the SSD is powered from the USB port. Interestingly I rebooted twice on the way to Wales (Bangor). Since then (5 hours driving ) the problem hasn't reocurred. wondered if there is a cache somewhere cleared by rebooting? I have since logged with Tesla and will feed back what they say

Hi I use a sandisk ssd drive partitioned for both audio and cameras. Always worked fine in the past. Now after about an hours driving listening to music in a usb folder there is a large pause between songs (sometimes 10 minutes). Eventually it recovers but it is really frustrating as if you...

Mine is an SR+ and delivered on 25th June. All seems fine to me. Haven't taken it any real distance yet, a few 20 mile journeys. After a Nissan Leaf have to say it feels like a cut above. Panel gaps don't seem excessive, paintwork is good.

Pleased to know it's not just me curbing my M3 - mine lasted a day before I clipped it :( Fortunately only a small chip. I have bought the paint from the recommended Amazon link and I suspect I will get plenty of use from it

it might have worked fine but I didn't have that nugget of information before delivery. I had also set up my profile in advance on my personal email - I just assumed I could put VIN, lic details etc and use that. Also was advised by Tesla it could be fiddly to change in flight so I thought I'd...

yes well I've asked them to change it. Probably will go the same way as my lost referral I guess. Not a big problem but if it's my main email contact address that means I'll have to check my corp email on hols if I want to check Tesla messages. I suppose they would text me anything urgent. Also...

ah that makes perfect sense, surprised Tesla support didn't't tell me that :)

got mine today! SR+ on 18" wheels and as others mentioned Michelin tyres. Annoyingly my corporate email address was linked to the account so I am getting it transferred over to my personal email. This meant the app isn't working yet but have been for a spin using the card key. Changed to the...

got my M3 today - iPod works and all the tracks are there but playlists don't. Would need to do something with the tags on the audio files to get the playlists to read like albums I think - As the playlists were original various CDs (OK I'm a luddite who has used a CD recorder to create various...

thanks everyone for your advice - will give Edinburgh a try. As mentioned the free miles are not that valuable but didn't know about the car comp - that would be worth having :)

Oh well, my decision to get the Tesla wasn't predicated on getting some free supercharger miles anyway. A bit annoyed by Tesla's customer service so might complain on principle.

My friend gave me a referral code. Just found out my referral code won't work - too late apparently should have provided it on order. But I ordered through zenith company scheme. Tesla said before they would do it later as zenith were on lockdown and everything was on hold. I've also had two...

Got my VIN now. just need the title / registration docs to activate my account. Presumably Zenith will provide those. Tesla confirmed that my M3 SR+ was on the silver ray :)

Hi all, as a newbie I will be getting my M3 SR+ on 25th June. Looking forward to it but was wondering about the music situation. I have an archaic iPod nano 3 which I naively was hoping just to plug into the USB and listen to music, like on my Nissan Leaf. It is windows formatted so I...

I just rang 01628 450660 and you have to select the option you want.
