I'm getting the same figures. Coming from an early 2020 SR+ I am getting a similar range to the EPA on my new car of 248 miles as I have the 19" wheels. My old car was pushed to achieve anything close to 190 miles and fully charged to 220. A drive to Manchester from Leicester and return left me...

Tesla do things differently from others with the guess o meter. The car always displays its EPA tested range when charged, that is pretty fixed. They have to sell the car using the ridiculous WLTP test results that were designed I'm sure by the manufacturers just to make cars look good. Just...

Had one for a while now. Lost it for a week then it or another returned. Delivery either on 9th March if collected or 11th March to my house. Prefer picking it up.

If you look at where the cameras are on the windscreen, they are in the place least likely to suffer poor vision as the air is moving fastest at the top and tends to be clear when I can't see! Dry wiping is another pi$$ take with constant wiping when its not required. Can't the supposed AI note...

This was Trafford yesterday, I arrived to it virtually full of just Teslas at 3:30pm but as I was leaving at 4:00pm we were descended on by dpd vans and a VW. At least the vans only took one bay and are probably evening users compared to the VW that took two. If Tesla are going to open SC's to...

I had a VIN and Reg number with a 6th March delivery to my address. Now no VIN but still have a Reg number and been messaged that the delivery is now the 11th March citing logistic issues. After messaging back that I'm happy to pick the car up, they have advised the 9th March at a (New)...

The problem with the Model 3 steering rack is that it is very quick and not much over 2 turns lock to lock hence very heavy when stationary. Old non power steering was far more turns lock to lock and indeed most are like that even now. My brothers Leaf steering required far more rotation when...

I have always wondered why the battery is designed to allow water in after being submerged as its so easy to ensure it doesn't. Quite simply, a narrow vent pipe could run up high enough so that any chilling of the battery from water immersion only draws air in from above a decent level. At the...

Quoting my own post, The ship my car is on is almost certainly Morning Carol which is currently passing Indonesia and ETA Southampton 1st March. Been given a 6th of March delivery.

I now have a VIN and ETA of 10th - 25th March. Can't see a Southampton ship fitting the date but G Poseidon heading to Zeebrugge may trans ship to the UK.

Direct line were £625 last year and wanted £1,030 this year. Haggling and minor changes plus adding a driver lowered it to £850 but very similar from LV which included European cover (not on DL) is £720. :)

I just completed the second filter change sourced from Amazon on my early 2020 SR+. What with that screw high up under the dash just waiting to fall into Never Never land under the carpet and the impossible space to slide in the filters not to mention knocking all the gunk off the old ones in to...

The range on the Tesla site is WLTP which is calculated in conditions that the car manufacturers love, the car shows US EPA which is a better calculation. As a Model 3 SR+ owner of four years (45,000 miles), all I can say is don't sweat about the miles shown on a fully charged car as your range...

My October order has a VIN at last. ETA now 10th - 25th March. Any idea which ship that is?

Hence my updated ETA is between 7th March and 24th April despite ordering in October. Must be an unusual spec I picked. So its on Morning Carol or the April delivery.
