I will be back to give you all updates soon, forgot I left you all hanging. Oh deer 🤭

It's the clients I'm worried about, not colleagues. I'm in a business where appearances do matter quite a bit, regardless of how shallow that is and sounds. I often get annoyed at the shallowness of it all, but it pays the bills and gets me a Tesla that I love! 😅

I thought I’ve mentioned it in my OP. I’m with Direct Line. Do you have any suggestions of how I could try to argue this? (I’m definitely up for an argument if it has the potential of getting me anywhere..)

Good god 😱😱😱 that’s close to being tripled. I can only stay with Direct Line on renewal as for some reason every other company offer me quotes for £5K + for no reason. It’s been like that since I took my first car 😓 So they have me by the balls quite literally, luckily, they don’t know that 🤣

That’s good to hear 👂 When I spoke to them today they seemed nice but I heard the problems are usually after. I since this afternoon looked at my policy properly and realised Direct Line have Guaranteed Hire and GH Plus and I let you guess which one is on my policy 😩. I take it adding it on...

🤦🏼‍♀️😩 Gosh You deffo can see it quite a bit of that orange peel..

Oh noo.. but it made me think… Tesla is customary to stuff like that.. so maybe they want to ensure you get the manufacturer’s experience with them too? 🤪🤭🤭🤭

That’s good to know, thank you. I will enquire tomorrow if that’s an option.

Sorry to hear that.. Hope it all goes well. 🤞🏻

Were Auxillis managing the claim/repair for you as well as the rental or just the rental please? My repair will be done by Veetec so shouldn’t interfere with the timeline I would have hoped? There is no chance I could afford to pay the repair out of pocket at the moment.. The damage to the...

hehe.. not my car 😂 That's also a MS and mine is a M3. With that wrap I'd be identifiable in the whole country hahah.

That's interesting. I had less than 10NCD, I'm left with 3 now.. so yay for me lol. It makes me feel a bit better that I only need to realistically build up to 5..

Thank you so much, this is really helpful actually. I didn't protect the NCD as my thought was that if there is a claim insurance goes up anyways and you'll have to declare it on renewals for a few years anyways.. Luckily there's a LONG time before renewal as I've only renewed a few months...

Nope, me, a truck driver and highway patrol went and check and it wasn't there anymore.. (looking at sentry footage it flew/jumped on the grass so wasn't hit again). But I guess he/she could have died from internal injuries later on like humans.. I hope not 😔

I will avoid certain details to ensure I'm not identifiable.. The other day was travelling apprx 300miles and at about 290miles I hit a deer! That's the first time I've seen one in real life 😒 , not a pleasant one. Travelling at 65-70mph my M3 took a strong hit, all passengers are fine and the...

That is so sweet 🥲 Honestly the simple thing is, behind the uniform there’s a person like you and me. And to be fully honest…the ladies at the reception desk REALLY tried to help.

I HAVE AN UPDATE!!!!!!!! Well.. this happened way sooner than I ever expected.! DL upheld the claim and will be admitting to their mistake. I feel so blessed. They will be issuing a letter confirming this and confirming person C was insured and remains insured. They will pay for all of the...

I forgot to mention, I was meant to go to the police station first, get it officially released, then go to the pound. Hence the Q!

Also.. DL updated my policy, and created a new one because apparently it was “defective” and the new one still is not on the portal 🤦🏼‍♀️ So in a way… I think it goes in my favour that their portal has issues! 😅 (because I received an email confirmation of the new policy when they did it but on...

I wanted to give an update, the police decided to release the car. They DID call DL to check our insurance was valid while impounded (as in you’re covered to drive off, not time wise), DL confirmed it was fine for them. Advice: - IF you have finance on the car, you need to make contact as they...

On a serious note…. Do we actually take something to the police station like chocolates or something? 🫣😆 This is a serious question

This is WHY I am so confused! DL confirmed they’re happy for the policy holder to stroll away from the pound but they said the police may not accept it and require the specialist insurance nonetheless.

I have written proof of pre renewal and we’re awaiting for DL to make a final decision for the cover during the incident. So I can’t slap away the impending motoring conviction for Person C just yet.. as we need to await for the decision.

Thanks, I think the police were being overzealous (although from their end is warranted by what they thought the situation was). Personally I don’t understand why on earth would anyone drive without insurance so from my perspective it sounds silly I or anyone would dare to do this, but they see...

