I've recently reserved and I'm still toying about with the options, at at the moment I've got solid black, with black next gen seats and premium interior, what I can't decide is what colour headlining to go for? black seats with white headlining? black seats with black headlining? or tan seats...

So I reserved my model S at the weekend in store, I told the guy I had a referral code and he said it was fine, it could be applied afterwards. I've looked on mytesla and can see all my order details, but not a place to enter a referral code. I've email the code over the sales guy but not...

Dear All, We are doing some filming for a PBS and National Geographic Channel International documentary series and we would like to film with a Tesla car on the airstrip at Bentwaters Park (IP12 2TW) near Ipswich next week on either Thursday or Friday. We would like to use the car in an...

I know it's probably been asked / talked about already buy where are you folks charging ? im over in BOLTON and need to start reaserching best places to charge . still can't believe the nearest supercharger is in Northwich 25 miles from Manchester :cursing:

I'm just in the process of ordering my model S and the one option I'm stuck on is Premium interior... should I get it or not? So far I've got an 85D in Solid Black with Rear facing seats and Next Gen Seats (Black). The two features I like are the Power life tailgate and Fog lights... but is it...

A number of months ago I remember reading an alternative view of EVs. In a world where everyone drives EVs and has done for a hundred years, a new car in town promises to be able to refuel in minutes by using petrol and the writer is excited to be heading to test drive this new petrol car...

Anyone on here going tonight ? im going taking a mate to show him what I'm getting all excited about:biggrin:

I've started getting a few quotes in for finance, one of the contract hire deals I had in showed an excess mileage of 32ppm! Is that normal for tesla? my BMW's have usually been about 9ppm, and getting a new Tiguan in a few weeks that's 6ppm

Mine won't be here till the end of the year :crying: but I've seen one around Bury and one in the Bradshaw area of BOLTON any my local members ?

Rumor is Elon is showing up.

I saw my first ever Model S out in the wild today whilst walking along Petty France. I was beginning to think the only appear at the Westfield charging stations. My Model S is due in December and I'm doing my best to remain patient...

Is this a pretty good deal for a 70D? 60 months, 15,000 miles, 6 payments up front and £545+VAT per month. Its from the lease company that Tesla recommends.

Hi, im close to ordering my new tesla now, it seems a slightly different sale model to most cars, other than the referral bonus, are there any other deals to be done or discounts people have achieved? Thanks,

HAve just ordered my MS. Looking at charging options. Looking at Chademo adapter as I've few around where I live which has the option for DC charging with Chademo. I cant find how much it costs for the adapter. Also heard some overheating and sometimes incompatibility problems. Wondering if...

Hi Folks We'll be travelling from Belgium at the beginning of October and driving across to Somerset (Cheddar). I was just wondering how the SuC experience is there, especially as I notice the ones at Bristol are 2-stalls, so I'm guessing these are the temporary installations like we see in...

I’ve only been an owner for 2 weeks but I’m already beginning to think that there may be some worth in getting the second charger installed. I have a range limited 70D and a Chademo adapter which worked great at Chester services but I was scuppered on the A55 at Holywell (Singing Kettle...

Hi, I've currently got a BMW 330d msport touring, it's my 3rd one having moved up from a 320 & 325. I've grown quite attached to my BMWs and really went to try out the Tesla just to rule it out. Has anyone made a similar switch and what's your experience been like? What's the good points...

Hi, I am thinking of getting a 85D to use for taxi/chauffeur work. I am based in Leicestershire and am a little worried as we have no Superchargers around us at the moment. It is if I stay local that I am worried as I know if I head towards London I will find plenty. How do you find it in this...

There is a Tesla Roadster EU Signature Sport 250 Edition 290BHP 2010 (10) for sale on AutoTrader from Peter Nash Specialist cars. also can be found on Liberty Leasing's website. Looks a nice model :smile:

Saturday September 5th, Brighton sea front Brighton Speed Trials is a great British tradition. A drag race along Madeira Drive right on the edge of the beach, it started as a flying start kilometre in 1905. For a long time two cars ran side by side along the narrow road but as speeds rose it...

Looking to order 70D. Buying as ltd company car. Looking at following options Auto tech package Sun roof Next gen seats Money is ltd hence got to choose my options properly. Any advice re options and anything particularly worth. cheers

Hi, Hate to say this but feel we have been getting the same old 2nd class treatment again even though you could argue with Lotus it may have all began here? Tesla PR has used the UK pretty well but I can't see any benefits pricing wise? Model X will be 2017 for UK and amazingly priced. Model 3...

On the uk site theres 4 used Tesla for sale !!! P85

So me and my brother have just taken the plunge and put our deposits on a fully loaded 70d each :eek: loved the the test drives but still a bit anxious about everyday life with them :redface:

Does anyone know where I can find a list of official Tesla Model S accessories? Are they the same at show on the US website (apart from price that is)?

