I carry a BMW X5 space saver wheel in the frunk with a breaker bar and a low profile bottle jack that has a 5 tonne capacity. Much more self sufficient than some gunk, and much more peace of mind for long trips.

Have two destination chargers at Work. Last week had to forgo those for a level 2 charger as one charger had another Model S and the other had a Toyota Prius attached to it. Next day one destination charger was free, but the other had the same prius attached. No outward indication of any...

Boatguy, just managing my expectations with a sort of linked question to the OP. Do any of you have experience of the Infotainment system coping with bluetooth connection to an iPhone (calls) and iPad (music) concurrently? This works well in my current Volvo XC60, but I have an expectation of...

As a current Air Traffic Controller, looking forward to the retirement date, but my Model S 85 (still to be delivered) will need to do the commute for a few years. I would suggest you take a test drive first, but agree once done you will not be holding back on the trigger.

When my Model S eventually turns up (waiting impatiently!) the lack of this functionality will be a major ball ache, given that my current ICE is a Volvo, and I have gotten accustomed to the lights just being on. As the latest firmware allows creep setting to be stored on driver profile, surely...

Look out, slightly grumpy customer. Have noticed that my request for June 2016 delivery has been "delayed" by Tesla to late June to July 2016. How does that work, if customers can order a car now for February delivery?

Parax, Thanks and have put my own order into the stats.

The 9 months was my request, so as not to be paying for two cars at once, and if you go to the TESLA website and do the process of ordering a car, but without committing to buy at the end, it offers a selection of dates available. In September the last available was June (Lucky me!) Re your...

I ordered an S85 in late September, with a requested delivery date of June 2016, due to being tied to a lease. Am a bit dubious that the £5000 grant will still be applied to this, as I am sure if the government did not extend the grant, they would say car must be registered before end of x...

ohcomeon, Having just looked over the finance bill making it's way through the Houses of Parliament at the moment, you are correct. It states that any car registered on or after 1st April 2017 that has a CO2 emissions value of 0g/km and a price that exceeds £40,000 will attract a VED bill of £310.

Brunel, thanks for the info. I had missed the Chancellor's changes and further research indeed show that a Tesla Model S being over £40000 will attract an additional £310 per year Vehicle Excise Duty. Some good news though for me is this comes in for vehicles registered after 1/4/2017 so I...

Does anyone know if the Chademo adaptors tend to be stock items in UK, or is there a waiting list?

Having (stupidly or otherwise - not sure) test drove an S85 I was bitten by the Tesla bug straight away. I decided to put my deposit down and order an S85 in Titanium, with Autopilot (of course) & pano roof. Now here is the kicker. My current XC60 is on lease until July and I drive 150 miles...

I don't think Audi's system is low speed specific. This video notes it starts working at 65 kph. Audi active lane assist - YouTube

As a UK based person who has just ordered an S85, I feel Elon should see how Audi's active lane assist is approved, and follow that lead. Not an Audi driver but my colleague is who regularly drives long distance on French motorways without the inconvenience of using the steering wheel!
