2022 Tesla Model Y - Long Range – All Wheel Drive £44,000 – should be the cheapest MY in the UK (based on this site) Available ~12th April due to move abroad - car located in Aberdeen, but car will also be in Wirral/Chester area in 1-2 weeks, so available to pick from there as well. Long...

As an experiment I reduced the tyre pressure on my MY (19in Gemini wheels) to around 37 from 40 today - from a first drive it felt like the ride comfort was much improved, to the point where I was really happy with it (I've been finding the ride overly stiff, especially with the condition of the...

They do look like that, but claim on the website to be a new style to cover the rim below. Thanks for the recommendation on the WAO covers, any idea if they are available in the UK yet?

https://www.kwikdeals.co.uk/tesla-model-y-wheels-covers-for-19-inch-wheels Has anybody on here ordered these / can give any feedback on them? Quite a bit cheaper then the Rimetrix Laminars, and they cover the whole wheel so you don't get a silver ring

I'm selling my Model S 19' grey turbine winter wheel set - listed on ebay at the link below. I'm open to offers if anyone is interested, please feel free to DM me on here! Collection is from Aberdeen https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255428473744?mkevt=1&mkcid=16&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

The Wh/mi is just a reference value, you should just leave this as default unless you are towing a trailer or something which is going to impact your efficiency

It's coming up as £54,000 base price for me as well, but the total price it shows at the bottom of the screen is still £54,990. Perhaps a bug on the website?

Has anyone been able to confirm the battery size on the MYs delivered so far? I recall some debate earlier in this thread on if the cars would have the older 75KWh battery, or the new 79KWh battery.

I use it on a granny charger, and it works great. Depending on how much you need to charge, a granny charger with IO can in some ways be better because the car will often start charging earlier in the evening to reach the target charge level, so you will get cheap electricity all through the...

Check out tesla-info.com for some more data points on this: https://tesla-info.com/tesla-depreciation.php?model=M3&variant=Long+Range+AWD&year=2021&country=GB Very much looks like 2021 M3LRs are continuing to hold their value really well!

I think this is a great point, thanks. The thoughts along these lines from you and others definitely has me leaning towards buying. This is also a good point - if we use leasing company prices as an indicator of depreciation then it looks like they are confident that used prices will be strong...

What does everyone think on Model Y depreciation in 4 years time (crystal balls to the ready)? I'm trying to work out whether leasing might be a good option for my order, as the prices seem really competitive. By my spreadsheet a Model Y spec'd to cost £57k would have to still be worth £33k or...

I leave scheduled charging turned on to start at 23:30, so even if there is a failure in one of the above the car should still charge. Having said that, I think Octopus stop this scheduled charge shortly after it starts if was not in their planned window, so still a chance of not being fully...

That's not what I said or the point being debated..

Care to elaborate? EV's are certainly not zero impact but I think there are clear environmental benefits over ICEs.. unless you believe global warming is a hoax?

I asked about changing retrofitting a carbon fibre interior, Tesla UK said it was possible, at a cost of around £1000 I think. I didn't go ahead with it once I got the car, as I was happy enough in the end with the wood effect.

I've noticed the same thing - not sure on what causes it, I wonder if its based on sections where there is a central reservation and exit is only via slip road, vs. sections where you there are gaps in the central reservation that allow you to turn right across the opposite lane?

Now that they are booking some HW3 upgrades, I'm wondering if it would be worth buying the FSD upgrade for my 2017 S with EAP.... anyone know if there are any differences in autopilot performance yet with HW3 (beyond visualisations)? I know my car won't drive itself any time soon, but I'm...

I do quite a few Aberdeen-Liverpool trips (obviously shorter than you are planning!) in an early 2017 75D Model S and find it to be an ideal and comfortable long range cruiser. I'd recommend a 90D to give that extra bit of range for regular long trips. An early 2017 model with free...

Apparently on that front there are plans in the works for superchargers in Aberdeen, Inverness, and Fort William... no idea on timing though...

I was chatting with a Tesla tech last week who told me a Service Centre should be coming to Aberdeen soon, hopefully opening around April/May this year. Backing this up I also came across this article online Standalone EV service centre for Aberdeen Good news for any owners or future owners in...

I've found especially for longer journeys its better not to really look at how many miles you 'should' be getting at all, and to instead just use the car sat nav or a better route planner for planning. I've found them to be very accurate, with the car being slightly more conservative and a...

Used inventory is back online now. Hopefully that might mean they have fixed the invoicing issues....?

If you would like to go the raspberry pi route, you might want to look at Home Assistant. This is an open source home automation system, but also has a Tesla integration. This would be running locally, and you can setup a display on a £35 fire tablet/old phone to do things like unlock the car...

My 75d I ordered earlier this year was delivered uncorked (despite the 4.2s 0-60 time advertised). A Tesla ranger came and uncorked it a week or so later for me, but I would ask the service center you are getting the car delivered to if they can double check and uncork if required to save...

