I have had the Model Y a week now and done a bit over 400 miles in it. I think overall I like it but there are a few things I wasn't that impressed with - Paint work was a bit of a mess, looked like it had been washed at a public jet wash with a dirty brush. There is also a mark under the...

I loved my Model 3 when I had it, I'm not sure I would say they are 'years ahead' but like most car makers there are somethings they do very well and other things that need work. I had a Mercedes EQC following the accident I had in Jan this year and I'll share some thoughts about that too. Some...

Friday cant come quick enough

Trying to decide what pet liner to go in the boot, I was gonna get the Tesla rubber floor mat but now thinking I want something to cover the bumper so the dog doesn't scratch it getting in and out. Ive already ordered locking wheel nuts and a key fob (for occasional use)

Anyone else now looking at every accessory going? I feel like its going to be a very slow 3 weeks.

I'll take the black one off the top row please :)

I had a text late yesterday to confirm the delivery date of the 9th Dec so hopefully yours is coming.

Hopefully you will get one any day now, I was wondering if it was going to change from what Tesla chat told me the other day. I see you have the same spec and you ordered just a couple of weeks after me 👍

Yes its home delivery, on one of the early chats a did with Tesla a few weeks back I asked if I would be collecting from Bristol and they said yes but on the last chat I have with them last week they said it will be home delivery on 9th between 7am-8am, I asked if collecting would make it any...

OMG ITS HAPPENING...stay calm....I have a text to confirm delivery on the 9th Dec 😁

I was doing that every day for a week, after the last chat where they game me the date i thought I'd give them a few days off :)

haha yeah i asked if I could collect it earlier and was told no, so if the delivery is that early in the morning I may as well have it delivered, saves me getting up to Bristol.

Interesting, my delivery date is a couple of days after yours but no text yet, fingers crossed I get one soon.

Im in the same position, Ive been told delivery to my house will be between 7am-8am on 9th Dec and Ive been matched to a car but they dont have the VIN to give me and just said ill get a text to confirm the delivery and reg closer to the time.

Maybe they have had enough of all of us asking for daily updates on our orders 😂

Just had a chat with Tesla and apparently my car will be delivered on 9th December, they couldnt tell me the VIN or reg though and said ill get it in a text.

Im a June order and still waiting, according the Tesla chat the other day I have been assigned a car and its due to arrive early December but no text message yet 😞 I think Tesla are taking the P a bit with showing inventory of Model Y's that are the exact spec some people are waiting for. There...

I had another chat with Tesla last night and it went slightly differently to the others, they said I am matched to a car that is arriving early December. The lease company have got back to me, they have checked everything on their system and are happy so they are going to call Tesla today to...

The leased company only seem to provide an update once a month, when I called the lease company yesterday she said my date was now Jan even though Tesla told me about 20 mins before that it was still December. Once Tesla match you I think thats normally it unless they find an issue with the car.

I ordered the same spec at the same time as you. The updates I've been getting have been for December delivery and with the next lot due soon I did a chat with Tesla to see if I had been allocated a car yet. Tesla said Im down for December delivery but my account was showing as pending, this...

I think the lease company have just ******* me over on my order. Chat with Tesla today said account is still pending and not complete because they are waiting on some final details to be confirmed which will delay me getting a EDD and being assigned a car although its still December at the...

Just had a chat with Tesla, still December EDD but this time they mentioned by account was showing as pending not complete so I need to give the lease company a poke tomorrow to make sure everything is in order.

My date has moved to 15/12 :(

I had an update the other day, my EDD is now 1/12/22. 🤞

Good to know, My order went through a few days before yours, the delivery date has gone from early Nov to end of Nov to 12/12/22 so fingers crossed its going back to Nov. After seeing May orders getting delivered recently I was hoping it might even be in Oct.

I'm finally placing an order, just wondering if anyone has taken out a business contract hire directly with Tesla? The figures only show what it would be with 6 month initial payment but I'm only looking to do 1 month initial. I have emailed the Tesla rep that we met at the store for the test...

Good point, thanks Roy. I have spoken to the claim handler this morning and sent him proof of the mileage which he is sending back to the engineers. I did double check their original email and it definitely says 34000 miles not kilometres.

Starting to hit my head against a wall with this and seeing why insurance costs so much and its because full of incompetent muppets that work for them. The insurance handler (Davies Group) still haven't called me, I got CC'd in on a reply from LeasePlan to the insurance handler that had emailed...

