    Cabin Overheat Protection feature

    I have this activated in my MX and thought that it was there to keep the cabin temperature down to bearable levels in the event that I had inadvertently left children or dogs in the car. However, these last few days the temperature has been up to 48c as it cooks in the sun and I have been...

    Which Type-2 Lead / Extension?

    I'd like to carry a Type-2 lead in the car. Tesla never mentioned it at collection when I asked "Anything else I need" - I mean, I had my credit card in my hand for cripes sake! Recommendations for suppliers please (yeah, I've been to Tesla a couple of times for service and each time forgotten...

    autosteer above 55mph on motorways

    i was delighted to get the very latest software release to my tesla s 90d which i originally took delivery of at the end of march. TACC is great. I find that autosteer is possible up to 55 on A roads but on any challenging bends its simply too scary to work with. However i tried it on the...

    Should I insure another car before a M3 purchase next year?

    Hi all, As the title suggests - should I insure another car before a M3 purchase next year? To explain further - I live in London, 34 years old, don't own a car, and haven't done so since 2009. I have a M3 reserved (but only since start of December) so don't expect to get the option to...

    Tesla type 2 cable supply: no longer standard

    Hi All, I wonder has anyone else noticed that in the last few days tesla UK has changed what it supplies with cars. Previously, Tesla said "A separate Type 2 charging cable for public stations is included with the vehicle at delivery". No caveats. Now this same statement has a sub note, "For...

    Anyone in the UK received 17.7.4?

    Was wondering if it's made its way over the pond yet - and if any Brits have tried it? At the moment, it's seemingly a US only rollout... Oops - obviously I meant 17.17.4 - can't seem to edit the title of a thread once it's created!

    Switching from personal to Company/Director car. Insurance implications.

    Hi, I've got a test drive at Tesla in a couple of weeks. The cars are way over my budget however with many incentives as a company car the price comes right down (e.g. 100% tax right off in first year. Saves me 20% that would have been paid in Corporation Tax anyway). The main concern I have is...

    No ranger service in the UK

    Apparently the "ranger" service is no longer available in the UK. As I never used it, this may have been the case for some time, but to be informed you have to drive to London or Birmingham to get a trivial but irritating problem sorted is not amusing. A "ranger" service is(was) Tesla's...

    60d to 75d price changes

    Hi all, It seems that the cost to increase the 60d Model S's and Model X's has been reduced as part of the recent price changes that occurred yesterday. However, not having one myself I couldn't confirm the new prices. Is anyone on here able to confirm and share?

    Towbar bike rack for X - recommendations please?

    Despite happily taking my £750 for a towing option, Tesla do not sell their branded bike rack in Europe, and don't want to give any recommendations. All I know is the hitch comes with a 50mm ball - had to ask 3 times for that nugget! US bike racks (Yakima for example) seem to come with a...
