Hi all My Model 3 needs its first MOT this month. Anyone know anywhere in the North East area that knows how to handle a Tesla? Don't want to give it to some random garage for them to say "yes don't worry" and they end up listing it incorrectly and damaging something. Thanks

Hi guys Got these brand new but decided against installing them, opted for a different look, but they're unused so a shame to see them go to waste. I got these from Tesbros in the US for $94 + $64 shipping (I know!) - Center Console Wrap - Dashboard Wrap - Interior Door Trim Comes with all...

Hi all Selling a footrest/dead pedal for the pre-2021 Model 3. I have the new version so have no need for it. Brand new. No drilling required. Simply peel off the stickers and stick it on. £15 including postage anywhere in the UK

I'm going keyless in general, to have a fob that does it will defeat the object - but thanks for the suggestion! I think I'll buy a EV Charge King kit, spray paint the housing black, get the sparky to put it all together and replace my existing plug. That should do the trick.

Mine doesn't do that, I have to unlock after stopping charging. This doesn't always work for me, but still, I'd rather just grab my plug, press and plug it in - rather than press the charge port, turn round, get plug, plug in it, or same in another order. Yeah looked at that, didn't really...

Hey everyone So, I got my Andersen EV charger and I love it. It's slick, stylish, and the fact the cable wraps away is great. The app is fantastic too. However, one drawback to the normal Tesla Wall Charger is the lack of a button to open the charge port and unlatch it? I seem to have to fanny...

Please set your horn to Ric Flair shouting "WOOOOO!" and see if you still agree with the statement you just made.

Thanks, I'll try that when it's light.

This is bullshit. I wanted to have Ric Flair woo'ing when I honked my horn. Is it definitely confirmed that the speaker is not physically there and just isn't active? I've heard it is due to EU law. I know the UK has left the EU now, if the speaker is physically there then I'm sure an update...

Hello all Got my 2021 Model 3 and did the latest update. I read the notes and got excited with the new Boombox feature. However, I don't see it in the Toybox. I read on YouTube that this is because EU cars don't have a external speaker due to laws. Question is, is it true that there isn't...

Ok, if waiting is the answer then so be if. Thanks for the replies.

Took my Model 3 delivery last week. Very happy but now I'm starting to work out the small niggles. I can't sign into YouTube. It tells me the browser isn't supported. Weird, but after doing a bit research it's a common problem. The workaround is to sign into Plex. I can't do that, as when I...

Does anyone know if this applies to UK sales? I had a call earlier (before I noticed this thread) and had someone confirming my pickup on Thursday but he didn't mention this. I will mention it when I pick it up regardless.

Picking mine up from Tesla Leeds on Thursday. Can't wait!

I got a text and email today asking me to choose my delivery date/time (it's actually a pickup about an hours train drive away) I went for the earliest. Just under a month to go.

How would you have managed that then?

Nah I'm in the UK, ordered mid October. Told I'm looking at mid December. I can't wait.

Long Range

Called Tesla and asked for my VIN. 10th digit is an M and 11th digit is an F. Guy said I'm definitely getting a refreshed model made in the US. So, thanks for the replies. I am getting a US battery. I didn't plan to charge this to 100% anyway so I am glad to get the better density.

Maybe that's the case! I could be wrong. Any clarity would be good.

Does anyone know about the Fremont battery being better than the Chinese one on the M3 LT AWD? I am worried I will get a Chinese one - I don't have a VIN yet (though I do have text message to say I'm allocated to a car)

Ordered my M3 LR on 13th Oct, but on the 26th Oct I changed the colour from white to Midnight Silver I was told I would now get my car in December. Got a text last week to say I am now matched to a car, but can't see my VIN etc... I read elsewhere on this forum that cars from China have a...

Do you have any other info about this? I ordered my M3 LR on 13th Oct, but on the 26th Oct I changed the colour. I was told I would now get my car in December. Got a text last week to say I am now matched to a car, but can't see my VIN etc... I hope I don't get a Chinese one with a poorer...

Thanks. Yeah I think I'm going to expand my horizons a bit.