Did the factory tour with my family last week. I recommend it if you are in the San Francisco area, the factory is a pleasant 45 minute drive from SF and the tour lasts around an hour. It starts with a chance to view the Model S beta prototypes and the Roadster that featured in Iron Man's...

I've been reading some posts on another forum, and it seems that speedo accuracy on some EVs is like most ICE cars I've ever had ie about ten percent faster than it should be. These weren't Tesla owners btw. Ive checked a number of times my Tesla speedo against at least two other GPS devices...

TFL call centre just told me that they will issue a Penalty Charge Notice every time I drive in a congestion charging zone in my electric vehicle and, being exempt, do to pay the congestion charge. Each time, they said, I will have to call up to highlight the fact the car is electric and ask for...

I was driving up the M4 towards London on Saturday - intending to charge at Reading. Halfway there, I see the Reading SuC symbol on the Nav app is greyed out. Eeek! Zoom out to find this... (sorry about the quality)... Even more 'Eeek!'. Anyway, I had my CHAdeMo adaptor so I thought...

who would be prepared to let me know of any plus' and minus' re practical use of a Tesla in the county? I'm particularly thinking of charging possibilities (70, 85 or 90 the best option?), service and support, use of such a large car e.g.: side roads, car parks etc. Any input would be...

Hello all. I currently drive a 2009 Toyota Prius and have started looking at options for replacing it. Initially I was looking at plug-in hybrid options but have had my head turned by the Tesla Model S, especially as I was lucky enough to have a test drive in one a couple of weeks ago. I...

I'm sure I've seen a security package mentioned for the UK that includes glass detection, immobilisation etc, but can't see any sign of it on the website. Is this option now a standard fitment? It's a question I shall be asking once I can get over to a Sales Centre.

I see there is a new Welcome Break Services SuC at Bishops Stortford services on the M11 - open as of 3 days ago. I didn't see that one coming... and it is only 10 miles up the road. It's almost East Anglia! MW

does anyone have any experience driving on cobbled roads I live in the tops of Halifax and two routes down are cobbled which are very handy at times but worried the Tesla not suitable ???????????

Off-road trials for UK due later this year (Wired UK) I don't know how applicable this will be to Tesla, but interesting nonetheless.

Hello I am just visiting some relatives in Darlington. I have dowloaded the charge your car app, and I have tried to charge at the Darlington memorial hospital, but I have been unable to start the charger. After a lot of hassle the app at last told me to connect and start chargeing, but it...

Next month I'm due to insure my MS again after adding it onto an existing policy that had less than a year to run. I was wondering which insurance companies MS users are currently using ATM? My wife informs me that at least one large insurance company (Confused.com) still says my car does not...

I am trying to work out the possibility of owning a Tesla ? I claim business mileage 45 ppm for first 10 k and then 25 ppm for the rest I do approx 15 - 18 k a year = £6500 k /yr best case I spend approx. £200 per month of Diesel at present = £2400 / yr I spend £400 /mth at present on my car...

Can someone explain how I claim company mileage, 45 ppm and 25 ppm on fuel when I don't buy fuel. ??? I can claim £7 k + a year which may help fund the car ?

I joined the Tesla Owners Club UK Facebook group. It seems everyone is charging all over Europe on their holidays. Trips to the south of France and Italy without a care. It's a beautiful thing :)

Hi Guys, I purchased a UK RHD version of the Tesla about a year ago for use in Malta and am on an epic 3 month long road trip all throughout Europe and am ending in the UK where I will try to sell it as I am moving to a North American environment (Cayman Islands). I was wondering if anyone...

Looks like Tesla are opening a store in Weybridge. First I heard about it was a notice of the opening event. I have to say that when I was in Heathrow last week it was worryingly quiet. Do they need another store in the vicinity this soon?

On Twitter recently I have been reading tweets about just how expensive it is to repair a #Tesla MS. However, I've have seen replies that costs seem to be inline with other Aluminium luxury cars. Has anyone any experience with this? Sorry, I forgot to add to the subject In the UK market.

Looks like the MS is exempt from the new luxury car tax. How to beat the new car tax rates Cars

Hi, I'd welcome any tip-offs from our London friends regarding reasonably priced hotels in London with EV charging on premises or near by. My 70D should arrive in August and the first lengthy road trip we'll be taking involves a 225 mile trip from the Wirral to my brother - in - laws wedding at...

Excluding Supercharges, I think most agree that the network isn't reliable enough for most EV users to use for long distance travel. Knowing how long an EV has been on / still requires charging, would make charging a little less hassle. Apps have been released to tackle these questions but...

From 2017, new cars with a list price of over £40,000 will pay a supplement of £310 per year on top of the standard rate, (£0 for EVs) for five years. :mad: This particular rule will include all-electric luxury cars, like the Tesla Model S, and may also hit the Model X, which have previously...

My Tesla account tells me that my P85D is "in transit" and due at Gatwick late August, so now's the time to sort out the home charging arrangements. I live near West Malling in Kent (roughly equidistant from the Bluewater & Detling SC's), so I'm asking if anyone relatively locally has...
