    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Hi all, has anyone experienced an issue communicating with Hypervolt 2.0 unit? Mines been working fine, but today is stuck on lock. When I try to unlock through the app it gives me the message "There was a problem communicating with your charger, please verify your network". Slight panic! I've...

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    Thank you, yes I had tried that and it didn't do anything. Seems like that might be a US-only feature for some reason!?

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    Still got a massive smile on my face every time I sit in the car, let alone drive it! Have now had all my texts and emails from Tesla confirming delivery experience is complete and to enjoy my car! One question I have, not sure if anyone else has had this issue - if I have my kids in their...

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    How on earth were you spending £100 a week on fuel doing only 20 miles a day!? Based on your usage the EV tariff paired with a battery actually sounds ideal, a hot-tub powered via battery charged from cheap overnight rate would likely save you a bundle. Obviously an investment up front, but...

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    And now, after only 5 hours - it has appeared in the app! Not sure if that is because I just connected it to my home Wifi a short while ago? Either way, delighted with that! PS it only had 7 miles on the clock when delivered, now it's 15 :)

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    So I had a tracking text from the driver and they arrived bang in the ETA. All over in 2 mins! Handed me my keys, said that all his deliveries were private leases from people with car allowances, to enjoy, and off he went! To my eye the car is perfect - can't see any panel gaps or paint...

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    Question please - I am expecting delivery of my MSM LR this afternoon (v v excited!!!) And have seen people on this thread refer to a 'checklist'. However I can't seem to find a definitive checklist on this site (used search function) or elsewhere using Google - so could someone please share...

    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Hi, it was mainly due to the fact it was in stock with my installer and had all the features I want. Plus I really like the look of it, compares well with the Tesla Gen 3. Obviously would be nice to have the auto port-opener, but I can happily live without that. My general feeling was I could...

    Home Charge Points Discussion and Suggestions [megathread]

    I also struggled with this. I obviously hit Google and YouTube too, but there is definitely a lack of guides on the specific options and the benefits/drawbacks to each. I would recommend making a list of what is important to you - for example being able to set times charging using the charger...

    9 days until delivery and today I received my VIN and reg number. Can sort insurance now, another step closer!

    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Ah, perfect - thanks so much for the rapid reply. Had been stressing that they burned £150 worth of electricity somehow during the installation! Either that or I had a unit that was used previously. Appreciate it!

    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Hey everyone, had my Hypervolt installed a few days ago and it looks great! I installed the app and paired it with my unit, but I'm a little concerned that I haven't even used it yet (M3LR doesn't arrive until 30/11) and it's showing a large expenditure already?

    What ICE would you preserve?

    I'd probably save the Mercedes AMG C63. One of my mates had one until quite recently and I've driven it a few times - absolutely brilliant fun. That or a 350z - RWD, fast, great handling. Both very thirsty cars!

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    I put an order in and paid admin fee with Carparison on 14th October, had finance agreed and counter-signed with funder (Lex) 15th October, RN received from Carparison on 21st October, delivery text from Tesla on 28th October. My car is being delivered 30th November to my home. To be honest the...

    UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations

    I just had my Hypervolt installed by Bumblebee. I'd say excellent sales, less than ideal service. The comms has been poor both over email and phone at times. The electrician who fitted was friendly enough, but didn't have a clue how to set up the app/etc post-install. The install itself looks...

    Having my Hypervolt installed tomorrow by Bumblebee, all being well. Shall report back on how it goes! M3LR due to arrive in 2 weeks, so would be great if it all goes smoothly!

    Hi all - Need some Tesla advice & have a few questions...

    I had a similar dilemma in terms of purchase v lease. In the end I have leased a M3LR. The reason being that I think in 3-4 years time the market will be flooded with Model 3s and that battery and charging tech will have moved on. I expect in 4 years time their will be a massive choice of EVs...

    If not this Tesla what?

    I test drove ID3, e-Niro, Kona, ZS EV, and also looked at ID4, MG5, Ioniq 5, used iPace, before settling on M3LR (which I also test drove). The reasons for my choice in no particular order are: range for the price, technology available as standard, looks of the car itself, fun, ease and speed of...

    Can anyone advise when you find out the reg for your car? Obviously I want to sort out insurance prior to delivery day so I can (battery state dependent) take it for a spin immediately!

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    +1 I got the original text late one week, replied with my address, got nothing back. I called the delivery number someone shared in this thread the following day, Tesla confirmed they received my address. I then got the text from them a few days later.

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    Latest update from me is that I had another text from Tesla today confirming same delivery date as text last week (30th Nov) but this time confirming car would be delivered to me and stating my address. Had assumed I would pick it up from the Edinburgh SC, so I think a bonus getting it...

    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Hi Mark, thanks! That's good to know. It certainly looks nice haha. I've made my application to EST for the additional grant we get in Scotland which is first step after receiving quote, I'm told that installation can be arranged a few days after approval of that grant. Approval process is...

    Thanks, my installer said he could apply to my grid supplier to upgrade the fuse on my behalf if I decide I want to do that. Thank you - this is really reassuring! I think I will go for it :)

    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Hi all, hope this is the right thread! I'm looking at setting up a Hypervolt charge point at my house (I live in Edinburgh). Can anyone let me know if this is suitable with a Model 3 LR and I'd be really grateful for any forum hints and tricks that would be useful for a complete novice like me...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    I know, I'm absolutely astonished! To be honest I don't even need the car right now, had thought to myself it will probably be delayed and quietly thought I'd get it late this year/early next. Like Xmas has come early!!! Buzzing! I replied quickly but heard nothing back - will try calling them...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    I got the text with 30th November delivery date about 30 mins ago. I ordered M3LR in midnight silver pretty much exactly 2 weeks ago, got RN from lease company 1 week ago. The text is first contact from Tesla direct. No VIN as yet. Excited! Need to pull my finger out and get charger installed!!

    Woo hoo! After emailing my leasing broker only a couple of hours ago to chase, they've just confirmed order in with Tesla and responded with my RN number.

    That doesn't sound good - may I ask who the leasing broker is? Have you spoken to them at all? It may be that you can get them to chase on your behalf.

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    Yeah I got a link to a portal for Lex last week. I had to register my account with them and then in the portal it had my finance docs which I signed. Shortly after received a counter-signed doc via email. Got in touch with lease company and they have put the order in to Tesla - so just hoping to...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    So after 2.5 years of ogling used Model S and new Model 3, this week I have signed up to a M3LR lease. Anyone got any idea on timelines? It's funded by Lex Autolease via Carparison and today I have paid admin fee and had all countersigned finance docs completed and returned back to me. Guess...

    Moderator comment - thread renamed for clarity from "Model 3 and AP/EAP" Hey everyone! I've been lurking on here for a couple of years, time we'll spent convincing my wife we need a Tesla ;) She is now almost onboard, hence I have my old ICE car for sale and I'm looking at the best Tesla for...

    Early 2014 Model S Buyers Guide

    Hi all, I'm swinging again from getting a new M3 to going for a used S. I was wondering though, there are some quite well-priced S 85 models out there currently but I know that generation was pre-AP. What I don't know is what it does have - is it just traditional cruise control, or adaptive? Is...

    Hi all, quick question regarding luxury vehicle tax - is this generally included in the cost of the lease, or are you still liable as the driver to pay it on top?

    Model 3 SR+ - Hidden costs?

    Hi all, I'm coming close to agreeing with the Mrs to go for a SR+. I couldn't tell you last time I did over 200 miles in a day, so range will not be an issue and frankly I can't afford to take the jump to LR anyway! On the affordability point, I'm trying to factor in all the costs I'll need to...
