Inevitable but excessive charges. More expensive per mile than petrol! Completely wrong that it is a fixed cost as different cars at different states of charge will charge at different rates, is even fixed cost no matter what the charger is capable of. Classic case of set it up for free with...

I bought the standard audio because threads I read suggested that: Standard was "poor", Premium "expensive" and maybe not superb, and as a company car there are benefits to keeping the purchase price down and "upgrading" later. I thought the standard audio might be OK, but sadly it isn't. We...

Build a model S in the configuration section, select pcp finance and you get a RVG figure. Go into the apply for PCP finance section and the RVG is less, by about 3k for my configuration meaning higher monthly payments of about £100. This has finally put me off buying. Bloody Brexit 2...

Hi Folks, New to forum, considering the above and wanted to get some real world opinions before engaging with Tesla. Currently in London but considering a move to Brighton and renting for a while initially. Will likely be impossible for me to install a charger in a rented property...

Hi, I have the following for sale; A reconditioned set of staggered factory 21" wheels in grey, 21x8.5 front and 21x9 rear. Wheels haven't been used since they where reconditioned. £2000 ono A full set of dashboard trim (Obeche Matt wood) out of a brand new UK RHD model S, the trim was swapped...

I truly do not need to worry about this, but my thoughts turned to March 2019 when my Model S will be due to have an MoT test. I wonder what they will test, will it be after 4 years by then? Lights, tyres, brakes, seat belts, airbags, safety equipment? They can't test emissions, oil, clutch...

The pound has fallen an incredible amount, the markets have fallen. I suspect this is gong to be very bad for Tesla sales. The cost of a Tesla will likely rise over the next 6-12 months. That Model3 I wanted may now be out of my price range.

Looks like the shortlist is BlackVue 650 front and rear. Any recommendations for anything different, or any additional accessories please? Do I need to have it professionally fitted (if so any recommendations [in UK] pls?) or is a DIY (neat!!) installation a doddle? I'm OK with DIY, but I'd...

Happy Monday everyone. My DS called today to schedule our delivery appointment (June 25!); I asked if the SC (Heathrow) could install a set of Alloy Gator rim protectors as well as debadge my car. He said no to both. (We don't do 3rd party accessories and someone's S was damaged in...

FYI, Configuration Options for Model X in the UK. Spoiler alert: can get quite pricey! Ignoring incentives, petrol savings, etc for a moment. Does not include £4,500 for government's electric vehicle grant. Prices include VAT. Doesn't include £380 delivery fee. Model Purchase price / 36...

All, Has anyone else got their invite to order their UK model X, mine landed first thing Saturday morning. A pretty well loaded model X came to £122,000 - which is a lot, but I'm assuming I get £4,500 off that? So, my spec was: P90D - Ludicrous Midnight Silver - 20" alloys for comfort Black...

Hi All, Just joined the forum but have been lurking for a couple of weeks learning from your experience of the Model S. I test drove a P85D about 2 weeks ago and was blown away! I've had some fast cars in my time, but this was just addictive :-) It just so happens that the demo that I drove...

Hello What did people pay for the reservation of their model 3 in the UK? My card actually took out 718 pounds, which I guess converts to the 1000USD charge. It also charged me a conversion fee. Just wondering what other people's experiences were.

Tesla Hackathon taking place this Saturday in Clerkenwell for those interested.

I thought this would be worth posting for everyone to offer their sympathy. After just two weeks with the car I'd driven to Cardiff for the weekend only to return to where I had parked it to find a brick to the side and roof. Rear window has completely gone and some paint damage too. All just...

Hi, what is the best charging map in UK, for L3 and L2 chargers? Could you recommend the one you use most? I can find via Google but not sure which ones are accurate. Disclosure:I have a similar app in Japan and would like to talk with them (UK charging map) re licensing.

Hi, On the Tesla Supercharger map it seems to show a new Supercharger location in the South West sometime in 2016 i.e. this year! As someone who regularly travels down that way I'm interested in where exactly it will be and when it's likely to be up and running. Does anyone here know about...

Hi, I took a test drive of a Tesla on Wednesday and absolutely loved the car. It was fantastic, I went to put an order in on the day on a stock Model S P70 however, since the day I have been struggling to find any insurers who would insure the vehicle in my Company name. (For tax purposes) What...

Hello, I'm tempted by he new design, want to upgrade it but I have no idea how much my car worth. There are no examples those I can compare. And It looks like Tesla doesn't want old style cars so that their trade in offer i really low (despite the fact that their CPO prices are still high). And...

i have 2 month old S 90D. It has a characteristic which I hope is just unique to my car. It is a problem which occurs on damp days when the windows start to mist up. After the heater and front screen heater is turned on, the front windscreen mists up totally in a couple of seconds preventing...

Hi folks, later in the summer we are going to Center Parcs in Amsterdam (De eemhof) Zeewolde. Does anyone know if there are any charging points either at Center Parcs or close by ? I've looked on Supercharger map and there is one in Amsterdam and a place nearby but both are c45km from Center...

I'm not on rock star wages but had calculated around 5 months ago that I could afford the payments on a 70D and was looking forward to taking the plunge in a couple of months time when finances aligned for me. Since I first looked, the price has risen about £6700. Yes the PICG has gone down by...

Just received an invite to one of the upcoming Clubhouse events. This time, apparently, they're limited to +1 guest. Dates: Manchester - Thursday 21st April Heathrow - Sunday 24th April Birmingham - Tuesday 26th April I wonder who the special guest will be :) I've RSVPd for the Heathrow one.

