I hope you have the key with you that has the emergency blade in it! I had to purchase a booster last Friday from Argos - £75 and worked fine out of the box.

Open to all

For those of you who use the M6 Tesla have just opened a 16 stall site at the Rheghed Services near Penrith - M6 Jn 40.

The weight limit for the MG4 towbar is 50kg and even with the batteries removed you will probably be well over this (including the carrier). If it's only a small amount over you may risk it but that's up to you.

If a commando socket is needed then an interlocking one such as attached would be sensible. But by the time you've paid an electrician to do all the necessary safety requirements you might as well get a 'proper' EVSE installed...

The LKA icon when turned off turns yellow.

If I was you I would head down to Screwfix and buy one from them tomorrow - at least you know it will be decent quality. It will be a bit more expensive though!

Be very careful that you don't run any granny charger above 10 amps otherwise there is a high risk of serious issues due to overheating. Note that a lot of the cheap (most probably Chinese) granny chargers on Amazon will be able to run at 13 amps. If you do buy one, when you are charging, make...

My only comment would be is to be absolutely 100% positive that the services have been done as required to maintain the warranty - it is 15,000 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first). A 2023 Trophy should therefore have had 2 services unless it was registered very late in the year. As the...

Also be careful about frequently checking the app whilst on holiday as it wakes the car up and could deplete the 12V battery. If you can leave the car in a secure garage don't latch the bonnet, so if you need to get to the battery it makes it much easier.

This is an SE so the latest is R40 (assume you are thinking of a Trophy?)

At a Tesla charger I always end it using the 'finish charge ' on the central screen

Are you sure it's not the rear hatch as this seems a fairly common issue? Think a fix is putting tape round the latch.

My R13 early SE was fine apart from if using Android Auto for navigation you would get no audio nav instructions when listening to the radio (it was sorted with R33).

Changing the car in the app or doing any other change will make no difference - you are restricted by the car's on board charger.
