    Model Y—Hidden Paint Cracks on Boot (A Fairly Common Issue )

    Has anyone had the same issue with paint cracks by the rear brake lights and had the issue fixed in the UK? How did they fix? By the looks, it's a fairly common issue with White Model Y's. Looking at USA forums, the SC either splodges seam sealer with a thumb across the crack, leaving it...

    Andersen EV charger support

    Attempting to pull a fast one with the administrators... It might be a £1 / month initially but then the rates will go up once they have rights to the app and customer base. Such a nominal charge to a small customer base just wouldn't be worth the hassle, especially once they paid processing...

    Andersen EV charger support

    Hopefully, one of the Andersen Developers / Directors will be smart enough to cut a deal with the Administrators to buy the rights to the App. They then could introduce a paywall to access. £25 a year subscription to customers that could afford a premium charger is nothing. Nice little side...

    Model Y insurance high?

    £708 Hastings Direct (£640 if we had two cars) / Drive / London / 12k miles / no legal (covered elsewhere) Hastings Essentials was cheaper but only 2 star defaqto rating.

    Recommended EV chargers in UK ?

    Hypervolt. Looks brilliant (with/without LEDS) Nice App 5m / 7.5m / 10m Cables options ( Great for two EVs) Pen Fault built-in ( no extra earth rod etc) Cable management is brilliant... See so many houses with other EV chargers cables dangled on the floor.

    Flip it. But first drive it for a few hundred miles and enjoy the thing. The only person benefits will be Elon if you cancel (unless you charge a premium)... make £500 profit then buyer / seller wins.

    Another Musk promise broken

    "Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin". That sounds pretty emphatic. Yet from the mouth of the world's richest person, statements should be taken with not just a pinch but a shovel of salt. The BBC expected him to keep & never sell his $billions in BTC... what exactly do you think he was...

    If a ship had ~4500 Model Y-LR and there are 20 core derivatives (paint / seat / wheels). If they did anything equal (which they don't) that's ~225 cars that could match your spec. Water those numbers down as the ship carries Model 3's Factor in order book popularity. Now get a totally inept...

    Another brick in the wall to stifle the competition, build the monopoly and increase average revenue per user/unit (arpu). 😩 The real value in building the pay wall is to unlock £2k of options for "approved used" and not for consumer to add heating steering at £15/month ... ARPU. Whilst the...

    Like Tesla .... BMW will just upgrade all the options on any returned lease vehicles. Their "Approved Used" inventory will therefore be fully optioned... (The second bite of the cherry is now much sweeter, easier to sell and more profitable). This will make it difficult for the independent...

    Car features as a service

    This product development feels like it originated from BMW Bank GmbH and not lead by BMW engineering. BMW need more of their 1990's engineering ethos. BMW are fast becoming Nokia, can't help feel the brand still is needing a iconic electric flagship.

    Leasing companies will always be a cherished partner. As they predetermine the dates, volume, and the price of second hand market. As depreciation has been factored into the lease, 3 years in advance. Just like any financial futures.

    MY tints, no one will do it! East Sussex

    It seems odd that 10 companies won't touch it... unless you are asking for something unique. Essex Tints for example do that many, they even were going to change the name to Tesla Tints! https://www.instagram.com/essextints/

    MY tints, no one will do it! East Sussex

    Doing the windscreen and having a major crash (with injury) will get the tinting company taken to court. Most won't do it if asked. Also, it will instantly invalidate your insurance. Might as well get 3rd party because they won't pay out.

    The issue is the EDD accuracy, they should only be updating EDD when ships are chartered. Elon wants to publish the twitter algorithm - I think he should be publishing the EDD calculation as well. I have had 5 EDD revisions in 2 months - it's misleading. These forums are full of speculation...

    Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]

    Elon summed it up... They don't even sell or service the cars, they leave it to the dealer franchise network. They are not interested in regional infrastructure. Just finance and manufacture.

    Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]

    Charge ports need to be (front or rear) centre on all EV's. At some point, London will need on-street charging infrastructure and there are too many one way roads to turn the car around to get the charge port nearside by the curb. Clipped wing mirrors are bad in London... Could you imagine...

    I would doubt 100% cash beats finance. Due to the extra margin they make with finance. I would imagine Tesla dream situation would be 50% cash + 50% Tesla loan @ the current 4.9% apr. Cashflow and extra £5-6k Interest

    My mate's car coming soon, which wall charger should he buy?
