Photo of Supercharger work at Glasgow SC.

I just passed the Glasgow Service Centre and the area where the Superchargers are due to go is fenced off and a Digger is on site. Obviously still some way off but at least work has begun.

Larkhall is badly needed as the Dakota is chocka these days completely full when I was there earlier today. There are also 4 relatively new V4's at Bathgate which is just along the road and were empty today.

I had exactly the same collision with a Deer over a year ago and am also insured by Direct Line. In my case they decided it was a No Fault Claim since I did nothing wrong so I would definitely challenge their decision. Can't comment on the Repairer but Tesla Parts tend to have a long lead...

I live near Glasgow SC and to date there is no sign of any Supercharger work so Q3 starting to look optimistic. The car park is rammed with literally hundreds of M3 and MY by the way.

Can't comment on the Broxburn guys but Mitchell Inglis repaired the front of my M3 after a collision with a Deer and it was faultless, even I can't tell so highly recommended.

I had the water in Boot issue and the SC replaced the Boot Lid to resolve it, apparently it was a design issue on early cars mine was an August 2019 Model 3 SR+.

Had exactly the same experience trying to open a rear passenger door for one of my Wife's Pals, now off and staying off !

Mine has a Button to 'Update Charge History' or something similar, so seems to be optional. I've found the Support to be superb so maybe give them a call ?

This programme was the usual mix of half truths and worst case scenarios. Driving to Scotland but not registering for Chargeplace Scotland in advance, not using Superchargers even when available etc. Home Charging costs £20 so how come it costs me £3 ?

Mitchell Inglis know what they're doing and did an excellent job of repairing my M3 after a collision with a deer last year. You may have a wait for parts but they will do a quality job.

This is a well known recall which I had done on my 2019 SR+ under Warranty so it's worth challenging then in this.

There are quite a few Tesla Superchargers in Scotland which are generally pretty quite which should allow you to Roadtrip with relative ease.

Tyre rotation is not really a 'thing' in the UK, it may or may not have had the Cabin Filter changed and brake fluid checked, try giving them a call ?

I drove past Tesla Glasgow earlier and there were literally hundreds of Cars in the lot, very unusual for the start of a quarter, wonder what's going on ?

The Car will come with a Granny Charger and Type 2 Cable, the Car is directly compatible with CCS so no Adaptor etc. needed here. If you don't do much mileage then you may survive happily on the Granny Charger but if you do quite a lot of miles then I strongly suggest you rethink the Home Charger.

I suggested exactly that to them several months ago, still waiting.

I've got an August 19 SR+ which has been near perfect, only been in Service once in 3 and a bit years and then only for recall work. I think everyone's experience is different and based largely on expectations met or not. The main issue is how much a longer Warranty, Heat Pump and Powered Boot...

As a 3.5 year in M3 Owner I'd like to echo your comments, I absolutely love the Car and as you say on Octopus Go etc it's incredibly cheap to run. The car was recently in the Glasgow SC for some recall work and that process was seamless. I think on Forums like this there is a natural tendency...

My Car was in Glasgow SC last week for a couple of Recalls the Rep said that work on the 8 X Superchargers was due to begin in a 'couple of weeks'.

I used a Company called Smarter Utility who I believe are based in East Kilbride about £1,100 including Charger and Installation, not sure if they do Zappi's.

Really dependent on how busy local Installers are but definitely get this done in advance.

Be aware if completing this Survey it is sooo long.

Love my M3 SR+ and have had no issues with it in now nearly 3.5 years and 22,000 miles, I'm retired so small mileage. I love the simplicity of driving it, the power when needed and how cheap as chips it is to run from Home Charging. That said an improvement in Customer Service would go a long...

Correct from 01/08/2022.

USS were only removed on late 2022 cars anything prior to November 2022 should be OK.

You are correct that early cars came from Freemont USA and they now come from China, I have a Freemont car and my neighbour has a newer China car and he's convinced that the China build quality is better but having said that I've had no issues with my USA car. Tesla tend to do incremental...

Certainly very doable you just need to match your 2 or 3 Charging Stops with Coffee / Lunch Breaks. Some Tesla Superchargers at Gretna and Scotch Corner can be busy and are best avoided if possible.

It's an August 2019 Freemont car, no issues until the last week or two, I'll get it checked in for a service.

The last week I've twice found quite a lot of water in my M3 Boot, planning to check boot seals and maybe Gummi Pfledge them in the morning any other experiences / ideas welcome.

Having the control to leave it to Mrs and Sprogs was also a key decision point for me.

As someone who cashed in their Final Salary Pension 4 years ago I'm on the opposite side of this equation. Since then it initially grew well pre-covid then plunged with COVID and then slowly recovered until the more recent Market volatility. Hopefully you have already taken Independent...

Not really appropriate mate.

I used Kwik Fit in the Glasgow Suburbs they had jack pads and they seemed to know what they were doing, easiest MOT I've ever had.

There's an option under Locks something like Driver's Door Opening which you may have enabled by accident, I had done so and toggling it to Off resolves this issue.

The CPS Chargers are 'owned' by the Hosts the majority of which are Local Authorities hence you end up with a complete hotpotch of charges as they can't / won't agree on the colour of s****.

If you want a comprehensive map of all Chargers including Superchargers then I suggest you check out an App called Zap Map.

Sadly yes.

Correct but you can get higher on a Public CCS Charger typically 40-50kw and the best is Tesla Superchargers which are astonishingly fast, you literally won't have time for a coffee and toilet trip.

Still no apparent progress on the 8 Superchargers at Glasgow SC and unlikely now to make Q4 (previously Q3) target, hopefully Q1 2023 !

Plus one for Tough Leads.

Also bear in mind that they have grown enormously in a short space of time with other niche players failing which must have really stressed their Staffing and Internal Processes. Like others I have always found them honest and they have certainly shaken up the Big 6 Electricity Suppliers to...

I contacted Local SC after 2 years (now 3) to be told that there is no Service Schedule. In USA they rotate the Wheels / Tyres but that's not really a thing in the UK, I think they also recommend Air Filter replacement but again I skipped that. If it ain't broken ..... but if you want piece...

Befor I retired I had extensive exposure to Agile Methodologies and remain a total sceptic, in my experience the Quality and Testing was poor leading to lots of Live Issues and negative Customer Feedback. That was on a Banking App where logic would suggest that Quality should be King but it...

In the App hold one of the Icons and you will get access to all of them, then select the Icon of the car with 3 'waves' above it, this will rapidly defrost the car. You can move that Icon to the main list of 4 / 5 for the Winter if you plan to use it regularly.

Don't think he was specific about new Registrations only, no doubt we'll get more details in the next few days.

The Chancellor in his Autumn Statement has advised that EV's will pay Road Tax from April 2025.

Yes it was an Insurance job as it was fairly extensively damaged at the front. Tesla spares are on long lead times so if the car is still driveable I would wait until they have the parts before surrendering the car.

Just noticed that Orders for the new Roadster have opened in the UK anyone tempted ? personally I could probably afford the Car but not the Divorce !

You can do this with either the Go, Go Faster or IO Tariffs, we have Go Faster with a 21:30 - 01:30 slot and so can shift Dishwasher, Washing Machine etc. into this slot as well as charging the car.
