    Flawless AP1 drive, perfect auto wipers and high beam

    My first extended drive using all the tech. M6, A50, back through Jodrell Bank A and B roads. Auto steer was absolutely perfect, and so were the auto wipers and auto high beams. Very clever, those - reacting immediately to oncoming cars and staying off at the first sight of taillights. The...

    Model S Winter Heating

    This will be the first winter with a Model S - how mild a UK winter will be is anyone;s guess, though I have always been intrigued by the section in the manual: "Using seat heaters to keep warm is more efficient than heating the cabin. To automatically limit the amount of power that the...

    Stopping on a steep hill

    i recently stopped on a steep hill in Calpe Spain trying to gauge a gap to get through. As soon as I took my foot off the brake to press the excellerator to go forward the cat started to roll back. Then the car just lurched forward into a brick wall. I had no control what’s so ever on the Hill...

    Hi everyone. I'm about to go on holiday for a fortnight which will mean leaving my MS85 idle. I don't have a home charger yet (hopefully within a month) so rely on the nearby supercharger at Westfield.

    Custom build or inventory car?

    Hi all, I posted earlier regarding the free charging situation. Thanks for the advice. I'm in a fortunate position in that I'm being offered a very nice new company car – if it's a Tesla it'd be a P100D (I'm agonising between that and the new Panamera Hybrid Turbo ST). If I do get go with the...

    Big price cut on my Model X order

    How terrible is your DAB reception?

    Hello, I know DAB gets a bad rep generally, but any vehicle install of a DAB radio that I've done has always worked surprisingly well. I use an on-screen antenna that costs all of a tenner in my Kia Sorento, for example, and it can hold a solid lock on Radio 4 extra for my whole commute without...

    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.
