    Anyone leasing had their miles taken?

    I'm watching this with interest. I am through Leaseplan and so far no referral miles from the code I used are showing. I used my colleague's code and he also hasn't received his as a result either.

    2020 Shipping Movements

    (Assuming this isn't you Mr Miserable?) the thread here indeed suggests the cars were trucked to the east coast to go on the Silver Ray. https://twitter.com/mortenlund89/status/1272158196245938177

    No Touch Up Paint!

    I came home from work yesterday to this stone chip on the bonnet. Has anyone actually bought a touch up pen that they were happy with the results? 20200612_143810 by Jam-Man posted Jun 12, 2020 at 2:43 PM

    Two little stories

    Haha this just happened to me this lunchtime. Young lad probably about 10, walking along the pavement with his mum and siblings. His head whipped round, mouth opened and finger pointed out as he yelled "TESLAAAA!!!". I gave him a smile as it made me chuckle a bit. :)

    First Decent Road Trip

    I also took my M3 LR on its first long trip yesterday since having it delivered on Tuesday last week. 420 miles on mostly motorways. Agree with much of spooksman's summary; a few more from me... Range was actually ok. Charged up to 98% with scheduled 7am departure and managed 148 miles to the...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    My M3 LR was delivered today and is now on charge outside the office. No Type2 cable so contacted Tesla for one to be sent. A few marks on the car but shutlines look ok. Roof looks to be sitting high in the middle vs the windscreen and back window though. In a twist of fate, we have a powercut...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    I was contacted by sms 10 days ago and offered delivery dates from this Friday for an M3LR. Opted for 2nd June but this matches the 2 weeks you've been quoted. I called Tesla last week and have confirmed a VIN.

    Insurance UK

    I'm looking at quotes now ahead of a scheduled 2nd June delivery on an M3 LR. Back in March I could get around £900 but now it's almost £1,200. Same conditions, same (high) mileage and same 2 ish weeks before planned delivery.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    My M3 LR was ordered at the end of Jan with an initial delivery of April. This was then pushed back to June. This morning I have been given a delivery of 29th May so it seems that some cars have been released in the last day or so (from stock I assume?).

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    Leaseplan contacted us on Friday now offering a June delivery. Not sure how likely that is, but it's a change from their initial push back to September from the requested April date when the car was ordered....

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    I had a call with Leaseplan this morning who are now stating that aside from key workers, ALL deliveries (all makes & models, not just Tesla) have been pushed back to September. Would be interested if anyone has heard the same, or different from their lease provider. To clarify, Leaseplan have...

    Granny charger adapter/3 pin plug

    2 pin plugs fit UK plugs without an adaptor. Just use a wooden lolly stick to open the release for the live / neutral in the top hole.... I lived in the UAE for a few years and this was the norm as they also have UK sockets but a lot of appliances are shipped with EU plugs. Or you can get a...
