I thought that free supercharger miles earned by using a referral link when purchasing your Tesla expired after 12 months? However, I bought my car early September 2020 and noticed today that the "Loot" box in the Android app no longer shows any mention of miles (or kWh) remaining. I can see...

I really feel for you. Though I know it's wrong, I really couldn't resist being violent if I found the culprit. It's one reason why I always leave Sentry mode on whenever I leave the car in a public place.

Thank you, and apologies for not reading properly before posting!

I seem to recall that there were rumours that a fairly major software release was due and that Elon had tweeted that it would be "Hot". I thought the 22nd was mentioned. Anyone heard anything further?

It's a common one I think. It pops up on my M3P regularly, usually at night or when the low sun is shining on one of the pillar cameras.

Indeed, my thought too!

A question for the technical experts: I know from experience that my Android phone will show that it is connected to my M3P from, very roughly, 7 or 8 metres away. I also know that I wouldn't be able to unlock the car with the phone until it's physically much closer than that. My question is...

I've had my M3P nearly three months. It's not been used very much in that time to be honest - only about 1,500 miles covered. In that time I don't seem to have mastered the correct, unhindered method of opening and starting the car with my OnePlus Android phone. Here's the usual sequence of...

I get the warning very frequently, always when either the camera is looking out at darkness, or, more often, when the low sun is shining on it. It doesn't bother me at all.

No disagreement with the maths, but it made me think - do we have modern data on how efficient the charging process is? In other words, if we use 50kWh from our mains supply, how many kWh ends up as useful energy? I saw some old data from research done in 2013 which suggested an efficiency...

I certainly don't regret buying my M3P at all, but I miss the adaptive cruise control from my Golf R, which simply worked, without weird phantom braking, and set the cruise speed to your current speed, not the speed limit.

Had a strange one today. Parked up the M3P at a Pod Point 7kW charger and connected up and started charging - all normal. Came back probably an hour later and opened up the charging screen and touched the "Stop charge" button on the screen. Absolutely no action. Repeatedly doing the same...

Yes, I guess waiting for better weather makes sense. To be honest, the thing that worries me most is making an almighty cock-up and ending up paying someone to sort it out! Because if it's possible to mess it up, you can rely on me! Not having cover to keep a decent environment to work in is...

As the title, I'm debating whether to attempt applying a ceramic coat to my M3P, using DaveW's excellent guide. I'm going to ask what is probably a very dozy question. Do you apply the ceramic coat to the glass roof of the M3? I know the principle of ceramic coating is that the coating bonds...

Jason, that's spot on. The phone unlocks as normal (by proximity). I do have pin-to-drive and I have experienced the slowness of that to respond, as you described. This is quite different. To be absolutely honest, I'm not sure whether the P2D screen comes up before the message about needing...
