    2023.12...

    I know the possibility not Summon working is a joke but was Summon really disabled? It used to work for me maybe 18 months ago. Now the lights just finish but my Model S doesn't move anywhere. Does anyone have a MCU2 Model S that actually has a working Summon. I've also noticed Sat Nav...

    Tesla app down - 503 maintenance error?

    I wonder what the odds are of there being a Daily Mail article titled "Tesla drivers forced to smash car window to rescue dog" by end of today

    Tesla app down - 503 maintenance error?

    Anyone else experiencing this? Fortunately I was merely trying to twiddle with charge settings but think there must be some poor soul who is locked out of their car. Maybe it's just a London issue.

    [UK] 2023.2.x

    Installing 23.2.10 - not expecting anything interesting (just says "minor updates"). What I really want to know on a complete tangential basis is when they will fix summon and release dates for the new Model S!

    [UK] 2022.36

    I have a 2018 Model S. I think 36.5 is just bug fixes

    Give Energy Inverter

    Apologies for asking a tangential question (but I don't want to start too many non Tesla related threads). I'm thinking of using GroWatt. I fully appreciate they are a Chinese company with limited or no customer support (other than from the installer) but the price is a notable difference and...

    Getting Google maps to show nav points and zoom like my binacle

    I have a 2018 Model S with MCU2 in the UK. As much as I like Google Maps on the main screen, I often prefer looking at the binacle (i.e. the small sat nav display behind the wheel) for sat nav instructions as it shows (through a dot on the map) the turn points and zooms in and out more...

    Getting a used Tesla, deciding between years VS budget

    I mean even with a MCU2 upgrade of a 2017 model, a 2021 Model S isn't the same. The 2021 model is more efficient and has one pedal driving (and of course a 2021 is still under warranty. Those matters aside, it's hard to think of any material differences and so, in respect of value for money...

    Curb rash!

    https://www.motoreasy.com/insurance/alloy I went with the above company. I think there's also nil excess for cars under 2 years (I have a 2018 Model S) so didn't qualify. All roughly around £200 for three years and allows you 4 repairs a year so it's a bargain.

    Curb rash!

    It's 4 claims a year (12 over three years). Different options on excess are available. Mine is £25 per wheel but with no claim limit for curb rash (i.e. limit exceeds the typical cost of curb rash). You can just Google alloy wheel insurance. Now my wife can parallel park all she wants ;-).

    Curb rash!

    I got 3 year alloy wheel insurance for £200.

    Help me understand the UK Tesla market

    In relation to your Model S analysis, I think you're spot on. The Model S is a bit too large for city driving (in London I can get through 7.0 ft width restrictions but I'd be really nervous with 6.7ft width restrictions). Having said that, I think they are better cars than the Model 3 (even...

    Third party garage to fix daylight running lights?

    Yes. Mine justbexpires. Model S has a 4 year warranty too. Mines just expired. Sod's law.

    Third party garage to fix daylight running lights?

    I have the usual failed DRL on my 2018 Model S 75D. 1) Tesla are charging GBP 1200 to get it fixed. I was thinking of buying a second hand one off eBay (only a few £100) and getting a third party garage to fix it. Has anyone had experience doing so? I guess the main question would be whether...
