I can’t offer much other than I would be fairly confident you’ll be getting a call to arrange delivery in time for Q1 end. Albeit 3 years ago your timeline is likely to be similar to mine, car produced Dec and en route from early Jan. pick up in March.

Generally IME the car not reporting accurate data is when TeslaFi isn’t polling because it’s giving the car an opportunity to sleep. It’s pretty easy to start and finish a journey whilst TeslaFi has suspended polling, have a look in the raw data section at the times in question and see what...

At least there’s no pretext of there being a PDI in these cases o_O

Yes, that form will trigger Tesla’s eventual response. I would ask Richard Symons for a quote. He has bought/sold more used Tesla’s than anyone else and is very highly regarded. It will be very interesting to see how his valuation compares to Tesla’s trade in. If Tesla take the car in p/x they...

Horses for courses but for peace of mind I’d be taking it to Tesla, and also be asking for them to check the car over - especially whilst in warranty.

The only thing I would do differently is spend longer doing it :). I picked some nice hotels that just so happened to have Destination Chargers (although this does seem to go hand in hand) and would have liked to stayed longer. The Isle of Eriska near Oban and the Devonshire Arms near Skipton on...

I agree, I don't think "custom" build and the M3 go together, whereas the modest S/X volume tends to mean a car is built for you on order. The wait last time seemed an eternity, and the comms then were less than great - but considerably better than now! It does make a huge difference that this...

Map of of week long trip to Scotland last June. Fabulous driving roads.

Your Wife, not for the first time I suspect, is right. Croatia is beautiful. We went to Rovinj last September and stayed at the Grand Park hotel - which has destination chargers. Highly recommended.

Did you custom order or pick up from inventory?

That’s true, although an advantage of PCP is the ability to hand the car back. You could box clever and raise enough to max out the deposit at 30% of purchase price, thus borrowing less at the higher PCP rate.

The roundabout mis counting is a known issue and been like it for some time. I never rely on it and always look at the screen to be sure.

That was in order to cover his 1000kms journey. I would have thought that’s exactly what the car and Superchargers are for.

What bad charging habits do you see?

@yobigd20 the glimmer of hope is that the message twice says ‘may’ not ‘will’ impact connected features.

This stuff is great and smells just right: Dodo Juice Supernatural Tar & Glue Remover (500ml) | Ultimate Finish Most importantly, did it work on your car? ;)

That’s wrong. The customers are not complaining about something that’s specifically excluded, by which you mean degradation. The customers are complaining about the capping of their capacity, as you well know.

41k miles in 2 years 11 months. Two minor warranty issues over that time, both sorted by mobile service. These forums are the equivalent of the GP’s surgery, only the sick make an appearance o_O I had exactly the same apprehension you’re currently experiencing - and my previous three cars were...

“Next release will fix XXXXXX” is the Service Centres standard response and has been for years. They are right, eventually. ;)

The tesla accessories

He’s a bit of a Tesla legend is Simon. He used to do so many in one day the rumour was he didn’t actually sleep. He also fits better interior LED’s and that sort of thing.

I did Surrey/SE London to Manchester and back the other week, mostly used Nav on AP and it was fine. In heavy motorway traffic the lane changing isn’t as positive as I need it to be at times. It also hasn’t mastered leaving the motorway well, and knowing its’ limitations I just engage ‘standard’...

I agree, I wasn’t replying to the OP I was replying to @NewbieT. ;)

It does increase range anxiety because it creates a false impression of the range of the car, exactly as the OP reported. Clearly switching to percentage in the binnacle display doesn’t alter the range but removes a false indicator. On journeys where range is challenged using the energy graph...

I’ve had this a fair few times over the last few months. Weirdly if it’s going to happen it’s at the same point in my drive - about 2 minutes in. A couple of bongs, dome lights on and padlock on the MCU1 screen unlocks. I tap the padlock and the car relocation and lights go out. I figure it’s a...

You’ve mentioned plenty there and a couple of observations from me, particularly about your journey. Personally, coming from London I would have stopped at Membury West on the way The battery would be nice and warm so you’d get a much higher charge rate than from a colder battery, which you will...

Whilst I've not tested it personally, I have read from other owners that this is the case.

I agree, Richard sells more used Tesla’s than anyone else - including Tesla themselves. He’s extremely knowledgable and knows the cars and the innumerable changes inside out. If I were in the market for used I wouldn’t hesitate to use him, in fact when it’s time to move my S on I know I can...

