Hi all, could I sense check something with you all. I've just bought a 2017 P100DL and I have just driven it 220 miles on a trip for the first time. This has given me an average wh/m of 419. I've been driving mostly at the limit (70), and it's 1 degree C outside, with autopilot on for most of...

Hi all, I have a 2017 MS with air suspension, and I think I must have a leak somewhere as it drops to 'low' every time I leave it anywhere. It does go into standard and high when running, but obviously the compressor is probably running permanently to do this. Before I start to investigate...

Hi, does anyone remember (or have it on a spec sheet) what options were available for a P100D in 2017? I know there were paint options, wheel options and Autopilot/FSD options, but were there any others?

Hi all. I’ve been watching a few YouTube videos where the presenter has used an OBD2 reader called ‘Carly’ and they’ve been able to change coded functions on the car (for example turning off the seatbelt warning light etc etc). I’ve been in touch with Carly who tell me that they only have basic...

Hi all, please don't comment on my stupidity, but hear me out. 2017 MS 75D 1. I'm locked out 2. My 12v battery is dead. 3. I cannot open the frunk due to snapped off manual releases in the past (and yes I haven't replaced them FFS) How can I get into the car with no physical key to open the...

Hi all. Has anyone got any diagrams or videos showing access to a 2017 DC to DC converter? I can find loads for the 2012-16 model which is behind the front wheel arch but I believe the 2017 model was moved under the frunk? I can’t find anything showing the location and need to replace a 40a...

Hi all my heater went in my 2017 75D last winter (with a bang so I guess the fuse too). I see there’s plenty of parts on eBay for around £150. But are they all the same parts? Do model 3 fit the model s? Are the gen 1,2,3 versions all compatible with the same car? Had a quote for over £1500...

Hi all. I’ve taken my wheel into the garage for a refurb and it’s come back a completely different shade of grey. Not a problem they’ve said they’ll redo it for free but does anyone know the colour code? He said the colour he used (and he showed me the tin) was called sonic carbon. But it’s way...

Hi all, so the sun was beating down on my instrument cluster this afternoon for an hour and when I got back into the car, the screen had a dark orange tinge to it. I didn't do anything and let it cool down for a few hours, then when I did a reboot, the screen was white and the display, although...

Hi all, slightly off topic with Tesla but here goes. My wife has bought a brand new Renault Zoe, and it doesn't come with a charger, so she's been charging it from the 3 pin plug on my Gen 1 UMC without issue for weeks. Given how slow it is, I thought I'd try with my blue 32a commando...

Hi all, I have a UK 2017 75D and I currently charge at 11kW (32amps) which gets me 21 miles per hour charge @ 240 volts. I do have 3 phase to my house and wondered what I could go up to - I believe 22kW is the maximum 3 phase can do @ 32amps? Will my car be able to handle this? Thanks for any...

Hi all. Does anyone know if there’s a decent bike carrier for the model S which can carry 4 bikes? Thanks for any advice.

I'm moving house and the new one has 3 phase, so the blue UMC connector needs changing. Anyone want to sell their red one? UK preferred.

Hi all. My current charging at home solution is very primative. My electrician friend connected me a £10 commando socket to my fuse board 3 years ago, and I simply charge with the charger which came with my Model S in 2017 (is it called a UMC?). It has a removable 3 pin plug and came with a...

Went to my car this morning and I now seem to have an upgrade which gives me navigate on autopilot and summon? Previously I hadn’t got this (just a standard AP). Have Tesla given me this for free?

Hi all. Can anyone confirm or deny if a washing machine will fit in the boot of a MS? I've gotta pick one up from Currys this afternoon for my elderly parents and I'm thinking it won't! Thanks all for any advice!

Hi all. I see there are some boxes which can connect up to the camera screen, but I'm confused as to what exactly you would connect to these? I was thinking an apple tv or something but doesn't this need mains voltage power rather than 12v? What else could you use? Or am I missing something...

So it might sound a bit daft, but I've just bought Autopilot upgrade for the reduced price of £1,900, but wasn't paying full attention when I clicked 'buy now'. Now the option has gone from Mytesla, and replaced with 'Upgraded Autopilot' which includes summon and parking........didn't I just...

Hi all, I've been on Green Energy's TIDE tariff for a while, but they've increased their rates by some 15/20% which has prompted me to start looking around. Has anyone come across a good E7 rate recently? Thanks all.

I was amazed to find out that my £4000 turbines don’t even come with locking wheel nuts!! Can anyone recommend a set? Or is it a case of going to Halfords? Thanks all.

So I love the fact you can start charging at a specific time. But you can’t stop it at a specific time! Is there an app which I can program to stop it charging at 7.00am (when my cheap electric finishes)? Also is there an app which you can put in a departure time (say 8am) and a start...

Brand new unopened CHAdeMO adapter. £375 plus postage.

Hi all. I know there’s a section for items for sale but it’s all based on US sellers rather than UK, so I thought I’d post in the UK section to advise you all. If anyone would like a brand new unopened CHAdeMO adapter for £375 please see my listing on there. Thanks all.

