    Tesla Finance Account Details

    Just to round this one up, I paid £1 over to the 95 account Friday evening without telling the seller the amount. It was confirmed on the sellers Tesla Finance later in the evening. I paid the balance to Tesla on Saturday when collected the car. A bit tricky with Halifax on a Saturday, but...

    Tesla Finance Account Details

    Unfortunately Halifax Banking don't confirm Citi Bank accounts. They didn't when I bought the Model 3 two years ago, and they still don't today.

    Hi, Hopefully buying a second had Y tomorrow privately, which has outstanding Tesla Finance on it. I want to pay Tesla direct, but just wanted to see if someone could confirm the account number I have been given for Tesla Financial Services. Struggling to get any info from Tesla! The...

    Model 3 stops charging after 5 minutes!

    Makes no difference if you start a "paid for" charge through the app, it still cuts out after 5 mins. When the 15 minutes runs out on podpoint the charger turns off and the light on the charger goes blue. When mine cuts out the charger light stays green, i.e. on.

    Model Y Standard Range 455km vs 430km WLTP

    No prob. I initially thought (hoped) the same as you. Currently got a RWD Model 3, and was hoping if/when the SR Y arrives with the structural pack and BYD the range will be a bit more than 430km.

    Comparison of june 2022 Shanghai MY LR with November 2022 Berlin MY SR

    That's because the Germany website is showing the default SR with upgrade alloys, which reduces the WLTP range from 455km to 430km.

    Comparison of june 2022 Shanghai MY LR with November 2022 Berlin MY SR

    I have some "AutoSocks" that would fit your 255 45 R19 Model Y tyre size. Have a look on AutoSock.co.uk for full info. They are a legally approved option to chains throughout the EU (except Austria apparently!) Much easier and quicker to put on. Just keep them in the car in case. £40 plus...

    1 month away from Tesla, best way to preserve LFP battery

    We have just returned from France/Spain after being away for 31 days (the whole of October). Left our RWD LFP 2022 at 67%, and it was at 63% on our return. I did check the app every few days. Hope that helps!

    Whats the name of your Tesla?

    El carro blanco. The white car. Pretty boring, and really only until I could work out a decent name for it, but it has been such since March. We have a place in Spain, and trying to learn the lingo a bit! (El coche blanco doesn't flow off the tongue as easily for those who were wondering😊)

    Model Y Standard Range 455km vs 430km WLTP

    Ignore my initial post, looks like I missed that some countries default to the 20" wheels, and this accounts for the difference. Idiot! 😒

    Hailstorm attack! (Driving home M25 Oct 23)

    We had our Passat Estate destroyer by hail in Spain about 7 years ago whilst driving. Every panel was dented! 😢 Strangely enough we are very close to where that happend at this exact moment, near Teruel.

    Model Y Standard Range 455km vs 430km WLTP

    Just been reading that the Model Y SR from Germany may be using the BYD LFP blade battery at 55kWh as opposed to the China car with the 60(ish) kWh LFP pouch. The WLTP for Germany, and a handfull of other countries is listed on Tesla.com as 430 km (267 miles). The WLTP for UK and the rest of...

    Just include a reference to UK consumer law, and the relevant section, probably relating to distance selling, which you can quickly google.

    New Energy Price Guarantee

    Don't think that qualifies as a fixed rate as you can exit at any time with no penalty? Plus you rate is way lower than the price cap. This is taken from the gov website. "If you’re on a fixed tariff If you’re on a fixed tariff at a higher rate caused by recent energy price rises, your...

    New Energy Price Guarantee

    Bear in mind that if you are on a fixed rate at the moment the new price policy is apparantly actually a discount of 17p per KWh of electric, and 4p per KWh of gas. As I understand this also applies to fixed tariffs. Don't make any rash decisions to come off your fix immediately without...

    Cheaper Supercharger Alternatives?

    I've used the one at Heathrow T5 recently, and that one is also 28p. I would have no reason to doubt that the Uxbridge one is priced as shown on the screen.

    U.K. Supercharger Fees

    The good news is, we have 3 trips from North Devon to the London area this month, so this will be our "go to" on the way there and back. 😂 We are retired, so don't do many regular long journeys. If it doesn't go up in the meantime, 28p is a bonus👍

    At 60p the vat element would be 10p. But your general point is correct, a fair portion is tax, as usual!

    Only 1 heated seat icon on bottom bar!

    Hi all I only have 1 heated seat (driver) showing in bottom bar. The other one is not visible to select and bring down. It was visible briefly a couple of days ago. Have done a soft reset, don't want to do a full yet if there is an easy solution. TIA

    third party model Y wheel covers

    The Ali ones look a bit curvier in the spoke. I guess the designs can't vary too much as they have to cover the spoke pattern on the Geminis. Quite like the Ali ones, and cheaper than Rimetrix!

    2022 Model 3 RWD LFP observations?

    No, not a clue! It's listed on my V5 as 208kW, which is 283bhp, and is exactly as I expected, having read loads of various forum posts before mine was delivered in March. The 8th VIN letter determines the motor type, in my case this is S, which is the newer hairpin type motor. Last years...

    Atlantic Reach Holidays is very near that point. There is a rapid and a few 7kW chargers there, so maybe Tesla have come to an agreement with the site owners!

    As a standard, day to day, charging option on road trips, most definitely YES! As a very occasional emergency option when desperate to charge probably NO! That pricing would certainly limit my general usage to zero though. The odd person using superchargers in an emergency isn't going to...
