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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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:
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…
As part of the 19 cars that met for the Tesla UK South Mimms meetup we did a small trip together with everyone using autopilot. Here is just a small video of the line up (note: the full 19 cars couldn’t make it in a row together due to traffic and time constraints)
I’m not really sure if this is useful or not but I thought I’d give it a go – I think lots of people wouldn’t normally consider Milton Keynes being a place they would love to visit so here is my pitch on why you should give it a go (for Tesla owners). If you’re…
