    Model 3 screen spontaneously cracked

    Got into my Model 3 last night and the screen was going mad, moving the map by itself, not responding to touches, I hadn’t driven the car for a few days. On closer inspection in daylight there’s a fine crack the whole way across the screen. Nothing has ever hit it, it has just happened in the...

    Number plate with rear bike carrier, ideas?

    Hey folks, I've got the Thule RaceWay 2 boot mount bike rack for my Model 3, I've protected the contact points with helicopter tape and the thing seems to work acceptably. I've done a short journey with a couple of bikes on there. Only problem I have is that it obscures the rear number plate...

    Well there’s a thing, sudden unintended acceleration just happened to me

    So I know what responses this is going to get, because I have made the same responses. I’m going to send my experience as follows to Tesla and try to reproduce in a safe environment. I was driving forward into a parking space, on the flat, feathering the accelerator to creep forward (I use hold...

    Model 3 cover available in the UK

    Afternoon! Does anyone have a cover they’d recommend? The official Tesla one isn’t available here, and I’m struggling to find one with a front vent and charging access. I need to get something to stop bird *sugar* eating my paintwork, this happened with a poo removed well within 24 hours. Water...

    Daily use of air compressor ok for 12v?

    Strange one I know, My Model 3 is in for work, just got finished yesterday with a collection date of today, which unless they’re going to deliver it to me isn’t going to happen. The courtesy Model X I have has a screw stuck in one of the tyres (since I collected it) and it needs to be...

    Sentry/Dash cam footage corruption - Samsung T5 512GB

    Hi all, I'm using a Samsung T5 512 SSD in my Model 3, and I get quite a lot of visual glitches, green sections and jumpiness. Some clips play absolutely fine, and others glitch really badly the entire way through. I wondered if anyone using the same setup as me has always flawless video? I...

    Buzzing from below the charge port area

    Hey, Does anyone else’s Model 3 make this noise? It seems to be happening only recently in the morning when HVAC comes on to warm the car. Mine is RHD so this is below the charge port.

    Any PodPointers got 2019.36.2.1 yet?

    Trying to rule out the software update. My PodPoint is freaking out again. Available amps in the car keeps dropping gradually to 10 from 30, and then the charging is interrupted and the PodPoint goes into some sort of reboot state for 39 seconds and then it happens again.

    Water ingress into boot through seam beneath charge port

    Guess I'm looking for another service centre appointment. I have water ingress into the little cubby hole on the left of the boot. Just had all the boot lining pulled back to trace the source and as I suspected it's coming in through the charge port and then through the seam beneath it into the...

    Battery use at Castle Combe

    I was at the Mini Action Day today at Castle Combe and was sorely tempted to take my SR+ for a few laps in the any vehicle sessions but I decided I wasn't scared enough Question though, has anyone taken their M3 around Castle Combe and have any idea how how many kWh they used for say 10 laps...

    3rd brake light not working...

    I've booked and SC appointment but my 3rd/high level brake light isn't working. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's easy to access so I can check to see if it's something stupid like a loose connector?

    I should have posted this earlier, please be wary of Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance

    A heads up really... I was travelling on the A33 from Reading to Basingstoke last week. Along one of the single carriageway sections with no pavement a guy was walking along the road towards me. I slightly, but safely, straddled the central line to avoid him (oncoming traffic too) and ELDA...

    Model 3 - Open charge port door when car is locked.

    So, according to Model 3 Support | Tesla it should be possible to open the charge port door by tapping it without unlocking the car if you have your phone key close "Outside your car: press the bottom right-hand corner of the charge port door when your car is unlocked, or have an authenticated...

    Bumps in the road to EV bliss

    I've hijacked a few different threads so it's time to combine them into one of my own. I am a lucky owner of a black SR+ Model 3, and I love it. But not everything is rosey! So right now, despite having my Pod Point installed about a month before delivery of my M3, right now I am unable to use...

    Car collected, have Black Horse been in contact?

    Has anyone with BH PCP had any contact from them yet after picking up their car? I guess I shouldn't stress too much, but it'd be good to know what the deal is with payment schedule, and I have no idea what my agreement number is. I might have pushed myself a little bit this month in order to...

    Watch out for poor quality Type 2 cables

    I bought a 10m Type 2 cable in advance of my M3 turning up. Thought I'd plug it into my Pod Point, just to test out the fit and how much it'll stick out from the house when plugged in. On unplugging, I luckily noticed that the plastic point from on of the pins in the cable's connector had...

    Supercharger congestion, your experiences

    I don't have my Tesla yet, but happened through South Mimms yesterday, looked at the Supercharger out of interest. It was a busy day in general. On our arrival half the stalls were full, about 20 minutes later, all but one were full. What's your experience of busyness at superchargers? And are...
