It was indeed £190, and they did rotate the tyres. They also left a couple of dirty marks on my pristine white upholstery, which I’ve removed :( This won’t of course affect those of you with black pleather ;)

That’s about the going rate where I live. You’re bound to do it again. And again… I paid for my first repair, then took out three years of alloy insurance afterwards. I think I’ve had a further six repairs in the last two years, so I’ve definitely had my money’s worth. Have you ever kerbed...

On the way…

What a difference a day makes! We’re in Skye at the moment. This was the view out of the window of our holiday cottage yesterday: And this is today. Somebody has pinched the loch!

I always say Midnight Silver Metallic. The wife always says “There’s a grey one” ;)

Photos as promised. Quite pleased for thirty bob. :cool:

I’ve had GB side stickers on my stick-on plates for a good while, but with the new U.K. sticker rules, and the green EV plates change, I’ve bought these new stickers. I’ve not applied them yet, but once I do I’ll post a photo. UK Green EV / Electric - Car Number Plate Sticker UNION JACK NO EU...

Interesting. The invoice calls the item “2 year service at customer request”. The chap who took the loan car key back said ”There are no service intervals, but we recommend you bring it in every two years or every 20k miles, whichever comes first.” I think that’s the first time I’ve heard 20k...

That’s a very good question. I obviously didn’t select “Other” then. I do remember writing in the comments that I wanted a two-year service. I imagine I just followed my nose and happened to get the right outcome!

Sorry to hear you’ve had enough. I feel your pain. I've been lucky - now two years old and no major problems. I too had paint defects on delivery but they were rectified to my satisfaction. At my age I temper my expectations. While Tesla can be crap, I still think they are way ahead of other...

That’s fine as long as you keep your hands on the wheel…

Perhaps check with your lease company to be safe. There is no mandatory service schedule for Tesla cars, but they ”recommend” that they are inspected every two years. It also means the car gets any other precautionary mods done, like the wiring harness, if they haven’t been done previously.

Yes, and yes. The app and communication side of things was all perfect. Must be a first for Tesla.

I’d not noticed any problems, and didn’t mention it. I presumed it was an automatic service item a bit like the waterproofing of the frunk wiring harness. I’d not heard of the problem, too many threads to keep up with!

I suspect it is worth it, although it is something they do routinely in the States. Many tyre shops there offer free rotation once you’ve bought the tyres. As for the 4WD, I suspect it depends on your driving style. About a month ago I had the two rears replaced because they were ready, but the...
