I have recent confirmation that the APR for hire purchase has changed from 5.9% to 3.9%. The GMFV promise has also been withdrawn because of "strong residuals on our cars". The APR change represents a significant reduction to the monthly payments for my new Model X 90D, which I am financing...

Looking at upgrading the audio (I'm a bit of a 24bit fan, NAIM at home etc) and not finding much for the UK. LH, Light Harmonics seem to have gone quiet recently and most seem to have gone custom either on their own or with their local installer in the US. Has anyone had any upgrades done in...

We had our first Hampshire TOC-UK meeting last night at Langston, near Hayling Island in Portsmouth. A couple of drinks and general chat but great to catch up with others who have interest in Tesla cars and how its future may pan out. Anyone else who wishes to join us on a monthly or bi-monthly...

The following article appeared in the Times over the weekend Electric cars mean UK could need 20 new nuclear plants It has since also turned up in the Mail and other right wing locations. '20 new nuclear power stations needed for electric cars' | Daily Mail Online Seems more than a little...

Hello to everyone on the forum and this is my first post! Just wanted to share my experience with existing and owners and particularly anyone about to order/awaiting delivery as it may help you to avoid some issues later on. I bought an inventory model in the last days of Dec 2016 and managed...

Most people have opted for the BlackVue camera range but recently other brands seemed to have come into the market with new features. For a reasonable amount it seems these devices can save so much time and hassle in the event of incidents. Any advice on brands/models ? I am based near...

Did anyone get the new software update this morning? At least my new car finally has some of the features shown to me during last years test drive, i.e. autosteer, driver assist cruise control. However i still don't seem to have any summon features or autopark!. Is it just me or are others...

I just received confirmation a couple of days ago that my Model x has exited production so I'm starting to think about all the things I need to get ahead of delivery in the next month or so. Telsa Wall Charger So, far I know that I want to get the Telsa Wall Charger, probably the cheaper 2.5m...

Hi a new PETITION is up to improve ev car incentives in the UK past the march 2017 review. Click on the link for all info: Petition: Improve category 1 plug in car grants after March 2017 review

Petition: Ensure all premises offering Electric Vehicle Chargers enforce EV only parking.

Please can you tell me how long it took from getting your In production notice on my Tesla to picking up your car? Thanks, Andrew

Ok so the pound is still not at pre-Brexit levels but as of today, $35k USD gets you £27993... if the Model 3 pricing was announced right now with Tesla using currency values as they are right now, it could be £28k. Then VAT comes into play, taking it into the low 30s, but then you can take a...

Hi, I have started a petition to improve the incentives after the March 2017 when buying a category one electric vehicle. Please could you support my petition by signing the link below. Petition: Improve category 1 plug in car grants after March 2017 review Thanks

100D now available extra 3K on top of 90D price. Which makes the upgrade cost of £6800 for a 60D to a 75D very bad value for money?????

Hello. I'm looking to change the number plates on my Tesla. I've removed the old ones and notice they are metal. Do you know where you can get these from? Thanks

Picked up S75 from Digbeth, Birmingham store. AP1/HW1 activated it is an ex-service car but looks and feels brand new.

Porsche destination charger spotted in Cape Town.

For top-up when staying with friends. Only done this once, my host had a long extension lead, we unwound it, trailed it down his drive, and put the UMC 13 AMP plug / extension socket under the car to "keep it dry" :rolleyes: That also reduces the amount of UMC "extension" available of course...

Model S is now £62,000 basic base price and spec. Today that equals $74,600 UK price for Model S up £8,600 in under 6 months.

I have ordered a 90d, and would like to put a tow bar on it. For occasional light towing, but also for bike racks instead of roof mounting. Has anyone in the uk done this, and if so who did it for you / what make of towbar did you fit? Also - a trailer or bikes will trigger the sonar sensors on...

Hello. The only issue I have with my new Model S is the storage in the cabin. I usually keep some spare bags in the front door pockets but I can't do that. Putting them it he middle just causes a head ache when I try to get to my phone. Anyone else got any solutions? Tim

About to press the button on a model s before the price goes up, and having a last minute re-consider of the battery size.... was going to get a 90d, but perhaps 75 is enough? My most demanding use-case is driving between the highlands of Scotland and London. According to evtripping.com, I'll...

Hello All. Does anyone know when the new features for AP2.0 will be enabled in the UK? Tim

Some people may know that in his time as Governor of California and ongoing Arnold Schwarzeneger has been a huge supporter of green initiatives. I recently read this article he wrote on his facebook page from 2015 and thought I would share it as he is so spot on. I don’t give a **** if we agree...

