So the holiday update highlighted to me that the nearest Supercharger (Bluewater shopping centre in Kent) had tripled its number to 15, but also increased its per kWh cost to 32p (previously 27p). A browse around the UK chargers suggest it’s the highest cost per kWh in the UK, even edging out...

I've got a P3D and the bass / mid / treble settings are now all flat (set to 0), but I know they weren't like that at first. Loads of sites where people provide 'recommended' settings, but none where anyone says what they are at default.

Hi.. could someone list or take a photo of the default audio settings for the UK M3 please? Was happy with sound, then housemate starts playing with no record of what the defaults were and there's no way to reset them to factory default. Thanks

Yeah, my code has been there for a while, but it’s the super charger miles I should have from using my friend’s code that I’m interested in finding. Edit - turns out they appear in the loot box on the app. Look forward to my first super charge (especially as it’ll be free)

I didn’t pay attention to be honest. I’d been stuck in traffic getting there and was more interested in using their toilet :D Definitely didn’t note any having aero wheels, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t there (or the ones under wrap)

The handover guy said he’d been non-stop (although I didn’t ask if they were all M3’s). There were at least 2 white, 2 blue, a red being cleaned up and another four of 5 that were still under wrap when I got there late this afternoon, so looks like they’ll be busy tomorrow too! Somewhat related...

Not seen anything about Homelink in the settings. I think I read somewhere that it’s now an option or an aftermarket thing (and that it was one of the things taken off from being standard as part of the price reductions).

So this afternoon I collected Grey from the Dartford SC. The handover is minimal, you’re expected to watch the videos and figure most of it out for yourself. Team very pleasant though! Have been driving in chill mode until I get used to the speed and handling. Was impressed that it detected me...

It's tomorrow (Friday). They did ask if I wanted to be pushed back to Saturday, but I'm impatient and like shiny things (and it gives me a good excuse to get out of work early on a Friday afternoon)

Had two calls today regarding my collection from Dartford - both to push the time back further. Reason for there being no 3's at the Dartford SC yet - they're not there, they're at Heathrow! So this all ties together. They've pushed me back from 9am to the afternoon because they need time for...

Can't help but agree. Imminent owner and likely wouldn't have been without the help and advice from users of this forum. I've seen numerous stories about the Tesla community - this is a great example and has really helped with understanding what I need to do to progress my order (where...

Mine was different! Basic in comparison: "We've registered your Model 3 License Plate* Your license plate number is: XX19 XXX VIN Your vehicle identification number is: 5YJ3F7..... *Your Model 3 will be delivered on its government issue registration plate. If you would like to use your...

Bit of an update - Admiral called me after reviewing my phone call with their sales team. They're going to check with their underwriter whether they can use the "import" ABI code to provide me with non-import insurance - should find out within 24 hours. On a semi-related note - when does the...

Oh this had better not be the case. I've had a second credit note appear just this week (no change to the VIN that I noticed) and I've still got a collection appointment for Friday morning. I will not be impressed if I turn up to find the car's not there!

Thickening the plot further is that both Churchill and Privilege appear on the confused.com quote lists with prices very similar to what they provide direct. When you choose them as an insurer and it takes you to their site it populates the car details without "Import" at the end, which leads me...

Oh - and I also find it odd that an import model appears cheaper to insure than a UK car!

I thought that - but resent paying extra just because DLG have some agreement with Tesla! The two ABI no's that the guy gave me were 0220328 (for the Tesla 3-Performance (Import)) and 0220329 for the the one that started Model X P9 (but had a 3 in it as well - didn't quite catch the full name)...

Hi guys - any advice on this? I've spent best part of an hour on the phone to Admiral who provided the cheapest quote for an M3 Performance at just shy of £850 (£100 cheaper than any of the Direct Line Group), but they can't pull up a UK Model 3 on their system. They've got one that has...

That's pretty much the same spec as my order (I've kept FSD, but otherwise identical) that I'm collecting from the same place on Friday! They better not have bumped me (as a HP purchaser) for a cash buyer ;)

My confusion is that the car has technically been sold to Black Horse at this point (who I'm technically then buying it off of over the term) so surely I'd be transferring the downpayment (which is the word I should have used, not deposit) to them, not Tesla, as it's Black Horse I have the...

I'll check in with the Tesla store tomorrow, but thought I'd probably get a more accurate response here ;) I've ordered using Black Horse HP and am due to collect on Friday. Had the final invoice, got my reg number today, but apart from being approved have heard nothing from Black Horse. Has...

Can't help but notice that it's mainly those who ordered the Long Range AWD (the one that's no longer available) who don't seem to be seeing much movement on their orders... It could be that either it wasn't 'a popular enough' option or that its current lack of availability is pushing it down...

I've got my delivery at the Dartford SC next Friday, and fairly certain others getting it next week have SC's other than Heathrow :confused:

As a slight aside - anyone know when (and how) you get the reg number so that insurance can be sorted?

Collecting from Dartford - can't remember when I put the reservation in (it was at least 2 years ago) and order was placed on 9 May - order number was somewhere in the 3000's from what I recall.

