Electricity is expensive in Aus as they don’t have thousands of miles of coastline for cheap wind power or massive uninhabitable areas of land where the sun shines a lot.

At the moment it’s £10 to park all day + some electricity compared with £18 for the train + £6 to park at the station. Driving is cheaper and safer right now.

There is no need to register for the LEZ if you have a zero emission vehicle. If you want to avoid the congestion charge in London then you have to register and pay £10 annual to get a 100% discount on the congestion charge for a zero emission vehicle. Why the Congestion Charge discount...

My leaf handles the bumps better but as I’m tall I find the driving position a bit squashed and the steering wheel adjustment lacking in the leaf.

Adaptive suspension. Alloys that were slightly tougher than butter.

Why? Four digits will stop the opportunistic thief if you forget to lock the car. The pin is a good feature but like all passwords they are susceptible to the owner of the password being coerced into providing them. If someone wants your car badly they will probably make you give it to them...

More likely know very little for a while. Tesla aren't great at keeping you informed.

Thanks. I think I am going to have to leave it and see how it improves.

At the rear on each wheel I’ve found these on each damper. Should they be there is the question? They are about three inches long and compress slightly under pressure from my fingers?

I don’t want it to dive particularly. Just used to a car nosing down under heavy breaking and the M3 doesn’t so wondered what others were experiencing and if my experience was different and therefore something to investigate.

So most people saying the ride quality is pretty good and the others saying it is overlay harsh. It'll be going up in the air tomorrow so I can have a proper look and check there is nothing looking out of place underneath.

Thanks. I’ve had a quick look but can’t see anything obvious. Waiting for a trolley Jack and some lifting pucks so I can get a wheel off and have a proper look. In a totally non scientific test pushing the back down (boot lip) generates almost no movement whereas I can get more out of the...

It’s three weeks old and I’ve done 1000 miles. First noticed it on a long motorway drive but it’s noticeable on all roads.

I came from an X3 but had a 328, M135 and Scirocco before and the ride is significantly worse than any of those. Still live in the same are so same roads. Would also say that if I break hard there is no downward movement at the front of the car stays perfectly flat. Under hard braking I’d...

Looking for others opinions on ride quality. I have a M3LR on standard wheels. I’ve dropped tire pressure to 39 PSI already but the ride is still harsh, I feel every bump and undulation in the road surface at the moment. It feels like there is little to no damping taking place in the car at...

I've had no issues with my car collected at the start of September. There a significantly more cars that are fine than there are with defects.

I get what the mayor is trying to do. It’s just the assumption that anyone that drives in London has an alternative and simply removing space for cars will solve the problem. What it actually does it choke up traffic flow so cars sit at low revs chucking out pollution and looking for rat runs...

Unless you lease with Tesla directly. The you get full access including upgrades and the App.

Our Tesla is the second EV, now ICE free. I’m planning on only using one charge point. We are both unlikely to want to make a long journey in both cars at the same time, wife’s commute is about 5 miles and mine is 25 or 2 depending on if I get the train to work so can easily plug in the three...

I have yet to find anything wrong with mine. Now two weeks old and about 1000 miles in. In previous cars (BMW) I’ve hade to have seats taken apart to resolve squeaks and air con systems rebuilt to overcome the system only blowing hot air at certain times even when set to 16c. Forums aren’t...

I did my first long journey last night leaving from just outside Southend and driving to Cannock, a journey of about 155 miles. I left with 99% charge and arrived with 44% charge. Mainly at motorway speeds with some stop start traffic. Used the superchargers at Hilton Park to top up and was the...

I’ve had a pod point since my first Nissan Leaf four years ago. Hasn’t missed a charge or had any issues in the four years and is working fine with then M3.

I leased direct with Tesla and other than having to chase for a few updates the process has been painless.

Have you put any of this into writing to WeeVee? It would be worth setting out the issue in a letter and sending recorded delivery. You should also give them a clear deadline to resolve the issue. The consumer rights act 2015 seems to be helpful in the situation you find yourself in: "The...

Can you return a lease car under the Tesla 7 day rule? Wouldn’t you be returning the car to the lease company and be bound by whatever their return / rejection policy is?

Reading through all this it seems like your dispute is with the lease company. They are charging you for a feature on their car which you don’t have. It may be worth setting out to the lease company in writing that unless this is resolved within 10 days and FSD is provided by them on their car...

I'm leasing through Tesla Financial Services. I can see the upgrades as options in the App.

Thought I would share the experience of collection today from Dartford. I was collection LR in blue. Arrived a bit early at 10am for a 10:30 collection. On arrival I scanned the QR code and completed the requested information. About 5 minutes later a Tesla guy came out and called my name, I...

I won’t be signing mine until I’ve viewed the car. As long as the key cards work it makes no difference to me if it takes a while for the app to come alive.

Just seen this article which references an independent comparison of EV ranges. Was commissioned by Polestar. How far can you drive an electric car at 70mph before it stops?

Just had the email through with the collection documents to sign. Everything now in place for Thursday.

Picking up on Thursday from Dartford.

L “The processor in her brain sends wireless signals, indicating neural activity in her snout when looking for food. “ It sounds like he has found a way of telling when someone wants a cookie. Could be a cure for obesity, the brain starts thinking about food so the chip send a signal to give...

I phoned this morning and got my reg sent via text while on the phone. I’m also collecting on the 3rd.

Ring Tesla and ask for the address. There are couple of Tesla accounts. I paid mine into the one shown on my account page on the website and this wasn’t the account for Tesla Financial Services but some other part of Tesla. It was transferred once I had chased a couple of times on the phone...

Agree you can’t have a strop and just get a new one. You can get your money back and order another one though, at least from most dealers. If they have one with a similar spec in inventory you might get that one without waiting for manufacture. I’m not sure what the Tesla policy is on...

Rejecting a car because a serious problems isn't the same as returning it because you have changed your mind. As for leaving Tesla with a car they cannot sell as new again the alternative would be leaving the purchaser with a car they cannot drive. If the faults are serious enough to reject...

Knowing nothing about this does there come a point where Gas storage is at capacity and to avoid shutting down rigs and pipelines the grid use more gas than other sources?

Who with? it would be strange if Tesla Financial Services stopped you giving 1500 to tesla for a software upgrade that can be removed when the car is returned at the end of the hire period.

In honor of the Hammerhead Eagle I-thrust?

Wife has picked Wattney. Yes I know it’s not how you spell the name from the film but wanted to get watt in there as well.

Ring and check. I paid my deposit to that account and it didn’t show in my Tesla account as having been paid. I had to chase Tesla and they advised the account number and sort code related to a different part of Tesla and not Tesla Financial Services. They then needed a second chase on the...

Seconded. Picking up from there on the 3rd.

And my 3rd sept collection

Mick will be fine. He’s had automatic middle lane holding technology in his Peugeot for years.

Whats wrong with that? Adventure island, walk along the pier, count the number of men without tops on and then repeat.

Let them use bus lanes and park on double yellow lines as well.

The writer has a point. EVs do use the same road network but don't pay Road Fund Tax or contribute as much through VAT and Fuel Duty. At some point that will need to change. Although it could be argued that EV drivers are doing less damage to the environment so the Gov won't have to spend as...

Have you completed all the Steps post ordering? As soon as I was matched the lease agreement came through on the Tesla website. I’m not picking up until September.

I wonder if they look at direct leases first. Tesla make more money getting cars to those that use Tesla finances rather then a third party.
