Maybe he just left the business, got a better job elsewhere and someone else saw the job cars and marked it all off?

It would fail the MOT if the braking performance wasn’t in tolerance levels. So if the fluid was bad, it could have an impact

Stealth grey on the Highland M3 in the UK

I have a 2021 SR+ with the 5.3s 0-60 time. My V5 says 302 so I can only assume the RWD with the 5.8s times come with the 279 motor.

Cars last more than 3 years, heck they last beyond 10 years. I see cars that are 20 years old, I’m seeing Porsche 996, BMW M3 E46, E55 AMGs and I’m thinking they would be lovely to own for a few years, maybe as a keeper. And here we all are, stressing because our Tesla is turning 3 years old...

I paid for mine outright, if I sell now, it would cost me £10k per annum depreciation. If I kept it until it was 10 years old and assume a zero residual value then my annual depreciation drops to £4k per annum on average. So this is alot more palatable, assuming maintenance continues to be at a...

I could be wrong but I saw somewhere that the v4 chargers don’t contain as much copper and therefore not attractive enough to be stolen.

I prefer driving in chill mode, I can be less accurate on the one pedal driving, especially in and around London.

I would check Black Circles etc, they may have stock even though Tesla or Hankook say there are no supplies

From what I can see, we have had around 20 new sites for the past 3 years or so? Given the number of additional Tesla cars sold (and rollout to non-Tesla’s), they ought to be ramping up SUC rollouts to more than 20 p.a.

Seems like Tesla has changed their position on the brake fluid to every 4 years now.

That’s a bargain. I’ve been quoted for 2 year service: Brake callipers lubrication service £119 Wheel rotation £40 Brake fluid check £17 cabin filters £49 + VAT Total £270 I challenged them on the cost of the wheel rotation since the wheels are off for the calliper service and it’s just a...

You can Programme the steering wheel buttons as a shortcut to change the wiper speed or press the left stalk button to swipe the wipers once and this will also bring up the windscreen speed menu.

Well, apparently the LFP battery in the later SR+ and RWD cars are rated, dare I say it, 1 million miles? They are designed for longer life cycles anyway, whether it’s 1m or not, even if you half this figure, it’s still 500k miles.

Have a watch of this, I’m sure these model S cars were 30k-40k around 12-24 months ago, now struggling to make 15k in a recent BCA auction excluding fees. Tesla’s in BCA auction I assume these are falling in value faster as they approach 8 years old on the warranty

I leave the AC permanently on, even when heating up the cabin. Having said that, it’s the rear window that tends to steam up on my car and the rear demister takes ages.

Was the Ride comfort improved when Tesla removed the USS? I believe earlier Y’s got the USS so the 2022 models and 2023 Q1 got the improved suspension

I assume the FSD transfer offer has expired and it’s just the free supercharger transfer on offer or is it both?

I had something similar when I moved away from IO and then went back a few months later. It eventually worked, you just have to ignore the error message as I have an Ohme charger which controlled the charging anyway.

Good deal for those hanging onto an older S or X. It will also help alleviate the superchargers where a new model can charge in 20-30 mins whereas an older S 85 will take 60+ mins.

Check Zap Map too as I know you can filter on home chargers too

I don’t think a p90D 2016 is worth £30k privately, maybe £25k tops. All EVs have come down in value, even the Ioniq 5 with the 77kWh battery can be had for around 27-30k and they were 55k 18 months ago.

Nov-21 SR+ here with 60kwh LFP battery. Lifetime average is 210 wh/mile across 13k miles. A little concerned as my 100% charge has gone from 272 to 258 miles.

Hmmm quoting me £280 for 36 months cover……is that an annual price or for the full term?

Free supercharging? I would keep it, keep a slush fund of £1k per year for any repairs. Buying a new car will simply cost you depreciation. Even a new Lotus EV will still drop £20k in the first year.

Please post your comments on how you get on with the tyres later? 🙏

Would all models have the additional speakers? Currently the RWD doesn’t have the full suite of speakers and sub.

I wonder how many Tesla owners will move to a different car brand knowing they still have access to Tesla’s number 1 USP.

How easy would it be to simply change out the original speakers for better ones, without installing the Harness or subs? Would I notice a worthwhile improvement in sound?

Is the insurance replacement just as good? I assume there’s nothing special about the Tesla version?

I’m getting fed up of extended family, friends, down the pub etc of all the EV bashing. Well I didn’t ask their opinion or bring the conversation up.

Yes you can control under Lighting on the screen. Are you sure you haven’t accidentally pushed the left hand stalk forwards?

Similar to above 71 plate SR+ went up from £350 to £650 with renewal from Direct Line. Price comparison websites wanted 700-900 and that’s the basic cover; I noticed many of them don’t offer driving abroad anymore to keep the price “low”.

Is there still an option to have the OTA pushed through on a standard basis rather than advanced? The latter is probably more buggy

Improved range, ride comfort and potentially cheaper rubber for the 18”

There are flakey Podpoint chargers at the Railway station carpark, upper deck.

EQV at almost 3 tonnes!? Will need a 3.5t lorry licence!

Is it a black car?

Not a bad idea because when the Mrs gets to the car first and wants to drive, she’ll be jumping straight into the passenger seat 😂

yes: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275487371799?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ECXhSZdpRda&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Su1LjdU4Tsq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I definitely prefer these wheel trims then the originals. Although I have seen some originals sprayed in black.

No. I think the LFP takes up more space per Kwh so the Standard RWD vehicles have the space in the chassis to accommodate a 60kwh battery and not 75 / 82 kwh as found in the the LR and P cars.

Lots of stories of high mileage Tesla’s in the UK and internationally.

Yes just an error. Now showing as the normal 5p ish for gas.

If you’re after an M3, then do a swap with someone with a pre facelift car? Or source the chrome trim from eBay.

That’s a real bargain

Sometimes genuine used items appear in the classified or a famous auction site.

Can you place a new/inventory order and then request a trade in afterwards or does the trade in need to happen first?

Well someone must have thought they were a bargain, both now gone.

36k in red if you prefer