Just got my text - collect 9am on Friday 28 June - about 2 weeks earlier than I was expecting! Now got 10 days to sell my current car (eek!)

For those hoping to be on the Grand Mark, it’s finally in European waters and currently in the English Channel. Can anyone on the south coast or the Isle of Wight get a good pair of binoculars and check for RHD M3’s on board?

Got a better look at it on the way back from Bluewater - reg plate shows it's not a UK vehicle :(

Having driven past it twice in the last 12 hours (I live 5 mins from it - not weird stalkery type), I can confirm there’s a red P3D in the parking area of the Dartford Service Centre. Gonna guess it’s a demonstrator

Hi Georg. I come from Cornwall and visit a couple of times a year. Based on where you’re staying the nearest charger will be the PodPoint at the Asda in Hayle harbour. PodPoint is usually free (need the app) but are usually 7kW so won’t be the fastest. I’ve found most chargers in Cornwall are...

Well I was straight on the phone to Chiswick this morning re the BlackHorse HP application. They seemed a bit confused that I was calling them, rather than them calling me. I wasn't going to comment on Tesla's outgoing communications however. On the plus side - it's all good, so the 'lovely...

Thanks for that info - apparently I'm dealing with the Chiswick branch (even though I live much nearer to Bluewater) and haven't had a call from them yet. I will NOT be impressed if my VIN is re-allocated while awaiting a response though, so they should expect repeated phone calls over the next...

Was also told "I don't know how you got on the first boat when there are other people more ahead than you with their finance" which I thought was a tad off seeing as I'm not the one making the decisions!

Just had an interesting phone call from Tesla that may be good news for some... Apparently my order is "on the first boat" and if I don't have finance sorted by the end of this week, my VIN will be re-allocated to another buyer. Try to explain that the lack of PCP for Model 3 full-stop has been...

@EdMag - please do keep us updated. I replied to Alex over the weekend and your post helped with letting me know why he may not have been able to get back to me today. Would be interesting to know if this PCP challenge is only affecting M3 at the moment, or if it’s a wider challenge? Have spent...

Courtesy of Twitter, a finance co called Magnitude Finance have just updated their calculator for PCP and HP deals on the Model 3: Magnitude Finance - Prestige car finance, supercar & classic car finance Anyone had any experience with them? Have requested a call back re the online quote their...

For those who haven't completed the 'next steps' process I've heard it kind of appears on the Manage page. I can't see any reason why Barclays wouldn't finance similar to the S and X, which means 3 year residuals at 39% of the cash price, 4 year residuals at 32% and an APR of 5.4%. Considering...

It's my first Tesla so I thought I'd go for all the bells and whistles. I'm aware of its current limitations, but have learned over the last few years after putting in a reservation deposit to live in hope that Tesla will eventually come through and am now very prepared for that journey to be a...

My order was placed before the £900 FSD increase, so the difference in order value was £63,700 - £60,840 = £2,860. I thought it would be overly cheeky to expect Tesla to 'honour' the FSD price I paid - I'm happy enough getting the reduction that I have! Already emailed FleetSauce, but expecting...

After 2 hours of being on hold (due to one call being cut off) I finally spoke to a very pleasant Charlotte at Tesla who, because I'm not making any changes to the car spec, has requested an Order Agreement variation to knock off the £2,860 price difference. Says I should have that revised...

And the Model 3 owners won't be happy that the S and X owners take so long to charge with their older charging functionality ;) On the plus side - Model 3 is charge-able on non-Tesla CCS stations so that may help with SuperCharger queues.

Thanks for the update and for persevering! A credit form suggests that it will be a refund of sorts rather than an immediate reduction that can be applied to financing. I'm not in meetings all day tomorrow so I'll give them a call just to make sure I'm on the list for one of those forms. If I'm...

And as if by magic Norway call - delivery expected first or second week in July... Now just need to sort out that bleedin' financing (and see if anyone is genuinely successful in a P3+ price reduction before I commit)!

Same here. No phone call from Norway today so I thought I'd call the delivery line... already not a fan of the hold music. Nice to know they appreciate the patience on phone calls as much as they do in being able to order their cars :D

I’d be interested to hear your outcome as I’m in exactly the same position (even down to car and spec) and have emailed the UK Sales account about a reduction, but not heard back yet. The difference covers the luxury car tax for the whole 5 years and some spare change... Estimate it would also...

Turns out there's more than one "5YJ" reference in the source code. Another suggests a 2019 Model 3 - phew! Turns out they've been trying to contact me and my VIN's in the 9500 range.

Based on this method and putting the VIN into Tesla VIN decoder - Lookup and check Tesla VIN number and get build sheet with specs. I'm due a Performance Model X!? That would be surprising! :D

What's the Ctrl-U trick? Never come across this one

That explains the 3 phone calls I've had from Norway over the last few days that I didn't answer! Will need to make sure I answer if they call tomorrow. Why they don't call from a UK number I don't know

I was being quoted around 7.4% APR, so almost 1% worse (albeit on a slightly different car) and ironically from FleetSauce. I might have to snap your quote and go back to them, just in case :D I’m not fully versed on where the PICG goes in terms of these quotes, only that it appears to be...
