Dear all I had my Model 3 for about 3.5 years, and it feels to me like there are lots more bugs and niggles than there used to be. A selection of recent ones for me below; any advice, solutions or empathy gratefully received: Walk away lock works for me all the time, but for my partner only...

There's not a whole lot more space for kids in the back of a Y, the interiors are practically identical.

I second that, had a decent slow-food burger and chips there back when it was still dry enough to sit in the beer garden

Had that problem on my Model 3, similar ish age. Took it to the service centre, they did something with ball joints and control arms. Fixed it. Apparently a not uncommon problem. I would make an appointment.

What car was the in-law picking up? Not electric?

Same here, just took the keys. Was on the back of a transporter and gone while I was still waiting to collect the Tesla. Price offered was quite low compared with a WBAC quote, but after 10 weeks waiting for the ship from Fremont, I took it to WBAC and their offer was lower so went through with...

Got the email, followed the link, entered the code and it says ‘invalid’.... anyone else?

Does the indicator stalk not drive anyone else nuts? Have I clicked it to fully on or just a brief flash? If I click it fully the other way on a roundabout, will it indicate or not? If I click it gently the other way, will it turn the indicator off again or put it on in the opposite direction...

Well, to be blunt: burning gas will eventually kill us all whereas electricity from renewables won’t...!

Yes, that's what's been proposed. But, it's an old house with solid brick walls so not terribly well insulated or insulatable. Thanks for all the answers so far! Anybody have any knowledge of Nibe systems? Swedish company...

Hey chaps, somewhat off topic I know, but I’m wondering whether anyone has any experience with replacing a combi boiler with an air source heat pump? Specifically, I’m wondering about cost for a 16kw system for a large semi – online there are some ballparks in the £8-£12K range, whereas the...

Worked for me this morning too for the first time in a week...

Same problem here, before and after upgrading to ios14. It’s definitely car related, think it’s not connecting to the mobile network where it should be getting wake instructions from. Maybe Tesla Uk forgot to pay the phone bill!

If you click on the navigation pane on the map so it expands to show all the turns, it gives you a live battery estimate for the destination at the bottom. I’ve made trips before where it showed 5% to start, but then with a bit of careful driving will creep up to 10, 15% and remove the stress...

Got one of these: Britax Römer Vehicle Seat Protector https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SYSWXQE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DxfqFb7TWVQJA Seems to do the trick. It’s not hard, so not sure whether it will stop indents long term but has so far (a year)

Yeh saw an article on the guardian about it: Self-driving cars could be allowed on UK motorways next year Surely Teslas and several other makes already do all this stuff? Will we be confined to the slow lane from next year?

I drove 275 miles to Cornwall last week with only 1 stop in Bristol, and the charging was shorter than the queue at Burger King. Two adults, two kids, full boots.

I ordered the three-bike version of this last week on amazon... it’s not due to be delivered for a few weeks though so would be interested to hear updates on your experience, and particularly if the whole lot drops off the back on the motorway!

Where could I buy a sea sucker from? Found the .com site which has prices in GBP but shipping is from the US and an extra 60 quid!

I pre-ordered one of these 18 months ago, then cancelled it and bought a Model 3. Reasons: had to wait another year, had the M3 since August. Plus, the styling is nice and such but it does look like an ICE design that's been switched to an EV. In fact, this goes for pretty much every other EV...

Ah in the Stage hotel? Or is there a garage on the other side of the road?

Where abouts? It’s not showing for me in the Zap-Map app... Handy for visits, my home town...

Thanks both, will take a look!

Hey chaps, anyone have a decent headrest holder for an iPad so the kids can watch TV in the back seats? All the ones I find seem to mount to the headrest poles, and the model 3 doesn’t have any.... (in anticipation of driving on holiday this summer, so probably not needed any time soon!)

Me too.... about once a month. Definitely not fat fingers on the buttons either.

Was just about to ask the same thing! And is 16 a max or do you get even more in summer?

A small part of the reason I bought the model 3 rather than holding out for an electric car from an established brand was the way it looks: all the other EVs on or coming to the market look like petrol cars that have been converted to electric, the Tesla looks like it was designed as an electric...

We get a phantom window opening about once every couple of weeks. Sometimes it could be the kids, but sometimes it feels like either the window goes down too far on opening and can’t get back up, or the car opens it after we’ve walked away..!

I had one of those SanDisk 128gb usb drives too, and mine failed after about 2 months - also completely dead and not even appearing as a drive. Switched to a Samsung T5 SSD

I wave at other M3s in my M3, and occasionally get one back... but not often. And yeh... clown :(

£300 for those with an SR+. In the upgrades bit of the account page.

If you change the country on Tesla.com to Japan, you can see the prices....

What’s the figure in ‘reference consumption’ at 110 kph? It puts in 160, is that good or do I need to adjust it for my own numbers from the car?

Will look, thanks

Yes, but you also feel like a mobile road block..! Seems to me in my limited experience in France that everyone sticks to 120-130

Hey chaps, planning a trip to the south of France and I’m wondering what kind of range I’ll get in an SR+ cruising at ~130 km/h in warm weather. Anyone done it? Can I expect 200miles from my 230 ‘miles’ of range?

Driving in Sainsbury’s car park yesterday I was surprised to see pedestrians visualised on screen. Not noticed that before, maybe it was in v40?

The Hilton at Heathrow?

My Nomad came with a splitter in the box....did you not get one?

Anybody got any info on the supercharger at Dorchester that's 'coming soon in 2019' on the map? Would be super useful if soon was next weekend!

I paid £460 for the Tesla wall charger and £200 to have it fitted... admittedly quite close to the fuse box. I get the feeling that electricians are marking up these installs by £500 and then taking the grant.

I saw a photo from somewhere (in the US?) where the data limit was shown on the summary screen in the app, and it was 50GB.

I'm not even close to being the only M3 in the village? Blue standard range if you see me about....

I wonder if this is the problem that Schrodinger set out to solve... can’t tell if the cat is alive or dead until he gets out of the car....

Pottering around Letchworth Garden City in my new blue model 3, confident in the knowledge I'm the only M3 in the village... then look in the mirrors at a junction and directly behind me is another blue m3 :( The brain did a double take for a moment, trying to work out how i could see my own...

Noticed this with my Tesla charger, and thought maybe it starts off lower to warm up the battery or something. But, there be experts here who will know.

Ignore me, you meant monthly

Think your petrol cost there is per month not year... you’ll not drive 21000 miles for 250 quid!

Can I buy one at the pick-up?

Will be there tomorrow too!
