Spring summer maybe tricky , with charging but can see me carrying on with the authrorising charges when it suits me . Shall see though . Right now , batteries don’t last long unless really sunny during the day, then they get topped up . Was tempted with the zappi as I thought it could handle batteries better . Alas my forum reading suggested it was just the same , so I went with an Ohme Pro . Not assed about charging a vehicle from solar, a) the car is not at home anyway and b) 15p export is better , especially when it’s only 7.5p to charge !

To be fair, I don't have Solar. But the intelligent charging from Grid works perfectly. It could well be that the solar element is affecting the intelligent bit.

That is true, apparently. The real concern (in my opinion) is the fact that it has been wrong for a couple or years, possibly being implicated in several accidents. I wonder if there will be an "over the air" fix for those killed, injured, or, financially disadvantaged?

That's as maybe, but a US court ordered the recall of all vehicles built since 2012. That's almost every Tesla vehicle currently on the road in the US.
Over the air or not, it's still one hell of a problem to sort out.
You would think so, but Tesla's innovative automotive design for software controlled system allows rapid rollout for bugfixes, updates etc.
The whole 2 million vehicles will have the update in a matter of weeks.
There has been at least 6 updates for various updates and bugfixes in the last month, it's no big deal

Luckily it hasn't been "wrong". The non-recall is a software update in response to NHSTA concerns that drivers are not given enough warnings or monitored enough. The update adds more warnings and monitoring.
That's it.
Nope. It's just a software update and will be installed seamlessly. Most owners won't even be aware it's been installed.

Only two EV's parked in my street. The Neighbours Tesla and my i4.

Who would you trust more? Musk or Ozzy Osborne putting your lottery ticket on?
How are you liking the i4 now you had it a little while?
I class it on the same level of concern as when mobile phone manufacturers send out patch update for security breach. The vast majority of users never had a problem, they just receive an update, carry on with life.
The difference between the naysayers and owners of Tesla cars, is that we know the car has deficiencies, accept them, enjoy the EV experience.
How many have we had of these major concerns with headline recalls. My vehicle hasn't been near a Tesla dealer in years, improvements just keep being downloaded in the background.
