    Speed sign recognition too good :-(

    Yeah, the issue I'm seeing is it reading the wrong signs but correctly. The main problem seems to be where there's a sign (usually 20 or 30) right at the junction for a side street off a main road. The car reads that as applying to the main road not the side street. It then seems to stubbornly...

    Speed sign recognition too good :-(

    I'm seeing this problem of reading the speed signs from side roads constantly. The in-car HUD seems to be displaying the wrong speed limit more than the right one since this update. Wish I could just turn speed sign reading off.

    Squeaky M3 Brakes

    I tried to book a service for this but was told I had to demonstrate the problem at the service centre, which was never going to happen as the squeaking only ever occurs as I’m setting off. I asked about this on TOGUK and the consensus there is that it’s a known problem from lack of use of the...

    Home Charging Stations

    I paid a flat £400 for installation. The engineer had to come back a second time due to problems. I think any time when you're paying a flat fee rather than hourly there's going to be some cushion for the tricky jobs and repeat visits. Also I was using the supplier's preferred engineer, who...

    Home Charging Stations

    I was going based on this post - #13 - and the discussion around it in that thread. As I didn't order the Tesla charger in the end I never looked in to it in detail and you may well be better informed, just thought I'd link where I got the idea from.

    Home Charging Stations

    The Tesla unit uses a more expensive type of RCD than most/all other charger designs in the UK, and doesn't qualify for the OLEV grant so you miss out on that saving too. I'm a happy Andersen A2 customer. To my knowledge it's the only tethered charger with built in cable storage. As it's on the...

    Tyre pressures

    I had the same problem today with a Ring compressor, which then went dead and stopped working completely. I then drove to the garage and filled up there instead. TPMS warning light hasn't gone off yet but hopefully will on next drive.

    Model 3 SR+ - Hidden costs?

    As an SR+ user of ~10 weeks now I've found that the two problems I've had have been a) trips away for several days, and b) days out. As @VanillaAir_UK says, if you're away for days and staying somewhere you can't charge this will become a problem. We've done two cottage holidays since getting...

    Jeda & Customs

    Yeah I've had to pay customs charges for goods from the US & Canada before, it's fairly normal. This one just seems to have dropped in to a black hole though where Parcel Force are saying they don't know anything until it's back in their hands. Just curious really whether I've been particularly...

    Jeda & Customs

    Anyone had any luck getting the Jeda USB hub? Mine has apparently been at customs for three weeks now with no signs of movement :(

    Upgrade to Premium Connectivity?

    So far, no. Equally, as far as I've heard it's not running out and requiring renewal yet for AWD owners.

    Alternative to Andersen EV Charger

    Yeah the Tesla unit is clearly designed to handle being installed outdoors (we have several at work), but the tethered cable with no storage is something that people may not want on the front of their house. If I had a garage I’d probably have gone with Tesla just for the button, but as it is...

    Alternative to Andersen EV Charger

    Agree - the Andersen is the only charger I’ve seen that has a built in cable tidy, and that’s why I went with them (as it will be installed and used outdoors).

    Main Fuse/Power Upgrade 80amp?, 100amp?, Confused.

    As in finding time to drive 500 miles you mean? As the long term owners keep warning me there's a million ways to send your Wh/mi through the roof though. Lots of stop start with heavy acceleration in sub-zero temps with the AC on 24 should do it ;)

    Main Fuse/Power Upgrade 80amp?, 100amp?, Confused.

    We have 22kW chargers at work so I get to charge at 11kW there. I can charge my Model 3 SR+ from 20% to 90% in about 3.5 hours at 11kW. Whilst there's always going to be people with very unusual driving patterns, I think a full charge in 4-5 hours is more than good enough for home charging for...

    Can anyone recommend a dog cover for the rear?

