When I ordered my Model S I couldn't justify the extra price of Autopilot for the few times I'd find it useful (I live in the country with windy roads and few road markings). I see that the Nissan Leaf now includes their version, ProPilot, for just £400 (aroung $500) and it does all that I'd...

Done some research on this trying to see how I can maxmise use of solar while ensuring I still have enough charge in the Powerwall and car by a set time of day. It seems you can't at the moment unless you use an OpenEVSE charger instead and use code to control the charge rate. Some have modded...

I did not buy EAP because I was worried about the problems I've heard about. On a narrow slipway this morning - about 50mph, wet road and sunny, the car beeped a few times and tried to turn right which would have crashed. Luckily I had my hands firmly on the wheel. Presumably the emergency...

I picked up my base S75 on Friday from Bristol in England. I originally ordered in May so this has been a long process. Over this time, I religiously pored over forums - mainly this one - looking for details and reassurance that I wasn't missing out on anything. During that time, I went from...

EAP still seems like an expensive option to me and is of little use on country roads where I live. I am almost tempted though just for playing with the tech. Had a thought though - I think like any software if you buy it you should be able to transfer it to another car at a later date - just...

The MAERSK Kentucky left Houston yesterday and I thought mine would be on there but MyTesla gives me the same old message. Did any of you notice delays in the MyTesla status being updated when you ordered yours?

MAERSK KENTUCKY Current position (IMO 9193240) | VesselFinder The MAERSK KENTUCKY will leave Houston, Texas on Sunday. MyTesla has been showing mine in transit to the port for 3 weeks - this must surely be it!

My order is waiting at the US port for shipping and now I see base prices are reduced from £61,500 to £60,000 and you get air suspension, fog lights, led turn headlights and ambient lighting thrown in. So even if I lost my £2000 deposit I could reorder and get those extras for £500. Hopefully...

A friend of mine has just bought a VW Tiguan (approx 30k) and he has TACC as standard. It's a great system - maintaining a programmable gap and slowing to a stop in traffic. I don't think it's right to charge an extra 5k for people who want this feature on a Model S. The hardware is all there...

I've just ordered my Model S 75 - very excited! With the old design studio there used to be an option for the high power charge option but that's now gone. I will be getting the Tesla wall charger installed at home. Can the Model S now charge at a higher rate than before and if so is there a...

Finance is looking doable now and I think I need the extra luggage space. Would be nice to help one of the existing S owners on here if I go for it.

All-electric Jaguar I-Pace spied speeding around a track in Monaco Still on the fence and holding my reservation, but the worries I have at the moment in the UK with the Model 3: - Interior is laughable. Lovely car on the outside but interior is a joke. Even a BMW i3 is more appealing inside...

There's no real news at the moment and probably won't be until June / July. So in the meantime and as we've already mentally spent the money, instead of worrying about being disappointed over every little detail let's think about the alternatives we could buy instead. I still don't think I...

From the recent release canditate photos: I think this is a small dash built around the steering column. This could contain an LED speed readout as well as other LEDs for full beam etc.

I'm starting to worry that so much focus is being placed by Tesla on autonomous driving that people who want to drive a dynamic responsive car with great feel through corners is going to be disappointed. Here in England we rarely get a straight stretch of road and outside major cities roads are...

Just a little teaser pic of something new. That's all I'm asking for. Just a tiny peak of a bit of the interior, or a blurred reflection of a speedo somewhere in front of the driver, hey even a peak at the new nose job or the rear-end surgery. Just something... Go on, you know you want to...

Looking back to why I paid up for my reservation a year ago, I just wanted Tesla to succeed in pulling off this amazing plan for mass-produced performance electric cars. The only way that was going to work, and others would follow, was if people like me bought one. Otherwise we'd be stuck with...

I live in the UK and have a Model 3 reservation. I'm looking at the benefits of a combination of installing solar panels, Powerwall and using cheaper overnight electricity (called Economy 7 in the UK). Due to our climate in the UK, solar payback periods are quite long and apart from weekends...
