Hi, I'm interested in the winter wheels. Just wondered it they have any TPMS fitted and if so are they the older or newer version (post 2021)? Thanks!

I do the trip both ways over the channel in UK and EU cars. My latest was coming back to the UK with my LHD 2023 French MY. Just thought to mention all this chat about the headlights not requiring adjustment is absolute rubbish in my experience IF you have one of the newer M3's or MY's with the...

Tesla were never able to fix it and I gave up even trying as it was just a waste of time. Solution was to sell the car :(

Hi James, Just saw your post. There were actually 2 stages to this "fix". The first was to stick the thick padded adhesive felt on each surface at the side of the seats where it meets the bolster. This resulted in two benefits; 2x soft surfaces rubbing together and them being higher fitting...

Good Morning, Unfortunately I can't see the video you posted. Can you repost it?

Sent you a message regarding these wheels :)

Just thought I'd share my recent post in the UK section of the forum as your post popped up as a "similar thread". I had pretty much the identical issue in my China made 2021 Model 3 and after 4 visits to Tesla Service I gave up on them. I spent a few days diagnosing it myself and found a fix...

Unfortunately I don't have the 2020 Fremont car anymore so can't compare but I did notice immediately in the MIC version the rear seat backs don't seem to latch as securely as the did in my previous M3. There were a few other subtle changes to the seats (black fabric instead of white on the...

Just thought I'd share a fix I've found for a fault that has been annoying me and a friend on our China built Model 3's delivered in March 2021 as it's taken me weeks of trial and error. My car with the white interior was worse but either that's the white seats being different, bad luck or the...

To my mind this talk of tariffs and transport costs is a bit of a distraction. In my opinion Tesla pricing is set to whatever the market will pay and also to take maximum advantage of any subsidies with a view to increasing the profit margin as much as possible. It's hard to compare prices...

I use 50kW DC chargers quite often as they are so common in Scotland and this is one annoying feature of the Model 3. Other cars such as the VW ID4, Hyundai Kona and Nissan Leaf I've tried are able to draw between 43 and 50kW right from the start. However, the Model 3 on the same charger loses...

These camera based adaptive cruise systems have been around for quite a while on other cars as I understand they are cheaper. For example, I had a Mini a few years back on which I had issues with the Adaptive Cruise Control. It deactivated in bad weather and when driving into a sunset (amongst...

That's rather unfortunate. In the case of the Tesla I'd think IF the GPS failed it would be almost unusable anyway so if the lights started pointing the wrong direction it would probably the least of the concerns. Anyway, let's hope the Tesla is more lucky for you in this regard!

I've been thinking about this too as I was considering bringing a LHD Model 3 to the UK quite often and selling the RHD one I have here just now to save having two cars. However, this is one of the things stopping me. With many cars you can "get away with it" - in older cars I used to sometimes...

Just thought to share a few small updates of our experience so far with the made in China compared to Fremont now a month and over 1000 miles have passed. We've had several Model 3's in the company so can make some comparisons. It's not a disaster but to us it just seems the issues are...
