I’ve seen multiple feedback on this point, both here and on the Owners Group FB page. LV have consistently accepted that the Tesla app tracking satisfies their needs - istr that some people have had that in a mail/text as well. I think, given the sheer numbers of folk who have been told the...

My P- is described as “Model 3 Performance AWD” on the V5 and “Model 3 Long Range All-wheel Drive Performance” on the Tesla invoice. MSM is translated as “Grey” on the V5.

Unless you have 3 phase supply to your house then you will be restricted to around 32A which will give a bit over 7Kw/hr charging, whichever charger you choose. That’s not really any issue in practise as it still gives easy overnight charging. The government grant is available to “Smart”...

yes, this was the situation I had in mind when I raised the question. We have friends we visit who live on a 30 mph road with no streetlights. Much better to leave the car showing some parking lights. Our previous BMW mini and Mercedes could do that easily. Bit more awkward now but at least...

Surprised by that from AC. Our experience with two cars we sold to them was that they gave us the quoted price and didn’t haggle. There was a mark on the front of the merc which I hadn’t spotted but the guy just said that they didn’t expect used cars to be perfect and were happy with normal wear...

Another vote for Arnold Clarke - much better price for my four year old Merc than anywhere else I could find (within a few hundred of the Parkers guide private sale price, which I always feel is optimistic anyway). They have two or three Mercedes dealers so they tend to keep mercs in-house. I...

Anyone know how you can change the time zone on the date stamp on the video clips? Mine always comes as US time which is a bit odd sitting in the UK, and would make it harder to use the clips as defence. The time on the car itself is right.

I've got the same situation - I've set the update bit on the screen to "advance" but nothing improved. I eventually sent a service request in form the app, got an appointment, which they then swiftly cancelled telling me that all software updates are rolled out in batches so I will receive V10...

I ordered it with the charger. Don’t know where the charger supplier sourced it, I’m afraid. I do know they are not cheap though. My quote was increased by about £160 to cover the extra cost of the tethered cable vs the normal EO mini unit.

That's an 8m cable, btw - car usually goes onto the drive towards, so it has to be able to reach all the way back.

Just bought a decent storage hook from Screwfix. It’s neat enough for me, and I prefer the the tethered solution so I don’t have to faff around getting cables into and out of the car.

The rule of thumb on this is that if you want to keep the car for a longer period then buy it outright, if you want to change within 2-4 years then lease/PCP. The reason for that is depreciation - the shorter ownership period typically contains most of the depreciation, and the scale of that...

I'm using a Samsung FIT Plus 256 GB Type-A USB 3.1 flash drive - early days but seems fine so far. Reformatted it to FAT32, added the teslacam root folder and it seems to be happily recording away. £50 from Amazon, no adapter required, and at 256Gb I don't think there will be any capacity issues.

I wasn't leasing but all I needed for the OLEV grant was proof of the order.

Still juggling with this. I’m attracted by the EDF deal, with the extended low rate/KWh periods, including all weekend. But whilst their off peak is 6p cheaper than our current (ho ho) supplier, the general rate is 3p higher. We do virtually all our EV charging at home, but the complicating...

Got an EO with a tethered type 2 cable. Very happy with it - dead easy to use and quite neat

Thanks - been digging in to this. To leave the front and rear sidelights on when the car is locked you have to get out of the car and then lean over to change the lights from auto to sidelights (shown as a symbol on my car, not actually called “parking lights”). Then the car will lock and leave...

No, where you leave lights on when the car is parked somewhere dark; previous cars I have had have allowed me to leave say offside front sidelight and rear light on so the vehicle is visible.

as above - does anyone know whether M3 has parking lights and if so how they are operated? Can’t find anything in the manual but it would seem a strange omission?

Just talking to staff here at WD - aiming for 300, apparently. But ours is delayed til somewhere between 4 and 5 (appointment was 1.00pm). Staff doing well with a huge challenge

We are there at 1.00pm. Looking forward to it!

Thanks - fortunately I’m already with LV so it’s a simple swap. My policy renews early November- very convenient!

Not sure how your online platform works, but with Nationwide I was able to do a single CHAPS payment from the online portal - no need to go into the bank.

Likewise - 1.00pm collection at WD tomorrow, got my reg number at about 11.00 this morning.

I’ve got the EO mini with a tethered 8m Type 2 cable. Looks neat but I can’t comment on functionality yet as I don’t get the car til tomorrow. Tesla charger was a non starter for me as it doesn’t get the OLEV grant. You have to be “smart” these days...

Now got a delivery date for my M3 LR AWD performance (think it's a P-; has the 18" wheels?). Picking it up from Heathrow on Friday 27/9, so 39 days from placing the order.

Anyone collected one yet that has the forward and reverse warning sounds?

Followed up with Tesla today, having had the final invoice last week with VIN and a scheduled delivery date of 24 September...paid the bill but heard nothing since. So I called - they have matched me with a car and it will "definitely be delivered this month", but at the moment they don't know...

Didn’t want to bother with multiple payments, so just did a single online CHAPS payment which my bank charged £20 for.

Yes - the guy did seem keen to confirm that it was a Heathrow or Dartford collection rather than elsewhere.

First post on this forum, from someone hopefully about to become a Model 3 owner! Had a LR, MSM and black/white interior on order from mid August. Got a call late last week saying that there was no delivery on the horizon for that spec, but I could change to a Performance, same colour way (and...
