To hell with free supercharging miles what we really need are the price reductions being made in Germany and Australia! Tesla are taking the Mick here.... still thousands of cars at Southampton!

Their sales stocks are worrying. Just sailed into Southampton and there are 1000s of Model 3 and Model Ys parked there in a number of different car parks. They really should drop the prices here as they have in all other countries?

Its not a bug. It has featured on all 5 of my Model 3's and Model Y's. If you find it annoying switch the sound off!

Really! Does the politics of a shareholder bother you to that extent? Not much to choose between the 2 contenders in the US. Much the same as in the UK!

Judging the entries of this topic, it seems to me that Stalkless or not is the major factor causing Tesla drivers to think again when it comes to replacing their current model. Is this really an issue can we hear from drivers currently driving a stalkless Tesla?

Wow I am sorry you are having a crap experience but mine has been entirely different! If mine had been that unreliable I would have dumped it. My experience is different. I have had 3 Model 3's and 2 Model Y's. I had one product recall on the first Model 3, I used to get Tesla to change my...

Come on! More superchargers everyone cheaper than those open to other EVs No servicing my second EV needs a not inexpensive service to keep its warranty intact. Repairs at home A lot more range than 90% of the competition. A pretty reliable vehicle A fast car for those who want it Much faster...

I have used Brooklands, Gatwick and Guildford since 2019. Brooklands (now closed) was the best. In North Surrey we really need a more local Service Centre , onot that I (touch wood) have any need for a visit since I got my first Model Y 2+ years ago.

Production of European EVs is not sustainable particularly now as the losses per vehicle increase every time they try to shift their backlogs. Tesla continue to lower their costs and make good margins. Only growth in Chinese imports can boost the non Tesla market.

Doubtful...Once it reaches the tipping point petrol stations will close like Banks. The problem for ICE owners will be getting petrol anywhere at a sensible price. Can't happen too soon!

The BS about the greenhouse effect. I've been on this planet 80 years and have seen very little one way changes. Seen tremendous air improvement since the 40s and 50s where coal dominated. Coal fired every house, coal powered every train, coal produced gas in every town gas works. Thick smogs...

I am a man made climate change denier! However in the last 4 years we got rid of our ICE cars and have in fact bought /exchanged 5 Teslas and 2 Kias. We also installed 10kW solar panels and 3 Tesla Powerwalls. Reasons Savings on cars. Profits on cars. Cheap fuel. Little servicing. Faster quieter...

Don't! Even for a supercharger it just ain't worth it!

you need more than that. My export from solar is limited to 3.8 and my batteries to 7.0 so the app needs to be smarter

I have written her I have written here many times before about the main north east and northwest routes. They are inadequately served. Teesside, Sunderland and Newcastle are major areas of population. Cumbria , Scotland and Northumberland are major holiday destinations. None of these towns or...

2023 stats CONSUMED 11.8 MWh GENERATED FROM SOLAR 6.8 MWh EXPORTED 3.9 MWH Will improve in 2024 as I recently increased my storage to 3 PWs.

The answer is in your first post. If you can get rid of the car and only suffer £20k depreciation over 4 and a half years, get rid! Wherever you got that price from, it is a great price! Any other solution involves risk. The 2019 car is pretty bad compared with a more modern one. The benefit...

All after a lifetime of Jags Range Rovers, BMWs Audis and Mercedes but if you want to go electric it still must be a Teslan in 2023. I have had 3 M3's and 2 MY's. I would never go back to an M3. The boy racer thing wears off in a few weeks which is the singular advantage the M3 has. The MY is...

I tend to do a count of EVs Passing me in the opposite direction and in the S London/Surrey/Hampshire area I tend to find a minimum of cars actually on the roads are 10% EVs. This is a huge change in past 12 months. There are less the further North you go but thee are also less Mercs/BMW etc in...

Really! This is not what this post is about? MYOB I say.....

It is if you are lucky to reach someone who knows it exists. I had been struggling ..wrote to the big man yesterday and it was sorted today.

I have found that you could get your own credits by disposing of your vehicle prior to the new car as for a short period you cease to be with Tesla.

My MYs have both been very much quieter than the M3s. The seats sit much higher giving a much more comfortable driving position. The hatchback makes the real difference to the boot, the opening size in the M3 makes it inadequate for family trips. No good for taking old furniture, or large...

I am having some difficulty moving from Flux to IO + Outgoing Fixed 15p. Cannot seem to get anyone in the smart team. I spoke with someone this morning who did not accept that you could get a 15p export tariff if you are on IO! I can find no-one to do me a short cut from Flux without going...

My problem is I am unable to find anyone in octopus to do me a swift change as I am moving from Flux.. Eventually had to do a manual application this morning - God knows how long that may take. 2 of the guys I spoke to said ''it was impossible to have 15p Outgoing fixed with IO as it would...

