That’s a crazy price drop, personally I’d sell on autotrader privately as-trade in has always been a rip off. I’ve had some great cars over the years, lots of top end mercs and always lost money on them, the newer they are the more we lose and like GlynG says the only way to is to keep it and...

Thanks GlynG, nice to hear from someone in a similar situation to mine, we have the solar and battery system at home and like you benefit from practically free summer months driving, really on the fence about about keeping it, I always said I’d never have one of these out of warranty as the...

Hi all, I have an out of curiosity question that I was wondering if someone has a crystal ball to answer for me please :) I have a model3P, its on a 21 plate with the white seats in excellent condition and has been ceramic coated with 25 thousand miles on the clock, I bought the car outright...

Thank you all so much for the time and you've taken out to answer my question. I agree with a lot of points raised, fear of change and car manufacturers being tied into the oil industry, your likely next president’s insistence that ev’s are only good for driving around the block 😂, he does make...

Owners of Corvettes, Cayennes, Cobras, Countachs, and Chirons who have lost are unhappy., This made me laugh, brilliant and so true, I have the M3p and it’s just short of brutal from take off, left many an irrate bmw driver wondering what just happened 😂 not that I endorse this behavior and...

Thanks everyone for the replies, a lot makes sense, I bought and love my car for me and that’s what’s important, I know how brilliantly fantastic she is. I’m going to have to learn to ignore the negativity around ev’s especially again for some bizarre reason Tesla’s Thanks again

Hi, I have a question that I’d like an opinion on please? Why do the the general public have such distain over ev’s, that’s all you hear on social media YouTube etc is people rejoicing when a Tesla catches fire or won’t charge because it’s -20 degrees. All the manufacturers cutting back EV...

Hi Day Trippin, no rhd version in the uk at the moment, Cyber truck also not available for order yet and again if it doesn't have the rhd version then sales will stay low, not sure what the sales are for the Model S but I wouldn't have thought they'd be good, I personally haven't seen any new...

I need the space for bikes, there far to expensive to put on the roof and have to be practically stripped down to get them in the m3p for my events, otherwise I'd have no intension of a MY, I loooooooove my little rocket and will be gutted to see her/him/it (for the politically correct lol) go...

This is going to be an interesting read, I'm swapping my M3P for a MYLR or MYP early next year and really can't decide between the two, My Mr sensible says go for the LR not much of a range gain but should be a comfortable drive and it's cheaper to purchase, then Mr boy racer says after driving...

Nice and very detailed report, I'm from Wales and luckily we don't get really cold winters it's just always wet here 🙈, worst case scenario for us would be a few weeks in February it would dip to 0 celsius. I have a 21 plate M3P, swapping to MY next year and find I generally charge at home to...

I'm going to be selling my model 3P or a model Y early next year. still can't decide between the long range and performance though :rolleyes:

I love my model 3P, It's an awesome car but it'll be three years old June 2024 so with a heavy heart it'll be time to sell her/him on. Of all the cars I've had over the years I still look forward to driving it every day. No major issue's, in fact No issues's in 25k miles it's been great, taken...

35 thousand miles a year on 2x20 minute charges a month, you may want to work your numbers out again matey

Not impressed then 🤔 Took me a while to get into the EV way of thinking, I think it helps massively if you have home charging, solar panels battery etc. we drove ours 2200 miles in five days with not one single issue. If I was using the car to do let’s say 20k miles per year then I’d stick with...

Hi Model Y long range, 19” wheels for comfort. I feared I’d misss the front display, in fact it was my biggest concern, but I’ve never missed it in the slightest personally and don’t even think about it to the point that when I occasionally use an ICE car it feels strange.

Hi, I have the same dilemma, having owned two and currently still own a m3p, I think my next Tesla will be the Y, I’ve looked at a 3 year old used X for not much more money but, here’s the ‘But’ no heat pump it has chrome all over it which I think looks awful, it’s going to be nowhere near as...

Yes I never thought of it this way, we have so many speed restrictions over here you have to wonder why you'd buy a car like this in the first place, bragging rights are hell of a thing and it'll really p**s my mates off so worth every penny 😁

Thanks for the reply, with my M3P I found the only time I ever pushed to the limit was merely to show to others what the car was capable of doing, nearly always to my amusement as the first time Tesla experience is pretty awesome. But 99.9% of the time whilst driving on my own it would be in...

