What do we want? More Tesla service centres! When do we want them? Well as soon as possible but without over stretching budgets, putting more stress on other service centres and without creating a network of 3rd party service centres run by complete idiots!

A month and a half wait for a Tesla service is both a good sign and a bad sign, they can’t keep up with the demand and supposedly even warranty jobs are being pushed back to similar timeframes (I take that last point with a pinch of salt as my warranty issues have always been…

The ‘Must Have’ DJI Osmo Accessories

July 11, 2016 0 Comment Video

Pro Camera Mount for cars/windows This Delkin Camera mount is extremely solid, can hold a full DSLR so the Osmo is childs play. I’ve combined the Osmo with Extension Rod in the past to have the Osmo less than 1FT from the floor whilst travelling at 50mph+ Osmo now sell an own branded alternative but it…

Took the Tesla up to Santa Pod Raceway for a RWYB day, here is the data from the fastest run of the day (only got 2 runs as it was stupidly busy). Battery at around 90-95% SOC, Max Battery, Ludicrous, head wind and slightly damp track. Data via TeslaLog. I’ve seen other facelift models pull…

Having two electric cars

July 5, 2016 0 Comment Tesla

Unfortunately, the above photo is a bit of a lie, I technically owned two Tesla Model S cars at one point but only for around 30 seconds as I signed over the ownership of my original P85D back to Tesla when I upgraded to a P90DL. In reality, our second EV is a Nissan Leaf…

Why the Tesla accident had nothing to do with the safety features of the Model S

June 30, 2016 13 Comments Tesla

In the next few days you will read about a death in a Tesla car that had Autopilot enabled. Of course, it’s a tragic incident but from what I’ve read, it seems to have been the lack of safety features in the trailer, primarily the lack of safety rails/under-run guards/side guards that caused the death…

Are Tesla’s All-Weather Mats worth the price? (£340 price tag)

June 30, 2016 0 Comment Tesla

At £170 per set, these are the most expensive pieces of plastic I own but they serve a purpose and seem like pretty high-quality plastic. Trunk set If you’ve got a dog in the boot or have a tendency to do trips in your Model S to the dump/tip etc then the Trunk set I…

To remove letters on a Tesla or not? AKA Badge Deletion

June 30, 2016 0 Comment Tesla

We’ve all heard of people adding P and D letters to their Tesla cars, I don’t have a problem with this, heck I did the exact same thing on my first ever car, It was a 1.2L Polo GTI 😉 Anyway, at the other end of the range there are now many Tesla owners removing…

Tesla Model S Liquid Elements 6 layers of ceramic paint protection completed

June 30, 2016 4 Comments Tesla

Just collected The Beast from having it’s 6 layers of ceramic paint protection completed, it is guaranteed for up to 6 years but we will have to see how long it actually lasts, my estimate is 3-4 years. My detailer refuses to use Gtechniq as Liquid Elements is a superior product which is interesting, it…

My Model X Walkaround

I went to pick up my new Model S (pictured above to the left of the X) and noticed a rather large beast in the window, so I thought I’d take a quick look and film it:

Things to check when you pick up your Tesla

June 28, 2016 8 Comments Tesla

I will just start by saying I love my Tesla Model S but it is important to us all (as both owners, shareholders, staff & potential customers) that all the cars are in perfect condition on collection. I’ve experienced perfect customer service on both of my cars when I’ve had problems and they have always…
