    Sorry, Newbie Tesla Charging Network Question

    I understand the standard etiquette of not leaving your car plugged in when fully charged in normal charging locations. My thoughts were if someone was on a 5-6 hour shopping splurge, would you be expected to go back mid shop to move your car or is it deemed acceptable in these type of charging...

    Sorry, Newbie Tesla Charging Network Question

    Morning all, I've had my tesla a couple of years and I have rarely had to use the tesla charging network as I live on the Isle of Wight. Anyway my question, I have tried googling this and can't find an answer to my query. I'm planning a trip tomorrow to London Stratford, taking my daughter...

    That’s my new baby on the ferry on its way back home to the Isle of Wight. Last car on, tried to politely ask the old man waving his bike within inches of my car to please be careful as it’s a brand new car to which I got rudely told to keep my distance. Needless to say I had to restrain myself...

    Hi I think the powder coated Gemini’s look great. Do you mind me asking how much you paid overall. Also how long did it take, ie can you just leave the car with a powder coater for the day? Did you also paint or buy replacement brake callipers? Cheers

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I got them from Alibaba.com, someone posted the links many pages back, can’t find them now. Obviously took a few weeks to get here from china. Quality seems ok, can’t test fit until the 22nd. Currently got them laid out flat with weights on to straighten them out from being rolled up for shipping.

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    Anybody else like me, seem to have an array of bits for my MY LR and still don’t even know when I’ll be collecting it. After placing my order with Fleetprices lease company back in early December. I had to get it all out today, as I’ve forgot what I have ordered over the months of waiting. It...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Morning all, has anyone who has used Hitachi financing through various leasing companies got a delivery date yet? Especially if it would be a Southampton pickup.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Really thinking I picked the wrong company, shame it’s too late to change it now. To be fair they said March delivery and there’s still chance they will but that, just very frustrating with everyone else getting vin numbers and collection dates up to the end of March.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Got very excited today when I received an email from FleetPrices with the subject order update. To only open the email with a generic email to say they are contacting Hitachi the financing company for an update. I replied with a request to get a Vin number if possible. A couple of notes, I was...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    If I wanted March delivery I had to go with their stock build. Think all of the financing lease dealers were pulling from the same 100 stock units with different body colours. I could of customised but would have had to wait 3-6 months longer. I had already committed to getting rid of my Velar...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Hi Cass, yer I agree on gun metal grey and not a true black. Do you think fitting and removing the covers will scuff up the powder coating with how the covers fit inside the rim?

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Also a quick question on peoples feelings re wheels. As I ordered through a leasing company I didn't get the option to customise the spec so my car is coming with the Gemini 19" with Aero hub caps. I've gone for pearl white, like I have done for many of my cars and I like the dark contrasting...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Is it worth giving Tesla a call direct if I've ordered my MY LR via FleetPrices in Dec 21 who use Hitachi for the financing. My Master Hire agreement with Hitachicapital was fully completed in mid Jan and I was always given late feb - to early march for an estimated delivery. Now seeing everyone...

    Has anyone else ordered via Fleetprices on a lease deal? I've been told a month back that I will be collecting from Southampton with an ETA of early March. Now people are collecting from Southampton I've emailed to check on an ETA and not heard anything back. I've asked for my VIN multiple times...
