    Bike rack solutions for MY

    I can fit two mountain bikes on the boot, I reckon you can just about fit three bikes but with the seats folded down you won't be able to carry that extra passenger. So without a tow your only option is to get roof bars and get bike racks. https://shop.tesla.com/en_gb/product/model-y-roof-rack

    Order & APR change

    The 3.9% APR offer was real, it started near the end of January and was only supposed to last till 31st of January. Then they decided to extend that to 28th of Feb. And just yesterday they reverted it back to the now 7.9%.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I also cancelled my previous order and placed a new one due to the drop in APR. Got my £200 deposit refunded. Got a VIN a few hours later, I feel Tesla will lower prices again soon.

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Yes I suspect that too, at least in the UK. Went to Trafford Centre to return my car last Saturday expecting loads of people either picking up or test driving, but no, it was dead quiet. There's cars on inventory every day, and there are a few ship loads coming in the next few weeks.

    [UK] Price cuts

    Did you email them on your intention of returning your car?

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    It is more apparent now that Tesla don't care much for "customer loyalty". They make great products that speak for itself, arguably offering the best packaged EV on the market, and they do not need advertisements nor customer services in the sense of pleasing them. They just make "shut up and...

    Email from Tesla? - Action Required for Personal Contract Purchase Direct Debit mandate

    Getting the same issue. Received an email from Tesla saying action is needed there is no DD mandate or something like that. Already have entered bank details and it is stuck on pending. I guess we just need to get hold of someone from Tesla's finance team to sort this out.

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Thank you, likewise enjoy your collection day tomorrow : ) Yes mine was listed as "Less than 50 mile odometer" demo car, £3000 off. I checked tesla-info it only has 6 miles on the odometer, and adviser confirmed it is basically brand new. Sadly using the reg vehicle wasn't found, I guess I...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    I'm collecting this Fri, and yes I've got my reg and vin. I haven't checked myself so not 100% sure, but yes I'll be the second owner first owner being Tesla, I'm taking the adviser's word for it!

    Tesla stock - how low will it go?

    Nobody can time the exact bottom but if you believe in Tesla just dollar cost average, split your investment pot and buy at increments, buy some when it drops, buy some more if it drops more.

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    I believe some are as an adviser told me the one I'm getting is pre reg to Tesla, unless I'm the odd one!

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    There are still cars on Tesla inventory that are "pre reg" cars, but basically brand new sold as "demo cars". For demo cars/used cars, they do list what they deem as acceptable conditions on the listing page, which seems scary to me tbh. I'll be collecting my model Y this Fri travelling all the...

    Unprovoked road rage...

    I have experienced quite a few road rage during my 6 months of M3 ownership. Most notably is a van driver coming from the opposite direction purposely swirled into my lane at the last minute and then back, scared the crap out of me. And this happened twice, both from van drivers. Driving my...

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Prices have indeed dropped for Model 3 and Model Y in China. Model Y RWD have dropped 16,912 CNY, that's around £2050, and referral programs have resumed in China. This really isn't surprising given the happenings that has been discussed here and hopefully UK prices will follow soon.

    Tesla Financial Services - Uncontactable?

    I got a reply from their finance team within 1 day, and that was for requesting an early settlement letter. I would imagine response time depends on the nature of your query.

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Demand is slowing down in China, and/or supply ramping, whichever it is wait time for a MY is now as little as a week! And Tesla is now offering subsides of around £1k towards insurance for new buyers, which is effectively a price cut. It is my thought that they may be forced to drop their price...

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    It's not about the space, but really the lowered car position, we need to kneel in and crawl out of the M3. Didn't thought it was an issue at first but it's taking its toll now. It's just that the arrival of something like the MG4 made me think more about how an EV is valued and its worth...

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Although I would be happy to pay £52k for the MY rwd back when I placed the order, it is all the events that happened and/or finding out after (mentioned on original post) that put me into unease. Not to mention, a price cut has technically happened in China, car buyers are offered incentives...

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Yes there is a massive ICE market to displace, but I would imagine the majority would not be with £50k+ cars. So what do you think of BYD, NIO, up coming Huawei's car, and so much more companies around the world not just legacy makers, are they not worthy competition? And with the arrival of MG4...

