I wondered if anyone has seen a difference in the willingness of service centres to offer advice on maintenance/self repair of issues. My local service centre in Bournemouth has been brilliant but visited a different centre today and the salesman was messaging the service manager on Teams, who...

Currently have about 96k miles in my Model 3. Recently I have noticed the seat has become very uncomfortable, and can feel it pushing on lower hip/joints, especially on longer drives. I am only 26 so its not a matter of ages. Has anyone replaced the seat foam? I’ve seen a few people say they...

So I often charge at the minimum current of 5A with a line voltage of 240V, leading to a 1.2kW charging speed. My charger can output at 32A but wondering whether I am losing much in efficiency by charging at a lower current as the onboard AC/DC converter will inherently have losses. If...

I have driven roughly 21000 miles since I bought my M3 LR used. The tyres started off with around 5.5mm of tyre wear and now, just before I get an MOT, they are only at ~3.5mm. Maybe I was lied too when I was told EVs chew through tyres. Don't get me wrong, almost any traffic light I am...

Long story short, I have a relatively high mileage Model 3 that is covered by a 3rd party warranty with Marshalls (administered by Car Care Plan). My front upper control arm ball join on the near side has just started to squeak, and so I went to the warranty company to get them to agree the...

I have been experiencing creaking coming from the rear seats of my Model 3 (21 model year) since I bought it used a year ago. It appears normally as a leather-on-leather rubbing sound coming from the offside rear corner, but then when the body is flexed going up a hill and taking a corner it...

I am thinking about adding the PWS (Pedestrian Warning System) to my 2021 Model 3 which already has the harness. Instead of paying Tesla £180 I am looking to install the speaker myself and get Tesla to send out the software update to enable the speaker. Does anyone know of the difference...

So I have been having a squeaking sounds on the electric strut for the trunk and realised the corrugated slide on the strut is rubbing on the rear window seal (pictures below). Has anyone else had this issue? Wondering what the fix would be as my boot is perfectly aligned so don't want to be...

I have a service quotation from Tesla that needs to be paid by a warranty provider. I can see in the payment options for the service it has my bank card and "Pay with Online Banking" as an option. Does anyone know what the "Pay with Online Banking" option is? Does it provide a bank account...

Ever since I bought my Tesla (used, out of warranty) I have had a whistling sound about 40 miles an hour. It seems to fade when the wipers are activated. I asked a Tesla technician at a service centre today who stated that there are markers on the windscreen to indicate where the wipers should...

So first time not charging on a fast charger and wondering whether the kWh added shown in the app is correct? I understand the car will use shore power to heat the battery but wondered if this is included in the power usage in the app, or if this is just power used to charge the battery...

So I tried using a Porsche dealer 350kW charger today after I spoke with the dealership and they told me that they aren't limited to Porsche vehicles. I was successfully able to start a charger on the stall and was drawing 120kW but then after 30 seconds the charger stopped and a general error...

I have the opportunity to purchase a 100,000 mile Model 3 2020 (70 plate) LR which is pre-refresh. I wondered what I should be concerned about, other than the fact there is only about 20,000 miles before the battery and motor warranty expires? Obviously concerns for a usual car with this...

So my situation is a bit of an odd one. With my current job I will be out of the country for 4 months at a time and home for 3 months. With this in mind, I feel buying a Model 3 is not in my best interest at this moment in time. I wondered if there are any short term lease companies that people...
