That's a very good run, you make it look very easy, I presume that wasn't your first time at Shelsy? Looks really easy in the video, straight up , quick left then right. Having competed there in a Caterham in the past it's a really tricky hill to get a good time on especially in something so...

Just to wrap this up (sort of), after a frustrating week of using the app to drive the car culminated in me in the rain with my 89 year old mum with dodgy knees waiting for 5 minutes for the app to connect (model S uses phone signal rather than the model 3 bluetooth), Tesla St Andrews Birmingham...

Thanks for the idea, tried the fob update and it says it can't detect a key even though it is placed correctly as per the diagram. I wonder if it is a sensor problem as logging in to the tesla app it takes a few seconds to wake the car up and this evening on returning to the car at a shop I was...

6 month old Model S - Tried to open it this morning and it was completely unresponsive to either key or app (but I could put on the climate and vent) Phoned Tesla, they managed to unlock remotely, tried a reset and it would now lock and unlock on the app but nothing on the keys (and I had...

I'm sure that there are loads of perfect Teslas out there, the owners of which obviously don't raise issues on forums. I am also befuddled about the almost random nature of problems (albeit that there are some more common ones that affect more people) , I had never seen any issues about wing...

Yes it is, mines £70k! sensors are ok at the moment but my drivers side mirror does not unfold when unlocking, took it in, mirror replaced, when I collected it it did exactly the same and I was told after waiting for 30 min that it was a software fault and I'd need to await a software fix to be...

Thanks for your responses and apologies for the delay in coming back to you but work has been super busy. For clarity I am in an MS 2020, as far as I can see there is no scheduled charge start in the car menu, only scheduled departure time? I have been experimenting with the charging and...

Yes. it's the Pro, I am using the app partly because I want it to charge on the off peak tarrif which is difficult to do via scheduked departure in the car

Had an EO mini pro installed a few days ago and it does not seem to want to start a new charge without me turning it off at the mains and resetting it. Obviously I'll need to speak to EO to see if there is a fault but I noticed in the instructions that there is a leaflet saying "Do you have a...

I have a problem on my 2021 MS LR that when I charge at home on a 3 pin charger, if I set the amps to 10A it defaults to 24A when I plug in which trips the RCD. I haven't had it long and not had to charge that often but it didn't do that on the 1st 2 charges only on subsequent ones. I've had...

For me, I'm glad I got mine delivered before the refresh, I want to drive a car, I can do Forza GP or whatever on my computer at home. While the interior looks a quality upgrade, there is still a question mark over the real world build quality for me.It's bad enough on a £70,000 car let alone an...

schadenfreude (def) - Sitting at Hopwood Park services charging my car when a Porsche Taycan parks sideways on across 2 chargers and starts to connect. Person seems to be having difficulties so I suggest that I wasn't aware Porsches could use the Tesla chargers? Response was "yes it can, I have...

I was a bit nervous about swapping to Octopus after reading this thread but so far it's been quite simple, I joined them 20th Dec and the smart meters started working between christmas and new year, I already had smart meters fitted although they hadn't been used by Yorkshire energy. Invited to...

Got the free trial on my MS collected on 30/12. Probably won't get a chance to really try it in the next 3 months. I'll be interested to see what the options are at the end, if it's only pay in full I won't go for it, it isn't worth it for a lease car , if it is available on a subscription I...

MOBB I don't really need the home charger at the moment, hence why I was quite relaxed about getting it fitted , however once work gets back to normal it won't be too uncommon to get home late on 20% and need it to be ready for a 300 mile trip by 5 am. There is also the issue of maximising my...

I believe there are two issues here. From a tax point of view I think that the VRD needs to be in the Company name to enable you to claim the tax advantages. From an Insurance point of view the Insurer will need to know that the car is registered to a company if you are insuring it personally...

John, thanks for the video, that's pretty much what I'm expecting. Until the WPD engineer comes round I'm not clear what the impact to my neighbours property is as well. We have a tarmac drive so there is no way that they will be able to match the existing tarmac. Had WPD phoned me a week ago I...

Phil, if you haven't heard from the delivery people yet, don't fret. I assume yours is being picked up by the delivery people from Brum so you'll normally only get a text when they have set off, for me that was only 20 min before delivery Hope it goes well

In the run up to getting my car I've got 3 quotes dating back to October, got the car yesterday and got a call today from a very nice lady from Western power Distribution advising me that they had been contacted by one of the fitters who quoted and my power supply is not fit for a home charger...

Still no idea by what route my car snuck in but it's arrived today so all good. I will continue to keep an eye on this thread as the general info is fascinating Three Cheers for Mr Miserable !!!!

Had my Model S delivered today, app isn't live yet so not sure if I've got the FSD trial (or maybe that's only for M3s). Home deivery on a trailer from Tesla Bham, all looks perfect apart from wonky rear number plate, passenger side camera and drivers side door glass seal which keeps pulling out.

Well, my Blue LR arrived todaydelivered on a flat bed to my home (UK) . Car looks great, only a couple of minor issues, rear numberplate wonky, drivers side door seal pulls itself out when I wind the window down (tried pushing it back in but still comes out), and the passenger pillar camera is...

