A tethered is so much more convenient

Yep, I have done exactly the same a few times there now. It's quite a walk to the main building, and feels about the same again to the toilets! Great charging spot though.

It's rated "up to" 32A. The maximum output it can actually give is set automatically by whichever adapter is plugged into it. Once charging you can adjust downwards from the maximum.

Balls, just washed, clayed and waxed the car and nipped out to sandwich shop to catch before closing. Rushed the parking 😭. Any ideas of touch up paint for the aero wheels?

I had my best run since received at end of November on Thursday. Coming back from South Coast stopped at Heathrow T5 superchargers to 95%, carried on home to Bradford at fastest legal speeds (yes there were roadworks) but I was amazed at the final result 205Wh/m. It was about 13 degrees and...

Wow nice finish! Really must give mine a clay and wax soon. Getting at the end of November was not the best time of the year to receive. Over 6000 miles already and not a drop of protection on the paint 😭. Even though it's a leased company car I still like to look after them. Getting tempted...

On the back of that I start a week fully charged, then it's superchargers for me, or even worse the Instavolt at 75p/kWh. Normally do 400-500 miles in a week. Reckon whilst the company are paying me 5p/mile I'm susidising about £160 a month 😭

Nope. I fixed mine two years ago and am paying 18p/kWh. In a couple of months that'll be the standard rate of 33p I think. Working away all week and only being at home on a weekend it's not worth me switching to a cheaper overnight rate

Yep, currently trying to get HR to sort it. Done over 3500 business miles since the theoretical change. Although officially a company can pay the previous rate for up to a month.

Yep. That's exactly our policy. They will only pay the HMRC rates for diesel, petrol and electric. Up to us to choose a vehicle from the list that fits the needed mpg etc. Although they are still only paying 5p rate for electric, but that's a different argument 😉

I'm similar, company car, but they are still paying the old AER rate of 5p 😭. I am sure that when I looked into it you cannot claim anything else back with this scenario. Will happily be wrong though!

Definitely does not have the PEN Fault Protection. In the UK installation manual there are additional pages covering the requirements.

Don't forget Tesla increased all their prices to reduce demand around May last year because the factories could not keep up and wait times were "too long". Now the production is better than ever they are dropping the price. Tesla still ramping up Berlin factory and planning yet another factory.

Biggest annoyance for me is no access to the full charge stats for lease customers 😭

Pretty much most are about 45%. My guess is a 50% charge at the factory then slow use until delivery

Ditto here, happy to have another thread . Had mine 3 weeks now but unfortunately had to work abroad for 10 days so couldn't drive it 😫. Did well at Heathrow parked up though, didn't loose much at all.

Anyone in West Yorkshire I can highly get Woodvale. The Wooldale Electrical Company – EV Installers Huddersfield | Battery Storage Installers Huddersfield. Paul is proper honest and does a fantastic quality job. Have a look at his site. Nothing in it for me, he's just genuine and does a good...

Wonder where it is installed, going to have to check mine as soon as I get back to Heathrow. Assuming my battery not flat after 11 days (resisting the temptation to open app and look!)

Ha, I hate Concur with a passion. Every update makes it harder to use and takes longer to do anything!

Cheers Dave, mine wouldn't even pay for my Wall Connector, let alone the installation 😭

Still slightly on topic, do you have to give receipts for your "fuel" to claim this with your company? In an argument at the moment with my employer who is insisting I have to put in receipts to them to claim the AER rate of 8p (although they are only currently paying 5p)? My understanding is...

On delivery mine was 44%

Haha, ok. Just seen you chose MSM..LOVE MINE!

Good news then. Glad you got sorted so quickly

RWD. 230 miles on a single charge from Hogs Back to home. WOW. Suppose I should leave this chat soon, now I have the car!

You need to look for "the clay cloth company" and try killerwax. Amazing stuff

Was that the CarWow one?

So of anyone worried that they are getting "only" the RWD and think it'll be slow. Boy it certainly isn't. Actually the 6sec 0-60 in my opinion is deceiving; it gets so much quicker 30-60. Done my first long run today. Bradford to Littlehampton, 25 minute top up at Newport Pagnell supercharger...

Great, thanks 👍

Heated wiper button? Where do I find that, you got picture?

Oh crap, I heard old electric is not as efficient and I'll only get 75% milage?

Whoa, never even spotted that!!

Brilliant, thank for the info. Sorry I never saw your original post 👍. Is there an official way to report this "issue" to Tesla to fix?

So used a supercharger for the first time as a test today. Noticed the price on screen (when I stopped charging) showed as £16.78 for 36kW. Price shown before charging was 35p/kWh, so should have been just over £12. Going into my account on website it shows as expected. Is it normal to have...

She's home 🤪 Driver could not get up my street with the trailer so had to go for a little walk to collect. Wife laughing as she had nipped out to post a letter and saw it before me! Everything good.

Feels like Christmas day morning. Pacing the hallway, lol. 2h into my delivery window and getting excited. Good luck to all of you collecting/receiving today.

Exactly the same arriving for me this morning. Now got an 8-12 slot for delivery. Getting excited!!

Can you supercharge with no app access? Mine arrives tomorrow morning and want a drive out! TDI Tiguan now parked up ready for collection on Monday 🤣

Ouch. Looks like washed with a dirty cloth?

Yep. Understood 😊

Brilliant Danzr, thanks for the explanation. I obviously misunderstood stuff I'd previously read. I'll be able to find out myself in 6 days!

I think the disabling of the TACC on lane change is ridiculous. My 2018 Tiguan (for another 6 days) allows lane change without disabling it. The lane keep assistant tries to hold you in the lane unless you indicate; but either way the cruise does not disable unless you turn it off or brake.

Brilliant idea. I'll wait till I've had it delivered next week then look at changing. Thanks

Damn, don't see mine yet. Being delivered on Sat 26th. Has a Manchester number plate so I assume being delivered from here?

Out of curiosity has anyone in UK received a 2023 model yet in person?

I hope to god I have the same problems in two weeks when I get mine 🤣. As others have said, I'd keep the approximate cost to one side in another account just in case.

Yep. That's what's messing me up I think. If I purchase the charger out of my own pocket using my work email, then it'll match up with the car. BUT as I'm not the owner of the car (but the owner of the charger) can I still see the (at least) home charger stats?

So if I order with my personal Tesla account (with access to service manuals for my own curiosity) there won't be an issue with using it on my work email account?

I'm confused with how Tesla accounts work with lease cars. So my car will be registered against my company email address. I understand as it's a lease car I won't be able to access charge statistics as I won't be the legal owner. Now for charging I'm just about to order the Tesla wall charger...

Similar, just had a text for delivery on 26th November. Well happy ☺️