The chap that runs this website is a long term owner and IT whizz. I think his site pulls together all the cars that are available across the market. He’s been known to see cars Tesla are selling without them being current on the website :) Tesla Info: new and used cars for sale

They have had major problems issuing invoices for used cars, to the extent that prospective owners are still waiting despite paying a deposit many weeks ago. :eek: Tesla are saying ‘technical issues’ with a new invoicing system. A theory going round, unsubstantiated, is that Tesla have decided...

@Mr Miserable interesting your view is the S/X are coming in complete rather than as ‘parts’ to Tilburg to avoid the 10% import tax. It certainly cuts the journey time down as the rail crossing to Houston took a lifetime. I had my production/delivery timeline down to within 3 days and was bang...

Which is pretty poor in itself. I think there’s reference to this is Musk’s biography, where no screen this size has been made to automotive grade. He said something like ‘so what’.

There’s a Tesla/EV specialist in Cheltenham, so not too far from you. Matt Cleevely: https://www.cleevelymotors.co.uk/ Many owners take their Tesla’s to him and he’s a fraction of the price Tesla charge. Often owners will get him to do a pre warranty expiry check up, and then take the car to...

It depends on what’s important to you as to how old/new you can go, and budget of course. A facelift car is a must if you want the potential of adding FSD at some point, as these are cars that have AP2 or higher. The MCU (Media Control Unit) or ‘iPad screen’ was updated to MCU2 in cars built...

I’d suggest the fact that updates are included in new car warranty wordings says that Tesla don’t think the original wording was sufficient.

Most Insurers will allow an ‘introductory’ discount if you can provide a letter from your employer/fleet insurer to confirm you’ve driven claim free for X years. Some have a form specifically for this purpose, so worth investigating that - it will help with the spreadsheet ;)

I read it the same way. At the moment OP has a company car, and he’s changing to a car allowance which will be taxed and NI’d under the PAYE system. The 45p/25p applies, with tax due back on the difference between this and what the employer pays.

I think the 80% charge limit kicks in even if the site isn’t 50% full, pretty sure today the message came up on my dashboard and the site wasn’t 50% full, it’s just one that is known to be busy. Irrespective, it’s only advisory and you just use the slider to increase the rate if you need more...

Yesterday there was one stall not working, and the nav showed reduced service. Maybe it’s being repaired at the moment.

I think you may very well be right. The battery capping and huge reductions in charge rates are worrying for the whole fleet. The total absence of any communication from Tesla about this has led affected owners to start a class action and the NHTSA are looking into whether there’s a case to...

I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned in the thread, but I’d have thought the Model Y is probably the biggest threat to residuals than anything else. I wonder how many M3 owners would have chosen that variant if the MY had been available as well?

If there is something in inventory that meets your requirements, with a software tweak if necessary, I would badger the hell out of them on Monday and whenever they are open next week. If you can’t get them to budge at this time of the year that I’m afraid you never will. Delivery numbers at...

Yes, I’ve read a number of posts from people in exactly the same position. Tesla always been rubbish at CPO, they aren’t interested in anything other than selling new cars. I’m afraid I’ve nothing positive to add, they make a great car but the rest of the company is an object lesson on how not...

No doubt you’ll have a hard copy for them to read and acknowledge for when they say they can’t find the email.

Aviva have never liked Tesla’s, it’s not a change of stance. There have been quite a few S & X’s stolen using the key fob booster trick, and the cars all disappeared without trace - straight over the Channel in a container and chopped up for parts. It was the Tesla Owners Group that lobbied...

Absolutely! The winter is a killer for kW/m and if you extrapolated the short journey energy costs you’d never trust the car to go more than 100 miles. The reality is there is a huge ‘departure tax’ during the winter, my consumption for my 4 mile commute virtually doubles, but I couldn’t care...

if you are just looking at the raw data via TeslaFi then that won’t affect the state of the car.

I think your car is behaving normally, but there is no doubt compared to a few months ago, the car is idling for much longer than it ever used to. Whether that’s by design or some sort of bug I’ve no idea, knowing Tesla it could easily be either! Your TeslaFi settings are normal. One thing I...

Is the mirror housing opening to its max? They are known to stick and not quite extend fully. This restricts the view and makes it look like it’s the mirror glass that’s the problem.

I would now buy FSD with a new car as I do use Summon quite a bit, and like the Nav on AP even though it’s barely fit for purpose at the mo. I also think over the next few years the FSD features will start to arrive, and for PCP purposes would add that at the start rather than stump up a lump of...
