    Thoughts on the Model Y so far

    I know it will not be hitting these shores for some time, but what are people thinking of the Model Y so far. I think it looks great, a lot better than I thought it would. I still prefer the sleek look of the model 3 but for an SUV it is a very good effort, and for those needing the extra space...

    Rodent damage

    I’m now picturing a gang of rats ‘come on boys, let’s go shower and then rave!!!’ ‘Get some of those tasty wires too, he has just had new ones fitted’ I like the look of the walk the plank trap, worth trying?

    Plug-in car Grant now £3000 (was £3500) for cars under £50k

    £56,490 after destination & doc fee, and you still don't get frunk hooks included, LOL, they are extra!!!!!!! For that amount they should throw in FSD and performance boost

    March Budget 2020

    Nothing mentions regarding any tax breaks on EV's or the current grant changing, just that there are plans for more charges across the UK. Unless I missed something.

    Underwhelmed....

    I used to do it for Ford, back in the day when they did truly great cars, every now and again I would be sent on a train to pick up a cosworth, but most of the time it would be to pick up a big std focus or fiesta a probe (lol, remember them?), it was a pretty cool job at the time, cash in hand...

    Underwhelmed....

    So if Tesla deliver the car to you, are you able to see how it was driven on that journey? I used to deliver new cars when I was a teenager, let’s just say I may have slightly gone over the speed limit once or twice

    UK Budget 11 March 2020 - VAT Change?

    I’m surprised they haven’t introduced a scrappage scheme like they did in 2010, 2 wins, gets old cars off the road to the crushers and gets people into electric. I still wake up at nights in a hot sweat of the thought of my Mitsubishi FTO being crushed in 2010, I’m sorry but my wife made me do...

    Already thinking of swapping to a Model Y?

    Just wondering how many model 3 owners are already thinking of a possible swap over to a model Y, when the Y hits the UK market we will all of a sudden see lots of model 3's in the 'Used' section on the Tesla website?

    Acceleration Boost £1.5k

    Should you have to inform your insurance company, let’s say you were in an accident and they had the knowledge to know to look for this boost, and you failed to inform them, guess you would be screwed.

    Premium Connectivity SR+

    What a complete tool!!!! How many times did you picture yourself hitting him? BTW, do your rear heated seats work? I heard some with SR+ did, but for others they didn't.

    Should we chill on long journeys?

    Can the frunk be programmed to open and close really fast?

    I just spotted a retired Herbie behind, surprised he didn't spring into action on that waste of space.

    Bad news and a bit of good news

    Had a claim recently on my car insurance, next doors ridge tiles came off in bad weather, damaged the whole side of my car as they fell to the ground, as all the tiles ended up on my driveway and car, As he kept his house in good repair he couldn't be held at fault, nor could his home insurance...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    Are you 100% sure it will affect your pension contributions? That really is a great cost per month :) Are you sure you will get a hit on your pension contributions or are you talking about the fact that you will make less additional contributions to your pension fund? I used to pay for...

    Salary Sacrifice

    That is exactly what I do currently and have done for a few years now, contribute through salary sacrifice to my pension top up scheme so I fall below 50k, I am willing to drop my contributions to this and have some go to fund a model 3 instead, just need HR on board. Must say my pension fund...

    Salary Sacrifice

    I am trying my best to convince my HR department to look into this and do such a scheme, feel I am fighting a losing battle though :( Really frustrating, especially as Tusker are on the same business park as my HR department, just a couple of doors down o_O

    VW ID.3 Preview event in London on 25th January, fancy going?

    SEAT elBorn looks good, front is a little Tesla/Ford Focus ish The more I see the Id.3 the more I dislike the styling, I think it is a bit lazy, very much golf with beetle sort of nose which I really don't like, the interior styling looks like it has been done for a 5 year old to play with...

    Tesla Model 3, another charger recommendations

    Thanks So the sparky would replace the 32A with a 16A and then the commando would be on the other end in the garage? Would that mean, no more power or lights as the commando would replace that ability? could a mini consumer unit be fitted on the end of the 32A in the garage that then would...

    Tesla Model 3, another charger recommendations

    Hi Jeremy, you seem to know all about this, I am hoping to get a Model 3 soon, now I do not plan on staying at the house for too long so don't really want to go through the hassle of getting a dedicated charger fitted on the outside of the house, plus it may look a bit ugly and put buyers off if...

    Price of Model 3 in Japan?

    Anybody got any idea what they are priced in Japan? Reason I ask is that many many years ago I bought a Japanese import Mitsubishi FTO (brilliant little car, 200BHP from 2.0 litre 24v V6 engine with a very clever Automatic gearbox), as japan are RHD too, only thing that needed adding was a fog...

    Charging at a non Supercharger site, which type is best?

    hopefully the £10 penalty charge after 90 mins stops people 'hogging' the charger for too long :)

    Charging at a non Supercharger site, which type is best?

    I just took a look at the charger online (https://polar-network.com/charge-point-information/24042/) and looks like somebody using it now as it states; DC Combo Type 2 - Charging CHAdeMo - Unavailable Type 2 - Unavailable So although there are two parking bays at the unit, the unit itself can...

    Charging at a non Supercharger site, which type is best?

    thanks for all the info guys, yes, I'll prob keep it to < 90%, unless doing a Wirral > Watford run, but even then I would probably have to stop off for a boost on the way there so may be no point going 100% at all.

    Charging at a non Supercharger site, which type is best?

    Hoping to get my Model 3 SR+ from EVEZY at some point, it includes free Polar charging and Supercharging, although there is Supercharger not far from work, near home I have a Polar station at a local hotel, popped in and spoke to the guy there who said I am free to use as much as I like, as long...

    Model S + Washing machine?

    Silly question time, but why not get it delivered by Currys? Whenever I have bought a new one, I get them to take away the old one, fit the new one, take away all the packaging, all for pennies.

    EVEZY, anybody using them?

    MASSIVE PRICE HIKE!!!!!! Have you seen that the prices have gone up now on the website, form £599 > £799 per month for SR+ and from £799 > £999 for LR and P. I think those on the waiting list are safe with the old prices frozen

    I notice this now on their website; If you are subscribed to a Tesla, using the Tesla supercharging stations is also included in your subscription. You can charge at any of these for free. When you go to a Tesla supercharger and plug in your car, the station will recognise your car and activate...

    Insurance UK

    Quotes are often much more if Insurance is needed in just a few days time. if you sorted this 3 weeks ago you would get a much better deal, the sweet spot is meant to be 21 days prior to needing the insurance.

    Cybertruck unveil (CYBRTRK)

    I was just thinking, if I ran a police force I would be interested, imagine chasing some teenager who has just nicked a VW golf, closing in on him in one of these in no time at all and just ramming him off the road, either that or he is laughing so hard he pulls over before he wets himself.
