Or doesn’t as the case may be.

Agreed. It's hard because the camera isn't focused on the screen so cannot see the rain clearly as it's primary function is to look beyond. Something we can't do with our eyes because once there is a lot of water on the screen we just focus on it and cannot see beyond.

The regulation is based on the sale of chargers, not their installation. Therefore you can purchase a secondhand 'dumb' charger and have an electrician install it without issue. Guidance specifically states it does not apply to chargers that are: sold by individuals outside of the purposes of...

Not a Gen 3 as it contains built-in DC detection and a Type A + 6 mA DC RCD. But you still require a means of PEN fault detection and isolation.

Different here in the UK.

Worth making sure it isn’t just a faulty breaker before you go to the expense of replacing the EVSE.

8 years / 100k miles for SR+/RWD, 8 years / 120k miles for LR/P

It’s very difficult because insurance is bundled in which is a postcode lottery plus occupation, mileage, business mileage, points on license etc that could alter the monthly cost by £150 between people. Then is a home charger included, does your company include early termination protection...

I wonder if Tesla has reached critical mass in the UK to roll their own and not use a third party.

You really need to adopt that holding position to use the indicators so it makes sense they have made it most comfortable in that position.

For the frequent threads I'm reading it still works fine (say anything within the last week). Possibly for some of the less frequent ones it just reverts to the OP - possibly the time to remember your position has been reduced?

Tesla’s finance is expensive at the moment and I expect their interest rate to drop once initial demand is over. Whether your lease company uses Tesla finance or not I don’t know - worth comparing against the MY as the M3 should be cheaper just based on the cash purchase price.

MY or M3? If M3 then I'd wait a month or two when prices should soften.

The comparisons and normally good but there have been many technical inaccuracies in their videos. They, as with many YouTube videos, seem to be twice as long as they need to be to cover the topic and draw a conclusion.

and some alcantara on the door cards. If you were to purchase after 1/4/25 then there would be a £12k difference over 6 years because of the expensive car supplement tax that the LR will attract.

They are still sold in the UK but only LHD ones so sales numbers are very low. I believe it is illegal to sell new LHD vehicles in Australia (at least in some territories) so Tesla doesn't offer them for sale there.

It was an old thread, when you replied it goes to the top of the forum and someone noticed it and started offering the OP advice that is no longer needed as the issue was already resolved months ago. Not your fault, just other people not noticing the dates involved. Sadly WRT the mirror motor...

Q3/4 2021 M3 LR

I've received mine this week - colour match isn't great.

Saving money in one area allows for it to be spent in others, where it was probably felt it would generate more appeal. Kids drive parents into purchasing Teslas - rear screen, cool lighting and fart sounds appeal.

They aren't going to outright say they removed them for cost saving are they? Reduce top speed of the M3 so they can put on cheaper speed rated tyres is another example.

Ultra Red and Multi Coat Red really don't look much different based on the pic with the MY next to your M3.

You don't have to press the accelerator down all the way ;)

I can see it getting worse based on the pricing of the new models - they just aren't worth what they are asking for and risk missing their sales forecasts.

Regulation I believe. Here are the stats for my old Lexus in the European repair manual - if it actually reads the correct speed it cluster should be replaced as faulty as by design it should read over: But if you consult the US version of the manual it has different values which are lower...

The allowed tolerance is different in the US and can read under so it is more common for them to be accurate. But even tyre wear will vary the displayed speed by 1 or 2 mph if speed is derived from the wheels (I.e. not gps). Mine seems to read about 1 mph over at 40 mph but is certainly the...

You might not see money disappearing from your account each month but you still have to save for your next vehicle - and if it is depreciating faster than you initially thought then you have to save extra.

You normally have the option to purchase at the end of the lease, but that may depend on the company. Certainly with Leaseplan and Octopus you can.

Why? If you have the option to save yourself 40% tax on car payments, insurance, tyres etc then it makes sense to do so. The MY was costing him well over £1k per month in depreciation and insurance, but now has cut that in half and has £30k to earn some money through investment.

There hasn’t been a MY SR+ and until this month all grades had the same audio equipment. Now the MIA ones have two audio specs, similar to how it has been historically with the M3...

All MYs supplied to the UK have bluetooth TPMS sensors so they should work.

Yes I believe so.

What about high beam? The auto beam system is good enough these days but if you are in manual mode how long to you have to press the button for it to register, rather than just being a flash? As you pass a car and are plunged into darkness, how quickly can you turn back on the high beams...

No sub and less speakers. This is the spec on the Tesla UK website for the MY RWD: and on the US website:

In the US, Tesla has very recently downgraded the audio system in the RWD. To date the MIC vehicles are unaffected and have the same system as the LR/Performance.

Will the dirt just wipe off the sticker? There are two designs used in 2021, are the indicators very small or large or do you have one or two reversing lights? https://teslanorth.com/2021/11/23/tesla-model-3-in-europe-gets-new-tail-lights-pics/

They are the largest tyre distributor in the UK so if they haven't got them almost certainly no one will unless you find a retailer than is holding stock (unlikely). Might be worth phoning their retail outlet in er Micheldever just to see if they can get them.

Agreed, but most of that is accounted for in the 384wh/mi figure. There is something else going on which I'd assume is via the preheating schedule if the car isn't being kept awake for some reason. Worth manually heating the cabin for only 5 to 10 mins before you depart rather than 30 mins.

Yeah, already discussed in a couple of threads. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/uk-2024-2.319886/

I probably would too but the fact remains that some people won't be comfortable without a manufacturer approved warranty option so they will look elsewhere. Less potential buyers will negatively impact prices.

Except now in the UK there is no official extended warranty available which will further devalue them once they hit 4 years old.

I agree but that isn't really what Tesla has done. The M3LR has always been around £50k and still is - it isn't more affordable. What they did do was take advantage during the period of demand being greater than supply and put up the price during 2022 through a series of increases and then just...

It's not just the Highland revision, the RWD with 18" wheels hasn't been fitted with Pilot Sport 4 for over a year now in the UK. I guess the question is, do you need Ultra high performance tyres for the way you use your car?

List price hasn't changed in the UK, just finance interest rate.

a proper 4 wheel alignment check

You would waste €2941 🤣

Seems to only be for the UK, you can get quotes for all the other countries :(

Tesla only official test with the 19" wheels so they have to quote that number and just give you guidance for the different wheel sizes. I don't really understand why they wouldn't go with the most efficient option. Either way you won't get near those figures.
