Update. So I booked it in again. A few days later they cancelled my appointment and sent my an email saying again they are aware of the issue and it will be fixed in a later update. It feels they will keep saying this until my warranty runs out on the MCU then they will tell me they can fix...

Just an update. My local Tesla dealer told me after investing that it was just a firmware issue and HQ knew about this bug and would fix it in a firmware update. Although after researching myself I’m convinced it’s the eMMC failing, I patiently waited for v10 update. (Does anyone know of any...

Hi all. I’ve had my Model S for just under five years and I love it to bits. However, last week we just completed a 2300 mile road trip to the south of France. During this trip the Main screen started to play up, I’m guessing due to the heat, but not definite. Any graphics or writing on it...

Sorry to say, no it doesn’t.

We traveled to France in our Model S in 2017, there was no issues with charging. However, as numbers of Teslas have risen drastically since then the situation could be different. We are heading to the south of France the last week of August too, so any update on here maybe to late for you. As...

Reduce top speed, reduce acceleration, maximise regeneration (as said above this can be a game), don’t travel up and down hills as much, don’t brake until below 5mph, (another game) Sticking to the speed limits helps lots too. Turn on your favourite tunes or enjoy the silence of your car, chill...

I’ve just received my insurance renewal from Tesla’s apparently preferred insurance company Direct Line. Last year it was £532, and now they want £666. That’s a £134 increase btw. In the past year my wife and I have had no change in circumstances, (apart from both aging an extra year ofc) and...

Yes that's the one. Thanks so much. 3 minutes after my post, such a fast response time. Thank you again.

A number of months ago I remember reading an alternative view of EVs. In a world where everyone drives EVs and has done for a hundred years, a new car in town promises to be able to refuel in minutes by using petrol and the writer is excited to be heading to test drive this new petrol car...

Well done to both of you. It's an amazing car, I'm sure you will both love them. What colours did you go for?

I've been reading some posts on another forum, and it seems that speedo accuracy on some EVs is like most ICE cars I've ever had ie about ten percent faster than it should be. These weren't Tesla owners btw. Ive checked a number of times my Tesla speedo against at least two other GPS devices...

Final Update Hastings Direct £3,5000 NFU £1283 Excess £1600 (Actually confirmed my postcode was the main issue to the price) Compare The Market - Cheapest Admiral Little Black Box £1300 That`s about it, I think I`ve covered all the sites and insurance brokers that have been recommended and a...

Thanks Arg for confirming with a link, I had read earlier h and l but when I googled it I only found handr broker in Scotland. I'm now waiting for a call back from Home & Legacy . They have informed me they currently insure over 130 Tesla MS. I will update when I get a price from them. I hope...

Summery Update of my findings so far. (For the record I'm over 50 with Full 9 Years NCD, and zero convictions and zero accidents, but estimated 20k miles p.a. to be fair.) For the Quotes [Fully Comp, Social Only] I managed to get the excess ranges from £500 to £1850 First Point, (Dan), Hiscox...

Just an update. First Point, (Dan), Hiscox Northampton broker, they can`t quote as it doesn't have a Cat 5 tracker on it. Saga (Holly Wilson) after doing a full 15 minute quote told me they don`t cover Electric cars at all, btw the very first quest was my reg plate and I confirmed it was an...

Next month I'm due to insure my MS again after adding it onto an existing policy that had less than a year to run. I was wondering which insurance companies MS users are currently using ATM? My wife informs me that at least one large insurance company (Confused.com) still says my car does not...

I'd missed that one, so Ty. Another for the North! Gretna Green. Tesla Store, Service Centers and Chargers

Well at last, one for the North! At a much needed location Abington [Supercharger] ML12 6RG This finally makes the Edinburgh airport SC accessible from Warrington SC in all weather conditions and at, I guess most speeds. (Below maybe 100 mph!)...

I noticed today another well located SC, far nearer to completion than I expected. Photo taken a few minutes ago. Lets clock another up for up for the South. (Joking apart, I am very happy to have these southerly SCs, please don't take my North South split to serious) Oxford, Wheatley...

I would start just as Tesla did in London. However then I would roll out with as even as possible distance gaps across the UK, to allow travel to and from London to the rest of the UK. What the hell happened in Wincester? Are the SCs about six miles apart? Where is the logic there? The gap...

I've just read a tweet on this same subject. The simple rule is ABC. Always Be Charging If your car is charging then it's fine to be there. Once it's not, move off.

On Twitter recently I have been reading tweets about just how expensive it is to repair a #Tesla MS. However, I've have seen replies that costs seem to be inline with other Aluminium luxury cars. Has anyone any experience with this? Sorry, I forgot to add to the subject In the UK market.

Excluding Supercharges, I think most agree that the network isn't reliable enough for most EV users to use for long distance travel. Knowing how long an EV has been on / still requires charging, would make charging a little less hassle. Apps have been released to tackle these questions but...