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    I'm currently waiting for my MY rwd, with delivery date keep pushing forward now November 06, and seeing recent happenings and arrival of MG4 (to challenge that a value EV can also be good) leaves me with an uneasy feeling. China's delivery time for the MY rwd is now 1-4 weeks, and I can't...

    Standard Range Model Y Delivery Group

    Yes buying blind especially for a car is definitely not a wise thing to do. My budget couldn't get the model y until SR came along, and without hesitation I went for it. I just can't see myself driving other brands right now, tesla is just a perfect combination of tech+car for me that actually...

    Standard Range Model Y Delivery Group

    I'm exactly in the same situation as you. Also got my m3 rwd in March, also loving it but wanted something to get in/out easier for my family. I wanted to go for a test drive but strangely I wanted the surprise when I actually get the car! How you finding the suspension, as every reviewer is...

    Thank you :) I went for white, 19", thought I'd give it a shot to see if we get lucky to get Berlin made 😅 (as far as I know they currently only make Y's in 2 colours, white and black) I'll be replacing a m3 as well waiting for the quote on part exchange.. You're part exchanging or selling...

    Model Y RWD Now available

    If the tesla rep is to be believed, it will most likely be from Shanghai

    Model Y RWD Now available

    Yep! Perfect timing as I was looking to replace my model 3 for an SUV (needed the more space), almost ordered the iX1 and this morning without hesitation placed my order for the model Y RWD 😁 Saw a comment earlier there's a chance it will come with BYD Blade and made from Berlin?

    Wireless Phone Charger

    Don't know if I have a defective phone or wireless pad on my m3, but I swear it destroyed my Galaxy S22's battery! I don't use the wireless pad as heard it makes the phone hot but decided to try it since it is the best place to put your phone anyway.. I went for a 1 hour drive putting my phone...

    What made you choose a Tesla?

    I chose to get a tesla m3 for.. broadly speaking, its simplicity. From the ordering process, to the car itself, it's so simple and hassle free. It's basically a fully loaded car as basic, no more stupid packages other car manufacturers have you go through and pay up. Zero cluttering inside...

    Octopus Go (SCAM) ??

    Ah! It seems it is the data downloaded using n3rgy that is wrong. Readings from Octopus account seems to be correct. Still strange why one is displaying differently than the other, supposedly pulled from the same smart meter data. See the uploaded pics, 1 is from n3rgy showing 0:00 3.944, 2 is...

    Octopus Go (SCAM) ??

    I'm noticing something strange on my meter timings. I have set my wallbox to start charge at 00:30, but pulling data from my smart meter through n3rgy I was charged at 00:00 (I see the massive amount of kWh used at this time). I then set charge start at 01:00 and n3rgy showing 00:30. I've...

    There goes the neighbourhood... shared SCs in France

    I'm just wondering how this will work out.. efficiently that is. Like the VW on your pic, it has the charging port on the opposite side of a Tesla, so for it to charge will end up occupying two chargers.

    Wallbox

    No issue for me so far. I skip the bluetooth when opening the app and use wifi to connect to wallbox.

    Octopus Go sign up

    I contacted them through Twitter and they helped me to switch. They will put you on their normal standard tariff first and then you will apply for Go on their website. Use my referral if you do switch so we both get £50 credit 🙌

    So I have successfully picked up my model 3 a few days ago from Trafford Centre, I almost missed the pickup time 4:30pm got there at 4:50pm and they close at 5pm it was a close one. There were two other people after me picking their car up, probably got stuck in traffic like me. Absolutely...

    No worries, glad to hear the service is up to par as they should! Yeah from this picture the panel gaps at the rear boot doesn't seem too bad, but would need to examine a closer look. I've heard horror stories of people fixing the boot gap but end up making it worse, creating new problems...

    The text started as a collection date reminder. Then it is just one sentence regarding this: "Please note we cannot guarantee the level of charge on your car." I'm guessing they do this so they can pump out as many car as they can in the shortest time. I only got one date to choose from for...
