There's a photo here. I'm waiting for delivery of my MX with Midnight Silver and White interior, and I'm now thinking I should have ordered the Sonic Carbon wheels - that combo looks awesome. Everyone who ordered a Model 3 just moved up a slot! Let me know if there’s a... | Rebrn.com

It's funny how big a thing door storage is. The first time I looked at a Model S I walked away because it had no door storage. Over the next few weeks I talked myself round, as I started loving so many other things about it, and you've got pretty decent centre storage, but it was a big hurdle...

That was one of the big pros of the X for us. With the FWDs fully open, they could walk under them, turn around and be lowered down onto the seat (which is at the right height) and then swivel into position. I can only just get in and out of the S - my in laws would never manage it!

BrokerDon is in the US, so he's probably talking about US tax rules. In the UK, all Teslas have 100% First Year Allowance as they have no emissions.

I’ve just done the same thing just over a week ago. Loved them both in different ways. I think the S is the better looking of the two, but the X kept growing on me recently. I felt like the S was more ‘dynamic’ to drive, but the X felt so much more spacious inside. The rear seats felt too...

I ordered my X 75D last Thursday too. The race is on to see who takes delivery first!

Congratulations Supertaff.

I’ve realised where I’ve got my wires crossed. You can claim 50% of the VAT back when leasing, but nothing when buying. Reclaiming VAT: Vehicles and fuel costs - GOV.UK

Yes - I’m buying through my LTD as well. I’ve got profits to use this year, so the 100% first year allowance is handy. Annoyingly, my understanding is that you can only claim half the VAT back unless it is used exclusively for business. Even though the BIK doesn’t come good for another couple...

I've been working on the same kind of figure. My Touareg (3.0 V6 Diesel) gives about 30 mpg. I always use premium diesel, so it's costing me at least the same, if not more per mile - 20p. I was expecting electric to be about 10% of the cost. I've ordered my Tesla just in time to still...

Great pictures. I do love the Model S in red!

I hadn't realised that wrap was that hard wearing - enough to resist hedge scrapes or zip scuffs. I'm not normally one who obsesses about the paintwork on my cars, but with Tesla's costing what they do, it does make me consider some form of protection for the first time. Something to mull over...

Hi Supertaff I’m planning to install solar and battery storage (probably a Powerwall 2), so I’ll have a loook at that charger. If you have battery storage, I thought any charger should take power from the PV/battery first before then pulling from the grid. I guess there must be more to it than...

Thanks for the detail on Tesla chargers and ceramic coating. I have an electrician that I normally use, so I think I’ll get him to do it if there’s nothing out of the ordinary about them.

Thanks DJP. I’d forgotten about the Facebook group - I’ve just applied to join. I think I’ll go with the Tesla charger at home, but I’ve not done any research into where to source one from yet. I’ve seen some videos about ceramic coating. Is that worth doing, or does the paint hold up OK as it is?
