    Uncorking 75Ds in the UK

    Hi Guys I have enquired about "uncorking" my March registered MX60 and have had a response from Leeds service centre...... I have been looking into this for you and yes, it does appear that if you upgraded the car to a 75D you would also be eligible for the “uncork”. If you want to upgrade...

    Ha ha yes the Tesla grin has appeared...lol 500 miles clocked up since Tuesday!! I have calibrated and pleased to have Tacc and auto steer which i can't help but chuckle about when in use!

    What features will I get with 'Autopilot Convenience'?

    Thanks DJ, Yes we all have had our patience tested to the max, unbelievably Tesla are still trying to find the BACS payment my office sent over a week ago to them so fingers crossed all will be well ? On the early train to Manchester tomorrow so they had better get their finger out and find it...

    What features will I get with 'Autopilot Convenience'?

    I am picking my MX up tomorrow and was given an option to upgrade to AP2 last year for an additional cost. You appear to be getting AP1 as this was originally priced at £2600 ? Did Tesla not contact you to give you an opportunity to upgrade? Regards Tanny

    List of upcoming UK Superchargers

    It is certainly going to be interesting to see what progress is made with the network this year, hopefully we will see plenty of new additions. Once the influx of M3 hits the U.K. The network will definitely take a hammering. Number of sites must improve significantly within the next 24 months...

Gocompare- not one insurance quote Avviva- (current insurer )won't insure LV- won't insure me due to post code area and value of vehicle( never ever been told my post code is a high risk area)...

    Time from "in production" to UK delivery

    Sorry not sure , at a guess I think it was transferring from Freemont to Houston inbetween Xmas and New Year with it sailing Around 24th Jan or possibly a day or two earlier ? I think from memory DJP we were on the same boat or so it seemed ?

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    Dimensions of the MX is a concern, I have been out there a few nights ago measuring the width of our gates , thankfully they will accomadate (just) but narrow roads or cars parked each side is a real worry. Patience will certainly be required!

    Model X Insurance UK

    Just had a quote from direct line, they asked a hell of a lot of questions, one thing to note the MX is a group 93 ! Apparently groupings are 1-100 1 being pedal power to 100 rated at Bugatti/McLaren . £667 which I was presently surprised. 42yrs with max no claims

    UK 5% increases now live

    My man maths tells me an additional £17,000.00 would be my new entry point including the price increases on the options I chose , however I have ordered a MX60 so that includes the £6500 uplift to a 75 which of course is the starting battery spec now. Feeling lucky to of got in early ...

    I agree , wait until March for the new reg, the car will be worth £500+ than a Feb reg when you come to sell it.

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    Just had a reply back from my delivery specialist, I can confirm that your car has now completed production and is due to make its way to the transport over the weekend. This means we are looking at the first 2 weeks of March for arrival in the UK. This can alter slightly but it is roughly...

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    Sounds like we need to call Freemont directly and speak to the production manager to actually get some proper answers........! it does amaze me how little information Tesla staff in the U.K. Seem to have? In my last life (20 years ago)I worked in the motor trade with various manufacturers and...

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    It is a guessing game , why on earth should my car be showing to be further down the line than yours ordered two months earlier?? My car went into production apparently a week or so before Christmas. I still doubt that March 1st delivery will come to fruition. It still says it is in...

    At last! My Tesla has just updated with a delivery estimate, Model: Model X 60D Vin: 5YJXDCE2XHF*325*0 Estimated Delivery Range: Late February - March I placed my order the end of August. When I originally ordered Tesla estimated delivery in February and I asked for a March 1st delivery, so...

    Where would you like to see a new Supercharger?

    In time , who knows , 10 - 15 years years from now with a possible 200,000 + Tesla`s on the road ? It is unlikely that Tesla will have the ability to provide many 20+bay SC stations around the UK to cope with the demand so my guess is there will be a lot more 2-5 bay locations and already to...

    Where would you like to see a new Supercharger?

    Totally agree Milkfloat, in time Superchargers will hopefully be within 50 miles or less on all main arterys/motorways. I actually live in Darlington and have just returned from Manchester after catching up with friends for a couple of days . This journey was done in an ICE and driving back up...

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    Unfortunately not, I emailed my DS just before Christmas to inform her that I intend on putting a private reg on the car and also asked again regarding delivery , her response was that she would check in the New year when things return to normal after The holidays! My car went into production a...

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    Hi Cookielovers, I share your pain, emailed Tesla over a week ago and asked if they had a delivery update (DS and SA) had zero response from either ! To be fair I asked for March delivery way back in August but after the arrived in Tilburg saga I thought it would be sensible to try and get a...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    I absolutely concur, the MX parts issue clearly reflects the insurance quotes . Definitely wasn't expecting it to be 4 digits but Hopefully Tesla may partner an insurer in the U.K. Which should help significantly , I read that Tesla have started to roll out this sort of arrangement in the...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    Based on my Merc which is half the purchase cost of the MX I wouldn't expect my insurance to more than quadruple....I currently pay £350 per month............ so yes £1500 is expensive.............

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    The mindset of an ICE driver (like me) to someone like yourself with first hand experience of "range" management is really interesting. As an ICE driver a "range" is given on the fuel gauge but realistically never really noted until either a long trip is forthcoming or it hits quarter of a...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    Oh Dear, that is much more expensive than I had imagined. No other option for you other than to bite the bullet if the car is literally in the post......I have a couple of months until mine arrives so fingers crossed more insurers come to the party and at least you will get to benefit on your...

    Thanks Cookielovers. Coincidently I watched the same video last night! I agree The 60 definitely looks excellent value when taking everything into account. I also spoke with my wife last night and we have come to the conclusion we are going to stick to the 60. For our personnel circumstances...

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    Just having a further cogitation and would Tesla really charge £16700 to upgrade from a 60 to a 75 during ownership ? Would any 60 owner in there right mind pay that?? Would Tesla realistically even think an owner would pay such a premium for 30 miles of extra range?? I'm sure the maths of cost...

    Model X UK deliveries in 2016

    Nice post cookielovers, I am in the same position as you so this information is extremely interesting to say the least ! The other thing I am trying to figure out is when the order was originally placed was there a price quoted to upgrade to a 75 during ownership, in the back of my mind I seem...
