    Stick on vinyl number plates

    Had it fitted for over three years and nothing over that time.

    Curb rash

    One recommendation would be to go for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - but in the Porsche fitment. These have more of a rim protection protrusion built into the tyre itself.

    35cm crack in rear windscreen

    The girlfriend cracked my rear windscreen last month by slamming the boot whilst it was charging - trapping the charge cable between the boot and the glass. Tesla quoted around £1200, but thankfully car insurance covered all glass for the £75 excess. Autoglass replaced it in a couple of hours -...

    Alarm on unlock issue

    I’ve been having this happen with my car for quite a while now. It used to happen pretty infrequently, but has certainly increased over the last few weeks. This happens at home, but also when parked away from home. This also happens with all doors - not just driver door.

    [Repair] Just bumped into someone in the car park…

    That quote is an absolute joke and I would ask some serious questions. I approached a Tesla approved body shop (AW Accident Repair Group - Doncaster) after I hit a pheasant at speed which cracked the front bumper. They said the repair would be expensive, so recommended replacing the entire...

    Tyres for M3P impossible to find , need advice

    I recently went for the N0 Porsche fitment, and haven’t noticed any difference compared to the T0 - except you get much better rim protection with the N0, so would recommend 👍🏼

    Wiki [UK] V11 UI Changes and Features

    Working in Software Development, I’ve seen this happen dozens of times. Company starts with a product designed and created by developers. It’s highly functional. As the company grows, they decide they want to copy Apple and be all “user focused”, so hire a User Experience team. Said UX team...

    Michelin PilotSport 4S - Porsche Fitment?

    Apologies :( I’ve already searched under Michelin Porsche fitment, scoured through endless threads, but still couldn’t find an exact answer. I’ll keep searching then!

    Michelin PilotSport 4S - Porsche Fitment?

    Hey! There seems to be huge shortages again lately with the Michelin PilotSport 4S in the Tesla fitment (foam inside), therefore wondering if there would be any reason why I shouldn’t proceed to order the ones marked as “N0 (Porsche Fitment)”? Any insight appreciated!

    Transferring personal plate in the UK

    Tesla printed some free personal plates for me and put them in the boot, but had to wait a couple of weeks for the V5 to arrive before I could add them to the car.

    Odd Supercharger Navigation Suggestion

    It’s on the southbound side, but you can use the access roads to switch sides from the northbound side 👍🏼

    fan running

    My fan runs for ages at strange times too. It’s parked in the garage, and sometimes I’ll pop in to grab something and it’s sat there whirring away...

    Tesla Service Centres - Is this normal?

    I had a similar issue with my M3. There was a scratch on the bumper when I picked it up, which they acknowledged and booked in for a service appointment. Like yours, they performed a very poor smart repair (using flat white instead of Pearl), with obvious overspray and paint beading clearly...

    Car no longer opening with phone [Samsung Galaxy?]

    I’m having exact same issues, but with iPhone 12 Pro - so wouldn’t assume this to be Samsung only...

    Alloy touch up pen

    I’d love to learn if anyone has found a decent touch up for the dark 20” performance wheels also...

    2020 build quality & defects thread

    I had a scratch on my bumper (down to the black plastic), which is in the process of being resolved. Then both mine, and my friend’s M3 had the exact same issue of the boot hitting the bumper when closing it, beginning to damage the paintwork. Beyond that, it’s been fantastic.

    Model 3 front screeching sound.

    Reversing rather quickly tends to sort this out too :)

    Model 3 performance de-chrome and lower..

    Nice! How much is the de-chroming costing you, as this is the next item on my to-do list :)

    My pod-point experience

    A general question here, but has the OLEV charger install grant changed since 2015? I had a BMW i3 previously, and all charger installs were free back then - so just wondering what's changed to make all the installations no longer free? o_O

    UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

    Yeah, I’ve had it installed for about the last 4-5 weeks now - and I’m really happy with it. Literally just line it up and stick them straight on - couldn’t be easier. The matte version has a soft-feel to it, which is nice - but not sure how it would stand up to a serious scratch. Day to day...

    UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

    Yep, I’m not a fan of the carbon fibre look either. I went ABS matte black from Amazon. A bit more expensive, but I didn’t fancy trusting myself trying to apply the vinyl wraps!!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0816H432T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CEknEbR55YX1Y

    Maintaining that lovely soft-feel steering wheel!

    Seen a couple of other threads on this topic, but they were pretty American based, so listed products not easily available on this side of the pond. Therefore I’m just wondering what everyone is using to try and maintain that lovely, soft-feeling steering wheel, without it turning into a slick...

    M3 Efficiency -> Trip B

    After 3000miles I’m still over 380 for my overall average wh/mi. I’ve mentioned it in a previous topic, but I find it impossible to get under 300 on any journey, even when not using the potential of the car, heating switched off, etc :/

    Stone Chips

    I had a small, but deep scratch on my front bumper which I noticed during collection. Took it into service this week, but wish I hadn’t now - as the smart repair they carried out is not good (pearl white now covered up with a flat gloss white). Should’ve just got a touch up kit :(

    Home Charger Installation Query

    For what it's worth, I had a similar installation issue as you for my previous EV. The charger fitter installed another box inside my existing meter box, then probably around 40 metres of armored cable from the front of my property to my garage - then into the side of my garage for the separate...

    Stone Chips

    Yeah, I don’t get why they sell official touch up kits in the US, but they’re not available here... :/

    What Wh/mi are you getting in this wet weather?

    I have no idea how anyone is getting down into the 300’s. I’ve had mine for just over a week / 500 miles, and even when driving completely sensibly or in chill mode, I can’t get it under 400. My average is high 400’s, and into the 500’s if I use the potential of the car... :/

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Ordered White M3P on 15th November, just received my delivery confirmation for Manchester on 18th December! Big surprise - I didn’t think I’d be getting it until January at the earliest!

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    I ordered mine (M3P, white, black interior, autopilot) on 15th Nov, have a VIN in the source code, and Tesla say it’s in Zeebrugge awaiting transport over to the UK. My friend ordered his later (around 20th Nov), but with white interior - and already has a delivery date of 20th December :/
