It was badly implemented, why we don't look overseas for better ways to do it I just don't know. Subsidising EV's is fine but the 'ute tax' component ensures it was doomed. My mate just purchased his new EV in the UK, there incentive is he can purchase it through work either HP or LEASE and the...

My car failed it's latest WOF, all four tyres have 4mm of tread but the front two need replacing due to excessive inside wear...... Interesting to see this may be a Tesla problem, they are only a year old!

So my last WOF a year ago cost me two new tires and a load of work done on the suspension which was under warranty. Tires of course are a normal cost, at the time I queried why there is so much suspension issues considering I had work carried out under warranty two years ago correcting multiple...

It is advantageous to offer free ev charging as generally the driver will then be onsite for 30mins to 4 hours so will no doubt spend money. A petrol driver could take the free gas and then 2 minutes later take their business down the road.

I just purchased a key fob from the US Tesla site and used ‘youshop’ to send it here. Worked perfectly for the last two years as a backup to the phone.

The most annoying thing is how the car just starts doing random things. I have never had an issue before but all of a sudden it keeps ripping the steering wheel out of my hand with the lane departure feature. For two years I have had it on with no problems but have had to turn it off now. When I...

Same in the UK, lamp posts have a blue light on them which means you can plug in. Just trickle charge but solves a lot of problems with people who park on the street.

So this happened half way home from work last night, I contacted Tesla and they said they diagnosed remotely that the ABS module had failed and it was a Safety Issue so once at Service Center ASAP they wanted to keep it until the replacement parts arrived. So far time is undetermined, big up’s...

I was in the Christchurch service Center last week and a ‘delivery’ specialist there told a couple their Model Y would be arriving within 3 weeks even though their estimated date was November. He said a large amount had been allocated to the South Island meaning recent orders would get theirs...

Interestingly I took the car in for a groaning sound from the front left. Turned out it needed a new upper control arm and lower lateral link, they replace both left and right under warranty as apparently this is a common fault in 2019 models. While there Tesla said they had some Michelin Tyres...

Thanks for that, I now have to take the car to the service Center next week so will ask them.

Any recommendations for tire replacement around Christchurch, 2 tires need replacing and would like to use someone that has seen a Model 3 before.

My Model 3 has Free Lifetime Premium Connectivity, I am thinking of listing it for sale and want to know if this will transfer to a new owner. I have checked the FAQ's on Tesla's page and can't really make any sense of it.

Anyone with experience of glass issue, I noticed a large crack appear while driving, it is in the rear window. There was no ‘event’ or obvious damage. Service asked for photo’s to determine if it was under warranty (defect) or if I have to claim insurance, how could they know.

I got these ones.
