    [UK] 2024.8.x

    My car (both my S and the previous 3) and my neighbours car also stutter at the same point on this part of the m4. travelling eastbound you go up the hill, past the first speed cameras and then before the next bridge (cutbush lane?) it tries to stop. Think i've worked it out that the car spots...

    LV hiking insurance prices again

    Wife parked on a bollard in march. Awaiting new panel (left side doors in one module) somes from shanghai. Fix date expected first week of sept. Least my white m3 looks different to the others. £7k repair cost predicted. 3mph accident. Motor torqued up and bolllard went into it like hot knife...

    Back end slipping/strange for some owners

    Me to. SR+ owner. Had plenty of rwd cars and litre sportsbikes. Car is feeling different in the rear left traction when driving hard out of tight bends. I have noticed it 3- 4 times doing something that feels different to how its been todate on slippy wet greasy roads That said i thought it...

    Server Error 500 and what options to avoid potential issues

    or use the key fob. i have no regrets buying one. have to leave the house with a door key anyhow so having a small bunch of keys plus phones hardly a chore. can remap it it next tesla when i upgrade, and i like it can open boot, bonnet, charge socket as well as the doors.

    Auto Wipers are awful

    i was driving my SO’s vignale smax yesterday. it really demonstrates how crap the model 3 is at this time of year (dark evenings and drizzle). i get that this doesnt happen in texas or california but we have to commute in this stuff for months. probably am going to go mustang-e next (18months...

    4 year old Model S or 1 year old Model 3?

    i think i can answer this. i have been driving a 3 sr+ since march 2020. the last few weeks i have been driving a 2018 75d model s whilst my father is incapacitated :-( when in the s the things i like/notice are: -it is huge -its is very much wider than the 3 and i fear kerbing +it has fsd/eap...

    London to Manchester without stopping? [SR+]

    from london to manchester makes more sense to pick a SC north of birmingham to arrive at a lower SoC and thus top up faster. also to set that as the destination to preheat for even faster top up. ive managed that route in the SR+ with a near 5min pee brake top up. but it will bweather...

    London to Manchester without stopping? [SR+]

    ive done wokingham to near manchester airport [a329m,m4,a404,m40, m42, toll road,m6] in my sr+ in one go. i did a lot of close drafting behind trucks and it was a tad squeeky. my destination had a 22kwh charger so wasnt worried about not being able to refil. that said. prefer being able to...

    the app icons status or action...

    I do sometimes. Got home with 2% once. I am lucky to live in an area very well served with superchargers, (m3,m4, Reading) i can charge on my drive and the local fossil garage has 2x 50KWh DC as well. So pretty much all directions of inbound travel have emergency options if ive got it wrong.

    the app icons status or action...

    Yes i meant bonnet. i bought the fob in the end as the phone key/app inconsistent. Much happier. Ref the pictograms i’d have stuck with Unlock/Locked, Open/Closed,Fan On/Off all as action buttons rather than a mix of status and action. I know it’s a small thing but a few times ive had to just...

    Model 3 KeyFob to unlock charge port

    my wife has just been lightly pressing on the charge port (cos that what she does on her car) and it opens (she has her phone key in pocket). id been showing her the button on the charger and if its powered it opens. ah stupid she said just press here... m3sr.

    the app icons status or action...

    so i have had the model 3 for 18months, and my father a model s for almost 3 years. nearly every day i’m bugged by the app. the boot open button appears to be an action button to open the boot as it shows the result of a press and not the status of the boot. next to it is the lock icon where...

    thats really interesting, what are the ethics of disabling a sensor without telling the driver? seems a bit dumb to me. mine was alarming all the time so i switched it off/lowest setting.

    Firmware 2020.44.25

    I think my getting logged out was being caused by logging in in other apps. If the kids put the sonos on at home i got logged out in the car. Changed to a family sub and it seems to not happen anymore.

    Referral Supercharger Miles when you have a leased company car

    this is really helpful! mine is leased and arval did use my provided code. In my first 7 supercharging sessions i got billed for all, but decided its 100quid so not worth sweating about and of course it is the lease companies car. however my last two sessions have been £0 cost and the credit...

    Optimal cruising speed

    pretty much faster is worse is my experience. that said you’ll find yourself tracking the trip view graph and when you realise you have charge to spare to get to your destination you’ll drive faster. overall it’s worse if you drive with a lot of hard accelerations. much like your 9spd.

    Charged for supercharging even though I have referral miles

    joelly, perhaps the experience of trying to find my car when it went missing for a week between leaving the ship and when it finally got delivered soured me. spent too long on hold on multiple days and they were ultimately no use. impending lockdown was part of the problem then. will call...

    Charged for supercharging even though I have referral miles

    same here. mine is leased, though I used a referral number. the person's I used has their upside, but I can not see my miles in the loot box. also have been charged the three times I have used the supercharger network. haven't been arsed to go through the pain of trying to call them though...

    Collection day sanitising

    the virus particle is denatured by heat. Australia has hot weather but certainly isn't >28C everywhere on all surfaces. I agree with you though I mean get car HOT DRY heat and get the surfaces internally to max... that or park it on the drive for 14 days and stare at it.
