I agree that it sounds a bit odd.. I haven’t seen the car myself and probably never will because it’s still at the body shop, but my friend says the damage is only visible when light shines obliquely across the surface so it wasn’t all that apparent when he collected it. But setting aside...

I’ve owned a M3P for almost 2 years with few issues. A couple of service calls, both of which were efficiently handled. I recommended the M3 to a friend who was replacing his Audi, he opted to buy a used M3P from Tesla with 8000 on the clock. Upon collecting it he noticed a few paint chips and...

+1 for useless auto wipers. My 15 year-old Land Rover LR3’s auto wipers work perfectly, I don’t remember ever actually having overridden the auto setting in 10 years of ownership, they always just do exactly what is required. My M3P wipers seem to go like the clappers for 10 minutes after a...

Recently got caught out when working nights in an unfamiliar place. I left the parking lot at 4am in minus zero deg C with 21 miles range showing and 14 miles to the nearest SC. Drove gently with no climate on, I could hardly see through the frosty screen. 5 miles away from the SC it was...

The wipers are the only real big disappointment with my M3P. I drove a 2005 Land Rover Discovery (LR3) for the past few years and the auto wipers worked so well I never noticed them. I’m constantly pressing the stalk button to override the Tesla’s auto system, it never seems to get it right...

I picked up my M3P in December. First new car I’ve bought. They told me to get there at 1.30pm which I did (btw I agree the signage is crap!) and on entry was told that I’d missed the group video induction session that shows you how to drive your car (it was at 1pm..) They asked if I wanted to...

My M3P has on three occasions done a full-on emergency stop by itself. The first time was when a cyclist veered across in front of me and the car’s reaction scared the life out of me and the kids in the back! (I didn’t even know this was a feature at the time..) and the other two occasions were...

Thanks mmca, I did ring around some smaller specialists yesterday, including some who say they specifically do EV and performance vehicles, but the £1900 with £2k excess was the best I got.

Sorry that sounded more like an insurance-related post than I intended... my reason for posting was to ask whether it’s possible to get the reg before paying the balance so I can make a decision on whether I want to go ahead.

I’m jealous of those here getting £320 quotes... I checked on a comparison site a few weeks ago to make sure insurance was generally affordable before placing an order for a P, cheapest was £1250 with Churchill. Got my email last week with date of 3 Dec, the original quote had run out so I had...
