    Model 3 Highland Performance

    I was tempted, did a trade in value for my Model 3 Performance 2022 with Tesla They offered me 29,500 Then I got a phone call from them saying if I was interested. I said if they offered me 37,000 and the ability to transfer my FSD then possibly yes - they said they would call me back next...

    Who is buying a LHD Refresh M S/X?

    At the same cost that I reserved a RHD version back in the day, I would not take a LHD Model S Plaid But...if it was 60/70K with Free Super Charging...then i would consider it...... All in Favour say "I" :)

    2024 Insurance Costs

    I paid £983 for 23/24 with Direct Line - they want £2250 for 24/25. I checked on Go Compare, like for like with Admiral came up to £1060 (with EV Perks) - told Direct Line, they said the best they could do is £1536. I was like "Goodbye" Recommend checking on Admiral :)

    So how much will this cost me?

    Yeah Direct Line is the same Ill see what these "mobile" services charge and then decide whether to go through insurance or pay myself Grrrr......

    So how much will this cost me?

    Grrr - some &^% must have hit my car with a shopping trolly (I did not sentry mode on) and so I have this little present now! Spoke to Tesla, who suggested I contact their approved body shop, which I did and got a quote for £3K - I am shocked at how expensive this quote is. Does anyone have...

    Charging question

    I currently do this at home when I know I need to get somewhere and leave at a certain time, I fully agree not to overstay (financially charged or otherwise) at a public or supercharger, so that others cant use them :)

    Charging question

    Ahoy Hoy - hope all are enjoying your long weekend. I know you should not charge your Tesla up to 100% often. However, I have my charge limit at 100% but stop charging when I get to 85% to 90%. I do this as I think (and I could be completely wrong here) that the charging slows down when it...

    Charging Control via App

    Hey All, Yesterday, I plugged in my M3P and put it on charge. I was using PodPoint which you have to register the charge within 15 mins. I did this but there was a problem with the podpoint network - their customer support team told me it wont stop sending the charge so nothing to worry...

    Tesla Model Naming - I think they missed a trick

    OK OK - its Sat Morning and I am bored (last time I was this bored, I went onto the Tesla Trade In page and sold my 2020 M3P for a LOT more than I owed on it and got a 2022 M3P). Anyhoo, I was just on the Tesla Website and of course saw the S3XY cars and thought...hmm....maybe they should have...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I dont think there is much in performance, but I do feel that the car is soo much more refined / better build than my 2020 model

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I dont know whats going on - but I was offered a crazy amount for my 2020 M3P, so I took the offer and got a M3P 2022 instead For me, there is a difference between 2020 and 2022 models

    Trade in mileage UK?

    Hi I did the same a couple of weeks ago, what I was told was that it is approx. 1000 Miles per month by Tesla in the UK (there was a delay in getting my log book changed etc). I said I needed to use my car until I picked up my new one, they said yes the above limit is there so you can carry on...

    Decent insurance in London? Model 3

    I pay £900 with DL. If you have vitality health insurance, they say they would match or beat any car insurance quote

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I just bought a "used" Model 3 Performance from a Tesla Dealership - ready to pick up. Its done 163 Miles.....not sure as to why it was for sale - I guess it is a new car?, as there is such a long wait, I thought it would be the best thing to do. Should I be worried?

    Peddle to the floor

    That could be it, maybe it thinks there is an obstacle or something? although the first time it happened, it was a straight road (albeit cars parked on either side)
  17. Billionaireboy

    Peddle to the floor

    Thanks for the info - It kind of responded slower than normal. Normally, you put your foot down the car shifts, this time round after the 2 seconds it gradually got up to speed - not instant like before it was not cold battery the first time It happened - just now, it is 1c so maybe because...

    Peddle to the floor

    Hey there, A couple of times - I have put the peddle the the floor and the car has not shot forward, but been more like in the ICE cars when there is no fuel in the car - hence a lack of power. Has anyone else had this? - I had 86% battery today when I tried it (was trying to get in front of...

    Issue with Navigation - unable to find a route

    Hey All, Just tried to use navigation and it was unable to find a route to where I wanted to go - even though it found the address. This happened a few times today - is it happening to anyone else? any ideas? Cheers

    So frustrating! Or am I being entitled?

    SOOOOO Annoying! - but to be honest, you get Douchbag's who also park in disabled bays when they are not meant to. So I think people will always do this

    Model 3 Ground Clearance

    When I got mine (March 2020) they were not standard but then I got sent them for free as part of the Tesla Winter pack thing...so then when I went to get my Alloy Wheel refurbed at the SC they installed them too. Sorry on another note - I was actually pleasantly surprised at the cost to fix my...

