    TACC random slowing down

    Yes noticed in the last couple of updates that the TACC and the Autopilot have seemed to have got worse. To the point I turned to my wife and said that they are pretty much unusable now. The amount of random slow downs whilst overtaking on motorways, emergency braking because it thinks the car...

    Are the Hankook tyres magic?

    Just replaced my first set of front at 47,000 miles!

    2020 M3 - Control Arm Squeak

    Mine's just gone again. Noticed a slight squeaking on steering and parked up. Then when I went again it made a huge clunk. This is the second time in 6 months.

    ... and the glitch of the day is ...

    Happened to me also. Haven't updated in ages though after they linked AP and headlights/wipers as it has been terrible on AP since. Afraid to see what they balls up in the subsequent updates.

    Autopilot/AutoWipers

    I’ve just noticed the when driving in Autopilot that the wipers can never be switched to off. Only way to have them ‘off’ is to keep them in Auto. However the AutoWiper system is awful. Driving in bone dry conditions last night and the wipers start and just won’t stop. Had to drive all the way...

    Tesla All Weather Protection Kit [mudflaps/ppf] - Anyone in the UK Been Contacted?

    My code doesn't work for the PPF option...only the mudflap option. Anyone else have this issue?

    Phantom braking (TACC/AP) [Not AEB]

    I get phantom braking very often...usual overtaking of Trucks on a motorway...or moving into the middle lane from the outside lane when a Truck is in the nearside lane. The other day I had a terrible incident of phantom braking. Usual overtaking of a truck on a dual carriageway however just...

    TM3 Weak WiFi Signal

    I booked my car in for a service appointment as my WIFI signal was non existent. Turns out the antenna was unplugged. They plugged it in and all came back working normally. I couldn't even get it to pickup my phones hotspot whilst I was in the car. If you experience the same then book it in for...

    Yeah same for me. Phone hardly ever works now. I get no indicator sounds at all currently.

    VAT cut in emergency budget? Just ordered

    You’d need to find out if the VAT would be calculated at the time or ordering or when the invoice would be raised. If the former if it’s when the invoice is raised but happens to be before the VAT cut comes into place then I would certainly cancel the order and reorder when VAT has been cut...

    Slow Puncture

    Update. Ordered the new tyre and went in to do it today. They took the tyre off and had a look and said they might actually be able to repair it. The centre foam was only stuck down by 4 small lines of adhesive and the nail was outside of the foam anyway. They said that even within the foam...

    Slow Puncture

    Interestingly I spoke to one this morning who confirmed that they can fix these types of tyres however there are two types of them and they are only willing to do one type. They said they can do all (noise reduction) Michelin and some Conti's. However the Hankook's and a certain type of Conti...

    Slow Puncture

    No neither of them looked at the tyre. Just said that noise reduction tyres cannot be repaired. They said that manufacturers instructions are that they cannot be repaired and so they won’t. They went on to state that if anyone is repairing them then it’s against manufacturers advice. May...

    Slow Puncture

    Went to two local tyre places..both flat out refused to admit they could be repaired...such a pain. Got a couple of other places to try further away.

    Slow Puncture

    Anybody got any advice on getting 19" Wheels repaired? Annoyingly I picked up a slow puncture today. Do the Tesla service centre do repairs to tyres? Or is it best to go independent local tyre shop? I've read about there being issues with repairing foam lined tyres.

    Poor WiFi reception M3 - some findings

    I took my M3 in to the service centre as I was unable to pick up a reliable wifi signal. I had to hang my router out of the window to even get 1 bar. It would still drop out. It would also not pickup my phone hotspot. Turns out the antenna was unplugged. Quick fix and night and day reception on...

    Agreed...much better...think you better send Tesla an Invoice for your time on that one Durzel. Well done.

    Climate Control and Hot Weather

    I found this to a certain extent also. I always kept the fan speed below 5 to limit the effect on range. I was out one day and it was too hot, I thought the AC wasn't very good on the car also. It was very quickly resolved by whacking the fan speed up to 8 and temp down to LO. Within a minute...

    Tesla U2 Chase Car

    Might have been spotted before but just came across a U2 takeoff video from RAF Fairford and noticed they used a Tesla Model S as a chase car. Anyone one here?

