    Flat tyre (am I missing something?)

    I had a flat tyre last Christmas, it took 7 days for anyone close enough for me to get to to have one in stock - I know that was due to the holiday closure but it was lucky we had an alternative car to run. I did try the Tesla callout number, I was on hold for 2 hours (yes, that is not a typo!)...

    Last few miles per hour do not regen so well

    Yes I used to use the cruise control all the time in my previous car for that but I have found the Model X system to be a little skittish and it often braked for hazards AFTER I had past them, I have pretty much given up using it which is a shame as it was one of the things I was expecting to be...

    Last few miles per hour do not regen so well

    50% plus on the battery (it's never been below 20%), temperature was fine (I'm aware that low battery temp restricts regen, the dash has yellow warning lines when that is the case). This is every day use, after journeys, charged battery etc so I think it is a decision the programming is making...

    Last few miles per hour do not regen so well

    Don't know if anything has changed but I am recently aware that the car (X) does not stop from low speed as well as it did. I did a test today and if you let the car full slow down under regen (with it set to max) it gets very close to stopped then the last little bit seems to relax the braking...

    Dashcam recordings to SSD

    Good to know - thank you

    Dashcam recordings to SSD

    This may well have been covered in the past but has anyone tried using an SSD drive as a dashcam save location (instead of a memory stick) - not sure what technical challenges it might present but was figuring on a 250Gb SSD for low power requirements and not having the spinning disk of a normal...

    Octopus

    A little off topic, but I just moved to Symbio, really competitive standard rate, environmentally based ethos and either no exit fee, or lock your prices in for a period for price surety and a small exit charge - no brainer for my usage profile even without an off-peak cheap period and well...

    Speed assist with cruise control

    Dunno if it the same on the M3 as the MX but on mine, if I press the lever (which originally controls Cruise/autodrive) you can control the speed it is set to. A partial press down reduces cruise speed by 1mph, or a press all the way down by 5mph - so press down twice would reduce the set speed...

    Used 2019 Model X 100D vs. Used 2019 Model X Standard Range?

    In the UK you can only (seem to) buy a new Tesla by putting it in the basket on their website and then checking out. Bad from a customer/seller perspective in trying to work out the details of what you are getting unless you go along to one of the few showrooms they still have, but good in so...

    Does the battery outer case get very hot?

    A bit off topic but what ever floats your boat :p:rolleyes:

    Less than 2 weeks old and going off road

    It did, or at least I didn't notice it doing anything, might have been a little distracted... It is now!!!

    Less than 2 weeks old and going off road

    Not quite how the title makes it sound - brand new Model X, going along a country road from the supermarket back home, a tractor coming the other way decides that he needs more than half the road despite having room to spare on his side, leaving me a choice of a rather large tractor wheel or a...

    Used 2019 Model X 100D vs. Used 2019 Model X Standard Range?

    I get what you mean about not wanting to spend effort fighting that battle with everything else that is going on - I am curious tho', does the US have similar distance selling rules and credit card terms. Here in the UK you have 7 days from any online transaction to back out, no reason...

    Used 2019 Model X 100D vs. Used 2019 Model X Standard Range?

    How did you lose your deposit? In the UK distance selling rules would have made that completely refundable, and if you paid by Credit Card you could just go to your card provider if Tesla would not play ball and insist on a refund - do you not have similar rules in the US? It was not as...

    How many cancellations?

    If you had a car order in that qualifies for the full grant as was and would not now, then postponing instead of cancelling has to be worth it if you think you might come back later - tho' I think there is a 9 month limit between being registered for the grant and getting the car - the gov might...
