I picked up my new Model S a week ago and received the first software update today. Sat Nav is pants - it stalls for several minutes and therefore is not something one can rely on. I called SC on Friday and again today - both times they promised to get back to me but nothing heard yet. The...

I'm now leaning toward the Tesla wall connector. As NullException said it's really a matter of convenience. The Rolec would hot have the flap opening button and for the sake of £200 on a £10,000 car... My next decision is whether to go for a Tesla recommended installer or the chap in the same...

Thanks jerry33 but that throws up another question. According to the .PDF that contains installation instructions for the wall connector, it can output varying power levels: 80A, 72A, 64A, 56A, 48A, 40A, 36A, 32A, 28A, 24A, 20A, 16A, 12A. And I have been assuming that if you connect an empty...

I believe that faster charging requires 3 phase electrical supply which hardly any domestic houses have (in UK at least). The frequent un/plugging of the single mobile connector will weaken it over time and having a second power source for the time it fails would be useful. Plus, would save...
