Some of the new voice commands are great, but some just don't work for me at all in the UK. In particular setting a temperature (eg "set temperature to 19") simply doesn't work at all and just responds that it's "enabled climate control" but doesn't change the temp. (I also tried reasonable...

I think it can be in cm, but it's an all or nothing metric vs non-metric, so you'd have km and kmph, which is obviously no good in the UK. As a young-ish person in the UK, I'd also love to be able to use the (to be fair, horrifying) combo of cm and miles.

FWIW I've charged my Model 3 on my parent's EO Mini Pro and it worked absolutely fine, charged at the speed I'd expect etc.

That's not what the page you linked to says at all, right at the top it says: Clearly says they also have affiliate links that boot you to a third party website.

Yes, it won't let you shift into drive while a cable is connected to the chargeport (even if it's not charging or the cable is connected to nothing)

From a quick Google looks like it was "EVChargeKing" REVIEW: Type 2 Charging Cable with Built-in Chargeport Opener Link to their shop: Charging cable with Tesla command button - evChargeking

"Can you install an electric car charger for me?" "Sure, can you just confirm what model it is for the complexity of the install?" "A Tesla wall connector... but it's just to charge my Renault ZOE, honest guv!"

Don't think it's in there. We've had our reg by email but it's not in the source.

Well those have some very obviously fake Amazon reviews...

Yeah, it could check in every hour or something, and that could be explicitly part of it, or yeah it could be only brought back to life in the actual vehicle I guess. Yeah, there is, but that "car has gone to sleep" flag doesn't have the same weight as a "user has explicitly put the car to...

I think Tesla could / should solve this problem with a "Full Energy Saving Power Off" button, with some helper text below that clarifies "Use this setting when planning to leave the car parked for a long period without charge. This disables sentry mode, climate controls, and cabin overheat...

Also still waiting here. Also 7-20 August. Also passed without text. Not on holiday though, so hoping to get a text ASAP! :p

Yeah, it definitely didn't mention just a year before on that screen. I think it's always been buried in FAQs and stuff, but that screen definitely did not show the 1 year thing:

I recommend checking out Motorway which is like a "we buy any car" service comparison site (worth checking WBAC too, since they aren't on Motorway), I've been using it to track prices for my car I intend to sell: Motorway: Sell My Car Fast - The Comparison Site to Sell Your Car (Not affiliated...

Do you have a direct email for the Edinburgh service centre? Would you mind sharing it? How quickly did they reply?

Ha ha, yep, I bet they drafted all of the staff over from their contact centre in the Netherlands to the Heathrow SC so they could all be handing out cars.

And even if they were reliable, a read receipt would be completely meaningless in a corporate environment you're unfamiliar with the processes for. eg. Tesla could have one person who opens every email immediately when it comes in and sorts it into a bucket for a relevant person to reply to...

... which is a very long way from 100%!

Tesla advised me to only reload on minutes that are prime numbers! They always have such inconsistent information. ;)

Can't help on the installation details, but there are some smaller / potentially more attractive options than Pod-Point. See the commonly cited spreadsheet with all the UK options: EVSE Options The Andersen is often considered the most attractive: Andersen A2 | Stylish and Smart Enabled...

I found this live webcam of Grimsby, I think I can see our Telsa being unloaded from Autopremier in the top corner! Yep, there it is!

Just another improvement over ICE vehicles...

Nothing changed with the current models in March, those are two models that were discontinued in March; a mid-range (MR) model with range between the SR and LR, and a LR RWD (not All Wheel Drive) model, which was the highest possible range in a Model 3.

I think some people have had luck calling or emailing Tesla and asking them to, but it’s not something you can do easily online or anything unfortunately.

No personal experience, but I've seen a few mention collecting from Edinburgh, eg this blog: The Tesla Model 3 and the Scottish Highland Adventure

Hey, that mobile data must cost them at least a tenner over a year! Also, I believe the subwoofer is not installed in the partial premium interior.

I think so yeah, but haven't got that far yet.

We asked Tesla about this, they won't register it and apply it to the car for you for delivery, but they will make up a set of plates for you so you can do the process to apply the reg to the new car, then once it's applied you can just swap the plates yourself.

"Deliveries will continue through August and September" - and presumably just for many years beyond that until they discontinue the Model 3? :p

Yes: Model 3 Wireless Phone Charger Weirdly a guy from the Edinburgh store told me the service centres were selling it, but I haven't actually checked yet. If they're not I'll almost certainly get the Nomad as their stuff is very nice / well built: Wireless Charger

This had some clear photos of a Model 3 with plates in them: 900 Miles Round the Scottish Highlands in the Tesla Model 3 (They're Northern Irish plates, but from Tesla Edinburgh so you'd imagine identical to how standard UK plates will be fixed)

Well when two people love each other... OH a 69 plate... In the UK car registration plate numbers have a two digit component that represents the 6-month period during which the car was registered. 19 plates will be given out for cars registered up to the end of August, and 69 plates from the...

This is definitely their argument. I would argue that in that scenario they should heavily push Ethernet as their recommended option, and help users with that during installs. I think to completely remove Wi-Fi from the spec sheet and leave it entirely unsupported as an option for users where it...

My biggest concern with this whole thing isn’t even “could I get it connected with ethernet somehow” but more that this suggests poor engineering / testing standards from Andersen that they have to abandon Wi-Fi in an existing shipping product. o_O

I think SongShift is probably the least painless option but probably not as painless as being all in on one music service everywhere, obviously.

Main question has been answered already, but just in case you want to hear it directly from Tesla: Model 3 Charging

Reveal your VIN before it appears on your account tldr; search the source for 5YJ

Ooh, I need to give this a go...

Same here, I don't want the worse range of the non-aero wheels.

The DVLA site has various info on what's allowed here: Displaying number plates And goes into greater depth on fonts and stuff in this PDF...

How much did the installation cost? (if you don't mind me asking)

Ha ha! Classic Tesla support right there, that's great.

Someone on Reddit shared this Google Sheet comparing some of the available charging options for Teslas in the UK, which I found pretty useful: EVSE Options
