Did you guys read the article? It’s due to the chip shortage and the fact that the module in question is not used. All auto makers are cutting some options out due to chip shortage.

Hi Smithers, Yessir, that’s me. Do you have a TM3 too?

No, they do, but the Performance is on another level. It has this instant hit and then sustained acceleration. The LR has similar sustained acceleration but doesn’t have that violent hit to start it off. Makes a difference to the passenger reaction from “wow this is scary” to “just expletives”...

I went into “buying a model 3” on the basis I’d be buying a P as it was within budget and I’m a performance freak that tracks cars for fun. In the end I went LR purely on the basis that any model 3 is not a £60k car. It’s at best a £55k or less car. That doesn’t do the P any favours as they are...

Model 3 can’t be chassis straightened after an accident either. Means it will be written off much more easily than a steel construction car.

Don’t forget that high rate DC charge is also not good for the battery. I.e. superchargers. So better to slow rate to 100% to avoid a supercharge en route.

No experience of this yet, but let us know what modes you tried and how the car reacted. What was it doing instead, rear axle spinning up, front axle spinning up, both spinning up? etc. Not all summer tyres are the same is a factor here too. Assuming you have Michelin’s on, I have found them...

What is it you want to know? Plenty of hands on EV owners on here to help with your questions. I wouldn’t trust most sales folk at a dealer on a conventional car, never mind an EV.

You guys are brave. I only ever use AP on motorways, even then not that often. I generally use cruise control only.

Tesla superchargers and model 3 efficiency are a big advantage still. Imagine running a less efficient EV and charging up on the likes of InstaVolt at 45p/kw. Together with the anxiety that wherever you’re heading the chargers are actually working. Costs more than ICE with much less convenience.

Hi All, on a long trip earlier this week I needed to charge, so stopped at Burtonwood services (M56 near Warrington). When I arrived there were 2 bays free. Plugged in, blue light but no green. Tried a few more times, same deal. Then the car next to me left (told me he was getting slow charge...

Long Range? If yes you should easily do that. I regularly travel to a customer 121 miles away up the A1 . Leaving with 95-100%, I get back home with 21% remaining. 242 miles with a cabin heat from cold on return leg. That’s at less than 5 Celsius, dry day. Superchargers at St Neots if you...

UV light exposure does change paint colours. Whilst you say it’s been recently sprayed in a body shop, they will try to match the colour with the rest of the ‘now faded’ panels, not the original white. The door shuts don’t get UV exposure so will be closer to original colour. That plus angled...

I too miss the trip, and the double press for demist isn’t great. Don’t like the position change of the additional Nav page options. And they seem to disappear pretty quick. But there are a number of massive improvements. Really like the parking sensor distance reading, never seen that...

Surely Tesla will be tracking down and informing said owner about the error and to bring it in to have correct plates fitted? Would be scandalous if they don’t.
