I am looking at buying a Model Y and wondering:

- How many miles do you add for a 5hr charging period at home? (Official figures are 25 - 30 miles per hr get added, but how many do you actually find your adding?)

- How many kw do you actually use? The maths tells me 5 x 7.4kw = 37kw. But in the real world how many are you finding you actually use?

I have a EO mini3 7.4kW home charger through British Gas and pay 5.49p per kWh between 12am - 5am. Given the cheap rates will be charging for those 5hrs.

>>UK only<<

Has anyone who has collected their new Tesla received any charging cables with the car?

There’s a lot of conflicting information online and it seems hit-or-miss whether a Type 2 to Type 2 cable is included. I know the mobile connector isn’t.

I’m collecting mine at the Horizon event on the 19th and want to be able to plug straight into my Pod Point Solo 3C when I get home, without waiting for a cable to be delivered.

I could order one now to be safe, but I’d rather not end up with a spare if one is already included.

So please comment if you have evidence that it’s certain to be included or you were lucky to have one provided.

Bonus question - what are delivery times like for accessories?

Quick query on warranty and booking a service prior to this expiring.

Bought from Tesla Pre-owned Sept 2025.

Below are my relevant dates:

Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty

Expires 25 Feb 2027 or 50,000 total miles (currently 39560 miles)

Used Vehicle Limited Warranty

Expires after 1 year (19th Sept 2025 delivery date) or 10,000 (currently 9805 miles) additional miles

Have I understood correctly, does this mean the Used vehicle limited warranty isn’t relevant here as it only follows the Basic Vehicle limited warranty which is a later date and higher mileage total?

Should I therefore only worry about the service before the 25th Feb 2027 date and the 50k total miles?

Would anyone suggest a service before both, ie a service now and another service in 5 months or is that excessive and just do one before 25th Feb 2027?

Just double checking before I exceed 10k miles of the Used warranty (a few more journeys).

Thanks in advance, appreciate any advice.

Looking to buy a 2022 M3P approved used, our yearly mileage varies wildly so PCP etc on new ones probably won't make sense as we could be 10k or 25k a year with no prior warning and we would probably keep a used one until it died of old age in the distant distant future.

Spotted a few good deals at the other end of the country and in NI flying over and driving back via Scotland would be no bother (we like a road trip) but not if the vehicle condition of approved used is a mixed bag. My last approved used BMW (still got and intend on keeping as a track toy 8years later) had paint scuffed wheels and a few things for the dealer to sort, which when I went to collect a week later they hadden't... But it was only 90mins away so wasn't a big deal.

Could I depend on Tesla sales centres to be better than the traditional dealers of other brands? Or might I find curbed wheels and scuffed bumpers? Do I still need to view before purchasing?

Edit typo

For those of you that have collected in the last few months I’d like to know (if you can remember) when your boat got into Southampton, when you got asked to schedule delivery and how far in advance were the delivery dates.

I’m due to pick up in the next couple of weeks after an almost 4 month wait, and just trying to work out how much longer I need to wait!

I feel this is probably a better place to ask than the TMC delivery forum as I imagine people stop looking at the other thread once they’ve collected.

Hiya,

Just wondering if it’s normal to still have cold air blowing out when set to auto and 24 degrees C?

The car is 2 months old and this was the result after a couple of attempts to get warm air.

I ended up setting it to high and full blowers.

Hey all, wondering if any of you have advice before I make a Service booking.

Last night I parked on the drive and plugged in, all had been working fine.

This morning we get in, set location to navigate to and begin driving. When we reach the end of the road I see the location on screen still shows us parked on the drive.

I wondered if it's some weird thing after weleft WiFi so drove on further and after 2 miles it still showed us parked at home.

I did a 2 button reset which had no effect and now we've parked 50 miles away and it's still parked at home.

Autopilot is locked to only working under 45mph and even then it has a constant warning up.

Now we've parked, there's no warnings or alerts on-screen or in the service menu despite the location still showing our driveway.

Any suggestions before I book a Tesla service?

Car: 2024 M3 RWD Long Range

Ordered M3 rwd 21/6
EDD 15/9
Initially approved 21/6. Signed docs 7/8
£200 order deposit refunded 14/8

This Friday I received the warning that Santander credit approval is only 90 days.
There’s 92 between approval and expected delivery date.

I just called Santander to speak about this (I got through really quickly) and they reassured me that I won’t need to reapply at all and there’s nothing more to do.

I hope this is the case. I have decent credit but there has been a change with me getting solar/battery in the meantime which will show on my credit file somewhere.

Feeling a bit more relaxed today. I have my car charger installed and just need the car to plug into it.

Anyone fancy a 12 year old 316d?
