    Charging help for France, pls

    Thanks - some of this goes over my head but the advice on the good quality extension lead is v. valuable. Much appreciated!

    Charging help for France, pls

    Thanks everyone. It sounds like both would work. Would the Schuko adaptor to my Tesla 16A UMC be too much for a French home socket? Unfortunately, I left it too late to order the Tesla Schuko adaptor as it seems like that might take 2 weeks to get to me but could get another brand in a couple...

    Charging help for France, pls

    I'm not at all educated on electrical issues and was hoping someone could help? I've rented a home in France for two weeks and it is not near any charging stations. I was hoping to use a socket in the house to charge my 2019 Model 3. Should I just buy a 'normal' adaptor for my UK plug on my...

    South London MOT

    Many thanks to the Model 3 owner who broke in my local Halford's (Surrey) for my Model 3 MOT last week. Halford's knew just what to do - they had the jack pads, etc. I just disabled Pin to Drive, Sentry Mode, Walk-away Door Lock, etc. I was initially trepidatious but Halfords were great -...

    Tesla Paint Repair Kit effectiveness

    I tried the white PPSW on my Model 3. It is more grey than white. Pretty lousy match if you ask me - put on three coats. (Yes, I shook the bottle).

    Tesla added White and Red to their Paint Repair Kit!

    I have a white model 3 and bought the PPSW kit. I thought it didn't look right. The paint is a lot greyer than my white. no match at all . . .

    Headlight Beam Converter Kit

    Taking my UK Model 3 to France. I'm told I need a Headlamp beam converter kit to 'not dazzle' oncoming traffic. Anyone have any experience with these? Can the Model 3 be adjusted manually with the 'Adjust Headlights' option under Service. It says only a trained service technician should do...

    Thanks all. I just never realised that could be an issue.

    Brake pads fused to discs

    Don't know if anyone had this problem but it was a bugger. Model 3P purchased Aug. 19. Washed my car, put it in the garage, went on 10 days trip, got home, car would not move! Two tow trucks, multiple calls to Tesla (service center is a mile from my house but they wouldn't send mobile...

    Air intake filter surfaced

    Note to UK Model 3 owners - So weird but my Model 3 P which I got in August (UK version) has a different air intake. it doesn't have the pointy end - it's squared off so this product (which i bought) does not fit! It's squared off for the brake fluid reservoir. That's a tenner down the drain...

    FSD computer HW3 or HW2.5 tracking sheet

    I picked up my Model 3 Performance with FSD at Heathrow in mid-August. I did a codec check and came up with 264 so was really pissed that I didn't have hardware 3.0. (no - I didn't go through the pain of removing panels to check the computer) Now, with 2019.36.2.1 installed yesterday, I see...

    BMW F80 M3 v Model 3 Performance--From Someone that Owns Both

    13962"] I've put a few miles now on my new-to-me 2016 F80 BMW M3, including a 400 mile trip, and have had my Model 3 for nearly a year--so I thought I'd write down some thoughts. The Cars: 2016 BMW M3 6M, M Adaptive suspension, 425 hp 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance dual motor, 475ish hp...

    Are RHD front mats identical to LHD? Can't you just swap them left to right?

    RHD - Floor Mats

    Are LHD floor mats compatible with RHD? It sort of looks like you can just swap left and right front mats. Can someone confirm this? Rear mats should be identical, yes?

    Yeah! RHD Model 3 is available.

    UK FSD

    I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill but I ordered FSD on my Model 3 before 10 May to get the £1000 price reduction promised me in Tesla's email to all reservation holders on 1 May. Now, I'm a little annoyed that it's only a £900 difference and Tesla is unwilling to reduce my order...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Also, I guess I should add that the UK now only offers two models SR+ and Performance (essentially AWD LR with Performance acceleration and top speed). You can get the 'Performance' model without the Performance package (£48,590) and if you want spoiler, brakes, pedals, TM, etc. it's an extra...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Ordered White on white Performance Model in the UK on 2 May. Today (1 June) they are not offering white interior. Also, Performance model which I ordered was £56,050 on 2 May. Today it's £52,650 - one month later (£3,400 cheaper). As I said, you can't get white interior though . . . .

    UK Model 3 - OLEV EVHS and Tesla Home Charger

    Hi all, I ordered my UK Model 3 already and am attempting to get a charger so I can be ready when it arrives. A few questions that I hope you all can answer. 1. Why doesn't Tesla apply for its charger to be covered under the OLEV scheme? 2. Given that all new installations of a home charger...

    UK Home charger assistance

    Thanks for all your help. I looked at the gov't website and it shows 1,415 electricians that are 'approved' for the grant scheme so hopefully should be able to find one that can do this. I guess what I've learned is that in need the 32 Amp system. Much appreciated. The Scots really get a...

    UK Home charger assistance

    Sorry, I guess I don't need the high powered home charger (CCS), just one that's better than just plugging it into the wall. Thanks.

    UK Home charger assistance

    Hey folks - I need a home charger for my upcoming Model 3 delivery and understand that, in Europe, the standard is called CSS and this is what most (all??) Electric cars use here. I read that the Model 3 will be compatible with this standard. My wife has seriously range anxiety so is not ready...

    Yeah! RHD Model 3 is available.

    Yes, also I did use a US YouTubers referral code when I ordered. It didn't work on Wednesday (only showed the S & X) but Thursday morning it did also show the 3. 5K supercharging miles!

    Yeah! RHD Model 3 is available.

    I did buy FSD when I ordered yesterday. I'm curious to watch it improve. I've seen all the YouTube videos of its improvements over the past couple of years and just wanted have a first-hand view of how it copes with the ongoing challenges - stop light, stop sign, town centres, pedestrian...
