Took the Model Y P out for a test drive today and IMHO it was a softer drive than my Model Y which I took ownership of in March.

Will be interested to see how you get on and what the ride is like. I normally always run winters, usually on a 2nd set of wheels. As I’m leasing through Octopus (salary sacrifice) it’s on a maintenance package which includes tyres but I’d need to buy winter tyres myself
Came with 48 psi, which I reduced to the recommended 42 psi. They now seem be around 40 psi or below in this much colder weather
I note the door glass in this article has broken in exactly the same place:
A Tesla owner says his Model Y ordered him to pull over before it suddenly shut down, trapping him inside
Tom Exton had just begun his journey to London Thursday when his Model Y's display indicated a problem, despite a nearly full charged.

I am about to take delivery of a salary sacrifice MYP for 3 years. I am wondering whether this ALA alloy insurance is worth it. Considering the alloys poke out quite a bit and the tyre itself does not provide much cover so its about when not if they will be scratched.
Well they cancelled saying none in stock. They like to take the money first thoughWill be interested to see how you get on and what the ride is like.

I've had to go for Continental Winter Contact TS860 S:
Front 265/40/21 (many say 265/40 fit under the front arm, but we will see, depends on tyre)
Rear 275/40/21
£1400
Ooft, think I’ll just do less winter driving! Unless I can convince Octopus to fork outWell they cancelled saying none in stock. They like to take the money first though

On the plus side the TS870’s are cracking tyres. Ran similar on my last car.Well they cancelled saying none in stock. They like to take the money first though

Yes ALA. Used just the once. You have 4 claims a year. T&cs state you need to claim with in 30 days of the damage. When you take up the insurance you have to provide a bunch of Photos for your wheels undamaged (so they know the wheels weren't damaged prior to taking insurance). Claim requires photos of damage. Turnaround was quick - my wheel was repaired around 10 days after submitting claim
Was that a Performance alloy? Did they match the paint correctly? Was it smart or full alloy refurb
Ala are saying this about the alloy
Vehicles with a non-standard or custom pain finish
(including but not limited to matte finishes,
chrome illusion, two tone or self-healing paint).
Performance alloys are Matt

M3p are turbines (are they that much different?). And it was a smart fix as it was quite a small scrape. Match was perfect
Think i have derailed this thread enough
I went direct rather than via a comparison site. I’m an old git (41!), I.T company director as occupation, 8k miles a year, low crime area, parked on driveway at night + my wife as a named driver. Not sure if me previously having high powered expensive cars and not binning them has any impact on their risk weighting. I usually shop around each year so I’m not a loyal customer. Probably doesn’t take much for them to quote another £450 for slightly different circumstances. Depending on your occupation have you tried the MSE tool to see if using another (but still valid) job title makes a difference?
I'm 33, a web developer but also director of an ecommerce company. Never heard of the MSE tool but will definitely check it out!
I added my wife too which dropped it a bit. Might have to play around and try them directly too! Cheers
