    V11 - what’s your verdict?

    How can I I undownload this thing and go back to the previous version? ( I know I can’t- I’m joking) i love this car and I really don’t understand why they have made it more complicated.

    V11 - what’s your verdict?

    @pdk42 yes I agree with most of your points listed especially the fan adjustment and the seat heater too. By trying to simplify it they have complicated it. It’s like however worked on this, doesn’t drive a Tesla or did it on purpose to sabotage it. At the very least, they should get voice...

Because lights where on auto.I then Turned auto lights off, then I was able to turn fog lights on. Seriously, someone needs...

    Insurance and FSD upgrade

    amazing advice, thanks

    Insurance and FSD upgrade

    I’m questioning the fact that they put it down as an engine modification, which is not. I want to make sure we are covered. This whole new tech is unchartered territory for the insurance companies who haven’t got much clue about this latest tech. Tesla insurance can’t get here fast enough!

    Insurance and FSD upgrade

    Hi everyone. We got our LR dual motor M3 last year with no FSD and we got it Insured with LV. We upgraded to FSD last month just before the price increase kicked in. We have just rung LV to let them know about the upgrade for insurance reasons so they put the FSD down as an engine...

    Rear camera issue

    Yes, It only happened for one day. Initially we thought it’s because it has been raining loads (uk) that maybe water went somehow inside and wrecked something up /caused some damp issue etc... but we doubt that now. It’s okay today too. So far so good.

    Rear camera issue

    Just as update, I drove the car in the morning and the problem is gone! I couldn’t be happier! Sounds like it’s a def a loose connection.

    Lane departure question

    How do I test whether the Lane departure assist works? I have it switched on and I tested on the road (a very quiet road and made sure it was safe and no one was around) and I tried to drift across to the on coming traffic lane without indicating and it didn’t give any warning sounds. Is...

    Powerwall question

    Hi everyone, we are considering a powerwall - UK. The question is there a minimum energy/wattage required from the solar panels input to be able to store solar energy into the powerwall? For example, EVs won’t charge if the output is below 1.5 kw Thanks in advance.

    The Tesla Spotted Thread

    Just spotted my first M3 in the wild in white on the A47. The driver’s face was beaming with joy. I’m guessing it was from the driving experience. But oh my ... his face ! Happy days! I’m not sure if he saw me, but I did a small honk. I must say, they do look nice on the road.

    Charger installation/ olev grant

    In short, We bought the charger straight from the manufacturer, but now our installer is saying we can’t get the Olev grant for us because the equipment should have been bought by the installer and then the grant is claimed by him and he knocks it off from our invoice. I assume he’s not making...

    What pleases you and annoys you most about your 3?

    Thank you for the video I’m already familiar with this, but it’s still not good enough for extreme rainy conditions. Trust me when you are driving in water spray fog on a motorway + torrential rain you would not want to take your eyes off the road for a split of a second.

    What pleases you and annoys you most about your 3?

    Had it for nearly two weeks so far. Love everything about it apart from two things: 1.I would like to be able to fire up the wipers manually from the control levers behind the steering wheel not from the touch screen. I find this safety critical when you are driving through torrential rain like...

    Give ONE reason why you purchased a Tesla

    My reason is the brand Tesla and it’s vision. They are the only mainstream car manufacturer at the moment who specialises in only makes EVs so you feel that they are taking the whole thing super seriously. All the other big brands are doing it half heartedly just to tick a box because Tesla...

    Insurance UK

    Direct line wanted to charge £700 while LV wanted £430. Direct line offers 36% for no claims discount while LV is 80%. I think this is one of the reasons why there might a price difference. Worth mentioning, Without no claims, LV would have cost about £2000, DL around £1000.

    Super charging, thump from car

    Hi, Just super charging my M3 for the first time. Sitting in the car I heard and felt a thump from underneath the car. Not huge but enough to feel. Wondering if this is something to worry about. Could it be heat expansion or some sort of thermal management kicking in?

    KICK mats?

    Ha ha wishful thinking. I have tried that already in my old car, she kicks off if she doesn’t have her shoes on. We are in the tantrum stage/terrible twos stage.

    KICK mats?

    Hi everyone, can anyone recommend kick mats that are compatible/look good with M3? We got our car today (:);)!!!!) and our toddler kicked the back seat none stop this afternoon, she thought it’s funny. The more we said stop the more she kicked and laughed. It was infuriating. The back of the...

    Where to sell my....

    Hi guys, Any ideas where to sell my old banger ICE car? I looked on we buy any car, but they undervalued it, so I’m looking for ideas please. Thank you

    Cancel or sell?

    I would not cancel. You said you still want to buy the car in the future, so by cancelling you are delaying it even further. I understand your frustration, the waiting game is horrible, I agree. If you really want the car still, try to switch your brain off about Tesla for few weeks. We all get...

    EU Low Speed Noise Generator

    At the moment I have an ice car waiting on m3 delivery, but with regards to noise emission I have the same problem : so even with an ice car, driving at a very low speed in the narrow road in our village behind pedestrians (no curbs) they sometimes can’t even hear my car behind them. I find the...

    Courtesy call from Tesla

    Just got a courtesy call from Tesla regarding our model 3. They said we should get our VIN next but he doesn’t know when or how soon the car will be here. It was nice to hear from them anyway.

    Anyone Else Ordered Lr?

    We just got an email with the same thing. We think that it’s becuase someone at Tesla messed up their calculations hence the updated agreement. The VAT SHOULD have been added before the government discount not after. So the price people should pay is the price of car plus vat on it then finally...

    I would love to hear from people here in the uk in whether they have opted for AWD or RWD on their model 3 orders. I’m not sure which one to go for. We live in the country side and it’s full of hills - and we do get a quite a bit of frost. Decisions decisions....
