So when driving in very snowy/icey conditions wouldn`t it be better to set the drive mode to "off-road assist" as I`m sure this alters the TC and torque bias to all the wheels, regen and even allows for a degree of wheel-spin etc? To my mind, a one step setting, instead of making a number of...

Mmmm.......Pays to shop arround here, I have seen quotes from acceptable £250 - £350 to the ridiculous £500 and beyond! (FYI, got `the works` done on mine ie. external paint, glass, alloy wheels, all the trim with white interior, carpets etc for a bargin £300 and should last for approx. 4 years)...

First and foremost............good qualtiy ceramic/nano paint/body treatment (worth every penny!) From then, for me anyway, quick spray over the whole car with a good TFR (traffic film remover) correctly diluted, allow to soak for, say a couple of minutes, pressure-wash off, towel off (or some...

I have a Mid September 2022 MY-LR and try as I might can NOT get ANY custom light-shows to work, as of todays date 22/11/22 (the pre-loaded 2021 xmas L-show works every time) I have, believe me, tried every permitation of formatting, flash-drives, re-naming, only using glovebox usb port (with...

Nope, bright and a little overcast, but an overnight fog had recently cleared away. I religiously, almost daily, wipe away all overnight wetness from all windows, and mirrors/cameras before I drive anywhere (as long as its not raining of course!) As this is a first time thing and winter weather...

Here`s a weird one, for me anyway. Haven`t used my MYLR for a couple of days, left on my drive showing 240mls range on the screen and nothing showing as switched-on. Jumped in it this morning and noticed the central screen was open but very dark, to the point I couldn`t see the reversing camera...

Defo sideways on white cap guy, but, rapidly heading towards baldy-head guy.....🦲🙃

HA, problem with that is if I was to put on some White Jeans, trainers, bomber jacket and T shirt........nobody would see me sitting in my car when cruising........can`t be doing with that eh! 😇🤣

They very much are hard wearing and I`ve also had them `treated` along with the carpets when at the detailers. But being as I`ve parted with my White Jeans ;) some time ago now, I just didn`t want to push my luck at the mo` FYI, I do have a selection of suitable `cleaners` should the need arise 😬

Anyone thought about chipping-in with a verdict on the White Premium Interior Seats (My Spec) Personally I find them very Supportive, look great and very comfortable (great for a bad back!) Not to disimilar, me thinks, from my last cars, exalted, seats Volvo XC40. Just have to be aware of the...

Goes something like "wax-on, wax-off, wax-on etc" grasshopper (I know, different movie) :rolleyes:

Ahhh, child labour, smelly-nose thinners, acrylic too......who said put your mask on! cough :oops: Simonize HARD wax I trust, non of this mamby-pamby liquid/creamy stuff! Thank the Automotive Techies for ceranic coating 🙏 Unfortunately the kids grow-up and move away, the grandkids on the other...

I`ve always been of the opinion that say 10 - 12 year olds are just the right size to stuff into all those hard-to-reach, inaccessible areas for that perfect clean! 🤣

Yep, no probs with those 2 bits...........so how to get them to you? Glasgow sure is a long way from me in Leamington Spa!

Thats how mine started out, but kept tripping over the hose/s! I see you have a black car, so perhaps wise to use a blower (non-contact) FYI, one of the reasons I stick to white car/s........BTW, ceramic coating REALLY helps there, never had an issue with scratch-marks, ever. 😌

How much of the number plate mounting do you need? (comes in 3 sections)

So "spotless water" then?.........Is that what I know as DI (de-ironised) or DM (de-mineralised) water? 🤓 If so, I`ve successfully been using my, sorry, `DI Water`, hospital quality filter plant, that I made about 3 years ago with superb results! I can honestly say that I have not used any...

I`m of the same idea badge-wise, after installing AB I simply added a single black line under my newly applied/replaced metal `Dual Motor` badge just to hint that the car is a bit different! (was thinking of doing the line in EV green but decided to keep with the overall white/black O/E theme...

Didn`t feel as if I had the right, dry and dust-free conditions to apply my Zirconite nano coating myself so I enlisted the talents of my detailer contact Chris, near Banbury, Oxon (Heritage Detailing Centre) He gave the car the full monty, Exterior, interior trim (white) carpets, wheels and...

Mmmm............Shiny! I do like a good ceramic coating.........wouldn`t be without it now :cool:

FYI, Both of these cables I pre-purchased from the Tesla Store, fairly early on in my MY order date, spurred-on, partly, by all the, mainly US negative posts, about not getting these cables with Q3 cars and their seemingly constant `out-of-stock` status in the Tesla Store! Happily I did get both...

I have a spare set of (2) original Tesla charging lead/connecters if anyone has a need, both brand spanking new and unused. (see pic) #1 - In Black Bag - Mobile Connecter (so called Grany-Charger) complete with 3-pin UK plug adapter = Tesla Shop price (+out-of-stock) £180.00 will take £160.00...

Collected mine from B`Ham NEC on the 22nd of this month...........V5 arrived today 30th. So I have duly completed my registration plate transfer stuff on-line and now wait for the e-mail to confirm that I can now display my personal plate! :cool:

The rear screen wiper, in our cars, is pretty much irrelivant and would be sooo ugly! If you need to reverse/see behind, just tap the camera-lens icon on the lower part of your screen and you get a loverly (fish-eye lens) no dribbley view behind and as mentioned the air-flow takes care of any...

