Everyone upset by car depreciation at the moment, have you checked prices on other cars? People saying it’s Tesla specific, but I wonder if it’s not just a symptom of the high interest rate market in general. It’s going to affect used car prices, too.

Might keep my eye out for a used Performance, next year. The best way to complain about new car prices is to just.. Not pay it.

100% it's worth waiting at this point. Don't forget that apparently the UK EV market has taken a dive. There's no government incentive, road tax discounts are going soon. I remember it was dead easy to book a test drive of the Highland near me, so there probably isn't that much interest. I've...

Very interesting they say they were briefed it was going to cost £56k and it's now upped to 60. Well in that case I won't be trading in just yet. Might test drive one, though. My fiancee has the old Performance Model 3, so I wouldn't mind making her envious. Hearing about the bucket seats I was...

So my partner who ordered a M3P a couple of days ago received a text to say delivery is estimated for November.

Trying not to thread necro here, but has anyone had repairs done where they’ve had a ceramic coat? Wish I’d gone for PPF on the front but here we are; I have a couple of noticeable chips on the bonnet but wondering if the ceramic will cause issues.

Was only offered 2021.44.30.11 yesterday. It would be nice if Tesla actually posted release notes. I'm pretty sure Apple got brought up on this a while back and they now offer a more verbose log.

I get the feeling that people expect boat-like SUV suspension, with a wallow-y, soggy feel. Just like every other SUV. If the MY rides like a M3, it sounds fine to me. I imagine the only decent riding SUV is something like a Porsche Macan or better.

That's dumb. I'll tell you why that's dumb; because Elon thought that we'd already have fully autonomous cars by now.

Urgh, so I can’t seem to book an MK appointment or a mobile appointment either. This is to fix a wind noise issue that they themselves created, by the way. I originally asked for some lubricant for a squeaky window and instead they replaced the seal without properly recalibrating it. A further...

I think it's important to have a degree of being sensible whilst also living life to the fullest. If a Tesla makes you happy, get one, so long as you don't have to sacrifice other essential parts of your life. I was fortunate to be able to buy my dream car and it makes me happy every time I get...

So which was the best selling? SMMT figures aren’t super clear after a quick glance.

Not entirely sure if this was the case before but post-update autosteer definitely can't handle junctions on the A5 (a dual carriage-way). Driving past them, it flips out.

My car was also offered the update a couple of hours ago. But I’ve literally just woken up. Installing now!

£1600 inc VAT, for coating inside, outside, wheels, glass, tints and a maintenance kit. Knock off £400ish to subtract the tints.

Couple of weeks later… had mine ceramic coated with crystal serum ultra and I’m soooo glad I chose red. It really turns heads. By the way, overall I love this car. It had a bit of a squeaky window so had to go to the Tesla Service Centre for a couple of days and I was given a Model S loaner...

You should probably take one out for a test drive before deciding.

Just handed over my car to the boys at Bicester Heritage for a full ceramic coat. I was very sad to see her go after having her less than a week. Certainly some nice wheels there. Saw an E-type Jag in mint condition that I imagine cost a pretty penny. I too have the squeaky windows issue. I...

That's not just an Octopus issue, British Gas is having the same problem with insane meter readings.

I also bought a ToughLeads cable with the letterbox option. 5m should be enough but I'm now wondering if I should have gone for a little extra for the utility potential.

Follow up picture at home. With my old car looking on in envy. Absolutely loving it so far. So much less stressful to drive than that horrid Astra.

Amen. The ioniq 5 is not a better built car. At all.

Yes, so you have to grab a ticket from the barrier to get in.. then take it reception when you’ve finished charging to validate it.

Very easy experience over at Thorpe Park picking up my car today! Got there about 20 minutes early and it seemed the staff were on lunch. They were accommodating, though. Car was perfect, everything included. Appeared in the app in seconds and Premium and miles were there as well. Charged to...

It's a lot quieter than my partner's mid-engine Porsche, I tell you that!

I'm pretty sure on modern housing, 2KW is fine to run through a regular socket, just watch the heat coming off it. It will get warm, there's always resistance in the wire. The sockets are rated for 240V x 13A, i.e. just over 3KW. Also the Tesla mobile charger has some fancy circuitry (maybe just...

Car collection day tomorrow! I hope it doesn’t chuck it down the entire time.

While £1500 is a lot of dosh, it’s comparitively cheap as far as performance upgrades go. I’m pretty sure it nudges the car over 500bhp equivalent. I’m going to see how I go and then perhaps get it a little down the line.

Try sitting in the back. It's tiny.

That's a farm, mate. You would know that if you ever ventured outside of London ;) In other news, I just had the courtesy call from Tesla to confirm this week.

I think the PPF decision is partially based on whether a stone chip would really bother you and how many miles you do. My dad’s had a Model 3 since 2019 without any treatment and it still looks fine, but his mileage is fairly low. Touch ups can be done by companies like Chips Away for far less...

I too, own a watch.

Ha same. That red one is almost the same.

Lovely pics, guys. The wait til Wednesday is gonna be hard. Happy to see that it looks like there's plenty of space at Thorpe Park to get the car out and take it for a mini test drive around the car park.

I’ve added the tray and pedals as suggestions for my work secret Santa wish list… unfortunately that does stop me from ordering anything ahead of time because I’m not sure what I might receive. First world problems, am I right?

Requesting pics from a Thorpe Park pickup if anyone is going there.

Is the Helios Ray fully unloaded by this point? Was curious as to how long it takes. Guessing my car is actually on the Nabucco judging by my pickup date.

So my plate starts with LB, which looks to be a London-based plate. Guessing my delivery is a week away because red doesn't seem like a common colour at all. Or I imagine my car is on the Nabucco.

That's app related.

1 week to go!

Yeah I realised how dumb it was to send that much after the fact. Second lump of money was also in the account in an hour. As long as you used your RN number for the reference, including characters RN, it should be automatic. Later I had to clear some finance and the bank decided to use their...

Send a test payment of £1 and see if it appears in a couple hours. I sent a test of £8000 haha. But it was okay.

I was being quoted 3.5k for full PPF. Too dear for me. Cheaper to just touch up issues if they arise. I opted for a full ceramic instead for 1.1k. I think making cleaning the car a much easier job is well worth it.

And adhesive. Recycling and all that.

I've been putting in half tanks for a month now.. Haha turns out I use it faster than I think.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s showing up in their system now. Excited for the 1st!

The delivery team never responds to my emails... Not sure why! It is [email protected], right?

So I payed off the remainder of my car yesterday. Annoyingly the bank would not let me choose the reference on the payment, so now I have to and chase it with Tesla. Deposit payments went through immediately. There’s always something.

Pretty sure these were in stock a few days ago.

Haha I was reading your comment and got to the part where you found everything fatiguing and thought “I bet he listens to only tubes”. Oh yep, further down, exactly right! I just think you don’t enjoy exact digital treble and like everything rolled off 😜 I do think 96kbps is far too low for...
