    Salary sacrifice prices

    Interested in this, got our M3P Dec 2020 via Tusker costing £810 net. Not looked lately but might might run a quote to see what it looks like now. I think Tusker have rinsed my wifes employer based on some of the costs mentioned here.

    Tesla Key third party access on lease cars [Watch for Tesla app]

    Been the case for a while. This GitHub issue is tracking it, apparently will be fixed in an upcoming app update. https://github.com/teslamotors/vehicle-command/issues/45#issuecomment-1902877382

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    Correct, and it normally does stop the charge for me except this time it didn't. I disabled charge scheduling when I moved to IO and it has been reliable. Doesn't enabling schedule charging stop the random charges that octopus may decide to do on the car during peak hours? That was a...

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    Had an instance of Octopus not stopping the charge this evening. Plugged in at 17:35 with 84% SoC, car continued to charge for 52 mins adding 4.72kWh and stopping at the target 90%. Only realised when the Tesla app notified me it had finished charging. Octopus charging schedule lists 0030-0100...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I'm fairly torn over all of this! I've got a decent Octopus Go (5p/13.96p 25p standing) rate until the end of February next year. Should I be seriously considering moving to intelligent as of now? Or as close to October as possible? I guess the idea would be to move before the next price cap...

    Yeah, I agree - sadly I was blocking the road and had no option but to try the only thing i I could think of.

    Model 3 steering failure

    Not even a heavy wheel, it would not move at all.

    Model 3 steering failure

    yeah, complete locking of the steering wheel. I couldn’t turn it in either direction. Car could go forwards and backwards but no steering whatsoever.

    Model 3 steering failure

    So had the fun of my steering dying on me during a parallel parking manoeuvre on a busy road today. I did a 2 button steering wheel reset and it came back to life and was able to complete the park. Luckily this happened 0.2 miles from Tesla Stockport. I called the emergency roadside assistance...

    Uberturbine paint code / refurb help?

    Hey all, have just curbed wheel number 2 in 6 months :confused:. I knew i'd end up gouging them once i realised they are running stretched tyres... Trying to find the paint code to just touch them in slightly for the time being, I'm struggling to find anything in the UK and that also seems to...

    The Pub - OT posts and discussions

    Wow. This sentiment sucks. He should feel shame to be happy spending £950 per month in a product that is not performing and doesn’t meet expectation? you should come to my middle class area and judge the environmentalists that ride bikes everywhere yet own multiple diesel cars. I bet you...

    Rejecting my 2020 Tesla M3P after 4 months of ownership. Sad day

    Sadly based on my current experience of Tesla service and support I’m incredibly unlikely to get another Tesla. After 4 months of ownership my wife and I were in Porsche today looking at Taycans. im up to 6 weeks so far to get a simple issue rectified on a wing mirror. This is after countless...

    Poor polishing

    I was lucky with mine, a couple of scuffs that I polished out myself. Loads of overspray on the boot after they realigned it and touched in missing paint from the boot rubbing on the bumper. Other than that it was ok, did a single stage with Scholl S20 on a honey pad. Came up really well...

    Poor polishing

    Holograms caused by poor refining during polishing. Easy to get that put straight. Wether or not Tesla entertain the idea of sorting it and or doing it to an acceptable level is up in the air.

    UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations

    I had my Tesla Wall Connector fitted this week by LJN Electrical - I'm in south Manchester. Luke did a great job, with superb comms throughout. I supplied the TWC and the GARO G8EV40PMEB that was installed, Luke supplied the rest of the kit. Charged a fair price for a 35m cable run from my...

    2020 Q4 collections: vehicle faults and snags.

    I picked up on the 22nd of Dec - attended SC on 23rd to log all the faults with the car. Was given an appointment for 14/01/21 to get everything sorted. I got a text message yesterday (13/01/21) saying my appointment was being moved out to 24/02/21 because the SC were getting an in house body...

    Tesla offers 1 year free supercharging if you buy before Dec 31st 2020

    I supercharged my lease car today and have had nothing show on my account history. Normally I see the charge and remaining credit from my referral miles.

    Both mine are inset at the rear at the same depth. I’d assume it’s normal and haven’t raised it for my January visit for the other issues.

    Tesla offers 1 year free supercharging if you buy before Dec 31st 2020

    My order was October, collected yesterday. Was told in the SC today that I qualified and would have the free charging added within the first 2 weeks of 2021.

    It’s a weird one, as I understand it - I would only get access to the app once I’d scanned a QR code and entered the VIN and my name. Essentially doing that is accepting the car?

    All weather floor mats (RHD)

    Any recommendations on all weather interior floor mats? I see that Tesla don’t do a RHD version of the mats. Would prefer a UK vendor if possible due to shipping lead times

    Yeah, I really miss mine. The wife wouldn't drive it, too many idiots trying it on on the roads. We also had an attempted break in at the start of lockdown and caught a few people on our CCTV taking pictures of the VIN in the windscreen, and cars turning up at 0300 in the morning and looking...

    Not got it yet, collect next Tuesday. Sold my M2 in october and have been in a hire car for 6 weeks. Be interested on what you reckon is best for coating the glass roof. I'm just going to do a quick decon wash and then a couple of coats of Carbon Collective Hybrid for over Christmas.

    Seat Cleaning products

    Ordered some Gyeon q2 leather shield today. Used the Gtechniq leather guard on my old car and wasn’t mega impressed. Ended up using LTT leather care protectant which was really good, but trying Gyeon product for a change.

    Seat Cleaning products

    Even if it’s vinyl / not leather I’d not use an abrasive like Cif or magic erasers. I’m hoping that Gtechniq I2 tri clean will do the trick with a soft brush and microfibre. If not I’ll step up to Koch Chemie green star at various dilutions until it’s gone, again with a brush and microfibre...

    Regen braking setting 2021 Model 3

    Is this the case with the performance model? I’d have thought regen kicking in mid corner would unsettle the car a fair bit. Maybe it’s available under some of the track mode settings? On the 2 test drives I did I did turn regen to low as it was quite a change from an ICE vehicle I found.

    Smart Pro / Pod Point requirements and replacing with TWC

    Scratch the above - just had another call from the installation company to tell me that it is £750 to get it installed, due to the fact that they cant claim the OLEV grant and non standard install. I'll revert to getting the TWC fitted by my spark in January.

    Smart Pro / Pod Point requirements and replacing with TWC

    Hey all - after ordering my car via salary sacrifice, I've been around the houses over charge points. I'd settled on a spark and the kit to be used, but was informed that as part of the terms of my SS agreement i'd get a free charger installed. After speaking with the company that would...

    Car Hop

    2018 BMW M2 to a M3P. Only thing I'm not sure about moving to the M3P is how it will be in the corners. The M2 gave so much confidence when pressing on in the right conditions. The M2 went at the end of October and I'm in a Peugeot 208 hire car which makes me incredibly sad.
