    Regular maintenance

    I also had seized retaining pins after not following the recommended 2 year lubrication schedule. £120 later to fix it... Also didn't rotate tyres, replaced just the rears and then that threw the traction control system as there was a large differential between the tread on the front and rears...

    Interesting thanks, so a new M3P might not get any referral points anyway as the scheme ends Apr 30

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    Do the referral points land in your account once the order is placed, or when you take delivery? If they land when order is placed - you can delay delivery if they land when you take delivery - the referral scheme will have changed by then as earliest delivery is May/Jun

    Tesla Approved-Used vs. Parkers, CAP etc. price chasm

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    It's a painful rate, for sure. But with base rate over 5%, it's not going to be cheap unless they look to discount it or absorb some of that finance cost as they are doing for the MY. I wonder with sluggish sales, once we get through launch phase, if they might roll out the deals. prob worth...

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    Bizarre comment. Not a fanboy here but may well order one. I doubt they are adjusting the HP between countries, how would that translate into the same acceleration times? The motors from EU certification are front 158 kw and rear 303 kw - this translates to 618bhp but is not reported as such...

    MY LR Breakdown in France. 18 months old.

    Take car abroad and just assume Tesla will sort it all out in the case of any problem? I do think that's an unreasonable assumption, but of course everyone will have a different opinion. Personally I took 5 mins to check the Tesla policy and purchased Euro Breakdown cover myself, but each to...

    Best place to buy a used model 3 LR

    Eco Cars (eco-cars.net) will bid on auctions on your behalf - you tell them what you want. Some like Aston Barclay, allow private buyers to register. So, auctions are accessible, all well and good

    Charging in Kent?

    Osprey chargers in Whitfield, pub car park, are good and reasonably fast 75kw. Off-peak and/or windy weather discount via Electroverse. Cheaper than the MFG's too. Discovery Park in Sandwich has Fastned, 20 min drive from Dover.

    Octopus calculation is not so much based as to what you can buy it and sell it back for. But what they can buy it from you for (15p), and sell it on for, during that period. As long as there's a profitable margin, it'll stay

    Salary sacrifice prices

    I'm always left wondering …. it almost doesn't matter how expensive it is, there is a strange allure of salary sacrifice, no matter what the cost for some. I recall doing a calculation for a colleague on an Audi - it actually worked out *cheaper* to lease the car personally post-tax and take...

    Odd supercharger routing and -10% arrival on recent trip.

    It's a frequent complaint on here that tesla routing charges "too long" at superchargers and people find they arrive at their destinations with excess SoC (which presumably most don't want as they have destination charging available). Important presumably because of the difference between...

    Odd supercharger routing and -10% arrival on recent trip.

    The nav planning goes to superchargers en-route for quick as possible top-ups, to get you to your destination with 10%. There are threads on the forum criticising the nav for when it gets to destinations at higher %, as people may not want the added charging fees of arriving to their...

    How Does Tesla Operate?

    BREAKING: new cars depreciate..... AA: The average new car will have a residual value of around 40% of its new price after three years (assuming 10,000 miles/year) or in other words will have lost around 60% of its value at an average of 20% per year.
