hopeful for Model 3 match soon for my replacement lease vehicle, can't believe it's been 3 years+ since I took delivery of the current car - fingers crossed any ships due into Southampton soon have a match for me. was supposed to be in the new one a month ago so getting twitchy trigger finger...

Ditto also wake me up when they sort out the screen split sizing and turn it back into a decent display config zzzzzzzzzzzz

have now realised why our 4G internet was so terrible this week - the car has updated itself to 2021 maps version without even a hint of a download happening. Now if only they could deliver a software interface that doesn't prioritise a stupid car graphic over navigation real estate ....

really pleased I waited ages for my vehicle to arrive due to ordering white interior with tow. agree with @Rustybkts it's giving the tip a real workout and in 3 weeks time I have over a cubic metre of timber cladding boards to collect. because you have to drive very sensibly also and the extra...

yes and yes - have taken cover off / battery out and currently drying. Should be fine with a new battery. will leave it a few days to be sure all the moisture is gone from the PCB. 40 degrees on a synthetics wash would be my recommendation. non-bio of course.

camera being replaced now and boot seals being looked at. 2 things I've learnt this morning - 1) when you can't find your keyfob, always look in the washing machine, and 2) there is some delicious irony in a mobile Tesla service tech turning up in a diesel Merc van.

just some thoughts folks - am not looking to be viewed as right or wrong - it's just some feedback on the handling characteristics of the car now I've got to know it better. YMMV :) And yes I'm aware I'm comparing 2 completely different cars - benefit of having owned 2 completely different...

It means that the car is too quick for its suspension on B roads. It’s not set up to be able to monster these kinds of roads and it shows a real lack of composure beyond a certain point, it’s a very sudden change and tells me the suspension folks at Tesla had a choice to make given how the car...

Finally got the trailer sorted, went with trusty CLH Trailers based in South Wales - long lead time but worth the wait. went for 7’6 x 4’6 which has worked out perfectly as the width is exactly the same as the car, makes adjusting road position really easy as you can go off the rear arches in...

Had the Model 3 LR for 6 months now with the odometer showing 5500 miles. Completely bizarre situation that miles are so low, usually I would have done 15-20k in that time - but still the car has done a few longer runs 400 miles ish and lots of local stuff. Good stuff Performance Comfort...

Pls post a pic of your last 30 miles energy graph so we can see the wh/m usage curve, may give some clues.

Think my days of heroic long stints driving silly distances are over. But I like the comparison. Roughly would say for a Model 3 LR for every 3-4 hours driving you need to stop for 45-60 minutes charging, if conditions at SuC are with you and you get lucky on charging location vs total...

Worth noting that the Model 3 wiring mechanism for trailers does not have braking control, neither does the trailer mode software, for this reason I stuck with unbraked 750kg max trailer, currently on order - will update other thread when it turns up. Maybe the Model X has more oomph and...

Nice work and welcome. Look forward to happy new owner collection pics :)

I didn’t get a rebate. However I didn’t charge the car that morning, and we didn’t cook Christmas lunch for free because the pub did that for us ! Nothing lost, nothing gained !

Having just updated to 48.35.5 this week (model 3), I’ve also had a new work phone (change from iPhone 8 to 11) - it took 3 attempts to get it to recognise the new phone and then got itself into a right tizzy with the new phone and old phone having the same name. Eventually I deleted all phones...

35.5 just installed. Saw that it needs complimentary nav data update, anyone got this ?

Get a red one And a blue one Problem solved :)

Mine loses 1% in around 5 days parked up with no API stuff going on and no checking on the app - in 10-20 degrees C Since the weather got a lot colder / continually at less than 10 degrees, it loses about 2% in a week. However I’m not convinced it’s losing even as much as that, I think it’s...

Yeah just drive 278 miles :)

You will be charging at 10 amps, the UMC limits to this on a 3-pin 13A plug. On the Long Range Model 3, a charge at 16 amps from 10% to 90% would take around 17 hours at 3.7kW - with your current setup it would be around 26 hours at 2.3kW For the SR+ it obviously makes a bigger difference in...

Have a look at Commando (CEE type) sockets and adaptors for your UMC / other charger options. At the very least this would give you 16A, potentially 32 depending on your home consumer unit / fusing capability / main fuse rating.

We’re still experiencing the growing pains of a switch to an energy source that you can’t “see” When you go to a fuel pump, a physical quantity of a liquid splurges into a container, and you feel both the quantity and pain of that, with your eyes and in your wallet. At the point of consumption...

Oh no, that 360 figure has been mentioned ! Run away !

