    Got the latest download and thats whats caused me the same issues and cant see dab or the signal just a tune symbol and FM next to it, not dab and the signal like before. Waste of real estate showing nothing really. Cant seem to differentiate the fm to dab from the interface.

    Acceleration Boost vs Third Party Hacks

    Similar with BMW I had a M240 it was no different to M2 other than the M2 has slip diff, better disks but harder running and noisy and more expensive. The M240 was limited same with the M2 as they cant be better than M3 and above. The M240 also had the ability to do a few stage upgrades from...

    Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3?

    It was nearly £8K difference in september. My LR in red was 50.5K Vs 58K plus more insurance. Red LR is listing now at £58.5K vs P £62K So yes its now near the P price . BUT UK delivery for the LR is March 2023 Vs P at Nov 2022. Does this mean more people happy with LR than the P so demand...

    Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3?

    I am very happy with my 3LR and not yet pumped for the boost. I was thinking getting the P and did not like the LR areos. BUT price did not make sense. Anything that does 4 seconds is seriously fast and did not know at the time the boost was available, would have totally ruled the P out. 7...

    Acceleration Boost vs Third Party Hacks

    I am thinking of the tesla boost, but not a 3rd party, any warranty issues will be void by telsa and will blame the mod for any issue. they will know and will want any excuse not to spend cash and already wiggle out of issues like fogged lights, unpainted bolts whatever if they find a remap then...

    129 calling

    Agreed 999 but its not actually dialling just hung showing 129 on the head unit and nothing going to phone. No music and thats how I know somethings up. Samsung S20 so fairly up to date phone and android. Will delete phone delete app and install app and reconnect if it does it again.

    129 calling

    May not have a cellular plan that we pay for but it does. Your car will show previously 3G but this is shutting down and now LTE. (assuming your Tesla has the new modem) LTE is cellular data 4G. 4G is a mobile data connection either voice or data. Its via mobile data or cell. You pay tesla for...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    I thought I was going to get the 79kwh pack as EU but got 74kwh as I am in the UK. Nothing said this from order to delivery paperwork or the car head unit. Only after asking Tesla to confirm and some indication on charging from say 40% to 90% adding 32kwh made the maths. Now the new cars on uk...

    Unable to remove the charging cable

    Its a plug no buttons triggers just like the cable you get for public charging or the granny charger. As far as I am aware its only Tesla home chargers have a button or trigger. Even tesla superchargers dont have a trigger?

    Unable to remove the charging cable

    Ill have a look. I think if you put it on boost and set the tesla on timer then it should just charge up. But the zappy we need to draw / charge with solar PV and we may not fully charge is suns out. I have yet to play with the zappy and its settings or how to balance a minimum charge vs spare...

    head light frost

    First stint in the freezing uk weather and fantastic press defrost on the app and all is good. Nice and cosy and defrosted. Not worked out how the timed condition works yet if it only works plugged in then may not be for me as I do not plug in every day and use off peak tariff. May look to put...

    Unable to remove the charging cable

    I am having similar issues. I do not have a tesla charger but a zappi so no button on plug. SO I use the app. (frustrating as it takes time to connect to the car so standing looking stupid while it connects then sends signal to unlock. Should be a button by the socket and use bt to unlock if...

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    Thanks all I am not trying to be difficult. (I am a process engineer/.scientist). Ok CAPACITY and this is my big point I dont know what mine is officially so suspect it 75KW as some people previously pointed out. Ill look at the dongle and app but not a general thing for most people. So now...

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    Ok so its 360 75KW. So 70% of 360 miles I can claim on the warranty that 252 miles I am only doing 268 not far to go for a claim. Is it 70% of 360 as advertised or 330 or 260 or 200 or 100 or 10. whats the designed range. For me I dont care on USA EU whatever but UK.
  50. J

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    That makes sense BUT I have a claim then on Tesla as I purchased a 360 mile car. This in breach of trade description advertising 360 / 82kw but delivering a 75kw. How does this stack up on warranty on battery when range drops below 70% I have 360 miles as advertised.... but already down to 330...
