    Crack in rear glass

    I have 2019 M3P and mine cracked last week, the crack looks almost identical to yours. I have looked very carefully and as far as I can see it is the internal sheet of the laminate that has cracked Is this test simply running a ballpoint across the external area of the crack and feeling for...

    Trying to play USB Media results in "Loading..." Message, forever...

    Thanks for the help. Well I didn't know what the 2 button reset was, I do now (and perhaps feel a bit silly..) That has fixed it - In my defence, I had powered off overnight, I kinda assumed that was most complete reset possible,, As far as signal strength bars, they were always there when...

    Trying to play USB Media results in "Loading..." Message, forever...

    Hi All. Took delivery on my M3 and it was playing MP3's from the USB just fine. Have a 128GB card partitioned and setup correctly and both TeslaCam and the MP3s are sat happily on the same card. Took car for a service visit for bodywork and trim, they put it in and out of service mode. Left...

    Is your best friend a 3 pin plug?

    I have installed a 16amp command socket in my garage, it's near my fuse panel so I ran a cable to the box. We have an immersion heater that has never been used, it's on its own 16amp trip, so I tapped into that temporarily. I have space for another two trips so may well add another one just fo...

    D-day!

    Not sure yet - I will get round to investigating when I stop fawning over the car. I don't think you'll have much luck requesting them not to fit the front holder - tI think they are too busy to accodate those sort of specfic requests.,. I too want a vinyl for the front. if it has holes the...

    D-day!

    No more than that. Didn't seem massively busy so had plenty of time to inspect the car and get talked through the basic function. Sat on supercharger for twenty mins as i had 180 miles. All in all just fine Needs a sw update which I will do tonight.

    Delivery on Monday!!

    Picking mine up Wednesday 5PM @ Heathrow - offered me 3pm but I need it to be later. I assume they mean Tesla showroom at Heathrow, Park House, Horton Rd, West Drayton UB7 8JD ? Or is there a delivery centre or something?

    Delivery call - WARNING

    This is entirely inline with what I have to come to expect from Tesla... There have been occasions when I have entertained cancelling the order. I have also entertained keeping the car for 6 days and then handing it back. But have come to the conclusion they do/would not give a crap. Nothing...

    Paying for M3 with multiple bank transfers

    I actually meant CHAPS rather than BACS (... too many acronyms ...). Last one I made in the bank they asked for the destination bank address and account details. They then checked on the system it was legit. Whilst I would be in no doubt that they try and wriggle out of it if there was a...

    Paying for M3 with multiple bank transfers

    I would go into the bank and initiate a BACS payment. IIRC there is no limit but usually a charge of 15>20 pounds. Sounds like you are using 'faster payments' which there is usually a 20k limit on. Frankly, for me, it's not worth the hassle or worry of one of the the payments going missing... I...

    Real World Model 3 UK Experience

    Fair enough, Thinking about my vehicle use, I work from home and don't actually do many long trips (at least at the moment) so would I actually use FSD much? probably not. This car will be my first new car for at least a decade (probably longer). My current 2004 Skoda diesel estate is on its...

    Spec Change - Best number to call?

    Ok well, that was weird. I did try and call them but gave up - 15 mins on the phone is long enough for me... I just don't know. I am getting tired of trying to read the tea leaves.... So dropped them an email just querying what my new price would be IF i removed FSD 40 mins later I get a...

    Spec Change - Best number to call?

    I have had "prepare for delivery" text, so I know my car is on the Ace. I am hoping that removing FSD will not change my date.

    Spec Change - Best number to call?

    Thanks. I think I am going to remove FSD and save myself a whole load of money

    Spec Change - Best number to call?

    Does the spec change reflect a whole new price? ie does the base price. change as well? Just repriced my M3 config on the website and its coming out 6k cheaper now. I am finding it difficult not to cancel my order now. I wondered if 'changing' would reprice everything

    As you have a right to be. Happy for interbear that he got his car but I fail to see any justification that he has had his before you. (Of course, the state of Tesla organisation being what it is, you may yet get a text for a car on the ace.) I guess it possible that they could build your car...

    Tesla update SMS

    Well, gee, thanks for explaining your interpretation of the process. Is that based on fact - are you a Tesla employee? Or have you simply using the internet Ouija board like the rest of us?

    Tesla update SMS

    Yep - me too. Still... "August onwards" August starts in 12 days... Given the Ace is near the Panama Canal and the shipping and transfer times are very well known quantities this is still pretty poor Really, a monkey and a copy of excel would do a better job...

    Well, woke up to emails from Tesla this morning. Two emails sent as "Confirming your Model 3 update" . Odd but hey... Full of hope I hopped across to my portal page and ended up seeing two order agreements - "Order Agreement" and "Order Agreement 2" Neither of which had seemingly been updated...

    Andersen scraps WiFi?

    In my nearly 20 years dealing with Wifi, I have come across seemingly endless instances of product design where the wireless connection is the last thing on the list (or an afterthought) that is usually costed down to be the cheapest it can possibly be. Cheap, untested chipsets with a halfassed...
