Having driven the MIC LR for almost 5 months now (and since I started the original thread) I thought you might like to know my personal experience. I would say the MIC car is noticeably better than my previous USA made vehicle. It just feels screwed together better. And as far as the battery is...

Well I never. I went onto WBAC just now and low and behold when you manually enter your details (because the DVLA reg process brings up the LR as discussed) they are offering not just the performance upgrade model 3 but also ‘SALOON Performance AWD 4dr Auto (2019 to 2019)‘ which I suspect is the...

It’s very odd. Because as I say Tesla emailed to say it was registered with DVLA as a LR AWD Performance. But clearly that is not correct. Also I checked autotrader and there is one other M3P- and the dealer kindly checked and confirmed his was also registered with DVLA in the same way as mine...

Yes as per the email from Tesla. But when they do a search (WBAC/Motorway/Dealers) it’s missing the reference to Performance. Albeit Tesla have stated they registered it exactly as you describe. Obviously this effects valuation. One poster above has said it is normal for the stealth version to...

I did wonder my google searches on how best to sell were coming up with apple retailers

Oh yes. Doh. No idea how to correct that.

Just off the phone to Tesla. They say it’s registered on their system as a LR performance (Without the performance pack). Moreover they say and I quote “this was registered with the DVLA as a Long Range All Wheel Drive Performance“. I’m not sure where to go with it now. Tesla have kindly...

Here’s the thing. And I wish I hadn’t mentioned to them now. But mine is the MP3- sometimes called the performance stealth or limited edition performance. But Tesla have registered the vehicle as the LR and the dealers so far have taken the view that it would have to be marketed as a LR with...

Thanks for all the advice. I’m just waiting to hear back from one of the above suggestions so fingers crossed. Motorway seams to think the car is a LR not the performance and came out with an offer accordingly. (Apparently not unusual depending on how Tesla registered the car). Anyway I know if...

Never used this system before and wondered if anyone had any experience of it ? I’m in the Guildford area if you could recommend anywhere. I’m reluctant to use auto trader having experienced a few ‘unusual’ characters last time. (Of course I’ll start some research but the paperwork on the work...

How ever the range displayed in the battery is calculated (and I did think temperature affected this) it is calibrated to whatever Tesla chooses. In the uk EPA. What I find strange is that few LR owners seem to get the battery to display EPA max range even on new vehicles. My performance...

No. No choice. Except perhaps to wait if they are moving to the 82 KWh. I assume the EPA/WLTP rating was measured using the LG not just the more widely used Panasonic? I only ask because everyone seems to charge the LR to 100 SOC (at some point) but don’t get the EPA rating miles. They assume...

Of course I don’t think for one second it is personal . It could be for several reasons. For example, they (the German/Dutch etc Tesla owners) may be more ’on’ this issue. Where as we like to talk about ‘accessories’. But more transparency would be good, particularly if you were considering...

I think one of the posters on the master thread said Tesla had stopped using LG. It may be that the last of the LG batteries are being used on the UK market before we too get the 82 Panasonic like continental Europe. One of the German posters said that Tesla were making it clear over there that...

Yes again. Certainly when I picked up my model 3 there was no COC provided. I had to work out what the Europeans we’re talking about on that thread. They (at least some of the EU countries) do get them. And think they’re important. I am curious to see how may UK customers have had the 353 EPA...

Perhaps. It did feel as though the European customers was all over this subject and then I looked on the UK forum and not a peep really. No wonder they’re (Tesla) are shipping them here. Of course I don’t think the USA ever had LG.

I’m due to swap my 69 MP3- for a LR next month (company car) and so dipped back on to the forums. There I stumbled across the Tesla motor club thread which had a long (69 page) thread on the subject of Panasonic V LG batteries. If I understand the gist of that thread, and I admit I only skim...

Mine is persistently there. Both sides. Although not 50% of the surface area. Hence Tesla refusing to correct.

Exactly. It's a made up number I guess. I also suspect it's a common 'fault' which is keeping them busy. Too busy perhaps. Why should we accept any ? Do all new cars experience this ? I doubt it.

Had my car booked in to fix the condensation in the rear lights. I made the appointment over a month ago but today received a text from Tesla to say it was within limits. Or words to that effect. I'm dissatisfied tbh. It's not bad but it's both lights and has been there constantly pretty much...

Much appreciated. I think I might get myself some of that before the premiums sky rocket/they won't insure us when all the model 3 claims start.

Just checked and there are quite a few companies offering this insurance. Can I ask who you went with and why please ?

Hmmm. I hadn't thought about insurance. Anyway I've pm'd alternateflux and we'll see what he says. Thanks.

I might like to try and sort this out myself first. Its probably not as bad as it seems in the photo. Does this site have the facility to private message and I will try pistonsdead direct and ask if he has the correct uk code. Its annoying the stuff originally suggested isn't available in the...

I'll have to do a bit of research. Amazon can't ship the product to the uk.

Thanks very much for the reply Brian. I shall order and should it ever stop raining I will sand it gently then apply sparingly. 18" aero btw.

Wondering if anyone who has had cause to repair their model 3 wheel rim could recommend a product/technique for repair? Something that exactly matches the rim colour. (Mine is quite minor but boy are they easy to damage)

I raised this on another thread yesterday and someone posted a response from Tesla to the effect that the units are semi sealed and condensation is normal. I'll try and attach the reply.

Fair enough. I guess. Thanks for passing that on.

Ok. So it's not normal and I shouldn't accept it.

In a similar vain. Anyone get their rear light mist up after rain like the attached photo ? Ive also got a slight misalignment on the frunk but I fiddled with those adjustments inside and it's improved that. I can still just about detect it but my kids say I'm insane. I think the car has made me...

My original collection date was, I think, the 22nd. So it may or may not have been registered already. If i collect on the 3rd and its a 19 plate I wont be too fussed. Planning on keeping the car indefinitely. I have an expectation that the hardware (battery in particular) will be just about...

With you. So by making my collection date in early September i wont necessarily get a 69. It's a little academic for me as 31st would have been difficult anyway so im probably going to ask for the 1st or maybe 3rd. We shall see. Thanks for the reply.

Im out and about at the moment. Hence the half arse initial post. Think it was teslagb delivery team or something like that. The point i was making is things are moving. To go from no vin to a delivery date in less than a week. Can i ask a question having never bought a new car. The...

Ha. Distracted! So email received 5 days ago saying no vin. Email received last night with collection date in a few days followed by telephone call today! Advised them i cant make the appointment. They said cars were arriving with no matching customers. Seemed happy to rearrange at my convenience.

For info. I recieved an email about 5 days ago replying to a query on

OK. Thanks for the reply. It was probably just that particular Tesla staff members personal experience rather than anything more sinister. It got me worried that Tesla weren't building the P -, perhaps assuming everyone would opt for the p+.

Quick question re the p - . As far as any one knows is this being delivered in numbers (relative to say the P +). Ordered P - 8th June. No vin etc but in response to a recent query regarding my order I got the impression from delivery that no P - or few p - had been arriving ?!
