- The ID4 cabin is pretty nice. Feels a lot better put together than the M3. - I loved the M3 software but many parts of it still felt beta (see my other post for when lane changing almost killed me) - I am worried about charging. No big trips yet. Recent news (electric highway?) are giving me...

I didn't. A big part of the change was the extra size. R.e. being brave. I loved my M3, and the ID4 is pretty damn boring to drive and not as "fun" from a tech point of view. But as a family/touring car - it is arguably better.

Sorry, I've taken so long to come back. I wanted to get to know the ID4 better and also started a new job. I'll try and give a quick summary of how I compare the two. Drive: - The ID4 is much better at soaking up the bumps. Not just because the M3 is a firmer ride but the ID4 seems more...

R.e. the app can you have it completely keyless with the app? I've grown so used to that.

Thanks for all the great comments. I will come back once I have the 4. The tldr is mind over heart. If it was me on my own I'd have the 3 for sure. A bit more money I'd probably have both...

Up to 18 weeks but I expect closer to 12. I used drivethedeal so it ended up at about 38k with heat pump and towbar (that flips away nicely).

I love my M3. I will certainly miss the performance and handling. But here's my reasoning. - want something bigger, no Y in the UK and probably for some time. - noise isolation seems a lot better (my wife is hard of hearing so this is particularly important - lower performance might mean less...

There's some gap on the drivers side window but they seem unable to fix (much better on the passenger side). Not sure if I notice this more than others or if it's the wheels - assume I can get some professional deadening added to the other parts.

Thanks all!

Heatpump was for the milage but obvs a biggy. Boot opener is because mine isn't really opening now and I keep banging my head :) The thing I'm really looking for is noise reduction though - my wife doesn't have the best hearing and the car is much worse than I expected (it's worse on the...

I'm pretty sure there's no good answer to this but... can I get all the lovely 2021 upgrades on my 2019 model 3? Assuming the heat exchange is too difficult but automatic boot opener and better noise cancellation sound like they can be done officially (he says desperately).

Thanks - if the light flash is subtle that would explain the differences I've heard of. I thought I'd also seen threads where the car played music/audio of some kind but I may be spending too much time on reddit...

Moderator comment - thread renamed from "Sentry mode" Sentry mode for me seems to just mean the cameras are on. I've seen videos of the car making noises or flashing lights when people approach but my car just sits in silence. Maybe there are some options I need to enable but just wanted to see...

Thanks all!

I'm not really questioning build quality. There's plenty to love and hate about the 3. I'm really trying to understand if there's anything fundamentally different in the design. E.g. the 3 has later hardware and fewer physical buttons. Appreciate they're quite different cars but still interested...

Oh - and the other thing was HW3 and the screen.

It would definitely cost more, but I think within what I'm currently paying personally on pcp for a 3 (to be confirmed). Knowing if build from 3/X is better was really the ask. From what I understand build/design iteratively gets better with Tesla (they're relatively new). If your X is good then...

Too soon for the Y I think. Otherwise, I'd definitely get it!

It looks like my work might be about to offer leasing for electric cars. I currently have a SR+. With the new leasing option I "might" be able to get an X or 3 long range. I've got two children and we're thinking of getting a dog so the X would make sense. However I'm conscious how the 3 is the...

And now it's there. Oops.

I did that with the French driver (he thought I was nuts for just lifting the bar) and it wasn't there. I've never see any of that extra location detail either... will check again tomorrow and share an image.

That's what the other owner could see. Personally - I had no other details at the same stage (prior to setting it as a destination).

Supercharger. The French person I met had the code so something odd about my map. Do others see things like wifi and food details when tapping on a charger? I didn't try anything else. My experience of the non super charger networks has been nothing but terrible. Our hotel had a free charger -...

I saw those posts put apparently was no longer the case for others, plus I thought I got this in the UK and wondered if it's something specific about my setup. R.e. the gate I just pushed it up

Sorry for all the typo's - I was in a bit of a rush. > There seems to be a cap, in Europe at least, limiting V2 superchargers to 120kW. Even those marked as 150kW I thought I saw this in the UK too but didn't keep a record, unfortunately.

I've recently come back from one of the biggest drives done so far in our model 3 SR+. I drove from Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire to southern France (Bordeaux way). There were a few things I noticed on the way which I wanted to share. Autopilot almost caused a crash: On the approach to...

Funnily enough I did a reformat just after posting. Seems to have done it and no update required!

My dashcam viewer seems to be intermittently available. When I get back into the car and there's been some sentry events there's a 50/50 chance it'll say "view" on the alert. If it does, I can tap and watch, otherwise nothing. Guessing it's USB related but I've not had any warnings about the USB...

I've essentially used a moving window of 30 minutes from the last active event. E.g. if driving or something else which is considered active then poll more aggressively. After 30 minutes I switch to polling every 20 minutes. This is all used to build "workflows" which you can setup. You create...

Great. My aim is to poll more aggressively within 30 minutes of these types of events. Otherwise poll every 20 minutes. In addition, if something makes the status become online - I'll also start polling aggressively.

Appreciated! I have the early stages of an app - once it does one of the key things I'm looking for (putting my windows up once I park the car) I'll make sure to share! Love to know what you use to identify when the car can be polled. Currently, I have a list of "lively" events like driving and...

Yes - exactly that same risk you carry with other apps. This is why I was hoping for somebody local so we could meet. Once I've made more progress I can share what the app does and the trade-off might be worth it but at this stage, I'm just hoping to build a local network to help with testing...

To give a little more context - this would allow you to issue actions like closing your windows if they're left open after parking for x minutes.

I've been looking at the Tesla APIs and am thinking about trying something out (mostly for my own benefit, but hopefully for others if it's useful). I'll try and get it working for myself first but wanted to find out if there was anybody brave enough to sign in with their credentials. People...

God help people who don't own a Tesla. I'm driving to Norfolk tomorrow and have already signed up to 3 different services, many of which want to have credit on the account.

Yeah ☹️ I will have a closer look.

The car makes this noise https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y1USFfbbu4d2HHkc6 now. N sure I can drive to service centre during lockdown and they won't come to me!

Out of interest. What did you do to get a replacement? Right now I have a repair booked but it's going to take two weeks...

Thanks all. Warranty it is.

Apologies for missing the notifications. This was on the rear and at fairly slow motorway speeds like 65mph

The 13a cable that came with my 3 doesn't register for charging anymore. I can't see one on the shop. Other than the repair I have book does anybody have an idea how to get another one? Thanks!

Ah yes. Towbar. Great to be able to take all of the families bikes mind!

The drain with a bike rack on was insane. I'm assuming this is because of the impact on drag but it was crazy. Less than half the estimated mileage. More of an fyi than anything else!

It happens when we're in different towns so not a Bluetooth issue. Thanks though!

Don't think I have that set either. Let me triple check everything and do a test walk

So I've done this. Or at least think I have. I'll triple check.

This is not the same as Auto profile selection chooses incorrectly btw. This is when opening the vehicle with just a single device.

Hey all. I cannot for the life of me get both my wife's and my profile to be enabled automatically. Either it's always me or always her. I've been in and tapped on the little profile button for each device but it appears to apply to both. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Finally got a response. Sounds like they're just super busy. Might take 30 days...

I have over £2k owed to me as part of the part exchange. Haven't seen this money in any way yet. Anybody know who can I call to followup as they're literally ignoring all of my emails? Thanks!
