Yes, I also had a bill last week from Sixt for supercharging in August 2023, although oddly it only related to the last top up charge I did before returning the car to Munich Airport and didn't include all the rest of the supercharging during the time I had the car. Maybe more invoices to...

I recently rented a Model Y for a week at Munich Airport using Sixt. I did c. 1000km around Germany and Austria in that time (remembering to buy an Austrian toll sticker on the way to the border!). Find the whole process very straightforward - the superchargers just worked as normal. I haven't...

Just to add my experience on this - last year my M3LR was insured with Direct Line at a premium of c.£875. Just had the renewal through and they've quoted £1,375, despite nothing changing at all. Clearly Direct Line aren't interested in retaining my business, so I've done the comparison sites...

Obvious suggestion but could you have a stone stuck in the tyre?

Yes I've just done this as well. The advantage is that you can cut the PPF to a bigger size as I find the original stickers were too small and so I got a paint chip next to the roof.

We're a two EV household with a 2021 Model 3 LR and a 2019 BMW i3. Model 3 mostly does the nursery runs and we use the i3 as a station car or local runabout.

Well had my latest service appointment and the ranger basically did nothing save for reset the boot by holding the close button in until it beeped. Unfortunately I wasn't home when he came otherwise I'd have told him I'd already tried that... In any event the"fix" has only sorted it temporarily...

Well after having it "fixed" by a ranger a couple of weeks ago, the boot has stopped working again so I've booked another ranger visit. This time the paperwork seems to indicate they're going to replace the strut itself, but will see...

I was at work so my wife dealt with him - think they may have adjusted the latch but not really sure.

Had the ranger fix my boot this morning - apparently it wasn't the powered strut but the latch not releasing correctly. Not totally convinced by that explanation but if they've not fixed it I'll just book in another appointment. 🤔 Also did some kind of recall work to fit insulation to the a/c...

Yeah you can open it manually but it takes a few goes to unlatch, so think there might be a couple of different issues involved. Wonder if it might be temperature related to some extent as its much worse now it's colder.

My powered boot has stopped working today as well - technician booked for 4 Feb. Mrs isn't happy as she can't fit the baby buggy in our other car.

Just upgrading to 2021.32.10 now - 2021 M3LR without FSD.

Were you able to schedule the service via the app, or did you have to call them? If via the app, what section did you use - "other"? Thanks

I was at Rugby services S/C last night around 5pm and when I arrived there was only 1 S/C free, which surprised me. Were a couple of the Gridserve chargers free as well, but overall it was way busier than I expected. Still a really good setup though.
