    model 3 efficiency?

    Sounds about right to me. At 70 you will get a bit further and as others have said preconditioning before you leave will also help.

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    Ok, so not just me then. Is your a P-, LR or P out of interest? I'm hoping a 100% charge may help let the BMS know the top and get me a few back but not had a long enough drive planned to justify a full charge.

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    Thanks for the replies. I'll keep an eye on it, I have had a few occasions where I've need to fully charge and it kept charging for sometime after the car reported 100%. Maybe next time I do that it will help recalibrate and I'll gain a few miles back, who knows!

    Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

    I've not really worried about this much, but this thread did prompt me to see what reading I was getting. I have a UK 2019 P-. I think my EPA range is 310 (can anyone confirm?) and now the BMS shows 278 at 100% which seems to be lower than most replies on the forum. The car is on 14k and has...

    "Failed to turn on climate" - Help [solved]

    I've been having this issue too recently. Never noticed it before (had my car over 18months) but in this hot weather I've had it happen over half a dozen times. Each time the car has plenty of charge and reception seemed ok. The app overall has seemed a bit slow recently now I think about it...

    Model 3 rental near Manchester?

    Worth giving easirent a call. I know they did have a white SR+ at the Wigan branch, this was about 18 months ago. Not sure what they have now, I know back then they were not seeing much demand and the owner was using it himself most of the time. Chris.

    Model 3 Rear Sunshade

    Thanks Mr. H. I'm not sure if this is what the OP was talking about but I was thinking the mesh type rather than the type to keep the sun out when parked. Evannex have a mesh one for the roof but not the windows, all the ones I found were too big for the Model 3 rear side windows. Chris.

    Model 3 Rear Sunshade

    Hi, I asked this exact question about a year ago and no one had any good suggestions. I also looked around myself and bought a few options, none fit well. So if you find anything I'd be very interested to know. Thanks, Chris.

    Cruise control no longer safe

    +1 on many of the things already said. Cruise control is one of the worst aspects of Tesla ownership. I would much prefer the option of a dumb cruise control whilst Tesla get the performance of the current system to a minimum safe level.

    locking car while charging

    Just to check are you trying the card on the drivers or passenger side? Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know but the card only works on the drivers B pillar. Chris.

    Real time traffic?

    I don't think the traffic is from Google Maps. I'm sure I read that although the mapping is Google the traffic is from another source. I will try and find where I read it. Chris.

    Sun shades (not the roof ones)

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion but have you fitted these? I have tried some very similar and they are too tall. They are 38cm and you only really have 28cm when you account for the part of the window that sits on the top seal and the need to leave space for it to drop. You can put them...

    Sun shades (not the roof ones)

    All, I've done a search but can't find anything so hoping for some suggestions or a link to threads I've missed. We are going to be using our model 3 as the main family car from now on so need to sort out sun shades for the kids. I can find lots on sun shades for the roof but not the rear...

    Check your v5 on model 3

    Yup me too. P- owner, V5 says LR but I have the red line on the back, in the software and track mode (although I've not checked it works). Car also seems quick enough to believe a sub 4sec 0-60. I have insured it as a Performance though to be safe, plus I checked and there didn't seem to be...

    Camera recommendations

    Sorry to hear that Gaz. I saw a silver model S, with a bike rack on the roof and taped up rear window on the M60 earlier. Was that you? I hope you get it sorted and find a new dash cam that will catch the b******s next time.
