Tesla’s displayed on screen…

Instead of the generic car shape we see in traffic on the screen, if you are next to another Tesla it should display that model.

Obviously wouldn’t need all the other cars to be accurate, but just to have other Tesla models would be neat!

Dirigera Resetting Issue

Hi all,

At the start of the year I changed my smart home products to the IKEA range, with the Dirigera hub, some Timmerflotte sensors & a mix of Gillplats / Inspelning plugs.

All works well, really easy to set up & so on. My issue is whenever we have a power cut or the wi-fi drops out, however briefly. The Dirigera hub will reboot after a power cut, all devices power back up & most appear in the app. Some are uncontrollable though, some plugs work & some don't, and the temperature sensors rarely appear. I then need to manually unplug & restart the Dirigera hub, and then it all works fine until the next time. Seems like it restarts itself quickly after a power cut, maybe before the devices are fully online, and then struggles to work them?

Q10 S5+ Spares (UK)

Hope this is allowed in here…
I originally purchased a Q10 S5+ but returned it due to issues & bought a QV35 instead. I’m now left with the spare accessories & dust bags which don’t fit my robot.
If anyone in the UK is interested in purchasing these I paid £35 & would sell for £15 (plus postage)

Masterplug EV socket is unlockable…

The lids that cover the socket & the RCBO both have eyelets for padlocks, but the plastic housing has no eyelet…
Seems there’s no way to make the socket tamperproof without screwing some kind of eyelet to the wall & using a chain or something.

Uneven Stone = Uneven Temperature…

Brand new to Ooni, and gas pizza ovens, so I was surprised to see how uneven the stone sat in this model. Anyway, fired it up today for the “seasoning burn” and noticed the stone is very different temps on the high & low points of the stone.
I get I won’t be cooking on those spots but this does seem odd? Or is this nothing to worry about?

Which one to focus on?

Currently using Mai, was planning to use Osiris but now thinking just stick with Mai until I get Astra higher. I’m close to being able to level up Mai, is that worth it or a waste of time / resources now?

Ooni Koda 14” or Bella x Ivy 14” Gas Ovens

I’ve currently got a basic wood fired oven, but I’m thinking of switching to gas for convenience.

I’m tempted by the Ooni Koda 14” as it’s a brand leader & has a great reputation. These are £400, but with 10% off offers & so on.

The other one I keep being recommended by Facebook is the Bella x Ivy 14” gas oven, which has an electric rotating stone.

Would I regret not going for the Ooni, are they generally the brand leader for a reason, or are they just overpriced because they are well known?

As a wildcard there is the DeliVita Diavolo 12” gas, but I’d like 14” really & this one does seem basic.

Do you use speed limiters?

So I’ve recently purchased a new car & a fair few comments on the forum are complaints over the functionality of the speed limiter.

I’ve had cars with speed limiters since 2009, and I’ve genuinely never used the feature. I do use cruise control almost everywhere though, especially now that it’s adaptive.

This isn’t a dig at anyone, I’m just curious why people use a speed limiter? Do you then set it & just ignore your speed, knowing you can’t exceed the limit, or are there other benefits I’m missing?
I never knew it was a big deal until getting this car & seeing the complaints about the feature!

Heat Pump AC? (UK)

My Model 3 is the first car I’ve owned with a heat pump AC system.
Is it ok to leave it on, as is recommended for old compressor AC systems, or do you manually turn AC on or off as required?

Since buying the car it’s been quite hot here so it’s been running whenever I’ve been in the car.

My “Granny Charger” setup

As I don’t do many miles, and it’s a ~6% round trip to work a couple of times a week, I decided to stick with a granny charger for now. I’m building upgrades in to the house to eventually switch to a 7kw charger, when we get a second EV.
This a Masterplug EV socket, with the Tesla Mobile Connector.
Takes around 7hrs to add 20% of range to my Tesla Model 3 LR, but that lasts me over a week unless I have a long journey planned so I can cope with it!
