Hello Tesla owners,
I thought the idea of collecting individual tricks and advices about owning a Tesla in Switzerland.
I am starting in this process so I cannot contribute much but I may share what I know so far:
I am renting a garage in Basel and they already have a charging setup where I will pay around 40 CHF a month for renting that infracstructure and seems I will pay electricity at 0.23kWh. This still needs to be clarified.
Insurance: I am collecting offers from different agencies so I will share afterwards.
Open questions for me:
is there any preffered charging station rather than Tesla ones? which one is the cheapest most efficient? Maybe worth differentiating speed charging / normal charging?
which winter tyres and rims did you purchase? tesla official is 2250 chf, way to much, any advice or recommendation specially for the rims?
Battery maintanance advices? I heard itâs ideal to not go below 20% and not above 80%.
no, not for me at least. If you can charge at home / your garage, charging stations only matters on longer road trips (>400km). And If you are on such trips, you are going to use the tesla navigation with suggested charging stations along the route (with infos on stall usage, auto precondition your car battery, âŠ) no way Iâd go anything else to save a few CHFâŠ
Once you do some research, you are going to find the tesla price is not that bad. Itâs even cheap for a MY (other, more expensive dimensions). For M3:
A set of âbrand tiresâ: ~600CHF
A set of cheap rims (no steal rims available!): ~800 CHF (I bought mine from here:RWD & AWD - eMoba)
A set of TPM sensors: ~360 CHF
To have everything mounted: ~200 CHF
As I donât like the stock rims very much, I swapped tires and now use the stock rims with the winter tires and bought some nicer rims that I use with the stock summer tiresâŠ
Depends on what battery technology. Performance / long range models: Yes (NMC batteries). Standard range: No (LFP batteries).
NMC batteries like it the most around 50%. For daily usage I keep mine between 30-70% (~200Km of range).
An intelligent / decent wall box (I like my go-e charger) + PV
I like my rubber floor mats (kids, lot of nature and dirt, âŠ) Edit (I completely forgot)
Itâs true if thatâs important for you. In my case I would like to have quick access to the data for some time to understand the car and then I think i will be not looking at it that much because I would know what to expect. In this case my assesment is that Tessie is a good enough, simple solution for me at 5$ a month (probably I will be using it during the winter only).
Regarding the wallbox to recharge your car at home, which one did you choose for your electric car?
Iâm about to own a Tesla, and before installing a wallbox in our soon to be built home I also want to see long term as Iâm not sure I will still have a Tesla in the future. Did you choose the Tesla wall connector or another model, and if so, why?
It seems in some Kantons you may be eligible to subsidy when installing a wallbox, but Tesla doesnât mention anything on its website.
Iâm using a go-e wallbox. Mainly because their boxes expose a open API and one can integrate them in a smart-home environment quite easily. And they are not that expensive as wellâŠ