I have never read posts so full of rubbish as this one mostly from posters that may have test driven a Y but have not owned both. There is a good reason why the Model Y is the best selling car....because it is a real car! I have owned 3 model 3s and 2 Model Ys. There is no comparison between...

How did you manage the change? As I am on Flux Import /Export, I was informed I must change to Outgoing first and then to O!. When I try to do that a form comes up asking me to verify with an MCS cert etc. They already have this as I was on TEP and then Flux export. Is there someone who can do...

There has been a lot of comparisons between PW and Give Energy. I have had 1 PW for 3 years and added a second one a couple of months ago. Throughout September I have been running off Grid for all but an hour about 6pm when I discharge 25% to benefit from the good export rate. On all but 3 days...

Just been testing the market with my 12 month old Model Y LR, 3300 miles like new WBAC £34600, M/Way no price, Tesla trade in £33000 and my 2022 Kia Soul Maxx 9000 miles 14months old new £35000 WBAC £19000, Mway £18400. These are pretty competitive with similar ICE cars. Looks like Tesla and Kia...

Im on my 5th Tesla and my second Kia. I have never charged the Tesla at any charger outside home and Tesla Superchargers, nor have I needed to. I have never charged the Kias anywhere but home and never intend to.

I can confirm that they will fit the current Model 3. I am pretty sure there are no cracks and certainly no repairs, there is some kerbing on the wheels, will send photos tomorrow.

I have a set of 4 18" Tesla wheels with winter tyres The tyres are PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO3 235/45 R18 98V. I bought them directly from Tesla in October 2019 for Approx. £2000 but because of the pandemic and me subsequently changing my car, they have done less than 2000 miles. Never used in...

Got my second PW 2 last weekend. That has ensured that the sun has hardly shined this week! Will run for a couple of weeks on my existing TEP whilst I work out if Flux will be better.

This made me start thinking. I have one Powerwall 2 and have been keen to buy a second or third to take me longer off grid. Getting one at a sensible price is impossible....I may have died before it was actually delivered, lol. So I am thinking of getting rid of the Powerwall and installing a...

This is for cars like my Kia which charge somewhat slower on a Tesla Supercharger.

On recent trips I have tended to run the battery down to 5-6% to get home with no public charging. I have found however that either the Tesla of my Zappi are not happy and do not complete the handshake? Dont know whether this is a problem with the car or the charger? But my Kia never rejects the...

Its the same with Broadband! Should just specify the voltage 7,50,150 etc

Designed by journalist /presenters who make negative programmes about EVs!

If you change your mind would be happy to take the PW off your installer (or let him install at mine)

I had a claim with Churchill who deducted my XS from the repair bill because they said it was knock for knock even though the other driver had admitted liability.. My insurance came up for renewal at the same time and the quote was vastly increased even though I had NCD cover. I made them...

Can report that the wiper/autopilot bug is still there! The fix is not a Tesla priority apparently. This is the fix, the one and only fix! Everytime you start a journey put the wipers onto STOP mode! Never try to put the car into Autopilot or it will put the wipers into action. It is caused by...

I have had a number of Model3s and Model Ys since 2019. I made money on all of them and hence suffered no depreciation up to September 2022 when I bought my last Model Y. as late as last November I could have sold the car to Motorway for £60k, another profit of £6k. Then the crash came and all...

The upgrade last night appears to have cured the dry wipes when using autopilot. I hope?

Tesla rang me today regarding the wiper bug. This is the fix, the one and only fix! Everytime you start a journey put the wipers onto STOP mode! Never try to put the car into Autopilot or it will put the wipers into action. It is caused by using the Tesla Vision system but cannot be cured by...

Today. Definitely my next EV will not be a Tesla. I have had 5 now, 3 Model 3s and 2 Model Ys. I today got a Tesla call with the solution for the latest bug. My windscreen wipers apparently must be on Auto if I use any part of the Autopilot system. However since the last sw update, my wipers...

So the windscreen wiper thing is a software update? I did a 100 mile trip in beautiful sunny weather this morning. After about 10 miles my wipers came on. Opened the wiper scree saw the wipers were set to auto so I tried to switch to OFF. Wouldnt stick there. Repeated the operation several times...

Must be designed by a Tesla designer?

It will definitely be more than 10% in UK and Europe. It matters little removing the gear stick but it should be replaced with something physical. The biggest loss on that stick is the engagement of autopilot. Losing the indicator stalk is even more stupid than the current situation with wipers...

FSD I would ban. However IMHO autopilot which is really just auto cruise control works well - no phantom braking anymore. I agree that it fails to pull away soon enough when traffic moves. Sign recognition is much better. The only bit I would get rid of is lane control - I don't believe it is...
