Delivery date specified as 14 June (updated on Saturday) and showing Registration Plate on the app as of today.

Any idea what boat it might be on with a 5-20 June delivery date?

Yep! So much for made in Berlin RHDs!

Just got a VIN and an updated delivery estimate of 5-20 June.

Ordered through Tusker on Saturday. Got an RN and car showing as ordered in my Tesla account today. No VIN yet! Listed as May-June delivery. This is for a MYLR Quicksilver. Will be really interested to see if is one of the first UK MYs to come from Berlin. That is unless Shanghai now offers the...

MYLR quicksilver is still listed as May-June on the Tesla order configurator. I’m still working on the basis I should hold off ordering if I want to take delivery after (albeit asap after) 23 June. Unless anyone thinks otherwise?

My lease is up in 8 weeks. I added vinyl plates about 3 years ago and they have held up well. Is this a modification I’d have to unwind, and reinstall the original plates, as part of preparing my car to hand back - or can they be left as is?

Sorry all for not scouring every post but can someone let me know what the current lead time on a MYLR is looking like? Need to time a new salary sacrifice lease order to try and dovetail nicely with my existing (private) lease ending on 26 June.

Had a bit of annoying charging logic in the car navigation yesterday. Travelling south down the M1 I wanted to charge at the new Luton SC (which is great by the way), which is our exit anyway. I added the SC as a stop and the car said I’d arrive with 8/9% remaining. But that seemed to be just...

Forgive me if I haven’t spotted the easy answer to this question: but what is the current lead time on a Y LR? My M3 lease is up in June and I want to try and minimise any gap or double up between cars.

Thanks all. The wisest choice perhaps seems to be to wait until I’ve got the new car before cashing in the referral credits. (Hoping that the referral credits themselves aren’t wiped and that Tesla don’t pull the referral scheme!)

Hi I referred a friend for a new Model Y and have just received the credits in the Tesla app. I’d like to exchange some of the credits for the 3000 Supercharger miles. However my own lease expires early next year - are the miles associated with my account and transferable to my next car...

It genuinely is slightly problematic. The full volume sentry warning/punishment has gone off on separate occasions when my wife/baby/dog has been in the car. IMO you shouldn’t have to take various steps to ensure dogs and children don’t get deafened.

I'll see what they say when they call them. For me, given my insurer was effectively fully indemnified by the other insurer paying out and not out of pocket by a penny, I would find it pretty galling for them to say I have made a claim.

Another data point - my £1155 policy last year has morphed into a £2300 renewal quote with Churchill. General question I’d appreciate if anyone could advise: in the last year someone hit my parked Model 3. It was recorded on sentry mode and their insurers accepted liability and paid up...

Happened to me with our puppy in the car. Had just nipped round to insert the charge cable, leaving my phone in the car. For some reason the car locked and the dog set off sentry. Really really unpleasant experience desperately trying to figure out what to do as the dog was stuck in the car...

Apropos of nothing I’m at Flimwell now and googled the parking situation because of the complete ambiguity in the sign. Little did I know there would be a TMC thread from this week on it. In any event I wanted a coffee, so I popped into the cafe and the iPad to record your registration is at...

I enjoyed the "idiots lantern" phrase. Not heard that one. To be honest I have near enough never used the fogs, but the rain was torrential and the spray meant visibility was very bad. A number of cars around me had their fogs on. I'll bear in mind the above criticism before ever using it again. :)

Noticed a bug the other day: heavy rain resulting in multiple “cameras blinded” warnings as usual. But when going on the settings menu to turn my rear fog lights on, the alerts dialogue (the list of alerts) kept popping up over the settings menu making it unusable. Each time it was dismissed, it...

I should have added this. It does feel very tight on the inside, far more so than the Tesla. I also find the driving position surprisingly low for what looks like a relatively tall car.

Apropos of nothing: someone hit my Model 3 while parked a month ago and I've been given a Polestar 2 as a courtesy car. I was quite excited to receive it, as by all accounts the reviews suggest it is a real competitor to the Model 3. Having driven it a fair bit, I just don't get it. I'm...

As stated above, just tap the map once anywhere, the icons will appear on the left, tap the lightning bolt and all superchargers in range will be shown in red, plus a list on the right. Even superchargers beyond current range will be shown in grey. I do think though navigating to chargers could...

Anecdotal only but I feel like my car has been doing this for some time. I tend to charge to 100%, once a week or so. When I first got the car (Summer 2020), it was clearly apparent that there was no regen down to about 95%, and then it incrementally comes back. The car would coast if you came...

I'm in London with no off street parking. It has been fine really. I charge maybe once a week from a local Connected Kerb point 3 mins walk away. 19p/KwH eco charging is pretty reasonable too. My biggest frustration is watching a full charge ebb-away with sentry mode on all week. I wish sentry...

Looking forward to finding out if the Nav update fixed the hilarious and constant “take the first exit” instructions at roundabouts when it is clearly the second or third exit.

