Now sold! Thanks a lot.

I have ourTelsa M3 Car Cover for sale as we moved to an MY. It was barely used to be honest, probably on the car for a maximum of 5 days total, and is in it's bag and in pristine condition. We're just off the M40 in Oxfordshire, looking for £150 - hoping to go to a good home from the forum...

I finally found the source of my rear seat squeak - not the headrest, nor the bar inside - much more simple. The centre section pulls down to allow long objects to pass through the middle - folding this down removed the squeak. So I sprayed a little silicone in the catch on the left hand side...

For those interested - having now run the storage heater in our conservatory for 30 days - at a toasty 19 degrees during the week, and 21 at the weekend - the results are in. More than happy with an average of 58p pence per day on our Intelligent Octopus tariff. We'll see how we go in the...

This discussion makes me wonder how many of us traded our Discoveries for Model Y's. We went from a Model 3 + Discovery to Fiat 500e and Model Y.........I agree, there is an element of practical classic present in the MY that was also in the Disco. I'm not sure anything else on the market would...

Better than what is there, and I suspect the best on offer :-) Thanks! I've never seen a cheaper piece of plastic, no idea what they were thinking! :-)

Has anyone found a replacement part or decent cover for the vent under the front seats? It appears to have been made by Blue Peter out of the bottom of a plastic food container, and stretching feet under I suspect is likely to kill it off......!

The back seatbelts do rattle if the seat is in the 'upright' position. They slip off the seat, round the corner and lodge themselves edgeways. It's simple to straighten them up and rest the 'loop' of seatbelt fabric against the plastic, but trying to remember to check before a journey is tough -...

Still loving my new Y - but looks like some of the newer builds have carpeted C pillars to remove the seatbelt buckle rattle when the rear seats are not reclined. Wondering if any of the UK deliveries have this? In the meantime some black felt tape helps...

Don't forget, if you decide to heat up the car in the morning, then it will use the mains electric not the battery - unless you unplug first. Maybe there's a way to turn this off, but I haven't yet found it. You're effectively running fan heaters and electrical elements from the peak rate if you...

This looks good to me... LAP Digital Immersion Timer

I'm thinking we need to add in colour and wheel variations to make it even rarer :)

LOL - I hadn't even noticed. Brilliant. Not sure what the odds are of that happening. Good eyes there :-)

First drive back from Birmingham.......60 miles on the clock. Observations vs our Model 3 SR+ (repeating some others of course!) Pickup experience was smooth and uneventful - show license, sign ipad, app comes alive, walk to the row with the car in, inspect, drive away. (140 miles of charge...

We're only 11 days in but here's the cost for keeping our conservatory (glass roof) at 19 degrees for the last week - that's an average of 51p that we're more than happy with..... I realise this isn't portable or meets your brief - but for anyone else interested in one! Date KW Cost...

Just checked on my Miele app - and the last 40 degree wash used 49l of water (Wife put it on heavy soiling and water plus) but only 0.5kWh of energy.... impressed by that. Not sure about the Siemens condenser drier. No App for that one.

One more sleep to go.... Tesla advice from their delivery day page is to get a taxi from Birmingham Intl rail station rather than try and walk through the concourse when an event is on. Frankly not inclined to do so, and happy to walk, but wondered if anyone has had experience of a collection...

May depend on the dryer - worth a look on condensing dryers vs newer washing machines. I don't know the answer (yet) need to do a 'lone' cycle in the night :-)

Interested in the air fryer plan - heard that this could make a big difference rather than the oven, but need to investigate further....

We have a similar sized house with a hot tub - we were running at around 170W per hour in May when we went on holiday. About 4kW per day....I know I'm taking a hit for the hot tub and the giant fridge freezer. Back in May when we went on holiday, that was around 50p for the day. That's an...

We have a Samsung, and seems to be around the same kind of draw per day.......thanks for the extra tips - I dream of 80% in the off-peak.....

We bought the Dimplex Quantum QM100 - conservatory is 3m by 3m, and so far so good.... not cheap but simple enough to fit to a fused spur and there's a 'hidden' menu feature to tell it when the off-peak electricity is there...... Dimplex Quantum QM100 | Quantum Storage Heater 1000W | No Wifi

I tried the underfloor heating in our bathrooms, found the thermal efficiency was good enough to take off the morning chill, but not sufficient to warrant conservatory installation. Went with a new storage heater which is so far proving to be wonderful. I guess with the powerwall you can just...

