    Model X - Y : up or downgrade??

    Yeah 90d to MYLR… huge increase in range and charge speed. Y is quieter and is more comfy in the city. Deffo motorway chatter is a tiny bit better handled by X.

    Model X - Y : up or downgrade??

    Raven suspension may be better than the pre-raven build… it still is smoother than the y in certain places but the Y handles potholes, speed bumps and surprise hits way better than the X. The X is great for smoothing out motorway chatter but the X is WAY louder and less refined. Range wise...

    Model X - Y : up or downgrade??

    got the y on an overnight loan. Y is - Much quieter Way more usable space Better seat split + arm rest (2/3 split vs 2/2/2) Suspension shines where x falls down and vice versa Longer range Faster charging Smaller (city) Roof bars vs tow (tie) Acceleration and breaking far better X is -...

    Model X - Y : up or downgrade??

    Hi everyone I’ve had a model X 90 D since 2017 (built 2016). We wanted a large EV and used to have to lug a whole lot of stuff around. Now requirements is for 2 adults / one kid, city driving with occasional long trips (France) and sometimes bikes on back. As MX is 6 years old /40k miles...

    Crazy high residuals

    Would like to stay EV but no offstreet parking. Enjoyed it but practical issues of getting power are frustrating. As neighbours buy PHEVs access to lamposts gets far tougher which is a shame as conversely super chargers have been everywhere I need them Tempted to go for a PHEV whilst govt...

    Existing owners with lease deals and ‘odd’ models

    Turns out it’s worth way more than the balloon payment. Very impressed.

    Crazy high residuals

    I bought an MX 90D with premium cabin options, price came in at £100k on PCP with balloon after 4 years of £50k. Checked the auction sites and they’ll offer me £63k for it. I’m a few months before the lease ends but that’s incredible. So at the end I’ll have paid £37k for an MX for 4 years...

    Model X -> PHEV : Regrettably after 4 years

    Literally my EV experience or it’s going that way. Mostly I can leave on a lamppost when I need to but occasionally drive round. Range or Landy PHEV in a year for me.

    Model X -> PHEV : Regrettably after 4 years

    Living with an EV with shared lamppost charging hasn’t been easy for the past few years but it’s been worth it due to the environment, the car and the overall experience. Pleasantly there’s been a huge rise in EVs using the local infrastructure but it’s become impossible to rely on getting a...

    A303 for sure. Norton park doesn’t cut it and to a different point above it is unreliable as always busy when you need it. Amesbury would be ace!

    Teslafi tips for new users

    Handing your login credentials to anyone is a bad idea, especially an organisation you know nothing about, and even more so with a car that can be remotely unlocked.

    Random car alarms on MX

    Yeah have had random alarms a few times. Had to deactivate at one point and they looked at it remotely, asked about whether internal lights were on etc. Happened ages ago. Only other time has been more recently parking under the flight path in airport parking. Went off dozens of times a day

    +1 - You know it’s bad when you’re thrilled that a random diner puts in two extortionate chademo points.

    Thanks for your responses. I figured it wouldn’t be so clear cut. I’ll put it to the back of my mind for the next 3 years.

    Existing owners with lease deals and ‘odd’ models

    Hi all Seeing all the prices changes and configuration movements I’ve been wondering about the depreciation on my MX 90D and what happens at the end of my 4 year pcp in 2022. Whilst I think i got a good pcp deal (at the time), inventory discount, 0% for 4 years, amazing trade in value. On the...

    Suis-je fou de roadtrip à la France rurale ?

    Firstly. Thank you ever so much for responding. English is my mother tongue, and yes I agree it’s probably better for all if we spare everyone the terrible French from the translation tool. I’ve now established that I can get to the destination we need to, which is great. I have a couple of...

    Suis-je fou de roadtrip à la France rurale ?

    Bonjour je suis en utilisant un service de traduction lanugage afin d'excuses pour les erreurs. Je suis en voyage en août pour la France (Cherves-Châtelars, 16310, France) via le tunnel. Il serait amusant à conduire dans le Tesla (au lieu de voler) mais je m'inquiète de la charge à/près de...

    MX Tow Bar Socket?

    Asked the service centre they said a 7->13 pin socket could be bought for a few quid at Halfords. I haven’t followed that up yet. Am trying to figure out best bike rack myself. Hence my question to the SC..

    Family charging point and daisy chain public chargers

    @arg Thank you very much. Helped me get it all sorted. CHAdeMO should help me locally alongside some creative parking. Also going for a 50m custom 3pin with dry box for my weekend stints. Cheers!

    Family charging point and daisy chain public chargers

    Truth be told I bought the thinner one 16A (caravan cable) from amazon and that’s how I found out the connectors were a different size. So that’s going back in the morning... the weight isn’t an issue as I’ll leave it in their shed. So yes I think it’s the 32A which I’d use but probably drop...