    Current (not) Included Type 2 Cable length

    I have a Blue Type 2 connector. Interestingly (not really) I parked next to a older (2019) Model 3 who had a black Type 2 connector which was about half the length of mine...certainly significantly shorter. I wonder if Tesla have changed it recently...or sending out whatever they have got stock of.

    Octopus Go Faster

    Keep emailing them. I had to prompt them to take over the meter. They emailed me back telling me it had been successful however it wasn't. Another email and they finally switched me over from tomorrow...my tariff is indicating the switch to commence at midnight tonight. Despite the issues great...

    Agreed. I ended up going for stick on plates....much cleaner and if you are getting a new set made up anyway ,ay well be a good option for you.

    Removing number plate holder

    Tesla.com bit is just a push fit. Pull gently from one side and work your way across. Plate slides out and back in and replace the Tesla.com bit.

    v2020.8 rolling

    I was on 2020.8.2 so already had the FSD visualisations. The release notes are no different to 8.2 so I assume this is just bug fixes.

    I wouldn't be concerned about the windows...mine are the same...all good. Roof Glass Alignment is normal...mine is like that as were every other car in the lot when I picked up. Windscreen and Rear light I would query yes. Not a disaster and certainly drive able, though easy to fix when parts...

    Anyone NOT had any issues with their Model 3?

    So just thought I'd update this thread with my experience. Picked it up a week ago. Noticed the boot seal wasn't fitted correctly and was slightly warped, this somehow allowed water ingress just beyond the seal but no further. I jet washed it yesterday and no water got through. Black plastic...

    Just arrived home from collecting my SR+ from Birmingham. They were busy as you like..couldn’t even park in the car park...ended up parking on the street next to it as they said there hadn’t been any traffic wardens since the Virus outbreak...he also offered to pay any fine should I get one. As...

    Picking my SR+ up tomorrow morning from Birmingham. If anyone has picked up from Birmingham yesterday just interested to see how the handover was? Were they busy? I'm going to spend a bit of time looking over the car to make sure everything is right before I drive away.

    Long Range... Well not really

    Wow! That would be concerning me also. Anything you have been doing like having heated seats on all the time with heating/ac? I’m picking up a SR+ on Thursday and I was hoping to get at least 150 miles from 90% to 10% but looks like I’d get no way near that if that’s what you have got from the...

    Changing to an inventory car

    Vendor DRIVE Electric for Tesla, an app for Samsung watches (Tizen)

    I can't seem to find the Drive Electric app on the galaxy store. I have a Gear S3 on latest software. Iphone with the wearable app. If I search for Drive Electric for Tesla I get no results. Nothing even for just Tesla.

    Yeah seems that way. I ordered direct, phoned once to clarify I would get the final invoice before end of financial year. Received delivery text, shortly followed by VIN and VRN. Collect on Thursday. Though this Tesla Direct Delivery option (don’t know whether this has ever been offered to non...

    I pick my SR+ up on 19” Sport Wheels on Thursday. Mostly because if I found range to severely depleted in winter months the Aeros could go back on and help with that. Not necessarily cost...more that for the same price I could have had two full sets of wheels for the car. In winter months the...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    I have to admit the only reason I ordered the M3 was because they started offering the 19” Sport Wheels and an option. In hindsight I wish I would’ve ordered the Aero Wheels and used the £1500 option to buy a second set of nice alloys to have two sets.

    I was told by Tesla that you get free supercharging on the day of collection yesterday. I was trying to retrospectively add a referral code as when I ordered the car I did not know you had to order it through a link. I thought you just added it at some stage during the order. They flat out...

    To you both. I did mine using the invoice number because I didn’t read the email properly. The deposit appeared after 24 hours. Probably half way through the second day from payment being transferred maybe 36 hours or something.

    Plug-in car Grant now £3000 (was £3500) for cars under £50k

    Model 3 Inventory is telling. Some LR remain at yesterday prices...assuming they are cancelled orders and therefore already registered. Some LR and P’s are up. LR’s are £54k and one P’s at £59k. I guess these never got ordered.

    New M3P Owner

    If you are within 3 months of the end of your tariff you don’t need to pay the exit fees. Calculate how much you’ll pay to charge for the period until 6th April. You might find you won’t switch until close to the 6th April if you switch now anyway. I’d wait until you collect your vehicle then...

    That’s horrific! No one thing is critical but when you add them all up together it must feel soul destroying! Hope they identify this as a more urgent matter to deal with than the 7th April.
