    My experience taking Tesla to court about FSD

    And such a principled stance is something that mercenary solicitors and barristers cannot understand or tolerate. I took a similar stance in litigation against Porsche several years ago over alleged emissions cheating devices (before the VW cscandal was exposed) and I refused to sign any NDA...

    Model 3 Performance spoiler

    As soon as I took delivery of my car in 2019 I asked the SC to remove the spoiler and leave it off. They serve no purpose and look a bit naff I think. Much better without. Kept the spoiler in the garage for when selling the car on.

    Regenerative braking temporarily reduced message

    Stated Range vs Real World

    It's not so much the 20 inch wheels that are a drag on range, it's the big performance disks behind the wheels. That's a lot of extra rotating mass.

    Company Registered keeper query

    Yes call Tesla. They will tell you to email them as they need it in writing to put you as regd keeper instead of company but they will do it. Check your order page a few days after sending the email to check they have put a note on you account.

    Company Registered keeper query

    No, on the order page on my order it actually said REGISTER PERSONALLY. I think Tesla actually do the registration on the day of delivery or the day before, but will put the company name on by default unless it is marked as personal.

    Alternative to UK VED (car tax)

    Im in favour of either. Any variation in pricing should be congestion based, not road based, and there's no way that will be successfully implemented from day 1.