Opening a thread for discussing additional uses for off-peak electricity..... In the last few months I've been tracking our electricity use by each 30 minute increment (yes my family love me for it) and then working on reducing our electricity bill by shunting more and more of our usage into...

Anyone collecting their car today? Was my original collection date, and wondering if everyone was bumped.....seven more sleeps for me yet

Anyone still have a 20th Collection slot....?

Thank you. My delivery date was actually on the Tuesday, but it's starting to make sense if the cars are literally delivered the day before collection. Those with collections on the Monday have perhaps been 'split' with delivery dates moved to Saturday (have seen evidence of that), and some...

This is a stretch for the Shipping movements thread, but in the absence of a Road Movement thread, does anyone have expertise or understanding of the logistics between port and collection points. Many of us are getting our deliveries bumped by a week due to the Queen passing - a day or two I...

I actually did ask that, and she went and checked with the team. Answer was a very apologetic no....

They tried to help but as normal have no info. Just that the Queens passing has broken the logistics by a week - which makes no sense. So now collecting 7 days later... :-(

Same story - I'm calling Tesla - given Monday seems to be rescheduled to Saturday, I'm not sure why there's a whole week of delay been imposed. Makes no sense.

8th April - it's been a long time coming......!!

My VIN just appeared on my reservation, no need to keep checking the code any more! - Six sleeps to go.....

For anyone lucky enough to be exchanging one Tesla for another, the 'Premium Connectivity' is attached to the car, not the driver (makes sense) - so you need to cancel one, and then subscribe to another....

If it helps, just searching in the source code for 'LRW' will show any Shanghai made VIN's

Thought I would follow up on this - I spoke with LV this morning, we have 3 cars on the policy - and the quote I now have the for the MY is £500, which I'm more than happy about. We also have an electric Fiat 500 on there and a older car for one of the kids..... don't know how the discount...

Thank you :-)

I'm moving from an M3 to an MY - wondering if anyone knows whether 'premium connectivity' follows the driver or the car? I'll ping Tesla and ask too. Also - any experience with moving cars on TeslaFi - I'm not ready to give that up, it's a constant source of geeky pleasure for me....

Quick question regarding insurance - our MY arrives in 18 days and 22 hours (who's counting!) - and just started to look at insurance. Our M3 LR+ cost us 350 per year with LV, seems that the best quote I can find for the MY is double that (with Admiral).....anyone else having the same experience?

https://www.webcamtaxi.com/en/england/hampshire/netley-cam-southampton-water.html In about 45 minutes - Companion will pass by....

Looking at Challenge and Sunrise being less than 48 hours apart through Suez, I wonder (given Mr M's comments earlier regarding Barcelona to Southampton) if we could see two Tesla carriers at Southampton at the same time. Is this possible? Can it happen?

When we collected our M3 three years ago, it was like a magic 'reveal' - you did your initiation session with a bunch of other people, and then all of a sudden the app showed the car and controls....... I suspect this time there'll be a bloke in a donkey jacket and a hat watching over the cars...

So VIN in source on Monday, Trade In mileage request Tuesday, Confirm Delivery Date Wednesday and then today a text confirming my License Plate (BK72 XXX) and VIN. Things are moving at pace this Quarter!

I've worked in the last few months to halve our electricity bill - and bumping all our appliances to overnight was one of the biggest ways. We're lucky to have timers on the washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.....also found unplugging the M3 during hot days meant that cabin overheat...

The rates are slightly different - I use the Octopus Compare app to check, and it's consistently cheaper for us to use 'Intelligent' - The main difference is that Octopus control the charging hours for the car, rather than the car itself. I was apprehensive, but it's worked really well for us...

We're with LV, and they were by far the cheapest for us.....have been for 3 years

We were on Go - now on intelligent octopus once our rate ran out last month. You might want to consider it - extra 2 hours of off-peak charging time, and about 10% of the time there's some extra off-peak thrown in for good measure. They connect to the Tesla and work out what's best for them to...

20th September! :-)

I'm equally convinced mine is on Challenge - more wiggle room on the early part of the date range :-)

Me too - just a few minutes ago....
