I'm switching to Octopus so referral link required, first to provide will be used

Yeah, that sounds more likely thinking of the symptoms of when it occurs and, in thinking about it, it does sound somewhat like a relay chattering. I'll log a service request and update the post with the results as I'm sure I won't be the only one to get the issue.

But thanks for taking the time to type 🤷‍♂️

A noise like a fan or compressor grinding/squeaking has recently been happening intermittently, recording attached. It's intermittent, but happening more frequently than not, and only occurs under the following conditions:- - car has come to a halt without applying the foot brake - car is in...

I missed this in the latest release notes, but I see that Tesla's now display all Merc's as dustbins 😂

First and very positive experience today of Tesla service at their Winchester showroom who replaced both PPF's on my MY due to air bubbles and one being misaligned, plus they realigned the rear nearside door which was a smidge out of alignment. All looking very good now. Text progress updates...

Are Octopus accepting switches at the moment? I want to do the same to get the best deal on charging along with the integration of the Ohme Home Pro with the Tesla API, but thought they either aren't taking new customers or it's not recommended as you will not be protected by the cap prices.

You want a Tesla with AA batteries? It's coming! Here's a spyshot of the latest Tesla battery development:

I won't change to the 20's as best ride comfort is the most important factor to me. I do admit though that black wheels (especially on my choice of white/white) look better in my opinion. I also cannot bring myself to pay the ridiculous price for Rimetrix's with UK shipping, so are waiting on...

I test drove a MY at Guildford today. It was on 20" wheels (mine will be White/White/19"'s) and expected worse from the ride quality, so pleasantly surprised as I was prepared to consider cancelling the order if not good, and hopefully my spec with 19's will ride marginally better. Acceleration...

Thanks, that's useful. Especially deciding to stay with the 19's, as smoothness of ride is definitely important to me. I currently drive a Merc E-class estate with Airmatic and found the Model3 I tested to be acceptable, though clearly not as smooth a ride. If it is known for certain that the MY...

I'd be interested to know what you changed after the test drive, i.e. did you change the config or choose another model entirely? I'm test driving the MY next Wednesday at Guildford. Was it only a 20 minute allocated time?

Be aware you cannot duplicate your NCD to a further vehicle unless this is OK'd by the insurance co, e.g. if you have built up NCD on a single vehicle and then wish to insure a second vehicle you should only claim any introductory discount on the second. You could find any future claim is refused!

I've been sitting on a quote for an Ohme Home Pro EV charger install from a national installer in the hope that the Model Y would be added to the OZEV eligible list and glad to see that it was added today. Hopefully the quote can be updated to include the £350 grant and installation can still...

1% this tax year then 2% for forthcoming years

Normally, you are probably right but it's more complicated than that (I'm in a business partnership). It's all related to claiming the car against capital allowance, maximising use of all partners personal tax allowances by taking a pension lump sum drawdown for any unused allowance etc. and...

Yes, I am sure that you can, though I'm clearly not sure of all aspects of how you document it on your tax return. The key point is that however it is done, once you claim the 100% capital allowance, which is based on when you make the bulk payment not when you take delivery, the car becomes a...

You are right that using the terminology "Company car" is very likely wrong, but the article you have linked clearly states: "If you’re using the actual cost method you can also claim capital allowances on the business proportion of the cost of the car." Therefore it is my understanding that...

Thanks. That's a much more useful post! I estimate that my business use will be approx 50% of the value so, using rough figures on a £56k model Y, I can claim £28k off my profit for the year. As it's a small part time business this will mean that we would have a small business loss for the...

Thanks, that's a really helpful contribution! If you have a reason then share it.

100% yes what? I stated two options

I won't go into all my questions on the first post, apart from saying I'm in a business partnership (not a Ltd Co) and cash purchasing a MY . I've spoken to 3 IFAs/Accountants and had 3 different answers of how to interpret HMRC guidelines and process on the partnership and my tax returns. If...

I have a MY on order at status "drafting your contract" with just the £100 paid. As it's going to be bought in cash and put through the accounts of my business as a capital asset I'd prefer to get it after 6th April, so in 22/23 tax year. Do I contact Tesla now and ask them to delay my...
