    Dashcam Unavailable Check USB

    Now mine is doing the same thing. I hadn’t read this so assumed the Tesla usb had gone bad. Just bought a 256gb Sandisk one and it worked for a short drive now this too has the red X. I think it’s a software issue. Hopefully Tesla will rectify it. So irritating though especially having bought...

    Thule Roof Cargo Box Size?

    It’s pretty big - we did a 2000 mile trip across Europe with a roof box (older style and so not as aerodynamic), with also a ski roof rack and winter tyres. The overall hit to range was almost 50%. On the way back we put the skis in the roof box and did away with the Ski - this made a...

    Wheel choices now I am changing cars

    I should add that I could change the M3P or MYP to a long range version if that is a better option. We ordered principally as we want to keep these cars for a while and thought the Performance variants may be the best option

    Wheel choices now I am changing cars

    We currently have a white LR AWD 2021 model 3 with 18“ aero wheels. Absolutely love the car. So much So that we have ordered two new teslas to replace our family cars and the LR AWD may go. We have ordered a model 3 performance in blue with white interior and a model y blue with white interior...

    UK Model Y with Blue Exterior and White Interior with Geminis/Inductions?

    Interesting I have ordered exactly the same: MYPerformance White interior and blue paint. I am also thinking the ride may be a bit hard but the look is worth it. Also I may hold for the 7 seats as that‘s what we really need but depends how long the wait is. May just get the 5 seats and be...

    Ride Quality of Tesla Model Y

    Why can’t tesla release the y with air suspension and charge a premium for it - it is crying out for air

    2022 model y?

    I am going with it and collecting in a couple of weeks - M3 Performance in Blue. Knowing my luck I'll be on the way to collect it and they'll announce some major updates. Thanks all for the input though and if you know of any rumours of things coming that I should hold for, do say otherwise M3P...

    2022 model y?

    Dang. I am properly confused now. We have ordered a performance M3 and it was due for delivery end of November. Hearing rumours about the 2022 model, we asked tesla to put our PM3 on hold until January 2022. This is in the hope we get the 2022. However I now don’t even know if there will be...

    2022 Model 3 rumours and opinions - should I collect my M3 in November or wait a couple of months?

    I am so glad it is not just me that doesn’t see the full range from our tesla - I assumed we were just bad at driving it. Though on a long run we do get pretty close. But everyday driving we get no way near. I have been blaming my wife for accelerating too fast and driving hard… perhaps I...

    Performance to Winter tire swap timing advice?

    Interesting, I asked this question on another thread. We have a 2021 model 3 LR AWD with Aero wheels and a spare set of winter tyres on the same 18” aero wheels. We have ordered a performance M3 and I was hoping the 18” Aero Wheels would fit the performance too. I was hoping they would but...

    2022 Model 3 rumours and opinions - should I collect my M3 in November or wait a couple of months?

    It's as tense holding out as it is missing out on new features - :eek:

    What's next for model 3?

    Cool - when you say "what is coming" - is there a date for these things? I have a M3 performance on order - due this month, but I have put on hold to January 2022 just in case these become available, but now weighing up whether up to go for it now or still hold as being without a second car and...

    Winter Tires - Prefresh on 2021 Model

    Cool - I have experienced the TPMS missing and it's not too bad and doesn't affect driving. A slightly different question, but sounds like those in the know here can help. We have a AWD LR Model 3 2021 with aero wheels. We bought a second set of these wheels with winter tyres. Now we have a...

    2022 Model 3 rumours and opinions - should I collect my M3 in November or wait a couple of months?

    Awesome responses all. Much appreciated. @Gauss Guzzler I didn’t actually vote for Brexit as I work across the EU - or used to, but appreciate the sentiment. I imagine Berlin will still export to the U.K. as the tariffs are similar to if they came from the US / China - but transportation a heck...

    2022 Model 3 rumours and opinions - should I collect my M3 in November or wait a couple of months?

    More of an opinion thread… Probably not something people can answer outright, but please do share opinions - I have a Tesla 3 performance on order and received confirmation that I can pick it up in late November, however, I have asked tesla to hold temporarily. The reason I asked to hold is...

    UK Model Y Order Book Open

    I’ve done the same. I got a notification saying they were open to order at 1002 and had ordered by 1006 so one of the early ones. However, I am waiting to see if it has the air suspension and 4680s as it shows delivery as mid 2022 I assume it will come from Berlin. Fingers crossed

    Tesla Model 3 UK Manual Towbar Accessory Limit of 55Kgs

    Reading on other forums some drivers in the eu safe stating their tow hitch nose weight to be 91kg - why is it so much lower in the uk? The cars are the same I thought so is it a regulatory thing? also I bought a Thule velospace xt 4 specifically to carry 4 bikes but if the weight is 55kg, we...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    I’m in the same boat (and on the same boat) it seems. Was collecting at 1400 on Friday 4 December from Thorpe park and now 1400 on 9 December. Gutted as we just handed our lease back and have taken this Friday off. My wife’s in teaching and it worked out well with class schedules. Now all needs...

