That is indeed the sign that the EVCC update (that fixes the Tesla bug) has not been done. The version number that you can see are just for the infotainment system and don't seem to be of any real use.

It might be one of the things that is better in the FL. The auto main beam seems quite good in mine. The only problem time is driving in the fog when main beam isn't very helpful.

It was definitely possible earlier than that because I remember discussing it with my dealer in the second half of 2023 and negotiating that they would include it with my first service in early January 2024.

There really isn't any way to tell other than trying it at a charger that the app says is available. (I think that Tesla sometimes reserve specific chargers by marking them as out of service in the app for non tesla owners)

Those aren't the software versions of anything useful. They only relate to the infotainment system. You can't check anything useful yourself.

It shouldn't be necessary but it can sometimes be helpful to lock the car after plugging in. It locks the cable to the car and makes sure that you have a solid connection.

This might help I have seen something more comprehensive lately but I cant find it on facebook at the moment

I think it is possible to get them to include it with the price of a service. They need some income to cover the time the car is in the workshop but once its there the update doesn't take long and doesn't cost them anything.

Someone else should confirm this but I think that if yours is the long range model there is a chance that you already have the right hardware and that a software update is all that is needed.

Right hand side as you are looking at it. You should be able to see the connectors.

I think that the reason locking the car can sometimes help is that it engages the lock on the cable and makes sure that it is properly plugged in.

I never use it but I thought it worked the same as the ACC by pressing the blue button but with the stalk pushed away from you.

Its not on a website, it is on their app.

In that situation I think the Tesla app shows them as out of service for us non Tesla owners.

I bought these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BS1KGQJZ for mine, they said 245mm and they fit fine.

You picked the right cable - most of the AC pins don't do anything while DC charging. Yes, the cables are very short. Every Tesla has the socket in the same place so the cable only needed to be long enough to reach that point. You'll get the hang of exactly where to put the car, as far to the...

Is the Banbury SC open now? It wasn't an open one when I last looked. Later...... I must be getting old - I have actually charged there in the past but had forgotten it.

You tell the app which charger you are going to use and plug the charger in. Everything else generally happens automatically. Sometimes it helps to lock the car - this locks the cable into the car socket. What did the car say about the charging status? Mine used to say something about...

While this is mainly true and useful, the changes for EV's were known about before I bought my car 2 years ago. It is a bit of a stretch to call them "car tax VED rates introduced by Rachel Reeves".

It doesn't have the sort of internet connectivity that would be needed for speed limit data. It has just enough to run the iSmart app and even then the connection is patchy.
