The GOM is particularly frustrating, one example would be when efficiency increases yet the estimated range reduces. For example, Monday averaged 3.4m/kWh and remaining range estimate when I parked up for the day was 160 miles, Tuesday, drove 12 miles at an average of 4.2 and the GOM advises...

Costs (for the consumer) will continue to increase so long as they continue to pay for that service. The solution is to stop using those CPO's that fail to compete with other operators providing a more attractive consumer proposition (Ionity & Tesla are examples) perhaps by offering memberships...

Tesla Walton Summit near Preston is my current go-to destination for public charging, I'm using the app (& membership) and have had no problems to date. I added the car using the "Other" option in the drop down menu and estimated the max range at 360km, it's been flawless. You may need to enter...

It's been a while since anyone posted on this issue but thought it might help those of us "up north" to know that Tesla have updated pricing at the Bamber Bridge (near Preston) site (open to non-tesla drivers), member pricing now 33p/kWh between 12am & 8:59am, it increases to 43p from 9am to...

Would you post some pictures of the job as you go, it might be really helpful for other people in the same situation?

Think if it as an opportunity, I recently acquired a 12 month old TLR with less than 4k miles on the odometer for about £6k less than the best deal I could find on a new car. Very happy so far with my decision, the car does everything I wanted it to. Is it perfect, no, but it's close enough that...

I believe that this refers to the feature whereby the blind spot warning light (in the wing mirror) flashes rapidly to warn the driver of nearby vehicles when the indicator is activated. Nothing I've been able to access in the ACC/TJA system actively repositions the car from lane A to lane B.

I think like most things in life, the ability to choose is the ideal solution. There are times when OPD is great to have, driving in town would be an example, but on longer journeys I prefer the regen to be lighter touch and find coasting can be a more efficient driving style.

Thought this experience might be of interest for some of the community. Yesterday I was one of the many hundreds of frustrated drivers sitting on the M61/M6 around Preston. In my case that was for 8 hours, finally getting off at Preston around 10pm. What interested me about this otherwise...

Yep, checked with the AA & everything is on file. I believe the issue may simply have been down to the staff (Tech) shortages, what concerned me was the nagging doubt that had I not mentioned the issue of updates I would have paid for a service which would have fallen short of the level I should...

You must have confidence in the dealer, on this occassion Sandicliffe haven't delivered the level of service you're entitled to expect, you are after all about to make a major purchase and they are 1 of a great many options you could have selected, it's time to move on and find a business with...

Are these updates meant to be installed as a matter of course during a service, or in response to customers complaining about specific faults? I was only aware of SC077 because of this forum and had I not specifically raised it with the dealer I'm not confident that anything would have been done.

My TLR is in for the SC077 update next week, this is the current software version, am I up to date? Are there other modules I need to ask the dealer to check?

(i) Previous owners - The dealership are not allowed to disclose the previous owners details, GDPR prevents them sharing protected information. (ii) Updates. etc. - If the vehicle is not due a service the chances are they will not update the software, unless you make it a condition of the sale...

I've had my TLR for 2 weeks now and have covered just under 900 miles. This week, with the temperature rising, it's currently 14 degrees, I've seen a noticeable improvement in range. I was getting an average of 3.5 m/kWh, this has now improved to 4.5 m/kWh and that's with 75-80% being motorway...
