    According to Tesla the Model 3 will not be available until late 2018 at the earliest for UK market.

    US deliveries are due to happen at the end of 2017, so there's no hope of other markets getting their cars until 2018 - the only way it would happen is if they halted production of the S and X for the second half of 2017 and purely made M3, but that's not happening. I just hope that we receive...

    Insuring a Tesla in UK

    I really hope that the InsureMyTesla program that currently in Australia and Hong Kong comes to every market. Would much rather have my car insured by a company who knows the full potential of the car and it's accident reducing tech. Plus I trust Elon Musk more than I do my current insurance...

    What is Tesla doing now concerning the M3?

    I'm not sure that the prediction that the 2nd reveal will be this year. With the S and the X, wasn't the final unveil event a lot closer to the release date? I'm thinking the second reveal will happen 3 months before production is due to start so people can configure their cars, they can be...

    Delivery process of model 3

    We're in the same boat in the UK, another RHD market. I've asked the staff at my local Tesla store (not Service Centre) and they are none the wiser about how it all get shaken out.

    what are your thoughts on insurance costs

    I wrote to my insurer (here in the UK) to find out what they policy was with regards to Tesla, the Model 3 and especially Autopilot safety features. They were tight lipped on all fronts. They haven't decided between the various insurers how to deal with it, potentially it could be disastrous...

    Home charging options

    I wrote to my local MP to get the official word on home charging and OLEV grants, and the grant for home chargers runs out at the end of July this year. So if you are going to go to a third party charger that is OLEV eligible, do it now. You do have to prove that you own an electric car (so I...

    Insurance for 21 year Old

    I've been trying to find information on how insurers are quoting for Teslas and with regard to Autopilot safety features. In theory, it should reduce the insurance group (like they do for the low speed emergency braking that's fitted to most cars these days - it lowers a VW Golf's group by 5)...

    Home charging options

    Just going off from Elon Musk said about the options for Model 3 costing less than Model S and X. I accept that it may be the same hardware and software, perhaps they are willing to sacrifice margin on these options to offer a lower price. It probably down to the Model S being a 'luxury' car...

    Model 3 Mule Sightings

    For me, I don't personally like the type face used for the Model and Motor configuration. Looks to 'old school' for me, like it belongs from an American sedan from the late 90s. Of course it's a subjective opinion, but for me in a world full of Helvetica and 'clean, modern fonts', it looks out...

    Model 3 Mule Sightings

    As you say, each to their own. With the relatively giant licence plates that we have here in the UK, it'll probably won't make much difference to the look having badges or not - especially a big yellow plate on a blue car (which is what I'm leaning towards).

    Model 3 Mule Sightings

    The more I see it (or at least pictures of the Model 3), The more I'm hoping that we'll have the option to de-badge the car. The back of the car looks so clean without the Model 3 and motor configuration badges. I think all of the prototypes are like this for the moment (which makes sense), I...

    Home charging options

    Thanks for the info, makes sense for them to be built in batches. I've been looking at the options list for the Model S and working out what potential Model 3 options would cost (based on if they were 75% and 50% of the cost of Model S respectively) and I think I'm going for a relatively...

    Home charging options

    Thanks for the reply! I spoke to Tesla in Leeds last week (it's not a service center, but it is an official store) with a raft of questions - most of which they couldn't answer. But they are the ones who said I could order a Wall Connector, so I think they are actually available to order now...

    Home charging options

    Hi, New to the forum and to driving EVs, or I will be once my Model 3 arrives! Found out about this forum from Ryan McCaffrey's Ride the Lightning Tesla podcast. I'm looking to get my home ready for charging my new Model 3, normal driving will be 50 miles a day. I've spoken to Tesla who...
