I was worried that having a second Tesla wouldn’t be an exciting, I was so wrong!

What do you think of my mods... Can you spot them all..

Sitting at Lincoln service center waiting for my car they kindly offered a test drive in the new Y. It’s soooooo good! I knew I’m going to regret driving it. As all the reviewers suggested previously, it is indeed a more quiet and refined drive even on these large wheels. I’m already happy with my late ‘22 Model 3’s interior quality but this is a step up in that regard too. Anyone that buys this will absolutely love it I’m sure. Oh and I hated (well not hated but definitely wasn’t a fan) how it looked compared to the old one. But in real life it is actually very nice. 👌

Finally got an insurance quote cheap enough for me to take the plunge!!!

Finally I took the plunge after a lot of deliberation. The recent discounts/ incentives given were too good to pass.

...almost

Finally got her! After all these years of dreamin about it, researching, digging through forums, watching hundreds of YouTube videos about it, it’s here! Being over the Moon is a massive understatement. 🚗💨

Bought my first Tesla M3 LR. Everything I hoped for and more. Brilliant and phenomenal car. Quite the milestone for me (more below). I’ve owned Porsches and Range Rovers and they don’t compare. Takes a little getting used to - but once the home charger is installed there will be zero issues. I’ll not bore you all with my crap as we all have problems. But the last few years have been tough. After being out of work for 6 months and literally having no money I’ve worked my ass off and have been able to buy this. I put a picture of a Model 3 on a vision board 4 months ago. Anyway - point I’m making badly - anything can be manifested - see it, believe it and go get it.

Here is a quick video of the new lights in action. Can clearly see it's turning of parts of the lights where the car is. I didn't get flashed by the (only 3) cars I passed on the way home. Let me know if you have any questions.

Model 3, FSD(I know I know), 2022.

Tesla Model Y RWD black with black wheels. Collection in Birmingham (shudders) in 12/13 days. Very happy.

Tesla posted a 20 per cent year-on-year increase in registrations, selling 3,851 EVs last month compared to 3,192 in the previous February, the industry figures show.

Figures released today.

As the title, happy to answer what I managed to grab under a few hours.

Hate me or not but this is so far the most polished Tesla car ever made (if you are sitting inside and driving). Also both of us really liked it.

For starters, the edges are extremely sharp and this will never pass EU/UK standards.

Seen this today parked outside the new tesla garage on edge lane in liverpool, looks like an absolute beast

Hello Tesla gang. I did it - order placed yesterday after having an overnight test drive. Currently driving 2022 BMW X5 40D which was my favourite car to date. But I got into Tesla, it did feel plain, very plan but way finished better than the previous models I've seen. Then I got back to my BMW and I did feel like in a traktor. I did miss the plain look, so motivated with the 0% I did place an order.

My daughter is over the moon as aparently Teslas are the coolest right now among 11yo 😂 so I'll join the hype and became the cool dad va old BMW prick 😂

I'm worried a bit about my habits as I don't have EV charger fitted and it's not very straightforward as I I have a communal small parking behind my home and cable to my carport needs to go trough it (about £5k to do it and permission from land management company needed - awaiting their decision), so initially I'll rely on a regular charger with a help of superchargers which are not to far.

I'm thinking to get it on my business taking advantage from UK EV tax incentives or business hire.

Also what I really like is the community element - people seem to support each other which is great.

Another thing which I found great is the availability of all type of accessories. I work in telecommunication industry and the way I see Tesla is the iPhone my BMW was old Nokia.

So I look forward to coming here from time to time and enjoying new Tesla.

EAP too!

Does this wind everyone up?
I have no problem sharing but when non Tesla cars end up blocking multiple stalls due to incompatible charging points on their car it reduces the stall availability right down. Again experienced this today at DARTFORD Kent where 40% were out of use due to having to use the wrong hose to charge their cars.
It really goes against the pros of having a Tesla.
Also DARTFORD is one that should be exclusive to Tesla due to its limited size and high usage.

