    Charge port issue

    Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes HI temperature to try and dry the charging port.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Can someone help a noob like me understand what steps I should take in order to understand and install battery/and or solar to get off the grid and maximize the octopus go window - I don't use it unless I'm charging! We have 2 young ones and my wife refuses to switch the usage during the...

    12v Switched?

    For my model Y I purchased a Egen Cellink NEO 6 lipo battery to avoid tapping into wires as I did for my model 3 - planning on powering my ambient lights and my dashcam from the cellink. I most likely will tap into the footwells to get the trigger for my relay. Rather than a switched 12v, I was...

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    I would highly recommend gap insurance. Also on Insurance talk - getting a quote 30 days from the time you need it is usually the cheapest - the insurance company can save the quote without the registration and once you get it (about a week before pick up), you can let them know and start the...

    Free public charging etiquette?

    Yes agreed that is the real issue, irrespective of phev or bev. The Tesco has a 3 hr restriction, which must not apply to staff. In this scenario, I would expect, for etiquette's sake, that once the RR is fully charged the car should be moved to allow usage of both pod points. The smaller...

    Free public charging etiquette?

    Funny you mentioned a range rover PHEV! At my local Tesco, there are 2 free 7 kw pod points. I don't often need to charge as it's usually a short shop and it will make hardly any difference to my charge lvls, but every time I've visited (sometimes twice a day) 1 of the 2 is constantly used by a...

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    As I had always had a keen eye on the MYP, I have been following this thread with anticipation of its arrival here in the UK! I noticed a few people on here are not aware of the processes tesla has, so my post here might help some of you who are new to tesla's unique buying approach. The way...

    Does anyone wave anymore?

    Hey! When I got my model 3, I waved at others (my son loves spotting them and counts how many he sees on each journey) - I found the S and X's to not wave back, but my fellow 3 bedrins did. Nowadays I get blanked by practically everyone but the odd 3/Y, and SWMBO just laughs at me and tells me...

    Model Y low speed pedestrian safety sound

    This is interesting - my 2020 Model 3 didn't have the speaker installed for pws to work at all, and during its tenure, I didn't have any close encounters with pedestrians. I liked the fact it made no noise, especially late nights/ early mornings - it was very stealth-like. My model y does...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I didn't, and don't know how to. I must have got lucky when i created my folder a few years back. I had a quick look to see if I can find variables and found it within the dashboard settings - heres the two side by side.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Naughty Tesla WWYD?

    The issue I find with Tesla is there is no accountability and no one to take the reigns when and if things go out of the norm - it's like the computer says no. This is a classic example in my opinion and apart from escalating to the service manager, not sure what other options would be left...

    Q2 Collections - new owners thread

    A lot noisier than my 2020 model 3, but I've noticed this is usually down to the fan being on etc. Once these are off, nothing out of the ordinary here :) I have to say I was a lot happier without the PWS speaker and the fake noise, but that's a different story.

    20” Induction disaster

    I was going to get something similar (Ala) to prepare for the inevitable, but I read the exclusion list and they don't cover matt finishes or weirdly cracked /buckled alloys! The one you posted quoted me £350. I would love to hear of a successful repair on the inductions before paying for...

    Q2 Collections - new owners thread

    Yes, the turning circle is terrible for the size of the car. I ended up setting my steering to sports as I found it way too sensitive for my liking - even on the inductions!

    I'm not a detailer by trade but I do love to give my cars a good treatment. Lunar had her first once over today. I didn't feel it needed a machine polish after the clay bar, but I have to say the carbon build up was astonishing for a brand new car. I also found a nice stone chip on the front...

    Same phone as me and mine works flawlessly. Was a little buggy at pick up, but was told that was due to the connectivity around Southampton docks. As soon as I arrived home it worked as intended. Have you tried a 2 button reset?

    My situation was similar, especially with the EDD dates being June, but I paid and left the money in the account and didn't request a refund. In my case this certainly helped as when I spoke to the advisor he said and quote "why are you waiting 3 months if you're already paid up" - the...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I am so glad I was able to help others by finding out about the hidden "list" and congrats on everyone who's been successful in getting an allocation! Curious to know if they changed the apr on the changed spec or if they honored the rate and just increased the price for the wheels?

    Mine must have been wiped with a dry rag by the looks of the marks leftover, and the inside had a few residue marks which should come out - I was planning on giving it a deep clean (clay bar and possibly machine polish) over the weekend (weather permitting). I didn't bother mentioning it to...

    I turned up at my appointment time (2pm) due to work commitments, but they weren't busy at all - I was the only customer and hadn't seen anyone else turn up for the 30/45 mins while I was setting up the car! I doubt turning up early would be an issue. I wish I was, but when I asked about the...

    Picked up my model Y from Southampton today. Weirdly I was the only one there but I saw loads of Ys on loads of transporters! I did over hear them say a red y had rear bumper damage and they needed to let the customer know. My condolences to whoever that is as that would royally suck.

    Couple of years ago I e-signed, and then had to sign again onsite to confirm delivery on pick up. This time round, I've been told to sign onsite today due to the quick turn around in them finding me a car.

    Follow up - I've had the text with the reg and pick up scheduled for Monday at Southampton! Original EDD met after all and seems I can finally get off this roller-coaster journey. Anyone else in a similar situation, I'd say it is certainly worth a shot to let them know you can be flexible and...

    So I'd like to chime in here with my recent experience. My EDD just changed to 25-30 June from Aug - Oct. I spoke with Tesla to see if there was any chance of collecting this q (any cancellation etc) as I had already paid up my pcp deposit when my EDD was June and had sold my car privately so...

    I just text them back asking if they would give me the car sooner if I buy the hitch 😂 I'm sure they'll push my order back even further (even without me adding the hitch) just for sh*t and giggles.

    On my PCP back in 2020, I did not receive a 'final invoice'. I had the bank details on my account page for TFS. I made payment when I was allocated a car and didn't need to send in proof of purchase as it showed my balance as paid. I took a copy just in case I was asked for it on pick up. I was...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I'm not convinced it makes any difference. My experience was opposite to you, I had a trade in originally but also had an end of June delivery edd. I sold the car privately and removed the trade-in (to facilitate the end of june edd) and at the time the edd remained the same. I now have the Aug...

    I called them to remove mine, but I hadn't accepted the offer at that stage. I'd imagine sending them an email and perhaps following it up with a call should do the trick :)

    Just as an fyi, when I had my model 3, the vin of the 3 was showing using the api link not the Ys. Sucks how you now need to find 3k while having to also wait through no fault of your own.

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    Nope no aggro at all - except getting potential buyers to wait for us to get back from our holiday, as then it was only a week or 2 from my then edd! Felt bad in doing this as potential buyers were having to wait a month or so in pick up but I genuinely had no intention of selling until the new...

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    This is exactly what happened to me. I was not even thinking of selling my beloved TM3, but the trade-in price made it a no-brainer and i ordered a TMY on the back of it. When I got my trade-in price confirmed - the deductions for the wheels and alloys made me look to sell privately as I had an...

    I was able to 'save' the quote without the reg, and just update them with it once I had it - This was with Churchill.The policy wouldn't be able to start without it of course, but if you do it in advance you should have a window in which to supply it to them.
