I started sentry from the phone app so wasn’t near the car. It might have been something else I guess but one minute was getting huge charging speeds, the started sentry and got much reduced speeds, then turned off sentry and got much higher speeds! I can only conclude it was sentry on the...

My first supercharger experience today at Membery services was excellent! Over 600mph. I did notice that if I turned sentry mode on it dropped to about 60kw but turning that off pushed the charge rate up again. I guess it really slows down the charge rate!

3 months for a Porsche with no delay to the delivery date? That wasn’t my experience, you must’ve been very lucky.

my frunk wouldn't open and we had our wellies stuck in there which we need daily to walk the dog! I phoned Tesla service who said they'd get Brooklands to call me back. I didn't hear anything so the next day I drove the 1hr to Brooklands (without an appointment) and they took the car in, opened...

I'm laughing just thinking about it! :D

just sit back and relax and in a few days time you'll be in your new Model 3 and all of this will be forgotten. :)

thanks guys! will give rainbow road a go.

I only picked up my car yesterday and this morning on the school run treated my kids (13 and 11) to fart mode (I hadn't told any of the family that fart mode existed). it had us giggling away. we just now got back from picking them up from school and my wife was in the car so I thought she...

Never seen any. I decided to swap my M3P+ order for a LR AWD. It’s more than fast enough and I saved some money in the process.

I got impatient and swapped my order for an inventory car. Was then only a couple of weeks wait. Not quite instant gratification but was enough to satisfy me.

as stated above I picked up my black/black LR AWD 19" Sports wheels today at Dartford. I was the only person picking up so had a one-2-one handover which went very well. I had a small issue with my phone being able to be used as a key but I'm not worried and will use the key-card for the time...

I used the RN number for my payments as that doesn't change. I made a £1k payment on Friday and the balance this morning and neither were showing on my account when I picked up the car this afternoon. I just had to show them and email them proof that the funds had left my account and they were...

I paid £80k for a Jag I-Pace and that didn't come with floor mats either! so it's not just Tesla. Amazingly, though, the Porsche Panamera 4-hybrid (where everything with Porsche is an optional extra) the floor mats came free.

cheers. I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow as well and I agree about needing to check in the source code! it's got to be trivial for them to put a "outstanding balance" field on the webpage to show how much is left to pay. :rolleyes:

did your transfer appear on the source code yet? I am due to pick up my car on Monday. I had 2 cars on my account and was waiting for one to be cancelled and the deposit from that transferred to the one I was keeping. at the beginning of this week my final invoice appeared but the second car was...

I ordered from inventory after I was told by Tesla that my original M3P+ order might not arrive until mid-december or possibly mid-january. so I phoned them up and changed it to a LR AWD in inventory. the car was sat at Southampton, hence the quick(er) delivery. I suggest constantly refreshing...

I also had a call saying I could pickup tomorrow or Saturday instead of Monday but I just can’t make it. Although I might try to juggle some stuff around tomorrow if possible.

I'll be there Monday to pick up mine! :)

fair point. I apologise for not searching prior to asking. my brain said "I'm on a subject about insurance and I was asked by LV if the car had a tracker and I didn't know so I'll just type it here" without engaging any other type of logic. :oops:

just got off the phone with LV who I have a policy with for my Jaguar I-Pace that got sent back recently. an extra £129 on top of what I paid for the Jag. I pointed out that the Model 3 was nearly £30k less than the Jag but got told some scripted response about "lots of factors when deciding...

I'm not worried about the multiple "final invoices" as it could be something as simple as when an order goes through a new step in the order/delivery process or a small change is made somewhere in their software a new invoice is generated automatically. it's different to how a traditional car...

I also did it over the phone. didn't take long. the person had to send an email to me to confirm the vehicle I was after to which I responded while on the phone and then it was all done. I didn't have to cancel the existing order they just swapped cars over.

Within 2 weeks for me (assuming my delivery happens as arranged)

Black is the best colour. Period! I don’t like white cars at all. Actually don’t like bright coloured cars in general. obviously just my opinion! :)

Ignore the delivery date on the final invoice. You’ll get a separate notification of the actual delivery date. The one on my final invoice was the very next day after ordering (stateing 5/11) and I knew the car was in Southampton so no chance of that! I got a delivery date email a day or two...

