What changed, when it changed, and what it means if you are about to order. Short, dated entries — each one sourced, each one written the day the fact moved. No rumours, no “deal alerts”, no invented discounts.
43,547 battery-electric cars were registered in the UK in July, up around 50% year on year — and BYD, not Tesla, now leads the UK EV sales table for 2026 so far.
Neither the GBP 3,750 nor the GBP 1,500 band of the UK Electric Car Grant applies to a Tesla, and the reason has nothing to do with the price of the car.
Not a Tesla App and others report a European referral increase to 2,000 km of free Supercharging. UK-facing pages in August 2026 still describe 650 miles. Both numbers are real; they're just not the same number.
The current referral round was due to end 31 July 2026. Tesla has pushed it to 16 September, prize availability unchanged — the framework from March 2026 stays in place.
480,126 deliveries, its best-ever Q2, against a 1.4% operating margin and negative free cash flow. Strong volume, thin margin — here's what that combination actually tells a UK buyer.
In the US, the Model 3 Standard starts at $38,630 — $5,500 under the rest of the range — but Tesla got there partly by removing features, including Autosteer.
The saving isn't just whether you use a referral link — it's when. Credits expire a year after they're granted, and referrers can only bank 10 successful referrals a year.
Tesla's own numbers put the UK network at 2,747 chargers, and Tesla says more than half are now shared with other EVs. The exclusivity story is over — here's what's left.
Dated pieces that were filed before this desk existed. They stay where they were published — nothing has been moved or renamed.
