I'm not sure about that hiroshiy. They did it before using flatbed truck when some service was needed (tyre replacement), but I didn't ask for this time. I actually don't mind the drive too much, so I would be happy enough with a lift to Totsuka station ... or loan of a P85D for the day :wink:

Here's what I found out from the service center: We do need to have Model S serviced. It usually takes one whole day and they suggested to drop it off in the morning and pick it up in the evening. Mon-Fri: 10:00am - 7:00pm Sat: 　　9:00am - 6:00pm They said that they are available anytime...

Hah! Ok, I will check with them if there is something we ought to be doing, and let you know :) I have 5,300 km or so now. Had a nice (but brief) trip down to Shimoda in Izu at the start of this week. Low speed limits, but fun roads :cool:

Hey susteki, going ok here... I haven't done annual maintenance. Actually, I have no idea how that is supposed to work. I'm not aware of anything specific that needs attention. Do you know if we need to pro-actively book something in with Tesla, or are they likely to contact us when something is...

My insurance renewal came recently too. Same conditions but strangely slightly more expensive than this (but only by around ¥2,500...) At least it is a reasonable amount less than the painful amount last year :( I was asking the insurer about increasing the excess to reduce the premium, which...

I'm pretty sure it didn't, or if it did I would have been around the corner already (to the left) before it had told me to go there. We discovered another source of amusement today. There is a reasonable stretch of straight road near home and while driving about half way along that straight the...

Sure enough it was nice weather for a bit of driving among the trees, rain and mist... But back on topic: I found the navi was usable, and maybe even a little better than I expected after reading some other comments about it. These are the problems I had though: - Navi couldn't find my home...

These sound like fairly big problems considering how long this nav has taken to arrive :( I finally got the s/w update message at 3 a.m. thismorning, and updated now, so I guess I will try nav today. I don't have a long / highway drive planned any time too soon but maybe this is a good excuse...

I clipped the corner of a brick in our very narrow parking area while reversing at about 0.3 metres/second speed :( But in cold weather, outside temp near to 0C and the tyre was slashed and unrepairable :( It took several days to fix, but I am just happy that it happened at home and not while...

My usage issue is I haven't got the new firmware notification yet :cursing: Hopefully it comes soon...

When I had to have a 21" replaced at the end of winter, Tesla was the only supplier I could find. Charge was around ¥65,000 for 1, compared to around $290 on some US sites... but I didn't have time to wait for delivery and I assume air freight would have been expensive too. (Also in my local...

Nice to have met you in person at Totsuka susteki :) I didn't get the expected navi firmware upgrade overnight last night. Tesla still ironing out beta issues perhaps?

Hiroshiy, yes quite possibly there are some nearby. I had become used to using the ones right beside my gym and shopping center, which didn't require any deviation from my usual schedule (and actually was a good incentive for me to actually go to the gym...) I'll see if I can find another one...

I had a not-so-good experience with the upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1. My car was set to power-saving "nightly" mode, and apparently when it started to do the upgrade from 23:30 as scheduled, the car turns off, even though it is mid-way through an upgrade. When I went to drive the next time, it...

CHAdeMO quick chargers near me all need a card or ¥500 / 5 minutes (approx) payment now (previously were free, until early Feb)... Have to decide whether it is worth it to get this NCS card :/
