Before moving to the U.K. in October, I checked with Tesla customer service in the States to make sure that my 2018 Model 3 would be operable, and able to be serviced, in the U.K.. I was told that I would have no problems getting service for the vehicle, including modifications (e.g., cell radio changed to U.K. carrier) necessary to use it here.
It turns out that this is not the case. The Model 3 is in the car park at my apartment complex. The Tesla service center for London will not touch it. I'm not sure how I will be able to register the car, as at least some of the modifications required to pass inspection (e.g., adjusting turn signal frequency) will require software adjustments.
I assume I'm not the first person to bring a Tesla over from the States. Does anyone (ideally someone who has done so) know how to get a Model 3 U.K. modified so that it can be registered here?
