I thought that free supercharger miles earned by using a referral link when purchasing your Tesla expired after 12 months? However, I bought my car early September 2020 and noticed today that the "Loot" box in the Android app no longer shows any mention of miles (or kWh) remaining. I can see...

I seem to recall that there were rumours that a fairly major software release was due and that Elon had tweeted that it would be "Hot". I thought the 22nd was mentioned. Anyone heard anything further?

A question for the technical experts: I know from experience that my Android phone will show that it is connected to my M3P from, very roughly, 7 or 8 metres away. I also know that I wouldn't be able to unlock the car with the phone until it's physically much closer than that. My question is...

I've had my M3P nearly three months. It's not been used very much in that time to be honest - only about 1,500 miles covered. In that time I don't seem to have mastered the correct, unhindered method of opening and starting the car with my OnePlus Android phone. Here's the usual sequence of...

Had a strange one today. Parked up the M3P at a Pod Point 7kW charger and connected up and started charging - all normal. Came back probably an hour later and opened up the charging screen and touched the "Stop charge" button on the screen. Absolutely no action. Repeatedly doing the same...

As the title, I'm debating whether to attempt applying a ceramic coat to my M3P, using DaveW's excellent guide. I'm going to ask what is probably a very dozy question. Do you apply the ceramic coat to the glass roof of the M3? I know the principle of ceramic coating is that the coating bonds...

I seem to have more and more of the following problem when first getting into my M3P: I gain access without issue, using my phone. But, I'm then unable to put the car into "gear" - it chimes at me and tells me to put the key card over the centre console. Usually, after a short period of this...

I've had my M3P for almost four weeks, and have put about 800 miles on the clock. I'm thinking about getting it ceramic coated before it gets much older. I'm on the Northamptonshire/Bedfordshire border, so can anyone recommend a good detailer in Northants or Beds? Also, what would you expect...

Well, I've been a Tesla owner for three weeks now, owning a Model 3 Performance since 8th September. For the first time since buying it, today I got into the car to be greeted by a black screen. Eventually I got it going, but is this a common occurrence? The car has been on version...

I'll apologise now for this being probably a very daft question! When I picked up my M3P I noticed that, along with the charging cable and 13A charging kit, it came with a pair of mudflaps. What, exactly, are you supposed to do with them? I presumed they were for fitting to the rear, as the...

I've had my M3P a week and a half now and, so far, haven't driven it after dark. Several of the previous cars I've owned have had an auto high beam function and I've not rated any of them as really usable! The problems have always been not dipping early enough, spurious "flashing" which...

I tried an experiment with my new M3P last night. I turned on Sentry mode at about 10pm last night and left it on through the night. Finally turned it off at about 8:30 this morning. In those 10.5 hours it had lost 9 miles of range (231 to 222). Does that sound about normal? I must admit...

Firstly, apologies if this is a daft question - I picked up my new M3P today, so very, very new to the Tesla world! I've scheduled charging to start tomorrow morning at 0200 (cheap rate electricity). I'm puzzled though by the charge current setting, which won't allow me to set more than 16A...

I'm due to be picking up my M3P on Tuesday from Birmingham and at admittedly a very late stage I've got a trade in quote from Tesla on my partner's BMW i3. I uploaded the photos they require yesterday morning (Friday) and am waiting for the final offer. Assuming they don't work Saturdays I'm...

I pick up my new M3P next week (hopefully!). Apart from Tesla's own supercharger network, what are the best charge networks to be equipped for when undertaking longer trips? I've got the Pod Point app, as my partner has had a BMW i3 for a couple of years. What else ought I to be looking at...

I've just placed my order for an inventory M3P and have only been offered Heathrow or Southampton for delivery. Do Tesla offer any flexibility in this, as, frankly, I don't really want to travel to either of those. I have a service centre nearby, in Milton Keynes. Would they possibly...

Anyone know how on earth Tesla arrive at the value for a trade-in vehicle? I got a valuation from them about a month or so ago for my 2018 VW Golf R, which at around £23k I thought was pretty reasonable. I'd indicated my interest was the Model 3. A few days ago, I asked for a new valuation...

Hi all, I'm new to Tesla and this forum. I'm looking at buying a 2015 model S P90D from Tesla's used inventory. Just a couple of questions for those who have a bit of experience. 1) Are used vehicles from Tesla generally sound? I know the warranty is good, but wondering about the cosmetic...
