I need two new rears on my 19” Y. Hankook Ventus s1 Evo 3 is £215 each Mercedes fit and £285 Tesla. Really worth the extra £70 for some sound deadening? I think their is a gap in YouTube for someone to dissect these different tyres and work out the actual differences! Would they fit a...

Thanks for your help. What do you mean by read the octopus every half hour to disable PW discharge? Do you mean set up a script to do this? Is there a setting to stop the PW discharging? I cant find a setting to stop PW discharge.

Just installed a powerwall. I charge the car with IO. Problem is if octopus sets a charge after 5.30(end of cheap rate set for powerwall) then it drains the powerwall to charge the car rather then take from the grid. Any way to get round this otherwise I am going to end up with a lot of cycling...

Just recieved a message that my fit payments will move to being SMART rather then assumed 50%. Perfectly unlucky timing for me as I am just about to have a battery installed! I am sure I exported >50% historically but will be <50% going forward with the battery...

My wife asked to be put on the tracker last week and was told there is a 6 month wait list as they are only swapping 50 people a day. Anyone else been told this/ been able to switch in the last few days?

I just heard from one supplier that Tesla has just reduced the price of the powerwall by £2.5k. Can anyone confirm if that is correct?

Many thanks for the advice. They look like a good option. If anyone happens to know a good installer on the south coast. (Brighton/Worthing area) please let m know.

I have been waiting ~9m for a PW and still no sign. Just wondered if there are any recommendations for alternatives that are more readily available. My main aim is to capture solar and charge with cheap off peak rates. Not too fussed about off grid operation in a power cut. I know this has...

Hopefully a very simple question. What clips do I need for Model Y mud flaps (the standard ones behind front wheel)? I managed to pull one mud flap off on a curb at the weekend. It looks fine apart from the clips broke. Tesla specific or if generic a link to a suitable part would be amazing.

Thanks. Do you think it would work if I set the zappi to boost for the time period of IO and leave it in eco+ at other times?

Sorry probably does not help those that have already ordered but I got the mats below for my Y. £146 at the time. I live in muddy countryside, with a big muddy dog and messy family. If thats you (rather then those that have amazing skills at keeping everything clean and tidy - I wish I could...

How do you get your schedule? This is all I see. I transferred to IO yesterday and the test all worked ok. But my app screen didn’t show a schedule (and it charged last night to 85% set on car not 80% set in Octopus app)

Well its Friday and they say they will be back up this week. My current Go contract ends on the 28 October (2 weeks) so keen to see what they come up with. A tweak or a change of approach?

I love 99% of my model Y. (its my second Tesla) but the windscreen wipers are crap. No problem historically I would just turn them off when they start randomly going, but they caused me to turn to grumpiness yesterday. I drove from the south coast to the Peak district on Friday and back last...

Thanks Warp9lecy One other question. Can you also charge up a powerwall on IO? I am in a long line waiting for a Tesla powerwall but when it arrives it would be good to do the same off peak charging.

Great thread. Sorry if this has already been asked in this thread but I could not find an answer. I have a zappi and usually it charges automatically when the solar is generating. I assume that as the charger has to be left on 'fast' there is no way to get this to still charge from solar in...

Do standard perspex plate fit in the Tesla holder? If not anywhere online I can buy the metal ones that do?

Ahh. Thanks! Ok, maybe I will find a hotel outside the ZTL! Bureaucracy can be interesting in Italy so I will try and avoid. Lots of things to love about Italy too though. Driven there plenty of times in an ICE without issue. Or am I missing something? 😊

Can I drive a UK electric car in an Italian ZTL area? Going to Italy in the summer and heading into some cities like Pisa. I see some cities have a restricted area called a ZTL. According to google electric cars are allowed in a ZTL, but do I need to somehow register my registration for this...

Got a large chip in my model Y windscreen this weekend. Anyone had a new model Y screen fitted yet?

Hmm. We are driving to southern Italy and Greece in the summer and my wife asked me what it will cost in electricity. I have been having the same challenge trying to find supercharger prices. Cant find them anywhere. Would using £45p as a ballpark estimate be a good starting point / average...

Really wish I had gone for the Tesla black wheels instead of the silver Geminis. How do these wheels look in the flesh, I am very tempted!

Look like they are back in stock. I just ordered a roof rack for my Y.

I drove an EV6. I really liked it, but as a family car the boot is tiny. The Y is a family wagon compared to the EV6. If you want bikes, surfboards, tents, dog......in a car the Y is in a different category to the EV6. I have to say I got into my audi A6 (2015) today after driving the y for...

Can anyone recommend a company to supply power wall or other battery option in the West Sussex Area? East Sussex, Hampshire and surrey suppliers might also cover my postcode (BN44) I have tried several places and they either dont answer or dont come back to me. My set up and request is pretty...

