    Mechanical Faults and fixes

    Recently took out the frunk bin and noticed rust on what appears to be part of the steering assembly. Note this is a RHD M3 with 62500 km and just out of warranty. Can anyone tell me what these parts are called so I can get appropriate service?

    (2023) Tesla Model Y - Transferring from Australia to UK/Ireland

    Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has had to do this and what to look out for? I am assuming because the car in Aus and UK/Ireland is right hand drive it would not be an issue, i believe the charging should not be an issue but unsure. Any thoughts? Matt

    Sunny Sun Sun - My first Tesla road trip from UK to Spain

    Did such stupidity (read: driving for at least 4 days for holiday) back in 2016. Had someone to change driver seats with me but did not like it that much... Now car changed, I was a single driver but though - welp, let's try again. Warning - Long read, almost biblical. TLDR: No regrets. Super...

    UK - 90D 2016 Extras + Tesla Warranty

    UK only. Working from home permanently means we don't need 2 electric cars. Unfortunately the wife wins and we are keeping her car, so the model S is up for sale. The car is still within warranty and includes 5 remaining months of Tesla used warranty for peace of mind. Lots of extras...

    Best insurance provider for limited company leased

    I was surprised to find out that Churchill doesn’t provide insurance if you’ve leased (or bought) your car via your limited company. Any suggestions on the best insurance providers for Teslas that are leased via limited company ? Also what’s the right way to register the car - on your name or...

    UK - Wanting to test drive ‘comfort suspension’.

    After a depressing look at other manufacturer’s hybrid and BEV offerings I found myself (somewhat unexpectedly) in a Tesla showroom interested in a MYLR. No MYLR was available so I test drove a MYRWD - which was ‘interesting‘ - but ultimately I had to walk away because of the vision-blurring...

    Model 3 price change

    So, I decided to check into my account to see if there was any movement. Nope still says December 2022. So I decided to see what the EST day would be if I ordered today. This is where I noticed for the same car, wheels, colour it's £100 cheaper than what I'm paying. Is this correct? Should I...

    Just Got Bitten By Tesla Supercharger Routing, Be Careful

    Visited London from the North today. On the way back, the Tesla navigation tried to take me Newport Bagnell superchargers (which I now know are southbound only). I couldn't get through the southbound barrier but saw the northbound barrier was up so I drove through that. Will probably get hit...

    Tesla Scheduled Charging Overridden

    I think my Model 3 is getting confused as to when to charge. I’ve had a read of similar threads but can’t see my problem. Which is…I can’t seem to deselect departure time. And when I choose scheduled charging it seems to default to departure time charging. My electricity is at its cheapest...

    My experience with UK charging networks

    So, I just got back from a trip in England where I rented a Model 3 for 2 weeks. I now fully understand why the (US) Tesla Supercharger network is winning. A lot of my experience was with the Pod Point system, but I expect most of the problems I had were not specific to that brand. 1. The CCS...

    What is this pullable thing I found in the Model 3 boot?

    Was checking out the boot and noticed this pullable lever in the left side of the boot. Checked the manual /forums and there's no references to this object.

    Issues with Tesla Finance

    I'm trying to submit the finance application for Model 3 order, but every time it just says "error submitting application". I chatted to somebody from the local dealership (Manchester Trafford Centre) via text message and a phone call, they said the system probably doesn't like my address. Best...

    UK MX Number plate

    Can people in the UK share what they went with for nice plates on their X? Not much out there about it, seems it’s mainly 3/Y owners with vinyl stick on plates and not much about S/X. I have ordered some vinyl ones but I’m starting to question my decision.

    119 Miles And Paint Chipped Already

    With 2022 seeming to be a huge year for Tesla in the UK, I think a lot of people will be picking up paint chips in their first year... Me unfortunately being one of them. 119 miles on the odometer and somehow I've managed to pick up a paint chip on the rear bumper just below the lip where the...
