Whichever way you enter/exit the peak district, you have a choice of probably hundreds along your route between there and home, even if some are in use or out of order:



I also suspect at some point in the not too distant future many more Tesla stations will be updated to serve non-Tesla drivers. There's no word yet on exactly how quickly the current pilot scheme (15 stations) will be expanded on, but I would guess we'll see significant expansion within the time you own the car.
I just moved closer to the Peak District hehe

Yeah thats a good point and really hope thats the case as the more I watch from other countries, it seems 170 miles is the range.
And btw, If anyones interested in a drag race with a Model 3, heres the first I've found: https://youtu.be/Yg8XG1HJuLE?t=338
Almost nothing in it though.
That's not a model 3 performance though - it's a long range. So a performance could be faster than the GT.

Looks like I will have an overlap between my GT arriving and my M3P departing.... Anyone got an airstrip?

My EV6 is arriving at the dealers on 5th of December. M3P goes back on the 18th. Anyone got access to an airfield?

I am planning on taking my GT to the PHSS at Thruxton if it arrives in time for that!

Who knows? Mine was built over 2 weeks ago but seemed to miss the boat!

I'm in.

For anyone who hasn't been there C&M is great fun and a real petrol head spot.

I'm not tempting fate by pestering my dealer so I hope I'll have the GT by then
Cool! I’m trying to get KIA involved with some freebies. Looks like we will have at least 3 GTs there!

Are you strict on EV6, or are all E-GMP's welcome? idea
We haven't got any sort of exclusive arrangement - come along!

Delivery date confirmed as September 23.......that's a while....ordered in October......issues with colour.....still prices have gone up now so have managed to maintain original price which is £100 a month cheaper than current. I'm guessing delivery could be earlier or later....
What colour did you order?

Website called vesselfinder.

It was due into Teesport on Monday afternoon but it’s just hanging around the same location. So it’s either waiting for a berth or there’s a problem with it!