If you think it's complicated following a model 3 you should try following a model S. I don't think that Tesla have any more clue about where their cars are than the rest of us, the whole ability to deliver thousands of cars per quarter seems to be more by luck than judgement. You would think it...

Phill, yes mine is due to be home delivered tomorrow, still keen to solve to puzzle of how the car got to the UK (obviously I won't care once I've got the car to distract me :) ) Mine is a Model S LR in blue Good luck with your delivery , hope it's before the time indicated in the colour!

As far as I am aware the charger won't come off your fuse box, it will come out of your meter box . The regulations on fuse boxes change regularly but unless it is faulty of 20/30 years old it is unlikely to be an issue (unless the property is rented out as, from this year the electrics need to...

Sea Cruiser 2 is now at Sheerness, whether that is to deliver Teslas I don't know. Is there a public CCTV that we can check? Oh who am I kidding, no one's interested. Now that you've all collected your cars, it's only us few tail end charlies still paying attention to ships :)

Well the Sea Cruiser 2 has moved..... to another part of Zeebrugge port ( and away from where I think ther normally load Teslas) With my delivery on Wednesday I think the car must be in the UK already , unless a ship leaves Zeebrugge in the next 12 hours I can't see how they can unload "prep"...

"Mine too, three texts including reg & vin so far. Plus one phone call to say mine will be delivered to Birmingham on 30th and on to me 31st between 8 & 8" No details about the route like you have just delivery to home on the 30th, mine is leased so I seem to get less info overall than owners

Naahh just red numberplates

Do they still run this between Lydd and Le Touquet? Maybe that would work :)

Tesla still seem convinced that mine is being delivered next week .......???

SEA CRUISER 2 is still at Zeebrogge and doesn't seem to be on the Sheerness arrivals? Are there actually any Teslas on the docks waiting to be loaded do we know?

AUTOSUN is due to arrive in Soton 25/12 at berth 25 and BOHEME 27/12 at Eastern Docks (R.Test) both from Zeebrugge. Either of those a possibility?

Presume there are no signs of a load of Teslas on the dock at Grimsby from the AUTOPRESTIGE which was another (outside) possibility?

Ahhh, just read the article properly it's for model 3 and Y only apparently, not for my MS:(

Methinks I need to have a chat with Tesla about deferring my 30/12 delivery to 2/1/21 ;)

I was assuming my MS due on 30th Dec was going to be on the GLOVIS SUN but know I'm just confused:confused:

Unfortunately cars are only new for a few hours. My last brand new car, on the first weekend I owned it I went to full wash, claybar and proper polish to protect it during which I found that someone had already scraped the rear bumper! Never bothered getting it repaired.

Sonix, I think that you get 1000 fre KWH supercharger credit with the car, might vary depending on the spec? Mine is a Model S LR so it also should have a years premium connectivity. Have you set up your Tesla account yet, Tesla will asign the car to your account shortly after delivery. Re...

Sonix I'm with Zenith as well delivery 30th, I ordered in october and was worried it would not be here this year however Tesla advised that Zenith had ordered from Inventory rather than custom build.Oddly my Zenith portal still estimates delivery on 10/12 Presume yours is a home delivery like...

Just used MrMs referral code for Octopus, can confirm it works for Octopus overal, not just Agile. If you click on his profile pic and start a conversation he may be kind enough to tear himself away from his satelites and share his code with you.

What suprises me is most drivers faith that less than 1 sqft of rubber contacting the road (however premium it is) will sort out whatever you do with a 2 ton lump of metal. This is particularly obvious in snow when all of the Range Rover drivers near me realise that physics beats 4 wheel drive...

Lots of cars have different tyre sizes front and rear and in practice even if you have the same tyre type on each corner they will all have subtle variations in the age of the tyre (they are often stored for a long time before sale) pressure, wear rate, impact weaknesses all of which will only...

Old n Grumpy, I've fitted a wifi extender in the garage as the car will be just beyond the range of the router indoors, one of these seems to have worked well but it all depends on how far away the car is RE450 | AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender | TP-Link United Kingdom

Blokie, small world, my wifes replacement for the stolen VW golf is a Seat Leon FR!

Me too (ex BM 335D) the reason I'm awaiting a Tesla is that mine and the wifes VW were nicked off the drive 3 months ago. Wife not keen having another BM because of that.

While I agree with a lot of the negative comments, the main dealer network is not perfect in my experience, also we tend to forget the investment that has to be paid for. VW apparently spent 33billion euros developing their EV platform, that is why an ID 3 is £33,000 rather than the sub £20,000...

Finally got the delivery text last night. 30th Dec (the first inbound communication I've had) . Model S LR. Was due mid Dec but I think the congestion at Southampton is causing a few delays

To the OP, "no" you are not the only one, although it's less about the patience I have lost than the excitement I've lost, the lack of communication, lack of expectation management. Do I really want a car that is obviously such a faff to own? From an operational point of view, how much resource...

Finally got my delivery text last night (this is in the UK) was due mid December but delivery date is now 30th December. I don't feel excited anymore, partly relieved, partly anxious amout how little attention to detail is likely with trying to force the delivery in to this quarter.