Can you post a pic of your energy graph for last 30 miles driven.

Think this is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve seen Glovis Captain make the Zeebrugge trip with Model 3’s on board. The last time was when it gracefully deposited my vehicle on these fair shores. Crazy bonkers how the mega miles shipping cycle just keeps going round and round and ...... Anyone using...

Model 3 LR 2020 - 3000 miles, 4 months, 307wh/m avg I have only done 2 long journeys in the car, everything else is <30 miles one way Before the recent very wet and cold spell the lifetime avg at around 2k miles was 280.

If there is no extra insulation in the body of the car, thicker glass may not make any difference to overall noise levels. Noise may be perceived as lower from passing traffic etc, as your ears will localise that to moving objects “passing the windows” tyres account for the largest noise...

You could try a scheduled charge using the supplied UMC running in Granny charge mode @ 13A for an hour or so, to make the car “learn” it now has 10A max from a 13A supply. Then go back to your normal charging config and see if the car “re-learns” its new theoretical max of 32. When I’ve...

It’s just complete nonsense that Tesla feel they need to prove a point by having to use cameras to detect rain. All I would say is come and drive on UK roads in the rain with the wipers set to Auto. You will either be dead due to no wiping/visibility or dead due to the wipers burrowing their...

Mine were fine for the first month or so then seem to have gone into warp mode all the time on the auto setting. A rain sensor would be better than trying to use cameras for a problem that doesn’t exist

Overall the car feels less enjoyable to use with this update, it’s very disappointing to be continually distracted by an overly sensitive vehicle display and all that white space glaring at you. I would be interested in an explanation from the developers to see how they justify the UX of this...

Did it fix the bug of the UI design being crap ?

As per above - I have picked up a few small chips since the coating. It’s inevitable. Really pleased with the coating overall but it’s not designed to act like PPF

New speed display (your actual speed) is the only improvement. It is easier to glance at as closer to peripheral view The lower main display bar is neither better nor worse Shrink the white space by 50% and make the maps/rest bigger. Why are all the vehicle menu selections as far away from...

Seriously, if that’s the direction of UX approach then the car is not what I bought. Who tests this junk ?

Am now dreading being forced into this visual update. Looks rubbish. 15” screen my a$$

10 weeks since this full detail and ceramic was done. The car hasn’t been washed since (my wife’s car was done with identical treatment the same week). Finally got the right adaptor for my snow foam bottle / pressure washer this week, so out came the Autoglym Polar foam, got both cars nicely...

I would say they do help generally with side/rear dirt, they do need cleaning out regularly as muck gets caught between the plastic part and the bodywork. You still get some small stone chips on the sills but not surprising when the roads are falling apart everywhere

I didn’t see anything pop up with the sub disconnected but I didn’t go looking with Stats, TeslaFi, API etc

Coming soon to a driveway near you ... a rose-gold apple car.

Wonder what happens if the Dragon/Falcon rocket shenanigans gets a reflection off a cloud as it launches into the atmosphere. It sure as heck shouldn’t be phantom braking on the way up.

I just swapped in my account # and it loaded the site, asked me a question so I I said yes and submitted, maybe I just started war of the worlds or something Or maybe it’s a phishing attempt.

Just checked Octopus account and I hadn’t “allowed data analysis” for smart meter data preferences - no email received

Before the car arrived (my first EV), I thought from comments on here I would need about 20 different cards, initially I signed up to Geniepoint and thought I would wait and see how the situation panned out. PolarPlus was the next on the list as I thought I would go with OVO Energy to get the...

Have started to get annoyed with TACC now - was fine for me until either the 44.10 or 48.x updates. Yesterday had 2 strong braking events with a car approaching in oncoming lane, no danger whatsoever just a passing car in the opposite direction. Will recalibrate cameras but if it carries on I...

48.12.1 just appeared randomly at 1am and have installed. Normally I’m a few days behind the first cars to get latest updates. Looking forward to my imaginary range getting bigger, hopefully the display will now read 101%

Tesla owners taking the new green number plate concept to new heights. Luminous driver outfits will get you free parking everywhere as the Parking Eye folks will be laughing so much .....

Have a think about what extra measures you will take to ensure absolute minimal risk by taking the extra journey. It will feel essential as it’s a big deal etc etc - but it’s not really essential. Take extra precautions and practise safe collection sex. Then all good :)

Looks like he forgot to dress the tyres with a nail gun. To be fair, it might just have been unlucky and was the wrong kind of metal. Aluminium would have been fine, right ?
