    New FWD switch design

    Well, My SC was as surprised as you when they got the part. Waiting to hear if they have sourced one for the other side to match it for me yet...

    Shallow, but definite click. Not touch sensitive.

    New FWD switch design

    The interior switch for my right FWD broke about 6 weeks or so ago. Service Centre finally got one in last week and called me in today to replace it. Upon opening it they realised it is a whole new design, which is better in my opinion - less likely to break, easier for a novice to understand...

    Model X Consumption Data - P100D in the UK

    Indeed, seeing about a 2-3% loss overnight.

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    I saw that vid too. The ceramic is only a few thou of an inch thick - not enough to affect the sensors. Everything is working fine. It is a much thinner layer than there would be if you got it wrapped. Getting it filthy this week driving around Devon in this weather, I have quite a thick...

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    Yes, not cheap, but I think it was worth it. Certainly will be in making it easier to clean, and it has stayed cleaner since, especially in this weather. He shows his prices on his website and he does a phenomenal job - really knows his stuff too. Interesting and surprisingly he told me that...

    Model X Consumption Data - P100D in the UK

    Recent discussions gave concern around consumption of the model X. I signed up for TeslaFi for my recent drive down to Devon from South Bucks. For the motorway (M4/M5) legs the stats are: TACC set at 80mph, clear and slightly damp roads. 20" wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Winter at 41psi P100D...

    Got it on Dec 28th. Couple of minor niggles but absolutely loving it. Just waiting on the AP2 update now...

    X: What's your 90%?

    Are you showing Rated or Typical? Sounds strange that in the same vehicle you are getting 258 to my 241/2 ! I got 269 on a 100% just now.

    RHD VIN assignment and delivery

    I and at least 2 others I know of have P100D Xs in the U.K. which were not Signature and were delivered just at the end of Dec (28th in my case). AP2 of course as are all RHD Xs, just waiting on the software...

    X: What's your 90%?

    Do you have Range Mode turned on?

    X: What's your 90%?

    Yes - honestly I was hoping for 250/90% and 275/100%, but I'll take this - rarely drive 200 miles or even 150 without a SC stop anyway. Just means I can go faster between them... ;-)

    X: What's your 90%?

    P100D, 400 miles. Rated: 90% - 242 miles 100% - 268 miles

    RHD VIN assignment and delivery

    Mine is showing the same, after the mad website glitches of the weekend where everyone showed in Tilburg, even if they had only confirmed their orders one day before! Spoke to my DS today - all of the first UK MXs are showing the same status. Said they are going to have to get a move on if...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    To be honest, paying £1,500 to insure a £145,000 car that gets to 60 in 2.8 secs is not too steep in my opinion, and kind of what I was expecting. @DJP31 is the second person to say that to me about the battery pack thing with Admiral. I will confirm it when I phone up to confirm the insurance...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    I am mid-40s, clean licence and full NCD, wife the same. 3 cars in household and parked on driveway. Getting quotes to include business use as I will use it to drive to client meetings. Of this list, I have had the following luck: 1. Direct Line - quoted £2,200 with a £1,350 excess...

    RHD VIN assignment and delivery

    New news, Direct Line, after talks with Tesla UK, are now insuring Xs and have removed their value cap for policies. They did however come in a lot more expensive than Admiral when I got them to quote.

    RHD VIN assignment and delivery

    Here is my experience - Model X P100D, price £140k, parking in Marlow on driveway, husband and wife in 40s with no convictions and 9 years plus no-claims, late Dec delivery (hopefully!): My multi-car policy with Aviva is up on 14th Dec anyway, so was phoning around to potentially switch anyway...

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    WOW. My P100D X is built and in transit and has been for a little while now, yet they are telling me early Jan with a slim chance of end of Dec. From chatting to others it would appear this is amongst the first batch of UK deliveries. How are they proposing to suddenly build and ship yours to...

    RHD VIN assignment and delivery

    So, mine is apparently completed as of Friday 4th November and was waiting for shipping. Currently talking about Jan 2nd, possibly earlier is they can... Also, today (Nov 7th) the European Model X Manual has appeared in My Tesla.

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    I'm confused, UK orders did not open until June, yet you say you ordered in April? Did you select to upgrade to P100D at the end of August when it was announced? Who told you they have only made 3 RHD cars and when? As far as I know mine enters production tomorrow (Monday) and I know of...

    RHD VIN assignment and delivery

    For definite? - Did you have this in an email from your DS? More importantly, what does your Design Spec say in My Tesla? The reason I ask is because mine is scheduled for build on 31st Oct, but my Design Spec (and others in the UK) now says "Autopilot Hardware 1 with Convenience Features"...

    This VIN should be under the picture of the car at the top, where your reservation number used to be.

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    I understood that it would not, as it would not have the necessary sockets for connecting up a lighting board, and that you only got that with the tow bar. I got that from reading on the web, not from speaking to anyone at Tesla.
  31. J

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    Sorry, I meant lighting board. A board with your registration plate and lights on it, like you would have on the back of a trailer. If your registration plate or rear lights are obscured by the bikes in any way then legally you should have one. Halfords Cycle Carrier Lighting Board

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    TBH I was going to order that as bikes is the only thing I would ever put on it. However, when I realised that once I had put bikes on it I would then need to add a light bar and the accessory hitch didn't come with the socket for that, I upgraded to full towbar...

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    Oh dear: "Musk stated that P100D production would be limited at the start, noting that the manufacturing complexity of the 100 kWh battery pack is significantly greater than the current 90 kWh pack. "It gets exponentially harder to increase energy density," Musk said. He estimated initial...

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    Nope, he was still waiting for the price to come through (it was only 9:30am), but assured me it would be done for me as soon as he could process it - I'm guessing it will be £7500 or thereabouts. I also asked if the adjustment would then mean I would also get hit by the AP and PUP price rises...

    UK / London - Model X - anyone out there?

    Yup - reserved end Feb, ordered the first day orders were allowed in the UK. P90DL 7-seats with everything apart from the fact I'm going with 20" wheels. Currently being told delivery estimate early 2017... Just spoken to sales team to follow up on my mail request last night to upgrade to...

    What car do you currently drive while waiting for the Model X?

    2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. A very fun and useful introduction to an electric drivetrain and charging which means that even now anything full ICE feels horrible - I even hate it when I hear the ICE kick in on the PHEV. I now dream of driving over 30 miles on pure ICE in a 4x4... I rented...

    Parcel Shelf / Load Cover?

    That is great to hear, thanks. Since I most likely won't be getting mine in the UK for over a year, I can only hope it is available by then!

    Parcel Shelf / Load Cover?

    Hi, First post, long time lurker with a UK reservation (planning on 7-seat P90DL). I have searched and looked everywhere but can't find the answer. Is there any form parcel shelf or load cover available for when the 3rd row up OR down? I feel mine will have the 3rd row flat a fair bit of...
