To be fair to Tesla, the Model 3 LR only declares a range of 306 miles when fully charged (not 348 miles WLTP) so 273 miles travelled is much closer to what they expect. They also advise not to heat the cabin but to heat the seats instead, which is much more efficient. In the video they fully...

I had a bit more torque than a 335i and I expect a heavier right foot ;)

...with an internet connection... so that somebody can monitor your usage and tax you in the future presumably!

A Commando socket is nothing more than a cheap plastic caravan hook-up and can be bought for £25-30. It runs at 32A, 7.4kw so needs installing as though you’re installing an electric shower (10mm twin and earth and it’s own switch in your fuse board). My sparky mate connected my wiring in...

I'm just about to hit 10k miles in my Model 3, so thought I'd share my experience and thoughts. I picked up a Model 3 Long Range on 21st August and have used it predominantly traveling to and from work (200 mile round trip) but have also taken it on one or two longer trips. Is it about to fall...

Get the Long Range. I have a 200 mile round trip commute, have done 9.6k miles since Aug 21st and have never once s*** the bed. Simples.

I believe it schedules the battery to finish charging just before you leave so it is warm as Jason suggests. When set to scheduled departure I’ve noticed it charges immediately upon leaving the car, pauses during the night, then resumes an hour or so prior to departure.

I've now received a VIN in the SC this morning

Missing Details: AP No Tow Order#: 169 Finance Y Trade N VIN No No other news.

Reserved a car in Mar-16, Ordered a car as soon as a I could in May-19, Order number 01##. Still not had a VIN allocated... oh well, making the most of the banter with the BP check-out guy while it lasts. (ordered a LR/Black/B&W/18"/no FSD - delivery location Leeds)

I've just ordered a 32A Commando socket from Tool Station (£29), a UMC2 / 32A Commando Adapter from the USA (£130 inc. shipping and taxes) and my sparky mate will fit it all (£50 and a few beers). Then if I decide to purchase a "proper" charger in the future, at least I will have a 32A external...

I'm order #0169 with a collection destination of Leeds. Not heard a sausage since approved for Finance in May. Not heard of anybody on this forum collecting a Model 3 in the North of England... please prove me wrong!
