    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    I’m at the Aviemore superchargers now and can confirm only four. Just spoken to one of the guys removing the cabinets and it’s not for an upgrade and will only be four bays. I suppose with Fort William and Inverness locations soon gives more options.

    Real World Model 3 UK Experience

    What has delighted you? Handling and off course the acceleration. App works ever time - take note Renault! What has disappointed you? Finish quality of the paint - correction swirls. Free Supercharging miles not yet applied. Phantom drain using sentry mode (1mph). How are you managing...

    Questions For Uk Model 3 Owners (delivery Complete)

    The delivery specialist just listed everything and said he’d pass it on. I’ve not had any follow up from Tesla Birmingham over the last week. The green circled items on the paintwork (difficult to capture on a pic I admit) show areas of fogging in the paint which are circular. I have about...

    Questions For Uk Model 3 Owners (delivery Complete)

    Collected mine from Birmingham last Friday (28th June). It was a very quick experience and slick in terms of paperwork. We went through the checklist that is doing the rounds on forums and spotted a few issues we logged with the delivery specialist. Overall really happy with the drive and some...

    Nav on Autopilot in the UK :-)

    Exciting, especially with the Model 3's not far away now. A shame about all the EU legislation holding back some of the features however :(

    I’ve been offered 42% less for my car from Tesla than the Autotrader valuation

    Tesla trade-in request form

    I'm expecting it to be bad but will wait and see. What's annoying is that there's no automated acknowledgement email and it doesn't show up on the Tesla account that it's been requested.

    Unsure if is is common knowledge but you can submit your trade-in request online at Trade-in Value | Tesla UK

    UK Model 3 order page open!

    Thanks for the heads up, corrected as forum rules.

    UK Model 3 order page open!

    I would suspect a total brief move in production to RHD Model 3's soon and agree with a boat load being shipped. I've read around 5-6,000 per boat load which 'could' be mixed RHD and European models. Drop off at a UK port and then move onto offload the rest perhaps.

    UK Model 3 order page open!

    Great advice and the route I will probably go for to finance my LR AWD. The APR is based on the applicant having a good credit rating so it could be higher than 2.9%. I'm actually surprised that Tesla are still showing June delivery six days into the order books being open. Maybe I'm naive at...

    I got really excited when I saw this yesterday but it turned out to be an April fools joke.

    Model 3 UK reservation holders

    HI guys. I put together an article about being at the back of the queue and the hardware improvements being in the RHD models if you wanted a read. Waiting 3 years for the RHD Tesla Model 3, benefits of being at the back!

    Meet Model 3

    I think the invites might be mostly on 1. Geographic location to the stores that are showing them and 2. Existing Tesla owner. I’m a 31 March in store reservation at Tesla Birmingham, non Tesla owner and nothing yet.
  15. EV Guy

    I reserved 2 M3's but will only be able to afford 1, options?

    My opinion would be, if you don’t want the reservation get your £1000 back and let another reservationists move up the queue. That way everyone benefits and people who placed their deposits as you did get the Model 3 in turnkeeping it fair.
  16. EV Guy

    Reserved Tesla M3 , continental driving?

    Well done on the reservation. When did you order and when do you hope for delivery?

    Finally...

    @Dan77 LFE/Fosse Park Area here, you? Model 3 reservation since March 2016. Getting really fed up waiting now but sure it’ll be worth it.
  18. EV Guy

    Finally...

    Congratulations Dan77 I’ll look out for you on the roads in Leicestershire. Hopefully I’ll be able to wave from my Model 3 mid next year.

    Hi Leo, in RZOC and a Zoe owner for five years end of August. So looking forward to Model 3 and was lucky enough to get a reply on Twitter from Elon Musk this week on the RHD version saying probably mid next year. Electric Vehicle Guy on Twitter

    Model 3 UK reservation holders

    31st March 2016 reservationists here. Ideally I’d like the Model 3 with standard battery, maybe AWD, red or blue and with the 19” sport alloys. Non Tesla owner but hoping to be in the first batch shipped over for the RHD orders.

    Green Light on Rearview Mirror

    I've thought for a while the rearview mirror could be used to communicate with the driver without the need for a screen. I'm thought this after seeing this https://i1.wp.com/electrek.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/04-kodnxsn.jpg it looks like something is lit up (could be a reflection). Back to...

    Anybody still bother with Ecotricity chargers with the new 6GBP tariff?

    I pass LFE Services on the M1 twice a day and have never seen them so empty. I've only seen one Outlander charging since the change. I don't use them regularly so still have my 52 free charges as an Ecotricity customer.

    Spare rear windscreen anyone? - Car bricked in Cardiff (literally)

    So sorry to hear about this and good on you for not having a rant. I'm unsure if I'd be so calm tbh! Where in Cardiff was this as I go down from Leicester to see friends often in Canton. I hope you get your Model S back to its former glory soon!

    Email from Tesla- congratulations from Tesla

    It's certainly strange and possibly to be taken with a pinch of salt. Ordered in store on 31st March in the UK and not had anything like this. I hope you fellow Brits have your reservations listed on Model3Tracker.info

    Plug-in Car Grant: Will it still be available for Model 3?

    It may be gone we just don't know. I think it certainly won't be around for PHEV's as air quality is going to be a major push going forward. Any fossil fuel burning car will see increased taxation.

    UK price increase due on 1st April

    A lot of people are saying the prices are due to currency exchange rates USD$ - GBP£ being fairly low and down to uncertainty over 'Brexit'

    How much does my car worth now? [help]

    Wow, can't believe you want to change already. The Parkers - Price Checker App says £61,000 BUT doesn't take into account the following... Has less than 10,000 miles (will always be seen within 10,000 mile blocks) Autopilot Premium & Lighting Package Gloss Obeche wood I've found in the past...

    OMG! Tesla P90D

    Had my first ever drive in a Tesla on Thursday and was blown away! The plan was for a Model 3, which I am still going to put a deposit on but I want a Model S now!!! I filmed it ... Also my friend (an S85 owner) did an Insane run

    Are RHD Model 3 owners at the very back of the queue or in the same spot as European orders?

    Model 3 Reservation in UK

    I'm looking to go after work which they are fine with and said they can enter it all on the online system including credit card details. The email sent out by Tesla says all stores will accept deposits from 10am local time in each region.

    Model 3 Reservation in UK

    Went to the Solihull store and its literally a Model S, a few banners, pop-up table and three staff huddled around it in the mall concourse. The store Tesla will be occupying is under fitting out currently. They were all nice and dealt with me really well. They had to call the main Birmingham...

    As there has been so little detail until now about opening times and ordering in the UK all of the holiday at work is taken with it being Easter half term. I'm planning to drive the hour or so from work to the Solihull store (Birmingham) to put my name on the list. Being in Renault Zoe I'll...

    UK price increase due on 1st April

    I've read elsewhere it's. 4% increase from April 1st. It'll be interesting if off the back of the Model 3 announcement any Model S news is given such as the rumoured 100kWh battery.
