I would have zero confidence in an electric car if it wasn't a Tesla. I go on rock climbing trips to the Peak District / Derbyshire / Dorset, and more often than not it is a day trip from London during the summer months (300 miles-ish return). If there aren't any superchargers in the motorway...

Will try this next (I'm with Direct Line). Probably worth it if I'm going on a week-long holiday somewhere, but not for sharing the load on an ad hoc trip.

Yep, that's the response a few of the companies gave, otherwise it was just "No, can't offer you a quote right now.".

Has anyone tried lending their mate their Tesla and used one of the hourly car insurance providers, e.g. Cuvva, or Veygo (from Admiral)? Basically my friend tried a bunch of these on my TM3 LR over the weekend and all of them refused to quote / rejected. Not sure if previous threads have...

I think we do occasionally wave... not that easy to clock though if not going slowly and trying to dodge other people!

Got my first wave today. A gorgeous blue Model S waved at me in N4 London. Waved back slightly late as I was taken aback by how good it looked in the sun.

"Taking it for a drive in the rain, dear, I just want to see if it leaks. It probably won't, but you never know."

It's deeply irritating that we enjoy the technological proposition (in particular, the looks, the performance, software, and the Supercharger network), but we have no choice other than Tesla at this point. It's as if the iPhone came out, was buggy as hell, but there wasn't an Android operating...

In short, life happened. To be more fair to myself I only missed the paint defects on the day of delivery, and not other minor issues listed above (door and charging port alignments), and then I missed the ceramic coat people missing the paint defects. :( In terms of my bother-o-meter, the...

*Shrugs* Being slightly facetious in any event. People should forgive a bit of scepticism on the part of new people dipping their toes with Tesla anyway. IMHO that's the right attitude to take when buying a new consumer product that doesn't have proper competitors. Yes the products are...

Gah. Well, I learn something new about the car every day!

So, today I drove from London and into the Chilterns...and a few things happened. 1. The rear licence plate, which was stuck on with adhesive to the (rattling) licence plate holder, fell off somewhere on the M1. It had fallen off whilst we were parked near a village pub, and I suppose the hot...

Here's my ceramic coated lady (+ centre console PPF + vinyl plate), just collected from Azuri today... still deciding on a name for her!

Am definitely brave enough... but I'm not sure what I'd do then, wiggle it back into alignment? Ah, I think I'll let Tesla deal with it.

Pay £1k and wait a day. Hopefully, on the day after, when you look at the balance owed on your reservation page on the Tesla website, you'll see that they've applied £1k to your balance. I paid the PCP deposit in two instalments, £10k, followed by £1k the day after, as I couldn't be arsed to...

Just spotted this, a day after collection (how did i miss it?!). I assume this is a definitely a service centre job, not something I can fix on my own?

Being on (relatively) the right side of privilege and only being in my thirties I do have to catch myself whenever I say "I worked hard, I deserve this...". A significant part of what I have is due to family background, the industry I choose to work in, etc. Comparison is the thief of joy...

Just adding my collection experience from Dartford today to this thread. Model 3 LR with 19 inch wheels in red. Arrived at 9.45am for a 10.30am appointment (by Uber from Ebbsfleet International train station). Went into the reception room, checked in by scanning my QR code using my phone at...

Don't worry fellow north Londoner, I'll wave at you when I get mine.

Luck of the draw due to spec, as the others mentioned. Ordered on 7 Aug and got the delivery text on 12 Aug, giving options for pick-up on 9, 10 or 11 Sep. M3LR in red, 19 inch wheels. I'm probably the best case scenario?

Likewise, no words... I'm collecting my M3LR in two weeks and I'm at 80% excitement and 20% regret (potentially rising). I'm hoping the situation here is the worst case scenario and a one-off.

Thanks - it's gorgeous! Will look into these guys.

Are you able to recommend your detailer? Am currently thinking of doing the same, i.e. collect and (assuming no issues) drive immediately to a detailer. Many thanks!

Thanks for this, it’s very helpful - I’m preparing myself for a really stressful day when I collect (at Dartford).

Thanks! Yeah you're right, it's not too long a drive. Will consider this shop.

Hi all I'm reading up on ceramic coating, and this website (Tesla Ceramic Coatings Explained) only has one recommendation for my part of town (north London)! Does anyone have any other north London recommendations for getting a ceramic coating installed? Not sure I see any relevant historic...

Hi all New here - just wanted to share that I put in an order for a red M3LR with 19" wheels on 7 August, and got a delivery confirmation via text moments ago. Picking up 11 September. Hilariously fast or hilarious lucky?
