This was said to be due to Autopilot but may be driver error, Still a jump of 30 ft onto the roof of an E class is pretty spectacular.

Hi guys , Just thought it would be worth starting a thread in preparation for the arrival of the first model X into the UK. I have a MX on order which my office have just started to approach insurers to get a feel for the likely cost to insure .Early indications are insurers haven't got a...

Come to Telford! Tesla looking for a possible UK location after setting foot in Germany

Hi All... We're crossing the Pond again for a visit and had so much fun with fellow rEVolutionaries (mostly from SpeakEV, though @dpeilow is a TMC and SpeakEV guy (like me)) that we wanted to see if we can do another Social and Drinks. This time, Clapham. Due to a Personal issue, we had to...

Dear all, We are a group of students from Aarhus School of Business and Social Sciences in Denmark. We are looking for participants to take part in a one on one interview about what motivates consumers (you guys) to buy a Tesla. Personal details will be kept anonymous and confidential...

IS anybody affected by the rumoured changes? Company car drivers facing significant tax hike

Tesla officially announces end of free Supercharging, new ‘Supercharging credit program’ starts in 2017 I suppose it was always going to happen. Just another reason for me to be pleased I've ordered.

If you were to upgrade your battery from 60 to 75 then Tesla change the badges on the car which made me wonder if they would be able to de-badge the car? I find the Model S and 60 too much on the back of the car, debadging gives a clean look. There was no option on the design studio but maybe...

Is it me or is the fold flat second seat a bit lame. If only the back of the seat folds flat then it just adds space by pilling stuff on the seat. Perhaps the pictures on line just don't demonstrate the feature right but in all my cars this has allways been done better than this.

More info on the selling page, but as it's not country specific, just posting a link to it here for anyone potentially interested: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/for-sale-united-kingdom-south-east-fully-loaded-tesla-model-s-p90d-with-ludicrous-mode.80370/

I have a month old Model S60D. Ive noticed a couple of time when sitting in the car when its charging that i have heard a clunk/thump from the front of the car. usually after having been sat there for ten mins or so . Today however at a red traffic light i felt/heard it again. anyone got any...

Being a newbie to EVs, its a minefield when it comes to home charging. I've had a browse through past posts with regards to home chargers and I'm still a bit confused. I'm thinking of getting a pod-point charger installed but I was wondering what the point of the Tesla Mobile Connector is? Do...

Following the amazing announcement over night which all customers with new orders or orders yet to be produced. I called my delivery specialist and ask what effect that would have on existing orders. It sounds like we will have to pay the additional £2400 if you paid £2200 for your order of...

I have been looking for a used Tesla, and the recent drop to the UK site of a few used and up and coming inventory has got me thinking that for the UK market the used prices feel a little inflated. I don't see many used shifting that quickly, if at all in the main, and although the US prices...

So ... if V2Grid was available I could charge at work and then use, say, 10kWH [from teh car's battery] in the evening to power the house, and still have enough SoC to get to work the following day (depending on commute length, of course). If I had a PowerWall I could "dump" more power, once I...

Hi Guys, I wondered if anyone else had received a phone call from Tesla on friday regarding 5 seat Model X configuration which is now unavailable with none air suspension? I was offered to pay £1100 to upgrade to SAS. I politely told them that I ordered the car without SAS as i didn't think...

The 60kw battery option for the X has been discontinued and no longer appears on the Tesla Motors configurator in the UK or the US. Glad I ordered when I did because the 75 took the car over the price point I could live with for a second car. My guess is that the 60 was just there to build...

Good Morning All, I just drove past what used to be the classic car garage on the Hogarth roundabout and saw a big "tesla coming soon" sign. I guess it's a store rather than a service centre but hopefully will come with a few more super chargers.

Got chatting to an owner 2 weeks ago at Tesla Heathrow who has a pre facelift Model S. He mentioned that the new look hadn't been well received and that Tesla were looking at going back to something more like the original front. Anyone else heard about this?

I just got my MS back from having new car detailing done by Justin at exclusivecarcare.co.uk. The service included single stage paint correction followed by applying ceramic paint protection (GTechniq Crystal Serum Light + Exo). I also opted for glass and rim treatments, but did not go for any...

My 60D came with summer tyres (Michelin Primacy 3), so I'm now wondering about winter driving. I know winter tyres have been discussed many times in the Model S forums, but the advice there is mainly for NA drivers who get a lot of snow. I can't decide whether to just replace the Primacys with...

During June/July 2016, Tom from Sunnydale CA and I from Brisbane Australia swapped Teslas and homes for three weeks. This worked very well for both of us - see Home and Tesla swap . I am now interested in swapping to the UK or Ireland June/July 2017 - any takers?

Good evening. I just wondered if anyone in the UK has had V8 arrive as yet. Nothing here at present. I'm looking forward to the new music player design in particular.

I'm due to pick up my S60D next Tuesday, and I got the car's registration number from my DS yesterday. However, it's not recognised by any insurers, or by DVLA's online vehicle checker. The car is a lease. Does anyone know if it's common for a new plate to take some time to be recognised by DVLA?

