    Electricians Charge too much

    Interested in what you actually do as a job so we can all ridicule your qualifications and rate of pay. Remember you have to serve a 4 year apprenticeship to be a real electrician on relatively poor wages, most electricians are on no work no pay contracts with no pensions or healthcare benefits...

    Have I done the right thing? New LR vs s/h Performance

    You and everyone on here knows the answer to your question, if you buy the performance you will always be glad you did, if you buy the LR you will always look with envy at every performance than goes past you and wish you had listened to your heart instead of being a tightwad.

    4WD doesn't mean you're invincible

    The worst feeling ever is sliding down a hill with your foot flat to the boards on the brake, last thing you think about is lifting off to try and steer. Bellend with the camera should of warned them there was a car already stuck but as usual think its a laugh at someone elses expense which...

    Model 3 performance price increase

    Every car I ever had when I didnt buy the top spec model I always regretted it every time I saw one on the road. Bought Audi tts instead of the ttrs and regretted it, bought fiesta xr2i when I really wanted the fiesta rs turbo always said to myself I wouldnt do it again, sick of spending money...

    Locking a Model 3

    Had my car almost 2 months now but just sitting thinking, if I am driving and stop to pick someone up how do i unlock the passenger door to let them in? Never had to do it yet.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    I know its personal preference but I like the white and black with the dechromed frames and door handles but the grey definitely looks nicer with the chrome but maybe I am just biased cause that's what I have! Maybe will look better with the performance wheels as opposed to the silver?

Just waiting for something to go wrong based on what everyone is saying but so far so good and can recommend 100%...

    2021 UK Model 3 Revised Headlights

    Just to compare, my previous car was Audi TTs with matrix LED which were amazing lights and far better than my M3P but on build quality my Tesla is better than my TTs and Sq5 before that, no rattles, squeeks, tyre or road noise that I feel is excessive, panel gaps and paint 100% also.

    Features we didn't know we wanted?

    360° birds eye view would be a massive difference, my company Peugeot 308sw can do it using only a single reversing camera and some trick software so Tesla could certainly make a better job of it with all the views available.

    Question for the electricians

    Depends on are your chargers 230volt input or 400volt input, I would imagine you are talking about 2x 230volt single phase chargers so normally you would pick the 2 phases with the least load connected at the moment and connect 1 to each of the remaining 2 phases with the least loads. But really...

    Lightning Surge Protection

    Surge protection devices no doubt can have a positive effect and are definately better to have than not have but I wouldnt spend £30 or whatever they cost and expect to sleep soundly through an electrical storm smug in the knowledge that my £50k+ Tesla was happily plugged into the mains and 100%...

    Hi, is it possible to have extras like the black and 19" wheels with the EST loan in Scotland, guy at my work was told they dont fund extra cost colours or optional extras? I dont know the answer but didnt sound right to me, so can you spec right up to £49,999 towbar,wheels,colour etc using loan?

    The 0-60 and the range figures are incorrect for facelift performance model on the inventory page but if you select buy on the facelift model then download the pdf spec it has the corrected range and 0-60 figures. The 2 "old" performance models arent exactly being given away at a £1700 saving...

    M3 Refresh

    Need to sack the stylists at Tesla, if you are having chrome delete then you dont put chrome wheels/wheeltrims on instead of the dark aeros, what they really need to do is have rear privacy glass as an option as I think most of us would prefer to have this factory fitted rather than film.

    CPO Model 3 experience?

    All the Model 3 inventory cars have now been taken off the website, probably as this is the 1st day of Q4 so doubt they will reappear until nearer the end of the year now, the 3k savings on new performance versions was attractive but still a bit steep really.

    First UK M3 CPO/Used to be listed

    Thought CPO cars came with a whole new 4 year warranty not the balance as it mentions on the listing? Warranty This vehicle comes with the remainder of the 4 years 50,000 miles warranty and the remainder of the 8 years 116,973 miles battery and drive warranty.

    Inventory cars

    If there are some nice changes come battery day then there is a high liklihood that all the existing inventory or demo's will be discounted at quarters end as most people will be looking at buying the new "improved" model over existing specced ones.?

    Inventory cars

    I spoke to Tesla regarding the inventory M3P cars and told anything less than 50 miles is new and either in transit or on site somewhere. The ones with mileage shown are demo cars and are still being used daily with test drives until someone puts deposit on them when they will be taken out of...

    Tesla Loan

    Yes I suppose thats the worst that can happen, think the money goes into your personal bank account well before final settlement. Other thing I was told is the duration of the EST loan must match your additional funds loan so needs to be 48 EST + 48 tesla or 72+72 etc, not sure why as EST loan...

    Tesla Loan

    I am looking to use the EST loan also and thought about this, only thing I can think is you have to demonstrate to EST how you are financing the balance so you may have to tell them you are doing it using savings and once money is in your account change it to tesla loan or pcp depending on what...
