    2024 Insurance Costs

    March 2023 renewal with Admiral was £505, I have since added Home insurance with them. I didn't even receive a March 2024 renewal so checked my online account and they were planning to take £895 on 3 March. In the time I was hanging on to speak to them I started a comparison quote. Eventually...

    How many people are having connectivity issues?

    I reported it and was impressed with the speed of the response, a couple of weeks ago. But of course no answers other than vague third party mast issues. I drove 6 miles out and back this morning, fine all the way there but lost connectivity coming back on the other side of the same dual...

    My Airport Parking Experience

    Thanks for comments. I park at home in garage so have sentry mode auto switched off when home and I also work from home. Sentry is only usually on for short periods in car parks etc so haven't noticed drain before. The 40 degree auto cool must be factory setting as I have never set that. It is...

    My Airport Parking Experience

    I parked at Stansted long stay on 2 June, leaving the car for 2 weeks with 68% charge. I left Sentry on and set off for Greece. Whilst away I resisted the urge to wake up the car by checking temperature or charge but 8 days in on 10 June received a horrifying message that sentry had been...

    Insurance renewal in 2023

    I Think they would research that if there was a claim and it would fall into their catch all non-disclosure rules and give them a reason to void the policy.

    Insurance renewal in 2023

    I went with Admiral last year for the first time as they were cheapest and it was the first couple of weeks of Model Y. Renewal came through this morning by email, up from £439 to £664, more than 50%. Quick call to them and made a couple of changes, reducing resale value (obvs as not new now and...

    Driver Profiles with saved preferences

    Other things seem tied to profile as well, which isn't a problem. I set sentry to be off when parked on the driveway at home and it works fine after I drive home. But when my wife is out and returns home sentry stays on. Perhaps that is a navigation issue, that she doesn't have a home setting...

    [UK] Price cuts

    Ah thanks, so my car is £2k less than when I bought. Probably offset by the higher amount I got for my 4 Series convertible sold early summer, compared to now.

    [UK] Price cuts

    Looking at the website my LR Y in Red is less than £1,000 cheaper than when I bought in March, so not much of a reduction unless it had previously gone up since then. Not sure why Y LR showing as £52,990 but then as £54,080 before savings at the bottom? Also inventory for MY seems to be...

    First Long Drive - autopilot problems

    I recently did my first long drive from near to you in Essex to Salcombe, Devon. Total cost was £53 but kept down because I used a Tesla Destinations free charge at a hotel whilst in Devon. We did have lunch there as well but they were very relaxed about us being on charge for over 2 hours...

    First Road Trip

    I have had my Model Y since March, out first EV. Since then we have done around 5,000 miles charging only via home Wallbox. That included return one day trips from our home near Brentwood, Essex to Lowestoft and Winchester, when there was no need to recharge. We have just come back from a week...

    BMW i4 - Test Drive

    I test drove the I4 before delivery of my Model Y in March, having a BMW 4 series at the time. I liked the HUD, didn't like the lack of cabin light and hated the transmission tunnel. Also hated that the BMW dealer snuck into the back seat without telling us he was coming along, the only one of...

    Selling your existing car

    In the end Motorway came good but CS was painful. I uploaded all the photos and then called and went through all the questions I had answered online. They told me one of the tyre tread photos needed to be taken again and sent me a link to do so. I sent the photo and thought since I had already...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I took delivery on March 3 which was the latest date in my 10 day period. Haven't looked at this site much since but amusing to see the same thread over August/September collection as was prevalent back in February/March. Although at that time there was the kudos of getting the first deliveries...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    It's the House of Fraser Plaza Car Park Ground Floor, no need to go to any store, just a desk in the car park! They sent me a text with what 3 words target.goals.jumped but essentially it's that car park, right by the superchargers. Not sure about timing but suspect it wouldn't be a problem, I...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Yes, as Canny said. Temporary desk with Tesla guys checking License and little else. Then sent to look for your car. Not so many red so found ours quickly although saw an identical Y one letter further on first. As they have chained off the car park to stop other shoppers parking there, we had...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Picking up same spec from Bluewater multi storey car park tomorrow. I've seen people saying faults were dealt with before they drove away but presumably a list like that will not be, especially during contactless pick up. Has anyone had faults corrected (on Model Y during the recent mass...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I got a quote for £435 from Admiral, over 60 max NCD Essex. My 4 series convertible is due for MOT soon so I thought I would get that done and possibly sell when I have got used to EV charging and weather improves to increase demand for open top. So clicked the insure 2nd car button and price...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Same order as mine from Mid November. I had text last night to pick "delivery" date (collection really) from 23 Feb to 3 March at Bluewater Kent. Hadn't seen a VIN previously but expected dates 14-28 Feb had appeared on my account.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I have one booked for 11.00 on Friday next week, 4 Feb, but am inclined to cancel. It's an hour and back on the M25 for 20 minutes. No news at all on my November order Red/Black/19 so may get a chance later at Chelmsford or I bought the missing one Y22TSL - expecting to get a 71 plate but heard...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I got Y22TSL for £250 but haven't been contacted at all so looks like I will be March and a 22 plate anyway. Perhaps in March after the special events are done, it might be possible to get them to register the private plate. But probably not.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I would definitely take Duxford, haven't been for a while and would spend some time there as well as collecting. But no invite for me anywhere yet.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    That's obviously correct. Approach being we'll make the car in the part of the world where labour costs are cheapest and then charge you the resultant delivery costs.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Yes I know I can use it but will wait and see whether I get 71 or 22. If the latter I might just resell the plate.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I bought a cheap private plate beginning Y22 on the expectation that delivery would be February. But I've had no text or VIN so looks like I will be March and may not use that plate.

    Home Charge Points Discussion and Suggestions [megathread]

    I sent an email re Model Y being added as well but have learned since that Tesla have to ask. So who knows if it ever will be added before the grant ends.

    Home Charge Points Discussion and Suggestions [megathread]

    My energy supplier is Scottish Power and I realised this week that they offer purchase and installation of the EO Mini Pro 2 for £549 and the Wallbox Pulsar Plus for £599 which (for the EO) is less than half what I had been quoted. Slightly concerned about going with an energy company and...

    Home Charge Points Discussion and Suggestions [megathread]

    Newbie question, I have Model Y on order. I have received quotes in Essex for a Zappi V2 Tethered Unit / Type 2 - 6.5m installed for £1,147 after the grant or the EO Mini Pro 2 EV for £1.050 both including labour cost £375. Does that seem expensive, most of the prices on the recommendation...

    Essex Power Cut

    Hello, newbie here, just ordered a Model Y for delivery next year sometime. There was a major power cut in South Essex on Saturday, photos of people milling about in the car parks at Lakeside after alarms were set off. Apparently major failure that also affected mobile transmitters so there...