Silly question this, but, have you actually checked to see IF that screw has penetrated the tyre? (it didn`t look deflated in the pic) The shoulder is by far the thickest part of the tyre tread and I, for one, have `got away` with it on a number of occasions 😇 You can but try! (ps, if it does...

FYI, make sure they have or you take your own jack-pads, just in case! Just saying 🤨

Thanks......yes I did make it. Thinking outside-the-box and based on the ridiculous prices being asked in the States, $300.00+ for dedicated units, I did a bit of re-purposing and put together all the parts needed for under £150.00 ( including buying and shipping from the US a H/D coated steel...

Tesla MODEL Y Rear Lid Trunk Emblem T Badge MATTE BLACK Logo OEM Upgrade | eBay Try this one? The Chinese/E-Bay company I used back in 4th June 2022 appear not to be there anymore (lexgo_parts2019) but this US comp. seem to do the same spec metal/ABS logos.

A bit of sun today so its........accessory fit time :D FYI, all in the "best possible (personal) taste" of course! 😏 Plenty of pics (10 max) for your perusal. FYI, ALL the lettering and badges on these cars is chrome-plated plastic, which, to me, is really odd for a `chrome-delete` model...

So today`s the day 🥰 up with the lark, leisurely brekky and a mosey up to the B`ham NEC Tesla collection hub. Found gate 3 then onto Hall 16 (Like a hangar covered in white fabric/plastic!) well lit and dry. 3 desks in use for check-in with only 2 people collecting (including us) Smooth and...

I rest my case 🤨 and yes I specificaly asked this question with about 4ish insurers with the same negative responce, yes its a mod/upgrade, yes they all seemed to know what the Acceleration Boost is and yes an addition on your premium cost. Apparently its not a mod if it was installed by the...

At last, many thanks for the definitive `important-stuff-included` information, good to know. One other item.......carpet mats, they there too?

Nice comparative observations here (M3 - MY) and thanks for the "DON`T download the software update tip"....duly noted and will wait till I get home! As for the Acceleration Boost........you going to add this onto your insurance, as it is a chargable option. I was told in no uncertain terms by...

Mmmmm, really. The multitude of forum, club and u-tube `advice` I`ve taken onboard suggests that NO charging leads come with our new cars! To that end I`ve been buying, when available, from the Tesla Store, the UMC (granny) charger and the type-2 (blue) lead (to use in non-tethered type...

OOOOK......just humour me here, what the frig is a`Black Charger` when its at home? My Tesla wallcharger is WHITE my UMC (granny) charger is SILVER/BLACK all with black cables and my (Have-to-buy direct from Tesla) type-2 charging lead/cable is BLUE. So is this something else to buy? :rolleyes:

I`m pretty sure this is now called an `Emergency Kit` (plasters/bandages/dressings/emergency triangle etc) and is included with your new car, though, I stand to be corrected if req`d 🤔

Absolutely bang-on.....I wouldn`t let a dealer PDI unit within 20 mtrs of my car, for anything, at any time. I`ll collect my car, with or without any MINOR imperfections, bring it home, look at it LOTS, take pics of it LOTS, sit inside and play/tweak LOTS and go to bed happy 🥰 Then in the...

Happy days :p Just now, got my MY`s full registration text BK72 ***. Insurance paid-for (Docs on the way) Just hoping its a `Little Gem` on collection-day (won`t fret, too much, if it isn`t........it`ll be delt-with for sure!) Last task is to get the vehicles V5c docs, on the day I believe, to...

Based on the various `unsure` LV tracker threads/posts over the last couple of days and as I stated previously, I launched on to the LV= site this morning and got myself an up-to-date quote using the YES answer to a Tracker being fitted question and it went through ok to the "here`s your quote"...

So as and when we get a diffinitive yes or no from the `horses mouth` tomorrow say, we can all make that informed decision if need be!

Mmmm interesting, so just out of interest, I`m going to re-submit my form aswell using the YES answer to the tracker.....we`ll see? 🤨 Then again.........we ALL need a clearer LV definition of precisely if the Tesla tracking app. system matches THEIR insurance requirements, NO?

Yes I agree we all know that we can all see where your Tesla is in the app.......BUT this is NOT what they are asking for on the application form, it clearly states "....a subscription-paid tracking device" Methinks IF they found out you said YES to this question it just gives them yet another...

Now I`m gobsmacked! LV was the only company who flatly refused to insure my MY LR for one reason only, because it "doesn`t have a subscription-paid TRACKER fitted" and that was quoted just a few hours ago, today! :mad:

Cheers Bud! Thanks, I`m cool with that :)

Great!.... another job completed, my stubbon wall charger now shows to be working after a very long chat with the `Tesla Charging Support Team` (HAMID) from Holland, but he`s German and covers the EURO based charging issues. nice man, very nice man! Now for those-in-the-know (or not)......Got a...

Ditto.........things are moving just a bit quickish now! 22nd NEC @ 11.30am (three options for me 22, 23 & 24th) Now if I can just get my wall charger to behave I`ll be all set 🤬

BUT, potentionally, A wonderfull Christmas present 🎁 to go visiting everyone in!

Greetings, one of the Yorkshire clan? So sorry to here that, Q4, really! :( As you can see from my post got my VIN `today` so well pleased and just a smidge stunned......time for a large glass of wine, me thinks! 🍷Just need that collection date now.
