Good solar performance last week. 0.38kWh grid import plus £5 charging the car overnight on Octopus 😀

Doesn't say that in M3 UK manual

Interesting. I'll check that out. I drive the car solo quite a lot and haven't noticed the icon disappearing before. Logged a service request too so let's see if Tesla confirm. Thanks

Yes, just the icon. Elon's not got me trialling an ejector seat yet.....

I have the front seat heaters loaded on the bottom status bar. Today, the passenger one has vanished! Tried a reboot twice but no better. Now at start of journey it's there, then it disappears part way through. Anyone else got this? It's a Dec 22 M3 running 2022.44.30

I had a 2020 M3 with exact same fault. Mobile service changed both on my drive, when they eventually had them in stock. I was concerned about safety since all I'd done was describe the fault, but they said they knew exactly what it was and it was safe to drive. Guess they were changing a lot...

I changed my leased 2020 M3 for a 2022/3 M3 on 5th December. Both lease cars. The lease company have to add/remove the cars that show in your app. My new car was added after about 2 days, but my old car is still in there 2 weeks after giving it back. I'm having to chase the lease company as...

My 2020 M3 was done by mobile service. Technician replaced both control arms (had to wait about a month for parts) and it took him about 1 hour

I confirm the same on my replacement M3, delivered yesterday. Through Zenith lease, ordered in Feb, no mention before delivery of USS or not

I was in a queue today for account/app support and did the call back option. Got a call about 15 minutes later and was put through to a real live person who supported the issue. Pleasantly surprised

Just realised - removal of USS is actually a genius move by Elon to get drivers to reverse park, which is far safer for pedestrians etc and widely adopted by safety-conscious companies in the UK. Only time I "front park" is at a supermarket, so I can get the shopping in the boot 😃

About charge point. I assume this was your first try at charging with it? If the installers put the CT clamp on the wrong cable, it does exactly as you say. If it's a Pod Point, call their customer service and they will remotely diagnose the issue and talk you through moving the CT clamp if...

More impressed with your sea view tbh!!!

Etose are good prices. I got 14 panels, 5kW hybrid inverter, 9.5kW Givenergy battery and Eddi for £12k from local installer. Order placed in July, panels fitted September, still waiting for battery and Eddi. Givenergy hopelessly behind on orders and sending out batteries WITHOUT the cables...

I'm getting a replacement M3 lease car on 5 December. Please be aware that the car will never appear in your Tesla ACCOUNT because you don't own it, but it will appear in the APP and you will also be able to purchase premium connectivity, etc through the app

I got a lease M3 in 2020 and it was a case of collecting from Tesla (although some colleagues got car's delivered). This time, I have a delivery to me. In both cases however, the lease company have known nothing about deliveries, it's all done direct with the driver. Both times I've had no...

I'd forget your EDD. My EDD on the lease company portal was always mid November, then went to 4 November a couple of weeks ago. Tesla texts now confirm delivery on 5 Dec - that's what matters. Never had a sniff of a VIN and I'm not really bothered.......

Yes, I'd read the manual online before I went to get the car. Also "touchless collection" in 2020 meant the Tesla lady ripping off the edge of the plastic packet that the key cards were in and holding it at arm's length, for me to reach in and take them out. Followed by "the car's over there...

Th E new car needs to calibrate it's sensors and cameras before any of the TACC or Autosteer can be used. Takes about 20 minutes of driving. When I got my first M3, bearing in mind I'd never driven one before (2020 and COVID prevented test drives), I just took the first drive home getting...

I'm getting an M3 lease car and Tesla chat said two Mondays ago that I'd been allocated and would get a txt soon. Didn't get anything until this Wednesday when I got a txt from Tesla confirming delivery on 5 December. This is for a lease order placed in February. It will happen

Personally, I'm taking EVERYTHING to do with my new M3 with a huge pinch! I ordered an M3 RWD white/black interior, aero wheels (so everything completely standard) in February through Zenith (company lease). From day 1 Zenith estimated delivery as mid November but gave me monthly updates until...

I'm with Zenith. They tell me they know nothing about Tesla ordering because Tesla do it all directly with the driver. Zenith stopped updating me in September so I went on chat with Tesla. They have allocated me a car, but I have to wait for a txt from them. My order was placed in Feb. I'd...

Well, after getting sick of waiting for a Zenith lease ordered M3 RWD white, black interior, standard wheels - order placed mid Feb - I tried Tesla chat. Eventually they found my order (I didn't have the RN No??) And confirmed a car has been allocated and I'll be contacted in due course. She...

