First time this has happened to me, also on 2022.20.5. It tried all night but stuck @ 50%. Will try to pair with phone when somewhere with better cell coverage.

There are a lot of tesla M3s used by uber drivers in london. Most ride-hailing drivers in london won't have home charging options and places like Westfield which are fairly central with a lot of ultra-fast chargers are a good option for them. Uber has committed to having 100% electric fleet in...

This looks like a neat solution it must be wildly expensive. Whilst there are not enough lampposts to charge all cars, imo they should focus on those first (no digging, existing supply, not prone to vandalism etc, no extra equipment or street furniture required), they are a brilliant and simple...

Many thanks all for the replies, there is indeed an indicator and pins do move round c60 degrees but not enough to allow them to mate with the car socket, bit frustrating but I think it must be a manufacturing fault so have gone back to them.

Sadly its not the pins that are the issue, I physically can't push the 2 together - note the ridge on the inside of the plug is adjacent to one of the outer cutouts, whereas with the M3 socket the first ridge is at about 2 o'clock when the cut out is at 12.

March was biggest ever delivery month for Tesla in the UK - 6,585. A bit above December's. And M3 was the 4th best selling car in the month (it was the top seller in December but March is the peak sales month in the UK due to registration plate change). BEVs still only 7.5% of registrations for...

The SR+ accounts for only 5% of m3 sales in Norway, and when he specified the LR in the video, the price reduction was <5%, useful but not explaining the big jump. Still weird.

That would make more sense but I thought I’d read that wait times were similar to other Europe destinations. So interesting to follow what’s going on as they’re so far ahead of others

So what happened in Norway this month? https://teslastats.no/. I thought the story was that Tesla was suffering badly this year with market share because of all the new BEV competition. But they’re going to have the best month since March19 which was the initial rush of first deliveries. Have...

With the much higher range the Plaid Model S very likely needs the new batteries, so I would expect Model S refresh (now late next year) and probably Model X will accommodate the new batteries. This would chime with their low volume production in c1 year. They will also be needed for Cybertruck...

M3 biggest selling vehicle in UK again in May, definitely the new normal ;) UK new car sales down -89.0% in May as ‘click and collect’ sparks hope ahead of showroom re-opening - SMMT

M3 was the best selling car in the UK in April, and EVs at 1/3rd of new sales. The new normal :) Record -97.3% fall for UK new car market in April as coronavirus shuts showrooms - SMMT

In fact the last time Tesla sold so few cars in a quarter in Norway was q2 2017. And now they have a much cheaper product on sale, and the proportion of plug-in sales is much higher. Like it or not, there is now real competition for Tesla in Europe. OEMs need the EV sales in order to avoid...

Norway numbers are here:Registreringsstatistikken – Opplysningsrådet for veitrafikken e-tron sold 3x M3 in Q1. God, even the Leaf outsold the M3 in Q1.

Agree about Norway and March confirms it, e-Tron outselling Model 3 even in March (as well as smashing it for Q1). E-Tron launched at the same time as M3. Why anyone would pay that money for the c200 mile range is beyond me but the Norwegians seem to be getting a bit bored of Tesla.

They managed to get lots of cars over the pond on each of the previous 2nd months of the quarter. It could be that they’re allocating production elsewhere but that makes no sense with China plant now producing and US demand usually quieter in early part of the year. And at least in the UK, the...

February numbers looking very disappointing in Europe. I guess other OEMs actually trying to sell their EVs is having some effect on Tesla.

Norway volumes seem really low this quarter. More like the volumes they were getting pre model 3. Tesla Registration Stats Difficult to believe Tesla is diverting deliveries elsewhere e.g. Netherlands when Norway has been so important to them (indeed UK seems to be bringing forward deliveries...

Uk numbers will be out on Friday. They will definitely be strong, whether they’re as strong as indicated above I don’t know. But they haven’t worked through all the backlog yet and because of the company car tax reduction to zero for EVs from April 2020, UK will stay one of Tesla’s largest...

That's an estimate as Tesla is not a member of Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders so the estimate is just a proportion of the Society's 'other imports' in the month, until the govt stats come out a quarter in arrears. But my numbers are estimates as well but correspond to uk forums so I...

The initial batch (about 200) were delivered in June. Nothing in July. Volume deliveries have started over the last week. There are > 5k orders, so should be comfortably into 4 figures for Q3

I think this is going to be massive for EV take-up in the UK. It’s true that the 2020 tax rate for BEVs was previously announced at 2% and is now 0% (down from 16% this year). But this attractive 2% rate was impossible to exploit as previously govt had always announced rates for the next 3...

We have to wait a bit longer but from April 2020, Uk company car users that have an BEV, will see their annual tax reduce by 88%. For example on a model S 100D (c100k list price) for a top rate tax payer (which would apply to almost all those getting such a car) this is a reduction from c£7,200...

UK is unusually high in Jan as first full month of X deliveries. Also remains to be seen what mid-Jan 5% price increase does to deliveries in Q2 onwards (prices are up c15% now from Brexit, this is only the ER effect, ie. excludes price increase from dearer 60 and other changes made globally).

When UK model X deliveries start, we won't be able to split the estimate between the S & X. According to a verbal comment from Tesla UK, there are c1000 X reservations here. Subject to order conversion, they should be delivered this year.

Actual UK Q1 numbers are now available - 762 MS sales Vehicle licensing statistics: January to March 2016 - Publications - GOV.UK It's close to my estimate of 778 (1018 'other imports' via SMMT, less historical quarterly average of non-Tesla 'other imports' - 240). I do prefer my estimated...

UK sales understandably rose in Q4 as that was the first full quarter of right hand drive dual motor deliveries (i.e. representing 1 year of dual motor orders). I was surprised Q1 was so strong but seems to be genuine demand growth, incentives have not increased. There are a couple more stores...

The SMMT (society of motor manufacturers) provides UK monthly registrations data by brand. Unfortunately the Tesla numbers are only included in 'Other Imports' but Tesla is the majority of this category as all but the very smallest brands supply data. March numbers...

The estimate for UK Q4 15 UK is much too low. Whilst the exact figure will not be released until later by Dept for Transport. The SMMT (society of motor manufacturers) do release monthly numbers but because Tesla do not release the numbers, they are only included in 'Other imports'. See Record...
