Had a LR for 18 months now in london without home charging. Its been fine, it will depend a lot on whether you have good convenient local chargers. Theres a bunch of Source London points within 5 mins walk of my house I probably use these 2-3 times a month drop the car off walk back, pick it...

there are a number of source london points nearby where the expensive per minute charging includes parking, ive used these for that purpose ( I have membership which reduces the cost to about 29p/kwh on the 7kw ones) you can only book them within 40mins of a stay so need a backup plan, I've...

I was able to charge this morning it’s a bit of a detour from a40 especially at rush hour

The new Uxbridge SuC has just appeared as live in my Tesla app

Thats frustrating! We are (lockdown easing permitting) staying in Northumbria for a week in April and they would have proved very useful, not sure if they will be live in time.

According to a poster with photos in TOGUK Looks like the mysterious pin that appeared in Uxbridge is almost complete in the intu shopping centre car park 12 chargers but weirdly look like v2’s

So having lived with the tesla for a little longer, I've slowly been coming to accept that i actually use source london quite a lot despite the price and have therefore upgraded to full membership. I dont have home charging, and knowing that the SL chargers nearby are almost never full (and...

I’ve not been keeping detailed records but it seems like phantom drain on my M3LR is much reduced. During lockdown 1 I think I was losing about 1% every 2 days without sentry enabled. At the moment it feels like I’m losing about 1% a week, which is impressively low. Like I said I didn’t keep...

Ubitricity and source London were doing free charging in London today for clean air day, ubitricity unlimited and SL unsurprisingly with limits, I managed to get 178mins of free SL charging though

I have no home charging, live in Ealing. I usually let it run down over a few days and will then pop it on a 7KW charger round the corner (Ubitricity or source london) for a few hours when I'm working from home or not planning on using it. I will also typically supercharge for 10-15 mins if...

The first post here How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity has some interesting info (true or not who knows...) about how balancing happens slowly during deep sleep on the model 3. like all these discussions there is much hearsay and speculation and disagreement in the whole thread...

You’re quite right, shows how much I know about non supercharger charging!

The ChargePoint app is currently saying 58p/kWh for ionity, which is still a lot, but similar to instavolt I think and as someone who often has to use Source London doesn’t seem too outrageous.

Just come across this thread, the last 2 times I’ve used source London the charge has dropped from 8 to 4 kWh after about 30mins. Both were on the same unit which I’ve not used before so I chalked it up to a faulty charger. It’s doubly annoying given that they charge (A lot) by the minute! Now...

I’m in London and relying on Local superchargers and source London. Have a flexi subscription but might upgrade to full as it’s pretty expensive on flexi, however it’s worked flawlessly and the booking system works if you need it. I’ve tried to use ubitricity a couple of times but None near...

Interesting perhaps it’s related to the wipers, I clicked a single wipe several times and the lights came on every time. It’s been so dry I’ve not used them till recently. Seems odd though

I’ve not driven too much in my car since I have had it but it feels like the behaviour of the automatic lights has changed. They keep coming on for no reason, and not going off again unless I toggle them to off and back to auto. Is this my imagination or is it a bug since the last update? I...

Since my workplace charging is out at the moment I’ve signed up for flexi for the odd occasion when the parking will be useful, but mostly can’t justify the cost. Overnight is a a 10min walk each way and slightly awkward timing for me, so it will be Similarly time consuming to pop to Park Royal...

payment details seem to have reappeared in my web account, and missing sc payment has gone through

I think the issue though is that up until recently, while i didnt have access to the lease vehicle in my account (no upgrades, subscriptions etc), I did have access to configuring payment details for superchargers, this has now gone from the account.

So I supercharged on sunday, and it appears in my account history, but has not as yet appeared on my credit card statement as a pending or actual transaction, pretty sure it appeared straight away last time. So now I'm wondering if my card details have actually been removed from the account...

Anyone got anywhere with this? When I first received my lease car I was able to add payment details, and successfully supercharged and saw it turn up on my card statement. The card I used will expire shortly and I seem to have no way to change or add a new one. Supercharging is my only option...

see discussion here, looks like tesla may have a plan to offer PC to lease customers directly

I’m in the same position with Lex, I don’t think it matters too much and I can understand not being able to do upgrades as you wouldn’t normally be able to alter a lease car. The big issue I foresee is not being able to continue the premium connectivity sub after the 1 year trial, or 30 days...

