What a horrible and unlucky thing to happen to you. Best wishes for a speedy and painless repair.

Had the same thought but I thought it looked fresher! I’m happy with the update in general and the gear bongs. Looking forward to my first Tesla Zoom…

I bought some of this for my Y - Xtremeauto Matt Black Wheel Touch... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BB6X131K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It’s not perfect but you have to look hard to notice the rash, I’m looking upon it as a stopgap between an annual refurb…

Presumably this could be overcome by only showing when there are, say, 10 or more Teslas in any given area.

I had a proper barney with the Birmingham SC who in consecutive texts told me that ‘they needed my car all day’ but that ‘I didn’t qualify for a loaner as my warranty repair was under three hours’. It had also taken weeks for the appointment to take place due to it being pushed back pending...

Whilst I’ve been quite lucky in being able to avoid travelling on the two major peak days, it is annoying that all superchargers at Exeter services appear to be out of action, which would be my obvious target for charging heading up from Plymouth to Bromsgrove. Is everyone else seeing this? On...

Yolanda (first female name beginning with Y I could think of)

Mine was Danish, confused the life out of me for the first few hours! 😂

Hilariously, this thing is still for sale nearly three months on. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225180554057?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xSEIWWYBRbu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=uKGaPwGmSsu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I particularly like that the listing says ‘if you need finance...

I swapped a Golf R for my Tesla, experience is exactly the same, theoretically slightly slower but feels quicker! Glad it’s not just my imagination, and this is without acceleration boost…

Graduated today, meet Yolanda! Turned up to NEC about an hour early, no queue or issue with me having turned up so early. Not very clearly signed so I went round the houses a bit, YMMV if you’re more observant than me. The staff there were very good, polished off some residual marks from...

What’s that old 80s blue thing next to the old beemer? She’s a beaut, looks like an old Datsun or something…

It was a guy calling from motorway, he tried to backtrack a bit but I said ‘no, it’s fine as Motorway’s agent you were clear enough already!’ I was being a bit facetious but would much rather be dealing with a larger company than an individual dealer. As it happens, the buyer was Sytner so I...

Agree with that, sounds like he’s trying to cut out the fee he’d have to pay to motorway. When I sold through Motorway the adviser said they would act as conduit for any dispute between buyer and seller. I got the guy to agree (on a recorded call) that I could sue motorway in the event the...

I feel like I’m late to the party but this is fantastic! My wife was far less excited than I am, and wondered what the point of having a countdown of less than three days is. We are very different people.

What witchcraft is this?! I want a countdown timer and a picture of my theoretical Tesla on my phone! Edit: TiL about widgets in iOS.

Yep, all gone quicker than you can say ‘let’s flip it on for a quick buck!’

Massive drop of ex-demos, Ys and 3s on the Telegram channel this morning…

Sorry to hear about that scratch, as you say frustrating that a mobile ranger unit can’t deal with it. Excuse for a road trip I guess… Hadn’t thought of Cazoo - because I’m a glutton for punishment just ran the old car and indeed they would have beaten Motorway, albeit only by about £200 so I’m...

My signature tells a sad tale of EDDs past, with the finish line now finally in sight next Thursday. You may get lucky and avoid the Shanghai Covid lockdowns etc which have affected my timeline, but I wouldn’t make any life plans based on an EDD!

Sold mine with Motorway, collected yesterday. Nearly £4K more than WBAC and £3k over Tesla. It was ultimately very straightforward with no questions asked (I was honest with photos of course!) so I would very much recommend them to anyone considering trade-in. Only downside is I have to beg...

How much earlier? They were pretty reticent to me going 24 hours early on the (now expired) pretence of being affected by the train strikes…

I wonder then if it’s driver demographic. I think there’s an assumed stereotype that Tesla drivers are traffic light Grand Prix hooligans, similar to the stereotype that most Golf R sightings tend to be on Police Interceptors. My image of a guy with a Kia EV6 is definitely a lower insurance...

This. I may be wrong, but I think a common theme is overlooking the performance aspect. As posted earlier on the Y thread, swapping a Golf R Estate for a YLR had little impact on my Admiral multicar policy despite the disparity in value. Arguably performance is similar and no other...

