In the UK the SC network is far from complete and so the 85kwh is a must if you plan on any long distance driving.
I would consider the 85d because of the extra range but the earliest we will see that here in the UK is 12 months from now.
My daily commute is 50 miles and that's equivalent to...
I've kept my Mercedes S class. It came in handy this weekend - we did a 700 mile round trip which we just couldn't have done in the Tesla because of the lack of Superchargers here in the UK. Also noticed how very comfortable the S class is compared to the Tesla.
So might be keeping both for a...
I did a 450 mile round trip from Manchester to London. The "worst" economy was the first part when it was stop start down to Birmingham. From a full charge I managed just 120 miles with 40 left "in the tank". Driving at 80mph+ also had a significant impact on the range.
I estimate that driving...
The car comes with a pod point card. I've got CYC, ecotricity, source London & polar cards/apps. All the apps are flaky so it's worth buying the RFID cards. Given I spend £130 filling up my other car, the cost of the cards is negligible.
I can confirm the Superchargers in Westfield centre, Shepherds Bush are working and online. They are not officially open but we had an emergency (12 miles of charge left, and the charging port wouldn't open) and we went there hoping to use the Source London chargers. The port did open after a...
I have an 85. It is a lot of driving for one day, but I've done it several times before in my Mercedes s320d. In the Mercedes, I would have done it on one tank of fuel, and the S Class is so comfortable I would have felt fresh. Unfortunately the Tesla is not as comfortable, and so I feel very...
I drove into London today - I had 180 miles as per typical setting when I left the Birmingham supercharger. I was due in Central London but rain & stop start traffic meant I needed to park the car somewhere safe and get on the Underground as I was rapidly running out of charge.
We were down to...
Interesting Mark ... To be fair the customer service has been very good so far - a couple of glitches which were all sorted.
So I don't anticipate any problems going forward.
Thanks for the gossip!
Just to update this thread. I got the one from Tesla and it looks very good. I can set it to 10 Amps. It charges at a measly 4mph - which is fine for topping up my daily commute trips. There is a public charger within 200 yards which charges at 20mph and I can use that if I need a faster charge.
I will double check - but I was at the service station for an hour, and I'm fairly certain I added 60 miles to my range.
I'll take a photo of the screen next time I charge up!
I (stupidly) didn't pay the additional £1250 for dual chargers on my Model s.
I figured my daily commute is 50 miles round trip and I would use the SuC network.
But in the 10 days I've had the car I've driven 750 miles(!) and I'm yearning for long road trips.
There are no SuC near me in...
thanks Nick. I only went for single which I think was a mistake. The trip to Nivelles is a bit too close for comfort - but I can't see any "fast" chargers near Folkestone or Calais. So I'll have to take it easy on the pedal...
