Is there one you’d recommend?Yes 128gb in the glove box. Better off with an SSD more reliable
How much are you paying though ? I have paid 28 shy of 2 grand as the insurance premium. And this has a 1k Excess !Just got my registration for a pickup at Bluewater on the 19th. It hadn’t come through so I got in touch with Tesla who were great one the phone.
Boy the insurance is expensive though!

1 tb WD but they're all much the same Samsung etcIs there one you’d recommend?
Thanks Alex. Found it and activated it. Oddly BBC Radio 4 is missing from the list of stations. BTW if like me yesterday the guys at the collection point turn on the hazard lights remotely so you can locate your car (perish the thought of walking you to it) the actual on/off button is hidden in the ceiling between the map lights.Settings for any audio source. I think its the button on the top right. There's a link to a video earlier in the thread but after 258 pages, I'm not looking for it there. Possibly this one but it's quite a way through.
Nowhere near that!How much are you paying though ? I have paid 28 shy of 2 grand as the insurance premium. And this has a 1k Excess !
I am not sure any one can beat me on this though..
£675 with 250 excess with Direct line.Nowhere near that!
£400 voluntary + £250 compulsory excess.

There’s a sticky on this forum if you have a search for it. There’s a lot of useful information on there but I’ll summarise: if you want reliable performance there is a bit more to it than just picking a huge ssd with a “good” read/write. Because of the frequency the cars read and write for dash and sentry mode footage, some ssd drives are not ideal. Some will give you unusable footage, others will give you errors immediately or after some time. Some people still use them but I’ve had trouble with them. The best solution really is a sandisk extreme endurance micro sd card in a USB adapter. Small, designed for the fast and continuous read/writes and available in large enough formats. Haven’t had any corrupted footage since I switched to it. You don’t need terabytes of storage space, because of the way the cars format the footage.Is there one you’d recommend?
I wish mine would NOT have BBC Radio 4 available.Thanks Alex. Found it and activated it. Oddly BBC Radio 4 is missing from the list of stations.

My guess would be if you add the right FM frequency it'll find it on DAB. It will also switch seamlessly back to FM if you lose the DAB signal.Thanks Alex. Found it and activated it.

I had the calipers done as well. Think they were the same cost as the wheels. Either way, i paid 650 for them doing.Looks great. Did you powder coat the brake calipers as well (or) were they RED from Tesla ?
Could you possibly share the costs for getting the powder coat done ? - thanks

You use 40 kWh a day for your house? Are you sure?Yep same here.
In 22 days we’ve done 666 miles and “used” 271 kWh (its 80% charged at the moment, so actually used approx 208 ish kWh).
Average driving. I guess 12,000 miles a year for us.
The dual rate makes it much cheaper to charge your car - but significantly increases the cost of our household use, which is about 4 times more than the car uses; so more expensive to have a cheap night rate in our case. And potentially more limited charging window, which we’d exceed if going on a long trip and go into the expensive zone!
Also it’s nice just being able to plug it it anytime when you get home.
We’re on SSE fixed rate of 16p a kWh till July.
After that we’ll be put on the govt. capped rate, whatever that is….? so this could all change for us !
£60 a month do do 1,000 miles.
- I’m loving the running costs so far !
Also our max range shows 326 miles.
Is this normal? Though it’d show 331. At least at first!
(The “home” and “other” below are all at home - my wife didn’t set our home as home in the car until a few days after we got the car.)
