Used from a private seller would still give the balance of the remaining warranty. Used from a business or garage would provide the balance, and also need to provide some sort of used car warranty but that would be through them, not Tesla.

Walk away from it, I've never known any other company to list pre-registered, rejected, "ex-demo" or showroom cars as "new". You won't be the first owner, you don't get the benefits that entails and you don't get the full warranty. I'm pretty sure that's a breach of the advertising rules, so...

Even if sentry had been working and you got a decent shot, unless you could identify them yourself the police won't do anything. I had damage to my garden wall caused by a skip lorry, I knew the company, I had CCTV, but the police refused to do anything because I didn't have the registration number.

Tesla have, quite rightly in my opinion, moved to the European standard charge connectors. Unfortunately that means that the few older cars around need to be upgraded and have an adapter. If I had an older S, I would be quite happy to get the CCS upgrade at that price just so I can use third...

For me if my Nokia is in my back right pocket it doesn't unlock, if it's in my front left pocket it is fine. Must be a signal strength thing.

Tyres, tyres, tyres. Winter tyres if you get regular/consistent subzero temperatures and snow, all seasons for most mild parts of the country. The new generation of all seasons are much better, and can handle the variable mild weather we have in the south. My Nokian winter tyres on my last car...

Yep, boot alignment was so bad it removed paint. Marks all over the interior trim too, its in the SC until January at least dealing with that as well as water in the footwells, broken repeater camera, damage to front door hinges, hole in the seat leather. Not a good first impression at all.

This must be a design issue, in 8 years my last car never had the mirrors freeze and stop folding. Admittedly in a fairly mild south England climate, but still had plenty of hard frosts and frozen snow.

I find it useful to tell from a distance if the car is locked or not.

I've seen this come up a couple of times the last few weeks on one of the Facebook groups, i think one might have been a 2021 car, not sure though.

Gridserve intends to do something like this, but it's not implemented yet. I suppose they have to check what car manufacturers are actually following the protocols correctly too

Thanks, I've already had some of that black trim off, haven't got the chrome off yet. I'll try when it comes back from the SC. I want to try and run a cable for my phone on a dash mount too while I'm there. Having trouble using the front USB C as it keeps kicking my phone into giving data...

I reported the same issue to the SC and the car got pushed 48.12.1 and it fixed itself. As for the dash cam, I've been looking at putting one in to supplement the built in stuff. How did you route the power cable out of the center console from the 12v socket cleanly?

I had this problem, added it to my service list, but it seems to have resolved itself after the 48.12.1 update. The problem for me seemed to be when the car went to deep sleep the usb would fail to reconnect afterwards.

Totally agree there may be improvements coming, otherwise some have nerfed performance based on luck of the draw. Still not sure if the SR+ Fremont cars are different batteries at all. My first supercharge was disappointing, but maybe not sully preheated. I also got 48.12.1 yesterday and...
