There was a version for me a few months ago where my display would lock up entirely for a couple of minutes and reboot. The worst part was the fact that there was no real visual indication that anything had happened - I'd only notice after a while that the speed wasn't changing (eg I'd slowed...

The changes are minimal if you live in a warm climate, sure.... Californians aren't likely to give much of a *sugar* If you live somewhere that has colder winters, though, the heated steering wheel is nice. But far more importantly, the heat pump makes a BIG difference to fuel economy in winter...

Why is the speedometer font so small? KNOWING MY SPEED AT A GLANCE IS IMPORTANT, MAKE IT VISIBLE I dislike the UI change in general, but I can live with most change, whereas that's just downright stupid.

As of yesterday, my car decided to stop shutting down when I get out. Last night I noticed the lights stayed on after I'd been out of the car for perhaps 10 minutes. I'm not 100% sure if it locked, but certainly the lights were on. I went out and couldn't get them to switch off until I did a...

Driving in the Lake District today, I managed to misjudge a corner and clobber my wheel fairly nastily I drove a slightly different route to usual, and over-corrected when a van came around the corner the other way a little too quickly. I followed the line of the corner, but didn't notice until...

I've noticed this, and in our case we figured out it's not the headlining but is actually part of the seatbelt - either the seatbelt buckle rattling against the seat, or the height-adjust part of the seatbelt mechanism rattling. It only happens without a passenger and happens far more often if...

I was driving today about 10 miles from home (after ~12 miles of driving), and I got the normal "low battery, charge soon" error (I forget the exact wording), which was pretty weird because I had ~260 miles of range, I just charged a few days ago and have only done a handful of miles since then...

2020.8.3 on the way for me too - previously 2020.4.2 I believe, which installed about an hour after I left the Service Centre 3 weeks ago when I collected the car. Currently stuck on 10%: hopefully I'm just being impatient, not getting that weird "update sticking on 10%" thing

This talk about the grant being removed for the P3D makes me even happier that I got my short-notice "Cancelled slot" delivery on Tuesday, before the budget. Fingers crossed for those still waiting

Ah okay yeah that's my confusion: it was a Performance.

1. Asherwood – 15/01 – Black/Black – Hidden VIN 18/02 2. 94jdh – 09/12 – MSM/White – VIN 22/02, confirmed delivery 25th March, on Glovis Captain 3. Lupe – 15/11 – Blue/Black – 5th March collection 4. Wayneski – 16/01 - white/black – VIN before end jan. delivery 2nd March! 5. Mtomas – 23/01 -...

There was a White/White being collected yesterday in Stockport: I'm 100% sure as I sat in it while the new owner checked all the lights were working - so presumably it's a very recent change if they've stopped making them. That does seem very odd though, since it seems to be quite a popular...

I've owned two Audi A3s, and driven a variety of Audi courtesy cars in the A3/A4/Q2/Q3/Q5 ranges The Tesla feels at least as good as them. I can feel the fact the car is heavier, but it doesn't feel 50% heavier. At high speed it feels just as planted as my A3, and if anything seems to absorb...

Not everyone has home charging. I will, but many people can’t. But also, what happens if a family member falls ill and I was planning to charge that night? 10-15 minutes at a supercharger is fine, 5 minutes at a petrol station is ideal... 40 minutes at a supermarket isn’t. I know that isn’t the...

I’d pay the extra (indeed, I did) for the performance model - mostly for the updated brakes, better looking wheels, and bragging rights But honestly after having driven it, I don’t think I’d pay for the acceleration upgrade on the AWD LR... the full bore 0-60 is a fun party trick but in the...

I’ll consider agreeing with this sentiment once there is a supercharger within a 90 minute drive of my home...

Collected today, 3 weeks and one day after the order was placed Do I update the post or remove my entry?

Things that tend to fluctuate like crazy during a recession: Petrol. Things that tend not to: Electricity. Things that tend to have shortages during panic buying: Petrol. Things that you can't panic buy: Electricity

I've just had a call today telling me that I can collect my car tomorrow (originally slated for collection in JUNE) and I've seen a few others in the same scenario, so it sounds like people are indeed losing their cars by deferring. Tesla don't like to keep cars in stock (or on ships) over the...

My collection has been confirmed for tomorrow (10th March). P3D, White/Black, ordered 17th February... so I'm 99.99% sure that I've been matched to someone else's cancelled or delayed order (possibly a company car that they've delayed until April) So that's me firmly in the "delighted" box -...

Delivery date was estimated as 8th June last week, but I got a message and phone call today telling me that my car is booked in for collection TOMORROW (3 weeks after the order was placed). Confirmed with Tesla and they've confirmed the car is for me. Presumably someone cancelled their order or...

