Update. So I booked it in again. A few days later they cancelled my appointment and sent my an email saying again they are aware of the issue and it will be fixed in a later update. It feels they will keep saying this until my warranty runs out on the MCU then they will tell me they can fix...

Just an update. My local Tesla dealer told me after investing that it was just a firmware issue and HQ knew about this bug and would fix it in a firmware update. Although after researching myself I’m convinced it’s the eMMC failing, I patiently waited for v10 update. (Does anyone know of any...

Hi all. I’ve had my Model S for just under five years and I love it to bits. However, last week we just completed a 2300 mile road trip to the south of France. During this trip the Main screen started to play up, I’m guessing due to the heat, but not definite. Any graphics or writing on it...

Sorry to say, no it doesn’t.

We traveled to France in our Model S in 2017, there was no issues with charging. However, as numbers of Teslas have risen drastically since then the situation could be different. We are heading to the south of France the last week of August too, so any update on here maybe to late for you. As...

Reduce top speed, reduce acceleration, maximise regeneration (as said above this can be a game), don’t travel up and down hills as much, don’t brake until below 5mph, (another game) Sticking to the speed limits helps lots too. Turn on your favourite tunes or enjoy the silence of your car, chill...

I’ve just received my insurance renewal from Tesla’s apparently preferred insurance company Direct Line. Last year it was £532, and now they want £666. That’s a £134 increase btw. In the past year my wife and I have had no change in circumstances, (apart from both aging an extra year ofc) and...

Yes that's the one. Thanks so much. 3 minutes after my post, such a fast response time. Thank you again.

A number of months ago I remember reading an alternative view of EVs. In a world where everyone drives EVs and has done for a hundred years, a new car in town promises to be able to refuel in minutes by using petrol and the writer is excited to be heading to test drive this new petrol car...

Well done to both of you. It's an amazing car, I'm sure you will both love them. What colours did you go for?

I've been reading some posts on another forum, and it seems that speedo accuracy on some EVs is like most ICE cars I've ever had ie about ten percent faster than it should be. These weren't Tesla owners btw. Ive checked a number of times my Tesla speedo against at least two other GPS devices...

Final Update Hastings Direct £3,5000 NFU £1283 Excess £1600 (Actually confirmed my postcode was the main issue to the price) Compare The Market - Cheapest Admiral Little Black Box £1300 That`s about it, I think I`ve covered all the sites and insurance brokers that have been recommended and a...

Thanks Arg for confirming with a link, I had read earlier h and l but when I googled it I only found handr broker in Scotland. I'm now waiting for a call back from Home & Legacy . They have informed me they currently insure over 130 Tesla MS. I will update when I get a price from them. I hope...

Summery Update of my findings so far. (For the record I'm over 50 with Full 9 Years NCD, and zero convictions and zero accidents, but estimated 20k miles p.a. to be fair.) For the Quotes [Fully Comp, Social Only] I managed to get the excess ranges from £500 to £1850 First Point, (Dan), Hiscox...

Just an update. First Point, (Dan), Hiscox Northampton broker, they can`t quote as it doesn't have a Cat 5 tracker on it. Saga (Holly Wilson) after doing a full 15 minute quote told me they don`t cover Electric cars at all, btw the very first quest was my reg plate and I confirmed it was an...
