I was quoted £148 by Tesla for the mirror and base a few months ago.

There are 100's of Teslas parked in the car parks around Brent Cross in London and my neighbour just ordered a model Y on a Saturday and it was available to collect the next working day. I suspect there are going to be some huge deals coming up to end of Q2 to get rid of all the stock they...

It's still less than I paid for my Long Range 2 years ago - so its still great value compared to its competitors.

I have only one thing to say - go to the Ombudsman. Last July we suddenly got a bill from Octopus for over £8,000 (in addition to the monthly direct debit we were paying and despite never going more than £600 in debit over winter). When I called them I was told that they had been unable to get...

I only ended up ordering the 1495594-11-A (skull cap only ) @£150 + VAT They wanted £148 for the mirror and base alone so I bought a 3rd party one on Amazon for £30 Starting to see why my insurance keeps going up by 50% every year :)

£359 for a new mirror cap and mirror from Tesla!!!

Some idiot just smashed my driver side wing mirror :( It still folds and seems to be working - but I need a new cover (white) and mirror, Do I have to go back to Tesla (which I assume won't be cheap) or is this a 3rd party supplier I can order the replacement parts for? Also, any idea what...

Well that was easy. Thanks MrLaw. I can't believe I could not work that out myself :)

I've got a few (younger) friends who insist on sending dropped pins via WhatsApp to arrange meeting spots. Is there a way to send these to my Tesla navigation instead of opening them on my iPhone and using my little phone screen to find them? On a side note, I know I'm getting old - but what os...

Yep, every time I drive into Brent Cross I can't help but notice 100's of Model Y's parked in the outer parking area (and they have been there for months now). There is a huge surplus of stock in UK and waiting times have gone from months to days. I did a count at my kid's school last week...

This is going to be a nightmare at South Mims and Brent (the only superchargers anywhere close to where I live). I can't recall ever not having to wait for a free charger at South Mims (and the non-Tesla chargers always seem to be out of order) and Brent Cross only has 2 chargers - so once this...

Wish there was a way to do it with the Key Fob

The real test is if regular passengers (who are unaware of the upgrade) notice - and I can confirm they all do. Almost every passenger has either remarked that my car seems faster or that this reminds them of my previous M3LR roller coaster-like feeling. I was disappointed with the...

I picked up my MY LR 1st September and with options I'm about £5K down or in real terms I could have got a MY Performance for same price - so annoying, but it could have gone the other way just as easily I suppose. What would be nice, would be some free super charging miles or even better...

I buy my car through a limited company, so in order to get the tax breaks I have to buy new - but I've thought about this over the last couple of years as the prices for 2nd hand Model X's have slowly come down to the point where they are very similar to buying a new M3 or MY. Over the years...

Wonder if the new suspension will be available as a retrofit? I'd gladly pay for a softer suspension

In my opinion, my car is a lot better at speedbumps and potholes than I was expecting (and better than my model 3 with 19" wheels BUT where it completely fails to feel like a £60K+ car is on smooth roads where it should have no issues. On the motorway, every little expansion gap or minor...

This is probably a stupid question, but assuming most people don't have air compressor at home - so by the time you have driven to the nearest garage with a semi reliable coin operated compressor, surely your tires are now "hot". Do we park and wait till cold or reduce the 42 to 40 or 41 to...

Personally I would not pay too much attention to the 0-60 times as most of us would not really notice the 0.4 secs you gain. The biggest difference is the 0 - 20. That is where you really notice the difference - and in my opinion is what gets the giggles from everyone in the car and still makes...

I used Motorway as well and had the same experience - £3.5K more than Tesla offered me and a very smooth, very easy experience. With so many companies nowadays (including Tesla) forgetting that customer service is still a thing, it; so refreshing to have some a lovely customer experience. Highly...

ooops., sorry. I mean Admiral don't regard.

Maybe, but the nail in the coffin was when my wife came home after her first drive in the new car and her first comment was "I much prefer this car - it does not feel like a rollercoaster ride anymore!" 5 minutes later I had ordered the acceleration boost :) I justified it to myself by telling...

I'm with Admiral and don't regard the software update as a modification as it from the manufacturer and covered by Tesla warranty.

Picked up my new Model Y (white with 20's) from Staines yesterday. All very efficient and much quieter than when we picked up the Model 3 from Thorpe Park last year (only saw 3 or 4 other customers in the whole hour we were there) Came with 53% charge and your app is activated while you are at...

Make me think what would happen if I was in a real emergency and needed help - like if I had a blowout on the motorway or my car broke down.

While Tesla customer service was never going to win any awards, it used to be possible to actually speak to a human being. I had some teething issues with my Model 3 back in early 2021 and it was never an issue to call - but recently I had an issue with a broken windscreen while far from home...

Does Tesla not still offer trade-in deals when they need new stock and need to get rid of stock? They contacted a friend of mine before the new model 2021 came out and offered him a great deal to upgrade to 2021 model. Hoping they will some deals when the Model Y is launched

I've also noticed the sound quality is so much better than normal radio or Spotify. Much more base and just "better" all round. The only issue is there are very few stations to choose from in the free version?

I've just checked and I'm still on 2019 maps. My cars is going into Park Royle Service Centre on Wednesday for a couple of new issues. Can I get them to update my software while they have the car?

I picked up my 2021 SR+ a couple of weeks ago and I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the accelaration. This is a strange thing to say as it's by far the quickest car I've ever owned (and I've had a BMW M3) but I never had a chance to test drive and I was basing my opinion on...

Fantastic and easy to understand explanation. Thanks so much

OK, so another thing I've just noticed. I charged to 100% again last night but it's only given me 240 miles. What happened to the other 38 miles I paid for? (see screenprint attached)

OK, so I charged the battery to 100% and we drove to London and back today (around 90 miles return). Regen was definitely not as strong and I used the brake a number of times on the way there but seemed much stronger on way back. One thing I did notice (not sure if it's related) but my battery...

Fantastic, Thanks, everyone. With the standard range smaller battery every bit extra helps. I'm assuming the regen would kick in fairly quickly anyway?

Got chatting to a few other Tesla owners at a supercharger today as they were interested in seeing my Chinese M3 SR+ and they said it has a new batter (LFP) and that the advice from Tesla is that LFP batteries can (and should, according to Tesla) be charged to 100% regularly, whereas the NCA...

No, don't think so. Sorry

Yep, they were attached already

Just collected mine today from Chertsey. I was nervous because I've never driven (or even been inside) an electric car - but within 5 seconds I knew I was never going back to Gas A few things I don't like or still getting used to. The glass roof is way too tinted compared to my previous Nissan...

That's a shame, but never had a heated steering wheel - so wont miss it :)

Thanks for the info. Very useful. I'll get a quote from a couple of the electricians recommended by Tesla as well. Are non-tesla chargers easier to install?

I'm picking up my SR+ on Wednesday from Chertsey. I know it's the new Chinese-made one but no-one seems to be able to confirm if it will have heated steering wheel. Any other new SR+ owners who can confirm? Also, I'm looking for a charging solution for my home and as I don't qualify for the...
