Tesla Model Y

I stuck it to the left of the front camera module. The tag is a modern small black tag unlike the older bulky grey tag.

Just ordered the model y. Sent the documents to the bank so hopefully it will all go well. 🫣

Just need to sell my own now.

I thought I'd read that about the wipers alright, I done a soft reset today but it didn't give me the "improved" Tesla vison parking warning or wiper change. Looks like factory reset is the way forward. Thanks

Hi Folks,

I hope to get a Model Y in a few months but I know nothing about the charger situation. Can somebody please advise me;

1. What is the best charger to get?
2. Can a normal electrician do it or is it a specialised company and does it have to go back to the fuseboard?
3. How much should it cost?
4. Do you apply for the grant afterwards?
5. Will a Tesla charger also do a BMW plug in hybrid?

1. There isn't a best. Its like asking what the best car is or the best washing machine is etc. It depends on what you need/want in terms of features and budget.
2. Any electrician can do it. Its not much more complicated than installing an external socket. It doesn't have to go back to the fuse board but if you dont it will mean having some additional switches etc on your outside wall alongside the charge point.
3. Again, like answer 1.... it depends. If you have a modern house that is up to current electrical regulations and the charge point is close to the fuse board it might only cost a few hundred (after grant). If its an old house and remedial work is required it could cost thousands. You can only know the true answer by getting a few detailed quotes. You could then post those to get feedback on whether they are good value for money or not.
4. No, apply for the grant first. No work can be carried out before you get grant approval.
5. Yes. All new cars have a Type 2 connector so you should get a charge point with a Type 2 lead. It will be compatible with pretty much every new car into the future.

super, thanks KCross.

Just on the type of charger, what is the most popular one, I need a little bit of guidance here otherwise I'm likely to pick on up in Aldi

There are a few but again all depends on your wants/needs.

Zappi, Ohme, Wallbox, Hypervolt, Tesla wall connector etc

The things you need to answer for yourself first are...

• What's your budget
• What features do you want? Solar integration, app support, etc or do you want the cheap and cheerful.
• Do you care about size/look of it

Ultimately they will all charge your car. Its down to cost, features, looks etc.

thanks for all your help folks. Somebody in work said Pulsar wallbox, any thoughts on these, I'm not looking for anything fancy ???

I have one since start February. It was €699 after the grant (including ct clamp).

The app is good and the unit itself is nice and compact. It will also support solar integration if required in future.

If you have an electric shower, it also supports load balancing (reduces current to car while shower is in use to ensure no overload / tripping).

I really like it overall however there are some software issues that have been reported related to wifi disconnects that were also happening to me but have since been fixed (for me at least).

The zappi is also a popular charger and would have the same features as the wallbox pulsar plus.

Ultimately you will probably be fine with either though.

I'd suggest getting a couple of quotes and taking it from there.

What is the capacity of the MYLR battery? Reading that it’s 78.1 with a usable capacity of 75? Would that be correct

Tesla wall connector is included on the list of approved chargers. I think it is the EEE list or something like that

Quick question for the more experienced Tesla owners.

So we'll say I have autopilot engaged with a max speed set to 100, when the car enters a 60 it just keeps ploughing on at 100 even though the 60 sign has been recognised by the screen. I have picked the setting to obey actual speed limits.

Am I missing something, I would have presumed the car would slow to 60 much like it does if there is a car in front of it driving at that speed.

Thanks

I presume this is probably a feature of EAP or definitely FSD

My Model 3 does it automatically with basic autopilot. I just have it set in the settings to follow the speed limit with 0% offset. It doesn't do it when I'm just using cruise control though.
