As well, the settlement value is based on KBB and some other source (the average of)..so the value compared to what it'd actually cost to get a similar used one is about 8k less. So no matter what I end up losing about 8k plus costs of import w/ the full settlement value. Annoying when the...

The only way for me to get an estimate is to send it to mainland (costs about 2-2.5k each way). I haven't yet signed the offer so I could just take the buyout and let them keep the car. I figured from the looks of it that the damage was minimal but I did see that 48k case before which worries me.

It was about 28 mph give or take with braking. Yeah coolant leak. How big a deal is that in and of itself? The body work should be easy, it'd be the air bags, coolant, sensors and bumper fix..I gather like 15-20k damages?

No, just airbag deployment causing the issue. I am based in Cayman so I'd have to ship the thing over to Miami and get repaired and ship back. Hence one of the big reasons they're just going to write it off. The risk is that I won't know the actual extent of damage until it arrives. From...

They're willing to settle full amount less 15k and I get to keep the car and repair myself. So essentially, I pay 15k for the car as it is.

We got in an accident (not at fault) and the insurance company is writing it off as wrecked and offering us a salvage value of 15k for this P85D. To me the damage doesn't look extensive but the air bags were deployed in the front which is a big pain and the sensors at the front would cost a...

Much appreciate all the advice. I am now in talks with my rep for a UK buy back and purchase of an American version. It seems like it won't be an issue but the hold up was VAT issues re Malta registration. can you pm me the price they offered? I know it might be asking much

Hi Guys, I purchased a UK RHD version of the Tesla about a year ago for use in Malta and am on an epic 3 month long road trip all throughout Europe and am ending in the UK where I will try to sell it as I am moving to a North American environment (Cayman Islands). I was wondering if anyone...

Hi GSP, No, it's an EU model. Though we are Canadian citizens we reside in Europe at the moment.

Neat. I am also Canadian and will be in Munich for 6 days with our Tesla, we're doing a 3 month road trip across Europe. It's a big one, we left from Malta and will go as far north as the Swedish Lapland (and everywhere in between of course). We'll be just outside of Munich from today until the...

I thought the board might be interested in following my family three-month road trip from Malta all the way through Europe and up to northern Sweden and onwards to the UK. We've embarked already and you can follow here Travels and Trades | Documenting my life filled with lots of traveling and...

made it and it works! We are charging for our final leg (100km) to the malta ferry. Success

Hi everyone, I've made it to Cefalu! The trip was flawless except for the ferry situation. it was pretty awful and stressful boarding and departing. Communication was a huge issue. I have 300km range and am planning to charge at the hera station at ikea with the enel card I obtained (thanks...

Hi Fredag, Thank you for the informative post. I'll be reviewing it tomorrow heavily. i was able to obtain an enel card and will be able to charge easily in Sicily. My main Sicily concern now is as low stress drive as possible to get to the final ferry in pozzallo. I have to spend one night...

Hi Guys, I have slight anxiety about the Palermo-Pozzallo leg which is 311 km. Should I be concerned? I'd have a full charge but there are no planned opportunities for me to charge in Sicily. I have no real world driving experience in the Tesla so I am trying to be somewhat conservative.

Hi Edi and Keezje, Thank you for the information. What is the method to obtain an Enel card now? That would be fantastic as I would/could make many trips through Italy. Is it possible to get before my Trip on Tuesday? I appreciate the advice a lot. I was considering a direct route through...

Hi Everyone, I'll be doing a road trip in the Tesla from Tilburg to Malta with my nearly 5 year old daughter. It might be a bit challenging/ambitious but worth it :) Here is the start of my blog. We depart Aug 24th and pick up the Tesla on the 26th. We'll be posting lots of updates and...

pvh: Thank you for the information. Much appreciated. How did you get the ENEL card? I will be doing a lot of trips up from Malta and would love to have access to one.

Basing it off what another Tesla driver posted on the charge map (Said he used it Aug 7 without a problem).

Thanks for this. I've ordered a family card from Ikea so Genoa Ikea should solve the problem. I might just drive the Tesla down from Tilburg to Genoa and use all the superchargers on route. Would be a fun road trip.

Hi Raffy, Thank you! I will often be travelling through Italy/Sicily in the future. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try posting there.

Hi there.. Duplicate post on suggestion: Hi there, I would be incredibly grateful if I could get some advice from my fellow EU Tesla fans. I am picking up my Tesla in Tilburg and bringing it to Malta. I will be auto railing it to Allesandria and would need to charge it somewhere around Genoa...

On list to pick up my RHD Tesla S in August for use in Malta. A little risky but can ferry it over to Milan easily via Genoa if required. Very unlikely, but anyone else in Malta looking at doing the same?
