_-gemini-wheels-and-pirelli-sz3-winter-tire-package What’s interesting is that the 21’ Uber package is cheaper than the 20’ turbine…… Anyone bought any of these from Tesla UK?

Having updated to 2024.8.7 I’m impressed. The Matrix function works well and the visualisation has noticeably improved. It’s showing significantly more vehicles around me and looking further ahead. It reminds me of when I had my first M3, late 2021. Of late I felt the visualisation had become...

I think you’ve overridden the auto function and selected manual high beam. If you’ve selected auto lights and adaptive lights in the menu the car decides when to use the high beam and matrix functions.

Funnily enough mine seemed stuck in a “checking for update” loop last night. Maybe IT issues at the Tesla end I suspect. Must be using a lot of server capacity to roll FSD V12 to the entire N American fleet.

Just had this email indicating an issue with IO, be warned if you’re charging tonight. I’d updated it all a few days ago and it’s been working fine. I’ve done it again and it appears to have worked as advertised, but might catch a few people out I imagine. I’ll be watching to check the £10...

Charged overnight fine.

I got an email off Octopus and a warning in the app that I needed to update everything.

I had this last weekend and just turned my phone off, left it for 5 minutes and turned it back on.

So I’ve just followed the process and it appears to have worked fine. No issues, German Email but virtual key and even a smart schedule for later. I’ll charge it overnight and see how it goes. iOS Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Pod Point MYLR (late 2022) 2024.2.8 currently

Has anyone with a single car set up successfully updated and reconnected their car yet? I’m nervous to try if everyone’s having issues.

You’ve still got a year’s warranty and the battery/motors have significantly longer. Unless the insurance cost is crippling you I’d stick with it. As a run around it’s cheap to use and with the performance it’d be a wonderful thing to road trip and explore the UK and Europe in. What else are...

Couldn’t agree more. And with a change in management on the cards it’ll be worse, as they flip flop on ideas and fail to deliver anything. I’m not suggesting the current lot are any better. The whole lot are inept, self serving morons.

Pretty much everyone I know who’s driven an EV has preferred it. Tesla’s minimalist interior is marmite, but so is IPhone and that’s done ok. The factors adversely effecting the transition are mainly infrastructure, where different failings of central and local government are causing...

The luxury tax is only due to be applicable to cars registered after 1/4/25 so you should avoid that.

Feels good working it to the man (hopefully) Although I’d prefer it if they just kept our older cars as zero VED

Just saying…… https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2024/march/man-arrested-following-incident-on-m62/

RWD Highland WLTP is 318 and EPA is 272. The cars default to EPA so 272 is correct.

The white is a great colour, contrasting with the satin black accents. When the light catches it at night it’s quite special (being pearlescent). Enjoy the car and welcome to the forum.

Sorry, what car is this?

I don’t think Rugby is open to other brands.

Interesting tack by VWFS to try and make it harder. I’ve got one with them, 7 with BMW and 1 with Black Horse all submitted. Given all the checks you have to complete to get finance, I’ll be telling them I am definitely the same customer….look I even have the same bank account….now toddle off...

Could Tesla implement an Auto indicate function to follow Nav? I appreciate that there will be plenty of occasions you’d want to manually engage indicators. Or possibly not follow the Nav route. But it’d match their drive towards automation, and likely cover 90%+ of the “small roundabout” or...

What about a generic plate holder with multiple mounting points? You could always “pack” it out with some foam to overcome the bumper contour. 2x Black effect Number Plate Surrounds Holder Frame ABS PC plastic https://amzn.eu/d/0Z1aA1t

MG Cybster spotted testing in the UK (RHD). Would anyone waiting for the Tesla Roadster consider one of these? https://x.com/timpitt100/status/1740323444955173157?s=46&t=uooZPr6gMFKmlRZNJjBLkA

I know. Those of you who can support the grid are great. We’re just cutting demand down and hardly save a fraction during the savings sessions. Mores the pity.

24kWh? Are you powering a small town???

You’re not the only one 😔

Not bricked but I once started an update which didn’t finish. This caused battery drain. I’d just left the car at work and travelled to London for a week. Within 1/2 day it was down 40%!!!! I opened a service request and they remotely sorted it. I was bricking it for a few hours…..