So DL confirmed they have no issues with it. But they said the police may not accept it and require specialist impound/compound release insurance. But they’re happy on their end

Thank you. This is really helpful. Unfortunately fees have already been piling up as it’s been a few days… But I’ll rock up to police station and try my luck soon.

This made me chuckle… and definitely cheaper than £700+ 😵‍💫

While I understand your skepticism, yes there is more that meets the eye a massive misunderstanding on my end and a massive cock-up on DL ends. I refrained from posting every detail to avoid being identifiable. There currently is an investigation pending on the insurance end. What happened is...

I am about to do this. Waiting times for DL rn are atrocious lol I’ve had to call them for this incident like 6x already and had to wait like 1h each time 😵‍💫

I’ve been looking through the Direct Line booklet and the impound/seize situation is only mentioned if you’re driving a different vehicle… So should I assume that it is covered otherwise? As it doesn’t mention it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes exactly, so you need insurance that covers impounding. By a google search it says that impounding is usually not covered on most policies..

So apparently a normal insurance does not cover the impound. To me it just sounds like money making scheme as it’s stupid. But the police was adamant I need the special insurance 🤷🏼‍♀️

I haven’t… I’m a bit scared they’ll cancel my whole insurance 🫣 The police said sometimes that *can* happen.. Plus I’m going through this whole complaint as their error (in my eyes) is what put me in this whole situation. If the policy is voided no other *reasonable* inurer covers Tesla for...

Hi everyone, The other day my model 3 has been seized by the police due to an insurance issue which made it look as if one of the drivers would be driving uninsured. I am trying to get impound insurance but struggling to find anyone to cover the model 3? (Current residual value seems to only be...

Omg thank you so much for such an in depth list! Honestly the MOT was a bit of a wake up call tire-wise. I just realised that on my previous car I had alloy and tire insurance and somehow got lots of punctures and eventually one by one my tires were replaced for brand new ones 😂 so I never had...

Any recommendations? I have a SR+ with the 18” aero wheels. Approaching thread depth limit after 18.5K miles and trying not to break the bank 😭 I drive split 65-35 between motorway/dual carriageway and city roads. Would probably prefer all weather tyres as I work up north (further up than...

I don’t have FSD so I’m not sure if you’re being serious or sarcastic as I don’t know what the feature does 🙈😂 But you can deff see everything with the camera when reversing… but nothing in the front!

What is TEP?

He’s saying basically if they told you no refund once, and you call again, they will know person 1 said no, so they will also say the same.

Isn’t that just basics of buying a brand new car since like for ever? Realistically, I don’t care about that as the MY was meant to be my “for ever” car for the next 8-10yrs or whenever it breaks down/gets too expensive to repair/amazing technology is released to where it’s stupid to keep such...

Great take. I didn’t realise 5pm cams are on already.. I’m a sitting duck rn..

Is “being replaced” is VERY different from “here is the alternative”. Unlike Tesla, I feel confident to say despite knowing didly squat, that Audi has replaced it with something or made a plan BEFORE sending the cars out? And also told customers not 2 weeks before collection???

Same. Looking to order again maybe end of year or something.. will see how things progress…

I 100% agree with that. I did buy the Fiat first I really loved the car, then bought my Model 3 and really love it despite it all. But the model Y is such a massive upgrade (price wise as well!) that I’m not compromising (on something so important and convenient) until a replacement is...

I think.. and this is a big I think…. That’s the only advantage we have 😂 Ok.. that and the… NHS… ok sorry, sorry, sorry 🤣🤣🤣🥲 But just FYI, the law? I’m using here isn’t distance selling , usually that applies after the goods are delivered/collected (I believe?) it’s actually contract law...

No, I do not have the option in the account. The only option I have is to accept my car will be different rand proceed to delivery etc. You have to call them. Also, just to clarify, my advice is UK specific. So you should still have the right to cancel you just need to be careful about the...

Yes. Right to withdraw. Which is what I am going to do. Tesla or anyone else cannot force you into a contract we’re they changed SIGNIFICANTLY the car you are going to receive.

THIS! I hate how these posts start ego demonstrations of car driving capabilities! I don’t understand how this point gets missed. Do people get their Teslas for free? Because I have to pay about £55K (£60K when I ordered) for mine and I want ALL the bells and whistles even if I will never use...

I definitely panicked for a few days when I read the US posts about that until I figured they still included them here!

That is shocking! I’d you can be bothered, read my response just above this one, where I explained my thoughts about why they only decided to mention this 2 WEEKS before collection of such a thing and the fact they had plenty of options to do so before.
