Just covered on Electrek - Here’s how a Tesla Model S holds up almost 5 years later I have been driving my Signature 2012 Tesla Model S P85 for the past 3 months now. After my initial impression of the vehicle and Tesla’s certified pre-owned process, I’m now ready to go a little more in-depth...

The alarm is set to off and charge is 80% +. Go and try on your own Tesla if you can find some sun. Not one person can get this feature to work in the UK groups.Someone has suggested we set the units to F not C to see if that helps.....

I have this activated in my MX and thought that it was there to keep the cabin temperature down to bearable levels in the event that I had inadvertently left children or dogs in the car. However, these last few days the temperature has been up to 48c as it cooks in the sun and I have been...

I have a Bosal one - it seems to be identical to the Thule one but maybe its a brand they use in other markets. Check it out here - I think that when you go into tow mode in drivers settings then the sensors are suspended ( a bit obvious i guess ) - the wiring into the MX works perfectly. I...

@Simon.S Save your breath - I have been asking the same question since 2014. For 2 years they kept the pin on the Map showing at Supercharger "Coming Soon" in the Pease Pottage / Gatwick area. The top man knows that it is the top niggle amongst users especially as they have now got one in East...

Nothing here on MX apart from TACC which required a day in the service centre to get it started. Calibration of HW2 blah blah. The software shows that AP is turned on but no autosteer even on the straight bits of the m23/m25 just by the Service Centre so no one is sure why the error of "not...

@Discosquirrel I really hope it does the trick for you but this is exactly what my experience was. The following day i had some new error codes but still no new features. I was then told it would take 100 miles max of driving to calibrate the sensors. Nothing happened after 200 miles. Maybe...

@Discosquirrel - you are far from alone. At least 10 MX owners that i know in the various forums have the same situation as you - nowt working despite the fact we have paid for these capabilities. I pointed this out to my DS at delivery and was assured they would come alive within 100 miles max...

@DJP31 - nearly 100K and it hasn't even got TACC or AP1. These are standard features on cars that are 2 years old. The sales invoice clearly states AUTOPILOT £3881 + vat. It ain't got it.

Had my MX for a week and it the same capabilities as my MS June 2014. They should not sell as car without all the advertised and invoiced features. The promise from the DS was that AP2 etc would update the night of delivery - a week on and nowt. Any UK MX owners in the same boat ? I am about to...

Most people have opted for the BlackVue camera range but recently other brands seemed to have come into the market with new features. For a reasonable amount it seems these devices can save so much time and hassle in the event of incidents. Any advice on brands/models ? I am based near...

@GoodieGetter congratulations - how long did the hand over take? Get some pics up here. Mine is the UK but I am in Cape Town until Weds...the ache.

Porsche destination charger spotted in Cape Town.

I asked back in 2014 - was going to bring the Torklift across to the UK. They wouldn't ship it to the UK and TM confirmed that to me at that time it would make the car uninsurable - the car is not designed to have heavy weights suspended off aluminium. The Insurance companies didn't like the...

You cannot put a towbar on the MS in the EU. The frame of the car is aluminium and not designed for towing. The insurers here have decreed that the risk is too great for them and your policy will be voided if a claim is made. TM do not offer one and the aftermarket fit is deemed to void the...

AT LAST - Is this the U.K.'s first registered RHD model X ? You can tell if it's a demonstrator car because TM have taken up all of the MYX registration plates. First deliveries to customers start on Wednesday 21st dec at WD with the Signature models - other types elsewhere at the end of the week.

Grantham grounds MAY have begun. All worked now stopped until the New Year. No clues to show if this is a SC or any other operator. Rumours persist....

@Lowey007 - i had all that malarky that lead to high blood pressure with my MS order. It got delayed - then was early - then delayed but eventually came in on time but only if I paid extra for Air suspension as they had an "issue" with the supplier of traditional suspension parts. They threw in...

