Nice car but they need to get the range up as they did with the Model 3 RWD.

The pearl white is amazing and looks flat when dirty as do the other colours. Got my first chip on the lower part of the front bumper and why on earth is the undercoat black on white cars. Between the rain and showers been adding paint protection film to the side sills, back bumper and after a...

Check out the EV database site. We all lose say 50 miles before we press the accelerator pedal so our cars are well below the 317 or 331 miles stated on the Tesla web site. I doubt a Y RWD could make your 180 mile journey without a charge and your car needs the motor and larger battery to tip...

The problem with the SUV EV's is their increased weight means larger battery and an extra motor to have a workable range and as they start with poor efficiency. Will most likely see a range of 233 miles on the car and have a range well below 200 miles at motorway speeds.

Same here on a new Model 3 and sounds like the motor is under stress and hit its stop and continues to try to spin and causing the robotic like sound. Its ok on the other windows. Interesting Ebay are selling the window mechanisms as if it's a known problem. The window was squeaking so added a...

To add a little to this discussion it seems if I plug in my charger without pushing the plug at an angle to the front of the car the control pin is not engaging and have the car trying to lock the charge port and failing with the same message and know I have the knack with the angle can make the...

The highest insurance group. I say no more.

Loving the car and fitted my Uberturbine effect wheel covers last week to protect the alloys edge and I must say they totally transform the appearance of the white car.

For myself its twice us much to insure a Model Y compared to a Model 3 with 25 years no claims. The highest group.

Yes can be a very dangerous car to drive with its sudden acceleration can catch un-aware the slow fuel cars as we pass. I'm now being more aware of the difference in acceleration and more careful to be within the reaction times of the slower cars.

Have a wireless game controllers with a usb dongle and seems to need USB 2.0 and tried the centre console USB C sockets with a hub to find not working and then tried a USB 2.0 hub in the glove box to find needs USB 3.0 to record clips in sentry mode. Now have a USB 3.0 hub daisy chained to the...

Amazing car but they still seem to get one side of the car perfect and the other side not so good with the panel gaps. Got two doors that have suspect alignment. Looking for a second opinion so will go through with the mobile visit and see what the service engineer has to say. Super efficient...

Must say the first thing that struck me when my car arrived is how good the white paint looks. It pops out with the trim and dark wheels. Such a crisp white. I’m now thinking this car looks so unusual will keep the Aero wheel covers on. Just like my last car BMW 4 series and so low to the ground...

Import tax was around £27. Just click on buy and they tell you before payment.

I must be getting the celebrity treatment as just had the Tesla Hub manager on the phone saying my car has to be charged on route and then they will call me as they get nearer to my home. Really surprised as expect there really busy. My kitchen is full of accessories ready to go with the...

Hopefully it goes ok. Congrats.. They can always find you another car. They got lots. I got two. lol.

Car number 2 on its way and just changed the insurance. A day late but their you go.

Just to show you might still be messed around even when you have a collection or delivery slot. I waited all day yesterday for my car to receive a phone call at 5pm to say cars not arriving today. Now Zen Auto are saying tomorrow and just got a call from Tesla themselves as seems after agreeing...

Delivery tomorrow. Cross fingers.

Possibly they might say too close to the edge.

48 hours to go. lol. I would say if I have completed 7 months could be next month and if completed 9 months any time will receive a text. Check when the next ship arrives.

Was looking at the M3's passing me on the motorway yesterday and thought blue is now looking dark navy without the summer light. Team white. lol.

Let it go now please.

Can’t see in the replies.

It does make sense to check with your insurance company and make sure they will cover a claim. I would’nt assume anything.

Assume the accessory market has picked up that us RWD owners feel their missing out not being able to say Long Range. lol.

Insurance will ask you if car has been modified during application. Best check as you don’t want any surprises.

I was wondering will you have to tell your insurance company if you add AB?

I don't think its soft close and we can always tell a good quality car by the way the doors close. I shall report if its not up to BMW standards.

Got these from AliExpress. Their good for the more costly items.

Always a balancing act between what your prepared to pay for a claim with the compulsory and voluntary and a low premium.

Unless you pay the higher price they don't tend to come with the center cap due to copyright laws as their available separately for a small sum. AlliExpress sell the covers from China's market with import Tax for much lower than the original manufacturers.

No one will know. lol.

Yes but their is a big market for accessories and we all know we can alter the appearance of our cars.

Nice wheels. The problem with the cars being nearly identical and with all the accessories you can buy we can even go as far as sticking a dual motor badge on the back and everyone will think your driving the LR model.

Check the ships heading your way and then look our for a text 1 week before the ship arrives. Lease Company have no idea as Tesla will hedge their bets and say a longer EDD and then its Tesla who arrange your home delivery.

So I always stay well away from grouping my insurance together as they always make the compulsory very high to give you a reasonable premium. Tesla's have always been in the highest insurance groups and surprisingly the same as a Ferrari and expect other factors like new to the UK and...

It’s worse for a lease car as you can’t check for the VIN as they order it for you.

Nope Tesla give and Tesla deliver. 12 days.

All the best everyone and I expect we will all be sitting in our cars on Christmas day waiting for the big update.

Yes as insurance could give you a low value compared to what you owe on finance or a lease and the battery is so expensive it could right the car off.

Thank you isn't that a coincidence we have the same delivery day. Lets have a look on the dock cameras and see if we can find our cars. Their she is. lol.

To give you an idea of cost just purchased Gap insurance for 4 years at £183 with a little discount from ALA and seems such a small amount to have the peace of mind past the 1st year.

Mine starts with 615.

From my experience Tesla will send you a text message saying Tesla Action required when your car is due for delivery and then the lease company is notified at the same time so can ask them for the VIN and registration. Jump on the insurance as soon as you can to lock the price as has gone up.

I have my official VIN so wondering how I would check if my cars on a ship? Arriving at my home on the 28th September.

My theory is their using the Tesla site estimate so when you have hit this time your next in the queue.
