    Before buying your Tesla, did you ever Test Drive one?

    Is that really a thing? I thought the return policy was scrapped entirely? I’ve test driven the car (although I’m buying a SR and they only had LD and P models to test drive, wonder why?😏) otherwise would’ve not in order to keep the 7 day return.

    A lot of demo vehicles near my area

    You can remove FSD off available inventory cars (brand new or demo) but not used models. I’ve had some reps say this can’t be done but most knew the rules. I’ve had FSD removed off of my demo car order.

    Refresh 2021 or wait for MIC model 3??

    Yes, I figured as much. I was hoping we could get some data from New Zealand or something but I guess their winters are still pretty warm!

    Refresh 2021 or wait for MIC model 3??

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but has there been any new data about this? In particular about LFP batteries and the cold?

    What do you do for a living?

    Genuine question, because I’m going through an existential crisis and thinking about this aha. Have you found that lifestyle worth it? Like, if you could do it again would you have a Model S at 70 or the 3 at 30? I’ve been fairly “responsible” with funds - my current car was a used 3 year old...

    Tesla removes regenerative braking strength option

    This is probably a silly question. From my understanding the regen breaking is useful to help top up the batteries and increase range. From my high school physics, admittedly further away than I’d like now, it takes more energy to get up to speed than to maintain it. So wouldn’t regen breaking...

    Refund of £100 order fee

    You're probably right, I'm just paranoid based on how much they seem to connect every contact we have with them into our files aha. I'm sure based on the number of contacts I've had with them that I must have a few flags next to my name. Also I'm a much smaller fish and went for a 36k model aha...

    Refund of £100 order fee

    Sorry for resurrecting an old threat, but has anyone else had any luck with this without escalating to a Section 75? I'm worried that it would tar future dealings in case of warranty or any other issues. My situation is that I placed an order on a demo, and within 48hs another demo came up...

    Would you buy this? Second hand vs new Model 3

    Thinking it over since starting this post I think, really, my options are: 1. New old stock - 2019 demo, 5k miles @36k using Tesla loan 2. Be responsible, wait a bit longer, save up a bit more and grab a 3 with a heat pump in 6 months to a year. Maybe by then Berlin would have opened and...

    Would you buy this? Second hand vs new Model 3

    I think all used cars are at the moment. I’m trading in a Golf. I bought it at 15.5k and now, 2.5 years and 20k miles later, I’m being quoted ~12.5-13.5k by various trade in sites. Pre-pandemic i was getting ~10k. I’ll be honest I’m being very irresponsible buying this car - I’m punching a...

    Would you buy this? Second hand vs new Model 3

    I wasn’t really. The benefit, at least at the moment, buying used from Tesla is that all their used 3s come with EAP and the additional year of warranty. Also, Tesla loan (how I’m paying for the car). Most of the 3s on autotrader around the 37k range don’t have EAP (though it seems it may not...

    Would you buy this? Second hand vs new Model 3

    Jeez, haven’t seen a deal like that yet and I’ve been checking their site daily for like 3 weeks. Would jump on that!

    Would you buy this? Second hand vs new Model 3

    Interesting, thank you all for the feedback and insight! Looks like you all might have saved me nearly 4k! I’ll be test driving another Tesla again tomorrow to really finalise my decision. Without EAP the demo is nearly 5k cheaper than new. I think, for me, that’s good enough a saving unless...

    Would you buy this? Second hand vs new Model 3

    So, I know this is quite personal, I guess I’m just getting cold feet. I guess I was hoping to use someone as a throwing board. Was about to order a used 2019 in black from Tesla with 15k miles. Because it’s used it was coming with enhanced autopilot. 37.1k. Sold as I was ordering. A demo...

    Tesla inventory - 2 year old cars sold as new

    It’s brand new, still on the ship en route to the U.K. according to the guy I spoke to. I’d be perfectly happy for a 2019, as long as the price is adjusted adequately. 39.2k for a 2019 model isn’t worth it in my book.

    Tesla inventory - 2 year old cars sold as new

    How come? If you don’t mind me asking. I’ve seen 2021 models with 2-3k miles being sold 3k off, and because they’re demo you’d still be the first owner. They usually have minor differences, like the last lot of demos had the heat pump and electric boot, but the old doors. I figure 3k savings...

    Elon Musk UK visit - potential factory?

    My guess is that it’s power supply related rather than car manufacturing.

    Tesla inventory - 2 year old cars sold as new

    I’ve been looking for a demo/older model Tesla to purchase at a discount so was keen on this initially. But the pre-discount price they’re going on is 42990, even though a new ‘21 model starts at 40990. I asked if they’d take the adjustment based on the current price and was told to buy a new one.
