They are about £650 plus how ever much it costs for someone to fit it.
If you buy a car you can get a grant but you have to get a ‘smart charger’ (not a Tesla one) so it’s about £350 for a straight forward install.
There isn’t much servicing and there is to traditional schedule (no oil, plugs etc). It’s covered in Tesla’s site, I think anything they list is only a recommendation and doesn’t effect your warranty if you don’t do it.
You can diy air filters easily. Brake fluid is the same as a normal car. You can get an MOT anywhere and it’s much easier than an ICE as there is no emissions. Parts can be expensive but it’s a £40k car so that’s expected.

So basically nothing.

Tesla "charger" £460 then get quotes for fitting as it has a higher/costlier requirement for protection circuitry. Servicing on the Tesla website as mentioned they tend to recommend servicing schedules rather than have a fixed one.
Normal garage can work on the "normal" car parts though best to stick to Tesla service centres when under warranty. No OBD2 port as that's only required for emission testing so diags a bit more tricky to access.
Just an FYI but I received a minor software update. Phone alert woke me so I initiated it
2019.32.2.1
still sitting on 2019.15 since new. had it a week now - will give it another week then poke Tesla if i need to. today I snow foamed, wash/clay (marginal but part of the process) and have done a gloss machine polish on 80% of the car now. will finish and apply the ceramic coat tomorrow I hope. found a few dust nibs i have sanded and polished down and there is some sticky stuff left from transport on the lower front right door sill ill get off tomorrow as well. its looking good though.
have "gyeon-q2-syncro-kit" from Clean your car.
been using new polishing pads on Das 6 pro machine and all finished this morning. Then the wipe down with prep. done 2 coats of Mohs and left it for the day. probably about an houru per coat as it was my first time but went on really easy. will do the final layer of Skin tomorrow after work. its all looking rather fine now and buffed up nicely. will need to clean up the glass again and take pics. driving old car to work for a couple more days before selling to we buy.
then its the home rolec charger install on Thursday.

Updates are very sporadic and random. Just wait and you'll get it when you get it

- Recovery if you run out of charge to the nearest charging station (doesn't affect your excess)
- Electric car accessories including cables and home charger damage etc.
Things to try. Add another car my i3 on the same policy reduced the policy by about £25 for both cars! Add a named driver and if they are low risk it may help. Check your job title and see if anything similar but still correct has an affect. May only be £5-10 but everything helps.
Now the i3 has gone I'm considering a cheapy Peugeot 106 diesel to drive during the worst of winter. I had tons of fun in one before with only 48HP and skinny tyres.
i will found out this thursday , but i believe unlikely as he said built on 1st Sept. Mine would have already been in a ship

For those that have car - when did you get registration details?? LV won't insure without reg, they won't do a VIN number. Did you get a call with the details?

They will contact you the day before collection with the registration. I got a call at 15:30, my appointment was 13:00 the next day.
I had no contact after the initial confirmation of finance right up to the day before collection. Phone the sales number as they should be able to cross reference from your VIN.
