Yeah thats something I'd consider as well. I guess my question is more about buying as a private customer vs salary sacrifice rather than PCP specifically (I know I titled it wrong)

Sorry, question that looks like it’s probably been asked to death but hopefully not the usual question(s). My M3LR goes back soon and I always planned on getting an MY after. Not bothered about waiting for the potential refresh, would rather have stalks, etc. So quotes from salary sacrifice...

Anyone know if it’s possible to delay delivery or rather order in advance? I want to take advantage of the low APR on the MY but my M3 lease doesn’t end for a few more months. Lease company say they can order 6 months in advance but they can’t offer anything close to Tesla’s offer.

I guess the main difference is most dealers are part of franchised groups where as Tesla can manage it all centrally, which makes things more efficient. The whole experience has improved massively though, it certainly wasn't as good and efficient when I first got my car almost 4 years ago -...

Do the adaptive lights work in dipped beam? I had a loaner the other day (my car is too old) and I'm sure I could see them moving around. That or the lights needed adjusting, definitely not ruling that out :D

You're right, I noticed the auto-wipers were pretty poor when I first test drove an M3 nearly 2 years ago now. I vaguely remember around that time people talking about them being vastly improved by a software update. I've had my car since October 2021 and they haven't improved - in the day...

They usually always ask me for the card and PIN, except for maybe once or twice. They also seem to ask for the PIN when sat in the waiting area with plenty of other people around which they shouldn't do really. They've also changed the PIN a few times and told me that it will revert back when I...

The only time I have this issue is when the car doesn't have signal so it won't wake up. What happens if you go into the Tesla app when it fails?

I was given an old blue Model S from there a few months back. I was surprised at how dirty it was inside, not very pleasant at all.

I switched from Agile to Go the other day, had the "technical issue" error when trying to accept the T&Cs - a quick message to them on Twitter and it was sorted out the following day and came into effect at midnight.

I find the whole smart meter process very odd. When the Octopus engineer was here the other month, I was chatting to him and he was from about 10 miles away yet it took a number of escalations before I could get an appointment. As I didn't switch my gas they wouldn't install a new gas meter so...

I decided to switch to Go a few days ago which will probably work out better for me. Mainly because I have no mobile signal in the garage and struggle to wake the car up, so on Go I can turn on scheduled charging at 00:30 in the car and use ev.energy to stop at 4:30. Might be an issue in the...

It's a shame you can't customise the right scroller on the steering wheel (like I believe you can on the Model S?), I only really touch the screen whilst driving to adjust the temperature but I still find it takes a bit of concentration to get my fat fingers to hit the arrows.

I haven't tried it myself but would turning on the rear fog light help to provide a bit more ambient light?

Finally getting my smart meter replaced this week through Octopus. Does anyone know if they will replace my gas meter too which also hasn't been commissioned even though I didn't switch my gas to Octopus?