I know it’s been covered before, but wanted to add to the insurance discussion. It’s cost me only £105 more to replace a Golf R Estate on an Admiral Multicar policy with a remaining term of about eight months. I decided not to tick the ‘tracker’ box. Appreciate I was replacing what was already...

Just a bit of intel for anyone getting finance through a third-party. My finance provider requested the invoice be raised to them (not a problem, the original one in March was) but then latterly said that they actually needed an invoice for the specific amount being financed after my deposit...

Good to know, and looking good. In case it affects anyone else, don’t forget the train strikes next week. My pickup is scheduled for Thursday 15th and now reliant on my wife’s mercy for a lift.

Ditto on the blue and veto!

This for me, plus the kids (8 and 4 YO boys) f**king loved it and wouldn’t sanction me buying anything else.

I can get on board with the first two, but that last one seems risky. What if they want to steal our VINS?! Almost certainly the case, so better to stay away.

Forza has gone up to 5.4, I got the same rate through Clydesale AF - should add this is a personal HP agreement

At least if you take her up in a mini, you’ll have a fighting chance of fitting the stuff she’ll accumulate in the MY on the return journey…

They’ll be registered as at the date of collection, so ‘72’ if collecting from 1 September onwards…

It’s impossible to say, very few pirates I have met will openly admit to being pirates in a open forum. Interesting thought though. I wonder which is more likely out of: A. Celeste having no f**king clue; B. Us (and Mr M as our noble leader) being wrong and actually the orders are effectively...

She denied your car was on it? Is there a chance she thought you are a pirate and may Shanghai the vessel?

I confirmed by following a link in the text rather than responding to it, is that an option for you?

Too add to the chorus, collection now booked for 15 September, see some of you there at the NEC! 🥳

This, if you happened to find a Land Rover made in the 60s that had never been registered, you could do so today and drive it on a ‘22’ plate

Annoyingly, Forza’s rates apparently increased this morning (by 0.5% to 5.4%). Very annoying given receipt of a VIN only last night! 😠 Does anyone know what the going rate is with Tesla at the moment? Frustrating that with hindsight Tesla have been the better option given March rates are...

Bit late to the party but VIN in source and window narrowed to 1-15 September… Have texted the SA number before getting too excited as there has been no other communication but cautiously optimistic…

Text received by me just now: “Tesla Update - You have selected third-party lending as your preferred payment option for your RN. Full payment must be made by your lender seven days in advance of your collection and no deposits can be made. Please get your broker/lender to send the invoice...

Spec of the Gods. And by Gods, I mean: ‘mortals made to wait due to their decadent choice of wheels and paint’. By rights I’m one day ahead of you, by Tesla logic it’s anyone’s guess but hope we’ll be on the same boat so to speak!

I like the fact that in the account it says they’re ‘drafting up your invoice and will contact you to arrange your final payment’ Given the length of time taken, I’m expecting a f**king spectacular invoice!

If March and July orders are on level pegging, that tells you all you need to know about the fairness of the Tesla EDD lottery.

Same spec as me, my EDD journey is in the signature, most recently moved forward a week to 27/8/22-26/9/22 but no VIN allocated. MSM paint appears to be in short supply. Frustrating as there are seemingly plenty of white and black ones and I seem to recall from my school days that mixing the...

On one hand, it has taken up far too much space on the forum. On another, the description has become even more hilarious since the above exchange and his inevitable ban...

I will see your window and raise you August 28 to September 26th. Clearly the EDD monkeys have been hard at their typewriters today. No VIN still so no change to my demeanour!

Exactly this, good customer service would be a call to say: ‘Sorry, there’s an unforeseen delay on MSM, are you happy to wait or would you consider a different colour?’. The answer for me would be yes, I’ll happily take a blue one! The reduced exclusivity of the Supercharger network is also a...

Amusing also that it mainly took place on page 666. The internet humour Gods have been strong with this feed.

Would it be possible to do a TL;DR for this? A paragraph this long is surely a breach of the Geneva convention.
