    Range at Motorway Speeds

    Thanks for the reply. Gratifying to know that it is doable. I don't normally stop during this journey and would quite like to continue with that. I agree that the many speed restricted stretches , particularly on the M6, would considerably lower the average speed over the entire journey. I must...

    Range at Motorway Speeds

    I have a fairly regular journey of 250 miles, Cheshire to Kent - virtually all motorway (M6/M1/M25/M20), barring a few miles either end of journey. I would be interested to know if an M3/LR could manage this journey in one hit - I am a very sedate driver and happy to poodle along at 60-65mph if...

    19" Sport Wheels Return to UK

    In view of this recent change, I would be interested to know (as a potential, still sitting on the fence, M3 buyer) if there is any noticeable difference (apart from the obvious visual one) in the 18" aeros and these 19" sports wheels - I am referring specifically to range difference and ride...

    New breed of Model 3 drivers out there.

    Thanks for that truly heart warming post - you've just singlehandedly restored my faith in human nature.

    Wind noise above 50mph - pass door area, is this the issue?

    Don't know how many people have read this.... Tesla improves Model 3's interior cabin noise in latest production cars

    Black Exterior Door Jambs

    I think you have misunderstood my post - I was trying to say that I find it quite extraordinary that a £50k Premium car can't even match the build quality of a 10-year old run-of-the-mill Toyota!

    Apologies to Monty Python: Four Yorkshiremen with M3s

    Brilliant! I applaud you - best laugh I've had for ages.

    Black Exterior Door Jambs

    To be honest I don't think door jambs on a car is something I have really taken much notice of. However, out of curiosity, I have just gone outside to look at the door jambs on my wife's 10 year old Toyota Yaris. The paintwork on all 4 is perfect! Given that I seem to recall paying £6,000 for...

    Model 3 Insurance - Young Driver

    At the ripe old age of 44 you really are most certainly NOT an old fart - these words come from someone who can make a legitimate claim to that title!

    Just wow....and not in a good way

    That's great news! Looking forward to your review plus lots of photos!

    Tesla M3 LR-RWD

    Quite so - I knew about it because of the countless videos on youtube I have watched ever since the M3 hit the streets of California and beyond! I'm hopeful, rightly or wrongly, that once all the waiting lists have been fulfilled, that Tesla will be increasing it's model range configurations...

    Tesla M3 LR-RWD

    Well, notwithstanding everything that has already been said, there surely must be a demand for the longest possible range without the requirement for AWD - I'm sure I am not the only person in the UK who wants that!

    Tesla M3 LR-RWD

    I guess it's a learning curve for any of us who have little or no prior knowledge or experience of EVs - I very much put myself in that category. I think it's a case of finding the right model that best suits our own individual circumstances. Whichever model, or indeed make, I eventually decide...

    Tesla M3 LR-RWD

    I realise there is logic in their decision to limit the model range in order to maximise revenues and whittle away the waiting lists as quickly as possible - fortunately I am not in a hurry to switch to an EV, otherwise I would probably have taken the same route as yourself. In the meantime I...