    I've gone for the URPOWER - accidentally bought the one without the mesh window, may upgrade at some point as am worried about airflow impact on the AC https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CMZ11TX/?coliid=I2R8OAQPYTPRHM&colid=WH1I2MNYVNZ5&psc=1

    Sentry Confusion - Random Triggers

    You may have realised this already but - in my experience whenever Sentry triggers it creates 10 one minute files, the same as Dashcam. Unless the actual trigger was something very serious, the first nine files will always have nothing interesting in them, and can just be skipped. The 10th one...

    One pedal driving in M3

    I'm already so used to one pedal driving in the Model 3 that I found driving my wife's (ICE) Mini yesterday incredibly disorienting. I didn't crash but she moaned at me about my driving way more than usual. Apart from coming to a full stop, as a general rule of thumb I feel that if I need to...

    Is your best friend a 3 pin plug?

    I've been working with UMC and heavy duty extension cable too while I wait for my home charger to be fitted. Of course currently I'm having work done on the roof so can't even get my car on the drive anymore, but that wouldn't be any less of a problem with a fitted charger :)

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    So looking over here (Tesla Europe Registration Stats) we can see that Tesla UK delivered 1,900 cars in the first seven months of July. And then over 2,000 in August. Which I think puts the demand spike they're having to work through in perspective.

    Anyone swapping over to the Taycan??

    They haven't confirmed a base or "4" version of the Taycan yet, and if one does come it is 12-18 months away from launch. The car that's actually available to order today "starts" at £20k more than the most expensive Teslas. And that's before you've had to pay option prices for things like...

    M3P+ - What mileage for 100% charge?

    329 is the regulator mandated WLTP test figure, which is generally held to be nonsense. IIRC the in-car display of mileage is based on US EPA testing, which is believed to be more realistic. Your real world range will depend on many factors including driving style, external temp, use of AC...

    Free Supercharger Miles Problem

    I have 1,000 free Supercharger Miles, but every time I use one the car says I’m being billed real money, and the free miles in my loot box don’t go down. Will this sort itself out or do I have a problem? If I have a problem does anyone know best way to contact Tesla to fix?

    Vendor LUXURY RHD Model 3 Floor Mats NOW AVAILABLE (I finally pulled my finger out!_

    Yeah I'm keeping all my cables in the "hidden compartment" in the boot, and have even dropped other things in there too when carrying small loads to stop roll around. So I'm worried a full boot liner would just get in the way.

    UMC granny charging speed - 3 pin plug

    Having got the car faster than expected I'm going to be relying on the UMC for the next two months. I'm cautious of leaving it running overnight because it's having to run off an extension lead, but so far the charging speed seems like it will be manageable for daily driving. Although plugging...

    Collection Charging

    Yeah, I collected from Leeds today with under 40%. Gave me an excuse to try out the supercharging experience on the way home (and I met a couple other Tesla drivers in the process).

    Generally yes. At times though there’s been an option for the Performance, err, performance level in the standard LR AWD spec. That is, without 20” wheel and the altered suspension etc. This option has become known as “P-“, so you often see ‘standard’ Performance referred to as P+ to...

    SR+ heated rear seats and front fog lights

    From what I’ve read the front fog lights are there to stay though - currently it’s only the base SR (not SR+) that doesn’t have them, despite what the order page says. Basically it looks like Tesla have confused themselves with the introduction of “partial premium” and so there’s a lot of...

    No-one knows. Base case assumption would be late September or early October, but there’s a whole bunch of reasons why it could be earlier or later.

    Random AP/FSD Question - Overseas Driving

    Not something I'm planning to do any time soon but just curious - if you take a RHD drive Tesla through the Channel Tunnel, can you engage AP safely on continental roads? Including FSD features (i.e. lane changes) if you have them? I've never driven outside the UK myself and was just thinking...

    My car is gone...:/

    People used to say that about Teslas, but I don't think it's as true now for the Model 3, at least for the SR+. It's fair I guess to say that the price differential from the bottom to the top of the range is bigger than for other cars that start in the £35k bracket, so by the top of the M3 range...
