    Buying a used M3P

    Mine was just lifting. They replaced with new though rather than just reattaching.

    Buying a used M3P

    Mine is a March 2020 Performance with 29k miles. Looking at the prices of them now and what I’d get as a trade in, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I quite envy your position. I’ve not really had any issues with mine. The usual condensation in the rear light clusters and carbon spoiler lifting all...

    Lane Change - Autopilot

    I remember many of us on here got a 2 or 3 week free trial a couple of years ago. IIRC the overwhelming consensus was that it convinced us not to bother with it. Certainly not worth the 3400 asked for at the time.

    Android Update - Tesla App

    This is just plain annoying now. I’ve emailed Tesla app developers email and it’s no longer monitored. That about says it all!

    Android Update - Tesla App

    Looks like a cloaking mode to me!

    Free supercharging in Europe and Israel

    Seems to exclude the ones open to none Tesla so my local Trafford Centre is not included. Oh well. Edit - sorry, it is showing as free. I may go and see as only at 30%. Showing as 6 available.

    Maps Issue

    This happens to me a lot in Manchester too. What seems particularly annoying is that it doesn’t default to the installed maps that my neighbour has 100% of the time by not paying for premium connectivity.

    Right window not showing navigation information

    Yes, Spotify, Tidal and energy app for me. Not always but it was handy to have the prompt if the screen was covered. I’m looking forward to the fix in the latest update.

    Right window not showing navigation information

    Well that’s annoying. Not as if there is a shortage of real estate in that area. I missed it yesterday on a longer trip. I’m on .8

    Wheel upgrade

    The issue with the P was more that it had a slightly different hub and needed the replacement wheels to accommodate that. I switched to 19” wheels for winter tyres on my 2020 M3P and they just fit over the callipers (and provide a better, quieter ride)

    Wheel upgrade

    Any speed sensors will be on the hub assembly so you’ll not need to worry about that. You’ll need specific Tyre pressure sensors for Tesla but plenty of options available there.

    Loosing maps / satellite imagery

    I’ve lost maps around Manchester intermittently for the last few weeks. Perhaps it did coincide with an update, I’m on 12.1.1. It’s annoying it doesn’t default to the onboard maps that those without connectivity enjoy without a monthly subscription. It still routes ok with instructions for the...

    Dec 2021 M3P HV battery replaced - have they fitted the right one?

    I’ve just checked mine and it’s saying 288 miles. That’s M3P 38 months and 26k miles.

    Did anyone place a deposit on this car?

    I can certainly see why he would have put a deposit down. What a great price!

    Tesla Energy Plan to Octopus Flux

    Thank you both. I’ll try.

    Tesla Energy Plan to Octopus Flux

    My Tesla Energy Plan has ended and it’s not being renewed. I’ve sent an email to switch to Flux and see how that goes. Unfortunately that has not happened yet and I’ve been defaulted to a regular tariff for import and a standard export. They still have control of my Powerwall so are charging at...

    Octopus tracker tripled

    That was interesting for a while but usual service resumed now. 6.03p in the NW. It will be a more difficult shout when the price cap comes down in April.

    M3P - Mods

    I wouldn’t go this far myself, I’ve done a few smaller things, but I’m very glad others like you do this. It definitely makes it stand out.

    Dilemma - stick or twist re vehicle choice

    I’d stick. From what you say, it feels the perfect combination. I’d love a camper project!

    Brakes are terrible

    Whenever the 3 (usually the Performance) is tested on CarWow, it does well in Matt’s braking test against the competitors. I’ve not found a problem but do tend to clean up the disks every couple of weeks by turning down the regen.

    Macclesfield to Elgin and return

    I was at Gretna last week and dropped lucky re availability both ways. There are some ground preparations going on opposite the SUCs that looked electrical but no indication as to what it is. My hope is a dozen V3s but may be other chargers or nothing useful at all. Wish I’d taken a photo.

    No way to remote start heated wipers?

    From the charger if it can. That’s not configurable as far as I’m aware.

    Battery conditioning model 3

    If I know I’m stopping for a bite to eat then it’s best to not precondition to buy a bit more eating time. I do that by navigating to somewhere near but I’ll try out that cancel option. Never knew about it so thanks.

