My car is model 3 2019 model, the first ones to hit UK roads… Front right and left upper arms replaced under warranty in 2022 after some 40k miles for squeaking. This year I noticed a different problem just after 50k (out of warranty), and when I took it to an independent garage, they noticed...

Update: I live in the North West, and found a list of garages that work with EVs, has anyone had any experience with them, or other trustworthy garages? I’ve contacted Wirral Automotive Services, their earliest appointment is 30th May, still earlier than Tesla, and their rate is £102/h incl...

Hi, last week I noticed noise coming from my rear suspension passenger side. My car is 2019 Model 3 and sadly just out of warranty (50,200 miles!). I have had the front upper arm suspension replaced last year - they initially gave injection but when the problem recurred they replaced it under...

I live in the UK, my experience from summer camping this year: - “no sleeping in car”: some campsites have this rule. The first time I heard was when I phoned in to ask about charging my car on the electric hook ups. Ironically they said this was not a problem but they went bananas when they...

This one has expressly quoted £8.50 for overnight or all day EV charging. This one has specifically said NO to sleeping in cars or unconverted vans, for reasons of ventilation and CO detection. But with camp mode and the HVAC on, then it’s not an issue with our cars! And no I don’t intend to...

@spon88 - that’s great! I’m gonna start keeping a list! This makes sense from safety point of view/avoiding tripping their fuse, and probably would be cheaper to install dedicated EV chargers than updating all their existing EHUs. But I wonder how much extra cost they would charge for that! I...

Good to hear positive campsite experiences. Would you mind letting us know which campsites you stayed at @kuruma and @spon88? Planning to camp in Western Lake District next week (after August bank holiday). I think I got the okayed from the NT site at Eskdale (Wasdale is fully booked and I...

This guy has done it. He’s done a few nice videos on camping with a Model Y with a roof tent.

I’m surprised nobody had replied! Let me know if you’re offering anything similar next summer ;) I’ll be up for it if timing works! I drive a Model 3 in the UK.

I got my delivery on 21st Nov and had to drive to Shropshire on A-road full of roundabouts on 25th Nov. My car was still installed with v9 (I don’t understand why! I had to call the service centre for them to push the v10 to me directly to get upgrade, but since then I have had 2 more minor...

I agree! I have to reverse in incline coming out of my garage so from this morning I have switched back to creep mode... my idea was to switch back to hold mode once I started driving forward but I never did and carried on driving in creep mode. The ease of smooth reversing in the end won it for...

Hi, new owner of Model 3 LR AWD here. Planning a road trip from North of England to Strasbourg taking the Eurotunnel. Both the route planner from Tesla as well as abetterrouteplanner suggested a 6-7h drive from home to the tunnel and from Calais to Strasbourg, including 10-30 minute charging...

Yes... I have the same issues as you. Spotify native app not able to find my playlist/library, also while playing the library, at the end of each song, it just seemed to stop... and yet if i pressed "next" it would play the next track! but so annoying that i must manually click next at the end...

Mine is a Long Range AWD and the V5C says Model 3 Standard Range (!!!). I have spoken to the guy at the shop and he hasn't got an answer as to what to do about it. I think I do want to get it fixed though as years from now I think I will have a problem trying to sell it if the V5C doesn't match...

I just bought my tunnel tickets and this is what the website says... so it happens automatically now, we don't need to select the single deck... I feel this may be a new change, as if I remembered correctly, before I received my car, I had a look at tunnel ticket prices around christmas time...

Addendum: I tried to signup directly from their website and it was fine, it was the mobile app that sent me broken links to validate my email address!

I have been trying to sign up for New Motion to use in Europe/France as the card is free (unlike others that charge €15-20 for the card), but the email they sent to activate my account always had a broken link! Grrr...

I picked up my Model 3 three days ago so still discovering new features everyday :) Funny I came across your review (great review!) as tomorrow I'll be doing Wirral -> Shrewsbury! There are a few chargers in Cheshire Oaks - 1 in the outlet itself, 1 in M&S and 1 in the retail park. So I'll see...

:O Mine's also Model 3 LR, current car Mazda 3 £700 insurance with LV. LV quoted me £2000 for the Tesla! Both when I called the insurance company directly to modify the existing policy, as well as new quote from compare the market... I found the only one that offered reasonable quote was...

Just got my delivery date given to me, it'll be in 12 days, woooooot! Finally. I do have AMEX cc and at the moment I need 50,000 reward points to transfer to Finnair in order to have a seat upgrade on an upcoming long haul trip. I am still about 15,000 short. So one way to do this is via...
