hello chaps I live in London and conscious streets are narrow especially with street parking. Tesla cars are not necessarily small especially in width. Can you share your experience of driving, parking and living in London with a Tesla Thanks

Do you rely on the tesla nav app to get around or do you have to continually second-guess it since it generates questionable routes? ----- Example: Picked up my Model S and drove back from Birmingham to south of Rugby. Google maps on my phone recommended the M6, car decided A45. Fine, I'll go...

Hello everyone I wanted to ask if buying a Chase-mo adapter is really a must. I don't need it for London but we have friends in Devon and Cornwall and went on holiday to Dorset this year where there are no superchargers. I also saw an episode of Fully Charged and could see for Ecotricity...

hi guys Wanted to ask if the Sat Nav in the Tesla shows other charging points that are not superchargers (eh Ecotricity)

Hello guys One of the main reason I am thinking to order a Tesla sooner rather than later (plan was to wait Spring 2018) is that I am fearing that Elon will stop the free superchargers with referral code as they increase sales and overall with the launch of the Model 3. Asked the sales guys...

Hi there I have been talking with Tesla to order an inventory Model S and they called me today to say that the 1.5% offer on financing is finishing today Did you hear the same news from other Tesla dealers?

Just had fitted my HPWC for my new Model X being delivered later this month. There is a 20amp fuse the Hpwc is linked to. I only do about 50 miles a day so don't need a high charge rate. Would anyone be able to tell me how to calculate the miles I would get from a 20 amp breaker. Also what would...

After many hours reading through this forum, playing with the configurator, reading reviews, watching YouTube videos, and generally being obsessed, I have finally ordered my Tesla! Originally I was going to go for an S, but after reading some of the comparisons on here, and after showing my...

Tried to find this information over various Tesla forum posts and also by talking to the Tesla technical helpline, but looks like this is not possible at this stage due to the fact that the 12v connectors in Tesla are powered by the mini 12v battery and not powered by the big one. Even DC to AC...

Does anyone know when they brought the prices down? Just saw the Model S has come down £1500 and EAP down by £300. Gutted as only ordered my Model S 75 3 weeks ago and really stretching myself. These reductions would have brought my monthly payments down by £22 per month which would have made a...

Hi All, I am Joost from the Netherlands. In two weeks time I have a wedding near Birmingham (area of Worcester and Droitwich). Now I am staying in a hotel in Droitwich for a few nights, but they are not sure if I can charge my car over there. I found a close-by charger in Droitwich at a car...

Hi Guys, I have emailed Tesla and asked at the showroom but haven't had an answer to which tyres the X comes with. It seems that US 20 inch tyres are normally Continental Crosscontact LX Sport with Contisilent technology, these are what I would like but it is not clear if they use the same...

Hi all first time post so be gentle! I just returned from looking at a few used teslas (model s) One in particular caught my eye, a 2017 75D so from the drivers profile I could see Ed was the prior owner, but he didn't like bluey. (the name he gave the car) The car had under 400 miles on...

Hi everyone I'm having a bit of a panic. I just put in my order and paid my deposit for a MS, 75 battery. Having looked online previously it appeared that insurance wouldn't be much more than my current car (~£600 per year). I've got some terrifying quotes (up to £11k) and the lowest I've...

Hey Teslonians I just wondered if anyone could shed some light on how the software upgrade process is rolled out. I've got and have been on 17.17.111 for ages. I seem to see many version numbers with higher second and third parts than this in various posts. Am I missing something...

Dear Forum, We are planning a road trip from The Netherlands to England, Scotland and Wales in the second half of August. The area south of Edinburgh seems to be well covered with Superchargers, but we also would like to do a Scotland tour: Edinburgh - Oban - Isle of Mull - Fort Willam - Isle...

Hey, I’m new to the forum but joined as I’ve run into a problem. Ive recently bought a used Model S (85 with dual charge). I live in the country with no gas so cooker, shower etc runs on electric. When the firm i contacted to install the home charger came round they said it would be next to...

and basically all because of Elon. Queen's Speech: Petrol stations to go electric - BBC News Well done that man, and thankyou.

The centre left air vent on the dash isn't venting/blowing on my MS. So, out of the 4 front facing dash vents, only 3 are working. All vents are in the open position. Is this just a me issue?
