Hi - my problem with the P100 is that an unsolicited intervention in the form of an over the air software update has effectively prevented me from using the car, it was working when I bought it, it was working for over a year until this software update. I did not ask for the update and could...

Hi - sorry I didn't update on this or the other vehicles, I didn't realise it had been two and a half years since I bought this project ! The good news is I have been driving it around for almost two and a half years, most of the damage was bolt on suspension or panel work with only the bonnet...

I've only just discovered the Premium car levy of £320 p.a has been scrapped. With two cars running until October I am now SORNing these and will apply to Tax these for free after a few days. Hope everyone else is doing this as I only found out about the end of Premium car levy for EV's when I...

Photos - OK here's the latest Model X 'project' as it arrived, it seems Tesla's always have near side front suspension damage ! With so many parts still on order and work to do on the P100D I swapped over the missing wiper assy and arms, I will be tacking the front wings, drivers door...

Hi I've been pretty busy as the Model S now has a replacement tailgate ( bought for £600 fully trimmed with glass) , the rear end boot floor damage has been beaten out using templates from my friends recently purchased P85. He also has a slightly damaged/dented tailgage and has bought a mint...

Hi - I've just bought a Model S 70D Dec 2015 with rear end damage so will be off to Manchester next week - how did you get on ? where they helpful?

Update - Model S 70D just bought ! I must be a Tesla convert - I saw a cat 'S' salvage advertised locally and have ended up buying it ! Mind you this one is a 'minter' compared to the Model X - it has four wheels ! Another bonus is that the damage is all tailgate and rear boot panel so the car...

Hi - I'm back ! The parts are trickling through from my friend in Poland and I've been busy with my day job but hoping to get the P100d progressing this week after a few weeks gap. Firstly we did a test on some of the broken alloy pieces from the front suspension turrets - Teslas have...

Thanks J1mbo - I remember Top Gear doing that at a restaurant and moving Hamsters' car around the corner - can't believe such a crap system not updated - perhaps create an 'app' which diverts the full 400v 100Kw from main battery unit to drivers Nuts once 'Vehicle Being Stolen' button pressed ...

RAM-eh - I'm sure she's not going to thank me, for thanking her, for stuffing it into a bloody great tree ! Are you Canadians that forward? I'm still composing my 'diplomatic' approach letter to see if she still has the spare fob. I'm not going to mention the loosened off steering rod end...

Ok - I have a fair sized package go Tesla parts on my way from Poland - due in on Friday , hopefully this will get me a long way towards mobile. I can't quite understand how those Polish salvage guys set their prices though as some of the plastic trim and parts e.g underpan can be £200 and a...

Thanks Icer - it's an E-Type convertible and a DeLorean that my other acquaintance in London is in the process of making electric, oh yes we've been seeing quite a few V8 engined E-Types returning and it made a lot of sense for practical terms and economic repairs. I even bought a DUKW which had...

MXWing - Thats a No No on the Nomenclature ! In England you 'drop a bollock' when you make a total mess up of something e.g. the guys on Hawaii in December 1941 who saw 'clouds of dots' heading towards them on their screen and decided this crumby British RADAR thing must be faulty. Or the...

Yippee ! We're getting a few more Tesla parts in the UK breakers now, I've just put Culverwood onto a complete with glass undamaged Model S tailgate at one Tenth of the price Tesla UK have quoted him ! Surprised they didn't total the car - big job fixing a dent in a tailgate ! For my vehicle...
