I seem to remember that a lot of people said that when you got the car you wouldn't be able to supercharge, including me, but you reckoned that it wouldn't be blocked. You make an interesting point though about other manufacturers' cars after salvage repair though I'd imagine Tesla have the ability to link into the Insurer Database, and given that each car has an identity which is able to be read when you plug it in to the charge station, it wouldn't take an awful lot of computer power to maintain a list of unapproved/blocked vehicles.

Great video on the Tesla. Main dealers charge such an extreme hourly labour rate. The money doesn’t go to the staff. I worked out VW charge £1000 Labour for 2 hours to replace pads and rotors. The rub is they normally use the apprenticeship staff who are on £6 an hour.

[@vamboroolz1612]

@Big Red the £89 per hour rate will be against their book timings for each job. I had an issue a few years back where I needed a key fob coded to a transit van. Ford wanted to charge an hour and a half labour for this. I went home and found out that it has be completed in under 10 seconds or you have to start again. Needless to say that after going back to the main dealer and ranting at them, I did it myself. Book timings for jobs are a major rip off.

When you say oil do you mean diesel? Round here diesel is 30p a litre more than petrol, diesel makes absolutely no sense any more. I can forecast petrol at £1.50 a litre and diesel at over £2.00 a litre very soon.

I can agree with your assessment for your personal use case. It's not worth it to you.

As far as the Tesla test and denials go.....well I think we should know whether or not it will pass before we go in. Is the underside of the car free from damage, specifically the battery casing? Does the car charge to 100% from the wall or 3rd party chargers? In ideal setups does your indicated range hold close to the rated range of the car? If so it'll pass.

All main dealers charge about the same rate, even Korean manufacturers. Tesla do have the right to "update" your car and restrict options that are fitted. Always read the paperwork when you buy any car as Peugeot, Cupra, Skoda, BMW etc. can update your car over the secure link YOU agree to. Have you got live traffic updates on your dab radio which you pay an annual charge for ? I declined Peugeot live data as I use my phone and £70 plus a year isn't worth it.

Tesla is the Apple of Electric cars. Do everything possible to keep the prices as high as possible and squeeze every penny out of the consumer.
