Hi all, I've been trailing my boat around for the 4 years that I've had my m3p- quite happily, but this year I'm planning many more trips up and down the country. This made me wonder, is it worth a little more thought on the efficiency side? What can be done to a skimpy combi boat trailer to...

Fiat seem to be doing silly offers on pre-reg e500's, so given we had agreed it was time to replace the 10 y/o swift we decided to go and try one. Honestly didn't expect it to meet the practicality requirements, but impressively it absorbed 4 of us well. I could easily sit behind my wife (if...

Has the model 3 boot varied over the years or into the Highland facelift? I was browsing reviews and older reviews list 425l, and newer reviews and the manual list it as 594l! Which if its right and not a reporting anomaly (maybe the 425 doesn't include the under trunk?) is a massive 40%...

Since our lovely government's u turn on their green policies last night, has anyone else noticed an increase in the Tesla FUD stories again? Mostly ridiculous fire stories accompanied by pictures of a fire fighter near a Tesla, or a car in a container full of ice and water (admittedly making...

All, I'm just back from spending 2 weeks in Iceland with a Model Y rental from Hertz and wanted to record a few thoughts in case they are useful to others. We spent a couple of weeks up there, 1 week doing a fair number of miles based from within the 'golden circle', and another in and around...

Hi all, first foray out side the UK sub forum so sorry if this has been covered already - just point me in the right direction! I have a 2019 p- (no pup, with tow bar!) in the UK. Fremont made, it's one of the really early RHD deliveries, and I love it. But the suspension was pants, floaty...

anyone got a handy reference for debunking this junk from Facebook? Instinct says its rubbish and a complete strawman, but I don't know which particular bits are wrong in which ways?

Given the weather this week I have once again been trying to persuade myself to get some all season tyres. look stunning, but it waits until the last 30 seconds of the review to point out they aren't available in the UK :(. Are there any other UHP all seasons out there that are worth looking...

I used to store a few emergency disposable contacts (edit - lenses!) in the tray in the elbow rest. I had case to use them a couple of weeks ago but found that micro specks of the flocking had come off and coated the case of each contact. Luckily I noticed as I was about to try and put the...

Old-work have presented me with a Knockhill voucher. I'm considering doing an own car with instructor style experience. How bad an idea would this be in a P- (all be it with MPP coilovers and a set of eibach ARB's)? Are the stock brakes and 18"s OK for a bit of fun? No record attempts or...

We use the UMC to charge at both set of parents, and despite a couple of years of hinting, nether have installed a 16a commando for me. They both have well wired double sockets on ring mains which work fine at 10A, but I'd like to go faster. So the question: Where on the scale of a bit...

So yesterday I had planned one of those trips that is near the end of what a model 3 likes to do. Edinburgh to the Cumbria and back for the day. The best charging pattern I have worked out is leave Edinburgh at 100%, get to the place for the day, then charge on the way north at the dreaded...

I wonder if the 'small' tesla is waiting for big volumes of the 4680 battery as a key enabler of a 'City' car? A couple of things make me think this, first and most simply, structural pack and castings will be important for keeping the BOM down, therefore keeping the cost down. More...

Hi all, there is loads of info out there on summer tyres in the winter, and how summer, all season and winter's perform in various autumn through to Scandinavian conditions. All pretty predictable tbh. But how are all season in the summer? What about on spirited drive - are they almost as...

Thought experiment time. What ICE would you buy to preserve as peak ICE? Something to have, care for, drive occasionally using £20/L fuel once a quarter and show to future generations? For me, Jag F-Type. Sooo love those, most beautiful car ever produced.

Well, I'm doomed to never get a shot of FSD in the far future that's it's available here... This was a gentle drive home, A road, town and duel carriage way. Small roundabouts, taken sensibly, kill the sideways measure, regen maxes the stopping allowance. The 0.8 acceleration was my fault.

Hi all, Has anyone used the charge place scotland network since it was handed over to the new people? I've a hell of a drive tomorrow - Edinburgh to dundreggan on the north of Loch Ness, and back. I should be fine to get up and back to FT William on a full charge (big battery), but any fun on...

Hi all, I wondered if a way to override the speed sign detection has been found yet? We drove up the A9 last week, where AutoPilot was previously pretty decent, but since the speed sign recognition it's turned into a complete pain. It picks up these at the end of each duel carriageway...

Just wondering if anyone else ever had this? Car has been sat for a few days, and I've not used the dipped headlights for a couple of weeks. When I went out this eve they were not pointing where they used to? A quick re calibration in the service menu once I was stopped has sorted it, but...

Tongue in cheek 'not for me' question... Sis has just picked up a Corsa-e, which I look forward to seeing eventually. However it doesn't come with a granny charger of any kind! When they are eventually allowed to visit the other parts of the family, they will absolutely need one if they take...

For anyone that has been waiting for it, EAP is back. In the upgrades menu in the app (or website presumably), £3400 for: Nav on Auto pilot Auto lane change Auto park Summon The first 2 here are, I have to admit, tempting me. Really I'd probably want to know more about how FSD is going to...

Many moons ago now @U_S_D got in touch to say he was selling his car, and separately his full suspension kit that he'd had on it. Going back in my history I've had some complaints about the Americanisms of the 3's suspension setup, so after thinking for a bit, picked up the set from him on an...

Drove up north today and couldn't use AP most the time as it was picking up, and limiting at this: Had to actually drive 100 more of my miles than expected today, or do them at 55 rather than 60(ish) :-( Wish there was a way to submit problems like this through an interface. Would happily...

