On mine it gets sloppy after about 6-8 months. I have a "stack" of replacement originals. I ordered 2 spare but Tesla EMEA shop sent me a bunch of wrong items and then replaced them - during replacement they resent the another 2 spares by mistake - but never collected the extras despite being...

Yes very frustrating. I got a "rental" on the insurance - a Cupra FTormentor but the ONLY good thing I can say about that is it has Apple CarPlay... The rest of the car is "Form over function" - The engine is reasonably ok enough but everything else is just frustrating. Gearbox is sluggish...

nope - garage reported car ready last week - I disagreed and refused delivery. Insurance say they have 2 tries to get it right - so now waiting for 2nd try. Just a suggestion if anyone has to send their cars off for repair - it helps if you do a COMPLETE photo/video session of the car's...

I first got the older Tesla Wall charger - then upgraded to the WiFi version - and then replaced them with a Zappi with WiFi. Tesla's charge scheduler / software is just stupid. WiFi did not bring any benefits. I like the Zappi charger a lot more.

Highway code... Rule 66 You should be considerate of the needs of other road users when riding in groups. You can ride two abreast and it can be safer to do so, particularly in larger groups or when accompanying children or less experienced riders. Be aware of drivers behind you and allow them...

Just an update on availability of used X's in RHD :) At the announcement Autotrader listed about 69 used tesla X's for sale in the UK. Today it is down to 40. Anyone looking for the ONLY 2021 (Feb 21) Tesla X Perf. Lud with "full" autopilot I've seen in the UK - let me know - send me a PM. We...

Apart from that the statistics are based on Average prices. In many EU countries prices change every 1/2 hour based on consumption patterns and availability. So the statistics might not reflect the TRUE price people are actually paying - but usually the average price weighted equally across...

The reason the UK is "behind" is due to the way price cycles work here. If Nat Gas price drops - then it takes 3 to 6 months to "revert" into the UK consumer bills due to the price points set by the Government. Many other countries change price daily or monthly. On the positive side it then...

I have one of the absolute last built pre facelift X's from '21... Guess it is valuable now... :)

According to my garage most parts have arrived. But I was supposed to get the car 2 days ago but they have again delayed it another week. But after talking to multiple people wanting a Tesla I can now say with pride that I have prevented at least 5 Tesla purchases. I know I should wait until...

Nope - I switched our business to MacOs and Linux ... :) Windows 10 became so ad infested it was impossible to use. Windows 11 is even worse. And on notebooks - the first 20 minutes of each startup is max battery drain as all Microsoft telemetry software scan the computer, AV scan the...

Both Zoom and any MS product are now mainly spyware. I have an old iPad I run both from. I would not let any of their products only anything with my personal details on.

In my opinion - if anyone thinks Red Dot is a real award for any accomplishment - they need help from professionals :) - it is just a silly marketing "award" with no relation to product quality. Red Dot is only equal to "It looks ok from a distance"

So far I think the Rear Left panel is on the way with a delivery date after easter - but Garage came back and said "Ohh we forgot we don't have the tailgate inner lining yet - and not ETA on that" (That is despite Garage saying earlier we have all parts bar Rear Left Panel) Car return ETA (for...

I miss my old Mercedes GLK500 birdseye view. It is so much easier to use than the crappy tesla cameras - and crappy reverse guide lines that are not related to car turn radius, but just plugged randomly on the screen for effect.

The rules are made such that they do not need to keep stock - just supply stock within a reasonable timeframe. It does not say it has to be next day deliverable. And the regulations don't deal with price increases on the parts. That is why each subsequent run of parts get price bumped until...

hmm - yes but dependent on WHEN last year - last year was in the middle of covid and transport crisis. Apart from that the 330D has been out of production for 4 years now? So most parts would normally come for "3rd party" providers or "whenever" BMW have factory time. Once out of production -...

And todays call from Garage: Garage: Great news - we have an ETA for the missing part - (Almost End of April) Me: uhh - ok - so that mens car might be ready for end of April? Garage: Yes we think so Me: ok so this was the last missing part - are you 100% certain no other parts are missing...

Car chargers points in old cars can reach 15.5v - so don't worry. Anything that plugs into a "Cigarette lighter socket" should be fine up to about 17v.

The overall problem is if spare parts are not available - you will start having problems even getting your Tesla insured. Which insurance company want to take the risk of having to provide cover for months and months due to lack of parts? If Tesla can't make enough parts - they need to open up...

Mine is an '21 X last one pre-facelift. So should be same parts for rear left fender as the last 4 years...

My UK X has been in for repair since mid dec '22 - and they are missing the rear left fender - no ETA on the part. But I'll get rid of the Tesla once repaired - no point in supporting a company that does not support its own clients with spare-parts within a reasonable timeframe.

Ok decision made - X got to go once repaired. I'll take a crewcut price-wise but sorry - won't deal with a company that can't supply spare-parts.

@Sixer - who did you call? I'm seriously considering changing away from Tesla to another brand due to spare part availability. We are not talking something with microchips. We are talking a left side panel for a car that just should be on the shelves. But Tesla logistics in EU seem to be...

To the people with LuxPower - could you try and put an AC amp meter on the grid and double check? Or if built in display updates fast enough - use that - it would be really nice to add another potential Inverter. A few inverter installations I have debugged - the owners had not noticed apart...

No that is just switching time - not ramp up/down time. Most will start to provide power very fast - but ramp up power delivery over time - or ramp down over time. So ask the installers in writing this question: "If I turn on a XX kW load - will the inverter be able to delivery full power...

RS400 is nice :) I had a Feva for a while but wanted something slightly more stable for Brighton with keel for the family to learn. So I've put in an offer on a First 27SE. So it can be nice and stable for family and a racer for me when I want to. :) As far as I remember the boot on my x...

Hi, I dented my X in the snow in Dec - and sadly it was rear left corner so tailgate and left rear fender. The insurance appointed repair company is having huge issues getting the rear left fender. They have waited for it with NO ETA since Dec - so 3 months. Anybody else have issues getting...

Victron + Pylontech ... Difference is inverter is close to realtime reaction where at least the Growatt can take 30-60+ seconds to "respond" to load changes... (Meaning 30-60s+ of grid consumption when adding load - and inadvertently 30-60s+ of EXPORT when you remove the load) So far I only...

How big boats do you tow? If my X was back from repair - I'd be happy to pop by (Im in BN2) I've put in an offer on a boat with trailer (dinghy on steroids.. 27') /k

Hmm, think I'm staying off the update for now. My better half is a traditionalist - so changing the UI so much will freak her out. Apart from that not having seat heat available on the lower menu is a certain "I'll get a lot of things added to my honey-do list" if I update.

For East Sussex area I went with OhmEnergy - nice and neat installation - and at a reasonable price compared to many of the cowboy's who I got quotes from. They replaced my entire consumer unit "modern" 16 slot RCBO unit (my choice) + got Tesla charger installed (latest) - so incl. tests and...

Anyone who can recommend installer in Brighton area - Gen 3 wall + maybe PowerWall(s)? So far the people I have spoken to either very expensive or do not have any idea about how PowerWall works (I have an EE background so the usual "green dribble talk around the subject" does not go far with...

Thanks for all the referrals. :) But as I can relate to Roy's Homer - he got my referral this time.

Anyone who can PM me a referral code? Just switching now so only days to go :) /kaz
