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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Anyone know when Tesla will start to offer finance (PCP) on MY? It doesn't currently appear on their website I dont think. I want to get an idea of the cost for a 2 year / 20k miles/year PCP with minimal deposit so I can get it agreed with my employer. When I got my M3SR+ 2 years ago the...

I have two email addresses that I use. My current model 3 and my Tesla account our on my gmail email. I just ordered a model Y, while logged into my account, but I used apple pay for the deposit, which is associated with a different email address. So Tesla is asking me to set a password for a...

Anyone know if the Uk model Y will be MCU3?

My local council (Horsham West Sussex) has a system of offering (allegedly) discounted home battery storage solutions. I am keen to get this as I have both solar panels and cheap night time electricity (Go). They offer a 12.3Kw system called a Growatt GBLI6532 for £5680. It is 2x 6.5Kw...

I love my model 3, but we also have an Audi A6 for the sole job of transporting the dog. They are too big for the footwell in a 3 and the boot is obviously no good. My lease ends next April so could be good timing for a Y. So anybody actually seen a model Y and have any idea if I could a)...

To celebrate Elon’s latest rocket assembly which do you think will happen first!

Drivers side front suspension speaks as I drive. If I get out and lean on the wing it squeaks as it goes up and down. Just became noticeable over the last couple of weeks. Anyone had this? Can’t see anything caught but thought I would ask in case anything obvious to check before making a ranger...

I am sure this is fake but made me laugh. I find my SR+ fast. This must be painfull. When will the 0-60 measurement become obsolete? Roadster video

Since the new UI I have been hoping they would use all that white space under the speedometer to put the sat nav directions rather then them being in the centre of the screen in too small a font for me. Briefly for the first time today while driving near Chichester the directions appeared for a...

Moderator comment - thread renamed and merged from "SR+ Stability/Drift" and "lack of slide" I have an SR+ that I got in the spring. Over the summer no noticeable issues powering out of roundabouts and corners. Traction control seamed to handle it. Since the roads have got wet and tyres cold I...

I just scraped the front bumper pulling close to the verge on a country road to avoid another car!! So annoyed. 30 years of driving 20k miles a year and never put scratch on my car. Buy my first new car (Tesla) and 5 months in -Arrgh! Any advice on what type of repair it will need, how to...

Just to check I am not being an idiot before putting in a service request. I can't get the electrics to work on the tow bar with a trailer. I tried two different light boards. Both cases I selected trailer mode and it just shows a red caravan picture. First time I have tried anything on the...

I picked up my m3 on 6 March. Its been great, but I cant get hold of my V5. An issue because I need it for the grant for my Zappi charger. Has anyone else had issues with getting their V5 over lock down? The car is owned by my employer, but the V5 has not turned up at my work. Tesla tell me...

I do not know the limits of what the interface is between TeslaFi and Tesla cars but I would really like it to; Close the windows at 6pm (if I have pressed the vent button to keep the car cool in the day) and monitor interior temp and if >35C vent the windows I find myself forgetting I have...

Simple question I think. I have at last got round to washing my car and then applying autoglym HD wax to it to protect it. Hoping that will make washing easier over the next couple of months. I just wasn't sure if I can wax the wheel covers. It says only use on painted surfaces. Looks like the...

Probably stupid and obvious questions to most! Picked up my car yesterday and there are a few questions I have; I thought UK cars had to make sound below 12mph. I don't hear anything at low speed - is that normal or something you turn on in the settings? Where is the hazard light switch...

The company I am working for is getting an M3 for me to use as my company car with a PCP contract from Tesla/Black Horse. This has meant the CEO (as the company director) has had to complete the paperwork to get it agreed. Kind of him as he is head of a 100 person company and pretty busy...

My kids are excitedly waiting for my M3 arrival for only one reason -they want to be able to play games while bored in the car. (Well and the farting!) I haven’t told them I am getting it next Friday and want to surprise them. So does anyone have suggestions for cheap games controllers? I don’t...

Does anyone know the status of FSD and roundabouts? I am pretty sure middle of last year when I started looking at the model 3 the blurb about FSD on Tesla website mentioned that roundabouts would be a feature they would be adding. Looking today it says; “Coming later this year: Recognise...
