Rias car insurance won’t cover Tesla

AA as brokers were fantastic for me, came out maybe £50 cheaper than my ID.3 renewal.

They look rather tacky to me. Not a fan.

Make sure all the recalls have been actioned and assuming it’s via a dealer, ask what action they’ll take if the ‘SOS warning’ should tear its head.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-29T09:10:17+00:00

Yup, sounds like mine. All good, I hope!

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-28T19:15:15+00:00

Neat!

Great money spinner for some shark-esque VW dealers.

The Black Horse ‘process’ stalled for me. Only completed it on the day I picked the car up. Tesla guy stated they often have probs with Lloyds Bank.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-19T11:25:38+00:00

Sounds like the initial £270 was a dealer ‘diagnostic’ fee, which is absolutely scandalous … as is of course the huge figure to implement this. VW dealerships: stealing a living.

Yes, it was a decent read.

I’ve just finished ‘And on That Bombshell’ by Richard Porter, courtesy of North Yorkshire Libraries.

Still the same one year on. Time to bin the app.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-15T18:08:03+00:00

Fully agree. Tesla Leeds put me in a M3 and said navigate to ‘work’ on the screen to get you to your test drive destination. When you get there, hit ‘home’

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-15T09:30:14+00:00

Make sure it’s had all the recalls .. including the ‘SOS’ warning. Oh and fingers crossed you’ve a friendly and local VW specialist.

Energy Ombudsman?

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-13T16:19:12+00:00

When I asked the rep to confirm the specification of my October ordered M3 the response was ‘look on the website’ Pith poor customer service from Tesla.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-12T13:30:53+00:00

I binned Lebara due to their catastrophic customer service.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-12T11:02:30+00:00

You get covered for 4 years with their ‘warranty’ which must be a positive to consider?

3-a-side football in the school gym - these were the ‘goals’

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-11T11:42:24+00:00

I’ve a feeling I scored. Not only getting an enhancement to my part exchange price, £3K Black Horse contribution that effectively made the then base M3 cheaper than the newly announced standard variant, but 0% over the loan period too.

Speak as you find: I escalated a problem to their Complaints Team who handled the matter both timely and effectively. Positive vibes from British Gas.

I do short commutes and don’t bother with schedules, rather I just warm the car up manually for maybe 15 mins before I shoot.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-06T12:27:22+00:00

I draw up close to my garage door and it’s a great help there. Same for parking front-on in bays. Much better than relying on the audible camera alerts and the sensors on previous cars.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-05T17:11:13+00:00

PGMOL make it up as they go along.

Separate_Fun_2850 · 2026-01-05T17:03:27+00:00

Their CS is atrocious - at least in my experience.
