    Applying referral codes after reservation

    The idea of the referral code was to use the link to order rather than going into the stores. Sort of defeats the plan of Tesla saving the approx. £2k cost of each sale through the stores being given as a benefit to the referrer and the purchaser. Interesting that they are giving the credit...

    CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

    Got my adaptor today. Just couldn't get it to work when I tried. Hopefully will work at the next stop!

    Orange Model S

    I was in Scottsdale last May and saw a matt orange Tesla. Might well have been this one. I was thinking of going a similar route but I don't like dark interiors and feel only black interior would work. So I have the dark grey paint with light grey interior which I think will work with a matt...

    UK Finance Options

    I may be mistaken but I thought if you lease you don't get the 100% write down. I bought mine through my company. I used Troman Finance, Troman Finance - Finance and Vehicle Consultants Lawrence Culham is the guy that arranged it there.

    Official: Model S Service Plans

    I took mine to the local tyre shop, Bracknell Tyre and battery, and they did the tyre rotation. I showed them the on screen warnings and diagrams for the lifting points and all was good. In and out in no time at all!

    How to plan a road trip - how long will it take?

    I'm getting ready to drive from here in England over to Switzerland and back. Miles aren't too many, about 700 each way. Out on a Wednesday, go to the show on the Thursday, come back on Friday. At the moment, looks like only superchargers all the way although there is one stretch between...

    Supercharger time

    I'm not normally driving from supercharger to supercharger but driving all over the country and trying to detour to superchargers where possible. My real world range is in the 180-200 mark when a full charges shows as 247. If I cahrge to 80% then my real world range is 150-170 miles. Then the...

    I use the Reading supercharger almost every day, there are 4 points and only one other has ever been in use while I'm there. I think a real world range of 180-220 is realistic based on my driving. I'm up to 3,300 miles now. The roll out of supercharged and Chademo adapters is very slow for...

    Supercharger time

    Just done another full charge at Reading. Plugged in at 9.47 with a range of 30 miles and it has just finished a complete charge (100%) 247 miles at 11.42. So 1 hour 55 total. I am filling up quite a lot at the moment so will keep monitoring as my trip to Geneva next month has a number of...

    Offline Superchargers

    At Brent Cross I could only find two access roads into the car park and both were padlocked shut. I have let Tesla West Drayton know.

    Offline Superchargers

    I went to the Brent Cross Supercharger the other night (10pm) for the first time when nearly out of charge, only to find that it is probably only open during shop hours, even though it looks like the chargers are in an outdoor car park. All entrances to the car parks were padlocked shut...

    Updates to the OS for UK users

    Mine updated twice with 6.1, the second time was last night. However the second one had a patch in it so I guess for some with the first version there was a glitch.

    Wincester/Southampton Supercharger

    I used the Sainsbury's Winchester one last Monday. Desperately need to have some open on the M5, Wales and Essex as I've been struggling there but the Sainsbury's deal alluded to earlier sounds good.

    Park Inn - PCN

    I have been there about 8 times this month (just got the car) and I have had one ticket so far. I would appeal if I was you (I have, awaiting answer) as it would seem that the hotel's system may not be that reliable when you enter your reg number on the computer in reception. It is a nuisance...

    Hi, I took delivery of my model S at the beginning of this year. I plan to use it as an everyday workhorse provided I can get sufficient charge. I live within 15 miles of a supercharger at Reading, Berkshire so my starting point is good but I have been struggling with getting to some places...
