An update: Having written to Tesla demanding a refund and my money back, in the full knowledge that without a fleet of lawyers, I was going to get nowhere, they wrote back saying that my home charger was at fault. Having been at a Tesla charger in Bristol the day before and the car refusing to...

Yesterday morning I fired off a bunch of angry emails and generally made a nuisance of myself on the phone. By lunchtime I had given up and resigned myself to my failure. Then out of the blue, late afternoon, I had a call from Tesla. He said "The first of June is indeed too far into the future...

The app is put into Service Mode. Location is not available apart from the app showing where the car was dropped off.

Tesla has replied by saying that the car is "safe to drive, with caution." Yet, I have a string of messages saying: "Automatic Emergency Braking is disabled, Traction control disabled, Stability control disabled, and Steering Assist Reduced." The earliest appointment the app will give me is...

Driving home today, all the messages and all the electrical problems reoccured. On a bone dry day. Phoned Tesla again, but this time rather than offering assistance, they said the car was safe to drive, and that I should make an appointment via the app. When I asked for an explanation for the...

The fault was caused by water ingress Into the wiring loom. Once they started work on the car, it was fixed within the day. Definitely phone Roadside assistance.

The car was removed from my driveway on a Low loader last Wednesday with around 77% charge. Once it arrived at MK the app went into Servicing Mode, and the car has been at MK Service Service Centre all bank holiday. Over Sunday/Monday the charge started to quickly deplete, almost as if it was...

My first call was to Roadside, and they were superb. However, Service is less so.

I need some advice and guidance from people who have been through this before. My five-month-old 3LR on the long drive down from Scotland started to throw up multiple error messages. Traction Control Disabled Stability Control Disable Steering Assist Reduced Long story short, Tesla took the...

I phoned up Tesla and asked them about the £1 failed payment. I was told, "sent in error, please ignore."

As you clearly know my wife better than me, I think you should explain the changes to her.

I have driven around all day on v11.0 I have discovered some workarounds: Wiper Menu is available by pressing the button on the turn signal stalk. Lights Menu is available by pushing the turn signal stalk forward. A shortcut to a mini AC menu is press the < or > at the left or right...

Many thanks people for your advice. I had no idea such services existed for "Smart Repairs." Somehow I manages not to fall out with the wife... "These things happen."

As the title says, my wife hit a gate and has scraped the paint from the rear near side door and the rear wheel arch. Looks to be no dents, just paint removed down to the primer. I think. The car is leased from Tesla. I don't want to go through my insurance if at all possible but accept I may...

Thank you. I have bought a set and will keep them in the car. Seems the sensible thing to do.
