I've just bought TE15 LAR which although not perfect, I think it looks quite nice for £399! Roy

Hi Aaron Lex Leasing working out quite a bit cheaper than the others for me - I have a business lease with 15k miles pa over a long 5 years (hey its going to get better with time!) Email Dawn on Dawn.Cook at lexautolease.co.uk (change at to @!) - she knows all about the Tesla and options now! Roy

Hi Rich i have had the same thoughts and worries as you and this is how I resolved them .... I was originally going to order the car with textile seats as I do quite like them and was also worried about the leather seats "sagging" but decided with this level of car leather seats are almost...

If I am in say Newcastle (100 miles from home north of Leeds) and I breakdown does anyone know what will happen? Will I get taken home? Will my car go all the way to WD? Roy

... and there's one at Tankersley Manor just off the M1 J36 from next month ... it's a start!

There are quite a few being rolled out in the North over the next few months (apparently) ... There is certainly one going online next month at Tankersley Manor just off J36 on the M1 ... See Barnsley Hotels - Tankersley Manor Hotel - QHotels ... I'm sure there's one near Leeds that will be...

I've just spoken to the Maintenance Manger at Tankersley Manor near Barnsley who has confirmed the Supercharger groundworks are currently happening and the Supercharger should be live by the end of February! This is around 1/2 mile from the M1 J36.

Does anyone know if there's any way to get that type of reporting on a "normal" home install. I have a 32a Rolec point with an EM Lite meter (Automatic Meter Reading by GPRS) but I don't think there's any way at getting at the data. Is it possible to put an additional meter inline that will...

I'm trying to find the Leeds Supercharger and have called the Manager at Sainsburys at both Colton and the White Rose centre in Leeds but neither know anything about a Supercharger. I'll keep looking .....

Thanks to all and the great summary from mgboyes. I think I'll do exactly what you've suggested above!!!

Wow, thanks for the detailed updates guys. I'm not sure that I've found the solution but that's certainly given me lots to look into - thank you. just out of interest what miles/hour can I expect from a stand 13a plug - 8/9 miles per hour?

Hi Simon i don't really *need* a charger at work as I suspect 90% of my charging will be done at home but I thought we might as well install one for emergencies and thought 3 phase would be better for the minimal price difference. I do have dual chargers but speed is not really an issue - I...

I've now had my Rolec 32A point installed at home and looking at something similar for our offices. It looks as though I can get the same Rolec 32A single phase point like this or a Rolec 32A 3 phase point like this. Is there any reason NOT to go for the 3 phase version (as we have this...

Car Collection from Knutsford? Any chance you would also be able to check if it is possible to pick up a car here? My car is due in MArch and Knutsford is nearer than WD! Thanks Roy (Knaresborough, North Yorkshire)

Hi Chris Can you offer any information on the best sealant/wax products? I've been a big fan of Meguiars in the past (especially their Quick Detailer) but hand-massaging Swissvax Onyx after a clay clean has probably given me the best finish I've ever had on a car. What would you recommend? Roy

I too am getting a 32a Rolec homecharger free of charge - I'm based in Harrogate in North Yorkshire and have been dealing with The Phoenix Works and their communication has been excellent. They were a little worried that I was too prepared as my car isn't due until April and they were not sure...

Following some of the ChargeMaster issues mentioned here and especially the problem with the overheating/melting connectors I've cancelled my ChargeMaster installation and moved to Rolec who are installing a 32a charger free of charge! So far the service has been great (but it's not installed...

Do you already have your Tesla Ian or are you on the waiting list? Do you also have tickets for CarFest? Roy

Hi Yorkshire_By_Eck ... I spoke with my salesperson today to see if it is worth waiting for an S85D as I feel I could wait for July but Sept/Oct is a bit too far away and he has said that a P85D could be as early as July but realistically S85D's won't commence until September.... We'll have to...

Definitely. I've just noticed you're hoping for delivery in "summer 15" .... I was under the impression the S85D wasn't shipping to the UK until at least September? ..... Or is that (late) summer 15?

Just wondered if anyone is planning to go to CarFest at Oulton Park next year? ... It would be good to have a Tesla meet up. I'm sure I posted this a few days ago and it disappeared. Did someone delete it? Was it posted in the wrong place? Roy

I'm pretty sure you'll be ok. Tesla will be well covered with insurance just make sure you take both pieces of your driving license and enjoy the ride! They'll take a few details from you then talk you through all the features in the car. Then it's off on the road for a 20min or so drive. Put...

Thanks for the quick reply Arg, thats exactly what I was looking for! Roy

Hi All I have only recently ordered a Tesla model S and contacted Chargemaster to install a charging unit at home but it would be useful to have one at our offices in Leeds too. We have our own electricians so wondered if it would be something they could install? Is there a trade supplier in...

Thanks for all the info guys - if I wasn't confused before I am now! My preference would be for the "D" but I cannot wait another 11-12 months for it to arrive in the UK so I'll have to go with the S85 ...which should arrive in Feb/March! :-) You've confirmed my suspicions on the 21" wheels -...

Hi all After spending hours pouring over the Tesla website and watching every available online video I'm about to place my order for a Tesla Model S ..... I'm leasing the car over 5 years (yes I know it's a long time!) doing around 15k miles pa ... My spec is simple and the reasons behind the...

Ah yes .. I was just getting a bit over excited! :-) Looks like I'll have to put up with a sluggish 5.2secs! lol

Thanks for all the info guys - I've just realised that I could order the "D" for less than the price as the 21" wheels ....3.2 seconds ... hmmmmm!

Hi Yorkshire_By_Eck Can I ask where you are in NY? I'm in Knaresborough and would appreciate a trip out to see your car when it arrives! :-) Roy

Hi All I'm on the verge of ordering a Tesla Model S 85 and pretty sure I want black but cannot decide on the wheels having not seen these in real life - I'm also struggling to find any good photos that will show me the difference. If you have a Black Model S could you post me a photo please...
