    Brake replacement/upgrade due to poor performance

    A friend of mine has claimed that a garage owner he knows has replaced/upgraded many Tesla braking systems at the request of vehicle owners, due to poor brake performance. I'm wondering how valid this claim is. Has anyone here had (or is considering having) their Tesla's brakes upgraded by a 3rd...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    One and a half hour appointment today to replace the LH body controller and my trailer lighting board is now working 👌

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Google the pin-out diagram for 13 pin socket and put your black negative lead on one of the ground pins and the red lead on sidelight, brake light and indicator pins, when they are on, should show 12v on your meter for each pin that is live. I got nothing on any of them and concluded it needed...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    My appointment to replace the LH body control module is going ahead on Monday. Good timing, as I need to use my trailer soon.

    As expected my appointment has been pushed back by 3 weeks, due to non-availability of parts required.

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    True, I didn't also mention the trouble I had fitting the adapter. I had to cut a section of the adapter's flat plate to allow it to twist in the tight space and line up with socket flap. Let's also talk about the method of testing the 13 pin socket. I used the earth pins as negative and tapped...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Shouldn't we be asking for a full refund on the towbar cost, as it is not fit for purpose? I'll be happy to pay again in full when the job is complete.

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    I have a June 2022 delivered model Y and had the towbar kit fitted a couple of weeks post delivery. I ordered a 13 to 7 pin adapter and apart from test-fitting the removable towball, never actually tried using it until today when I connected up my 4-wheel trailer for collecting firewood. And of...

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    I'm a day-1 order, but couldn't take delivery in March because Tesla couldn't get me a windscreen for my model 3 for 3 months, so couldn't sell it or trade it in. My EDD was then moved to June, then September and now it has disappeared altogether. Maybe I'll get it within a year of ordering, but...

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    My Model Y EDD has been 6th-30th June for several weeks now, but just changed to 5th Aug - 14th Sept. What are Tesla trying to do to me? Sold my Model 3 already and won't have a car for months now. Someone please assure me it will change back to June.

    Long delay replacing Model 3 Windscreen

    Happy to report that my service appointment with Tesla went ahead and I got my replacement windscreen fitted today.

    Long delay replacing Model 3 Windscreen

    At time of writing I have now been waiting 101 days for either Autoglass or Tesla to get me a replacement Model 3 windscreen. Direct Line insurance agreed to allow Tesla to supply the windscreen and accepted my argument that DL's glass repairer could not provide the service required. I will pay...

    M3 LR granny charger not charging

    My ranger appointment was yesterday. No messing. He brought a replacement 3-pin UMC charger with him and of course it worked. Didn't even bother trying the original one supplied with the car. Stuck it in a plastic bag and took it away. Said they occasionally get failures. All this while...

    M3 LR granny charger not charging

    I could probably find an HPWC within a reasonably short distance from me, but we are currently on lockdown in the UK and are not permitted to do such trips. I have made an online service appointment with Tesla and they can do touchless ranger appointments, so I've booked one, but it's not for a...

    M3 LR granny charger not charging

    Many thanks for this. Okay, so I get a streaming green logo for about 30 seconds and then the EVSE clicks and goes to steady green and there is no red light. This isn't a combination mentioned in the pdf. The M3 screen says 3V and charging stopped. But there's more. The Tesla EVSE charges the...

    M3 LR granny charger not charging

    Our Nissan LEAF 40 is charging on our home 7Kw charger, so I thought I'd try the granny charger for the 1st time on the M3 LR. The charging light blinks blue and then goes red and the screen says charging stopped. I tried it plugged into the garage and also a socket in the house, but it was the...

    They may be reluctant to delay later than 31st, as the last day of the quarter is their deadline for all sales.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Called Tesla yesterday after placing the inventory order at the weekend. Turns out my LR is in Manchester and they have arranged a transfer to Edinburgh, so I now have an email and text and account-confirmed pickup next Wed 25th. Getting excited.

    Glovis Captain - Delivery text

    I ordered an existing inventory LR yesterday, Saturday 14th March. I already have a VIN since it's an inventory car. Should I assume that it is currently on Glovis Captain and to expect a delivery text soon? Is there a way to look up the source code in my account for the ship code, in the same...

    Performance vs LR AWD still worth it?

    I did have a P on order for 5 1/2 months, but the lease company, Tusker, screwed up the order and so I switched to a LR inventory car yesterday. I couldn't justify the difference in price since the budget. Others will and that's fine too.

    UK Performance orders waiting room

    Yes, they wasted 5 1/2 months. I was told to just order a non-Tesla car from their inventory :eek: I have ordered a Tesla inventory car direct from Tesla today instead. Life is too short to deal with these muppets.

    Did Tusker give you an RN to quote to Tesla? What spec did you order? Was it a Tusker stock listing?

    Have Tusker been able to give you Tesla RN for your M3P? Tusker placed my order with Tesla on 15th Nov, but they don't have an RN to quote me and there is no update in the spreadsheet.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Trouble is it's said "on order" for months now. If I use Chat, they'll refer to the Tesla spreadsheet and tell me ther is no RN, just like the Tusker-Tesla ordering person in the Purchasing dept tells me every time I call her.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Yeah, you'd think it would be that easy. I've had my Tesla account for longer than my Tusker order and carefully used the same email address for both, so that the account link would work as you suggest. Guess what?

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    I must have called Tusker every week or so for the last 5 months. Doesn't make a difference. I have not used the Chat facility, but when I phone I ask for and get through to the person who deals directly with Tesla and she looks up my order on the Tesla spreadsheet. Each time she says Tesla...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Yes, as my footer says, I placed the order with Tusker on the 4th Oct and they took 6 weeks to get it signed off and didn't place the order with Tesla until 15th Nov. No matter who I talk to I'm told there is no RN assigned to my order on the Tesla spreadsheet that is supplied to them to Tusker.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Called Tusker today, as they were expecting to hear from Tesla on the batch of orders they have with them. They did get the update, but I'm disappointed to hear that I've still not be allocated a vehicle despite order being placed 15th Nov (105 days ago). A M3P MSM/Black is hardly unicorn spec...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    The white is cheaper because the red you originally ordered is £2000 more. Even then, the white stock they are offering is still £76/month more than my quote and I have ordered a colour which has a £1000 premium. The opinions of service from Tusker varies by customer. Your experience doesn't...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Ordered an MSM/Black M3P on 4th Oct through Tusker salary sacrifice and waited 6 weeks for sign-off with neither side chasing it until I did. So Tusker didn't place the order on Tesla until 15th Nov. Despite numerous calls to Tesla and Tusker no one will quote me an RN number or give me any idea...

    2020 Shipping Movements

    You'd think so, but sadly no. If I can't quote an RN to Tesla then they won't even attempt to locate an order of the hundreds that Tusker have placed on them. Apparently it's a spreadsheet of specs, but no customer details. Until Tesla match a vehicle with a spec on Tusker's spreadsheet and send...

    2020 Shipping Movements

    I've ordered through Tusker salary sacrifice and they don't give RNs (no matter how often I plead) and so Tesla can't join the dots without it. I can't get any information from either of them despite calling both over the last few months.

    How soon before a ship docks does the port normally start filling up with Teslas?
