    Deal Done, Model S 75D ordered

    looks excellent, was tempted for white myself but couldn't find any with a black interior and rest of specs as I liked it in current inventory think I'm too messy and with a messy dog, think the interior would get to marked if I had a white interior, but it looks great

    Finally Ordered An X 75D

    agreed, my accountant told me no VAT back on the purchase and agree it's only a real first year benefit, which for me is good as it means I don't have to dip into personal funds for the deposit. then depends how long you keep it, how you depreciate it via the company and what you class as the...

    Finally Ordered An X 75D

    I've got a 911 and currently get about 15mpg normal to 20mpg gentle driving. Also have to put premium unleaded in which is more expensive than standard. Based on the above and presumed milage, the maths added up easily. Sounds like you are doing similar to me as I'm buying my S through my...

    Deal Done, Model S 75D ordered

    would love to see the look of your car. I've got a White VFR 800 motorbike, and always fancied getting a storm trooper outfit to ride it, something like this picture :-)

    Deal Done, Model S 75D ordered

    Hi All, Thanks to all of you who helped me with my questions over the xmas and new year period. Had two test drives over the last 2 weeks that have resulted in my buying a 'Current Inventory' MS 75D Spec is Obsidian Black Premium Sunroof ( needed for top box) 19 inch wheels Black interior...

    Finally Ordered An X 75D

    Hi Jay, Yes, you would be correct in terms of if you are drawing power to the car as you are not generating enough to fill it. The thing with the zappi is that it will divert excess power to the car rather than too the grid, i.e. better to use your generated power for yourself as you need it...

    Finally Ordered An X 75D

    If you have solar on your property. look into the Zappii charger, it's what I'm going to have installed as it works as a normal charger i.e. from the mains power, or will take the excess that you are feeding back to the grid and put it into the car, it's intelligent and works out what to feed at...

    Navigation maps updated 2nd Jan 17

    love Waze and use it as my navigation of choice, would be good to see them use that in the Tesla's but would they partner with Google to do it.

    About to order a 75D Model X and worried I'm missing something major!

    I tried the exit motorway on autopilot on my test drive on Sunday. The one thing I was told is that you can't indicate in advance of the junction, you must start the indicators as you arrive at the dotted line for the exit and then it will take the exit for you on autopilot. Worked perfectly...

    Had my test drive yesterday

    Just had confirmation that my finance has been approved :-) Still need to a couple of things before I can proceed. 1) Wife to drive car, shouldn't be a major problem as it's a comfy car and she will be happy I'm getting rid of the 911 as she refuses to dive it as it's too uncomfortable for...

    Had my test drive yesterday

    Thanks for the info, I was under the impression now (maybe incorrectly) that there 75D and the 100D were to all intents the same speed, now the 75D had been unlocked (uncorked) and given the speed boost in 0 - 60. I thought the only tangible difference was the range and maybe the ultimate top...

    Had my test drive yesterday

    I think the other car companies are struggling to change their business models and they didn't expect Tesla to be able to scale up so quickly and for people to take a gamble on a new company with a different business model. We have to remember that we are dealing with organisations that are...

    Had my test drive yesterday

    yup, won't be going via Tesla for the sale of my car, will be selling privately or via a specialist on a commission based model, which is for me the easiest way to do it.

    Had my test drive yesterday

    Hi All, Following my post earlier this week I had my test drive yesterday. Took out a MS 100D for a 50 minute drive and then an MX for a 30 minute drive. As I thought it is the MS that is most suitable to me, while I like the X and the space, the falcon wing doors are the issue for me as they...
