Thanks Saghost.... I wasn't aware of the Traffic Aware part of the name :-)

Excuse my ignorance hmmm, but what's TACC? So what's the best 'consumption' you can expect if driving sensibly? Thanks, Dom.

I just got my P90DL a couple of weeks back and am loving it for all the right reasons. I do sometimes need to do long journeys, so am trying to work out how best to set the car up to get maximum range from a full charge and would welcome the thoughts of more experienced owners. I can drive...

I'm based in the UK so have Spotify in my MS. I've only just got my car and have not used Spotify before, so I have 2 questions. 1) Is it possible to download albums that I search for on Spotify so they're stored locally in the car? 2) I seemed to be logged in to a Tesla Spotify account. If I...

Now that I've got my MS and my home charger installed, I've realised that we're currently on a variable tariff for our electricity (Tariff rate: 13.301p) and I suspect I could do a lot better than this given that I will now be charging a car up overnight! Can anyone recommend a good...

Has anyone else had any issues connecting their MS to BT wifi at home? I've tried at both our houses (both running the latest BT Home Hub) and the car simply won't connect! I can see the networks, but when I enter the wifi password it tries then fails to connect. Any magic tricks? Thanks, Dom.

Thanks for the advice everyone :-) Sounds like a CHAdeMO will be all I need as the SC network covers most of the places I go regularly. Dom.

I'm new to EV's and collect my P90D next week. I'm aware of the Ecotricity network and their newly introduced £6 charge for 30 mins, but what other non-Tesla charging alternatives are there and how extensive are the networks? Thanks, Dom.

I collect my P90D next week so am new to EV's. How much range would you get from 30 mins at an Ecotricity charger?

Thanks for the link WannabeOwner. Has anyone installed an EVolt with dynamic load response? It seems expensive, but I quite like the idea of a charger that has a built in safety feature like that.

Hi, Collecting my new P90D on Thursday next week (excited!) and am starting to think about charging at home. Excuse the newbie question, but what charger and supply do I need to have installed to get a decent charge rate at home? At the moment, my only option is a standard 13amp plug socket...

A quick update as I think it's a worthy one. The car I was so gutted to miss out on has come back to me after the prospective purchaser changed their mind as they wanted a different interior colour, so I'm getting it :-) Just need some advice now on how to remain calm and focused on other...

I will have a UK office in London that I'll get the train to from Wiltshire where I live, but most of my work life will be spent flying around Europe, so most journeys will be the 75 miles each way trip back and forth to Heathrow. I doubt I'll do more than 12k miles a year and only about 30-40%...

Thanks for the feedback everyone...very helpful to an EV newbie like me :)

I'm a huge fan on Man Maths ;) My problem is that my new employer doesn't offer a company car scheme, so it's down to me to sort out my own vehicle and claim XXp/mile for miles on company business. This is a potential benefit too though as there's zero fuel cost if I use Superchargers and...

Hi, I don't have my MS yet, but hope to be the proud owner for a P85D as soon as one comes along in the spec that I want. I have 2 questions that I hope you more experienced owners can help with: 1) Driven sensibly with appropriate settings, what's the realistic 'long' range on a fully...

Thanks Ryan...I found that last week...fantastically useful site! There are a few out there, but none that match the spec I want sadly :-(

After a couple of years of consulting and running my own business, I'm going back to a full time role and, having not started the job yet, I was debating whether I was making a big commitment too soon. Head versus heart issue...not one that the head usually stands a chance in :-)

Hi All, Just joined the forum but have been lurking for a couple of weeks learning from your experience of the Model S. I test drove a P85D about 2 weeks ago and was blown away! I've had some fast cars in my time, but this was just addictive :-) It just so happens that the demo that I drove...
