Yesterday my Model 3 LR went into the (relatively) new Nottingham Service Centre for its first two-yearly service, at 24500 miles. Because I wanted a courtesy car my booking was made about four weeks ago. My courtesy car was a 19 plate Model 3 Performance in black, with FSD enabled. This was...

From Teslarati: Porsche Taycan driver takes ‘launch control’ a bit too literally in saddest parking fail ever

Has anyone seen this message on their screen? I’ve had it twice over the last few days. When it appears no other vehicles are shown on the visualisation screen. Any idea what causes it?

On our way to Skye. Stopped at Abington where one of the six Supercharger bays had this ICEhole: No shortage of other parking spaces nearby. It was there when we arrived and still there when we left.

Today I’ve kerbed my front wheel again :eek: I’ve been driving for 43 years, and in all that time I’ve damaged one alloy wheel, and paid to have it repaired. I’ve had the Model 3 just over a year, and this is the third time I’ve scraped one of the Aero wheels. Are these the worst designed...

A recent update to Watch App for Tesla has been declined by Apple because it uses a third-party API. Full story here: Apple rejects 3rd party Tesla app update as it strictly enforces written consent for third-party API use - 9to5Mac

Thanks to Ms Sturgeon relaxing her iron grip on the coronavirus, I’m happy to say that we’ve been able to come away on holiday for the first time since all this kicked off. We booked a week in a lovely little holiday cottage overlooking St Mary’s Loch near Moffat, and drove there from Derbyshire...

Moderator comment - thread renamed from "TeslaMate update" As some of you will know, I’ve been using the open source Tesla data logger called TeslaMate since the beginning of February. I’ve been very pleased with it, and it has run faultlessly since I first installed it, and subsequently...

Given that we read about lots of bad reports of Tesla Service on here, I thought I ought to write about a good service experience I’ve just had. About a month or so ago I met up with a fellow forum member @davidmc and during our chat about the Model 3 I happened to mention that I was surprised...

Following on from the other thread (How reliable is the 3 key app?) I thought a poll might be useful to see who uses which phone type as the Tesla key, and how reliable they find it.

I’d always wondered, when the LR Model 3 has puddle lights, door pocket lights, footwell lights etc. why there was no light in the glovebox. I happened to mention this to @davidmc when we met yesterday, and David told me that his car *did* have a light in the glove box! It turns out that my...

Last night I was coming southbound on the M1 on AP. There had been a nasty accident just before Woodhall services, and what started out as a one lane closure ended up with us all stationary for about 45 minutes. The car worked perfectly in the stop-start traffic as we approached the holdup...

Over the last few days, since our weather has turned colder, I’ve noticed that when I open the trunk and lift it, the gas struts don’t open it fully, and I’m ending up banging my head on the not-fully-opened trunk :mad: The cheapo Tesla gas struts must be losing power with the lower...

Tomorrow we’re off to Tenby for a week. I’d planned to go and charge at the Sarn Supercharger on the M4, but when I’ve planned the route in the car the Sarn Supercharger is greyed out, whereas the others are bright red. Any idea what this means, and is Sarn going to be available to me?

I thought, given my mixed experiences with the Kona, it would be useful to start a thread where we can post our experiences of using third-party chargers with the Model 3. So, to be clear, these are not Tesla Superchargers, but rapid chargers run by other networks. Hopefully this will sway the...

Picked up yesterday, so still very much learning! The car caught me out last night by starting to charge immediately in my garage, despite me setting up scheduled charging while we sat at the Woodhall Supercharger. I was a bit worn out after a long day so I just let it do it’s thing. RTFM...

Yesterday I emailed the Parts department at Tesla Stockport to ask if they could get me a paint touch up kit for when I collect my car next Friday. This was the response: “Unfortunately Tesla do not list touch up paints for the UK market yet, just for the states. Sorry for any inconvenience“...

Can anyone tell me does the Tesla navigation system offer speed camera warnings in the U.K.?

For those that have recently visited a UK Tesla outlet, two quick questions: 1. Do the showrooms now have RHD Model 3s on display? 2. Are any of them doing Model 3 test drives yet?

I wondered if any of you were planning on going to Fully Charged Live at Silverstone this weekend? As it starts today and runs until Sunday I suppose you might already be there! I’m going with some friends on Sunday.