Watch this video to find out how the UK gov. are reforming car tax in the #SummerBudget To me, this implies NO EVs will pay VED regardless of being over 40k. The third lot of writing says it all "Electric cars won't pay any car tax at all" Twitter Video

Ty. Gretna has been long needed and overdue for North South travel. Fingers crossed. More pictures please if anyone is passing, of the ground works development further to Matt Beards Twitter post. Lets see that SC in Gretna!

Very interesting, I haven't noticed that on Twitter, can you point me to a hash tag or user please?

Excellent news, Hopwood Park Services Redditch Road Birmigham, United Kingdom B48 7AU With 6 #Superchargers, available 24/7 is open. http://www.teslamotors.com/findus#/bounds/52.5688762,-1.7098294,52.385999,-2.0174336?place=birmighamhopwoodparksupercharger This is in a great location for North...

Thanks for the info, I feel a little better now.

With respect to the previous posters I have to disagree with you, no offence meant. I live in the NW of England and I have duel chargers; and I have to say it's been worth every penny for me and my family, in time saved over a single charger, especially traveling to and in and around Scotland...

I understand you now have to request dual chargers are enabled after the order is placed. I personally am very happy with choosing dual chargers and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or choose them again. However with the new CHAdeMO adaptor available, most users seem to recommend this...

Gz on getting a date. It's a great day, enjoy it. It's a great car, that keeps getting better, enjoy it everyday. I do.

After seeing a feature in another app which can put a help message out to Tesla owners within a 25 mile radius, it made me question if having a real time communication to other Tesla UK drivers would be of use, maybe only in case of emergency, maybe not. Having used google Hangouts previously I...

I don't claim, I'm simple quoting what was stated in the original post and referenced from Wikipedia about the center of the British Isles. Center of British Isles Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_points_of_the_United_Kingdom I must admit in all honesty it...

Thank you everyone who replied. I opted for the Tesla UMC in the end. Delivery was next day, but just short of £500 with one three pin end. I used it the first weekend I got it, as a destination charger in Wales. Set off full and made an easier trip home.

With respect, cars travel on roads not population centres. This thread; as can be seen from the very first post is about location based travel around the country, which as everyone realises requires SC to be spaced over the country fairly equally. @smac I'm really happy for any SC to be placed...

New SC Barnsley, UK Church Lane by Tankersley Manor hotel. Clock another one up for the south!

Mines rubbish a lot too, just like you say. it's not only you.

May I ask you what scale of fee you paid for this 1.84% five year remortgage and who it was with? Btw I would use multiple Santander accounts to maximise your return until you require the money. Safe, really good return, and easily accessible.

I live in the NW and purchased an S85 last Dec. I'm hoping to do 30k miles over the first year. I regularly cover the areas you cover except Cumbria, on top of this I've already travelled to Edinburgh and Portsmouth and a number of places on route. I've got plans to visit Cornwall and Northern...

Easiest rule I know of charging is ABC ..... Always Be Charging while in a charging spot. I always leave my contact number on view too.

My family and I are off on a trip around Scotland in the summer and after looking at charging options my wife and I have decided to purchase a 3 pin charger. After googling I've found two from £395 to £414 and length 5m to 10m, as below. Type 2 Portable Mode 2 UK 3Pin EVSE Charger (6/10A) 10M...

I have to agree with the last posters, 4.8m is a good lenght. Mines actually behind the car when I park up, but I need to go round a large post to get to the car, I still have plenty. Can you measure from the rear of the car to the location of the charge point, if you can get the car to within...

Update to my original post; where most users would seem to have disagreed with me for various reasons. Feb 4 2015 "But the EPA confirmed to me that Tesla has used 100-percent battery SOC for all its EPA range testing, including the most recent tests. JB Straubel, Tesla's chief technology...

In six weeks of driving around north west UK plus runs to Wales and Edinburgh, apart from parked on SC or in showrooms I have yet to see a MS, as you say, in the wild. update. 100 posts for me. Lol

That's a great plate for the money you paid.

Are you planning on trying it? I dont fancy that 270 miles in hilly terrain over winter tbh. It will be interesting when it's do able by SC only. Re 270 miles on one charge:- Uk estimated range in miles

Lol at first glace I have to agree. It's certainly a nice location for users moving around the area and obviously very very welcomed. However....[here it comes]..if you read the first line of the original post you will see this SC is still geographical in the South of the UK. Nit picking...

I've just installed it.

It was similar when I ordered. It showed late Nov until I confirmed and then it changed to late Dec. I got it on the 22nd of Dec in the end. My best guess for you is mid June. Go go and warch every you tube video you can on the car and read all the forums you can, that with work and family...

A few days ago I returned to the Warrington SC to find two MS charging. After speaking to both they were both nearly finished, so I decided to wait until both had finished before charging, to see what rate I would get. Solo, from 4% ( 7 miles I think ) remains charge, I very quickly pulled...
