    UK Insurers who allow wrapping...who do you use?

    You mention wrapping (im guessing a full wrap) but what about window tints? or a de-chrome? I guess if something happened you could get the hair dryer out and remove it - obviously full wrap would be much more difficult :)

    BIK rate on 2nd hand car

    Cheers Luke. That's how I interpreted it (just needed someone to double check my sanity) it's a 4 year old barely used i3 and its being offered at a very reasonable rate. Even 2% of its P11D it still makes it next to nothing under company ownership and ideal for the little town runs we're...

    BIK rate on 2nd hand car

    I have an option to buy a second hand BMW i3 which I thought would be great as another car for the company however does anyone know how the BIK/CCT works on a second hand car? The car is on a 14 plate so rather old and not sure it falls into the 0/1% BIK rate? Can't really find anything on a...

    UK Insurnace Business/personal mix

    We've had a mini-fleet policy via aviva for a number of years and have generally been great however when i took delivery of my M3 they started to impose some rather silly policies on this. As a background the policy allowed for anyone over 25 to be fully comp. insured on any car owned by company...

    What's Tesla beef with travelling North?

    I normally drive north on the A1M then south on the M1.. Herts > Newcastle Did the M1 North trip at Xmas and had to have a few mile detour to go back south to charge then again to go north, yeah its a pain but very much a first world problem :)

    Door pillar cameras not included in sentry mode?

    Have an issue in our building with someone daily parking their car where they shouldn't (they obviously don't work for our company) so I thought, I'll park the m3 next to it to catch them on camera when they return to the car... Anyway, first time I checked the disk with the sentry data and...

    Camera(s) blocked or blinded

    I've got the same, didn't know if its just the shitty weather at the moment or something more 'internal' are you able to see the view from the camera from the console to see what its visibility is like?

    Company fleet insurance

    Had similar issues with Aviva, M3P now only drivers over 30, enable pin to drive, Sentry mode on at all times (don't see the point if its nicked, they'd have the bloody flash drive?!) have to name them all too and current 'convictions'.. stupidly high excess... will be moving the policy come...

    Model 3 battery range

    I was at 90% charge in my M3P and did South Mimms > Newcastle via the A1M - had to supercharge at Grantham AND Scotch Corner. I thought I would have made it to scotch corner however as the first journey I was enjoying the car a little too much I think (was 2am so roads were empty). The return...

    2019.40.2.2 in the UK on AP1

    I find it rather annoying it not detecting my hands on the wheel when they are. I find myself almost having to fight it now and again to remind the car I'm still here. Just checked and i'm not on that version yet and have a 300 mile drive tomorrow. Hope it doesn't upgrade overnight! Another...

    Insurance for M3P? Best company?

    I have a policy via Aviva which is for any car owned by me to insure the driver(s) fully comp, this did have the stipulation that they were over 25 however when trying to add the m3p they updated this to over 30s only and now i have to name whoever uses it. Pain in the arse and will be going...

    Picked mine up yesterday from Heathrow, staff were great. Enjoyable first day in it - jeebus its quick off the mark! Now it's got me thinking about changing my X5 for a ModelX - once/if they update the centre console so its more like the 3! Hope you guys get yours soon, they handed over about...

    TBH i'm not surprised they are prioritising higher profit margin cars, it is a company that is under a huge amount of pressure to show it can actually work as a company and not just burn through cash. Feel your pain but time will come, i imagine these waits are going to get crazy come April...

    Well depends, if a company leases the car you have 0%/1%/2% BIK from April 2020. If the company buys the car then they also get 100% capital allowance. So if the car was 50k and your profits were 50k it basically wipes that out, so you don't pay corp. tax on that amount. 100% Tax Relief on...

    I got a vin when jasper was in JAM or the other was in Mexico - around that time anyway. There was also one at the docks in SFO however and going by this thread and VIN allocations could be anywhere from when the ship arrives at SFO or his the canal.. As its a company car i'm a little less...

    Running one of those ships sailing cost probably 10k USD a day admin then if sailing an extra 20k in fuel - they CHEW fuel (Maersk Employee), now I'm not sure why the jasper was turned round then parked at JAM, surely should have just sailed to ZEE then parked there if there was a back log...

    Cant be unloading - it's on anchor like the Jasper. Obviously both have been told to hold for some unknown reason. Jasper was supposed to be hitting our waters tomorrow - although to be honest I'd prefer to be in Jamaica than the UK. They are seamen too.. Rum..maybe too temping.. oooh arr..

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    My guess is if they have noticed something major is wrong then $$ wise its probably best just a goto nearest port, await them to work out the best way forward logistically - better be this side than be half way across the pond and have to turn round. I did see on Twitter that the one parked up...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    This is pure speculation obviously but I'm thinking towards there could be a bigger issue at play here, if only one ship was sent to port then maybe technical or operational issues there but two? The only reason they are sent to anchor up is that they burn 10000$s/day in fuel while traveling...

    Christ knows how much the ship is losing a day parked up - to keep a delivery order seems rather silly, even by tesla standards. Is the entire cargo of that ship teslas?

    Someone did post earlier in the thread somewhere a link to someone on twitter at SFO saying they were loading up RHD M3P with grey wheels onto the Jasper but seems like a lot of people still waiting for their M3P for literally months, so hopefully this ship is stocked to the gills with just...

    Yet to have any VIN appear on either but I mean we're talking an order start of Oct and then middle of Oct, both M3P which seems to be where the current bottle neck is with stock.

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    I'm actually tempted to swap one to the long range plus as they seem to have constant stock on the tesla website at the moment. They are both company cars so not too concerned about the delivery too much as it just means we'll have to pay an extra month or two of higher company car tax but...

    Put a M3 performance on order 1st Oct, however HATED the silver wheels and was ready to simply have these coated once it arrived. They then introduced the darker wheels so I've simply re-ordered (have two on order now..) Neither have VINs or have had any movement other than normal order...
