Same here. It reads the signs with the camera. Just before I get on the motorway I'm on a 50mph road and as there are no signs it flashes like mad when I'm doing 70. Not that it will help if there was one as it's still going to think nsl is 60 lol

As people have said above. Set around 5% to 10% extra to what you need to add to get to 100% and that will do it. Been doing this for 7 months now and never had an issue

You should be able to get R46. Not sure if it's only R46 that has the new climate control layout. It's not the prettiest but the most functional with bigger tiles that you can just use as buttons and it also doesn't disappear before you can make any adjustments. Pretty useful for when the...

Go to Settings > System Note that this will only give you the infotainment software version. The Car software (what controls the driving and stuff) isn't viewable on the screen as far as I know.

I just got software upgrades done yesterday. Had to leave the car at the dealer all day. I previously had the software recall done which didn't include the infotainment one. When they called me they said they did 7 software updates in total including the infotainment to R46. I think there are...

Press and hold and it will activate Google Assistant

Oh thank you for this info. I have just been to the dealer today for the SCUK001 recall (not sure what is included in this update) but I'll keep an eye on it to see if things have changed.

I have the same issue with voice giudance from AA being intermittent. I noticed that I usually get a loud warning sound but no message at all then the music goes low as if google is trying to give directions but this no directions. Only unplugging and plugging back fixes it. Have you had any...

That's very true. The oil companies haven't got the best interest of EVs at their core for sure. As for eco warrior - the moment you are seen with an electric car, the label gets stuck anyway. I'm pretty sure to some petrolheads, when they see an electric car in front of them, their dumb mode...

Probably why they give you the first 15 mins free as you are not getting anything in your battery in that time as they are so slow 😅 I think this is a great move from Tesla. It's going to make people feel more comfortable about charging on the road but the main thing is it's brilliant...

Which ones give you the 15 mins free charge?

Yes, you have one schedule which has a percentage charge to add. E.g. you have 40% battery left and you want to charge to 100 so you adjust the schedule to add 60% by the time you need the car ready, say 8am. You then plug your car at any time and octopus and ohme will give you a time when...

You can do this too but then you'll miss out on the 'intelligent' part. With this setup you can plug it anytime and the app / charger will even charge outside of the of peak hours when there's surplus energy on the grid and you'll get billed off peak rates. Handy for when you are not going to...

It will make such a difference!

Look for Tesla superchargers. They are opening them to non tesla cars. Easy to use via the Tesla app and you can locate them this way too. And the bonus is they are cheaper than the others. 53p / 58p compared to 73p/79p with the others. I have only done 2 public charging sessions so far, both...
