    Brand new S90D (2/17). Experiencing very bumpy ride since yesterday. Regular suspension.

    I had something similar. Driving v. slowly across a bridge was like an oscillation as every small bump felt like a speed hump to the point of the car bouncing practically. It was a bit scary. Haven't had it since. I pumped up the tyres to 45psi also so maybe that fixed it. I get a bit of a...

    Model S - Booster Seat Compatibility Experience

    I bought Graco Affix Car Seat, Stargazer - Black, and added a short seatbelt extender. I don't know where you read they aren't legal or safe but they are safe and are legal to use not just for people who won't fit but for car seats that the belt can't be reached. My son loves it because he can...

    Auto brightness hunting for level

    Recently, the auto brightness has been 'hunting' for the level. Going all the way from 20% to 100% and back a few times before settling. Anyone else had this? Where's the sensor so I can check and clean it?

    Superchargers with Charge complete indicator & other suggestions

    So if you want to get higher priority, simply interrupt their charging? Got it! Fantastic tip..... ;)

    Superchargers with Charge complete indicator & other suggestions

    Ah the thread lives.... What's important for me is to be able to see at a glance how far someone is into their charge. Of course someone maybe just topping up, but to know how long you have to wait would be useful. When those Model 3's hit the road there's going to be a lot of full...

    Wheel Oscillation in 3mph traffic

    The lane departure vibrates the steering wheel. I was in the pax seat, wife driving and we both noticed how the car felt like wheel was wobbling off. It was fine on the other surface at slow speed and it's been fine since. Very odd. Might be just the surface bumps and our unusually sensitive...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    No that's not the case. I have a van I use for business. A driver who was named on the policy for work managed to write it off by slamming it under a low bridge. So I lost my no claims bonus. Sucks to be the policy holder. My old Spitfire MK II didn't classify for built up no-claims either...

    Wheel Oscillation in 3mph traffic

    Hi all, This morning we had a very strange experience. We were on a road with traffic and moving anywhere between standstill and 5mph. As we started moving, the car started bouncing as if the front wheels were buckled or a wheel was falling off. It was significant to the point we were seriously...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    We're with Admiral on our old car but recently we both (wife and I) lost our separate no claims bonus, gained 3 points each speeding/red light in last 12 months and I got a speeding ban of 28days! 20 years of point free/NCB and then all that in the space of 18months! Reading this back makes it...

    Alloy Wheel Refurb - London

    Shame Andrews doesn't serve west London. Can anyone recommend a mobile alloy repair that will service west London/Surrey area?

    Alloy Wheel Refurb - London

    Had mine about 3 days and twice scraped the alloys: once on tight Richmond ncp car park exit, other time trying to cut a corner to allow a poorly positioned driver to pass! Won't do that again! Just not used to the wide body. If only I had top down virtual view. :( glad I found this post. Will...

    Planning a road trip

    Hi all. I'm planning a road trip. One that will save me potentially £1400-£1800 in flight costs at half term. The trip is London to Megève France. There are some nicely placed superchargers along the route, but when I plan it on ev tripplanner, there is about 4 hours total charging time for the...

    Superchargers with Charge complete indicator & other suggestions

    I'm sure it's already been suggested, but what I would find very useful when turning up at a supercharger centre is to see how complete a station is to finishing a charge. When you pull into a petrol station, you don't mind waiting as you know it won't be long. But at a supercharger centre, you...

    Newer Teslas also with Takata recalled airbags?

    I think it's fair to assume given the stats that the likelihood of danger is so low, you're more likely to be hit by an asteroid. But since the industry is having the recall forced on them, they have to take the action required. So I think you can assume they'll swap the airbag on your next...

    Range degradation for S70D

    Thanks for the responses. Looks like 70D was a good buy then given its flexibility to upgrade/potentially limited degradation.