I found a local installer who has great reviews but said this "we will give the paint a single stage machine polish, we do not specalise in paint correction as we are not a detailing service but are able to polish the paint smooth prior to the ppf and coating being applied."

I don't known the VIN hasn't shown up yet on my account, they just said I had one. Since then I've changed the car colour so it's probably changed anyway.

Hey guys Got my M3 on order and I originally ordered a white car, with the intention of simply getting it wrapped. The more research I did, however, made me realise I would need to get a wrap, then PPF, then ceramic. So, I thought it would be cheaper just to pay Tesla for the extra for the...

Well, I've been doing a lot of research since I made that post. So much so that I've dumped the colour wrapping idea - and I called Tesla to change the color of the car to Midight Silver/Grey. However, I'm now going to do Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coating. I'm waiting to hear back...

Thanks guys. I called Tesla and changed colour from a White to Midnight Silver free of charge (although I will need to pay for the colour itself). I was told I'd now be rematched to a silver car and therefore may push my delivery to December. I'm fine with this. So no need to colour wrap...

That's terrible, I hope you get sorted. The irony...

Yeah the colour I was going to wrap would be similar to the Tesla dark grey colour anyway - so I may just go with that and get the PPF only. I'll see if I can call Tesla today.

I'm now thinking... perhaps I should ask Tesla to change my order from white to grey (hopefully there won't be a fee and/or delay in delivery)... And then just get a full PPF job... that way I'm still covered from rocks and stuff... but I won't have to wrap it and PPF it, I can just PPF it.

Thanks for all of the varied replies. I think I need to do more research on wrapping. I ordered white so I could later wrap it, and it does seem I want this PPF on it, but not sure if you can have that AND a wrap? I shall enquire.

Hoping I can get some clarity as I seem to be getting mixed messages on Google. I've got a white M3 on order. Once I get it, I plan to get it fully wrapped. I have two questions 1. Pre-wrap, can you take a Tesla through an automatic car wash or will it damage the battery? 2. If so, could...

M3 LR AWD in white ordered 13th October 2020 in the UK Will be getting it wrapped in a different colour post delivery Confirmed by Tesla that I have a 2021 M VIN and it is a refreshed model No delivery date thus far, except verbally told by Tesla "late November"

He means where the rear view mirror is. Looks like a subtle change there.

Yes you should have a case number, or at least something logged against your initial order number. It is a shame you're put off. I've had nothing but positive things everytime I've spoke to them either in person or over the phone. But yes, your company as the buyer has basic rights if they...

It sounds like you've been extremely unlucky there on multiple counts. Has your company paid for it in full? Would suggest if not that they stop paying immediately. Get pics and case numbers from Tesla and build up as much evidence. I'd have already dumped it on the forecourt as soon as it was...

Literally!

LR.

Just called Tesla, and yet again pleased with their service. I have been assigned an M VIN, despite the website not updating. Even though I am in the UK, I am getting a Fremont car (side question, what bloody shipping route do they use?) which I am told is expected to hit UK shores (if all goes...

I don't have a "sales advisor" per se. Do you mean just ringing Tesla up and spending to general customer services?

I ordered on 13th October and haven't got anything yet, other than the email to confirm my order was changed (which was a new refreshed model).

Yeah I'm checking on my phone. I'll check on desktop tomorrow! Good shout.

My delivery date still shows as blank. I'm hoping sometime this week this updates so I can start planning selling my existing car etc...

If you go on the UK website, it says estimated delivery for the new model is November based on an order placed Today. I know these are estimates, but I can't imagine they'd still have that there if it was far off. When I had my test drive (before the refresh was announced) the sales guy in the...

Can someone explain to me the point of a heated steering wheel? I don't get it. Wouldn't your hands be sweaty in minutes?

I called Tesla today and she said if I ordered in the last month and don't have a VIN, I will definitely get the refreshed model. Shortly afterward the image of the car on my Tesla account updated with the new version. Have you checked yours?

- this video has a few accessories, one of them is a rubber seal that helps with the road noise coming through. Might be worth a look.