Had a bit of a worrying weekend away with my M3. Setting out on Friday I have various error messages saying “Power was limited” and limiting the car to 58mph. It also said getting out of the car and back in might help, which it did. The errors eventually stopped. Then on the way back today...

I had similar happen to me - probably worse. A crazy person scrawled a name in my bonnet. I used Autoglass Body Repair who were by some distance the most reasonable quote. They did a good job. Also useful that they come to you as opposed to having to drop the car off.

I never press and hold but I do recall trying it in the Lake District last summer and I think it seemed to engage a slightly different on screen symbol. As others have said though, the parking brake must be being applied even in conventional ‘Park’.

My model 3 updated to 4.5.3 overnight and it proceeded to turn on the preconditioning by itself. First I heard of the update was a notification in the app to say my car was at the desired temperature. Bit annoying as I was already a bit low on battery (not currently at home).

The more I think about it the more not having an option to view an odometer while driving is utterly baffling. I’ve never ever driven a car without a visible trip computer. For Tesla to take this away and bury it in a sub-menu is bizarre. A smaller point - but they’ve taken the compass off the...

That Cybex is what we use and I can confirm it absolutely does fit!

I’m talking about the passenger using the audio controls. It’s completely jarring for the radio to completely stop as soon as one opens another application. I’ve got no idea what smartphone you’re using but this is categorically not what happens on iOS. The previous audio continues to play...

I live in a London flat and cannot charge at home. It’s been fine though. As often as possible I try to make charging incidental to whatever else I’m doing. So whenever we go somewhere in London I leave it on charge (usually Source London) and I get electricity for the price I would’ve paid for...

The fact that the audio inputs are treated as different apps is infuriating for us. Fairly frequently we’ll have the radio on while browsing for a better song or playlist on Spotify. That doesn’t mean we want the radio to go off until we’ve selected something. Sadly now it goes off as soon as...

Apart from the UI issues, one thing I don’t understand is how a company like Tesla could’ve made the new icons look…so bad. They look like they’ve been ripped from a 2008 smartphone.

Sure! I’ll try and get a picture tomorrow but the summary is that it does work. There is sufficient room for the dog, an Isofix car seat and occasionally an adult passenger in the back (so long as the passenger is happy for the dog to rest its head on their lap)! When it is just the dog and...

Don’t forget Gridserve Stevenage. Might take some of the pressure off South Mimms.

I should qualify, this is a typical behaviour when the phone is in my pocket. I agree it is strange though, as if the range of the key is reduced when in front of the car (i.e. loading the Frunk) as compared to when at the side of the car.

Teslascope have advertised a service called "Unlock my Tesla", but in trying this before the App, it was down (and presumably would also have needed 2FA had it been working). I had meant to activate 2FA - thankfully I hadn't.

I could have rang my wife, except she was literally in the hospital that I was waiting outside in the middle of a maternity appointment and I don't know her current number off by heart (something I must change). I was considering ringing the maternity department and asking to be put through...

I hear what people are saying about not taking chances, and to be honest I generally haven't in 15 months owning the car. I tend not to fully shut the drivers door, for example, when removing the charge cable. I guess the OP is really just an anecdote - the one time you forget - you find out...

Just had a slightly concerning situation with my M3. Charging on a public chargepoint while waiting for my wife, I ended the charge and as I have done hundreds of times, left my phone in the car, disconnected the charge cable and put the charge cable in the frunk. The car always seems to lock...

Just checking my dashcam footage on my laptop for the first time. Sadly it seems the footage saved whenever the "save" button is hit is pretty much up to the save moment and not beyond. Given that for any enforcement to take place, police like to see a couple of minutes before and after, it...

Outrageous. I’d report it to the police, not just FB. Hope he gets the book thrown at him. Keep us updated. On a related note, I’m increasingly saving dashcam footage of bad/obnoxious driving, occasionally saying to myself “I’m definitely reporting this guy”. Haven’t bothered to date but I’m...

I swear I got 130+ at South Mimms yesterday. Wasn’t really concentrating but I recall momentarily thinking “I thought 125 was the max here”.

We’ve done five adults and our whippet (on the laps of the folks in the back), but another dog would be pushing it. Any excuse to show off our Tesla driving whippet.

The answer really already exists in the form of Source London. Yes, it’s expensive but the spots tend to be in premium locations and it is no more expensive than parking would be anyway. I don’t think I’ve ever gone anywhere in central London that isn’t within 5 mins of a Source spot.

Is there any way an ordinary lease customer can see the benefit of strong residuals? I suppose it notionally should make leasing a Tesla somewhat cheaper at the outset, but once in a lease, if residuals are stronger than is originally priced into the cost of the lease, is there any way that can...

FYI South Mimms supercharger was totally out of action this afternoon, apparently due to a lack of power. It was coned off. No indication in the car navigation other than the live number of spaces not showing - instead just showing the old electricity bolt.
