    Thanks - some of this goes over my head but the advice on the good quality extension lead is v. valuable. Much appreciated!

    Charging help for France, pls

    Thanks everyone. It sounds like both would work. Would the Schuko adaptor to my Tesla 16A UMC be too much for a French home socket? Unfortunately, I left it too late to order the Tesla Schuko adaptor as it seems like that might take 2 weeks to get to me but could get another brand in a couple...

    Charging help for France, pls

    I'm not at all educated on electrical issues and was hoping someone could help? I've rented a home in France for two weeks and it is not near any charging stations. I was hoping to use a socket in the house to charge my 2019 Model 3. Should I just buy a 'normal' adaptor for my UK plug on my...

    South London MOT

    Many thanks to the Model 3 owner who broke in my local Halford's (Surrey) for my Model 3 MOT last week. Halford's knew just what to do - they had the jack pads, etc. I just disabled Pin to Drive, Sentry Mode, Walk-away Door Lock, etc. I was initially trepidatious but Halfords were great -...

    Tesla Paint Repair Kit effectiveness

    I tried the white PPSW on my Model 3. It is more grey than white. Pretty lousy match if you ask me - put on three coats. (Yes, I shook the bottle).

    Tesla added White and Red to their Paint Repair Kit!

    I have a white model 3 and bought the PPSW kit. I thought it didn't look right. The paint is a lot greyer than my white. no match at all . . .

    Headlight Beam Converter Kit

    Taking my UK Model 3 to France. I'm told I need a Headlamp beam converter kit to 'not dazzle' oncoming traffic. Anyone have any experience with these? Can the Model 3 be adjusted manually with the 'Adjust Headlights' option under Service. It says only a trained service technician should do...

    Thanks all. I just never realised that could be an issue.

    Brake pads fused to discs

    Don't know if anyone had this problem but it was a bugger. Model 3P purchased Aug. 19. Washed my car, put it in the garage, went on 10 days trip, got home, car would not move! Two tow trucks, multiple calls to Tesla (service center is a mile from my house but they wouldn't send mobile...

    Air intake filter surfaced

    Note to UK Model 3 owners - So weird but my Model 3 P which I got in August (UK version) has a different air intake. it doesn't have the pointy end - it's squared off so this product (which i bought) does not fit! It's squared off for the brake fluid reservoir. That's a tenner down the drain...

    FSD computer HW3 or HW2.5 tracking sheet

    I picked up my Model 3 Performance with FSD at Heathrow in mid-August. I did a codec check and came up with 264 so was really pissed that I didn't have hardware 3.0. (no - I didn't go through the pain of removing panels to check the computer) Now, with 2019.36.2.1 installed yesterday, I see...

    BMW F80 M3 v Model 3 Performance--From Someone that Owns Both

    13962"] I've put a few miles now on my new-to-me 2016 F80 BMW M3, including a 400 mile trip, and have had my Model 3 for nearly a year--so I thought I'd write down some thoughts. The Cars: 2016 BMW M3 6M, M Adaptive suspension, 425 hp 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance dual motor, 475ish hp...
