    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    I've had my first quote back, but I don't have any perspective how good a quote it is. Opinions on the following? 19x 390W Trina Solar = 7.41kW 1x Powerwall 2 £19300

    Tesla offers 1 year free supercharging if you buy before Dec 31st 2020

    I think they could make a lot of extra cash if they did a Christmas special offer on FSD, I'd buy if it was 50% off.

    Two little stories

    Had a neighbour who I had never met come and knock at my door to congratulate on my car. Unfortunately I was at work so couldn't show him around. When parked in my local mall multi-story, a kid of about 7 triple-taked, asked his mother if he could have a look and then came up to my passenger...

    Model 3 hazard light switch

    No, I was on the off ramp from a motorway, the lights had started to change, so I braked to stop at the lights. No AP involved and no other cars around (well there was behind me)

    Model 3 hazard light switch

    Oh I see, maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly, but I had to put it back into drive to continue though

    Model 3 hazard light switch

    Yes I can confirm, was quite a shock. I was expecting it to connect to Tesla Breakdown and instead had "Emergency, which service?" I thought something had gone wrong with the car, was thinking of reporting this as a service item. How do I switch this off?

    Multiple system failure / Wiring Harness Recall

    Okay an update with my car. I took it to West Drayton Service Centre because I *thought* I had an appointment (turns out I hadn't, my appointment had moved to April without my knowledge) but they took it in. Today I got a text saying that they are replacing the steering rack which will arrive...

    Multiple system failure / Wiring Harness Recall

    Most of the time multiple warnings, it fluctuates quite a lot. Regarding the cowl, no visible gaps but there is water getting through (seems like it is only slightly misaligned. Cant pop it back in though)

    Multiple system failure / Wiring Harness Recall

    So my power steering is now disabled when I start driving, but will switch on unexpectedly about 5-10 minutes into the drive, and then is incredibly light. Feels really dangerous. Got to wait another week before its fixed (nearly a month broken).

    Multiple system failure / Wiring Harness Recall

    I'm 439xxx August delivery also. I scheduled a service 16th February, they assigned a Mobile Service and havent yet assessed the case. I have rung twice and they will not change to SC, they say wait for the case to be assessed. In the meantime, my power steering now has failed. Try as I might...

    Road Side Emergency Cover/ Assistance/ Relay/ Home start

    Yes they contract out, or at least they did in my case. It took 4 hours from blow-out to pickup, so I will definitely now be getting breakdown cover. Also the SOS button by the hazard light button rings out to 999 and not to Tesla SOS which I didn't realise!

    New Model 3 owners - Road Tax advice

    I rang the Road Tax office (DVLA?) and they verified that my M3 had already been registered with them. Tesla *should* do this at handover but best to check.

    West Drayton Supercharger/M3 deliveries

    I picked up my M3 today from West Drayton, the superchargers are working but there was a queue. The SC that I used had CCS charger, I'm guessing they all do now. Interestingly it was charging at about 100m/hour does that sound right? Ben

    Changing Delivery Location

    I have the problem shared with many that my delivery date range falls into my summer vacation. I have been looking to change my delivery location from my local service centre (Heathrow) to one close to my holiday location (Edinburgh). As the Triumph Ace is about to dock, I rang Tesla to try and...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    My mistake, I didn't keep up with the news. I thought the Tysla ship was unloading M3s today, but it turned out to be non-Tesla bearing ship. So I guess we are presuming these VINs are the cars being loaded at SFO onto Triumph Ace? Estimated final delivery mid August?
