    Post 12/05/23 S and X announcement, LHD insurance quotes?

    Yes. I have been to see one (static only as no demonstrator available yet) and it looks great. I will probably test drive one when I can.

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    No they didn't talk to me at all... Be warned, journalists (!?) will cut and paste what people say here without any consultation or checking or permission.

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    No guarantees of course, but my understanding after speaking 'off the record' to a couple of Tesla people, is that RHDs may be available again in the future, but perhaps only after a new as-yet-unannounced factory has been built. So I'm guessing 3 years+ ?...

    Post 12/05/23 S and X announcement, LHD insurance quotes?

    To those saying it's daft to consider a LHD car costing >£100k, I sort of agree. The trouble is I find myself considering it because the only other currently available car that comes anywhere near approaching close to the performance of a MS Plaid is the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. I test drove one...

    Yeah I've arranged a Taycan test drive already, and might visit Lotus...

    Post 12/05/23 S and X announcement, LHD insurance quotes?

    So, post the sad announcement, who is buying or thinking about buying a LHD? (It's been said quite a few people have.) Has anyone got insurance quotes? I've had a look on Compare The Market and Confused today, and there is no option for Plaid; the nearest you can enter is a 2023 P100D (!) or...

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    Very true and this is the biggest issue of course. That said, I do enjoy finding empty country roads for my blats; I guess I would just have to do that even more, and accept that in other cases, some overtakes which would have been 'on' in a RHD just won't be. Safety first!

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    What can I say, simple tastes, I do love a McCrispy of an afternoon, during a countryside blat! 😁

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    I can't believe I am actually contemplating buying a litter picker and using that in a LHD Plaid for car park tickets/intercoms/McDonald's! 😂

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    Interesting comments, particularly you being underwhelmed 12pack. My thought is I'll try the Taycan Turbo S saloon to see if I am 'blown away' by the handling and performance. If I am, and enough to make up for the comparatively poor charging, software and practicality, then I might buy one. By...

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    I'm a 2018 MS 100D owner since new, a MS Plaid order holder since Oct 2021, and a long term (since 2015) tsla investor. I love the company and the cars. Which makes this all the more disappointing, it's a kick in the teeth really. First thing I did after getting the tesla email (in a slight...

    UK Plaid Deliveries

    Spoke to a Tesla guy in a showroom today. Said the factory is ready to go but that it is regulatory approval that is holding up rhd production. Seems odd. So, still 'sometime in 2024'.

    Wiki Restricted UK Supercharger sites - parking restrictions / registering / pay to park etc

    It's odd. I'm at Flimwell Park, charging. I went into the cafe, the staff there said there are no requirements all the time you are charging. It is only if you finish charging, move to another bay to park, that you would have to comply with the Pay to Park signs. So who is right? Clearly if they...

    Model S/X Refresh UK Waiting Room

    Spoke to my local Tesla place today after chasing an update on Model S Plaid order, placed in October 2021. They said 'some time in 2024', and didn't know when in 2024. Given the original estimate was 'late 2022' this is very disappointing. Given the UK is one of the largest markets - 2nd only...

    Wheel configuration settings not being stored

    You have to change the config, get out of the car, lock it, unlock it, get back in, then the car will reset and update the wheels.
