    Tesla Price Reductions

    Looks like the 0% will also apply to the MY. Tempted to place an order at zero % finance. Push for Sept registrations maybe?

    Granny charger

    Thanks for raising this. We’re taking our newly acquired Mercedes EQE on a Spain / Portugal road trip this summer and was hoping to use our Tesla granny charger as a backup. I’m pleased to report it’s worked fine with the Merc. Phew - relief - as I was planning to charge where we are staying.

    Scratched windscreen

    Got the same issue with my M3 within 2 weeks of a 3 year lease. Really annoyed at the beginning and thought the same - cheap Tesla glass - but the windscreen has been hit with a fair few stones without cracking! Nothing you can do - either get used to it or replace the windscreen. I’m privately...

    Controversial Opinion?

    I’ve discovered this first hand today. I’ve been thinking about terminating my 3 year M3 lease early for a while. I’m half way through my lease now. However back in December the early termination fee was circa £3k, today the lease company wants £4.5k. I thought it would have gone down not up...

    MYP Vibration at 55-60+ MPH

    Folks, appreciate my sentiments are from a M3 LR but I had the same issue with Vibration at high speeds when new. I had my wheels balanced, swapped and tyre pressures dropped. I’m pleased to say either I’ve gotten used to some vibration due to firmish ride or as suggested by Tesla tech tyres...

    Carrying bikes on the back of a Model 3 Performance in the UK

    I’ve been meaning to get some bike carriers for my roof bars so thanks for the top tip. Wasn’t sure which ones were compatible with the Tesla roof bars.

    Tesla Roadside Assistance - appalling

    Might as well add my thoughts - my X5 had an identical problem, called BMW roadside assistance, they were out within an hour, wheel off, stone out, job done. That’s roadside assistance.

    MY inventory stock

    We currently have a M3 LR and looking to make the move to a MY as we need the extra space and wife likes the idea of a slightly higher riding car. There are loads of MY LRs in inventory / in stock via leasing brokers but is there anyway in checking whether any have USS / check VIN. She is...

    Just received my new car without ultrasonic sensors

    We currently have a M3 LR and are looking at ending the current lease early and taking on a MY LR as need some extra space the Y provides over the M3. There are loads of inventory MYs and some lease brokers have a fair few in stock too. Is there anyway in checking (the VIN no) if any of these...

    Gardx ... any reviews?

    Did the same and applied BMW protect - basically a branded GardX product. I bought the 2 stage kit on eBay for £15. Bargain - took me an hour or so to apply.

    Trip to Rotterdam Via EuroTunnel

    Just came back from France on the eurotunnel. I agree the single deck is much easier to navigate and where electric cars should travel. On my return leg from France they clearly didn’t care and I travelled on the double decker with normal cars.

    Gatwick supercharger experiences?

    I did exactly the same trip from Northamptonshire a few months back. I was fully charged when I left so only needed to charge on my return journey. You’ll need to come off the M23 and drive around Crawley before you arrive at the supercharger / service centre. The sales folks were great - we...

    Pearl White Front bumper yellowing

    I received my white M3 LR in December and noticed in the last few weeks that the drivers side front bumper where it meets the front wing has discoloured compared with the wing - seems to have yellowed. The nearside looks fine however. I’ve had no repair done / damage and looking at a photo on...

    Charging Experience France

    Had a great journey to Normandy today in our M3 LR - stopped at the Folkestone Eurotunnel supercharger and had another quick charge at the aire de la Baie de Somme an hour or so sound of Calais. Loads of superchargers were available but non Tesla EV owners were queuing for the Ionity chargers...

    Rumour of free premium for leases cars ending

    Tigermad - might be worth giving Tesla a call again. Might be who you get on the line as opposed to anything else.
