    Just had test drive... wow

    It’s still relatively peanuts charging at home compared to a GTR - 5p a mile v probably 25p. Slashing your fuel bill 4/5 is great, wanting the last 1/5 with the inconvenience to yourself and potentially others is less so. If no one is queuing then why not, but I’d be frustrated if I was 300...

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    It could be the same neural network approach he uses for auto wipers and EAP - it kind of works but you also get some wild behaviou. Either way, hundreds of cars are appearing

    100D vs 85D Range

    As ambition says, the 100D is more like 25% more capacity but slightly heavier

    Pricing And true Market Value Opinion Needed

    I wonder why too. In US I'm now listing 176 New inventory MS cars and in the UK 180 - thats a fair bit of inventory and thats just what I've found. But given they make about 2k cars a week, its not that much in the overall scheme of things. What I don't understand is why its so hard to shift...

    What happened to the improved browser?

    Because Tesla have a europe wide roaming contract which is originating in NL so all internet traffic appears to originate from there. If you car was from 2015 before the 4g/LTE came along you'd appear to in Spain as the 3g cars have a different contract.

    What happened to the improved browser?

    Google maps shows traffic issues I guess it just doesn't notify you

    What happened to the improved browser?

    Trslawaze is a nice idea but doesn’t cut it, the fresh rate is sadly far too slow.

    High CPO prices?

    There are over 150 new inventory MS cars available, it’s just very few people list them all. Tesla are just manipulating the market, they also took 100 CPO cars off line over night a short while back, I don’t think anyone really thinks they sold them all. They’ll still exist somewhere. The only...

    Tesla "Barclays/Lloyds" PCP Finance Question....

    I suggest you talk to Tesla before assuming it’s easy to defer delivery, it can be done but if it’s months they may not want to. Also, why defer to Aug? New reg comes out in Sept.

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    I have my own CPO and new inventory site. I’ve been tracking uk cars for a year, US cars only for a couple of weeks but it does include both new and used CPO. CPO can be more erratic, prices can go up and down by quite large amounts almost as if someone typed in an incorrect figure.

    Tesla New Inventory Models

    It looks like Tesla is relisting/making available large scale volumes of inventory in the UK (we've nearly 200 new inventory cars whereas yesterday we have maybe 30). The US may be doing the same, or will be soon..

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    I’m thinking of selling my car, I might get back more than I paid and in a few months I’ll be able to buy one similar cheaper when stock floods back onto the market, all with fresh warranties That’s not what Tesla intended I’m sure.

    Maybe I'll get Lucky

    Glad you’re ok, get checked out if in any doubt. I’d be buying a new Merc given it saved you! On the Tesla front, I know new inventory is low, but have you checked in case anything might be suitable?

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    Yes, its happened before in various ways. It might be a few weeks until Q1 is new sales are done but nobody really knows.

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    Taking used stock off the market hurts the bank balance but improves the new car sales volumes. Why buy new when you can save $$$$ on used especially as there is little on a P100D that's not on a P90D from 2 years ago. Hold the used market up with low inventory ad high prices and it looks...

    Why I’m Tesla’s #1 and/or Biggest Fan

    You start with saying you sell safety when you have no sizzle then you say Tesla is the safest car bar none? And whats wrong with safety - Musk wants them to be twice as safe. Tesla headlights are the worst I've known in 15 years - they're marginally not safe. Because they wouldn't put a water...

    CPO Experience

    The problem is with the car - if you'd not bought from Tesla you'd have the same problems, at least with a CPO car from Tesla, despite your issues with paper work, you're going to eventually get what you should have. The only time the CPO experience and premium isn't worth it is if the car is...

    Why I’m Tesla’s #1 and/or Biggest Fan

    I love it when people just disagree but have nothing to counter it with. @whitex has got it right - the cars are far from state of the art in other areas. Take the Nav - its a 10 year old Nav system superimposed on a google map to make it look contemporary - no ability to chose between...

    Why I’m Tesla’s #1 and/or Biggest Fan

    Good point - laser headlights that adapt and change their range and illumination pattern as you drive are available on BMW and Audi but the bmw system is light years (no pun intended) ahead of everyone elses. Being able to see in the dark is much more a benefit than being fast to 60 And what...

    . At least one of the inventory tracking web sites has over 20 75Ds listed.

    What’s it got...

    Preheated cabin is heating the air, it would take a while for the wheel to warm up as well. Its lovely thing to hold but given premium pack is into the thousands you wouldn't buy it just for that

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    I've just noticed a UK car that has been relisted 10k higher than the price its been at for 4 months and not sold. There's no way its going to sell at the new price, all it can do is encourage the unwary to buy a new car as superficially they're only a few k more than a 3 year old car...

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    They are (or were) trimming $100-$300 off new inventory cars which are no longer current models, I see it less on the older cars. As an example this is how they reduced the price on a new inventory 90D Facelift - in a month they dropped it by 3.5k but in lots of small chunks - no idea why they...

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    Tesla are trying to manipulate the market - they have massively reduced the availability of used stock to give the impression of both strong prices and short demand. In the UK they removed 140 cars over night - not just from the listings which is a common thing, but the detailed car entries that...