We don't know, is the short answer. The rates have only been confirmed up to 2022-23 For the long answer: We don't know, we can only speculate: I would be surprised if it jumped straight back to 16%, though - I'm expecting it to either stay at 2% for a few years and then slowly ramp up, or to...

Not OP, but he joined the forum the day before my order went in and I've also had an estimate of 8th June To get delivery for the 16th of March, though, that means he's been assigned a car that's already en route to Europe: someone else has cancelled their order or, more likely, requested to...

I'm expecting to charge my Model 3 less often than once per week... but obviously it depends how often you need to charge. As long as both of your cars can handle 2 days of normal use on one charge, plus a bit of a buffer so you aren't running to 0, you should be absolutely fine. So if your...

I wouldn't mind a hatchback, but it appears that the Y will have slightly less range than the 3, and in winter the P3D is already borderline for a journey I regularly make. So overall, I'm still happy to lose the hatchback convenience (I don't go to IKEA that often) in exchange for being able to...

The Tesla charger can't be subsidised, and they can only communicate with each other: so you'd have to get two Tesla chargers (both unsubsidised) or find another charger that can load share - I don't know of another off the top of my head, but I haven't looked into it That might be okay, it...

You'll likely need a second 32A breaker, unless your chargers are 16A or less each You're also likely to be pushing the limit of your home's main breaker, so you might need an upgrade there too. Most homes have either an 80A or 100A breaker

In this instance they are wrong, the 0% rate applies to EVs registered prior to April 2020 too. They may be confused because BIK and VED (road tax) changes often only apply to newly registered cars after the date of change going forward (eg they aren't applied retrospectively) - but in this...

You can calculate the tradeoff: If you charge once per month from 10% to 90%, that's 60 kWh So saving 1p per kWh would be 60p/month of savings. If the standing charge is <2p more expensive, you will be better off. If the standing charge is >2p more expensive, you will be worse off If you...

7500 private miles/yr, 10p + VAT excess mileage - so £100 if I do an extra 1000 miles. Business mileage is excluded as long as I submit a mileage claim, which I would do anyway because I get paid for business miles. Total expected mileage will be 9-10k/yr, but my costs are calculated on the 7500...

£1100? Jesus, that's insane: you're right, that's very nearly double what we're seeing. My sacrificed amount is £570, which is slightly more than a private lease but with insurance and no deposit, so that seems fair enough That sounds like Tusker taking the piss, though, rather than some...

My main advice to anyone thinking about the NHS scheme is TO FORGET THE WORD CONTRIBUTIONS. It's entirely, completely, 100% irrelevant. How much your employer pays in makes NO difference to your pension, nor does how much you pay (although how much you pay is linked to the sacrificed amount, you...

1. Asherwood – 15/01 – Black/Black – Hidden VIN 18/02 2. 94jdh – 09/12 – MSM/White – VIN 22/02, told late March (maybe early April) delivery on Glovis Captain 3. Lupe – 15/11 – Blue/Black – 5th March collection 4. Wayneski – 16/01 - white/black – VIN before end jan. delivery 2nd March! 5. Mtomas...

Run that one by me again? Because those numbers aren't even CLOSE to what I'm seeing My P3D is costing me £300 net, and I'm losing pension equivalent to 1/54th of £6800 (the sacrificed amount), or £126, for each year I have the car So essentially for each month I have the car, I lose £300 out...

And, once again, the colonies are wrong... the clue's in the name, chaps: it isn't there to power or lubricate your wipers, it's there to wash your screen.

If you have a company/fleet lease that includes insurance, you should arrange the collection through your lease company or at least make coordinate with them - otherwise you risk your car being uninsured if the lease company aren't aware and haven't added it to their group policy

1. Asherwood – 15/01 – Black/Black – No VIN 2. 94jdh – 09/12 – MSM/White – VIN 22/02, told late March (maybe early April) delivery on Glovis Captain 3. Lupe – 15/11 – Blue/Black – 5th March collection 4. Wayneski – 16/01 - white/black – VIN before end jan. delivery 2nd March! 5. Mtomas – 23/01 -...

Yeah, we'd normally expect June wouldn't we? March, June, September, December are the main delivery months in Europe as far as I can tell, with some cars appearing the month before those and almost none in the month after

Now that Superchargers are moving to CCS connectors, I'd much rather see the charging networks starting to coalesce: ideally around superchargers. Ford, Jaguar etc can all commmit to building 100 supercharger sites each, while joining the network and contributing equally to future...

Ordered today (17 Feb), so I'll presumably be at the back of the queue for now: I've got my fingers crossed that my order sneaks onto an end-of-quarter RHD shipment, but I'm expecting May/June realistically My current lease car doesn't go back until August (£200 early termination, which I...
