When a stone fell off scaffolding onto the bonnet of my Model X, these guys in Straiton repaired it. Fantastic job, although not as cheap as the above. ProTouch Automotive | Car Body Repair Edinburgh | Smart Repair |

I had a set of CC SUV on my Model X for about 16000 miles and have just changed to CC SUV 2 which have around 3000 miles on them. I found the CC SUV good and the SUV 2s excellent. I found noise similar or less than the OEM Latitude Sports. The Lattitude Sports were terrible in the slightest...

I don’t know how the local Edinburgh Costco sells any tyres. They have refused to fit non T0 tyres to my Tesla and non Porsche Pilot Sports to my 911. I have basically given up on them. They also have a massive wait to get an appointment. For what it’s worth I have had Kwik Fit and Halfords...

Pre the Palladium models, Tesla had been reducing the price of the S and X as they were struggling to keep volumes up. See chart below of S pricing. I think again this is due to the limited market size at 100k+. When they introduced the Palladium model, not only was there a general shortage...

As you say price and HP/performance are usually well linked. I was surprised to see that spec 0-62 on the 545 is 4.7s and I saw a road test that got an actual time of 4.4. Slower than a Model S LR, but still a very fast car. BMW I have noticed have massively improved 0-60 times in the last few...

I think it is interesting that Tesla would rather cut prices in the US than produce RHD cars to take up the slack in demand, although that would only provide temporary respite and a price cut for the S and X was expected. Surprisingly the German/French price for a LR X or S is actually still...

US prices are pre tax and "destination fee", Europe post tax and fee. To get from the US to the EU/UK price you have to add 10% import duty then 20% VAT on the total including the duty I believe. Then convert to local currency. So $(114990+1390) x 1.1 x 1.2 / 1.09 (Current exchange rate) =...

Hi Simon, No chance of getting a new X by June in the U.K. I’m afraid. They’d have announced it was coming by now. Maybe around year end, although no one knows for certain. I just test drove an iX 40 which was very nice and you can get some good deals on at the moment. As to the price of the...

I got the same email, I am guessing it was just sent out automatically by accident. I have a Plaid X on order with 7 seats, also at £121k. If you take the US price, add VAT and import duty and convert it to GBP, the new price is still more than this. the current EU price is also more than...

I have had three MOTs done at the Morningside branch of Kwik Fit. Staff there are very good.

I expect price cuts are coming as @upgraded pointed out. I don't think this is just a Tesla issue. Cars have been increasing in price and discounts have been hard to come by for a couple of years. People could stomach this as financing was cheap and they were often only looking at monthly...

I'm in the UK so feel like it could easily be 12-18 months before I get a car if at all. Thought I would ask this anyway though. With the recent policy change to allow people to change their order and the keep the price from the time of their order, does this include the ability to change from...

Someone contacted me about it on Sunday then disappeared. I suspect what will happen is that they will put out another update and it will be fixed before I can actually discuss it with anyone

That option has gone too. It still seems to be controlling the car charging at night, but all reference to it in the app is gone.

I have been on to Octopus who have asked me to do all the usual things such as update the app and my phone, delete and reload the app and the Tesla app. Nothing has helped. I think it is a bug from the app update released on Friday. Mine is doing the same in that today it stopped charging a...
