OP here - thanks for all comments. Kwik Fit checked the valve - it was OK. As others here have raised, they pointed out the alloy wheels. My 8yo wheels look a bit blistered. They recommended a refurb. Any recommendations for a company that can do this near...

One of my tyres has been losing pressure (at an increasing rate) for literally years now. I thought that the new set of tyres I had fitted last year would sort this out … it didn’t. It has continued to get worse and now I am topping up this tyre once a week – to the tune of 2 or 3 psi. I...

Thanks. As I'm with Direct Line I've taken their option of adding Green Flag cover.

After a flat tyre last week I discovered that my 4-yr used car warranty had expired and so, whilst Tesla roadside helpfully arranged a flatbed transfer of my car back to my home, I had to pay the 3rd party for it. Not cheap. What does the forum recommend going forward ? Is there a good...

Thanks Glyn - I didn't know about that. I can now see that my battery is covered until mid-2024. Good to know !

Oops - I should have said AIDUI ! A bit of Googling suggests that the battery is indeed guaranteed for 8 years - even after a change in ownership. In my next cycle (Wed-Mon) I had, again, one "sudden" loss of 5% and the normal ~2% per day otherwise. I can live with that. Perhaps it'll go...

I bought the car as used (direct from Tesla) in November 2018, with a four year warrantee. AIUI the original battery warrantee doesn't apply to me - even with ultra-low mileage :o(

My car lives "indoors" and so never gets really cold - I've certainly never seen a blue snowflake on the display. So far this cold season even the outdoor lows have only been about 9C - well above 37F (which is PLUS 3C) . I don't know what I saw, but I don't think that it is an extreme cold...

As I'm driving an early Model S I don't know that your BMS experience is indicative of my car. And of course I don't even have sentry. The car has been behaving better over the last couple of days, losing ~1% per 12 hours from Wednesday evening to Friday afternoon, so perhaps it has settled...

Thanks - good to know. Although I expect to lose 2 3% every day as "normal" - and I've never seen a gain. I've been seeing 5% go in 2-3 hours !

My car lives in a comfy garage attached to the house (with a bedroom above). Whilst not heated, it doesn't get quite as cold as outside. I'm guessing the low is currently ~15C - well above freezing. But these sudden drops are not happening overnight. And to other comments - I've never seen...

2016 MS90D driver here with only 47k miles on the clock (the car, not me !). I don’t watch my battery %age indicator obsessively … but I know that it discharges about 2% per day when the car is left sitting in the garage. For the last week (3 power-cycles) I’ve noticed a “sudden” (i.e. within...

Thanks. Those seem like jolly fair "restrictions". Hardly limiting at all.

leave / re-join ... that rings a bell. minimal driving ... I was aiming for "zero" (free supercharging), but I agree that there is still value in the off-peak Go rates - even if just for "emergencies".

I'm struggling to find the Ts & Cs. Does anyone have a link ?