    @nicklast1994, @Morriscoombes, @Pemple, @Eddie1218, @jjlatval, @Dinsdale, @To3OrNotTo3 – thank you all for sharing your delivery date estimates and looks like we are all in the same boat (metaphorically and literately). It’s a good sign for Tesla demand as it seems that there are lot of people...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Would be interested to hear from other uk folk ordering LR model 3. I ordered mine on 5 October but am not showing a VIN allocation yet. I spoke with Tesla and I’ve missed the first shipment as they are all allocated. So waiting in the second ships due in late November / early December...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    It is interesting that some are commenting the 21 October earnings call may bring further options. Wonder what these could be and does anyone else think it is odd that Tesla would do a refresh in multiple stages? What am I saying?!? this is Tesla they don't follow normal rules. From the look...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Overall, I am loving all of the changes. I also hope that the UK is an early delivery destination as it would be great to get this soon and be one of the early market drop-offs. My order is still showing as estimated delivery - Yep, blank. Does this mean I am way at the back of the queue...

    Looks like that was a rumour, which is a shame if that is the case... but a nice surprise for when we receive the cars and it has it :)

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    I stand corrected, I am though quite surprised at the dramatic difference from a longer more dynamic testing approach. That’s a bit of a worry for EVs that have recently come to the market with way lower EPA range, it means they’ll a,so be a third less under WLTP and then worse again in real...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    It has only been updated for markets with the refresh being delivered to and ready for orders. For the rare occasions EU get a gift ahead of the US. But you’ll get it too once we have tested it all out and ironed out any issues you have to allow us an occasional jump ahead... admittedly it’s...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Does it reset your place in the queue? I think I might hold and see what gets assigned. I should be able to change at that point. Doesn’t seem to be any LR / performance inventory in the UK so hopefully okay to be in line for the refresh

    It’s official in the uk too... https://twitter.com/bernies04690287/status/1317001945467465728?s=21 though interestingly aero wheels remain and no mention of auto dimming side mirrors. Good jump in range though 360 miles and 4.2 seconds for the LR and 352 and 3.1 seconds for the P. Quite an...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Has anyone in the uk or Europe actually been allocated an M VIN so far? Or know of anyone having been allocated one? On the model 3 mainly, but interesting to see for each model. on our order it is showing the estimated delivery date as blank and no VIN details. Maybe a sign there is no...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    It all does seem a bit odd. You’d think there’d be some sort of announcement or change on the website to specify the changeover date. I get the Osborne effect, but in reality some people prefer the current one and would accelerate their purchase. Others could make an informed choice on the new...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    I've taken the chance and uploaded my licence as I have seen a few M's filtering through to other Tesla orders (according to other forums). If I get assigned an L VIN, I'll phone up the SA and delay a bit longer. Fingers crossed though I'll get assigned an early M though now. The main reason...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    I'm in a similar boat to you. I placed my order for a model 3 last Monday. I have paid the £100 but not completed the order - I have paused at the stage of uploading my drivers licence so as to hold the order until the new M VIN number is available for the 2021. When you contacted Tesla to...

    I'm in the agonising situation of starting the order process last week and having paid my deposit last Monday. I have not completed the order process fully as yet and have it held at the final stage. Should I pull the trigger or hold a bit longer is the big question I am asking myself? Or...

    Interesting news. The updates look cool for sure and I really want the power trunk - so much. Easier for shopping and kids stuff. I placed an order on Monday this week. I haven’t competed the order fully - I have paid my £100 and am at the stage of loading in my driving licence photos. Should...

    Ordered my X but can’t find the bike and ski rack they advertise

    Hi there, great forum. I’m in the U.K. and so need advice from U.K. or EU fellow Tesla owners. I need to get a 4 bike rack and 4 ski rack for my X. I wanted to order the Yakima swing rack with the 4 bike and separate ski rack, but I can’t find it anywhere in the U.K. this is the solution...

    A little worried before I order my raven X

    The other question I should have asked was regarding FSD. I have added it, but may remove it and save the money. I understand can be added later. Or do people think it’s more cost effective to do when initially ordering?

    A little worried before I order my raven X

    Ordered a performance with ludicrous in white, with white and carbon interior. Stuck to the standard 20”s as they’ll likely get curbed as we get used to the size. I was disappointed that I can’t get the 20” in carbon or black as that’s what we really wanted but seems to be discontinued. I...

    A little worried before I order my raven X

    Think you’re right. We’re likely to bite the bullet and get a Raven X. It’s just the size concern now as we’re in the U.K. and it’s a big vehicle. Not worried about roads other than 6’6” restrictions. More concerned about parking and parking dings. Does it stick out massively when parallel...

    A little worried before I order my raven X

    Thanks all, massively appreciated. The comments are hugely helpful. I think on (3) it’s scaremongering and I am siding with the view that it’s safe and certainly lesser of the two evils between electric and gas. On size, it’s a shame it’s not two inches narrower. We have a couple of 6’6”...

    A little worried before I order my raven X

    Hi there, What an awesome forum and source of info. I have to say though it has worried me a bit reading of the quality issues. We are about to order a new Tesla X performance with ludicrous and EAP, 6 seats in white. I have held back reading the reviews here and I have three concerns which...