Hi there Had a Model S for a few weeks now and really enjoying it. I'm keen to add a rear console to give passengers an arm rest and somewhere to hold a drink, and stuff. I've seen some USA based for £750+ and wonder if there any UK based and cheaper options that anyone is aware of ? Thanks...

So the Wikipedia page for the PICG states: Now, the model 3 is slated for initial release (of high-end models to Tesla employees on the US West Coast) at the end of 2017... I seriously doubt the UK will see any 3's before the March 2018 date passes. Is there a chance, do you think, of the PICG...

Picking up my ex-demo 70d on Tuesday, and due to a combination of factors (mainly being out of the country for 2w after ordering and then waiting forever for Tesla to send me the home voucher) I still haven't got my home installation sorted. I have a 3pin that I can use for the interim, and am...

Hi All How was the paintwork of your MS on pick up? I've had bad experiences with new cars before with swirls and scratches in the paintwork due to a poor effort by the supplying dealer. Do I need to worry about this with Tesla? Don't know if I'd be safer taking my new 85D away from them...

Just trying to get an idea on times scales from people who have already ordered a Model S, and anybody recent? Here in the UK.. Ordered a P90D, order was placed on the 29th Feb and Confirmed on the 13th March, at the moment I see an estimated delivery for end of May-June, how realistic is this...

From the North West, plan to get a M3. I work in Cumbria, live in Lancater / Wirral. CPO Tesla - CPO Tesla | Home This is the first build. It crawls the CPO listings every 10 minute and records them. I am hoping to detect and estimate trends in the availability and prices of used Model S'. I...

Does anyone have any details on how reservations will work in the UK? Do we have to wait until 10am PST?

Hi all Not sure if this is common knowledge (apologies if it is) but thought I'd post that UK Tesla prices are due to increase on 1st April. I had a text message from my Tesla sales advisor earlier today, no doubt gently trying to convince me to order a car! No idea what the price increase...

Hi everyone. After two test drives and much deliberation/research I have just put a deposit down on a pre-owned 85 which I should be picking up Tuesday. The only fear I have is getting the car home as it's 185 mile trip (N. Yorkshire to Norwich) and there are no superchargers anywhere...

I've just noticed on the Teslarati app that there is a service centre located right in the centre of Bristol. Does anyone know if it's for real?

Got a notification this morning - about to install it... MW MS60 73285 Apr2015

Does anyone know the paint code for the 21" Grey Turbine Wheels? One of mine is having kerb damage repaired and the repair technician needs to know the code so they can premix the colour.

After a six month back'n'forth with Berekely homes regarding the installation of a charging point in my garage inside their car park they have refused to allow this (I live in a flat in central London). They have yet to give a valid reason and as the buildings leaseholder have shown no support...

Having a test drive of the model S this week. Does anybody own or have experience of a Midnight grey car with a tan interior. I know it would look great with a black interior but after years of cars with dark interiors I fancy something different. Safe option that I'm leaning towards is Obsidian...

Hello all, I got to have a great test drive in a P90D, I'm looking for the 90D, but got a try in the P90D... What a great car, however I found one problem, after about 30 mins driving, my lower back was aching.. I couldn't quite find a comfortable driving position, this was the only downside...

Hello Teslians, First off, I'm currently purely a wannabe but have been following Musk and his companies for many years. I'm not a 'green' person whatsoever (in fact, the quicker we kill this planet the faster we will be motivated to get off it, but Elon Musk is working on that too), however...

Hi All, Just signed up after being pointed in this direction by the boss at work (he has two Teslas). I'm 32, a complete car nut, and have been a fan of Tesla since I first heard about them. Having been out in a Roadster, and a Model S (P85), I am seriously interested in the Tesla 3. I...

I couldn't see another UK post on autopilot since 7.1 came out claiming improvements and "officially" condoning use on single carriageway roads. So here are my experiences with it and I'd appreciate feedback. I did experiment with the earlier software on empty Surrey country A roads and found...

Hello everyone, FYI Tesla is now officially recognizing and supporting Owners Clubs. My club here in Canada was the first to get to use the official logo. See the pic attached of our club lanyard and name tag ee made. I know you have a Facebook group but if anyone would like more info about...

Looks like the rear wheel drive option and the 85 are now history. Only AWD, 70 and 90 variants seem to be available now (unless I'm missing a trick).

I thought when the Ludicrous model was launch last summer, the customers that had ordered P85D cars at the later part of 14 and received their car at quarter 3 or 4 15 would be able to upgrade for half cost price. My dates were ordered Nov 14 car received Sep 15. Has anyone had the upgrade...

Anyone know a hotel in Birmingham city centre with a charging point please??

Elon Musk reveals Tesla Model 3 UK price | TechRadar I think we all knew this would be the ball park anyway.

Hi all, Cross posting from speakev forums. I was at the Oxford Store opening reception yesterday. I want to give you an update in case you'd been interested. Tesla UK country director Georg Ell made a presentation and answered some questions. He is a nice talker and young, agile guy. He...

The website looks like they are doing PCP's on a good rate 5.9 % on large deposits or 2k minimum, they seem to be very attractive ? Have I read it right that the 5 k grant is reducing to 2.5 k after Feb 1st ??

Good Morning All, I know its a very personal thing but..... I am thinking of having my calipers painted and have so far got one quote from a Tesla approved body shop near London. The price quoted is £900 + VAT. This seems like quite a lot but to be fair the body shop looks amazingly...

Just been hearing about a Grey Model S 85 being written off at 39 miles. Could this have been before delivery to the customer? Did anyone on here have theirs delayed? Would have been a few months ago I assume. Seems the battery still had the storage charge and had never been charged, that is...
