    Teslas Sold in UK 2014 Q4

    They get more responsive the closer to delivery you get. Presumably they're overwhelmed, and prioritise visibility on vehicles about to be delivered. That's not a bad compromise to make, if the assumption they're overwhelmed is true. At 1k cars per month sold, I bet a lot of people are playing...

    Teslas Sold in UK 2014 Q4

    Amanmahal, Huh! What's your GB res number ? Do you know when yours arrived in Tilburg? I confirmed a few days before you, but mine arrived in tilburg last friday, and I'm told I shouldn't expect to get it until second week of November!

    Supercharger Locations UK

    Swung past Peterborough A1 services yesterday. Didn't get photos, unfortunately. The large work at the entrance is definitely a new road coming in. They've now moved what I presume to be the power distribution box out of the way and up onto the hill, and made a large new cut in with curbing...

    I'm surprised; I'd have expected december. I confirmed middle of June, so I'm getting 5 months. Are your details in the google spreadsheet? Model S Order Delivery - Google Sheets

    Very cute! Mine is 2013, and I'm expecting delivery around November 13th.

    Supercharger Locations UK

    Yep, not a single one of those proposed site plans in last few years have included the current works I'm talking about, and they've sought no new permission for them. Even if they were superchargers, they'd be new parking spaces, and so they'd need permission. Wonder WTF is going on. Will be...

    Thanks! That actually does a lot more context to it. I've probably been underestimating the charge rate from CHAdeMO, so I'll go double check it on zapmap/etc shortly. I'm perhaps also being naive about the 90D range. I'm hoping to get about 270 from it, but we'll see.

    No, red 90D arrives in ~4 weeks. I've heard there's two tesla MS in Peterborough, red and white, but never seen either of them. On that basis, I guess it's possibly you'd never see mine either :D I haven't yet groked the point of chademo, but that's probably because my mileage is very low, so...

    Interior colour

    I originally ordered tan seats with cream headliner. Just after ordering, I went to see the new blue colour, and whilst there saw a bunch of cars with the tan leather seats at heathrow. They'd aged pretty poorly. Then I remembered I had a car with cream seats for nearly 4 years a while ago, and...

    Model S 85D Drag Tested 28 Times

    Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I chose a 90D over a P90D, due to price and slightly longer range. It arrives in about 4 weeks now. This video completely vindicated that decision, and I won't feel like explaining that choice as much in the future.

    I believe they've started construction at Peterborough A1 services. Obviously it could be something else, but it's the right shape, size, and location. They've extended as well out to the right, but I couldn't get a good picture of that. Fingers crossed, I'll check on it again in a few...

    I live in Peterborough, and I've been checking from time to time to see if they've started construction on superchargers at the A1 services. No sign yet, but I'll say if they do. Also: I hear they've had some issue in Gatwick/Crawley, and the supercharger at the showroom is delayed for some...

    Insurance quotes for the Tesla MS in the UK.

    My 90D arrives November. £808 from Admiral based on an 85D 32 Years old, Garaged car, 12k/year, £80k value, 13 years driving, 11 years NCB, 1 claim in last 3 years [1] I'm relatively pleased with that. Struggling to get them to add 90D to their list of vehicles, but apart from that it's...
