    Servicing lead times

    As I live in Northampton, the next nearest SC for me is Birmingham. Reading above, wait times all seem to be around 6-8 weeks, so happy to wait for MK to service it & will definitely keep a record of my booking for future reference!

    Servicing lead times

    I just phoned Tesla MK to book my car in for its first service (due in 4 weeks) to be told there's a 10 week wait!!! As I have the car on PCP, Tesla said they'd send me an e-mail to say this delay doesn't affect my warranty, but 10 weeks is ridiculous! Does anyone know if I have to inform the...

    MS Suspension Ball Joint Failure?!

    Update: After just under 3 weeks, I received my car back from Tesla. No real explanation as to the cause, suggestion that it might have been skidding up the curb, but all repaired as 'goodwill'!

    MS Suspension Ball Joint Failure?!

    Agree, but surely the wheel or tyre would have been damaged too? Need to review the dashcam footage to see exactly what happened?

    MS Suspension Ball Joint Failure?!

    Driving home from work in the snow on Friday, I thought the steering felt a bit loose. My wife went out for a haircut, said she was going really slowly round a roundabout & couldn't steer, so ended up going up the curb. She got home so I went out in the car & at first, couldn't turn out the...

    Navigation updated (after 2017.50.2)

    I received & installed the 2017.50.2 update on Christmas Eve. Then yesterday (29th Dec) I had a 'Navigation updated' message on the main screen (no new update). Does anyone know what was added? Presume the previous update then caused the nav to update OTA 4 days later?

    Installing home charger for Model S

    I bought a 32A Commando (2P+E) switched socket for around £20 & had it installed under the consumer unit for £60! I use the UMC with the blue connector to charge my 2017 MS 75D, get 22 mph charge (32A @ 230V = 7.3kW).

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    I took delivery of my MS 75D 4 weeks ago. Shame I won't get the performance upgrade but couldn't afford the 90D when I bought. Wonder how much HW needs changing? Here in the UK, I'd be happy to pay £1k-£2k for the upgrade. Maybe they could do a SW only performance increase to bring us down a...

    Key fob left in car: Locking with app doesn't lock!

    Earlier this week, I parked up, walked about half a mile from my MS & then realised I'd left the key fob in the cup holder! So, I used the app to lock the car & enable Valet mode. As soon as I could, I returned to my car, touched the handle & opened the car. Why doesn't the app disable (or...

    How to request new software/firmware features?

    I've now owned my MS for 5 days & already have found a few improvements I'd like to recommend. What's the best way to to do this? Parking Distance Units: As I live in the UK, we measure our speed in mph but short distances in centimetres. I'd like to see an additional setting, so I can set the...

    Model S (UK) - ordering, PCP & poor communication (delivery experience)

    Just thought I'd write a post of my experience ordering my Model S. I order an MS 60D just before the cut off in mid April, but then (as the price was significantly reduced) upgraded it to a 75D (cost me an extra £1,500). A lot of calls back & forth between the sales rep & all was good, sorted...

    Latest Firmware 17.24.30 (UK)

    Just got the latest update 17.24.30 this morning. Contains Autopark: Perpendicular Parking & Display Brightness. These were already there, but I'm guessing slightly improved?

    Charging around Bournemouth area

    Looking forward to picking up my new Model S 60D end of June/early July. Within 2 weeks of collection, I'm staying at a holiday park around 5 miles from Bournemouth & wonder how best to charge? I'll be able to get there OK, but not sure if I'll have access to a 3-pin outlet to let the car...