    Expensing EV mileage UK

    Well the EV rate for company cars is a derisory 4p so it’s not that. 8p is not enough really these days. If they pay 45p for ICE then they should do the same for EV. You can’t get the 37p back from HMRC, only the tax relief which depends on your tax rate. Better than nothing and probably plugs...

    Tesla Model 3 and Zappi v2 Charging Issue

    I wouldn’t say it has nothing to do with it but despite the functionality afforded by Zappi, I still use the car to schedule the start and effectively use the Zappi as a dumb charger. So what I’m seeing is a change from when it works as it always has.

    Tesla Model 3 and Zappi v2 Charging Issue

    I’ve had this same issue with my tethered Zappi V2. Zappi says EV not connected and car says no power. Fiddling with the cable then gets it going so I suspect a broken comms wire about 1 m from the Zappi unit. It’s odd that it sometimes works for 5 mins and sometimes immediately knows there is...

    Key Fob or not ?

    Is this why when I put my Samsung up against the door pillar the other day for no reason at all, it opened? Wow As an aside, I have one of those Aliexpress rings and find it very useful when open water swimming for example and I want to lock everything else in the car. I bought it as a bit of a...

    [UK] 2022.28.X

    Me too overnight. Not really driven .1 enough to comment on the loss of radar (skipped 24) other than to note the reduction in max speed of AP from 90 to 85 to confirm the loss. We have a longer trip this weekend that will include some night driving.

    Project Solar UK reviews ?

    The problem is that many of these companies simply contract out the most important aspect, the installation. Some are good and some bad and it’s a bit of a lottery. Get local recommendations and good luck.

    Solar PV - Bird Protection Yes/No?

    We had to get it done after the first year when we had a couple of nests. Cost 600 for two sets of panels. Worth it.

    Is now the right time to swap??

    That 3 litre straight diesel is a fabulous engine. I had an F30 330D M Sport and it was great car. I had it from new for just over 3 years and loved it. Then swapped to an M4 because I wanted an M car. That was really special on the right road and in the right setting but it was my daily driver...

    Charging at hotels, caravans, guesthouses, cabins etc with 3 pin plug

    Haha it’s a good question! At a little self-catering place we stay at in Edinburgh, the owner offered that I could plug in to a very conveniently located external 3 pin which I did one night but I didn’t abuse their offer. At a generic corporate hotel chain last year, I found an external...

    Model Y 20" curved alloy 😭😭

    Those 20” model Y alloys are satin black pretty much. I’ve spent 2 years trying to find a decent match on my 2020 20’s as they are a very dark grey, again satin. The best match came from a generic seller on eBay.

    any way to send a multi-stop trip to the car from google maps/browser etc?

    I’d like to do that too and was playing around this morning. The closest I got was by sending each one then at least having them handy in the car drop down

    Model Y Standard Range RWD

    I looked at that 0 to 60 time and thought “meh, bit slow”. It’s funny how now I see a sub 7 second sprint as slow. It’s not, obviously! It looks a great combination if the price point can be maintained.

    Wall charger now shows in app

    All I’m saying is that the app could show the power diverted to the car rather than showing it going to the house. That information is available to Tesla because it does show it in the charging stats in the app. It’s not a big issue though, I’m very happy with the Zappi.

    Wall charger now shows in app

    How is the Tesla app going to schedule a third party charge point? Through the car.
  46. Gatsojon

    Wall charger now shows in app

    Yes I have in the UK. I don’t have a TWC though, rather a Zappi. Given Tesla app knows what is going into the car, I don’t see why it is charge point specific.

    Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3?

    You clearly don’t have Golf Type Rs, Audi RS3 and Merc A45s. Here in the UK, these need putting in their place and it really needs an M3P to firmly do that ;)

    Octopus Tesla Energy Plan

    There are losses of around 5 to 10% for each transfer across the inverters, the solar one and the PW. It won’t change your conclusion, or mine for that matter, that TEP is best for our circumstances for now.

    Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3?

    The price differential is back to where it was when I bought my P over LR. The man maths is quite easy at 5k 😉
