    Additional type 2 cable - good price?

    Yup, depending on length you'll be looking to pay between £100 and £200 for a decent quality cable. I've had a good experience with evonestopshop and evcables.

    Collected your M3 and have reserved one since Day 1

    Of more relevance is the spec ordered and how that matches what Tesla decided to build.

    Collected your M3 and have reserved one since Day 1

    Not a day 1 reserver (because I was on holiday), but a first weeker and first day orderer (timeline in sig).

    Thoughts on Sentry Mode

    I was, but it was using too much battery and being triggered over 70 times a day by people walking or driving past, so am only going to use it when parked in sketchy areas. It also didn't overwrite.

    Model 3 - Open charge port door when car is locked.

    My house. I might park up at night, but want to charge from the solar in the daytime, so won't plug in until later (my cables cross a pavement).

    Give ONE reason why you purchased a Tesla

    Model 3 LR AWD (details in sig). To give me back my freedom after 3 and a half years with my Leaf. I can now do everything I used to do in my Prius, including two week camping holidays (with the kitchen sink). The Leaf was great for 95% of my driving, but the limited range did stop me from...

    What's the process for paint / alignment defect correction?

    My journey was well over 100 miles, but I spotted the defects and made the appointment before then (and was never told a 100 mile limit, they did mention the 7 day/1,000 mile limit). If they do say that you only have 100 miles to report the issue then make sure you conduct a thorough inspection...

    What's the process for paint / alignment defect correction?

    Maybe there aren't that many people with defects. I've posted elsewhere about my experience, but can repeat it here. There were a couple of light scratches and one heavy scratch noted at delivery (that they had tried and failed to fix because they weren't fully set up) and immediately booked in...

    Model 3 type 2 cable length

    Are you a creeper?

    First week I had my first automatic it crept into the back of another car at a roundabout as I wasn't expecting it to keep moving after I've stopped. I turn creep off when I have the option so I don't have to remember which car I'm in and whether it is going to keep moving after I've brought it...

    The M3 Photo Thread

    Mine is 4m, which is alas 1m too short. I did ask them to change it but they said 4m was standard (I was always intending to buy a longer one anyway as I can't always park right outside my house).

    Delivery Location - not local?

    There wasn't even a destination charger last week (day 1 of deliveries). Hopwood services superchargers are less than 10 miles away (and give a chance for autopilot to configure).

    Delivery Location - not local?

    Birmingham can only handle a very limited number of deliveries a day. If they are already fully booked then this may be why it is not being shown as an option.

    Really? The Digbeth location is on the High Street, B12 0JU, but Summer Hill Road is B1 3RB down in the jewellery quarter rather than the city centre.

    Does anyone know where the Summer Hill location is? My delivery email says it will be Summer Hill but the link doesn't work and they still only list Digbeth on the website (google hasn't helped).

    LR AWD... it's back? (and cheaper?)

    Ah yes, they have reduced the base price but added the paint cost and taken away my pre-price increase FSD price. This makes my total higher than before, so they will be getting a call tomorrow to at least reinstate the FSD price I was guaranteed by ordering early. I have made no changes to the...

    Also had the text, it will be interesting to see if I now get charged for previously free paint and whether or not I maintain my May FSD pricing.

    latest (July) Tesla price changes

    If you have a early order black LR AWD with FSD, black interior and 18" wheels the new price drop is cancelled out by the black paint cost and FSD uplift. The 'base price' shown on the website is with the £3,500 taken off, so you need to add it back to compare to your order agreement.

    LR AWD... it's back? (and cheaper?)

    Running the numbers on my current spec and it would be £90 more with the new pricing, but that's due to black paint now being £750 instead of free and the £900 uplift in FSD pricing. Only way to get a lower price would be to change spec (and lose place in queue). Before the government grant the...

    LR AWD vs P3D-

    I'm not interested in increased performance, I just want maximum range and minimum insurance cost. I'm planning on keeping the car a long time so resale value isn't a factor either. I can spend that extra money on other things.

    London Gateway Services ..32 Stalls

    Maybe we need a 'super' designation. I figure for those journeys that I need to top up en route back to full I'm going to want/need at least a 40 minute stop to mentally recharge. You're looking at stopping after 250 miles of solid driving. That's a good 3 hours+. That's about the length of...
