May Newsletter

I hope you are all enjoyed the late bank holiday weekend and had the opportunity to enjoy your Tesla. This newsletter highlights our busy June schedule for members and the wider Tesla community. Time is running out to book your Tesla Owners UK National Event of the year ticket at Supercharged for Saturday 27th June. We are at the unique Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire this year, and it is not to be missed!

We also have great news of our first ever club presence at the British Motor Show in August, and Everything Electric in Cheltenham later this month.

And our partnership with market research company Kantar continues for the second phase so if you have taken delivery of a new car between January and April 2026, do have a look below for a great incentive to take part in this new survey.

There has been a lot of changes in recent weeks with FSD (Full Self Driving) and in particular no longer being able to be purchased with new cars and replaced with a subscription model - despite FSD Supervised not yet available in the UK as it is in Netherlands and Lithuania. We have asked Tesla to clarify a number of issues for our members, and we intend to update members with the very latest news in our next newsletter.

Best wishes, Warren Whyte, President Tesla Owners UK

Tesla Owners at the British Motor Show 2026

Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August 2026

Tesla Owners UK is delighted to have been invited to have a club stand at the British Motor Show at the Farnborough Airport Exhibition Centre (where we have previous taken part in Everything Electric shows).

We are now inviting TOUK members to register if they wish to display their car at the event for 1, 2 or the full 3 days, and our exhibitors will get a free pass (worth up to £80) for their car and driver to enjoy the show. And of course your display car will mean you are parked up in the middle of the action!

We are looking for owners who will be able to spend a couple of hours on the stand to talk about all things Tesla and electric driving. You can enjoy the rest of the show in between your volunteering spot.

This is the first time we will be taking part in this show so we hope to put on a great display and a chance to show off your car. Please register to display your car by click the link below.