Did they just send it or did you have to call them? if so what number did you call? I have the same issue. For anyone that has already been, what do you need to do when you get there? just hand over your driving license or is there a form to complete? I have a test drive in Exeter next week :)

Yeah that’s what the guy from the car hire company said and what I expected tbh. They don’t seem to be in a rush to get anything done though, my car is still at the recovery yard and it’s taken them a month to decide it’s a write off. Let’s see if they call this week but I’m not chasing...

I was speaking to the car hire company on Wednesday about possibly swapping the EQC for something else and they asked if I had heard anything about my car, which I said I hadnt. He gave the claim handler a ring and they told him my car is a write off and they are scheduled to call me on the 4th...

I've been having a look around at leasing deals lately for the Model Y, a lot are around the same price. I think fleetprices.co.uk is the cheapest I have seen it at £545 p/m 9months down and 10K miles, I remember some in the Model 3 leasing thread getting a good deal with OctopusEV but you will...

Nothing yet, car is still at the recovery yard. Was speaking to the car hire company about swapping the EQC for something else because the range is going to become an issue soon with some longer trips. He was saying that parts supply are a big issue at the moment, some people have been in...

I'm thinking of starting a car rental company that does accident management. More than 2 weeks now and my car is still at the recovery yard. I thought about chasing them but I'm interested to see how long it takes them to do anything. I have found Carplay in the Mercedes...under the shop menu

My Octopus Go tariff expires tomorrow (18th Jan) but I had an email this morning saying it runs out on the 3rd March and had some pricing that others have mentioned which will basically double my electric bill for the year. I have had an email tonight to say - We've been working on making...

Couple of other things I forgot - most of the time it runs on just the front motor so you get a bit of wheel spin coming out of junctions sometimes and the brake pedal is crap, with the Tesla there isnt really any different feel when going from regan to actual brakes but in the Merc you...

Glad you're alright, I must admit I haven't heard about the 12v issue before this but I had similar issues after the accident last week (Lorry smash | Tesla Motors Club). Just after the crash we wanted to move the car out of the road, it was 7:45am Tuesday morning on the main A38 so we were...

Thanks guys, had a bit of an aching neck Wednesday morning but that as cleared up, went to the doctors for a check up to be on the safe side. The EQC arrived 8:30 Wednesday morning, its alright but I miss my Tesla already. I wouldn't say it feels like a £69k car, Ive been given the AMG Line...

Hi all, Had a great start to the new year today, driving back from dropping the other half off at work this morning, was sat in stationary in a long queue of traffic up to a set of lights and lorry rear end me and pushed me in to the back of the van in front of me which had a tow bar that made...

Agreed, it does look much better :) Im surprised this still isnt standard from the factory like it does for the Model Y, plenty of owners have it done just like the Chrome delete on earlier models.

Cabin overheat protection is all i can think of but with the weather lately i wouldn't of thought it would come on. Have you rebooted the car to see if that helps? I normally do it after an update, mine seems to have issues with going sleep and taking a while to wake otherwise.

Managed to find a local garage in Wellington - Okee. They have said they can do it so its booked in for next week :) £59.50+vat. Appears to be a decent garage with good reviews.

My missus doesnt have a license, so gets no say in it 😂 not that I am good at sharing...she can get her own car 😁

I ordered my smart meter from Octopus in August 2019 but was told they wernt doing smart meters in my area for another 1 to 2 months so i couldnt switch to the Go tariff, I chased a few times over the next fews months and by 10th Dec I finally emailed Greg Jackson (CEO of Octopus), 2 days later...

Thanks Jeeves, I normally always have it checked after getting a new tyres, just surprised how bad it was for a new car but after a look through the forum seems quite common, some are even having it checked straight after collecting their new car. I have tried a couple of local garages but...

My insurance for the M3 LR was £525 last year, most places this year were quoting around £600+ but I was quite surprised when the renewal quote I had through was £498 form churchill.

The car has just ticked over 19k miles, I've just had a call from Tesla about the appointment and queried whether this was covered under warranty and they were having none of it, saying this is normal on any car that the alignment can be knocked out. I was pointing out that both front tyres...

I just had all 4 changed on mine yesterday, first new set for 2019 AWD LR, the wear on the rear seemed fine although they were just below the limit and the middle had worn slightly more. The fronts on the other hand from the outside looked ok, they were fairly close to the limit which is why I...

Who is your broker / funder? I just went through the same crap a couple of months ago with my broker- Drive Electric, they said LeasePlan refused the extension because i had less than 6 months left on my lease. They told me to keep the car at the end of the lease and it will continue on a...

Hi all, Just thought I would pop in an update as my 2 year lease is up next month and its been a bit of an interesting process for the next steps and may help someone else. I originally had a text from Lease Plan (The funder, Drive Electric are the broker) on the 1st April telling me that the...
