I received AP17U. That's what the website gave me when entering the required info... Guess I'll have to write/complain...

I've bought replacement wiper blades for my 2017 Model S: Bosch Aerotwins, via windscreenwipers.co.uk. (I imagined that entering my reg number would produce an accurate result.) The one for the driver's side fits. But the one for the passenger side doesn't. I'm including a photo of the old...

Some car companies in the USA use car connectivity to pass info on driving habits to LexisNexis, which then sells it to insurance companies (with implications for premiums): link Tesla isn't mentioned. Nor is there any discussion of whether this practice happens outside the US. Even if it...

Isn't this news from Autumn 2022? Here's a detail I found (one that makes me pretty happy): EVs registered before 31/3/2017 will pay at the Band B rate, £20 a year. (My Model S was registered on 28/3/2017...)

A possible explanation for high premiums: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/ev-repair-batteries-expensive-insurance

Good to know. How/where did you find a replacement?

This has been a useful thread for me -- it's great to see how to get access to service mode, to facilitate door handle calibration. Unfortunately it hasn't made things any better: the result is "calibration has failed, please try again". My driver's side door handle still won't present (I can...

I have tried listing my S75d on Turo (the car sits in front of the house most days -- might as well try to earn some money from it). After putting loads of time into creation of the listing, the car was de-listed and I received an email saying that I needed to purchase a tracker from them...

I bought a car very much along these lines (early 2017 model), under the assumption that the free supercharging would be transferred to me. That didn't happen. Once I 'claimed' the car via my Tesla website account, the free supercharging was removed. The dealer apparently didn't have reason...

Don't miss the Strada della Forra: The Strada della Forra: the eighth wonder of the world is on Lake Garda.

Is your app up to date, the latest version? This component appeared quite a few months ago.

Following on from a description of my recent experience in France, recounted on the Europe/UK board. Quick summary: while driving in a remote part of France, I did a 2-button reboot (because it seemed that I had lost internet connectivity) -- and the result was that the main screen would not...

haha -- if I had a nickel for every time I've had that question since moving to Leicester, I wouldn't have had to buy a second-hand out-of-warranty Tesla...

Well -- the screen decided to come back to life, after 3 hours -- so we have now reached our destination. I feel incredibly lucky. I can see your point -- but, I'm talking about the big centre screen. The smaller screen behind the steering wheel was fine the entire time; I would have had a...

Where would I look for this, please? thank you...
