    Drove Model X today - what a car!

    I finally test drove a Model X today. Oh my gosh WHAT A CAR! You drive it and then it's game over for all the other shitty cars we drive. Tesla is light years ahead of everyone else. I was impressed more by regenerative breaking than the acceleration or autopilot maybe because I was expecting...

    Model S and X dimensions living in London

    Thanks Carl. I love the feature. But I do less than 5K miles a year of which probably 4000 are driving in London so AP is not a must have now as I have a tight budget and need to give up something. I can add it later on

    Model S and X dimensions living in London

    My wife has always been the environmental champion of the family and she likes Tesla. However she is concerned that she will drive an expensive car and she always hated Big bulky Chelsea tractors. Indeed SUVs have never been an option in our family although she recognises the practicality. So...

    Model X 75D range and boot space

    Hi there I am thinking to order a Model X 75D (5 seater) instead than a Model S. I do less than 5K a year so range should not be an issue as I mainly drive in London. However I wanted to ask what is the real life range you are getting from a Model X by driving in town and on a road trip. I am...

    Model S and X dimensions living in London

    Thanks guys. I am now thinking to order an X rather than an S given we have two small kids one of which is 9 months - these falcon wings will save my back in the next 4-5 years I am not thinking to get autopilot as I drive 4-5k m per year and mainly in London. I can always add it later on if I...

    Ordered Model X today!

    Thanks CotswoldS3X By the way I don't know if you live there but I love the Cotswolds. Would your referral give me free superchargers? I read people saying you need special referral code. I was under the impression any RC gives you £750 discount and free superchargers. Can I also ask you...

    Ordered Model X today!

    Hi Thanks for this thread. I did not know you can delay the delivery. How long can you delay it for and would they honour the 1.5% interest on PCP currently on offer. I have test drive on 15th Sep and would not mind waiting till Feb/Mar next year when they pay my bonus

    Chase-mo adapter - do you really need it?

    Hello everyone I wanted to ask if buying a Chase-mo adapter is really a must. I don't need it for London but we have friends in Devon and Cornwall and went on holiday to Dorset this year where there are no superchargers. I also saw an episode of Fully Charged and could see for Ecotricity...

    Referral codes scheme - will it end?

    Hello guys One of the main reason I am thinking to order a Tesla sooner rather than later (plan was to wait Spring 2018) is that I am fearing that Elon will stop the free superchargers with referral code as they increase sales and overall with the launch of the Model 3. Asked the sales guys...
