She was parked next to a Tesla destination charger, not in the marked space. The car was locked. The charging flap can be opened from the charger lead. No harm done but be aware that you can be plugged in by others.

My better half was at the local shopping center in our M3 the other day. She drove around to check if any of the 4 charging spots were available. There was some issue with who was first to the only remaining charge spot so she let another non Tesla into the spot and parked along side. When she...

I would not go on holidays without my mobile charger. I have had a M3 since 2019 and have used the mobile charger many times when away from home.

I have now had my M3 LR two and a bit months and have driven 3200km. Not a lot but maybe enough to do a quick consumption comparison. I had my SR+ for three and a half years, covered 51,000km at 147 wh/km driving around Sydney's northern beaches. Also had a trip to and around Tassie and many to...

Yes

I sold my 2019 SR+ and purchased a new M3 LR. Delivered in March this year. Same reasons as you. The tyres have the same profile and the ride is the same. Dual motors mean better handling. The new car is quieter and has a better finish. We went for the white interior, no regrets. Buy a new one.

All Teslas were built in Fremont, Califoria, prior to Giga factories in Shanghi etc. I agree that fit and finish is better in my 2023 M3 LR, Shanghi, when compared to my 2019 M3 SR+, Freemont. The Fremont one wasn't bad by any stretch but the 2023 is better. As it should be 3 years on.

I'm 74, hearing at this age is not what is was at 18. I was happy with the sound system in my 2019 SR+. The sound in my new 2023 LR is better. Clearer mid range. Can be VERY loud. I lowered both the bass and the sub woofer level from the factory setting. If sound is important to you, listen at...

My daughter has a Jan 2023 M3 RWD. A very nice car. Very efficient. Low noise levels. I was amazed at the distance she can go compared with my SR+. Doesn't quite have the same level of composure on the road as the LR. Is the LR worth the extra money? For me yes, for others, it's your choice. I...

A few observations now that I have my new 2023 made M3 LR. White, with white interior. 18 inch wheels. My previous Tesla was a 2019 M3 SR+. It was white with black interior. 51,000km at 147 wh/km. New set of tyres at 47,000km. Upper control arms replaced under warranty. The LR is very bright...

What is a 2019 M3 stealth?

Have sold my 2019 M3 SR+ to a private buyer. Change over is in a week or so. Teslas are not normal cars. What do I need to do before the new owner drives away. My question is about the car not the money.

Carsales instant offer is $38500. The highest dealer offer is $41000. Many around $38000. The Tesla offer is looking OK. I think used Tesla values, especially 2019 SR+ M3s, are going down. If no one is prepared to give me $47500 it's off to Tesla. No hassles that way.

One week on from my initial post, so here's the news. Tesla has offered $42000 trade in for my 2019 50k M3 SR+. This is for a new LR. Originally, back when I placed the order, was thinking $40000 would be OK. None of the "instant offers" have been this high. Put the M3 on Carsales for $47500...
