What was the outcome? I've heard this a few times on my car, but only occasionally...

The section 75 limit is £30k.

Tesla insurance in the U.K. isn't cheap, and not every company does it. I suspect it'll be very expensive for you to insure a lhd Tesla, since you'll have no U.K. driving history ('no claims') and it'll be a very unusual Tesla.

Which insurance company? Interested to hear the experience...

Nope. Pretty much every insurance policy will allow you to cancel without charge before the day of first insurance, and they should all allow you to change the date. Just pick the date you expect, and if you get a change, call them to alter the date.

Good point! I'm calling them in the morning to let them know I'm removing the salt with a hose. More seriously though, respecting your car a different colour (I.e. not oem paint) is likely to be the sort of mod they like to know about. They get upset with stickers...

And then tell your insurance company you've modified it, which will increase premiums.

Direct line just added a note to say that it was added, but premium was unchanged. They had to add 'autopilot' to it to make the premium reasonable, even though all cars have it, it's not part of the default discount.

I handed my Model S back in August, did the erase/wipe in the car, send emails to Tesla asking them to remove it from my account, then promptly forgot about it. October, ordered a Model 3 and logged into my account to see the Model S still there. Contacted them again, waited.. Still on my...

I've had direct experience of this. You can also experience this yourself when doing a quote. Build a quote without any claims, see the price, then go back and add a no-fault claim (malicious damage) and watch the quote price increase. I estimate it cost me a few hundred over the 5 years I had...

The Tesla usb stick I got with the car shows up as just wanting usb-storage, so is likely to be much more stable since it's not using the oft-maligned uas driver. No way to tell if Tesla's kernel has uas enabled?

Mine is a refresh. The usb 3 vs 2 gave me an idea. I took the drive and put it back on a machine in a USB 3 port and under high I/O it had frequent resets with I/O pausing for 10-15 seconds. In USB 2, no issues (but much slower) Disabled UAS and back to USB 3 and working fine under high load...

Most of the time it doesn't seem to be working. No error messages. Stop the car and have the option to reformat, which works fine, or doesn't do anything. Using a SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 500GB. Checked using bad locks, no issues with the drive. Any suggestions on how to figure out...

So yours has mudflaps?

No documents received other than final invoice etc. Doesn't disclose anything interesting.
