Hey Simon, Sounds like you’re making a great decision with all pretty reasonable concerns. I’d never spent this much on a car before buying a £64k Model S, that was in April 2016! I’ve actually never kept a car so long and now can’t find anything better I can replace it with. The premium...

Mines a tech armour one from amazon. Does the job and I don’t think it was that expensive. If you’re anywhere near Leicestershire it came as a pack of 3 and you’re welcome to one.

Also worth pointing out that if you get a car allowance from work which reduces the amount of mileage they would pay, this won't affect the HMRC claim.

Hi! I had the same issue and challenge our accounts department who agreed to let me claim a portion of my electricity bill. They're not quite sure how to break it down so I just keep a record on a spreadsheet. Don't forget if you don't claim any mileage you can claim the full 45p tax relief...

Yeah they delivered my S85 last April as an ex demo and was perfect. Warranty the same as new for any niggles too...

Also if you're anywhere near the East Midlands I have a great guy who stocks Tesla conti silents and will repair them too.

Hi Colin, No special process Tesla tyres are fitted like any other car. Only complex bits are putting the air suspension into 'Jack' mode and making sure they don't damage the TMPS sensors. A lot of high end cars have both of these...

Yes there's a very nice chap called Mark Strachan that runs a Tesla only hire car company called Whitecar. If you search his name on facebook you should find him easy enough other wise PM some details and I'll pass them on.

DVLA won't show until its registered and normally taxed for the first time which Tesla wouldn't normally do until collection day. Even then their systems can take a few days to update. Insurers and other systems pull their lookups from services which get a monthly update and may take a little...

Hi there Welcome and good to hear you were converted, I was moving towards an A7 before the test drive. Panemera has grown on me too looks great but don't regret the S one bit! The spec is always going to be personal preference but if the two I'd definitely go for Premium. My favourite...

Hi Nick, I do have a charge point at home but hopefully can offer some insight. Others are likely to help with the rest. In regards to leaving a car at a charge point all day, it's mostly unacceptable. However, at a train station, on a slow (7kw) charger it can take 8-9 hours. As people know...

It'll probably be his next purchase :D

In the first instance 7kw should be more than enough at 22 miles of charge per hour. I have that at home which can fully charge over night and at work which can fully charge while I work. If you're after faster than that of you should be lucky enough to have a shorter working day, I believe...

To update, it's all fixed :) Birmingham Tesla got me in within 3 days and took 3 working days which is reasonable. The insurance took some more convincing. If anyone has the unfortunate need to replace a window Aviva insist you use their own recommended person. The only other alternative in...

Thanks! The paintwork is all sorted now and Tesla are picking up the car today. For info the recommended glass companies from Aviva (and I expect most insurance) are Autoglass and National Windscreens. Both of these had no Tesla glass stocked and passed it to a 'specialist' buying team on...

Just the picture, the dash readouts all at 42 psi :)

Yes, I agree. A statement of intellect and ambition on their part. :D Yes it seems to have bounced twice off the window (I can tell from the clever 'brick tracking technology' built into the glass) and then landed on the roof. A second brick was not aimed quite so well and landed next to the car.

Great work, I'm on it...

I nipped into the Bristol store on the way back but unfortunately bank holiday Monday was the wrong day to expect an answer. I'll hopefully hear today and update back here I case anyone else faces the green eyed monster. Thanks! You are all doing well with the Sympathy...

I thought this would be worth posting for everyone to offer their sympathy. After just two weeks with the car I'd driven to Cardiff for the weekend only to return to where I had parked it to find a brick to the side and roof. Rear window has completely gone and some paint damage too. All just...

Zap Map seems to work pretty well for me so far plus they have a really nice app and filters for connectors/networks/charge speed. Plug share seems ok and works with the tesla browser too but doesn't look as nice as Zap map...

First Supercharge, Northampton UK :D

A couple more from a my first Supercharge...

I'll post some more up here when I get chance for a proper photo shoot :D

Hi everyone, Picked up my MS 85 ex demo about a week ago now (after a month trawling the forums for info). It followed a 'very' speculative test drive leading to me trading in the BMW 640d ICE for a silent rocket ship... Great to see all the info on here and owners from all over the world...

I'd offer to run a glass' guide check but my 2015 MS 85 comes in just over £40k when I paid £64k last week. Had to check the private sales to sense check I wasn't going to lose out straight off the bat but everything seemed right on the £64k. Downside is the dealers will underwrite based on the...

Buy one off the group buy and return it packaged to Amazon ;)

I'd report them for stealing the key to your car...
