    2021 Shipping Movements

    And as a little light addition to this thread I was lucky enough to go for a short cruise on Queen Mary 2 last Sunday from Southampton. The valet parking guy obviously had a sense of humour. Can you spot my white Tesla?

    Tyres - How’s it going?

    Thanks @davidmc and @Envchem - am going to have to go for Primacy 4s as that’s all I can get tomorrow locally. It’s a rear puncture - any recommendations whether the new tyres should go on the front and move the fronts to the rears? Have done 12,000 miles. Am going to keep the other used rear...

    Tyres - How’s it going?

    Have been reading this post as unfortunately got an irreparable puncture after 12,000 miles on a LR. The only tyres that all our local fitters are willing to fit on the Tesla are the Pilot 4s and nobody can get them until May. They have said Tesla is the only solution but that is £270+ each and...

    Climate has been on a long while!

    I have also been getting phantom ac (I assume) over the last few months...I have been through everything and got to the stage where I switched the ac off on my personal setting and the easy entry setting before I got out. I have only caught it on a couple of times and usually a few minutes after...

    Cost of new rear/top glass replacement

    When mine got cracked LV covered it as glass replacement. I just paid the glass excess and no effect on claims.

    Telegraph article

    The car is absolutely perfect. Other than the bungling idiots failing to do the basics like a factory reset (I genuinely couldn’t believe they didn’t do that) and the miles on the clock the car is/was literally like new...I scoured the paint work to see if there were any scratches/dinks...none...

    Telegraph article

    Talking of crime...some of the comments on the telegraph article suggest that there was a crime...that the vehicle had been taken without the owners consent having been paid for in full, and been specifically allocated. Life is definitely too short to be trying that line though!

    Telegraph article

    Yup, was me. As per the tone of my earlier post Tesla continued to be pretty uncooperative, although very nice about being uncooperative. The best bit they did was put their hands up and admit they had messed up and lied and conveyed this in writing in a very sensible email. For those that...

    Two little stories

    My kids 11 and 13 are absolutely Tesla obsessed. Especially the 13 year old, there is not one thing he doesn’t know about them, except how to actually drive them. Needed fog lights today (yes a summer holiday in Cornwall would you believe), had never used them before and he had turned them on...

    Sadly the WORST new car buying experience...and I love Teslas.

    So the call came in yesterday, at last we have your car, we will deliver it to you tomorrow before 11.30am...and hey presto this morning it arrived! The 4 week wait was over...and of course the car was worth the wait! Delivered as ever by a great guy from the Tesla sales team. But wait, what’s...

    Don’t worry, I will be asking....I’ll start with FSD for free and work down from that

    It is that warm fuzzy feeling that is a killer...I was genuinely all ready to kick off, but having spent an hour or so cruising on autopilot on an emptyish A3/M25 in my M3 you are continuously reminded of what an amazing car it is, and then arriving at a place where there were my M3s brothers...

    Loan car collected....took at least 2 minutes (drive there and back excepted). The staff at Tesla are genuinely all so good...there is obviously just something in the Tesla system that wraps them in knots. And while there an update on our car, they have been doing everything to get hold of it...

    Right, we have spoken to them. We are going to get the loan car. The car we have purchased is in a locked compound nowhere near Heathrow and possibly until someone comes off furlough the compound will remain locked. Why they couldn’t say that weeks ago I don’t know. They have not made any...

    Thanks all. Agreed it really isn’t complex. And I don’t mind being told upfront that your car is stuck somewhere, we can’t get hold of it, if you want that particular one you will have to wait, or pick another. We would have happily waited. But it is so so so frustrating to be told literally one...
