I ordered mine 30 seconds after it was announced, over 2 yrs ago :-( Has anyone had any hints as to when RHD deliveries might commence .. ??

Personally I could see the yoke working ok on a cruise/fast road and could probably adapt just fine, and I like the cleaner look onto the dash and the view beyond. BUT at lower speeds, reversing, 3+ point turns this is going to be a nightmare. For example I frequently do a reverse turn looking...

So, I’ve been enjoying an MS Raven/performance for the past few weeks and have been patiently waiting for it to auto update from its current V9 / 2019.32.2.4 to V10. Despite trying to force it to check for an update by holding the ‘advance’ button in the ‘software’ page, and ensuring 4+ bars...

I’m curious to know if there are other folks out there having fun n games trying to get Tesla UK to delivery up a CPO Model S, 2 months after paying the deposit. Since securing the car online, its been a non stop tale of woe with appallingly bad communication. The photos that eventually turned...

Scenario:- I’m looking at buying a used MS. First registered in late March 2017, one private owner, but now but being sold by a 3rd party car dealer who is seemingly unaware of the possibility of the original free-supercharging for life aspect when ordering an MS back in 2016 / 7. I know that...

I've just had this automated email alert from ebay. Not sure what to make of this $6,500 bodykit .. Its just so full of wrong .. The images are all badly photoshopped !! (eg, front and rear photos of the car feature the same scenery but mirrored) Starts off with spilling pistakes in the...

I've had the use of a P85+ the past few weeks whilst Tesla fault find an intermittent charging problem on my Roadster. The car is 3 months old, 3k miles on it. However, I've experienced numerous faults with the sat-nav, poor 3G signal related problems, radio controls ignoring button requests...

A week ago I spent a Sunday afternoon belting around the Top Gear test track here in the UK .. in a Roadster 2.5 with 30k miles on it .. giving paying members of the public 3 laps flat out with plenty of accelerating, tyre squealing and harsh braking late into corners. On track were a dozen...

. The UK Model S Launch was held today at The Crystal in the heart of London Docklands area, over the river Thames from the Millennium Dome, aka the O2 arena. Below are a few photos from the day, albeit from a cell phone. Despite threats of thunderstorms the weather held off all...

Err, that would be me ! I specifically wanted to improve the FM radio reception as the stock aerial is next to useless, but do it without drilling holes in the existing bodywork. I also didn't like the appearance of the stock Tesla solid roof and wanted to keep the car looking low and sleek...

. I'm surprised no other Brits on here have reported that Autocar published a full roadtest on Model S P85+ just last week !! Page scans of the entire article are here :- First full UK road test of Model S with hi-res page scans

. Below are scans of the first full road test of a Model S, reproduced with written permission of the editor of Autocar | First for car news and car reviews (The Autocar article reproduced below is not available online in the same layout/format.) The car gets a great overall...

. Here below are medium resolution scans of the UK Autocar article featuring the Model S Vs Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panemera TDi of in its first big feature article seen over here. Reproduced by kind written permission of the editor of Autocar | First for car news and car reviews...

As a change to Model S news and Stock predictions, I thought I'd put up a random post about my 1985 "home computer" made by Tesla … Bratislava :biggrin: Bit of background to this :- For my sins, I have written numerous computer games over past 30 yrs, mostly in machine code, starting...

Does anyone have a working 70amp HPC for sale that they no longer need after upgrading from a roadster to Model S ?! Long shot, but worth a try ! If so, or you know of the equivalent from Clipper Creek, then please drop me a PM. Thanks.

Interesting 18 minute review of an SLS Electric 4WD being driven and slid around a wet circuit, with an interesting technical discussion with the lead engineer. 750bhp, quad motor, and equivalent EU price of about $600,000 … Mercedes SLS Electric Drive. Can Volts Ever Match Pistons? -...

For sale:- 4 brand new, unused lightweight Alloy wheels for a Tesla Roadster, still in original boxes, and supplied with Pirelli winter/snow tyres, balanced ready to fit. These are in the UK, but happy to ship where ever, at buyers cost. As far as I can recall theses were about £1,800 a...

Anyone else using their Roadster daily despite the snow ? Below are a few photos with the sun bringing out the blue of the car against a mild dusting of snow earlier in the day. Shortly after this it got more far more severe, even so the traction control seems to be better than any ICE...

Not sure if this is a re-post, but hey .. Whilst watching Model S vids on youtube, I came across the full length version of "WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR" ! Seems it was uploaded 2 days ago. Not sure if its legit, or if it will be pulled for IPR reasons, but if you've never seen it here...

Not sure if this has been posted up yet, but it’s the first Model S write-up I've found, in Motor Trend, and they give it a major thumbs up :- " So is it the best car in the world? This fourth production example built may not be, but I'd rank it among the top few percentile and at the rate...

Since my car is now out of warranty, I've upgraded the ESS with the newer 7.5ah 18650s from Panasonic. Seems like a 3 day charge has produced an excellent result :- :wink:

Looks like the UK is about experience widespread petrol rationing in the wake of some ridiculous union action just in time for the national Easter holidays, not helped by the govt increasing fuel taxation as well. Last time this happened I remember roads being remarkably empty of cars and...

I am unsure what Tesla's policy will be on potential customers requesting custom paint colours, or perhaps asking to use some of the stunning metallic and chromatic paint effects that are now available. When I ordered my Roadster the company said it would be no problem to use any Dupont...

I'm keen to find out what styling direction people would choose if they could combine the large Model S touch-screen and dash pod with one of the 10 contemporary interiors show below. They include various materials, centre armrests, cubby holes, cup holders, and colour schemes, but unfortunately...

I'm seriously looking forward to seeing a Model S in the flesh, but based on photos there's a few design quirks that I'm unsure about. Perhaps others on this forum can offer their opinions :- Firstly, whenever I see a photo of the Model S side on, my eye catches upon the strip of something...

I haven't had my Roadster that long and last week was the first time I've needed to do a long journey right on the range limit of the car, as well as use any kind of public charge-up point. So I've decided to write it up for anyone that might be interested - even though this doesn’t compare to...

Does anyone have any record of a Roadster motor being replaced or failing ? From what I can tell, the motor appears to be amazingly bullet proof. As we've seen this past week the ESS 'brick' incident was more about neglect than any genuine fault. Even so, this makes it a 1 in 2,500...

If you're going to have falcon/gullwing doors for the reasons Elon mentioned in the gigaom interview (advantages in carparks and tight garages) then how come there's still a normal opening door on the front that just looks plain odd next to it ? I was hoping that something like my mock up...

One thing that is bugging me is the amount of road noise in the cockpit of a Roadster 2.5 with the soft-top on above about 60mph, especially when cruising at 80mph'ish which I do quite a lot of. At the moment it seems a bit pointless using audio system or trying to make a call, and on long...

This is a long time lurker's first post … be gentle! I have a Roadster 2.5 due to arrive in a few weeks time, and I'm counting the days. Below are a few questions that I'm curious about to which I cant find answers from older threads, although I can see the subject area has been discussed...
