    Owners in Essex - A Favour?

    With great care! (No, not really). I have a precisely fixed front-wheel wheel chock combined with a thick piece of carpet hanging on the inner wall of the garage.

    Owners in Essex - A Favour?

    My double-garage is exactly 5 metres deep with the door closed. My MS60 fits in with three quarters of an each clearance front and rear.

    Best energy provider for EVs

    My wife and I would love to live in a Passive House. I'm not sure if we ever will but we have taken some steps in that direction with our current lifestyle and home. Both our cars are fully electric and just after Christmas we had a 6 kWp solar PV system installed with a Powerwall 2. I fully...

    Model S Winter Heating

    My wife often complains of cold feet in the Tesla in winter and so I have to make sure that the AC is switched off except when needed to clear the windows.

    I am scheduled to have a Powerwall 2 fitted on Friday, all being well.

    Premium Upgrade Package?

    I believe that the most significant part of the Premium package is the HEPA filter. London is notorious for illegal levels of air quality and the Tesla's cabin filtration system is (for me) one of it's most important features.

    Clock Change - Economy-7

    Thank you for reminding us! I am probably over-thinking this but for those of us on Economy 7 metering, do we need to change the charging timings on our cars? My electricity supplier told me that smart meters usually retain the same time settings all year through. i.e. mine was fitted during...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    This looks like a pretty good quote, considering it was done online. Very recently, another forum suggested that a better quote could be secured by ringing a special Direct Line number: 0800 051 0036.

    About to take delivery in the UK

    I shall follow DJP31's lead on this and email Gatwick a copy of 'Things to check when you pick up your Tesla' and I will ask them to let me know about any niggles before I set a date to collect. I would prefer it if any such problems are rectified before collection, even if collection is...

    Anyone near Hertford?

    I decided against a Rolec unit after I conducted a poll on a Tesla Facebook Group: Out of 43 respondents that had Rolec units, 13 have had problems. I shall be going for an ABL wall charger which come highly recommended.

    Anyone near Hertford?

    A socketed (non-tethered) wall charger has the benefit of allowing another electric car to charge at your home should you own a non-Tesla electric car at some stage. We bought our first electric car (NIssan Leaf) twelve months ago and fitted a tethered charger which, with the benefit of...

    New Superchargers on M6 @ Charnock Richard and T5 Heathrow

    Sorry, I forgot - you do indeed need a Facebook account, plus it is a 'closed' group: i.e. new joiners are vetted. Don't be put off, I was allowed to join :D