Got my renewal quote through (Hastings) at £514. Went onto comparisons and cheapest (by a long way) is Hastings with Telematrics. They want to install a box in my car - no thanks! So, does anyone have any recommendations? Did a quote with Direct Line and its £422. Other than the comparisons...

So I've kicked off about the significant delays to my Powerwall 2 referral prize. They've explained the Puerto Rico problems caused the delays. However they've offered to convert this prize into referral credits to be used at my Service Centre etc. Although they give me no explanation as to...

Hi all. So I can't believe how easily this centre console cover scratches. I swear it scratches if you just breath on it. Anyway, I've decided to get it wrapped. But what to go for? Carbon fibre seems the most obvious but I wondered if anyone else had done anything different? Also, is it...

Hi all, i’ll be leaving the car for 2 weeks tomorrow, any tips on settings configuration to minimise vampire drain? Obviously I want to keep alarm etc active. Thanks in advance

Hi all, after a long wait, I've finally received my Referral email for the Arachnid wheels. As much as I quite like them, I have no need for them having bought some aftermarket wheels for my S some months back. So if you're interested, please drop me a PM. I am looking for £3,000 (which I...

I’ve just been awarded the 21” arachnid wheels code and I don’t want it as I already have the 21” turbines. Do you think the referral team will swap it for Autopilot? Or at least a part payment if I made up the difference? You’d think they would given that the Autopilot will cost them nothing...

Hi all, I have received a referral code for either of the above. I have no need for either so if you're interested send me a PM. Don't know what they're worth, so make me an offer. I'm in the UK but I'm led to believe these are transferrable overseas without cost. Please check first.

Now I love my Tesla like a third child, but I have one niggle which worries me. Just what does the warranty on the battery cover? Just total failure or degregation over a certain percentage? For example if the car is 7.5 years old and I only get 100 miles from a charge, will they...

Well I’m excited. My app informed me I had a software update ready so I went to the car and started it going. Glaringly obvious spelling mistake warning me that I will not be able to DIVE the car whilst it updates (1:41 hours). I hope the software developers can develop better than they can...

I've had my car for a month now and have a 3,000 miles on it, but something is really confusing me about the charge kWh. My car is a 75D but with the new 85kWh battery (software locked - so irrelevant for these purposes). I charge to 90% mostly. I get a stated range of 221 from this. The...

Hi all. As per the title. Is there a paint code or anything for the grey turbines? Can’t believe the misses has kerbed a wheel! Going to take it in tomorrow for a refurb potentially. Although I’m nervous about getting it done as I don’t want it to look out of place against the back one...

Hi all, this might be so obvious I almost feel silly asking, but can someone tell me how much electricity it uses to charge my S75D at home? For example, if I am almost empty of charge and I fully charge my car for 24 hours on the 240v (10amp) charger that came with the car, does it cost me...

Hi all. I've not had my MS 5 minutes and I've already managed to scuff the metal door threshold on the drivers side (the thing that says 'Model S' on it. This is really going to look terrible after a few more weeks if I aren't careful. Is there any advice other than watching my big clumsey...

Hi all, just really got to start using my new MS, and was wondering which one of the range indicators is more likely to be accurate. ie range on small display behind steering wheel shows 118 miles however range on sat nav shows 91 miles to my destination, arriving with just 2% charge remaining...

Not that I ever plan to get to 0%, but was just interested if anyone has got this low and had to keep on driving? I think I've read on another forum 17 miles before he charged (implying it had further left)! I start sweating if my previous ICE cars have gone into the red, so will probably...

Hi all. Picking up my new car next week and immediately after picking it up, I need to drive 235 miles without stopping really. I've asked the SC to charge to 100%, and I know it theoretically has 259 miles from 100%, but am I pushing it too much to expect that it will be able to do 235 miles...

Does anyone know if (as a M3 reservation customer) I can refer someone and claim the kids car? Obviously I can still cancel my M3 reservation (not that I plan to). Cheers.

Hi all. I'm yet to pick up my new Model S 75D but as soon as I pick it up I've got a bit of a trip to do the very next day (600 miles) so I'm trying to plan my route in advance. As someone who hasn't ever plugged a car in before, can you give me some advice about how superchargers work? I...

Hi all. I ordered my inventory MS at the start of July. Primarily as the delivery date was expected to be much sooner than a custom order. Expected delivery was start of August. This then slipped to mid August and now is late August/start of September! When I ordered it. I was told it was...

Hi all, I'm waiting for my new inventory 75D to arrive. I see from the specs that it has this 72amp charger. What do I need to take advantage of this at home? In the UK we get a £500 grant towards a home installation, but I don't think that includes the Tesla wall charger, so I'm looking at...

Hi all, I'm currently waiting for delivery of my inventory 75D and I've had a sudden change of heart! I went for the 21" grey turbines, but am thinking the silver ones would look better (midnight silver). I even think 19" might be better as I hear the range, ride quality and tyre longevity are...

So having just missed out on a car this weekend, I secured a deposit on a car (75D) earlier this week. Only to receive an email today to say they've underpriced the car by £5k! They've priced it as a 2 wheel drive instead of AWD. Therefore blah blah we'll meet you halfway at £2,500 extra...
