    2020 Model S TPMS

    Hi Jerry, I bought these a couple of years ago and they did the trick. You install the whole valve, and as I recall, the car picks up the signal. https://evstyling.co.uk/product/tesla-tpms/ I’m sure you can search for comparison items. Tony

    S90D when to finally let go and sell it .. before warranty runs out

    Good morning. I had a 2016 MS90 D for 6.5 years. I chose Merc EQS. It’s a large hatchback, plenty of range and a very comfortable car. Sophisticated technology but diff to Tesla UX. AutoTrader will show you plenty of examples. My wishlist included HUD and heated wheel so I chose a...

    French toll tags (e.g. ULYS and others) and Revolut / Starling and UK banks payment - HOW TO

    Travelling around Paris - East/West and charging?

    Alternative idea: From Calais go south using the A26 via Reims and Troyes. (Maybe visit one of those cities) Then cut across to Orleans using A5 & A19. Relaxing route, misses all the risks of the Paris traffic, a few extra miles but so much less stressful. Tony

    kWh to Miles

    No app, as you cannot say how many miles you have added. When you used to buy petrol you don't roll up and say "I'll have 200 miles, please" - you buy £50 or 7 gallons, or fill up to top. If you bought 7 gallons in a car that generally does 30mpg, you might get 210 miles. But it might be...

    Share experience selling used car on Motorway and Webuyanycar

    I’d recommend AutoTrader. I sold my 2016 MS last week privately. It took three weeks and I slowly lowered the price. I feel I got a fair price which was less than the car would be from a dealer, but more that WEBAC or Mway. The car wasn’t perfect, the buyers saw the odd blemish, I didn’t try...

    Registering used car in app

    I sold my Model S a few days ago. The buyers paid for the car by online transfer, I did the app invitations (invite a driver) after they had setup their apps, so they could see the car in their app. Then ran the factory reset, then I removed my access, they drove off into the sunset...

    Swapping Teslas - what to do with profile?

    I have also found this difficult to implement. Tesla has mentioned "cloud profiles" for some time, but there doesn't seem to be a way to access this from the car. Tony

    Would you buy a new Model S?

    I’m in this same boat with my 2016 MS90D with 78k miles. I’m also looking at other marques and the size of MS is a winner for me with the hatchback. Trouble is, each time I have a long journey the convenience of the SuC network is so superior, the distribution of sites, the simple aspect of...

    Lake District Charging

    Public fast charger at Ambleside, south of the village centre. However if you’re coming there from M6 it’s worth charging at Tebay on your way there, then use the car, charge overnight if your hotel has the connection, then top up at Tebay to get home. Tony.

    "Cheap" EV runaround... what would you get?

    BMW i3 Plenty of second hand examples, including range extenders, try a search on AutoTrader. Its a nippy & comfortable car for that role, larger interior than you'd expect. Rear doors are a pain in tight parking spaces, but for one driver, no problem. OTOH, those rear doors are good for...

    When to renew Octopus Go

    @Peter 224 we are in a similar situation, in our case billed for electricity but not gas. Octopus say they are not getting readings from our gas smart meter. However the Octopus app (and another app I use) show the gas usage which appears to be correct. Octopus have not yet explained this...

    Problem with start time for charging

    I have had a problem with scheduled charging set up since a few updates ago - possible since 2022.8 or maybe 2022.4 In my case the system reverts every time to "ready to depart" at say 0530. My Octopus go hours for the car are 0030 ot 0430. So I prefer to charge at 0030 for 3 or 4 hours or...

    Model Y popularity

    In late March, I had reason to drive about 1500 miles up and down the country. It was noticeable, at all superchargers, just how many 22 plate MYs there are. My anecdotal evidence - perhaps new owners are getting out and about to test their range and charging, but they are very visible. Tony

    Battery durability - long term

    My view: don't worry Search other posts over the last 8 years on this forum. Some people have troubles with a battery, but not many, and it is a guarantee that Tesla honour. My experiences may help you - My MS is over 6 years old, 70k miles, Nominal 90 battery was only ever 82kWh, and might...

    Range Rover SVR to EV but I'm torn.

    My advice - test drive and consider a low mileage Model S Performance, or P100D This site Tesla inventory search has listings which you can filter. Model S has the size and heft you will have had in the RR. Plus faster by a second to 60 than the SVR. [Plus boot to the floor costs 5p, not...

    Calculating Energy use over a Year

    You can use an app like TeslaFi to connect to the car and give you long term usage figures retrospectively. Also if cost is a concern, (nobody likes to pay more!) get Economy 7 installed or a tariff like Octopus Go. The latter has a four hour night rate of 5p per kWh. Overall, in my home...

    2020 vs 2021 M3P suspension

    Well I had a test drive in a MY LR yesterday, these must be Shanghai cars with the black trim, and I expected worse, considering some sniffy reviews having been published. I now think my 6 year old MS with air suspension is the one that is faulty, the MY was smoother, and felt faster, more...

    BMW iX Overpriced in the UK?

    I have been looking at possibles to replace my ageing MS. This weekend, the iX has piqued my interest. Coincidence. I think most of the posts in this thread are correct. BMW have gone wrong with their styling with the beaver tooth look. However Bangle cars have aged well, so perhaps what looks...

    M3P Pilot Sport 4 vs Silent

    Just a little opinion, Model S owner, now on my fourth set of tyres. Continental SportContact in various iterations have lasted about 24-26k miles on my MS. I then put on Michelin PS4 - they lasted 16-18k miles. Had a unrepairable puncture in one corner, and slow puncture in another, plus tread...

    Model S/X Refresh UK Waiting Room

    So many countries, in almost all continents use RHD, I doubt they would not make an RHD Model S/X. My concern is that I reserved a long range MS for 2022/23 some time ago at the lower price [still high], I worry that Tesla will only deliver to newer orders at the present higher price of this...

    MOT - "Don't come here again"!

    I’ve had MoT with Cleevely in Cheltenham so they know their onions. Also had one locally in a small place. I planned to go for a coffee and leave them to it, but the car is so different the guy needed my presence/input to complete the test. Even putting on the headlights is difficult if you...

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Tesla Recall [MS & MX MCU 1 failures]

    Still seeking clarity. So if I upgrade from MCU1 to MCU2 we lose the radio functionality. But if recall process replaces the 8Mb card with a 64Gb one, the processor is the same, will speed/function of the screen improve? will radio FM/DAB continue to work? I would be very unhappy to lose...

    Tesla Recall [MS & MX MCU 1 failures]

    Can Tesla UK increase new car cost on existing order?

    @bighevs I had this happen to me years ago, an inflationary rise was made by the manufacturer, not a new improved model, we had a signed contract, but they insisted, I walked, and bought a different [better] car. However, the car Tesla will eventually deliver will be a better newer model...

    Lexus all electric

    I had three consecutive Lexuses about 20 years ago, drove about 120,000 miles in them. As you all say, dealer service crushes Tesla, and better than anyone else - if you report a problem they are literally mortified. Maybe they employ acting coaches so the team are all amazed and horriified when...

    Tesla Recall [MS & MX MCU 1 failures]

    I think that Electrek put it very well in their article: Surely it will only cost a few dollars each car and worth it for the goodwill generated. It still is not a recall - NHSTA in USA has asked for a recall. Regards, Tony
