    Ecotricity 5GBP for 20 mins charging costs announced

    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...

    Which after market audio?

    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...

    Resale value guarantee crap

    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...

    Run a model S without a home charger?

    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...

    UK MoT test and Tesla cars

    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...

    Brexit - The £ - and Tesla

    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.

    Dashcam

    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...

    UK Tesla Model X Order Process Started

    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...

    Actual reservation cost for Model 3 in UK

    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.

    Spare rear windscreen anyone? - Car bricked in Cardiff (literally)

    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...

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...

    How much does my car worth now? [help]

    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.

    That's me priced out of a Models S

    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...

    Plug-in Car Grant: Will it still be available for Model 3?

    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...

I have a 3pin that I can use for the interim, and am...

    Paint Quality on Pick Up

    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...

    Hello and help with first 185 mile journey home.

    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...

    Midnight Grey with Tan interior

    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.

    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...
