Has anyone had tarnish or stains on the silver strip on the wood dash? I’m not even sure if it’s metal or plastic but mine has a couple of faint stains on the passenger side. I’ve tried wiping it with a damp cloth but that didn’t do anything. I don’t want to try anything too powerful like metal...

Indeed. I wonder how they intend to resolve it.

They replaced the bumper which was not bad time wise considering they took the car last Tuesday and I received it back today. It was actually ready to come back yesterday but I wanted it delivered via a loader rather than them driving it to me. Unfortunately it has to go right back next week as...

Was just wondering if it disabled the GPS tracking at the time I posted.

Not sure that post you linked to is true. The app showed me it’s location at the body shop until today when it changed. As you say though, I’m sure they have better cars to go for a jolly in. They’re a Lamborghini crash repair centre so I doubt they’ll be excited by another Tesla!

Unfortunately that is disabled when in Service Mode.

Thats the strange thing, the mileage hasn't really changed (its less than a mile difference but that will be from loading/unloading from the transporter, etc). The location the app claims its at is 3 miles away from the body shop.

I would if it wasn't 1.5 hour drive each way!

My car went in to Mitchell Inglis last Tuesday for a bumper repair. Since then, it's been in Service Mode. The estimate they gave me on their website is that the repair should be completed this Wednesday. I have integrations with my car and Home Assistant so can see its status and various other...

Well the repair completion date shown on the web page they sent me is this Wednesday (7 working days). I did ask if the bumper was being repaired or replaced via their progress website but no response!

The maps issue is an issue Tesla are aware of. I raised a service call about it back at the start of April. They claim its an issue between EE (or was it 3) and Google and working with them to fix it.

My car is in with a Tesla approved repair centre and they have put the car in Service mode. All I did was turn off Pin to drive and gave them a key card.

My car went away today to get repaired. I declined the offer of a courtesy car as I can use my wifes car when I need to and it would be unnecessary expense for the insurance.

Same. My car is being collected tomorrow for minor rear bumper damage (5mph bump) and going to Mitchell Inglis in Glasgow. I'm hoping its a repair rather than a replacement thats needed.

If it was me, I would have dealt with the 3rd party insurer direct for the reasons above. If you claim via your own insurance, you may have to pay your no claims and wait on them recovering the cost to get it back. I've dealt with these claim management companies before. They charge Dick Turpin...