I got concerned about mileage and a dent in my door that someone gifted me a week before trade in my M3 for an MY. I do 1600miles/month (so was over their allowance) and the dent was clear. The Telsa guys were looking at it while having a cigarette as I drive out in the new MY. After signing...

Still waiting for these to come into stock! Hopefully soo. Can anyone who has them tell me if I can attach Thule bike carriers to them like this? With their curved shape I am not sure if they will work.

I think this is hard one to judge. I test drove with inductions but then purchased with geminis. I couldn’t tell a difference on the wheels but I did drive 3 months appart. On smooth roads the Y is definitely quieter then my 2020 M3 was. Wind noise is far reduced. On some (not all) bumpy roads...

Not sure if this helps but I popped into a detailer yesterday to book a date for my Y to be prepared and ceramic coated and I mentioned these types of marks in paint and glass. He showed me a brand new Mercedes’ he had just had dropped of and it also had a couple of similar marks (not as many as...

Thanks. Someone else also sent me a link to this one that is now out which I ordered on Monday. Y Dog Guard

Can you see any better on this zoom in?

My new blue model Y has some white marks on the paintwork on the bonnet. They look at first like a small piece of grey ash has landed on the bonnet, but giving them a rub they are light marks in the paint. No blemish to the surface. I was taking the car for a quote from a detailer and he said...

Thanks, Anyone tried these wheel covers from ebay? ebay wheel covers

I picked up by blue model Y yesterday. It was filthy! Just given it a wash and it has some white marks on the bonnet and dirt under the PPF. Only done 78 miles so I believe I can report it. How do I do that? Do I just raise it as a service request? Also wishing I had gone for the...

Just phoned Directline to get my insurance changed on Saturday from Model 3 to Model Y. Increase of £90 for the year. I then asked if I could keep my current tesla insured for a 1 month overlap. Yes you can and we will give you a refund of £76. Er I said - are you sure that is right that you...

Looks great!

That makes sense. My current M3 is white and you cant see any swirls on that. To be honest it has been washed by a whole range of skill levels from detailers to my local hand car wash. It really doesn't look that bad after 2 years. New MY is blue. I liked white in the M3 but dont like it so...

Picking up my new Model Y on Saturday and as this one will be a car I buy, rather then the company car M3 I currently have, I am looking into getting a Ceramic coating. Seams about ~£600 for that. As I know from a previous car I purchased (used) and was already ceramic coated, it really made...

Oh, better then me! I am trading my 2020 SR+ white 27k for £33,820 next Saturday. I go this quote 5weeks ago. Now all my finance is set I dont think I can change it. Shame.

Anyone found a dog guard for a Y yet? Getting my Y in 1 week so keen to get guard and dog proof boot protection ASAP.

Sorry should say Dent not Tent - but I don't seam to be able to edit the title! Parked the car at an electric charger in Brighton, came back and found someone has dented the passenger door! Must of been a hard wack from another cars door. Really frustrating on two fronts; 1. The car offered...

Anyone know who they consider the register keeper for a company car? 'My' M3. I say 'my' M3 because the PCP Black Horse lease is with my employer, has my current car in the name of the company (no persons name on V5). Can anyone drop off a car for trade in if its in a company name?

I have a booked delivery slot on 12 March in Southampton. No VIN assigned on the website. So seams you can get a fixed delivery date without an assigned VIN. No idea what ship that is on but pretty tight if its on the Morning Carina!

I will be heading to Greece in the summer for a few weeks in our UK Tesla. Can anyone give me advice on what apps and or charge cards I need to sign up for to be able to charge (beyond the superchargers) in Greece? I have seen some Blink chargers, but they appear to need an RFID card or app...

Any dog owners found a dog guard for a model Y yet in the UK? My retriever will be trying to climb over the back seats!

I have been offered a pick up for 14 March for my MY. Great but I am not sure if the finance will be sorted in time/ other car sold. If I agree to a pick up date am I fully committed at that point or can I delay delivery between now the the 14th? Ideally I think I will be ready closer to the...

What are the wheels with the twin spoke arms in silver? Are they another option not available in the UK or are they what lies under the standard wheel covers?

Any experience with car actual selling prices? For my 2020 (March) M3SR+ 26k miles I got; £33,820 Tesla Trade in £34,810 Webuyanycar £36,010 Motorway There is no damage or marks on the car except one wheel has a small curbing. Any view how close to these prices people actually get with...

My family (2 adults and a 13 and 15yrs) is planning to take the whole school summer holiday off and drive to Greece. COVID allowing! Hopefully my MY will have arrived by then (otherwise in M3sr+)so we will be travelling electric. Planning to head through the following route, but could all...

I had my test drive in the MY today. Currently I have a 2020 M3SR+. Things I noted; Much quieter at motorway speeds then my model 3. On bumpy A and B roads the noise from pot holes and bumps is similar, but at motorway speeds the wind noise is much reduced. Really pleased about that as I...
