Hi all, I've just ordered a leased Model 3 LR (Highland). I currently pay for premium connectivity on my 2019 model 3, but wondering if the new car includes a free period of time before I need to start paying again. The lease company don't know, so do any of you knowledgeable people have any...

From the German (yes, they have 🤣 humour) MG4 group: ❓ I’m considering replacing my electric car (BEV) with a car that uses fossil fuels and I have a few questions?🤔 📌 I’ve heard that you can’t refuel gasoline cars at home at night while you’re sleeping? How often do you have to refuel...

So, I find myself traveling along the M4 towards bristol. Using TACC for about 50 minutes with no issues and I'm thinking hmmm this is good, perhaps TACC is finally sorted. Then suddenly, I get a fairly hard phantom brake event while was passing a car transporter carrying... Teslas.

I got an email from them this morning. I'd like to say at this point that I signed up but have never used them. Good grief, I certainly won't be now. See below our new revised GenieFlex tariff which will be introduced across the GeniePoint network: Please note, the...

Hi all, I've just had the Octopus Electric Universe card pop through my door - access to 300,000+ public chargers with a 'tap'. Anyone had any experience with this?

So, just as I thought it was safe.... Recently during daytime driving the auto wipers have, at long last been pretty good. At last, I thought, some progress. Until it rained last night. They would absolutely not turn on, and it was raining fairly hard and constantly. I checked that they...

Hi all, I recently found myself needing two new tyres due to bulges in the sidewalls (damn potholes). I could not find anywhere to get the T0 MichelinPilot Sport 4S, so I went for the same tyre but Porsche approved instead. A little cheaper, I can't tell any difference in noise levels, and...

So, after considering a BMW i4 M50 as my next car, I have now driven one and reviewed pretty much all of the available info on it, and decided it's not good enough. So, I'm now back to the Model 3 Performance as the front runner when my lease expires on my current M3P in December 22. I would...

Hi all, I think I recently heard that Tesla are making some changes to the Model 3 for 2022. Anyone know anthing about this? I ask as my lease expires June 22 and I'm now looking at what my next car will be. A part of me would like to stay with the Model 3, but the noise levels in my 2019...

So, I hit a pothole and now have both nearside tyres with a bulge in the sidewall. I would like to replace them with OEM Pilot Sport 4 S with the TO designation. Trouble is, it seems no one has them in stock. So I'm tempted to get the non TO version. Can anyone tell me what the difference...

Hi all, I posted in a recent thread that I may not get another Tesla model 3 due to the wind noise at speeds over 60, which I find more than annoying. So, my question is - the more recent builds (MIC perhaps), do they still suffer from this?

Well, I got a small surprise today. When I leased my M3P 18 months ago, I had an option to extend for a third year. On enquiring today, that option has been removed, so I need to hand it back on 8th December. Having looked at current lease costs, I can't find anything much less than about...

Hi all, I have a number of favourites that are no longer active in this country so no longer work, but I can't seem to get rid of them. Pressing on the little star to remove the favourite doesn't work - it looks like it does as it changes to a white fill in the star but the station stays...

Hi all, I've had a short conversation with a guy on YouTube regarding this. he's of the view that the new laminated windows make a difference, which I didn't think it did. what's people's views? Apologies for the title mis spell ut I can't see how to change it.

Hi all, Had the car for over a year, 16k miles and no problems. Yesterday, I washed the car, got in it to move it and as I pressed the brake pedal, the Frunk popped open (twice)and the screen became glitchy. I did a hard reboot, which fixed those issues. However, since then it won't connect...

The top of the drivers door seal seems to have degraded in so far as it's 'squashed up' where the centre of the window sits. The result is increased windnoise. So, I'm thinking of booking a service visit. 17 months and 16k miles in to ownership - any thoughts on whether this will be warrantied?

Why is it that I can ask Spotify to play a song, quite often long title name and artists, and it gets it right pretty much all the time. However, if I try to use voice recognition to make a phone call, it's awful. Does it route to a different server for Spotify?

Hi all. Anyone have this wear pattern. It’s an M3P, 15k miles. I do make sure I use the brakes regularly btw. Excuse the dirty wheels.

Yesterday, I was due to leave on a long journey at around 18:00, so I changed from the usual scheduled charging to Scheduled departure. The window popped up for departure time, so i set it to 18:00. The car was already at 90% soc, and I thought it strange that the car started charging straight...

I'm going to play devils advocate a little here. When I first got the car about 14 months ago, I was quite excited at the thought of the car continuously improving itself via OTA updates. I told my mates about it, they nodded in agreement. Now I'm not so sure. Yes, Netflix was added and I...

