Insurers will be looking to replace your loss. If the top retail for a comparable model is £21k, and they have offered you £21k - what's the issue? Apart from wanting another £7k...

Interest rates are a thing

It's a painful rate, for sure. But with base rate over 5%, it's not going to be cheap unless they look to discount it or absorb some of that finance cost as they are doing for the MY. I wonder with sluggish sales, once we get through launch phase, if they might roll out the deals. prob worth...

Sure, I was referring to that too, just ended up quoting your post. Agree with you, it an odd insult.

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/how-much-horsepower-in-the-p3d-at-the-crank.190652/#post-4629561 Good old thread discussing this!

Bizarre comment. Not a fanboy here but may well order one. I doubt they are adjusting the HP between countries, how would that translate into the same acceleration times? The motors from EU certification are front 158 kw and rear 303 kw - this translates to 618bhp but is not reported as such...

Take car abroad and just assume Tesla will sort it all out in the case of any problem? I do think that's an unreasonable assumption, but of course everyone will have a different opinion. Personally I took 5 mins to check the Tesla policy and purchased Euro Breakdown cover myself, but each to...

Eco Cars (eco-cars.net) will bid on auctions on your behalf - you tell them what you want. Some like Aston Barclay, allow private buyers to register. So, auctions are accessible, all well and good

Lots coming off lease in the auctions….

Suspension damping will be adjustable, allowing a “Ride & handling” choice between Standard and Sport settings.

No such luck but the ludicrous badge on the seat is a nice touch!

Just a summary of what is being reported out of the press event in the states

✅ Front: 235/35 R20 ✅ Rear: 275/30 R20 ✅ 20" "warp" wheels on Pirelli Pzero ✅ 600bhp+, new rear motor ✅ < 3 secs to 60? ✅ Ventilated bucket seats ✅ Ludicrous insert above headrest ✅ Carbon trim dashboard ✅ Front bumper with splitter and side vents ✅ Rear bumper with diffuser ✅ New carbon rear...

Not enough data in the OP question to respond...

Osprey chargers in Whitfield, pub car park, are good and reasonably fast 75kw. Off-peak and/or windy weather discount via Electroverse. Cheaper than the MFG's too. Discovery Park in Sandwich has Fastned, 20 min drive from Dover.

I think all of us nationwide have "lost" an hour tonight, apparently we get it back in October :cool:

Octopus calculation is not so much based as to what you can buy it and sell it back for. But what they can buy it from you for (15p), and sell it on for, during that period. As long as there's a profitable margin, it'll stay

Why would you lose out? Claim from your credit card provider.

Glad you are loving it. I really like the iPhone analogy.

What a contradictory article... Clickbait

Annoyingly Kent is an SC charging desert, when the only one is restricted access. New ones at Medway don't help East Kent either. Dover - busiest passenger port in the world, you'd think a local SC would make sense....

Points convertible to account credit (which you can withdraw as cash if in credit), without a 20% cut

Yep its been discussed in this very thread, export everything option, might need turning on via Tesla Support

Gordano is the worst in the Bristol area at 130kw and 45-55p, when Cribbs is 250kw and from 29p! just 5 miles away

My current LR goes back in May. Just got a quote for the Highland LR - 1 mo deposit, 4yrs, 10kmpa, £802 gross. Through my company - ex half the VAT, CT and Div tax, £359 net. Currently paying £265 net so +£94/month, not a bad deal given interest rates and 3 years down the line....

Anyone else still waiting for their points from the session on 2/2 ?

I'm always left wondering …. it almost doesn't matter how expensive it is, there is a strange allure of salary sacrifice, no matter what the cost for some. I recall doing a calculation for a colleague on an Audi - it actually worked out *cheaper* to lease the car personally post-tax and take...

It's a frequent complaint on here that tesla routing charges "too long" at superchargers and people find they arrive at their destinations with excess SoC (which presumably most don't want as they have destination charging available). Important presumably because of the difference between...

For the wife factor - which applies in your case it seems - I plan an ABRP trip for her and give her the charging stops... !

The nav planning goes to superchargers en-route for quick as possible top-ups, to get you to your destination with 10%. There are threads on the forum criticising the nav for when it gets to destinations at higher %, as people may not want the added charging fees of arriving to their...

Wow, £565 is a lot - how do you manage that with a 5kw discharge limit from a single PW?

73 reg M3P for £48k sounds like a bargain

I'd like to see the maths behind "making a killing" on the return from Saving Sessions versus the capital costs of the battery system....

2021 Model 3 LR with AB 34k miles, 295Wh/Mile

Could you clarify the insurers greed comment? UK motor insurers reported a loss-making Net Combined Ratio (NCR) in 2022 of 109.5%. Worst performing year in a decade.

I think even you know that depreciation doesn’t happen in a straight line

BREAKING: new cars depreciate..... AA: The average new car will have a residual value of around 40% of its new price after three years (assuming 10,000 miles/year) or in other words will have lost around 60% of its value at an average of 20% per year.

It appears on your itemised bill

Ok, and the % is measured by changes in pack voltage which changes depending on other variables, such as temperature

It is affected by the weather, as temperature is a component of the weather. When temperatures drop, the internal resistance of the battery is increased. This means that it requires more effort by the battery to charge, in turn lowering the capacity. The internal resistance of all batteries...

Yes indeed, the vehicle must remain plugged in to get the off peak slots. Unplug and they disappear...

It's this sort of stuff where an extended test drive can help settle your mind one way or the other - always find a quick blast up/down the road is never enough and hate the (usually legacy) manufacturers who think it is

I wasn't mounting a "defence", merely communicating my own real world experience that I couldn't replicate the concerns discussed. I also never said it was "impossible", "driving wrong", or "very rare" so not sure who this is directed at in your quoted response to me.

With your right hand down, is your left hand available to press the button? (the button will be near the top of the steering wheel)

The dynamic charging schedule is not fixed, it's dynamic, so it could have changed overnight. If it did then it would be off peak, they don't bump you onto peak rate without you doing it

And can be easily achieved on any normal roundabout, because you're not normally exiting with the steering wheel inverted by 180 degrees. If you are, for whatever reason, then your speed will be so slow you will have time to find the button. For any everyday situation, if your hands are...

How often are you doing a tight left turn, and then a tight right turn, when you need to indicate right immediately after turning left, with your steering wheel at 180 degrees from centre? Presumably you're doing this at high speed as well as you don't have the time to centre the wheel before...

Likewise, no "stalk issue" for me. Negotiate roundabouts just fine without the steering wheel at 180 degrees inverted, struggling to find the buttons, as some seem to routinely claim will be the absolute use case...

Where do you get this from? My 3 test drive tomorrow - the T&C have it insured with a 2500 EUR excess.

Where's that? The link they sent out showed Highlands being available from the 27th.. link
