Morning all Now that the car is sold I have a spare set of 4 21 inch carbon turbine wheels to sell which have relatively new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres fitted and TPMS. They are unmarked. Note they are the v2 turbines with the plastic nut covers rather than the old ones without. Pictures...

Sold. Thanks so much for the help Tom. I forgot to mention it also has full self driving so the buyer got that for free :-)

For Sale: Tesla Model S Performance Raven (P100DL refresh), November 2019, 32,000 miles. Black, carbon, 21 inch turbines. Full body PPF since new, so paint underneath is perfect, rear windows tinted. Full warranty until November 2023, serviced at Tesla August 2022. Please let me know if...

If you are prepared to haggle and they are genuine Tesla Model S plus new tyres I am interested. I already have a set and fancy another for winter tyres. I paid a lot less than £4,500 for the first set (to replace my chocolate turbines)

Mine was Q4 2019, Tesla did the free supercharging in the UK for Model S purchases for that quarter only. Non transferrable, when I or the car go, it goes too. Honestly its the only reason I still have it; I do really want a new Range Rover but with free fuel I will drive this until the doors...

I guess we are all kind of fascinated by now… (sorry for your pain). Are you saying there is a lip where the red arrow is partially down the hub which has fouled on the inside of the wheel? (PS this is just a generic Model 3 wheel hub photo). I would still advocate trying to take the entire...

I would get an angle grinder out and cut the spokes off then carefully cut a slot down the centre which would allow it to open up. Failing that take off suspension arms and get it done off the car. Pulling about when it’s on jacks or stands will result in damage to your health.

…and on mine at least you don’t have to stop and turn off to get off the naughty step. Just knock it into park at the next traffic lights then back to drive. Seems to reset it and give you back AP.

Ah that makes sense. and to be fair to Best Western their branding has been stripped off it. The in car map still shows full facilities.

So, just stopped at the Colchester (Marks Tey) SC right now. It is in the car park of a tired old hotel where you used to be able to get a coffee and go to the loo. I walked up to the front door, walked in and got accosted by a concierge asking me what I wanted. I said a coffee and the loo...

I usually have it on % since the range number is so made up! With the relative proliferation of Superchargers in Southern England I usually just aim to charge at around 5-10% to minimise stops. Running 10%-70% charge seems to minimise my waiting time.

I will grab a photo later but when it was new there was a big fold in the centre of the seat (should not be there). They “fixed” it at a service visit but then it has just sagged and sagged and now looks horrid. I am only 85Kg before the funny comments come in! I could ask Tesla to look at it...

359 over nearly 29,000 miles in the UK. Not sure why I am so bad at this... Means a max range of 278 miles vs the advertised 341 at new, 18% worse. 21 inch Arachnid wheels I suppose don't help. Most of the time it is motorway at 77 mph which again is a bit naughty.

Afternoon, My Model S ( 2019 Raven Performance) has never charged at more than 135 kW since it was new, regardless of what charger. Then a few weeks ago I plugged in and got 184 kW.... This has then never repeated and we are back to 130 kW on V2 or V3 chargers. Any ideas? Thanks

Afternoon all. I am in the fortunate position of having bought one of the first Model S Raven Performance models in November 2019, fortunate since it was the first of the next gen but it was the last quarter they ever gave away free supercharging for life. So basically I am now stuck with this...
