picked mine up wednesday from Zoltan. not used it yet, but its a big old unit..

Got a call a few weeks ago Martin asking where I would like to collect from. Told them WD, I'll chase them up this week & if I receive it you are welcome to borrow it. I'm in a little village called Sarratt on the Herts/Bucks border.

I've postd this on the facebook page but for those who dont partake on FB i thought it could be useful. A kind cyclist managed to scrape 2 marks on the drivers side door, at first it looked like metal gouged but under closer inspection it looks like a rubber Pedal has scraped it. it has left 2...

I thought i would post this as its a thread running on the facebook page. I have managed to do a deal with a company called Merityre who are nationwide. The manager at their store in Little Chalfont has agreed to supply 4x michelin pilot sport 3 on 19's for £600 including Vat exc fitting. He is...

This is interesting, when we picked up on Sunday the weather was awful, heavy rain & really bad wind, so on the journey home the car did indeed feel a bit light & floaty. Today, i have taken her out for a good spin, A & B roads, D/C & Motorway. I have a " progressive " driving style & have come...

Hi Brunel, yes i did as i didnt realise one had already been done. I shall just delete my FB page & join an existing one. I'll have a butchers on the forum now. ps, i will have to see how to post pictures ( idiot proof )...

So, it's raining here in the not so sunny herts/bucks borders. Usually that would make me miserable, but Today, we are heading down to West Drayton to pick up our Tesla. We were booked in for collection yesterday, however there was a minor hiccup in transit but Tesla Customer Services pulled out...

10m 32amp type 2 m to type 2 f single phase right ? cheers chaps:rolleyes::wink:

welcome chinny, i'm like a child the week before christmas. we go on saturday to pick ours up. Ordered early january so its been a nail-biter. Happy Days

I know i'm prone to being confused but help me out again. So, with my un-tethered single phase 32amp podpoint, will i now have to buy my own type 2 cable to charge at home? I need a cable about 10m long and as we are collecting this coming saturday i might order in advance. Any thoughts chaps?

3 cars on the same weekend to forum members, thats fantastic. We have an admiral MCP also, you know your knocking on when putting on a powerful/luxury car only adds a little, i lease a focus ST 250 and it only added about £10 per month over a little DS3 i was using as a runaround. This car is...

Now i'm getting Really excited. Stefan has just me & we are booked in on Saturday 28th March for collection....

We are due late march delivery Martin. It was originally late April/early May. However Stefan phoned us recently and told us we were looking at getting it early. Rather Excited to say the least.

Many thanks Pierre. I checked the location on Google & was unclear. I imagine that every Tesla owner will use this SC when heading to Europe so it will be used very much. best wishes James

sorry for the english, can this SC be accessed from arrivals & departures? i'm travelling from the uk to the south of france in july & would need to chargte both ways. regards James

I'm going to follow you on that one Rluner. Sorry if i hijacked the thread somewhat.

ive just emailed a company called Power&pyro and they have specced up a schuko 20m 3 core ho7rn-f 2.5mm complete with all sockets crimps & ferrals for £55.20 inc vat & del. All parts are on the shelf & can be dispatched within 24 hrs. Sounds very reasonable to me. Contact is Shay Beckingham if...

unfortunately my chromebook does not allow me to copy & paste, however Nitram look at e-Station-store. A 5m TYpe 2 to 3 is 285 euros. i shall look into all options cheers.J

Cheers Simon, i'll need a 10m one for home as there's always a few cars on the drive & i'd hate that ( car shuffle time ) to get to the Podpoint. Besides, when we get my P85D in 2 years we will need the extra length :biggrin: I reckon you are right about the Ext Lead, i'll just get a good...

I originally wrote 32 amp then thought i got it wrong & wrote 16amp... Thankyou, it is now very clear. I was concerned that the UMC may not be long enough to reach the car if i couldnt park close enough when parked on holiday, hence asking whether i could attach an type2 extension lead. Maybe...

Thanks for the replies everyone. We are now thinking on leaving England about 10/11 am on Friday & taking the calais /senlis route & staying overnight in Auxerre to break the journey up. I've been checking on Chargemap & many of the charging points are still 3c, however one in the Beziers Auchan...

I think i'm nearly there. So, the car is supplied with a 16amp 7.5m Type 2 to type 2 which is suitable for ( type 2) podpoint home charging & `16amp fast charging & 16amp medium charging. Not Chademo unless i manage to buy the adaptor & 32amp cable. I shall buy the Tesla UMC cable with a uk...

Martin i was looking on EVC earlier & they also do an 8m type 2 to type 2 rated at 32amps, its about £250 including vat but i presume could be a good option to use as an extension lead & a cable to be used at home, just keep the Tesla supplied one for travelling regularly with. Thanks chaps it...

