Hello all, I am aware this may be bad etiquette to post here, but this is the UK section of a worldwide forum, so would be of little interest to the rest of world. E13CTR cherished registration private number plate Perfect for an electric car, especially an i3. On retention...

The UK Tesla Owners Group on Facebook has around 500 members, maybe a fifth to a quarter of its potential membership. It's very active, with lots of good, up-to-date information and discussion. Membership of the group is open to anyone owning a Tesla or having one on order. If you're interested...

People might like to record their cars and software level etc on the Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker at Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App . You have to log in with a TMC forum handle.

One thing I did wonder is as the sales model isn't through a "dealership", the experience or willingness from different showrooms shouldn't really differ. With that in mind, has anyone managed to obtain a long test drive / hire? I can understand if the general answer is "no". But as the...

On the BBC!

Does anyone have any ideas as to where to look for a used Model S 60 in the UK? I am surprised that even with all the new iterations of the Model S, there doesn't seem to be many (if any) Model S 60's to buy...

Playing Devil's advocate for a moment... I had this discussion at work today. The letter of the law states "No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a road if s/he is using a hand-held mobile telephone...". Just wondering if you could prove you were not actually 'driving' then you couldn't...

Interested to hear if any UK users have the 7.1 update yet? If so when did you get it?

Has anyone played with AP in bad (<50m visibility) fog yet? Anything interesting to pass on? I'm assuming there might be a point where the cameras can still lock on the lane markings sufficently to allow AP to work and the RADAR is well capable of penetrating fog... but what would the U/S...

First post here :) I thought I'd post in this section as there probably aren't many other RHD Teslas in other areas... I went for my first Model S test drive yesterday from the West Drayton branch. Having read up an awful lot about Teslas in general, spending a week watching various YouTube...

Hey Guys, I wonder if anyone can help. I am in the process of purchasing a Model S 85 2015 from the UK and I would have liked to drive it down to Malta instead of shipping it. I have travelled overland by carnumerous times and driven down from the UK 3 times but adding the chargingelement to...

Really enjoying the threads showing new Model X arriving, some Founders and Bonnies 00002 Sig#2. Be great to see who in the UK from the early adopters and deposit/reservation holders gets started first with their deliveries and the dates they begin. Quite keen on this seeing as the UK grant...

Goodbye ... for now.

It's nice to be able to say that I think my Model S order has finally gone through. Not without a few moments of angst earlier today, when I got a call that my originally specced seats (the 'basic' leather i.e. non-next-gen ones) were being discontinued. This led to a hiatus, and to a whole...

I've never had a car before that is just over a year old and already a Classic! Now, I've already written on this forum about changing my car on to Michelin Pilot Sports early in it's life. Those of you with 21" wheels look away now, because after 20,000 miles they still have 4-5mm of...

Hi there, I've been skulking on this forum for a while so hi to you all, I'm thinking that my next car will be a Tesla. So.... I'm heading into London this weekend, child free just the wife and I .... Apparently Tesla have a popup shop in Harrods so me is thinking I'm going to make a visit and...

Tesla Motors Has More Than 1,600 Jobs Open, Many For Engineers Can anyone confirm this? Er,... don't bother - It's on the map already! Tesla Store, Service Centers and Chargers First I've heard of it! MW

Stockport opening who's going tonight? I've got n invite as we're picking up ur cars from there the week after next . anyone on here going ?

Has anyone had experience of driving a Model S from London down through France to the Alps (3 Valleys ski resorts)? I've driven it often in an ICE car and know the route reasonably well but am thinking of doing it this winter in a Tesla (P90D). It looks like the superchargers are well spaced...

After nearly 5 months Tesla have confirmed I can collect my car on the 19th December. Just in time for putting under the Christmas tree. :)

The majority of you I'm sure are aware but over on the Tesla Owners Group UK Facebook page lots of us have been discussing the downgrade in hp on the P85D along with the real life 0-60 speed tests. For those of you that don't know Tesla now states the car is actually 463hp... and not 691hp that...

Hi I hope someone can help me. I have ordered a Tesla being delivered in March next year hopefully. Have two questions about which cables to buy and which home charging solution to have installed for a vehicle with single charger. 1/ which cables? We live in Essex and will do a bit of...

For a company car purchase does it make more sense to buy options later, rather than initially? I reckon that the only retro-fit ones are Ludicrous mode [that I don't want, unless/until it improves], Autopilot, Winter Tyres and pre-paid servicing pack For a summer delivery I might delay Winter...

Model X now online via US site for builds and pricing. $80,000 for the basic model, the 70D version, conversion today via XE = £53,064.49 Cheapest US price found so far with incentives is $66,500 = £44,112.56 (Federal Tax $7500 + Colorado State $6000) Keeping in mind sales Tax in the US and...

Recently I have been running an experiment to see if its possible to own and EV and charge it only using public charging stations Details here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/can-man-live-public-charging-alone-jonathan-tracey?trk=pulse_spock-articles

If I could drop this into a forum section that all of Europe would read, I would... but I'll try this one! Do you have 120 km/h speed limits anywhere over your way? And if so, does the Tesla camera read and interpret them correctly? I ask because it's not a common limit here, but there is one...

