I was one of the lucky ones who received by model 3 in August 2019, at that time seeing another model 3 on the road was a very rare sight. Anyway it is coming up to the time for it's first MOT. I understand that Tesla do not do MOTs, so the advice is to take it to a garage your trust. What...

Well that year went quickly. I'm a bit surprised about my battery status. Each day I record battery range and percent and calculate max range. For the first few months it stayed around 310 miles, then dipped down to 295, but has since been creeping back up, currently around 305 miles. My...

I've recently booked a service at Dartford, one item is a passenger door rattle when closing the door. Today I received the following text - Hi Ian VIN xxxxx, thank you for your Service request. In order to investigate your noise concern we require authorisation for diagnosis at a cost of...

I'm currently loosing about 18 miles range per day as the car sits in the sun with these low thirties temperatures. I have a reflective screen inside the car across the windscreen and have tried using 'vent'. Are you experiencing significant range loss due to the automatic cooling? Can it be...

My regen has been limited since I updated to 2019.36.2.1 The power use / regen bar below the indicted speed shows dots for about half of the left part of the regen section. It is especially noticeable when lifting off the throttle from say 60mph - not much happens compared with the past. Things...

A lot of the metal work around the suspension areas seems to be protected (wheel studs for example - are they galvanised?, but I'm seeing rust on the threaded end of the axels. I've brushed a little waxoyl on these now to prevent future problems. Where has anybody else seen rust that can be...

Just thought I'd share the necessary to charge your iPhone neatly in the centre console in the M3. You'll need a right angle (90 degree) charging cable with sufficient depth on the lightening connector to fit in the plastic channel in the centre console. If the lightening connector is less than...

Gosh, just received above message. So presently performing an update. I wonder what improvements I'll see?

My 3 is in for minor paint correction and I have a model S as a loan car. Can I charge the model S with the cable that came with the model 3? I know UK superchargers have different plugs for the fast DC charging, but I hope the 'at home' AC charging should be the same between S and 3. Can...

Today I thought I'd take a peak under the car and remove the panel under the front drive train. As you can see in the photo there is a little oil collected on the lowest part. I've wiped it off and will check again in another week or so. Maybe I'll have a look at the rear next and see how that...

I picked up my M3 yesterday, a few paint / alignment issues were noted at the time. I've now found a few more very minor issues (within the 100 mile limit I was told was available for reporting). So I've taken photos as a record. Is it possible to email service? If I book an appointment via...

Creep mode makes the car behave more like an automatic I believe so from stationary if you take your feet off the pedals the car will move forward slowly. I'd like to know - - If creep will move the car forward if on a slight incline? - With creep on and a steep incline will the car roll...

I'm not happy about not having a spare wheel. Flats always happen when you need to get somewhere. So I've been thinking about carrying a spare (especially on longer trips). I've also been thinking about a set of winter wheels & tyres. For £1400 I can get 4 alloy wheels, 4 Michelin CrossClimate+...

Have any cars been picked up from Dartford yet? I chose Dartford as it is slightly closer, but could easily do Heathrow. Maybe time to change?

Yo can check how much you have paid by looking in the source code. I did a test transfer of £90 yesterday. Today when I look in the source code I can see - "ExistingDeposit":"Your deposit of £3,090 has already been credited Saves a long phone call wait! :)

I'm paying cash for my car (hopefully within the next month) and my bank limits the amount that can be transferred each day. So I will be transferring over several days. I intend to transfer a small amount first, then call Tesla to confirm it has been received. If that goes well I will transfer...
