VaDA is past the 22.5k mile mark and had some warranty issues, now addressed. Squeaky front suspension ball joints replaced and drivers window realigned so not closing on glass door pillar 🫣. All sorted but bit of faffing with Service Centre over dates and whether done at home or not. Been...

VaDA had her first birthday last Saturday and was rewarded with a good interior and exterior clean and polish. Still looks as good as she did on delivery, perhaps even better with her naked Gemini’s and Tessories lug nut and centre cap covers. Dr Sexy and I have done 18,500 miles in the year...

I’ve had the dog guard for a wee while now and happy with it. Couple of things to watch: Firstly I install the parcel shelf when dog not in the boot and when you push back the shelf it catches on the top of the two struts that attach to the rear of the seats. Mine didn’t come with caps and the...

Snowy day trip from the Borders up to Aberdeen and back. USS doesn’t work in the snow. Best thing about the holiday update is the ‘automatic indicator mode’ though I do also like Apple Music.

For those of you without USS this Q I can confirm that when you do have it, it doesn’t work in the snow.

According to Mr M, MSC Immacolata is due to return to Shanghai to pick up Tesla’s destined for our first 2023 Q1 shipment to UK, so worth keeping on the tracker.

I also found that you had to watch the regen braking in the snow too. Instinctively taking your foot off the accelerator as you might do in an ICE to just coast and use engine braking definitely doesn’t have the same effect! You really need to manage the accelerator carefully to slow down in snow.

Had our first dump of snow here, now gone from the initial dusting to an even covering of around 4”. White A road today from home to Edinburgh and bad enough to catch a lorry out with a jack-knife. VaDA was stable and predictable during the journey through the snow and I was pleased with how she...

Morning - I’ve not noticed to be honest. It’s been -7oC here overnight and it also snowed last night. I’ve just been putting the defrost on using the app for Dr S3XY to head off to school in a nice warm car. Do you mean the rear view mirror or the rear view camera?

Will those with USS still have it working after Tesla launch the camera software upgrade? Or will it’s be turned off and parking sensors rely solely on the cameras?

After a trip to B&Q I can also confirm that the MY will even accommodate 3m lengths of guttering!

Trip to B&Q today. I can confirm that a MY can accommodate 3m lengths of plastic guttering in the car with the boot shut. Voluminous VaDA 😀

9 months watching and never known so many boats in transit! Q4 looks to be a bumper Q at least by comparison to Q2 and Q3 2022.

That’s good news for you, Tusker are generally conservative with delivery dates and early Jan is an odd date for a Shanghai car, so likely to be on the same timeline as yours.

Hope fellow Q2 graduates enjoying your cars, VaDA is just fine and now getting her juice through Intelligent Octopus. I saw an interesting car available through my work Tusker ‘arriving soon’ pre-orders which I still check to see what’s due to come in. It’s a MYP in red with premium upholstery...