Thx! Now all I need to decide is what to do with the spare 7m I bought when Tesla told me they would be sending a 2.5m cable in the post in a few weeks when back in stock

Before delivery Tesla said my car would not come with a type 2 as they were out of stock but would be shipped later. Anyway it turned up with a 7.5m blue cable, however it doesn’t seem to have a button on it to open the charge port? should It have, the booklet that came with it has a picture...

If you have your heart set on FSD there seem to be some nice discounts especially on SR+ and performance models. I guess these are the first set of demo cars from the UK launch and they are now at 6 months so want to replace them with latest stock, I guess they may also have some spare new MY20...

Delivered this morning at 9:30, looks pretty good to me, type 2 (blue) was included after all. Reg and vin were different than previously advised, not sure what the lease company will make of that.... but that will have to wait till after the bank holiday.

smmt have 2 "other" categories. In bestsellers list "other" is one type of vehicle e.g. model 3 sold 4718, but in their "by Brand" data they have "other Imports" which is mainly all tesla, + a few other niche foreign brands not in the main list. When tesla sell no cars this category is a...

I think I'd actually prefer the shorter one, I've ordered a 7m one to tide me over, I think the shorter one will end up being more useful for most of my type 2 charging ( I have no home charging) either at work in dedicated parking or at source london (if desperate) the longer one would give me...

4700 model 3's sold in march in the UK Car Registrations (see best seller - other) 9th most popular. Looks like a couple of hundred S and X's were sold as well based on by brand figures

Delivery scheduled for next Friday by transporter from Heathrow. A lease Car it was originally due Mar 23rd by AutoXP and was registered and taxed but developed a fault on the journey so was taken to Heathrow for repair. No type 2 cable apparently.

Just to be clear, they said the UMC will be included, and the type 2 will follow by post once they have them back in stock, but with the current logistical issues they are running out of ones to include with deliveries.

Can anyone who has had a recent delivery of a Model 3 that included a type 2 cable tell me what length it was, Apparently I am receiving car delivery next week, but without a type 2 cable, the lady on the call said she thought it was normally 2 or 2.5m in length but was not completely sure, I...

They(Tesla not AutoXP) rang but I missed the call and so they left a text message. Not had a chance to call back yet

Sadly neither a Tesla or a Mercedes was delivered. There was a fault requiring a service centre visit and delivery will be rearranged when fixed

Received the following this evening! Was expecting LRM3 not a merc test drive!.

I believe unlike BIK or VED, PICG is based on list price before options and fees. I could see the performance upgrade becoming an option pack on the LR AWD at some point... On the other hand I could see the gov clarifying that as it’s a bit open to abuse and not how it works elsewhere in gov.

Reduced to £350 if installed on or after April 1st Update on the infrastructure grants schemes

Does anyone know if the exemption on BiK vs Cash alternative for ZEV has continued?

I got through on second try (after the 1st one was disconnected as above) And they confirmed I'm still matched to a car on ASIAN KING, but that delivery date had not been finalised yet, and to be patient as I would get a text once the car was in Southampton and delivery had been agreed with the...

I guess it really is just me then...

For those of us who have not received a delivery text yet to feel less paranoid, unless it’s really just me. car LR on ASIAN KING, lease, Heathrow or home delivery, No delivery date

I ordered via Lex in September, and last week was offered home delivery on March 3rd. Sadly this was for my original SR+ order which I cancelled at the beginning of feb, but which was seemingly not cancelled. Still awaiting delivery of the replacement LRAWD order apparently on Asian King.

Spotted a couple of transporters with model 3’s on heading up the M40 this afternoon.

At the end of Q3 2019 there were 13.2K S and X's registered in the UK and 5.5K Model 3's. Official DfT figures for q4 are not available but the Model 3 would have at least doubled, probably nearer 12K. By the end of this quarter there will definitely be more model 3's than S and X combined.

they unload all cars in zeebrugge then ship the UK ones across to Southampton in smaller ships. Head over to the UK forums for all the details 2020 Shipping Movements

Apparently every time you refresh the webpage, they move you back 1 place in the queue. If you ring up they drop you 5 places.

While I realise glovis cosmos is old news, I passed a number of transporters loaded with TM3’s on the way north from Southampton this morning

I guess they also have longer average dwell times at the SC’s. Bigger batteries, slower charging, lower efficiency, older average age of battery so more degradation, all mean that although numbers are fewer, they will spend proportionally more time at Superchargers. And of course free...