    Struggling to decide on which Model S CPO to go for...

    The various CPO sites mean you can search at home and take your time. They have differing amounts of stock listed on them, usually at least the same amount as Tesla display online, sometimes more. An advisor may have more stock they can show you, but then you need to take their time as they...

    Looking for an "inexpensive" used Model S

    Take a look here to see the timeline of features and changes. It certainly sounds like you don’t have the tech pack, it would also be worth check super charging is enabled. Model S - Options by Year - Tesla Motors Club Wiki

    P85D Pricing

    I think you can get this with both private sales and from Tesla - the peace of mind with Tesla is they’ll usually remedy the problems. Here in the uk, and I can only imagine this is a global problem unless we’re ultra fussy, new cars are having extensive body work and paint correction work on...

    Tesla New Inventory Models

    Maybe a price drop is due which is why they’re not publically listing them, or Tesla are doing limited discounting? Third option is a spec change and something is now bundled in as std. As an aside, is the price before the credit more useful than after the credit?

    Tesla New Inventory Models

    I can only see 12, all MS 75Ds, 10 built 2018, 2 built 2017 So there are a few cars but they’re hard to find.

    P85D Pricing

    Some of the P prices have gone back up, maybe reversing the drop?

    About to order a 75D - sanity check my spec pls ?

    I think they recognise that as they were asking for experienced owners to come along to the events. With the best will in the world a lot of questions about living with the car are generic EV questions. Personally 8 think they should offer something to potential owners before buying as there are...

    Does anyone have shares in Tesla Inc?

    And everyone who followed fashion was buying bitcoins before christmas If you see something that doing really well, you're usually already too late!

    Does anyone have shares in Tesla Inc?

    No, I already have £80k+ invested in the company. It’s sitting outside my house. Investing because you think it’s the future needs to be balanced with the fact that the price already reflects much of that future. None of the fundamentals like turnover, production volume, profit, etc point to a...

    P85D Pricing

    Not always, I can’t help with US stock, but UK stock has often been available for a long time by Tesla before they have a clear out. I tried to buy my car from Tesla only to be offered a low part ex and told I couldn’t see the car until after I’d bought it so I walked away. A month later I saw...

    P90D - What battery versions should I avoid?

    But then a P85D has little advantage over an 85D above 40mph and the performance of a P85D especially with Ludicrous, is down compared to the P90D equivalent. Tesla have, after pressure, seemingly decided not to protect the P90D and so we have that performance back. There's also only a few K...

    P90D - What battery versions should I avoid?

    Plenty of P90DL but that’s not the same as Ludicrous +

    No inventory cars available at all - S, X or 3

    Nope. The plus suspension was only on the P85+ as far as I know, I’ve no come across it on anything else.

    No inventory cars available at all - S, X or 3

    New inventory is often available but not visible on the top level web site. I've only just started looking at the US market but in the UK which I've been doing for nearly a year Tesla only say that about 2x 2018 cars are available, yet I've found and list over 40. If that applied in the US then...

    75D Ludicrous or Insane Mode - How much would you pay for it?

    Because a 75D has a lower voltage battery and to get the same or even similar power would require more current, and if it could deliver more current then the others could deliver more current and given their higher voltage would deliver more power and be faster still.. It's really that simple...

    75D Ludicrous or Insane Mode - How much would you pay for it?

    The cars, certainly on the Ds, have never really been limited by the motors, it’s always been the battery except in one case and that’s launch where you want to send more of the available power to the rear motor as that’s where the grip is. That’s why the the P85D is quicker to 60 than a 85D but...

    75D Ludicrous or Insane Mode - How much would you pay for it?

    I was under the impression uncorking was effectively a 75D ludy, letting you use more of the higher current output. The performance differences being down to lower voltage on the 75 and smaller rear motor against the P models Tesla missed a trick not charging for it as the 100D, on paper at...

    Is Tesla offering destination chargers for work places?

    Tesla giving you free chargers to charge any car? They can be configured that way but it’s more typical that they want a split which is why they want you to have two. That way they get the moral high ground of any cars charging and a dedicated one for Tesla owners,

    Test drive Tesla CPO?

    I’ve not come across anyone test driving a used car before purchase, Tesla simply don’t. The cars supposed location is also typically a fabrication of the truth, Tesla told me this when I went to a dealer to see a car and told it was simply an allocation not a location, all the cars were in a...

    Waiting for model s...should I wait until June?

    No, AP was changed in Oct/Nov, 90kwh battery was Aug, 100kwh battery was I think announced Oct and I recall MS facelift was in the summer.

    Waiting for model s...should I wait until June?

    While the latest refresh could be argued was when the MX was launched, they've since changed the seat coverings, added folding seats, removed ventilated seat options, tweaked some interior materials Speculation, at least to me, is more linked to the MS, the interior of that is largely the same...

    No inventory cars available at all - S, X or 3

    It's not even usually unavailable (although that happens when a car is reserved), more often than not it's just not shown on the Tesla listing of inventory but is there all along if you know how to find it

    No inventory cars available at all - S, X or 3

    Just taking a look at the UK and about 40 new cars are now available, all 2018 builds, only 2 of which are on the Tesla site. They're out there, you just need to know where to look!
