There is no customs duty to pay for buying goods anywhere in the EU / EEA, that is the very basis of the EEA AGREEMENT for free trade as far as I know. For this reason you can buy from any Amazon website in any EU country and you will only be charged the difference in VAT between the two...

Oops I didn't realise a blowout meant rapid deflation in the USA. I meant literal blowout of the tyre where pieces of the tyre are flying off the rims!

Another interesting point is that VAT is not due in ending country if more than 6 months old and more than 6000km used! Might need to explore the CPO options in other countries where Tesla is based in the EU :)Importing vehicles into the UK - GOV.UK "Second-hand vehicles You don’t usually have...

VAT isn't normally exempted for other products that I have bought from the EU, you pay the difference in VAT if the VAT one paid abroad is cheaper. But no customs to pay. Didn't look into it further as want sure if I could buy the version with the steering wheel on the right side for the UK in...

But Norway has agreements with the EU hence why they pay EU levies (for market access) while not having influence on formation of EU regulation unlike the UK, but both norway and Uk have their own currencies instead of the euro

Thought Norway had some special agreement with the EU just like the UK for trade purposes. In the UK i have often bought stuff from various EU countries online as its often cheaper buying in the EU even after accounting for postage charges. I just get charged the extra difference in VAT and...

dont give Bjorn (the famous one making the tesla videos) ideas or instead of nimber he will start buying more teslas in norway and resell in denmark using your idea :) Interesting query though.

Once it was a nail in the rear tyre and could safely pull over on the motorway. The other time it was again the rear tyre at max motorway speed and vehicle jolted and had to grab the wheel harder to keep it in lane and could see pieces of tyre flying off in my side view mirror. Took longer to...

What happens if one buys elsewhere in the EU and then moves car to Denmark, does it get taxed the difference in VAT and registration fee of 180% again. Shocking amount of tax.

Now I know why my previous Nissan was written off by insurer for what I thought was minor damage when I slid sideward on some at leaves at 20mph and kerbed my front alloy wheel and bent some part around the wheel and it pressed on the door. I was furious they wrote off the car without even...

Do you use screen wash that has been approved to -20 Celcius or concentrated screen wash for those colder days. It does help. I always envy the Ford cars that have the front windscreen heated wire embedded in the windscreen. They worked best in difficult conditions in my opinion. Too bad they...

Don't have a Tesla yet but tyre blow outs at motorway speeds are not fun. Have had two blow outs over the years, both at motorway speeds, once when was stuck in between two 18 wheeler trucks and that was not fun as they couldn't be bothered and were blocking me from pulling into the side. I...

Thanks for the reminder about the voice bug reporting feature, think might have seen something briefly a while back on one of byorn Tesla videos but had forgotten about it.

I am in the UK and am looking into the feasibility of buying a Model X but reading about these issues makes one wary. Do you have any links to UK Tesla forums where I can look into this more. Most of the forums I have read are more about USA models. NOT much information for issues in the UK...

Please suggest to Tesla to update the phone app to include bug reporting feature for the app and also the car separately via the app with feature to include photos and video via the app. That would be an awesome way to document and log the problems officially and they could via their database...
