Hi all, having been with octopus go for the last couple of years I’m looking at switching to intelligent, especially now my model y is listed and it appears to work with our podpoint. The only fly in the ointment is my wife still wants to charge her xc40 hybrid some nights, which I believe won’t...

Hi yes over the phone. Seemed to be no problems finding the Y,

Yep on the phone, they found the vehicle and variant - just need a reg nearer the time to confirm it all.

Referring back to Insurance for the MY, i have just changed my cover with direct line to insure my MY LR from 19th feb through to my renewal in october. I just need to confirm the reg when i get it. Coming from a M3, surprisingly i'm now due £125 rebate. for ref, i'm 41, s,d p inc business and...

Just a heads up - had an email from Tesla - there will be a model y at Westfield from December 11-31st. I can’t wait to see it and hope it’s a rhd.

I have a MY on order and i intend to use Lloyds to PCP it. They now have the Model Y on their finance quote page. Given the figures they must see the Y as retaining it's value, Purchase price: 56100 deposit: £15000 mileage : 15000 apr 4.9% comes out at circa £447 a month over 49months, with...

there are definite cost savings - fuel costs far outweigh the electric costs, but still can’t avoid paying the road tolls, about £70 each way roughly. we didn’t have a roof box on as only one child so 2 snowboards went down the drivers side of the car. At least in Easter the temps won’t be so...

We went to avoriaz at half term back in feb in our model 3 sr, We allowed a couple of days to get there which didn’t cause any issues with time or charging but different story on the way back. We left avoriaz at 9am on the Saturday (v busy day) with a Eurotunnel booked at 10pm, the traffic was...

yep, same for me, tried to start a playlist and kept defaulting to some random song ignoring my commands. a different play list worked fine. apart from that it is much better, the curated playlists appear and finally podcasts are showing!

ha, i wouldnt dare try it, though you would end up grounded quite near to the tesla showroom for an instant replacement. I don't think there's an autopilot in existence that could cope with hammersmith broadway!

I had an invoice last week from Leaseplan, thought it might be a speeding fine or something, but turns out it was a £384 credit note for 12 months road tax. I wasn't expecting it but sure enough it came into my bank account today. When i originally took the lease 12 months ago the 2nd year...

That’s good to know leaseplan will let you informally extend. My plan is to keep the m3 for the 2 year lease and then pcp a model y, lease is up Oct 21, but I can’t see the m y being available by then so I’m glad there’s an option to keep the m3 until it is ready. I’d also opt for a LR model...

We are currently ‘staycationing’ in the Peak District where public chargers to put it politely are at a premium. This morning we attempted to charge on a 7kw charger in Bakewell. There are 4 charging posts with 2 per post. Bearing in mind it’s a busy tourist car park only 1 post is accessible...

Hi, I can vouch for this bike having had it for over 2 years. Quality and reliability has been great and it’s not overly expensive compared to a Brompton for eg. I use it to cycle the last part of my journey to work and it def fits in my model 3 boot without having to put back seats down and...

Evening. Siri works for me using Tesla Remote. you have to set it up via the Siri Shortcuts app. It doesn’t work through the Apple Watch but works fine through the phone. I use it for commands like ‘open charge port’, ‘open bonnet’ etc. It’s quicker than unlocking the phone and opening the...

So we drove back yesterday leaving avoriaz at 9am. Lesson learnt - electric car on a time limit (train was booked for 2206) combined with it being Saturday at half term equals a missed train and a lovely 0250 departure instead! Oh and the m20 gets a closure aswell! Still it was fun following...

We were in Morzine last weekend, then spent the last week up the mountain in avoriaz. White m3 sr+. 4 charging points up here but not that reliable so had to use the 13 amp plug and thankfully a very kind French m3 owner lent us his French mains adapter. Only took the 17hours to charge. Leaving...

We don’t have a choice but to use the double deck as half term in feb is probably their busiest weekends of the year so they can’t change it. Hopefully they will just direct us to the lower deck and the ground clearance won’t be a problem then.

Thanks, just found that thread! Looks like it'll be fine.

I've just been updating my reg details for an existing Eurotunnel booking in February. An error came up whilst confirming which led to a phone call.The chap on the phone says it policy is to place all Teslas on the single deck, he reckons the double deck would be too small (wheel scuffing) even...

A fyi for any Tesla owners in Richmond, London. Have just had my Richmond card updated to reflect owning an EV which means free parking in the borough. Tried it on pay and display and it works a treat, yet to try it on a barriered car park! Will report back when I do. Saved me £6.45 the other...

Thanks for the help. We basically get to the resort and park the car in an indoor car park for the week. I’ll look into socks and see about hiring chains. Looking forward to the journey albeit with a few more stops than last year’s Volvo had!

I also like the Aeros which sit on Michelin Pilot sport 4 tyres. Having looked them up they are classed as summer tyres. I think they’ll be fine all winter in London but for our trip to the alps skiing in February has anyone any advice on whether to change them to winter tyres / or get...

Is it just me or is it really easy to accidentally turn on high beam when indicating? I’ve done it a few times and only realised when cars have flashed me. It’s not obvious you have high beam on when travelling around the London suburbs. It does seem easy to do though! Something to keep an eye on!

Yes the sound works through the speakers as per everything else. Ausis - I’ll give that a go re full screen iPlayer. Thanks for the tip!

Hi everyone Having had my model 3 sr+ for just over a week now, and having come from an xc90 with the Bower and Wilkins system i’ve been pleasantly surprised how good the basic Tesla audio system is. Spotify integration is great when it works. Most trips it crashes mid song as others have...

I picked up my sr+ yesterday from West Drayton. I ordered it personally end of July and octopus/leaseplan took over the order late August. I was also in a similar boat needing to sell my Volvo privately before receiving the m3. I did find that the staff at Tesla Westfield were more helpful in...

I should add collection has been requested from West Drayton.

Having spoke to Tesla this morning my car is apparently at the docks (Southampton maybe?) in the UK? Does anyone know how long the process is from cars arriving in the country to a collection date? I’m through octopus so have to wait for them to inform me of a pick up date as opposed to...

Hi, i’ve been reading this forum for a few weeks but this is my first contribution. I’m expecting a SR+ end September / early October, I arranged a test drive back in July with the Chiswick branch (off Hogarth’s) and they were very good and the showroom was really quiet. Although a couple of...
