    Trade in SR+ - 20% depreciation in 5 months

    This might have some logic too it. They are incentivised to sell new cars and might not have anywhere to store used ones? If you trade a non-tesla it goes to auction so no storage issues. I suspect when model Y arrives there will be loads who want to trade in. By offering a good trade in price...

    Trade in SR+ - 20% depreciation in 5 months

    Good thinking! Just went to WBAC and they quoted £35690 (they might knock a bit off for my scuffed alloys :p). That is around what I was expecting. The £32k quote was from Tesla Tradein. That's a shocking difference. I know the refresh might knock a bit off, but not £4000.

    Trade in SR+ - 20% depreciation in 5 months

    When I bought my M3 SR+ n September my intention was to trade it in for a Y in a couple of years time. Just out of curiosity I wanted to check if perhaps the M3 held its value so I could order it earlier (late 2021). Just got the trade in estimate. £32000. It's done 1400 miles (lockdown :()...

    Lucid Air - Thoughts

    Lucid air finished their factory in December on track for spring deliveries. They have a lot going for them and I hope they succeed. We need more EVs at all affordability levels. Even the ones i can't afford. CCIV to the moon :)

    Agile plunge pricing predictions

    I have been on agile since 3rd January and I managed to switch to Go today. Received confirmation. . Maybe it's 14 days cooling off period?

    Agile plunge pricing predictions

    I just swapped from Agile to Octopus Go. Took me 1 minute Looks like I can move back to Agile after 30 days. So i'll probably do that in March/April when prices go down. I'm not paying 35p during the day!

    Part Exchange Payment Not Paid

    I had the same issue back in September. It took a month to get paid the excess from my p/X. I had to contact them numerous times and each time they said "I will escalate/forward your request". I was royally p###d off and passed from pillar to post. Had to sent proof(!!) That I sold them my...

    Roof rack (where buy) and Thule compatibility

    Thanks. That's a good idea I just discovered the places where I want to take my bike has a 2m height limit so roof rack is not a option. I'm kicking myself for not ordering a towbar :( I guess I'll have to continue to put my muddy bike in the boot with seats down. Oh well.

    Roof rack (where buy) and Thule compatibility

    I'm trying to buy a roof rack for my m3. I can't seem to be able to buy it from the Tesla shop. I can add the bars to my basket but I'm unable to check out as it either times out or I get a 403 error... Anyone had similar issues? Can you buy roof racks at SC? Also, are the roof bars compatible...

    Directline won't insure car as not registered yet.

    Same here, I had to phone them to provide registration number. No issue. Also try Churchill by the way, for me they were a bit cheaper even though they are the same company

    $TSLA finally admitted to S&P 500

    I agree with Tomorrowman. 1tn USD by 2022. Tesla will be a fully vertically integrated business. Creating electricity (solar city), batteries, insurance, software subscription, manufacturing technology... The list goes on). 4tn within 10 years it's achievable. I started buying Tesla stock in...

    When will you change your Tesla?

    I bought my last month (not knowing the refresh was coming!!) I have a 72 month Tesla loan and plan to get a Y in about 3 years time once Berlin has been producing them for about a year. I have 2 young kids and in a few years we need more space If it wasn't for the kids I'd probably keep my...

    Plate fixing tip [Velcro heavy duty tape]

    As many others I don't like the plastic frames. At the same time I don't want to stick vinyl or any tape directly to the car. I was thinking to remove the plastic Tesla frame but keep the original plastic backing on the front and rear. Then use velcro directly on the existing plastic mount and...

    PCP finance early settlement

    I agree that the Tesla shares are high at the moment and it's a big short term risk, especially if you might need the money in the next few years. Tesla is a long term investment and I do honestly think over the next 10 years or so they will likely be 10x more. They are aiming for total vertical...

    PCP finance early settlement

    Buy some Tesla shares instead? (Thank you Tesla for buying me a car.....) I have a Tesla loan at 3.9%. I could settle it but I'm bettinf that over the next few years the return on shares (not just Tesla) will far outweigh the interest on the loan. I

    Tesla owes me money (Trade in more than deposit)

    The saga continues... I've now chased them more times than I can count. Every time someone replies back. Send me you bank details and I will process it. Stil NOTHING. Now they are claiming they never got the signed trade in paperwork so I have to sign it again. I love this car, but the...

    Misaligned tail light, fix or not bother?

