    Octopus no charging plan

    There is no update on Agile pricing for tomorrow either which is strange it’s usually available soon after 16:00.

    EV's to pay Road Tax from April 2025

    Seems a bit unfair to tax it on vehicles already registered, they never did that when they reformed the VED in 2017. Will old diesels registered before then still be £20 per year? Seems a bit daft if this is correct. We all knew VED was coming at some point but I thought that it would be phased...

    Tyre Blow Out on 7 mth old Model 3 …. Not happy

    How do you expect the car to warn you that you are about to have a blow out? Can any car on the market do that? All cars have pressure monitoring systems and some give tyre termperature information but if the blow out is sudden and not caused by driving on a slow puncture I can't see how any car...

    Tyre Blow Out on 7 mth old Model 3 …. Not happy

    We would all be upset, at the fright of the incident happening as something like that is scary regardless of what caused it, and also upset at having to foot the bill for a pretty expensive new tyre and refurbished wheel. And yes we're all gald you're not hurt as that is the main thing, tyres...

    Tyre Blow Out on 7 mth old Model 3 …. Not happy

    The tyre looks to be split here possibly from previous kerb damage, I know I pinched a tyre similarly on my old 3 and the new style wheels have less rim protection that the old ones, but it could be damage from the blow out. You can’t blame Tesla, Pirelli maybe but they are a good tyre brand and...

    2022 (72) M3P musings from a 2020 M3P owner

    The wind noise was the best improvement on my 2022 over my 2020, not a big difference at normal speeds but if you were going fast on a windy day (which we get plenty of in North Scotland) there was an annoying buffeting from the drivers window that is not there in the 2022 car, its silent in...

    Approved Bodyshop L&I Perth or Mitchell Inglis Glasgow

    Car was collected today by a transporter and on it's way to MI, will just have to wait and see if they find anything else once inspected, I'm also a bit wary of the rear suspension as the rear wheel took a fair impact. Hopefully it will not be too long for spare parts but have been warned not to...

    Andersen EV charger support

    Is their biggest objective not to make money, their fees are eye watering. From being a unsecure creditor several times it's rare that there is any dividend left to distribute after they have been paid and the banks and secured creditors have their money. It's annoying the banks get their money...

    Approved Bodyshop L&I Perth or Mitchell Inglis Glasgow

    Unfortunately had a bump in my 3, the 3rd party at fault and I'm gutted as the car is only just over a month old. Not sure how this no fault incident will affect my future premiums? Anyway the closest 2 authorised bodyshops are L&I Perth (132 miles away) and Mitchell Inglis Glasgow (190 miles...

    WBAC Shock

    Glad I sold my M3P when I did to WBAC, they paid £49400 eight weeks ago, revalued today at £39600 😮 I was surprised, they never tried to reduce the price at all and seemed really keen on buying the car. But this also means I will likely have taken a big hit on the new replacement M3P 😖

    Granny charger

    I could do, but normally only do 15-25 miles every day, there's not much point plugging it in every night to top up such a small amount, Even after 5 days I still have around 35-40% remaining which should get around 100 miles which is still plenty for any emergencies.

    M3P differences since 2019

    I would agree there is no one single huge change and the car is much the same inside and out but the amount of overall updates plus better MIC build quality, plus new warranty and battery, if you get a good trade in price the 2022 is the better car.

    M3P differences since 2019

    Recently went from a 2020 pre update M3P to a 2022 M3P so likely came from the same car as you. Power tailgate, heated steering wheel, heated wipers, heatpump, laminated glass, dechrome, slightly larger battery, better centre console, Ryzen, lithium low voltage battery, hairpin motor, updated...

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    Luckily I'm still on 5p/14.5p until January, but if the off peak were to jump significantly from the current 7.5p I might still be better off changing now before the rise.

    Most requested features list

    If the car waits until contact has been detected you could have missed important footage that the motion sensor would already have picked up, and I'm pretty sure you could "gently" key a car quickly and without making the car move enough to trigger a contact sensor. Agree it should detect the...

    Most requested features list

    You will always get spam notifications for any motion based security system, it's a fine line where you cut off the detection limits, I would rather have too many alerts and hopefully catch anything bad that did happen to the car than make it less sensitive and possibly miss something. Sentry is...

    Most requested features list

    Yes, that's why I said for it to be a switchable option, so if you leave your car in a high traffic area you can switch it off. I had no option but to park in a bit of a dodgy area not long ago, an alert to say sentry had been triggered would have been good in this instance.

    As others have already said matrix headlights that actually function as matrix lights, the hardware has been there for long enough now!

    Granny charger

    I ran my previous M3P with the granny charger for 2 years without any real issues but have recently got the Telsa wall charger fitted. Honestly it makes life a whole lot easier. We have 4 hours off peak charging, with the granny charger we had to plug in virtually every night and if we did a...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Pick up mine on Friday, only minor quality issue I can spot so far is the parking sensors appear to be a slightly different shade of white to the rest of the car. Panel gaps and fit and finish inside and out all appear good. Quick opinions compared to my 2020 model. Happy with - Biggest plus...

    New Octopus Switchers / Energy Crisis

    We are lucky to still be on the Go Faster tariff, 14.5p on peak, 5p off peak until the end of January, it works great for us as we're out most of the day and try to do as much as possible in the 4 hour window from 20:30. Is the Go Faster tariff still available, will we likely get renewed onto it...

    Model 3 Rear Sill PPF

    Preparing for my Model 3 delivery, is there PPF fitted as standard to the rear sills? I know it's available to buy as an option but not sure if that's just for cars made before it was fitted as standard. Are there no storage trays fitted as standard now, I see they are also available as an...

    Expired trade in update

    Well I was pleasantly surprised by WBAC, after hearing they try to reduce their valuation for any flaw they can possibly find I was expecting them to go over the car with a fine tooth comb but they really only gave the exterior of the car a minor look over and only reduced their valuation a tiny...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    It's more the principle, Tesla offered a good trade in price for June delivery which they could not achieve (not saying this wasn't out of their control due to Corona, but also not my fault either), a couple of months on an they dropped the trade in price by £5K, and now value their own car at...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Trade in price has been updated and is almost £5K less 😖 Gutted it's lost that much in a few months and 3000 miles, the car is in exactly the same condition. Looks like it will have to be WBAC or cancel the order.

    Expired trade in update

    Gutted, trade in price has been renewed and has dropped almost £5K, this means I will now need to find £13K to swap rather than £8K, that's a huge difference in a few months, the car is in exactly the same condition apart from adding 3,000 miles. ☹️ Looks like it will have to be WBAC or cancel...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    £1400 I can cope with and I'd be pretty happy with that result, especially as we will get a 72 plate instead of a 22, it will be a few months newer car plus the new price has risen by £1500 in those months, 15% of my Tesla would be over £7500 which would unfortunately mean cancelling the order.

    Alarm on unlock issue

    Yes, it's very very annoying, it's only appeared a couple of days ago since the last update so I assume it's some bug in the software as the car's been fine for over 2 years. I believe several others have been experiencing the same problem.

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    I was offered £52K in March by Tesla for my car which was way above WBAC at that time, noticed WBAC was up to almost £50K last week. I am awaiting my revised trade value in from Tesla for delivery at the start of September, I'm hoping the WBAC price going up will mean the Tesla offer will still...
