2022 Tesla Model Y - Long Range – All Wheel Drive £44,000 – should be the cheapest MY in the UK (based on this site) Available ~12th April due to move abroad - car located in Aberdeen, but car will also be in Wirral/Chester area in 1-2 weeks, so available to pick from there as well. Long...

As an experiment I reduced the tyre pressure on my MY (19in Gemini wheels) to around 37 from 40 today - from a first drive it felt like the ride comfort was much improved, to the point where I was really happy with it (I've been finding the ride overly stiff, especially with the condition of the...

They do look like that, but claim on the website to be a new style to cover the rim below. Thanks for the recommendation on the WAO covers, any idea if they are available in the UK yet?

https://www.kwikdeals.co.uk/tesla-model-y-wheels-covers-for-19-inch-wheels Has anybody on here ordered these / can give any feedback on them? Quite a bit cheaper then the Rimetrix Laminars, and they cover the whole wheel so you don't get a silver ring

I'm selling my Model S 19' grey turbine winter wheel set - listed on ebay at the link below. I'm open to offers if anyone is interested, please feel free to DM me on here! Collection is from Aberdeen https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255428473744?mkevt=1&mkcid=16&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

The Wh/mi is just a reference value, you should just leave this as default unless you are towing a trailer or something which is going to impact your efficiency

It's coming up as £54,000 base price for me as well, but the total price it shows at the bottom of the screen is still £54,990. Perhaps a bug on the website?

Has anyone been able to confirm the battery size on the MYs delivered so far? I recall some debate earlier in this thread on if the cars would have the older 75KWh battery, or the new 79KWh battery.

I use it on a granny charger, and it works great. Depending on how much you need to charge, a granny charger with IO can in some ways be better because the car will often start charging earlier in the evening to reach the target charge level, so you will get cheap electricity all through the...

Check out tesla-info.com for some more data points on this: https://tesla-info.com/tesla-depreciation.php?model=M3&variant=Long+Range+AWD&year=2021&country=GB Very much looks like 2021 M3LRs are continuing to hold their value really well!

I think this is a great point, thanks. The thoughts along these lines from you and others definitely has me leaning towards buying. This is also a good point - if we use leasing company prices as an indicator of depreciation then it looks like they are confident that used prices will be strong...

What does everyone think on Model Y depreciation in 4 years time (crystal balls to the ready)? I'm trying to work out whether leasing might be a good option for my order, as the prices seem really competitive. By my spreadsheet a Model Y spec'd to cost £57k would have to still be worth £33k or...

I leave scheduled charging turned on to start at 23:30, so even if there is a failure in one of the above the car should still charge. Having said that, I think Octopus stop this scheduled charge shortly after it starts if was not in their planned window, so still a chance of not being fully...

That's not what I said or the point being debated..

Care to elaborate? EV's are certainly not zero impact but I think there are clear environmental benefits over ICEs.. unless you believe global warming is a hoax?