Picked up my Model S today. Really good drive back from Heathrow although a few teething issues at hangover. Hopefully it should be plain sailing from now. A couple of questions. 1) Do you know if it's possible to get a type two adaptor for the mobile cable set? 2) Is it worth getting the...

I was wondering if anybody here had managed to get a hire purchase from Tesla rather than the PCP they guide you towards in the configurator. I'm saving up for as big a down payment as possible for the Model 3 to keep the monthly payments down, and I'm hoping there won't be that big a price to...

Browsing the so called I've just noticed that the quick connection phone dock is listed under the premium upgrades pack, had this always been the case? I thought it was a separate accessory to purchase.

Hi All, I'm looking to take delivery of my Model S 60D in the next few weeks, finally! I've read about common issues at delivery but wondered if there was a more UK based source of info for delivery checks. Common issues to keep an eye out for. I'm looking to get mine professionally...

I'm just ordered my Tesla S 90D. I've got a few questions. Is anyone near Hertford happy for me to buy them a coffee? Tim

For me I would like to see a Supercharger in Brighton and Poole/Bournemouth.

Just noticed a planning application that Tesla Motors Ireland Inc. have put in for a proposed Service Plus building (car showroom and repair outlet) in Unit 92 Bracken Road, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18. Detailed planning application with proposals here: Google PDF Planning report 1...

Wicklow chosen for first “Tesla Destination Charging” point - Industry News

Is there a list of the "opening soon" sites? Hoping to see the A1 get involved in the action soon.. Screenshot taken from Supercharger | Tesla Europe

Hi, need some help please. Had a puncture tonight in my model s. Managed to limp to a kwikfit and they have said they cannot replace the tyre and that Tesla need to do it as it's a special process. Had to leave my car there and get the train home as nearest Tesla garage had gone home. Anyone...

Can anyone recommend a place in London to get one of my allow wheels refurbished? Scraped a curb avoiding someone coming into my lane left a 6 inch rash round the rim.

I've read several (USA-based) threads and confused myself - seems that snow-capable and cold + water/ice-capable with reasonable snow-capability are different things. Since my first, very revealing, drive to ski resort up a snow-covered mountain road on Winter tyres we have put Winter tyres on...

We have some static on Radio 4 FM, its not all the time, might be area related, and not noticeable (or not anything like as much) on other FM channels. Tesla have attempted to fix this (they talked about an additional shielding "fix" that was used on cars that had problems), but we haven;t...

Anyone know where I can rent, at a cheap price, a Tesla from the 17th for a week? I have Teslaitis and I can't stand the thought of renting an ICE car while my Tesla sits in my garage at home in Toronto. I've seen prices ranging from 1300-1700 Pounds but that is way too expensive. That's...

Just saw this on supercharge.info "changes" list as of 02-Dec - its not showing [as Open] on their Data list, nor map, as yet Hilton Hotel (I think) Kingsway DD25JT Dundee 8 Superchargers, available 24/7 Its been in construction for what seems like a long time (12-Sep)

This one popped up on supercharge.info M7 Jtn 27, Coolderry, Birdhill, Co. Tipperary I notice it is called "Tipperary, Ireland" on SC, but it appears to be the county, not the town. It's about 50 km from Tipperary. You could say it's a long way.... ;)

I do have this in another thread so apologies for repeating it but I wanted to bring this to the attention of anyone with a 60D X order. Ok I got the numbers today if anyone has a 60D X on order and wants to change it to a 75D now before its made we can upgrade for an extra £7800 ok so I did...

hi guys, Just noticed yet another price increase on the Model X, out of interest this morning I reconfigured my current MX60 order to the same spec but the now the entry level 75 model . I have calculated that it is a whopping £14000 more than my order which was placed in August!! I have also...

Tesla's Website has an NB saying "Closing on 30-Nov-2016". I wonder how well that works in practice - does EV Trip Planner and Supercharger Info have any wind of such things? Also no indication on the UK Index Page on Tesla site, only when you get to the charger-specific page. I can see folk...

Ok, this is probably off topic, but, years ago I was working with a young lady who had a passion for horses. She said that it was written into common law that if an employee wanted to ride a horse to work, the employer was obliged to provide stables, water etc. for the horse. She would often...

Been told by one of the stores that UK prices will be going up again on Monday 28th Nov.

A quick question, do the Tesla Service Centres do MoT tests? I am really jumping the gun on this, but just wanted to know.
