Sorry dude but AP1 would not have done most of these any better. I could easily make an almost exact same video with AP1 cuts.

Thanks for the video... I don't think that was too bad, I would never have used AP1 on a road like that so the fact that AP2 even offers and doesn't do a half bad job is a good sign.

"Production Complete Your Model S is in transit from the factory."

So, please tell me, what would you do if you were visiting your elderly parents who live in a remote village and only have a 13 amp outlet?

Alan, I posted in that thread, but at the time that thread was started we were told we could still purchase the UMC but it would be extra, fine I said, I want one. Now I'm told the UMC will not be available.

Have just heard from my Tesla rep that the UMC will NOT be available for UK cars, at least not at launch, I've no idea what they're thinking.. here's a clip from the email: Which means when my Model S is delivered I will HAVE to have a Type 2 outlet in my garage and I will have no other...

Bjørns Tesla Model S #2: 375 km/233 mi on a single charge in Norwegian winter - YouTube

Update.. looks like mine is now being built.

Yup, same here, my VIN is 35709 and mine still shows "sourcing parts", I was told June delivery (I'm abroad at the moment but due to return in June, I have already sold my previous car in anticipation of delivery).

I'm planning to fully utilize our 3-phase supply and get one of these (22 kW) installed: Products - EV-Box bv

Ditto.

That's not the point is it.. driving to a charging station, sitting with your car for an hour while it charges is far less convenient than simply "trickle charging" from a 13A socket while visiting friends / relatives.

Yes I got the same pitch, and I agree you're just not going to find blue outlets near parking spaces, you're much more likely to find a 13A, I'll now have to buy the UMC instead of buying the type-2, no difference.

Yeah it seems a bit counterintuitive as most of us will need the UMC for those occasions when we just aren't anywhere near a Type 2 charger, or it's just more convenient to slow charge overnight (visiting relatives, etc.)

I've been told by my sales advisor this is correct.

LOL, great way to inflate the cost... (pun)

One of the first RHD UK models (probably) placed my reservation in 2009 (cash down), got to spec the car last December and have been told delivery early June, VIN 35709, specs below. P85+, Black, 21" Grey Turbine Wheels, Grey Performance Leather Seats, Carbon Fiber Interior, Tech Pack, Perf...

Thanks for all the responses, that's exactly what I'm intending to do, replace the two existing meters with one three phase and having a three phase supply to the garage for a type-2 22kw charger. Will update this thread with progress. PS. The house is an 1880's Victorian Villa, 4500 sqft, no...

@matbl surely the incoming current supply should be far, far more than 3 x 16A ???

I think it's likely.. first portion of the VIN including restraint system is the same as mine (and mine is a UK car), it's also a 2014 "P" (production) model. So likely the first, or one of the first UK cars.

Thanks Kevin! These look good, combined with the Tesla type 2 cable I think I'd be set.

You can pinch to zoom :p I'm surprised it's a "reach" though, no offence, but you must have REALLY short arms.

Cool! Great news... I'm RHD 1,309 ahead of this VIN, fingers crossed for the summer...

Yeah I guessed that may be the case... need to speak to Southern Electric I think.

Wow @arg.. thanks for the amazing amount of information. Getting a 3-phase 22 kW like the one you linked should be my target, I haven't had a site survey yet but here's what's on the wall in my cellar (which is adjacent to the garage), I believe currently only two phases are in use (the two...

I put a deposit down in Q3 2009, specced last December, est. delivery early June. VIN 35709

Thanks @Alan, fingers crossed.

Hi, I placed my reservation back in 2009 so I'll be one of the first Model S in the UK, delivery expected early June. I have specced 22 kW dual chargers (future proofing). I've been told the only options available to UK owners (for now) is the blue 230V/32A (IEC 60309) single-phase outlet...

Well, I did put my deposit down in 2009 :)

Says "We have begun sourcing parts for your Model S."

@jontracey - hope not, we're only back in the UK for a few months then off again :( VIN seq. 35709

I'm number 20 in the UK, placed my reservation in August 2009 (P118). Confirmed specs last December and have been told "Early June", Performance 85.

Hey GSP, thanks very much, will make these amendments.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, it's a completely brand new site and it's my first car review.. hope you liked it. However it's not my first site or first review... http://www.dpreview.com/misc/about.asp (I'm no longer working full time on dpreview, zemotoring is my new baby) -- Phil Askey

Sorry I should probably add that I'm in Singapore and this is a RHD model, I got to drive it (one of the first in Singapore) briefly a couple of weekends ago... http://www.flickr.com/photos/zemotoring/

Hi guys, Next week I've got a Roadster Sport 2.5 for a day, I've got to review it for a website article. I'll be taking lots of pictures and driving for as much of the day as possible. I wanted to know if any owners / prospective owners have any suggestions on things I should include in the...

Did he call it a hybrid? Oh dear...