    I've had the car for 3 weeks and I've just now seen the right side tail light is not flush. I don't think there's any leaks and we've had very heavy rain recently. The boot itself is properly aligned so it's the light fixing. Anyone else had similar issue? Worth fixing or just leave it? Or...

    Tesla owes me money (Trade in more than deposit)

    Ideally I would have increased the deposit. I applied for a Tesla loan using the expected trade in price as my deposit. The trade in turned out be worth more(!!) and since I was picking the car up two days later I didn't want to go through the whole application process again.

    Tesla owes me money (Trade in more than deposit)

    My trade in was worth more than the deposit so Tesla owes me the difference. This was all agreed in advance and the paperwork reflects it as well as where to send the money 1 week after delivery I reached out to them to chase and I had to, again, tell them where to send the money. It's now...

    77,000 Konas to be recalled due to fire risk!

    The Ford KUGA PHEV has also been recalled. 33,000 units. The Escape PHEV (US Version) has been pushed to Q1 2021. In Europe they've stopped producing the Kuga Phev alltogether until they can figure out a fix. I know, becuase I had one on order....and then I cancelled and bought a Model 3...

    Service Heathrow - do they fix on the day?

    Just to close this one out. The issue was fixed on the day. The passenger side repeater was replaced. Booked for 1500, but I got there for 1430. I went to a coffeeshop to work and picked the car up at 1700. I'm happy with that. Still annoyed that they didn't check and fix this before they sold...

    Partial paying off Tesla (black horse) financd

    Aiming for 10%. In the recent years it's been 20% (much thanks to Tesla!!) but I don't expect that to last. Just to be totally, clear, IF the house was lost (and that is a massive, big, huge if) there's still enough equity in it to buy another, MUCH smaller house or rent until the kids move out...

    Partial paying off Tesla (black horse) financd

    Agreed, and I have done that as well. And yes, I could lose the house if the market totally collapses and doesn't recover within a year. Without going into details I've calculated for most scenarios, but you are absolutely right, it COULD backfire with a sustained significant downturn in the...

    Partial paying off Tesla (black horse) financd

    If you don't need it immediately you could invest in an ISA..Maybe a few shares in Tesla?? Over time that should return to you much more than the interest rate on your loan. (not professional advice as stock market can go up and down). I took a loan through Tesla finance (not Blackhorse) over...

    Service Heathrow - do they fix on the day?

    I've got my Model 3 booked for service tomorrow as the left camera isn't working, just in a black screen. It's 5 days old! Do they diagnose and fix on the day or do they keep the car? I'm happy to wait and do it some work in the waiting area whilst they diagnose. If it can't be fixed on the...

    Order saturday, pickup tuesday? Is it a reject?

    To me it was a fair price and a tad over what I expected. The car I traded in go for around 12-13k on Autotrader and they gave me £11,500. I hate the hassle of selling cars privately and the possible comebacks so I always P/Ex even if that means 1 or 2k less. I do wonder if they offer more for...

    Order saturday, pickup tuesday? Is it a reject?

    Looks like it's the same issue. Which also means I might have got fobbed off on the day to get rid of me quickly so they can handle the issue after quarter end.... I've just logged a request, booked in for next Monday. Was it a quick fix? And if you have to leave the car do they provide a free...

    Order saturday, pickup tuesday? Is it a reject?

    Just to close the thread out (I hate it when people ask questions on forums and don't let us know the outcome). The car is now my drive! No quality issues that I could see, nor any rattling when driving panels where straight etc. Everything seemed to be in order. It also has 2 mud flaps in the...

Panels looked good, paint is fine, no lose interior etc. However....The left camera isn't working. They suspect that it will be fixed by installing the latest software update. So I'm hanging...

    Order saturday, pickup tuesday? Is it a reject?

    Thanks for everyone's responses. I'm a bit more at ease now. 3 days from order to pickup is not the norm for new cars. But I know Tesla is always pushing for quarter end sales which helps the stock price. I'm a Tesla shareholder since 2013 so in a way they are paying for my car :). Now I just...

    Order saturday, pickup tuesday? Is it a reject?

    Hello, new to the forum. I actually had a Kuga Phev on order but due to the Fire risk recall with no fix on the horizon. And total radio silence by Ford I decicded to go Full EV and ordered a Model 3 SR+ 18 inch. Roughly same price as the Kuga so a no brainer really. Finance approved quickly...
