Glad I took this at face value heading south last week and skipped CR southbound. We did top up on our return trip (almost all the chargers were in use), wish we’d used the hotel facilities as the path to the main services was rather muddy and a nasty road crossing- and then their toilets were...

Figured someone here might have a personal recommendation, but good to know most MOT places ought to be OK with a Tesla nowadays. Cheers.

Hi. Another Model 3 owner here, approaching my first MOT next month (top tip - you can sign up for automated email reminders from DVLA). Can any body recommend a good garage in or near Dundee which have handled MOT testing for a Tesla? Thanks!

Thanks. A shame that's even further out of my way. I took the car to Broxburn recently, got an estimate back in low thousands due mainly to having to take off the front bumper (which apparently is a massive hassle due to all the sensors which have to come out, be put back, and then calibrated)...

According to Body Shop Support | Tesla there are now only two Tesla approved body shops in Scotland: Eastern Western Accident Repair Centre, 8 Westerton Road, East Mains Industrial Estate, Broxburn, Broxburn, EH52 5AU Contact Us in Broxburn, near Edinburgh | Accident Repair Centre Mitchell...

Splitting the investment as a co-op is the Ripple Business model - they cream off a bit setting up the projects etc. For the customers part of the motivation is directly backing a green energy producer, not just as a financial investment with the pay-off as credits to your electricity bill...

Makes me glad my Model 3 came with the mud flaps (I never fitted the extensions, would clip on our driveway).

I lost the personalized shortcut icons on the bottom of the screen (wipers, demist, heated seats etc) with the 2023.2.22 update - hadn’t noticed anything else though, but don’t use personal media accounts. Reset didn’t help, so recreated the shortcuts.

I did resurrect an old thread so prices will have changed. Looks like you got more miles out of your tyres than me, but again uneven wear on the fronts. Seems could be quite common?

Looking on KwikFit or BlackCircles, it was down to these versus the Continental All Season Contact 235/45 R18 Y (98), being the only B rolling resistance all season options coming up. I've ordered a set too, thanks. Mine is also a Model 3 SR+ on 18" rims, but only 24k miles. I'm opting to take...

Mine too, Tesla Model 3 SR+ with 24k miles from new, and only noticed due to parking at full lock: In fact the rears are due too, although harder to see it looks more evenly worn. Anyway, time for a full set of tyres, and this time all season ones. There was another thread about a Model 3 with...

Booked in with Tesla, just 2 weeks to wait which is better (although the downside is wasting a day visiting the service centre, versus the AutoGlass option at our local KwikFit). Insurance company was fine with this, will reimburse me less the ~£200 excess.

I just got a chip in the black just above the wipers yesterday. Insurance sent me to AutoGlass who said the location meant it couldn't be repaired and they had a 5 weeks wait on parts to replace the windscreen (they've booked me in locally). A short drive today and it is now a 34cm crack, not...

Do they look about the same in terms of curb rash risks?

I've always used the ISOFIX with these in the back seat, and primarily the Maxi-Cosi Kore i-Size (the Diono Everett NXT is in our other car). You may be right about no seat belt warning - child has often said "Wait! I'm still doing my seatbelt" without the car complaining. I'd guess the ISOFIX...