;-) Had to delete that post due to stupidity. I understand the Tesla will arrive with the Tesla Cable & a type 2 to type 2. I will find out if they have a UMC & probably buy a 3pin uk adaptor & possibly the EU 2 pin option also. It would be very convenient to charge whilst at the Villa as it...

ive been looking at the Calais SC, cant tell from google but hoping its available to outbound/inbound. I've been reading some threads on SpeakEv & think it will probably be better going the Senlis /Auxerre route, without sounding like a plum, i could actually put the pedal to the metal & then...

I'm now really confused?. mind you it doesnt take a lot tbh. The car is due in a few weeks, the untethered Podpoint is already installed. Now im looking at our roadtrip to the south of france & im looking at back up plans. I'm pretty much sure that i can get there & back using the SC network...

Hello again, similar thread to the one i started with us going to The Alps. We decided yesterday that we are going to take the Tesla down to the South of France in July & stay near Beziers. The obvious SC route is one i frankly would dread, Senlis to Auxerre and passing close to Paris. I was...

We should arrive in Calais with about 150 miles range left. top up a charge then head down to Matogues.The calais to matougues is the only part of the journey that i have any form of range anxiety about. infact, we could actually break the journey at this point and stay overnight. The car will...

Good morning, thanks for the replies. I'm thinking instead of calais to senlis i might go calais to Matougues which although longer at 201miles it may be less busy going away from paris plus the range should be ok as i will have a 85kw tesla. my route could be Calais to Matougues, Matougues to...

Please excuse me for not posting in french but i would appreciate some route advice from my french cousins. We take delivery later this month of our wonderful new Tesla & have decided to have our vacation in July near Beziers. We were going to book Lake Annecy as it would have been simple to get...

Andy, the 19's are running on all weather tyres so socks or chains should suffice this time of year. I've had AWT's on my wives lexus and it behaved better in ice/snow that my old defender on road tyres. Dpeilow, I'm thinking French Alps will be easier, although looking at SC's I could always go...

Righto you clever bunch, here's a little topic i would like some feedback on please. We usually fly to The Alps and usually end up paying through the nose for the privilege of it. Not always with the flights but sometimes the transfers cripple us at its usually Myself, Mrs G & the 4...

Hi Scouser, we went 85, standard white paintwork, pano roof, 19" rims, Tech Pack, Dual Chargers, thats it from the top of my head. The reason i went DC's was that although we would utilise the SC Network i wanted the option of faster charging if/when we go abroad and just wanted to cover as many...

We have taken out our S85 on finance with Tesla over 6 years and specced up with a few extras & its just over £915 per month. The wife likes to keep her cars, whereas i change every year or 2. For her, its not just the car, it's equally what it represents from a Tech perspective & a finger up to...

Cheers for the info, podpoint phoned me last night. They are ordering an untethered unit for me. Am i right in thinking the Tesla comes with a 7m cable. If thats the case i'm sure i'll be fine. To be honest, i'm probably being paranoid & i'm sure i can get within a couple of meters of the unit...

Hello All, we placed our order for our S85 not long after Christmas, they said it should be with us sometime in May. However the OH got a phonecall yesterday saying that its already built & awaiting shipping. I didnt want to mess around too much, equally Pod|Point contacted us yesterday with...

Hi Everyone, well we went to see Mo @ West Drayton today and decided to order anyway, regardless of the Tax Implications we need to have our Tesla. So, its deposit paid & order processed, just have to wait now until late April/May. Thanks for all the help & guidance everyone & I look forward to...

Hello, well we went to see Mo @ Tesla again at the weekend. Spent some time running over things & looking at finance options etc. We have decided to go ahead and order, which i shall be doing in the next day or so. Unfortunately for us, there are no Demo's longer available as he sold his last...

I live just outside the M25 on the Herts/Bucks borders. we have a drive & are going to install our own charging point. However, the wife works about 10 miles West of Heathrow so will once a week poodle along to the West Drayton Store plug the car in, get her laptop out, grab a coffee & put her...

thanks for all the replies everyone. due to christmas etc we are going back to see Mo tomorrow for another test drive & to look at the best finance we can sort out. Someone on here may be able to steer in the right direction. The wife has started a new company & i understand that if we purchase...

Sorry I called the Tech Pack a Media Pack. I'll get it eventually . Trust me the good lady will need the auto pilot

Where's my chequebook..... We test drove the S60 on 19" rims with pano roof in black with fabric interior so pretty much the base model, but we are both addicted & the wife is phoning the accountant first thing Monday. I'm a bit of a petrolhead but nothing compares to the sheer linear power...

Thanks for all the advice so far. We are both very excited even about just a test drive. I'm constantly on YouTube looking at all the clips. I have even been outside to check on my electrical supply already. It's interersting about the roof rack situation, we always use one when holidaying so...

Good afternoon, so the test drive is booked, I'm looking at the finances and we are pretty confident that we will be singing up on Saturday. I'm just wondering which Extras are absolutely vital for maximum enjoyment & functionality. Although I would love the P85D, the good lady would probably...

I am going to West Drayton for a test drive this Saturday. My wife up until now has never shown any interest in cars (lexus owner) but is very excited and already sold on the idea, infact I think we both are. She's the one who will be using it daily for work although I may get a spin at the...
