    Installing 2019.40.50.7

    I have .5 on my m3. Do any of you with M3’s have the additional visualizations? Road markings, traffic lights, stop streets, garbage bins? All I see are the traffic cones from the previous releases...

    Are you a creeper?

    I concur, - I have it on solely for the reason that at the office I park agains a wall.. and CREEP mode allows much more precise control, with the foot on the brake, as opposed to trying to nudge the accelerator to move my expensive bumper closer to an immovable brick wall ;-)

    360 degree camera

    you have that and it works pretty well... one of the buttons on your steering wheel... same goes for the setting of the speed when in autopilot or should I say Traffic Aware Cruise Control - just scroll one of those buttons up and town and voila...

    Questions For Uk Model 3 Owners (delivery Complete)

    It does - I can confirm as a tested it for you too. See point 4 below Of course our controls are just mirrored to the LHD shown in the manual, but all works as expected... Yesterday I only had it at "face-level":

    Reserving to Receiving - a P- story

    Had some questions on the length of the Type 2 cable. It measures 4.5 meters from tip to tip... but I'm assuming it is a 4.0m cable (probably excluding the connectors, looking at the label on the packaging...)

    Reserving to Receiving - a P- story

    Yes.. the problem is that there are no fuses (as far as I can see or find) in the Model 3 for the 12V driven accessories... that's not a major issue as what that probably implies is that those accessories are supplied by a control unit that then does the "fusing" electronically internally.. i.e...

    Episode 3... What the car came with... So besides the mats, 2x front, 1x rear and 1x frunk/froot, it came with : an emergency kit (red) was in the frunk a type 2 extension cable also in the frunk, and the home charging kit - that was in the (big) hidden compartment under the boot The Type...

    No spare wheel and no tyre repair kit... in the weeks leading up to this I ordered the following tubeless repair kit and I'm still looking for a compact compressor to keep in the car... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RV3X9FW it has all the basics and seems real good quality too...

    Reserving to Receiving - a P- story

    it only comes with the aero covers, so you have to get those separately.. Tesla does sell their own version, but that's only in the USA... so here you have to make do... I purchased these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RXKLSP7 and 56mm Car Wheel Center Cap Rim Hubcaps Emblem Fit for...

    Reserving to Receiving - a P- story

    I particularly did not want the 20" wheels nor the lowered suspension... I would always have the option to buy other wheels but changing the suspension seems like just too much trouble... (not to mention the insurance implications)

    ...continued Right, as you are signed in at the front desk, your Tesla app changes... right, as I was saying... and there she was! The delivery specialist enabled mobile access, so my APP would work, we tested both key cards and then we went through the car - I wound a couple of things...

    Reserving to Receiving - a P- story

    There have been many questions on this thread - the UK one in particular as to the process and how it all goes and what happens when etc... This is my story.. it's bound to be different from other stories, that's just how Tesla is... but I'm hoping it will at least answer some questions and...

    UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

    Model 3 12V Power Socket

    Thanks - the disassembly seems very minor, and it seems the one side is suited for running cables - I will check over the weekend and report back
  39. Thiellie

    Model 3 12V Power Socket

    Thanks, does not seem too difficult - the one side seems to cater for cable routing - I guess it will be our RHD driver side.. (doubt whether Tesla would mirror that in the LHD vs RHD design)

    Model 3 12V Power Socket

    Does anyone know how the 12V Power Socket and ISB ports are protected from shorts etc? No where in the manual do I see anything about fuses anywhere... Possibly electronically “fused” (over-current protected) by the control unit that supplies them?

    Model 3 12V Power Socket

    Not sure what you mean.. I'm just looking to power a USB Hub (some hubs are bus powered and other's can take external power so the combined power the Hub can deliver is more than the power output of the USB socket it plugged in to.) Of course one could attack the problem the other way around...

    Model 3 12V Power Socket

    It seems like the M3 has only one 12V power socket... but it is nice and beefy - 16A! Does anyone know if anyone has taken that forward towards the front USB ports? I'm thinking a Powered USB HUB... This would give you much more juice for the wireless chargers and Sentry mode Flash drives...

    I disagree - I’m picking up at Heathrow tomorrow and roughly 23 hours prior to my appointment I got a call with my Reg.

    Ground clearance for Model 3P- versus 3P+

    not even the Owner's Manual is clear about that ;-) But as far as I recall the P+ has an "Estimated" lowering of 10mm
