I am selling my 4no 21" x8.5J Genuine Tesla Turbine alloy wheels. They are currently black, and will need a refurb, as Stevie Wonder has been driving.... I am asking £450 each. There are no TPMS sensors or tyres, but you can transfer them from your existing wheels. Tesla want over £1000 a rim...

Hi Peeps, My P85, prior to the last few updates used to put out between 416bhp and 425bhp. 0-60mph was also just over 4 seconds. It now takes far longer to supercharge (2 hours from 2% to 95%), the peak power is only hitting 396bhp and the 0-60mph is 4.4 seconds. Has anyone else noticed this on...

Hi, I am looking at putting 21x9j (255/30/21)and 21x10.5j (295/30r21) on my P85. I know they will fit, but my concern is about potholes. My turbine wheels have been known to split after going down our wonderful UK roads. For those of you with the Vossen wheels, how do you find them? Thanks

Not that it is a problem, but does that mean that we get a better deal on finance if we are now putting down 8-10% of what a P85 now costs? It's only been the last 2 days, as I was going to transfer the £1000 from my M3 reservation to the P85, but was waiting until today for a test drive to see...

HI, looking at buying this one, multicoat red, black leather seats, no autopilot (which doesn't bother me, as I like to drive!). Does anyone know where it is, and also, who can you recommend for finance on a CPO? I have a trade in and already have my £1000 deposit on a model 3, so could chuck...

Hi, I am probably a bit out of the ordinary when it comes to your average Tesla owner, as I don't have a garage or a carport. What I do have is 3 oak trees that drop sap all over anything that is parked vaguely near them. It washes off OK, but it is a pain every morning! So my question is, do...

Hello, I cancelled my Model 3 reservation, as I test drove a Model S the other day, and despite most people saying about how big it is on UK roads, I found it quite alright. That said, I have had mid sized pick up trucks for years, so the MS is 18 inches shorter but about the same width. I have...

I went and had a test drive of a Model S yesterday, as I have a Model 3 reservation and wanted to see what all the hype was about. The bottom line is that I am now seriously looking at buying a brand new 60D MS, with AWD, next gen leather and Pano roof. The cost is £61,300 (+380 delivery fee)...

Funny the things you find out. Chatting with a guy from Tesla UK about the Model Y, and it will be a 2 seater, so will be the new name for the latest Roadster. This means that I won't be waiting beyond my Model 3 delivery for a smaller version of the X, which some sources said the Y would be...

Hello, The reason for my question is because I have a test drive coming up, and it is sure to be in the P90D, but not the 60D I am looking at. I know the 0-60mph is 2.8 seconds vs 5.2 seconds, but I want to get a feel for how quick a 5 second 0-60mph is. At the moment I have a Nissan Leaf...

Hello, I am on the list for a Model 3, but, by the time it comes out, the new 2016 shape will be 2 years old, and a 2 year old low mileage 60KWH fully loaded S could be had for the same price as a brand new similarly specified Model 3. My point is that I have seen various CPO offerings, but I...

Bad news for all those "ECO" hybrids, as London is now to start charging £11.50 per day for any car with any tail pipe emissions. I currently drive a Leaf, and have ordered a Model 3, so I am quietly smug about this fact. Hybrids are a step backwards, its a bit like saying you can swim, but...

As time draws closer to the imminent delivery of my Model 3 (787 days to go), can anyone confirm what options I have for a decent extended warranty. What I want is an 8 year 100,000 mile b2b cover. Is there such a thing?

OK, officially a complete sad-o moment here. I have got a countdown timer widget on my laptop, which is counting down to 8/8/18. It just happens to be my 43rd birthday, and hopefully gives the Tesla clan enough time to get my new toy delivered. 789 days to go!!!

Hello Alexandra, As kind as the offer of £80 for an hours chatting is, time is something I don't have much of (so I am writing this in my lunch break). As for why do I drive electric? well, I had a diesel pick up truck until a year ago. It was involved in an accident and so I had to replace...

Hi All, I currently have a Nissan Leaf. I have done the "Man maths" and can afford a CPO Model S until I get my Model 3 delivered. I have never been in a Tesla, let alone driven one. I did book into a test drive, but all the spaces were already gone for the local one. A couple of questions...

Hi Peeps, Following the UK governments amazing move next year to charge road tax on every car over costing over £40,000 built from 2017, what do you think the chances are that I can get an AWD version delivered for less than £40K? I really begrudge paying more tax on my zero emission car, than...

Hi peeps, Going out on a limb here. I have just seen on FB that Tesla finance is now being offered on Pre-owned Tesla's. I have seen a 2014 P85+ for £62K, which, if I can put the finance over 6 years with a bit of a deposit I can afford. I don't know if that time period is an option, so need to...

Hi All, I am waiting for my Model 3 to be delivered, but I want to know how good the security is. My Nissan Leaf can be started by sitting in it with the key in my pocket, but if it is in drive mode and I put the keys outside the car, I can still drive off. I don't know how far I could drive...

One of my smug "oil burning pick up truck" driving friends sent me a link to a very recent article in a UK motoring magazine stating that in 2017, even a zero emission electric vehicle could be subject to car tax. I say "could" as it applies to every car built after Jan 1st 2017 and costing...

Hello, I currently drive a Nissan Leaf, and like all Nissan's, I think they have possibly the thinnest coats of paint on a car that they could get away with. Needless to say, that even the tiniest scratches have gone straight through to the undercoat, and when the undercoat is white on a...

Here in the UK, we are being threatened with various ploys to stop us trying to get our freedom and independence back. One of which is that if we leave the European Union, then it could take 10 years to set up trade links again. Personally I have never heard so much cr*p, but they will try...
