Thanks Bhav — hopefully it will make more sense when the “Shipping Forecast” side is back in action. We have a very special guest involved hosting it, and I think it is a natural “way in” for people, and while they’re waiting we have the simple checklist to help them. Also writing my review...

Hi George — both good websites, very comprehensive, lots of detail. I’ve found them useful, just like I find these forums useful. But do you see we are trying to achieve a different purpose? A one pager for busy normal people? That’s what’s missing. I believe there’s space for both and they...

Thanks everyone, this is really helpful. I always go into the app to stop charging, then turn off at the wall socket and then unplug the wall plug. Then to start again, plug in at the wall, turn on the socket, and the car gets itself going.

If you think there's a better simple guide to the ten things normal people should do while preparing for your Tesla, I'd genuinely like to see it and learn from it. Saving 2/3 on your fuel with Octopus would be my first recommendation (especially because it takes time.) Getting your charger...

Thanks George -- regarding original content, that's where the Shipping Forecast is a great feature (as we approach the next season...) However, equally I believe sometimes it's a matter of bringing just the simple useful facts to the forefront. About distilling down all the complexity and...

Basically I just asked them if there were any factors regarding the Tesla that I hadn’t ticked in the online quote and she asked if I had autopilot, which resulted in £50 down. Maybe she was blagging it to close the deal... Said there wasn’t an option for dashcams directly, which was a shame.

Couldn’t find anything in search for this, but it’s a funny one to phrase. I’ve been plugging in the connector end to my Model 3 when I get home, then not plugging in the 3 pin end to the wall inside until I go to bed (drama with plug sockets, don’t ask...) Then sometimes in the morning will...

Appreciate the encouragement. At the same time, I do understand it’s natural to compare to the forums and think it lacking... because it is by design! This place does such a good job of what it’s for, the last thing I want to do is directly duplicate it.

Just to chip in with another experience of this. Several times on perfectly normal country lanes. Started to wonder if it was bushes and things sticking out to confuse it but was it was adamant I was about to drive us off a cliff Thelma & Louise style.

I tried to get away from naming specific insurers — instead emphasising that you want to make sure they know it has a tracker, dashcam etc. On the phone to Direct Line, found they had a special tick box for Autopilot alone that saved me £50 (!) Re. Dashcam storage, I’ve gone with the...

Thanks for checking in Vanilla Air — you have to remember: the whole point of this site is not to tell someone like you anything you don’t already know, it’s to put the main checklist of things to do in the simplest possible form for “normals”. There’s no need for me to replace what this forum...

Thanks NewbieT — I’m trying to strike a balance between covering the important core elements and not getting too in the weeds. Think tabloid rather than broadsheet (I don’t want to replace all the great info on this site, so happy for them to “progress” here.) For example: the OLEV grant, does...

Since ordering my Model 3 in January, I’ve been blown away by how helpful and entertaining this community has been. If you’re a certain type of forum-friendly, potentially slightly tech user, trawling this site is great. But not everyone gets the same kick out of digging through all the info...

Delivery text just came in — Ordered 19 Jan, hidden VIN around 14 Feb, London pickup scheduled 10 March. Was told was on Brooklands for recent few weeks. Blue SR+.

Appreciate a referral please!

And done!

In the market for an Octopus referral code please...

REVELATION. Makes A LOT more sense now...

Have a feeling I got through to the same woman just today -- very helpful actually. Confirmed I'm on the Brooklands, due to arrive this direction first week or March and expect delivery second week or third at latest. Background: Blue SR+ 19 Jan order 16 Feb found hidden VIN (Also, still Q...

As I understand it, I’d have to pay the full amount on 40k, as I’m not leasing. Curious what will happen - I’d already mentioned need for timings by calling up so maybe eg Brooklands will have the leeway...

In case useful to anyone for comparison: hidden VIN appeared on my blue SR+, Jan 19 order to LDN. Had a note not to deliver before BIK updates of April, will see how progresses...

Same situation here — ordered late January. Surprised not to see more talking about (and expecting delivery) in line with BIK timings. However, I’m paying in full instead of lease — blue SR+. Be interesting to see if timings any different, will update as we go...