Hoping there might be a Sarky here who could give me some advice. A few years ago our meter was moved. Turned out that we had a 4-core supply cable, with two wires shorted for each of Live and Neutral (to spread the load, rather than originally having installed a fatter cable, I presume). At...

Hi all New to forum... I've been considering buying a new Model S 75 and my local showroom said today that there is a significant price increase coming on the 1st October, owing to the post Brexit $/£ exchange rate. This absolutely makes sense (my business buys mainly US product and we're...

Hi All, I am a long time lurker and have now finally signed up! I am about to place an order for the Model S after putting a deposit down on the new panamera. I took a Tesla out on a test drive and I was sold on Tesla so the Panamera is not going ahead now . The knowledge and information on the...

If your anything like me you will likely be looking every day for news on the start of the right hand drive model X production. In some respect its the knowledge that actual production has started even if mine isn't scheduled. As the Uk had the first opportunity to order a right hand drive X,s...

After some ideas from the UK owners on insuring a Telsa, what sort of numbers people had to pay, some insurers offering better deals than others or....? Am aged nearly 51, do 18,000 miles a year or just under, no convictions for at least 5 years and a no claims bonus well over 10 years. Not a...

Now that I've got my MS and my home charger installed, I've realised that we're currently on a variable tariff for our electricity (Tariff rate: 13.301p) and I suspect I could do a lot better than this given that I will now be charging a car up overnight! Can anyone recommend a good...

The supercharger at Exeter Sainsbury's has been permanently removed and is being replaced with generic 11 kW charging posts. While the value of having superchargers in a supermarket carpark is somewhat dubious, it's a little worrying that this is happening without a proper replacement ready...

Has anyone else had any issues connecting their MS to BT wifi at home? I've tried at both our houses (both running the latest BT Home Hub) and the car simply won't connect! I can see the networks, but when I enter the wifi password it tries then fails to connect. Any magic tricks? Thanks, Dom.

I was reading a posting in the main tesla site in which members mentioned the price of autopilot had increased by $500 without any mention from Tesla. I thought I would check the tesla uk site an it's true the price has now increased in the uk by £400 to £2600 or £3k if enabled after receipt of...

Hi, I am looking for a local Basingstoke Model S owner who would like to help promote sustainable transport by joining 3 of us travelling to a gliding event on 3rd Sept. In exchange for providing the transport to the event (70 miles round trip from Basingstoke) we would welcome the...

I have a P90dL MX on order. Will be upgrading to P100D first thing in am. :-)

Well I thought I would move the topic to something close to our hearts the UK Weather. :) I have 2 concerns for the interior of the MX pre delivery. 1. How am I going to protect those glossy seat backs from my children and wayward adults :p 2. I am not a fan of carpet for foot mats especially in...

i thought I would start a new discussion about this subject as it was mentioned in another of my threads. Although I am not considering external wrapping I really want to protect those gloss backs on the seats with a clear film or wrap has anyone else thought about this or looked into it.

I just wanted to share some advice. When ordering your home charger, under gov subsidy I recommend paying extra £100 and upgrade to 32amp type 2 as government will only pay for 16amp version. Also order without fixed cable which means you can order different cables and lengths. I chose polar...

I'm new to EV's and collect my P90D next week. I'm aware of the Ecotricity network and their newly introduced £6 charge for 30 mins, but what other non-Tesla charging alternatives are there and how extensive are the networks? Thanks, Dom.

...except for ppl with overpriced Ecotricity domestic electricity. I know I haven't bothered since they started charging 6GBP a visit. So much so in fact I dont even know if the charge bays are now mostly empty. competition needed.

Hi, Collecting my new P90D on Thursday next week (excited!) and am starting to think about charging at home. Excuse the newbie question, but what charger and supply do I need to have installed to get a decent charge rate at home? At the moment, my only option is a standard 13amp plug socket...

I am very excited having placed my order for my dream Model X a couple of weeks ago. Would love to hear from others in the order queue so we can share our experiences as we wait for the cars to arrive. I ordered an MX 60D with 6 seats in Blue with black leather interior, black headliner, pup...

Hi all, I live in Rainham Kent, and currently see lots of Model S's on the road around where I live. Our main car is an Audi SQ5 but I also drive a fully electric Yellow Renault Twizy to and from the station every day and on a few occasions have been in a procession with a Model S, one had...

Good Evening All, I know that all of the 85kw is not available to power the car but I was very surprised today. I finished a trip with exactly 50% power remaining and had previously charged to 100%. When I looked at the trip stats I was amazed to see that my "power used since last charge" was...

Anyone else here on TMC in the UK has the thank you for the Model 3 reservation? I ordered on 31st March and I love to know if these are being sent to others beyond the 31/1st April period. Also made a quick video too ...

Hi, Very close to pushing the button on MS60 but very basic level spec and consider the options later. My P/Ex will cover the 30% deposit and the monthly PCP payments are £324 per month for 24months using online calculator on the Tesla site. It is the smooth drivetrain that is selling it along...

Running the numbers it is certainly that all the man maths hasn't helped, can't see there is much in it overall, if going non-ICE then it is just the petrol/diesel savings per mile = to the cost of your electricity per KwH at home/work, those being the two main points of charging the battery for...