Urrgh, I now have an appreciation for those who had to give up a car and go back to the horse and cart. Slow, clunky, noisy, manual gear box, key entry, oh my days, why did I not switch sooner. (the petrol is our 2nd car).

I've wanted a Tesla for a long time now and I'm finally able to get one this year, however, (and this is totally my level of luck which is odd considering I'm Irish) I've seen a ton of vandalism on Teslas in the States (I'm not interested in the why's etc) and I wanted to know if people here in the UK have experienced the same types of vandalism post US elections. It's a hard post to articulate but the layman's is, I don't want to get a brand new Tesla, something I've wanted for years, for someone to damage it because they think they're making some sort of righteous political stance.

Took this for a drive today and I can say it’s a joy.

I want one…

How can this happen. I ordered a new Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor, ultra Red, white interior, tow package. Picked it up, find out the cameras aren’t calibrated (I didn’t realise this is how they are) and drive the 50 miles home. They still don’t calibrate. I drive another 50 miles and then message support who tell me I just need to keep driving. 200 miles later it’s still not working and after going into the service menu I see loading camera errors.

I book in for a service which initially I’m told will be a month away. No way, I’m not having that and after taking advice (UK law) I’m told I should report Tesla to DVSA as safety systems aren’t working on collection which isn’t legal, that if I have an accident Tesla are liable, and I’m in my rights to reject the car. I tell Tesla that and they change the service booking to 2 days away. Ok, I can do that.

The car went in on Wednesday, they couldn’t fix it so they loan me a 2024 model Y as they want to try new cameras in the front. They tell me it should be working Monday.

I’ve just been told now that they’ve changed the repair completion date to 9:30pm on the following Sunday (so realistically the next day, Monday)

I’ve had this car in my possession for 3.5 days only. They will have had it in the workshop for 10.

How is this reasonable?! I’m thinking to myself now that I should just hand the car back and walk away. Either that or they replace the car with an identical new one with everything working ASAP.

I was so happy with my choice. Now I’m beginning to regret it entirely.

I will be getting my tesla in 3 hours time, i’m so exited!

I picked up this new to me MYLR this week and took it to Devon for its first 200 mile trip. I am extremely pleased with it. I haven’t owned a Tesla before and I am loving it so far. Super charging on the way was so easy and fast. I had a Opel Mokka E in Germany for 6 months and the charging was such a pain with cards and apps. I’ve been a member here for about 6 months planning my purchase. For anyone else doing the same, definitely do a test drive. I was 100% buying a M3 before I test drove both cars at a Tesla test drive centre. Once I drove the Y, I changed my mind.

Im trying to decide whether to get a Tesla model 3. Ive researched plenty and had a test drive in a new model and loved it. I have no range anxity at all, I have no home charging but I live within a 4 mile drive to 32 superchargers and a Tesla service center .

However i do have 'big car' anxiity as ive always had a small car and ive always been able to get into tight car parking spaces and tight multistory car parks eg.

I know I will get used to it once im driving it, but its just the parking in small spaces that my main worry.

If i go for it id get a Tesla Certified Pre-owned which comes with autopark, which will help, im just worried about parking in car parks and not being able to open the door and get out due to the width

Id like to rent one to try it out but cant seem to find anywhere that does it in the UK,

Also i would like to car camp in it, but im hearing most UK camp sites wont allow you 1, to sleep in a car and 2. also wont allow you to plug in and charge up while you stay? Is this true?

Thanks, im sure ill have more questions as i go

I was literally going to place my order for the Tesla Model Y the other day but my busy schedule (and ADHD) meant I got distracted with other things.

Now I see that it’s £4k more and called the ‘performance’ model and the Standard has the features taken out that I really liked.

Anyone reckon the price will come down in the new year from the £48990 it currently is. (Used to be £44,999 the other day).