Snap. Just the same here - since v8 update FM has been disappointing having been rock solid for the previous 2 years. Luckily, i am in a good signal area so Tunein and Dab aren't too bad. If I want to be assured of hassle free listening on long drive I use my Iphone and the BBC Radioplayer app -...

@slammer - great to hear that you are nearly over the finishing line. How long has it taken from the "in transit" message. And don't kid me that you didn't note when that was....

Tis the season to be jolly...

@E60MKF just the same situation as you with a trade in against a new MX due in Jan. I went to Autotrader to get the quote but it came back with "cannot value this vehicle as it is either too rare or an unknown manufacturer" How did you get your value? My car is June 14 MS 85. Thanks

GB Tesla Model S - Dates This might be of interest

You can contact me for a chat - i have had a MS since June 14 and 3 more on order. PM me here or mail me at [email protected] Thanks

@GoodieGetter Congratulations ! - how long did it take to go from getting your VIN number until you got the "in Production" message ?

@E60MKF over the other UK Tesla official forum they have a VIN issued Oct 9 which will come off the line on Nov 7 so things are moving faster than 45 days.

My VIN 281** issued today - about 400 behind many of you. If you have a peek at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/199cAr1qG317t2LeSCPVyoXBSX3Ed9YzI6OwZUljPdFo/htmlview#gid=0 you will see that fastest delivery to the UK on a MS is just over 2 months. Most are just over 3 months leadtime ;-(...

@E60MKF & @GoodieGetter what date did you get your order confirmed ? seems lots of very early confirmations (mid june) still have not got VINS but others with July confirmations have theirs'....

@WannabeOwner - I think you are maybe missing the point of v2G - the idea is that you will maybe save a few hundred quid a year but the electric vehicle fleets will store surplus power onboard from renewables when they are almost free on windy/sunny days and make them available to your house and...

@Haggis when did they confirm your order ?

Lots of speculation on the move from Tesla into this area. Supercharger credits are going to be introduced with the Model 3 and it would be easy to introduce these into the existing fleet through software updates. How Tesla's pay per use 'Supercharger Credits' may work after all Tesla Energy...

Not so @cookielovers - most of the VINS issued so far are for "ordinary" 90's - no sign of any Signatures. Maybe the owners of those rare beasts do not frequent these dark halls....

@robin_ lucky you. When did you get your order confirmed ? Mine was July 8 16 and nowt yet. I think there are about 6 confirmed UK VINS unless you know better....

ps our winters have nothing on Seattle Chicago etc.....

The model s comes with standard carpet mats for free on arrival. After a few months these go all weak and pathetic and serve no great purpose. The TM moulded mats are very good if overpriced. Tesla — Model S half way down the page.

Cannot understand why no tow pack on new MS as the chassis for the X is the same. Anyways - good new is that Model X RHD production to begin Sept 1 at Fremont. Maybe a few deliveries pre Christmas ? ps Chatter about full foldable rear seats before the end of the year keep bubbling to the...

@cookielovers looking like the RHD will have autopilot 2 as they are saying the looming wiring and kit is being installed as standard on all cars as of this weekend. Maybe a call offering in October offering us an upgrade to a MX100d too? so maybe I don't want it delivered quite yet. Very happy...

Here we go again - it feels just like spring 2014 when we early adopters were gagging on every utterance from Elon about RHD shipments starting. One of the forum members was on a Fremont tour and spotted a RHD car in the parking lot there and shoved the pics up in here to make us believe that...

Nope - they are driving around Europe demonstrating it in other markets. First deliveries of LHD with EU approval status are on the boat. Deliveries starting end June. Ask Bjorn.

I have had a VIN since march ( 38XXX ) but the dashboard is still showing the dreaded "sourcing parts for your tesla" . If we are to see any deliveries before Mid June in the UK there should be a few of us showing "in production" by now. Any updates from the waiting list ?
