Ok so I have a model 3, owned from new and purchased in December 21. The car is set up to my mobile and works perfectly to unlock, I get in punch in my pass code, select drive and off I go. Just recently we have been having some work done on the house so I park on the road, approx 15 meters...

So no matter how long it takes to get to 100% it will all be charged at 10p (off peak rate)?

Good afternoon, I have been reading this thread with interest as my 'GO' deal comes to an end 23/03/23, I admit I haven't read all 62 pages and am more than a little confused. I'm also not long off the phone with Octopus, and still none the wiser. The new Go price and IO price seem to be the...

Ok, so I received an email invite to the new Sheffield Tesla site on Saturday 4th February. Its classed as a meet and greet, answer questions and show you around the showroom and workshops etc, oh and there are nibbles. When I clicked through the invite reply I was asked which 10 minute time...

Are you buying the car on a Tesla loan? I could be wrong but I believe although the prices have dropped the APR has gone up

I am still waiting for the new smaller "affordable" Tesla to be released, I love my M3 but it's still a big car, there are only 2 of us and I use it for commuting and occasional days out. Bought it new last December and nearing 10k miles and the car has had no problems what so ever. 95% of...

My renewal is due early December , £422 last year and up to £653 this year with Admiral. 52 yr old 19+ years no claims and 10,000 miles. I tried a quote on line with Peugeot but once I entered VRM they wasn't interested. Tried Tesla through Direct line and £738. I understand everything is going...

no tracker fitted no auto frunk kit, the car is standard Richard

I also tried to replicate it yesterday by walking swiftly to the car and opening asap, no joy 😂

I thought that but never had sentry enabled and had no messages on screen.

Cheers for the quick reply Kelvin, that makes sense 😀

Bit of a strange one and I have tried a search with no success. Every so often when I approach the car and unlock it I get a high pitched beep. Just the one beep, but I've never worked out why. I don't have sentry mode enabled and there are no messages on the screen when I get in. Anyone have...

M3SR+ new at 20/12/21 3128 miles showing 248 Wh/mi. Roll on the warmer weather.

the majority of my 10-12k a year milage is commuting, 12 miles each way 24 miles a day, coupled with short trips for pleasure I can just plug in most days after work, recharge through the night and its full again for morning. Yes I will do longer journeys but will just charge accordingly as...

I was with British Gas, I believe on 20.076p and standing charge of 26.825p.I decide to change to Octopus and it was very easy and straighforward. I changed onto their standard tarrif of 33p, but only for a few weeks whilst they booked in and changed my smart meter. That was yesterday. I have...

Perfect cheers guys, I will have a look

I believe they are already shared as I have favourites set in my contacts

In relation text messages, is this something I need to set up ? I have had the car since December and use a Samsung S20 but text messages never come through. My old Volvo V90 would alert me to a text message and read it out. I see there is a message screen in the model 3 but not sure how it...

Our deal with British Gas ended so we are on SVR- I believe 20.076 elec and 3.983 for gas. we have only had the EV since december so trying to work out future use is tricky. I did however try and get a quote from EDF, they quoted gas and elec and said I would have to go onto their standard...

Will have to look atwhat will happen with the gas, i just assumed it would stay with britgas

With Octopus do you have to move gas as well as electric? I am with brit gas at the moment and looking for a cheaper EV tarrif

Did you contact Octopus and sign up? I spoke with them yesterday and had a very strange conversation. The chap I spoke with said that the team leaders are having daily meetings with management in relation to costs. He said prices have risen steadily and are due a fall, he was happy to sign me up...

what have they filed down exactly? On a few occasions my cable has failed to release

not sure if it's allowed but this guy fully explains how to price for a job whilst running your own buisness

Cheers, I will get some ordered

These exact ones in my post? Are they the correct size and not too long?

Has anyone bought and tried these, are they worth a go?

They only charge those rates as people pay them, and as most teenagers are not interested in a trade these days the costs will continue to rise.

I had my hypervolt installed just before Christmas, I have a 80 amp fuse and it was never mentioned by the installer, I haven't been able to get a decent ev tariff so stuck with British gas, I have charged at different times through the day, including teatime, early evening when cooker and...

I'm the same, I'm braking a lot more than I was before, and no it's not too cold and have around d 60% battery

Mine updated this morning, I can't see anything different, but as others have said it will be minor tweaks

I'm still getting to grips with mine as it still has less than 600 miles on the clock, I have been running the battery down and staying between 25-70 %, I don't seem to get the message any longer but on the occasion I have had to brake as the car hasn't started to slow with my foot fully off the...

Ah my bad, thought it was model 3

I find the best way around this whilst moving is to hook my fingers under the screen to steady my hand and press with my thumb, not ideal but works for me

I think the problem you will have is dealers have a motive, they want to sell their vehicles. Throughout my search I watched hours of YouTube videos, and still do. One channel I like and keep referring back to is https://www.youtube.com/c/ElectricVehicleMan I have no links to the channel but he...

Just nipped to the shop and checked on my return , I appear to have 2, so new clusters fitted :)

I think I must have dropped lucky, I picked up an inventory vehicle on the 20th December from Manchester rather than waiting until February. It has front USB fitted along with wireless charging and had 11 miles on the clock so to speak. The only fault I noted was scratches on the bonnet and wing...

One thing to note with Peugeot insurance is they give a great price but in my case once I added protected no claims and zero voluntary excess (compulsory at £500) it shot up, so much so that admiral was better at £413 taking the above into account. Just make sure you are checking like for like 👍

I thought as much but just seemed strange as it wasn't really cold and battery at 86%

Ok if tried to do a search and it relates to cold weather , I think. My car has 172 miles on the clock and I get this message most times I get in the car. My commute is 11 miles each way and max regen is very intermittent. Is this normal? It was 10 degrees when leaving work today with 86%...

Just been out for a drive and normal service has resumed :)

I think the problem is, you can't make 100% happy 100% of the time, everyone's driving style is different, everyone will have their own control preferences. What is good for me will be awful for someone else. In relation to cabin temperature , I never mess with the touch screen, I have it set...

Since the new update I can't find how to get back full control of my Spotify account, I have a premium account and signed in when I got the car, since the update I can press on the Spotify symbol but it doesn't show my favourites, last played albums of artists followed. There is a button for...

I picked my car up last Monday and now curious :)

Stupid question but how do you check which is fitted?

I only picked my car up on Monday and the screen was a mystery, with this new layout I have spent a bit of time playing around with it and like it. It will still take a bit of getting used to but that's the fun of a new toy (erm I mean car) In relation to the charging port, the easiest way I...

Not the best picture, but you get the idea :)

I was in a rush today on the way to work so will have a proper go with it in the morning

Well full install took place this morning, it went well and had the car plugged in for a about 5 minutes before I had to leave for work. Now, my car has 105 miles on the clock, so to speak, I plugged it in and it started charging, popped my coat on, locked the house up to leave for work and...

My hypervolt is getting installed as I type, fingers crossed I have no Wi-Fi problems between charger, car and router