My current lease ended in June! I'm conflicted really - want the new M3, but quite happy to be driving my current 2020 M3 at a much lower cost compared to the new one. Lease company just leave us in current vehicle and existing rate until new one arrives. I ordered standard M3 RWD in mid Feb

If it's Zenith, that's pointless. They find out about car AFTER Tesla text the prospective driver

I have a lease order placed in Feb for the bog standard white M3 RWD with standard wheels. No sign of anything from Tesla yet. Lease company say mid November, but they only get notification after Tesla text me with a match/delivery date

I'm waiting on a Gen 2 Givenergy 9.5kWh battery, ordered in June/July for £5,500 they are coming through now, but NOT being supplied with the necessary specific cables! I think your price is a bit high, though demand has probably increased since I ordered.

Anyone else had their phone key suddenly stop opening the car? Pretty embarrassing when everyone's waiting to get in... M3 on 28.2 software and latest Android app version. Lease car due to be replaced in November so either it's being spiteful or at 2 years old, starting to show signs of age.....

Agreed. Back in june the app was changed so that lease drivers could subscribe to premium connectivity and the free provision was withdrawn

Looking at how this update is rolling out and the decline of .36.5 I assume I and others still on ,28.2 will eventually just skip to the ,40 version - unless something else has been released by then....... Tesla nearly updating software as quickly as the UK changes Prime Minister 😃

I also ordered in February. Lease company were giving monthly updates but nothing yet this month. Just checked their online portal and it states EDD of 4 November and status is "awaiting delivery to dealer". Tesla contact us directly once vehicle is matched, not via lease company.

I ordered a M3 salary sacrifice company car in February. Zenith were sending monthly updates with EDD of "mid November". Now even those updates have dried up......

Looking at TeslaFi, I'm assuming that .36.2 rollout has been halted and .36.4 will overtake it. Seemed to peak at 35% of fleet with not many M3 UK models

Isn't your Go a fixed tariff? Mine's fixed till August 2023 and still showing as 7.5p

Just as a bit of light relief, I've been on 28.1 since last weekend and phantom braking today was a nightmare! Worst I've ever had... I only ever use TACC (don't trust AP) and only use TACC on motorways and dual carriageways. I was getting braking due to car's in lay-bys on sweeping right...

Found out last night that auto high beam doesn't work below 15 mph. Great fun when crawling along my friend's half mile rough farm track back to the main road...... Needless to say, this was WITHOUT autopilot

My install has initially been the panels only because batteries and Eddi can't be sourced. My company have the Givenergy 9.5 battery on order so hopefully soon... Quite gutting today to see loads of my generated energy flowing to the grid for free......☹️

On the alternative routes description, it says traffic is only shown with premium connectivity. Is Tesla saying that any navigation and dynamic re-routing only happens with premium connectivity, or do us tight gits who won't pay an additional £10 a month on a £43k car have to just sit in traffic...

Mine started downloading 24.6 four hours ago and won't go past 50%. Tried a re-boot, no difference. Worst download experience since I got the car in June 2020. Anyone got any ideas?

Update, company upgraded the 3.5kW inverter to the Givenergy 5.0 foc 😀

I have the pod point and I just schedule the Model 3 to start charging at 00:30 (start of Octopus Go) and let it run. Charge limits set at 80% and I rarely go lower than 40% so car charges within the Go off-peak window

In the UK, if your monthly subscription to premium connectivity ends, you lose this feature

5.5k battery plus inverter. Don't have battery only cost

That'll be the "holiday update" then.....

I've gone for 14 Trina 390 panels, 9.5kWh Givenergy battery, 3kW inverter, Eddi solar divert - total of £12,250 including ALL required to fit, DNO, scaffold, etc. Ordered on 15 July and have a 6-8 week lead time. North Derbyshire/South Yorkshire area.

It shouldn't be up to users to find workarounds when Tesla have degraded the car's functionality via one of their updates! They have closed my service request now, but I have asked them to prioritise the firmware update to rectify this

I have ranger visit booked for alarm. They are asking loads of questions to fault diagnose rather than fob me off with the "known issue" text. Opening car with key card doesn't set alarm off. 2020 SR+

I've requested a service appointment specifically for this problem. I also asked them to send my car the bug fix update. Funnily enough, I've heard nothing yet

I'm getting a PV & battery installation soon. Regulators demand payback calculations based on a 7% year on year increase in electricity costs. BBC news this morning quoted a 54% rise so far this year, before the autumn price cap increase. My install comes just as I go from current...

Yes you are right about the alarm pips. I got them again this morning. I can't believe Tesla don't error test software before release....... Hang on, I've had the car over 2 years - I AM A BELIEVER!!