Just had this through HL about the shares - thought people might think it funny :-) Course, the shares are already above this, so I assume it's just someone having a laugh.

Is there a magic invocation to make this work? I just spent an hour or so adding folder.jpg's to my reasonably well organised SSD, and nothing is showing up. Before I hit the roll of the dice on 3 year old advice on Google, is there any current advice on how to present album art so it's...

As mentioned on a few threads, I've been using a 'temporary' 16A connection + UMC to charge my M3 for almost a year now. This has primarily been because of some building works which were expected to start, then did start, then got stopped by Covid and are now nearing completion. As this...

Does the current model Y in the US have a similar wiring loom the the 3? Or is that possibly one of the upgrades slides to my Elon in this lot of tweets? Elon Musk: Tesla German-built Model Y is going to be 'a revolution in auto body engineering' - Electrek We saw a patent a year+ ago, I...

How Well Does a Tesla Model 3 Work For a Long Trip? This came up in my news feed and normally car and driver is only middlingly bad, but this is really bad. Presumably being paid to get it wrong, as an LR should be able to do his trip in 2 stops for a total of an hour charging, and obviously...

Do you use voice commands? I was just thinking about it in another thread and realised that outside of searching hopefully for music sometimes, I don't use any of them. But I also don't use voice assistants at home either. So is it just me? I thought I would ask.

Moderator comment - thread merged with "Driver fined for using Tesla touchscreen wiper controls" Don't know how many saw this? German Court Suspends Driver For Adjusting Wiper Speed In Tesla Model 3 It did I have to say get me thinking. Its a difficult balance, and I'm not sure who is right...

As mentioned in a couple of other threads, the stock AWD suspension a) makes some passengers a bit travel sick sometimes and b) really isn't equal to p- speeds. There are a lot of threads (some stickied) about moving towards track setups, but these all seem to be relative to the P. What I...

For various reasons I've ended up with my mothers Audi TTS to look after during lockdown. Now, I've never really wanted a TT, but an Audi -S spec 3 or 4 was definitely on the spreadsheets when I chose my Model 3. So if I was was going to choose a TT, it would have been this one, probably. The...

Given that there seems to be a huge sale on stocks just now, is there an easy way to buy a share or 2 in Tesla from the UK? Any decent platforms etc? What costs should a small scale investor expect? Don't worry, not going to be throwing around loads of cash that should be in a fund etc, just...

Does this mean both Edinburgh SC's are bust? I was in last week and couldn't get a charge off one of the pair, bit the other was fine. Maybe they are both offline now?

So I've been sticking it out on 40.2.1, which was the first with 'deep rain' (make sure to pause then use your special voice for that!) as the 50's don't offer much in the UK and this working really well. Today I did my first long drive in a while - 6 hours in total - in mixed weathers, across...

Happy Xmas all! After carefully not buying anything from AO over the last couple of months to leave easy Xmas options for the family, they all went and found non car related stuff for me. So now I finally get to put that multi item order in ;-) Does anyone know if AO do an after Xmas/Jan sale...

Just been out on A roads for the first time in a bit and was using AP. It seemed to be changing between speed limits now without having to dis- and re-engage? No idea when this started, but I'm on 40.1 now.

Since I've had the car there has been an incessant squeak from the phone charger drawer when driving. The accepted solution seems to be to apply some foam, or padding or felt here: My gut told me this was not addressing the root problem tho. Pulling the tray up as far as it can go lets you...

Hi all, Just had my '3 back from tesla for its second visit to look at the wheel alignment. on delivery it was very dead around the mid point and the steering wheel wasn't centered. Got it back and the wheel was centered and the steering felt much more responsive, but something still wasn't...

Does anyone know how to put a deposit for a Y down via a referral? My referral link only gives X,S and 3 options?

Not sure if this is specific to my one plus or more general for the latest Android. I was having real problems with using my phone as the master key for keyless entry, often left stranded yanking at the door handle like some Muppet. Kept finding I would have to at least manually wake my phone...

Can anyone confirm that -every- supercharger has at least a couple of CSS chargers? Suddenly paranoid that some haven't been updated and I can't find any evidence either way! This is being brought on by a better rout planner's tesla CSS setting, but is this just destination chargers?

Weird question - do you log into Spotify as you, using an account you have and 'premium connectivity' means allowed to do this. Or, does the car have its own Spotify account in some way and I (with out an account/subscription) can just use it? Sorry, not really a streaming person, prefer...

It's taken a while, but over the last week around Edinburgh I've noticed that I've had more days out n about where I see a 3 than not. And not a single day without seeing multiple BEV's of some sort. This feels important and hopefully the start of a turning point. Is it happening in other...

So, completely get that Tesla are to some extent learning which features are important, which can be replicated in software and which people can do with out. But which little things are people worried or suspect that they are used to that aren't going to be on an M3? This isn't Tesla bashing...

I really wish companies with long hold times would take some time to increase the usability of their hold system. In order of benefit: If its going to be answered in the order it was received, then what is wrong with a call back system please? If the average answer time is going to be upwards...

Hi all, I've an M3 on order in the UK, and would like to ask about under car clearance. I know the official answer is 5.5 inches (14cm), but wanted to ask if anyone has checked this? Is it a 'biggest speed bump you can get over with 4 adults and a load in the trunk, plus error margin' or it...

Hi all, I believe the roof bars in the US are whisper bars? Given I already have a set, specifically so they can be easily used on any car my family or I have, any idea where to get parts/numbers for to get the foot set for the M3? Last time I needed to to set them up for a new car, it was...
