    [UK] 2024.8.x

    Our 23 plate car is bog standard and has the update. Tried the lights out on a brief drive - the high beam stayed on most of the time and nobody flashed us…

    Refer and Earn Leasing Help

    I guess it could be worth asking your lease company - seeing the replies on here, it looks like it may be an 'option' they might be able to select.

    Refer and Earn Leasing Help

    I have a lease car, and we used the referral to purchase my wife’s car - I got the points on my lease car account, and am currently eating through the Supercharger miles I used them to get. Guess the policy might have changed, or maybe it’s related to the particular lease company, as they are...

    Referral Miles Expiring

    Sorry, my bad, I didn’t report back… Yes, I spent a few more referral points, and all the miles got extended - many thanks.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I’m pretty much in the same position - everything is fine on 1.28.2, and I’ve avoided updating as I’m really not sure what will happen. The biggest difference is mine hasn’t restarted recently… Interested in the replies…

    [UK] 2024.2

    Must admit that I have missed much of this thread, as my M3P refuses to go past 2023.44.30.14, but when I jumped into the wife’s car (which is on 2024.2.3) I noticed they have changed the font on the PIN to drive numbers screen to a lighter one. Sorry if this has been mentioned, but it’s...

    Average Wh/mi since owning?

    Had my M3P since May 2020, so nearly 4 years. Mostly commuting about 40 miles a day into Manchester, but a couple of long trips (with Superchargers) each year. Total mileage: 47,990 Average: 310 Wh/mi

    2024 Insurance Costs

    Had my quote through from LV for our two Teslas - one was up 31%, the other 50% (go figure!). I'm in the Martin Lewis '26-20 day' range, so a quick MoneySuperMarket search or two later and I'm now with Admiral, with both cars insured for less than the price of one with LV... Complete madness...

    What company car fuel card does everyone use (AllStar doesn’t have access to Tesla SC)?

    Whilst not ideal, could you not Supercharge against your credit card an reclaim it through expenses, or possibly use a company credit card? I guess it depends a little on your company policies for claiming mileage, and whether you get private miles covered...

    [UK] 2023.44

    My 2020 M3P got updated to .8 on Thursday, and since then I am getting frequent warnings from the off-side USS sensors, mostly the front, but both at times. I can be sitting at a set of traffic lights with no cars anywhere near, and suddenly the red line appears and I get a STOP warning, and I...

    TACC random slowing down

    Not if it what you are asking, but when our cars do the ‘slow down’ I described earlier, the speed limit display remains showing 30mph, the car just slows for a while. It ‘feels’ like the cars know traffic slows at that point usually, and reacts accordingly, but I know that isn’t what is...

    TACC random slowing down

    When using TACC (in the absence of a proper speed limiter!) we're seeing a place on a 30mph road where the car slows down to 20mph for 100 yards or so, then speeds back up to 30mph. It does this on both our cars (one 2020, one 2023) every time. This happens near a junction on the left, but there...

    Referral Miles Expiring

    Exactly what I was looking for - thanks so much! I will report back when I redeem more in February, but that seems pretty clear. Happy New Year!

    Referral Miles Expiring

    Thanks @init6, that’s helpful - that all appears to be related to additional referrals rather ‘purchasing’ with credits, but maybe that’s actually the same thing. I'm pretty sure that if I add another 300 in early Feb, all of the miles will extend for 6 months, which means I might be able to use...

    Referral Miles Expiring

    I purchased 3,000 Supercharger miles with some referral credits a while back, and I still have about 1,500 remaining. However, it looks like these expire in late February 2024 (they are only valid 6 months), band I’m sure I read on here somewhere (can’t find it) that you can ’extend’ the...

    2023 Holiday Update

    I think it might depend on the age of your car - I read somewhere that Tesla only started putting the interior cameras with infrared abilities in the newer cars (2021>?). I doubt if my old car can see in the dark :oops:

    10 Days out of warranty Model 3 heating failure...

    Obviously I was just a dude listening to a podcast, I’m not a ‘consumer champion’, but… I guess as the latter includes the former, then I’ll go for ‘any car’ if I have to choose one - can’t think of many new cars without heaters! I think an expectation of a heater in a car heating the inside...

    10 Days out of warranty Model 3 heating failure...

    Happened to be listening to a Martin Lewis podcast on the way home and he was emphasising your SADFART rights - any item you buy must be of Satisfactory quality, As Described, Fit for purpose, And last a Reasonable length of Time, that is a statutory right apparently. I would agree that on an...

    Quick question - Referral and buyer credits

    Sorry I wasn’t clear - I don’t believe you can transfer credit. I’m not sure if the free miles are attached to the car or the account, but I would doubt you could get ’double bubble’ easily, or everyone would be doing it…

    2023 Holiday Update

    I get a note at the top of the navigation (where the preconditioning notice appears) and the marker on the road as well. Seems like if you click on the notification it goes away, no idea how to get it back.

    Quick question - Referral and buyer credits

    I used a referral code when I got our 2nd M3, got a referral bonus and free miles. However, used a different ‘account’ (or email address maybe?). One car is a lease, so has my work email address, the other a personal email address.

    2023 Holiday Update

    Now got the install on both my 2020 car (the 2023 one got it days ago) - the 2020 car's release notes once again had no mention of speed cameras, but it happily showed them on my way to work 🤷‍♂️

    We tried both earlier (with and without route), nothing showed. Maybe they’ll turn up later in reality just like they showed later up in the release notes.

    App nor octopus IO not waking up model 3

    I’ve noticed both of our cars are slow to wake up recently… I’ve also noticed that in my app I’m getting an animated ‘glowing’ car that I’ve never seen before. Only way to get a proper picture is to swipe to the other car and back again :confused:

    Supercharging Payment Question

    When we got our M3 in August, it was delivered with 'less charge than they wanted', and they put 100 miles of free Supercharging on the account. What can you see in the charging history (Account > Charging > History)?

    I'm sure you'll get many responses on here about the differing way lease companies have dealt with returns, so YMMV...

    [UK] Is it worth buying a 2019 M3P in 2023?

    I've got an early 2020 M3P and I've loved every second of having it! However, my wife recently got a 2023 M3 Rear-Wheel Drive, and if I was choosing again now, and knowing what I know now, I'd take the newer car (even though it is slower). I do appreciate however, you may not be able to stretch...

    I guess you could set the wall charger to cut off at like 7am (or before normal departure time), then the car can't draw current, but you could still take advantage of any extra IO slots up to that time...
