    Some halloween nonsense

    So the retailer’s wet dream where it’s acceptable to buy and offer sweets to complete strangers has come and (nearly gone - sorry city dwellers) again. So let’s hear who had a laugh with sentry voice and what did you do? I got atleast 3 jumps and one really good scream from the end of my...

    Can someone help me understand where I add toothpaste on a Tesla?

    So I opened the TMC app this morning and was greeted by this informative yet confusing advert suggesting that I add toothpaste to the car for fuel saving performance… the only issue is the instructions are only for ICE vehicles, so whilst I can do this on our van no troubles, where are you all...

    "Cheap" EV runaround... what would you get?

    Just a musing at this point but any interesting insights here may prove useful in the near future as our vehicle needs change. You have >25k for a used (or new / lease) BEV that will need to do mid-short journeys, and which will always be charged at home overnight. It should be decently...

    Anyone else really tempted to just go and sit in their car right now?

    Indoor A/C is great, but the problem arises that they end up struggling to push enough air around. The A/C in the Tesla is so good I might just sit in there with my laptop for a few hours instead of slowly cooking indoors... Anyone else?

    Soft bonnet saving wildlife?

    A quick observation from an experience driving home yesterday evening. We all know the bonnets on our beloved cars are of a sort of emmental-cheese-covered-fibreglass consistency. This presents some problems, namely how easy they are to deform by accident, but I've now experienced another PRO...

    Tesla U.K. have closed all their front of house service teams and it’s absolutely baffling

    I hope you’ll all excuse me for the mild rant and 10pm shoddily-cobbled-together manifesto (of sorts) that follows but it’s got me rustled. During my most recent SC experience I learned that Tesla U.K. have recently absorbed, moved or otherwise closed most if not all of their front of house...

    Meet-up / group drive

    Anyone know of any group drives in the south / south west this year? Hopefully there isn’t a sticky I’m missing somewhere, but now that we’re getting into some warmer weather, I’m gauging interest for a group drive. Me and 2 Tesla buddies interested currently. I’m thinking either a meet up at...

    Soon to have a small back-seat co-pilot, parenting experts, what do I need?

    As per title, we’re soon to have a small back seat occupant in the car with us. First child, so having fitted an isofix car seat, I’m wondering what I’m inevitably missing. Planning some longer trips, and whilst we’ve got plenty of room, it’s all new territory! Any advice on must-have...

    Re-trimmed steering wheel

    Just finished fitting newly re-trimmed steering wheel. Very pleased with the finish, really makes the whole interior feel like new when driving. I went with nappa all round, but perforated at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, centre stripe at 12 o’clock in the same material, original thickness, dark...

    How much force to damage door handles?

    Long story short… How much force (pushing, jabbing, thumping) would it take to damage or misalign the magnet/servo innards of a door handle folks? Just got the car back from a garage, door handle sticks out further than usual, and makes a weird grating noise (like metal scraping on plastic)...

    Removing brake light (charge cable side) - will car need a reset after?

    Apologies if I'm missing an obvious thread that might help with this, but need some advice from those in the know on this please. Long story short is this - debris in the passenger side outer tail/brake light (UK car) - this is the charge port side of the car (2017 model S). Tesla's response...

    Model S warranty affected by tracker being installed?

    Put this on the model s forum initially but wondering if it'd be better moved here as it may be UK specific... Can anyone give me some clarity/peace of mind on this? Basic situation is this: Buying a used model S (in the UK), and my finance provider requires that a Thatcham S6 or S7 tracker is...

    Model s drivetrain & battery warranty - any issues with a thatcham tracker?

    Hopefully putting this in the right place but haven't turned up any relevant answers from a quick search on this forum. Can anyone give me some clarity/peace of mind on this? Basic situation is this: Buying a used model S (in the UK), and my finance provider requires that a Thatcham S6 or S7...
