` I've had 2 model 3's since August 2019. First one was the performance, the present one is a Long Range. Driven over 40,000 miles between them. They both drive beautifully. Discovered the Hardknott pass in Eskdale - couldn't resist it! What an experience! - never driven on a road like it -...

Nope, very happy and on to my second M3.

Yes, I would like this back - used to like it on longer trips for following what was going on. More importantly, I didn't like the high-handed way it was removed and the look of the driving screen was changed.

You mustn't forget that the other manufactures had to produce some BEV so that they would be allowed to continue to sell any of their ICE cars in California, - the term has slipped my memory - Oh yeh 'Compliance vehicles'. That explains the tie up with Mercedes and Toyota. But they have paid...

OK - you got me on the Source of the videos, the first one at least is directly from Tesla! :mad: But I still take issue with people casually saying this is a scam. The first video (in present day context) would be like what we are seeing with Optimus - "...here is what we are up to, this is...

I'm sorry if a request for evidence of your very strong claim against Tesla of committing a scam was too much for you. There is evidence that the problem is difficult and we now understand, more than ever, just how difficult, but for it to be a scam you would have to show that Tesla are just...

We are not comparing like-with-like when Tesla only claim a sale when the car is delivered. Tesla can't produce enough vehicles, yet ALL their vehicle factories produced record levels in Q3 2022. Musk predicted the Model Y would be the biggest seller by value this year (which it will) and the...

What FSD scam? You need to get properly informed instead of parroting the MSM. YES, they got it wrong the problem was more difficult than first thought, and YES, the original date and several further optimistic dates have come and gone. BUT, the progress on FSD is considerable, and in the...

I was initially sceptical of the plan to remove USS, then I experimented to find out just how useful (or not) they were. Whilst backing out of a parking spot which had beer barrels behind the car I noted that the USS did not seem to detect them! Ordinarily I would take little notice of the USS...

Please excuse my ignorance - but if the 12 Volt battery is flat isn't there some way of replacing it? I know the Tesla batteries are different but is there no neat solution for attaching a temporary battery to the battery terminals (with the dead battery disconnected - as it may have shorted...

I thought that this sharing of the Superchargers experiment was limited to 10 in the Netherlands? Only, I live close to Trentham Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent where they had a line of 8 chargers opened this summer. On my last -but-one visit (this week) I spotted a Taycan parked. On Saturday I...

I only realised the other week why Tesla is such a target for negative press - because they don't advertise. Th Main Stream Media is dying on its feet compared to Internet offerings and Tesla becomes the natural enemy when they don't play by the rules and spend Billions of dollars advertising...

Interesting, my model 3 Performance is just coming up to 2 years old with less than 15k. I too, am becoming aware of a fairly light 'wheel bearing' type of noise. It isn't always there, if it becomes noisier or more persistent I will log a call..

Try Rich Rebuilds on YouTube - he was busy refurbishing flood damaged Teslas with crash damaged parts - he has faced your situation several times, over a year ago- can't remember which episode he solved your key problem - here is an example:

I have experienced it recently - it does appear to be the low sun - viewed through hedges and trees causing it to quickly affect the light level on the cameras. You can check it by using the reversing camera and view what the side cameras are seeing (though not the pillar cameras). Nothing to...

14 months in, only 10K miles driven. I'm loving it! Best car I've ever owned (50+ years of driving). Very wary of phantom braking. Everything else great, with no problems.

Ah, I seemed to have "jumped the gun" - the two emails I received were just acknowledgement of the two registrations :o) I have just received another email and the attached pdf file tells me in great detail that it is a Cleaner Vehicle Discount - Approval. I now feel I'm getting good value for...

I'm glad I read this thread. I'm visiting London next weekend and have braved the registration process. I can confirm the website is an absolute disgrace - it is so clunky! The first problem I had was creating an account for the London Road User Charging Account. I cannot believe what they have...

When I visited last Sunday (9th) I improved the signage a little - unfortunately I didn't realise there would be 8 separate chargers (I had in my mind they would be 4 double chargers as I couldn't get a photo before I visited). Anyway, 4 chargers have additional signs attached to CCS Charger lead.

I'm intending to use Washington SuperCharger on Sunday (9th). I will volunteer to make up some signs - it will help me to remember to register at the hotel myself :rolleyes:. Although I also intend to have my tea there whilst I wait so isn't that the same place?

Just a thought - the area under the Frunk would make an excellent place to test any paint - It is relatively easy to access and wouldn't require much masking. The results wouldn't need to be perfect as it is already not completely coated with the top coat in all areas (as it doesn't need to be).

As it was a nice sunny day today I had a look at this. There was water present when I pushed back the black tubing running to the 3 items shown in AmPiste's photo above. It didn't look as though it should be a problem as I have now pushed it further away from the actual connectors which are...

I feel that to complete the picture of what is going on my last 2 experiences with heavy braking needs to be included. i.e. on both occasions the Max speed was adjusted down from 70 mph to 30 mph and both happened as the motorway I was driving on passed over roundabouts beneath the motorway -...

I've noticed when using cruise control occasionally the car has quite suddenly slowed. The first time it happened it was quite unnerving and has caused me to be limit my usage of Autopilot, especially when I'm driving my wife. It happened twice on Sunday on the M6 going South, both times I...

Over 6 months of pleasure. Nothing bad to report! If I concentrate hard and think about the bad things... 2 days the rear camera didn't work (hours after an OAU) - it fixed itself - just as well, as the Service visit was 6 weeks away. But, no paint, panel, water or other problems - I had PPF...

Hi, I bought 2 different springs from ebay. One was too lightweight and wouldn't do the job. The other was pretty much perfect and gave the desired softer closing. I'm almost certain it was this: Expansion Spring Tension Extension Springs Wire Diameter 1.5mm Length 40mm-500mm | eBay The wire...

Congratulations! Great to see you finally made it after all the financial shenanigans - although I guess that would be like an amusing walk in the park for an accountant. ;) Lovely looking car - enjoy!

Yes, I'm free tomorrow.

Wife/social secretary away - retired geezer with nobody to play with for the next 2 days. Happy to share the joys of ownership of a red M3P- with 18" Aero wheels.

Hi, I had the same experience, it was fixed when I activated(?) the Car's Spotify account. I drove around for over a week not realising that Spotify was not active - so I could get music and radio other ways. Then when I had a little more time to investigate I came across a message asking me if...

EV don't require the On-Board Diagnostic connector (OBD now OBD2) as they don't have an Internal Combustion Engine. In this YouTube video Jack Rickard explains in detail why and goes into detail about the subject matter. He also sells a variety of options for connecting to the Model 3's CAN...

I've got the same SMS message: "Tesla Update - Your Model 3 is almost here. Your Model 3 is estimated to be delivered between 12/8 and 25/8 in Manchester. Your invoice will be available shortly. Please prepare for payment. To unsubscribe from SMS, reply STOP." I ordered on May 3rd. Red, black...