    Model 3 Ground Clearance

    Be VERY Careful!!!! I have a Model 3 Performance and I made the mistake of driving over a sheet of Bubble Wrap......totally scratched up the underside of my car :confused: Only Joking ;) - but if you add the Tesla Mud Flaps then these are very low and will scrape. I had them fitted and my drive...

    [UK poll] If you own FSD and Tesla offered the option to downgrade

    I think I would take a refund down to EAP. If (and it is a wish) they allowed to transfer FSD to future Teslas then I would keep FSD. My Logic is : People say that if they bought Rear Heated Seats upgrade on SR+ or Performance Boosts - then they dont carry these onto their future Teslas so why...

    Paying off PCP Early

    My 2 pence worth. With my deal, I ask for a settlement figure to pay off - this is sent which takes into consideration the interest charges that you wont have to pay as your settling earlier. I did a trade-in value with Tesla end of last year and they offered me a price above my settlement...

    Did you buy FSD (Full Self-Driving)?

    I bought it because a friend of mine bought his back in 2018 in the US - and got the HW upgrade for free. So my logic is that if for what ever reason in the future some hardware is to be upgraded - if you have the full options then you will get a free upgrade of HW too. My Logic may not be...

    What's the longest your Tesla has been in with the SC?

    Merry New Year!!! (Quote from "Trading Places" for those who know) Hope all is well. Curious, what's the longest your Tesla has been in at the SC? Mine has been over a month now (granted its the festive season but still a long time) - so thought I'd ask the question :)

    Park Royal Service Centre questions

    1. Depends on what the issue is - most probably you will get Uber Vouchers sent to your phone. 2. It should not take too long - has not taken a long time each time I have been there 5-10 mins most. 3. Nope - no free supercharging as far as I am aware

    Power trunk and frunk [pre 2021 Model 3]

    Tesla locking loaner cars in chill mode?

    I actually asked if they could take off chill mode - they said no, its their policy? A lovely 2016 P90D. Although, I had a 2017 75D in which the screen kept freezing and glitching, so they changed it to the P90D, but the charge port does not close automatically and the rear passenger door...

    Power trunk and frunk [pre 2021 Model 3]

    Sorry to come in late in the threads - and there may be other threads talking about this.....but I was talking to a person at Tesla as my car went in for some work, and we were talking about the 2021 model....I said I only really care about the Power Trunk, but there are kits available. He said...

    Tesla Home Charger

    I have a BMW i3S which I bought in Sept last year and got the BMW charger installed - luckily it works with my M3P too. I did have to test it when I took the Tesla "test" drive - so if there is a potential you will get another EV in the future, that this into consideration too.

    Internal Door Handle

    I'm probably going to get peeps shout at me as its probably been discussed before....but the internal door handle thats only meant to be used in emergencies......I have passengers use it even though I tell them not to and explain that it can damage the window. But it made me think - my BMW I3s...

    Thank heavens for the weekly shop..!

    Not related to us, but also they want to stop people going to the Petrol Stations as there is a greater risk of infected people and the spread due to people touching the Pumps. The Oil price went into negative yesterday in the US (they were paying you to buy, as they cant store it as there is...

    Octopus Go Faster

    Nice - I called them yesterday and they understandably said that currently they are not sending out engineers to install the required Smart 2 meters (I think we have a Smart 1) - so will have to wait until we are switched to the Go Tariff :(

    *Beeping* Model 3s

    Ahhhh......One friend's (Apr 19) in LA makes the Spaceship sound when reversing whereas another friend's (Jun 18 Model) does not. I was told that older Model 3's would not have it as no external speaker. My Model 3 Performance picked up a couple of weeks ago does not make a sound either -...

    Model 3 Performance price increase?

    Hi there, Have Tesla prices just gone up? Out of curiosity, I went onto the website to see what inventory stock they had....saw the prices higher - so went on the new order page and price has gone up?? Or am I missing something? Cheers

    USB Drive for Sentry Mode and more

    Can you delete folders on the USB once you have viewed them? - The "TeslaCam" folder would remain but delete all files within? if there are no incidents? This would not cause any issues right?

    How long does it take for the Camera's to calibrate? I have had my car for a week and done approx 100 miles....but the autopilot and camera's are still calibrating?

    They do come with internal mats (Perf does) - so I sent back my ones from Amazon, but no trunk or frunk mats or hooks - even though I was told by Telsa Sales that they do
