Weirdly I was following a Mini Clubman yesterday and my Tesla showed it as a lorry!

Audible sign in worked fine for me in the UK using QR code

Just arrived!

I just received the email today from "TESLA OPS POLICY SUPPORT" Thank you for your email. Your Tesla VIN can be registered to purchase a policy online (the disclaimer can be ticked for your VIN) via the link below. Tesla - Extended Warranty Please note Tesla Europe validate all VIN registered...

Purchasing it was all I did. No chasing.

I paid for my extended warranty on 11 April having emailed Tesla prior to my manufacturer warranty expiring on 27 March. It now appears in the app.

Me too.

Tesla appears to be aiming for over 12 stalls minimum now.

Me too - just paid £2773 for 4 years. I think that is a bargain at just under £700 per annum. I have certainty and if I decide to sell my car within 4 years (that new M3 Highland is really tempting!) then that should give the buyer some comfort.

I just drove my car on 2024.8.9 - there is definitely a longer pause between steering wheel nags - yay!

Yup

Hi Durzel, I'm confused by the link in the opening post. That link just goes to the Tesla page saying sales journey not available. Is there a link we can see the Millennium offer?

Not yet - yes my warranty has expired.

Yup. Installing now.

Yes. Downloading now.

Aha! He intends to keep this car for a few years and then give it to one of his kids so his view is that as FSD Beta v12 is looking good and the UNECE regulations have been updated to allow for FSD late 2024 then it’s a good investment. He’s a really wealthy chap so it wasn’t a big issue for...

To tell him what?

Ha! He paid for FSD so that’s why he doesn’t see the benefit.

I persuaded a buddy to buy the new M3 Highland. He's very happy and I asked him what he received from using my referral code and as far as he can see it is just 100 Supercharger miles. Is it really so little? I know I received 7500 credits but thought he would receive something a bit more valuable.

If you watch the latest edition of Jay Leno's Garage where he tests the new Model 3 with Franz the designer and Lars the head of production it gets mentioned in that so I presume it is still coming.

From today's FT: The chief executive of FTSE 100 group Admiral, one of the biggest UK car insurers, said its motor insurance prices had peaked, signalling the end of a surge in premiums across the industry that sent the cost of cover to a record high. Car insurance prices have soared in recent...

I used to run a reasonably large consumer facing business (film processing before digital cameras arrived!) and some years we would decide our costs had gone up so we wanted to raise prices. We would raise the prices a little but then lose a sufficient number of customers that negated the price...

I believe it does NOT

I think DL is losing a lot of Tesla customers. When I called them to say I was moving to Admiral the agent said lots of people had received huge renewal quotes and it was not just Tesla. There is takeover speculation surrounding DL and I wonder if they are just gouging their customers for a...

I just had the following email from Tidal which sounds good: Starting April 10, 2024, you will now get access to our music library in full lossless, HiRes FLAC, and Dolby Atmos sound for the same price you pay today of £10.99/month. This is because we’re making it easier for everyone to...

I didn’t say fixed. I said they were good on an initial 20 minute drive in the pouring rain. If you can’t read that’s on you.

I said clearly I only drove it for 20 minutes in the pouring rain. In my previous experience the wipers would have wiped too slowly and I would have had to manually set them to “2” but this time I didn’t have to do that. So that looks like an improvement to me. I haven’t had a dry wipe for a...

I will say this for the update. I did the 20 minute school run in the pouring rain and the autowipers were great.

Just woke up and it was waiting for me. What were you doing up at 2am??

Ed Conway on Sky News says car insurance renewal premiums are up on average by 50%

I had to have my rear brake discs changed because of scoring. Seems a bit weird as I hardly ever brake(!) When I was at the Park Royal service center they had a Highland there but I resisted the temptation to sit in one (definitely won't test drive one!) as I just know I would become...

Hi Durzel (and @Dilly ) - my warranty also expires end of March. I emailed Tesla ([email protected]) on Saturday and received an email back from them this morning (Monday) stating: "The Sales Journey is temporarily unavailable. The date of request will be honored to determine your...

One of the guys on an EV Whatsapp chat I am on has just received his Direct Line renewal quote. Was paying £1447. Renewal quote £3469. A 2.4x increase. Yowza!

Admiral seems to be scooping a lot of Tesla business

Direct Line renewal came through as a 65% uplift from £879 to £1454. So much for their partnership with Tesla on the Tesla UK website. I swapped to Admiral where I get a multicar discount and they basically charge £900.

I’m at Welcome Break Birchanger near Stansted Airport and there are several guys working on thick black cables for the Superchargers

He's back to being really excited. He ordered it yesterday, delivery is March 8th - it must be already on a ship from China.

He’s sorted it now by driving over there to the showroom. They think he pressed a wrong button.

My friend went to the Tesla Westfield shop in London yesterday. Test drove the Model 3, loved it, ordered it, went home. He then tried to complete the order in the app (which is a requirement) and found out, for some bizarre reason, the app thought he was buying as a company and needed the...

Nope I am on 2023.44.30.9

My 2020 M3 (Freemont made) aircon compressor worked loose and severed the coolant pipe. Tesla replaced under warranty. Made my M3 give lots of warnings and slow down.

Thanks. I’m one of those weird types who is in awe of musicians and am happy to contribute to whatever measly royalties the streaming services hand over to them. I think Tidal is pretty good about that and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!

Because crime pays better and the police never catch them?

I know it does not tick all the boxes but Tidal sounds good in my M3 - just the standard £11 one

In my early days of ownership in March 2020 I could get into the car and the stereo would suddenly go to full volume - almost ear drum splitting. An update sorted that out but it was never flagged in the release notes.