Hi all, I've just had two new ones put on the rear of my M3P, and can highly recommend these guys if your anywhere near Bishops Stortford. Bishops Stortford Tyres | Book MOTs, Servicing & Tyres in Bishops Stortford | Protyre They will go the extra mile to ensure that the wheels are taken...

I think Tesla may have some competition in a year or so. Always a good thing. Chinese EV firm Nio unveils ET7 saloon as new flagship | Autocar ET7

I drove an IS200 (54 plate) for nearly 14 years, and in my mind I've always said that when Lexus brings out an electric car I would go back to them, due to the slavish attention to detail and build quality. So, when I saw they have finally announced one I was keen to have a look. Then I did...

Hi Can just the valve be replaced, or does it need to be the complete unit including the TPMS? Model 3 Performace, btw. Paul

It’s probably as I imagine, but anyone know what the crossed through round circle means on the North Greenwich location?

Hi all, Has anyone noticed that when these tyres get low on tread, the performance suffers a bit? Mine rears are about 1mm above the wear indicator and I'm noticing wheel spin on even partial throttle openings. I know the roads are a little damp today, but it's not particularly cold @ 7...

Hi - I managed to delete the browser favorite by mistake. Anyone got the link that enables various apps to run in full screen?

I'll be putting new rears on my M3P in a couple of months, and I noticed new ones are fitted with these tyres. I'd be interested to hear people's views, albeit I realise they are very new to the Tesla world.

As above really. The Abstract Ocean one seems quite expensive, the ones on Amazon possibly dodgy. Which one have people bought and did it fit?

Mine is road noise on my model 3 performance. By some margin.

Hi all, I did a search in this on the forum and didn’t get anything really useful. I recon that my rears will be up for replacement in about three months. I’ve been looking at Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 88Y N0 I notice they are rated at 67db, quieter than many others and am tempted to...

Tesla have been working on this for some time now and... they are still rubbish, dangerous even. Last night on the M11 I had switched them to manual slow intermittant due to the auto setting wiping at a frantic rate even in low rainfall. It then came down heavily, and I was behind a lorry so...

As above really. I upgraded to IOS 14 yesterday and now the app just sits there with ‘waking up’ on the bottom of the screen. Anyone else having problems?

Hi all, I’m on 2020.32.3 Every time I set the FCW to off or Late, next time I drive the car it resets itself to Medium. I’ve tried a hard reset, didn’t help. Anyone else have this? Paul

Hi all, Can someone clarify whether this includes all energy usage, or is it just the drivetrain?

I wanted this badly last night. The M11 was closed southbound at junction 8, so I needed to find a non motorway route home. I looked at the map on the screen an found my way around it but it was some few miles before it finally ignored the M11 and routed me home another way.

I seem to have lost one of mine. Anyone know how much a replacement is, and how to get one?

As per the question really. Asking because I've noticed that under full power the M3P can be a bit 'squirelly' i.e. it tugs a bit on the steering. So, I'm wondering about the Tesla settings and if they can be improved. I had my old Lexus IS200 set up by them and it was better than the Lexus...

I've recently noticed that the phone will only unlock the car (M3P) when the app is running in the background. I don't remember it being like this up until the last couple of weeks. Could be wrong though. Thoughts people?

Well, I enabled this yesterday. I'm still not sure of it's function in the Tesla app BUT I now know what it does to my iPhone X. I stuffs the iPhone's Face ID facility. It stopped working directly after I enabled it in the Tesla App. I tried to re set it in the iPhone's settings but it...

... is still rubbish. It doesn’t even recognise ‘Call’ ... now. Anyone else having issues?

Is it just me or is this too many screen touches? First to bring up the sub menu, then second to select the phone - the phone icon should be a permanent icon on the horizontal bar at the bottom surely? Also, the screen that then shows with Favourites/Recent calls etc. is over the far side of...

Hi all, I'm curious if anyone else gets this. I have an M3 Performance, and under full throttle the sterring 'tugs' a little, almost feels like torque steer. It only happens when I properly floor the loud pedal.

Hi all, I could have sworn Abstract Ocean were doing these, but can't see them on their site now. Any suggestions as to where to buy (I'm in England). EDIT: They are out of stock, more coming soon.

Hi all, In the last few weeks I've noticed that the visuals of cars passing going the other way have become rather flaky. I'm only seeing about 1 in 4/5 cars that pass, and sometimes even those appear and flicker out very quickly. I've had a couple of the usual messages about the B pillar...

Hi all, This does not seem to be 'Live' traffic data - I often see red/orange lines when there is no traffic at all on the road. When I use this facility on Google Maps on the iPhone it's properly live data. Can anyone clarify what the orange and red lines mean/how often they are updated?

Has anyone else had this - I now get 3.

I'm getting 3, the first one at the expectyed completion time, then two more, the third of which I get when I get in the car. Anyone else had this?

I can't readily see it, can someone point me to it?
