    Whats the name of your Tesla?

    When I had my first MS back in 2016, I had free supercharging so used my local SC (about 10 miles by motorway) 2-3 times a month, almost always after it had been washed, dried etc. In those days they were quite rare and it had many admirers. A few of these used the term 'Beast' as, in their...

    MOT Centre in Solihull

    I've used Motorserv UK for both my old and current model S and been totally satisfied with their service. First time there was a spacing error of 10mm between two of the letters on my personalised reg, second time I needed two new tyres - my fault for not checking I suppose. Both times no charge...

    UK Service centre experiences - the good and bad

    My prime reason for my original post was to give credit where it's due. I've been a Tesla owner for 6 years now and have gone from seeing two a month to 20 a day such has been the take up on M3 and MY. My opinion is that the SC's struggled to cope at first with the huge volume when the M3 was...

    UK Service centre experiences - the good and bad

    I have to say, that I can sympathise with you having visited Birmingham Digbeth over a few matters. Having said that, I suspect that Digbeth is far busier than Stratford. I just felt that credit should be given when due.

    UK Service centre experiences - the good and bad

    On Thursday Sept. 1st my boot refused to close fully. After trying to open it with a view to instigating the closure process a few times, I realised that I needed either SC or ranger assistance. I went into my phone app and explained my predicament and was given a provisional SC booking at...

    Fellow car cleaning obsessives...

    https://www.directhoses.net/ I've been using a Karcher K4 for around 4 years now initially to remove excess dirt deposits and then after shampooing the car to remove all suds. Earlier this year I bought a 15m Karcher compatible hose from Direct Hoses which has helped save time with moving the...

    Charging at hotels, caravans, guesthouses, cabins etc with 3 pin plug

    I used the same mobile home park in the north west over a period of about five years, so probably around 12-15 times, each time for a week. In my ignorance I simply plugged my 3 pin charger into an extension reel that was, in turn, plugged into a socket inside the mobile home. In the early days...

    My experience buying n approved used Tesla from Birmingham

    I'm glad you had such a good experience with purchasing your first Tesla, be aware it may not be your last! My own experience has been that if you give them the chance to respond, they will almost always do so. I purchased my first Tesla (P85D) in 1976 as a one year old approved purchase direct...

    What made you choose a Tesla?

    I had an extended vacation in California in 2016 and saw my first Teslas, in the flesh and close up. I had always had a yearning for one after reading various reports and when I returned home I immediately looked at Tesla inventory and chose a MS P85D. I have to say that blew me away in...

    Curb rash!

    I'm probably in the minority but I've had Alloygators on both my MS due to kerbing within 5 minutes of collecting the first MS. When I collected my current vehicle I was going away for a week the following day so arranged to have 'gators and ceramic coating as early as possible on my return...

    The benefit of Brexit

    'Cross border taxes' are always going to be a nightmare with each Government trying to profit as much as they can from any given situation. Whilst I absolutely 100% defended the right of each UK citizens to vote as they saw fit on Brexit my own view was that, in all probability, less than 1 in...