Keen to see it and get a feel for whether this is going to be the next car... Put a deposit down on the X already, but must see it before I commit to ordering :frown:

Article in D Telegraph published on paper yesterday but link below to slightly longer article online for a few days. it makes points that sales of full EV cars remain low, and if there were more EVs the lights would be going out more often across UK this winter and onwards. Rise of electric...

Tesla has loads of people looking around a multi-coat Red P85D. Managed to get a quick sit in it, as it had a Panoramic roof and the Next Gen seats. Was concerned about head room, as I'm 6ft5, but with the panoramic roof in, I seemed to have loads of space. Another check box ticked.

I've having the following thoughts, not quite sure how much weight to attach to them, so would appreciate your thoughts please. Monday 23rd Nov 2015 price is rising. Tesla say they don't know by how much, I've read on the Net that it will be 6% Also the 2 x £500 for charger at work AND at home...

So a month ago I was told end of November and then yesterday a member of the " delivery experience team" said not till the beginning of January :crying: disappointing as my delivery date is currently 27 th December. Anybody know a bit more detail/ connected ?

One of the Tesla sales staff called me this week to let me know they anticipate price rises of 1-3% at the end of this month (November). I expect they are calling round all prospective buyers but thought I'd share in case it helps anyone's man maths calculations :crying:

Was at Marriott York today for work and Tesla were there a stroke of luck, I grabbed a sales guy and he said they were going to do PCP finance deals next year and Newcastle were getting a SC site and they were talking to other Motorway service operators. Told him a dare not take attest drive...

Hello, I'm new here, just sent off my details to a leasing company to get my order underway, and wanted to check a few things re charging, and thought you guys might be able to help. I see form the Tesla support page (http://www.teslamotors.com/en_GB/models-charging/#outlet) that is says "Two...

Newbie question, not even got to the test drive stage yet :smile: I have read on the forums that map display is an issue where there is no 3G coverage. I'm out in the sticks in East Anglia so that may be an issue for me. I drive regular journeys with SatNav on for two reasons - my mind wanders...

I'm looking at the timing of a purchasing decision and whether to suffer penalty clauses for early exit on existing vehicle finance contract. Can anyone please clarify for me what is available, and might be tapering out (and thus justify an earlier purchase) £300-ish annual luxury car penalty...

Newbie question, not even been for a test drive yet (although that is on the cards) We have a driveway but no garage. We normally park on the side of the drive furthest from the house (plant pots / tubs along the house wall, and part of the house sticks out which makes parking against the wall...

Had a test drive in a P85D today at Knutsford and was told they think the Keele SC went live today. T

Having (stupidly or otherwise - not sure) test drove an S85 I was bitten by the Tesla bug straight away. I decided to put my deposit down and order an S85 in Titanium, with Autopilot (of course) & pano roof. Now here is the kicker. My current XC60 is on lease until July and I drive 150 miles...

Hello all, So after the waiting, my 90D is finally being collected this Friday afternoon! Super excited, particularly as it might have the v7 software, great timing! I'm actually going to a function in Manchester on Saturday evening so planning on driving up Saturday afternoon from Uxbridge /...

Just finished installing mine... MW

Hi all. We'll be crossing "The Pond" next week to watch the Bronze and Finals of the Rugby Championship, :wink: I mean, the Rugby World Cup. We thought that it would be fun to meet-up with any interested EV folks on TMC and SpeakEV community members in real life (IRL) and talk EVs and the like...

Hello all, have really enjoyed reading this forum and am just about to push the button on an 85D. Any owners from Gloucestershire out there? Haven't seen a Tesla on the road here but Tesla at Cribbs tell me they sell a lot in the county? Would also be interested in what real World range...

I was disappointed last Thursday when I discovered software v7 wasn't available to my car yet. I guess the UK has not started receiving the update. Is that a fair assumption? Does anyone know when we can expect it? I did did write to the service centre to ask but haven't heard back yet.

Its good to see Clarkson has gone and BBC are endorcing Tesla technologies great piece from Norway on prime time TV

Apologies if this has been covered but has anyone seen this 0% £50K loan for EVs in Scotland via Energy Saving Trust? Electric Vehicle Loan | Energy Saving Trust Is there a wider UK equivalent? If this is available outside Scotland I would bite on a Model S through Tesla used programme. And it...

So what cards are people using ? seen the wiki link page thingy but not updated since March wont be going far from Manchester for a while but want to know what's needed before getting the travel model S style bug :biggrin:

I am keen on a Model S but can't quite fund a new purchase. Used examples on the Tesla UK site via the Model S tab, the cheapest today is a 2104 85 for £57,500 with 9,389 miles. On the USA site the cheapest today is a 2104 60 6,140 miles at $58,000 (£37,545.00) Looking on the Tesla sales pages...

Went to solar energy uk show today at NEC. Was told by Tesla rep that UK price for model 3 would be £25k. Asked if that was a rumour and included gov incentives. She said she was authorised to give this price and it did not include incentives. Is this a deal?

Has anyone fitted an in-car camera, such as Roadhawk, to a MS? I'm interested in knowing how the cable was run because the 12v socket is between the seats rather than beneath the dashboard. I expect the cable is long enough but how easy is it to hide it? Also, could one fit an extra socket...