I ordered a new-to-me MS 75d earlier this year (in the UK). No communication for 3-4 days... but then I got a call asking for confirmation which service centre I would like the car delivered to (Edinburgh in my case), and was booked to pick it up a few days later. Car was in showroom condition...

It looks like they've dropped the price of FSD again (I have a 2017 MS AP2 with EAP)! Is it worthwhile for this price? I'm thinking it might be to get the new FSD computer upgrade, which should hopefully improve existing EAP features if nothing else.

I hope this might be useful in case anyone else has the same issue... I was getting quite severe phantom braking the last few months, as well as the "Red hands / Cruise not available" messages at times. It seemed to be worse around hills. I discussed with the Edinburgh service center who have...

That sounds like a fantastic deal to me - congratulations!

I find exactly the same thing (AP2 Model S, 2019.20), it can be quite uncomfortable going past large trucks. I recently had an AP1 loaner which seemed better centered in the lane. It also seemed to move the right of the lane when going past large trucks, but I didn't test it enough to be sure...

I signed. Currently the only EVs available which are practical for long range trips are over 40k. It may not be a huge cost in the grand scheme of things, but I think it is important psychologically. Free tax and cheap charging are nice incentives to encourage people towards greener transport...

Even if Tesla were to go bankrupt I don't think it would mean the end of Tesla - The tech and the brand recognition are too valuable (I hope) and they would be bought by one of the bigger car manufacturers. I don't think this would put me off buying a car from Tesla now.

I tried getting a Cuvva quote - they will only insure vehicles valued up to £40k, so no-go for a Tesla loaner. I just got a quote from my insurance company which is coming in at £80 for 2 weeks cover.

Hi All, my car is going in for a service tomorrow and I'm getting a loan car from Tesla. They have just told me that the loaner will only come with 3rd party insurance (which I am a bit surprised about to be honest). I'm a bit nervous about driving around in an £80k car with only 3rd party...

Good point, thanks - I'm on 2019.8.6

I had the same debate earlier this year. Its really difficult to say what might happen with pricing but Tesla is still leading the pack with electric cars so I dont necessarily think prices will drop significantly. I think the timing of any refresh is tricky as well, it could be anytime from a...

Fully appreciate its an improving system, the beauty of it is that hopefully it will keep getting better and better! In particular I was wondering if other owners notice if the car normally sits in the centre of the lane on motorways or not? I remember reading one thread a while back which...

Hi all, I did my first long drive using autopilot, 6hrs from Aberdeen to Chester in my AP2.0 Model S. This was my first chance to really test the system. Overall AP was really good to have and felt like the journey was less tiring, but outside of the obvious limitations there were a few...

This page has a good overview of the options: Charging at home guide I've just had a home charger installed last week, I went for a Rolec 32A charger. Whichever charger you go for you can set the time at which charging will start and the maximum charge percentage in the car / Tesla app. I went...

I've been waiting for my AP2 Model S to update to the latest version for a while and came across these simple instructions to do a reboot, which can apparently help: Discover a new trick to get software updates Three hours later, my car is now updating :D

Do you have AP2.0 or AP2.5? I'm wondering which features my AP2.0 car is going to get..... :)

I've just got a used 75d Model S direct from Tesla, and haven't had any home charging for 1 month now while waiting for installation. I'm lucky enough to have a public charger a few minutes from my house though, which has the added benefit of being free in Scotland - if you haven't got anything...

I have the same - FSD option gone completely...

Elon tweeted that "Everyone who bought Enhanced Autopilot will get Navigate on Autopilot on highways, advanced summon & autopark" I can't wait to see if my AP2 Model S will get these.... Elon Musk on Twitter

Home Assistant is the system that I use running on my Pi (Home Assistant). It is open source and anyone could add a new 'component' (such as electricity prices from Octopus). This hasn't been done yet for any UK companies yet, but has for a few for US Power Companies. Using the already built in...

I also see Octopus provides an API that can give the Agile tariff's half hour rates 24hours in advance - what would be really interesting (maybe a good challenge if anyone knows how to code?) would be a Home Assistant component that provides these half hour rates. You could then potentially...

Hi All, I've just got my Tesla last week (thanks to all on here who gave some really useful advice in making the decision!). I use Home Assistant running on a £35 raspberry pi to manage my 'Smart Home' - if you're fairly tech savvy its very easy to setup all kinds of automations. There is...

Unfortunately the M3 won't work for us - we have a dog who needs to be able to ride in the boot, so need the hatchback design of the S

Thanks for all the advice! It's an S I'm looking at. Not in a huge rush, but the 75d is near the top of my budget so one worry would be that the only option going forward is the 100d. On the otherhand I'll be a bit surprised if they remove the 75d price range option completely and it might be a...

I was quite close to pulling the trigger on an inventory 75D... now I'm not sure, do I wait for potential new battery tech, or get a 75d quick before all the inventory stock is gone... any advice from anyone on that conundrum?