I've just sold my M3P, owned it since last September and I owe the whole of the Tesla community an immense apology, for six months I've slatted this car and called it everything from an appliance to a crock of rubbish, I've winged about the seats, the inaccurate mileage predictions, the build...

Totally agree, I have the same problems with the cameras, and the fsd is laughable at best if it hadn’t cost so much, the true fanboy would say ‘yes but it’s improving all the time’ I can confirm this is absolute rubbish, recently I’ve started just turning the whole thing off sometimes the less...

Yes maybe that came across the wrong way now I’m reading it back, Tesla sorry I mean electric cars are without a doubt the future of motoring, there are many good points to this car, we have the solar set up at home and yesterday I put 80 miles in the triple A’s, take out the costs of the car...

Model S possibly, either of these cars, It’s just my opinion it’s a car with no soul, it’s like owning an appliance on wheels. When I park the 911 in a car park and walk away I’ll nearly always look back and smile, it’s got that feel about it that almost makes it part of you. The only time I’ve...

M3p owner and I have to say I agree with most of what you say. Like a lot of owners in here I have owned lots of top end cars over the years and I’ve never had a car that I have equally loved and hated at the same time. Lately I’ve gone to regard it as an appliance, completely characterless...

Yes I can see what your saying and the power that’s needed to run this sentry system, thank you for the explanation, I know it sounds like I’m rubbishing the system but my question was purely an inquisitive one, and now I have the answer 😊

That’s a crazy amount of kWh for a simple camera system, 4 kwh per day is insane. My last car had the blackvue system installed, just as good as sentry, it wouldn’t use 4kwh in a month let alone a day. This is probably why a lot only use it if they feel the car may be vulnerable, I’m in that...

Thank you for enlightening me, it seems my knowledge of ev’s is embarrassing, I thought charging at home on 7.2kw was the best way to charge these cars, we also have the solar panels so during the summer months it’ll mostly just be sitting on the driveway getting a trickle feed of juice, a lot...

Brilliant thank you very much, so the extra 100 kwh roughly would be me warming the car up and sentry mode ( I must say I have noticed sentry mode over the course of a day smashes the kw’s ) so if I hadn’t used anything other than the motors kWh to propel the car then I’d have saved 100kw 😳...

Hi can anyone answer this question for me, during the month of February from the very beginning to the end I have three different kWh usage readings as follows Podpoint ev charger 237.8 kwh Tesla phone app 222 kwh Tesla trip A in car screen 129 kwh Not a massive difference between the first...

Totally agree about the seats, mine are the same, great for an hour or so but on series miles they are the worst I’ve ever had on any car, way to soft with very little support and I’ve never been able to get that comfy position. My 1984 fiesta 1.1 had better seats 😂. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Thanks for the replies, I wouldn’t be selling because I have to quite the opposite, I’d sell it simply because I despair at losing such a large sum of money in such a short period of time, for me it’s time to ‘cash out’ as the saying goes. And even with prices being as low as they are I...

Ok basically long story short, I have a model3p full fsd the usual generic Tesla car, I have owned luxury mid range cars for over 30 years, in that time I’ve had new E classes, BMW’s, Porsche etc etc you get the picture. I Bought this car used about nine months ago as we have the solar panels...

I have had a model 3 for a few months now and find it the most uncomfortable seats on any car I’ve ever had, not noticeable on short journeys but anything over an hour is painful, I’ve tried micro adjustments on everything and it’s made no difference, to the point I’m seriously on the verge of...

Thanks for the thoughts, I still have t decided what to do, I’ve gone from originally wanting a set of winter wheels to maybe changing the 20” standard wheels to aftermarket 19” lighter and stronger with the added bonus of a slightly softer ride. I’ll make a decision eventually and take some...

Hi, I’ve recently bought my first Tesla, it’s a used car, picked up a bargain and saved a fortune on new. First two weeks of ownership so still getting used to it, some fantastic features and other are not so great, my question though is this I need to replace within the next thousand miles the...

Assembly and build quality the worst of any car I've ever owned, the last time i had build quality on a car like my M3P was way back in the eighties.

Hi, just bought my first M3P, nice car it's two years old, white and white low miles and in fantastic condition. I've had the car two weeks now and so far mixed feelings about it, 38 years driving experience, always been a car lover and had some great cars over the years from my first cosworth...