Not sure if this has been posted yet (apologies if it has!): 2020 Tesla Model 3 beats Hyundai IONIQ to become most efficient EV produced - Electrek anyone know if there are any h/w our physical changes between 2019 and 2020 models?

you surprise me. ;)

had a Jaguar I-Pace for 3 months before I sent it back for a refund. I'm currently in rented accommodation so I couldn't get a charger installed so I was charging it with a 3-pin plug from a socket running under the garage door. never had any issues and so is definitely possible. I do work from...

it is a small world indeed! are you having to increase your PV array to accommodate the new Model 3 charging? (assuming this is your first EV that is!) it's a great self-build blog btw. I love your ingenuity to get everything working and your hands-on approach. i think I'll be a bit more...

good luck! (out of interest, are you the Jeremy Harris self-builder who's blog I'm currently reading?)

I noticed that there are new inventory cars in stock (New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla). I started a new thread but realised I should've just posted in this thread. sorry. a number of 2020 SR+ models for those waiting and who don't have a VIN yet. good luck.

Hi all, just noticed (because I can't stop refreshing the page!) that there are a number of new cars on inventory including 2020 M3 SR+ models. New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla for those waiting without a VIN might be a way to get your car a bit quicker. enjoy. :)

Thanks for the photo. Looks great!

what does the carbon wrap look like with a black car and black interior (I assume you've got the black interior as your signature just says Black SR+)? I've looked at the colours on the AO website and I've narrowed down the list to a few options and carbon is on that list.

I’m picking up an inventory LR AWD soon with VIN 423xxx. should I be worried at all? Tesla said it was at Southampton, I assume it’s not been sat there for a few months and was just held at Fremont for a bit. Hope it wasn’ta customer reject or anything like that! i guess I’ll go over it with...

Did you get stung by import duty? That’s the only thing putting me off from ordering direct from the states.

just to counter all this negativity, I have phoned (rather than emailed) Tesla delivery and have received excellent service each time. Granted they didn't tell me when my car would be here but were able to tell me some information. when I decided that I didn't want to wait and ordered from...

a quick warning that once you start down the rabbit hole you won't be able to stop!

New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla but you won't find any Performance cars on there! I know, I've been refreshing every 30 minutes or so for the past few weeks! good luck though and some may appear once the current ships are sailing and cars are assigned to customers etc.

so, after ordering the LR AWD Black/white with 18" aero wheels I noticed a few hours later that there was a LR AWD Black/Black with 19" Sport Wheels just put in inventory! I really wanted the black interior and so I put a deposit down on that and now I have 2 cars in my Tesla account. but I...

yeah, it was possible but I just couldn't take the risk of not having a car until mid-january. if Tesla had been honest and more realistic with the potential delivery date then I could've hired a car for 3 months when I ordered originally but the website and the store at White City said 6 - 8...

it was really easy. I just phoned them up and they sorted it out on the phone. :) although, now I'm having regrets as the M3P+ with those 20" grey wheels and red brake callipers do look good. :rolleyes: only kidding. I've no doubts I'll love the LR AWD and if I don't then I have 7 days to...

I spoke to Tesla this morning and they said that my car (M3P+)hadn't been allocated yet and none of the ships that have left port have a car allocated for me. the earliest might be the ship due to arrive towards the end of November with a potential delivery of mid-december but going on others'...

hi all. I ordered a M3P+ mid-october and was told I'd get a VIN within a couple of weeks. it's now been a couple of weeks and no VIN so I called Tesla and the guy I spoke to said that if I didn't have an allocation then I'm now looking at mid-December to mid-January for delivery. he said that...

Hi KevGav, this is my first post here. I promise I'm not a troll! I've ordered an M3P+ and have been reading this forum and only now, after reading your post, have I felt compelled to write my first post as I wanted to share with you my experience with the Jaguar I-Pace. I bought an HSE I-Pace...
