Tungsten filament incandescent bulbs aren't perhaps as evil as people think, resides the more pleasant light they give off (not my intention to argue the pros/cons of the blue light content rather the aesthetic quality), the heat they produce in the winter is offset by lower heating costs. So...

Hi Folks Is Type 3C still a thing in France? I bought this cable four years ago, when Superchargers were a bit sparse in France, but never actually used it. If 3C is no longer used, it could surely be adapted to CCS or Mennekes I guess? Was quite expensive when I bought it, but can't find the...

As requested by @neroden, here's a thread to discuss and bewail everything to do with Belgian tax law/rules. I'm not at all an expert, that's why I pay for an accountant, but I can tell you it's bas news, pretty much all round, the only exception being zero capital-gains tax on equities profits...

So, let's see what we've got from the "respected" news outlets... Ah yes, CNBC... Easy one here, let's bash Tesla's solar roof - no need to publish this now, but it's an easy smear, some really nice negativity being spun. Note how they don't say how much a new roof of non-Tesla tiles would have...

Hi Folks, I just got MX winter wheels fitted by Tesla Brussels yesterday. When I got home I was surprised to see that both front and back had 255/45 profile Scorpion tyres, which seems to be inconsistent with Tesla's own specification. Here's what it said on the invoice: 20" SLIPSTREAM and...

Hi Folks Anyone had these fitted? Any good? Where? Etc. Having just taken delivery of my MX with 22", I fear for my rims' lives :eek: Cheers, Dave

Took delivery of new car with the new cable, so I have 4 UMC adapters to sell: France, Italy, Denmark, UK Cost new is €90-115, I'm selling for €50 each or €150 for all four together. Each has been used a couple of times, so as-new.

Hi Folks As always, apologies for my Dutch :-) Quick question for you all - we'll be staying overnight in the Van Der Valk hotel in Melle, near Osnabrüch, DE. They told me they have a charging "socket" I can use. As I understand it, this is a standard Schuko. So then the question is whether...

Hi Folks, First of all, apologies, as I dare-say this has been discussed-to-death in other posts. However, as my NL is a bit slecht, I need your help in English... We're about to move house. In the currently house I have the Electrabel Car-Plug, which was necessary to get around the problems...

Hi Folks We'll be travelling from Belgium at the beginning of October and driving across to Somerset (Cheddar). I was just wondering how the SuC experience is there, especially as I notice the ones at Bristol are 2-stalls, so I'm guessing these are the temporary installations like we see in...

Hi Folks - I've got the habit to listen to Internet radio and the last week it has been incredibly unstable with constant interruptions, even when I have a full 3G signal. I'm wondering if this might be related to v6.1 or just a coincidence, has anyone else experienced issues? Cheers, Dave

UPDATE (now working)... Tesla iPhone app down this morning, or is it just me? Fortunately it's not below zero, so no scarping of ice… Can't connect though, keeps saying 'wrong password' - also Visible Tesla. I assume server-side issues... Update: App appears to be working again

Hi Folks I need to go to Germany on Friday - Sank Goarhausen to be exact - and I was planning to divert to the Wilnsdorf Supercharger both on the way and on the return trip. However, I now see that it's going to add around 90 minutes to the journey each way, which is quite an overhead. I do...

Hi Folks Yesterday, driving home from work, I saw that I had no traffic info, then I spotted that I had no 3G connection. Still the same this morning. Anyone else got this problem?? Dave

Hi Folks So yesterday we went on our first day-trip in out Model S, Brussels to Domburg - a favourite haunt for us. This is around 155 kilometres and with a full charge giving me typical 406 and 315 projected range, I figured that if I drove fairly carefully I would be OK there and back again...

Order confirmed 16th December - it a long wait for us in Europe, especially with the holidays adding to the wait. Everything is ready: finance, insurance, plates & charging. Status changed this afternoon from "In transit" to "being prepared". Marvellous!

Your frunk is open!! :redface: If anyone knows the owner, perhaps send them an SMS or something? Cheers, Dave - - - Updated - - - Problem solved - I contacted Tesla and they called the owner. Frunk now closed. Let's look after each other, brothers and sisters :cool:

Hi Folks I'm getting my Tesla and of the month and now turn my mind to the maze of charging solutions - given that Telsa fell asleep with the EU supercharger roll-out. We go quite often to Domburg in Zeeland and I'm looking for a solution to top-up the Model S while we enjoy the beach and...

Hi Folks I remember reading through a long thread on tiny, high capacity USB keys that worked well in the Model S, I searched for this, but can't find the thread... So with my MS due end March, it's time to get my audio sorted out (assuming version 6 won't fix the iPod connection issue) and...

Hi Folks I'm looking for an electrician who can firstly check my power situation at home and then do the necessary installation for charging. I don't want any fancy high power setup, just a well installed normal socket that's not going to cause the house to burn down. I'm also probably going...

Hi folks I've seen a couple of Belgian Teslas with plates starting with a 9- as opposed to the usual 1- I've Googled for this, but didn't find anything, can someone explain what the 9- represents? Cheers, Dave

Hi Folks I guess the question's in the title, but to elaborate... I'm wanting to press confirm and I'm wondering if I need the Security Package for the Tesla Insurance here in Belgium?RE When I asked at Tesla they thought not, but when I look at the quote Centraal Beheer sent me it states...

Hi Folks What's the general consensus on fitting dual chargers on NL/BE? Would it be advantageous in your opinion, or more a waste of money? By this, is there an infrastructure in place that the Tesla could take advantage of? Cheers, Dave

Hi Folks Annoying Englishman here... About to place my MS order, but I'm now hesitating. Why? Because we have the motor show here in Brussels mid January and traditionally the car manufacturers have special offers/discounts in conjunction with the show. One wonders if it's worth to wait a few...

Hi Folks I was wondering if we have any forum members living in Brussels or perhaps driving around Brussels on a regular basis? Basically I'm wondering how the car copes with the challenging road conditions: pot holes, cobbled streets and speed humps. The latter is perhaps my greatest concern...

Hi Folks I've posted a few times, but never got around to introducing myself... So I'm English and living in Brussels, Belgium, where we are blessed with the best chocolates and beers in the world, but cursed with some of the worst roads. I'm currently driving a monster truck Volvo XC90...
