I have the opposite issue. I upgraded from an iPhone Pro Max to a 15 Pro and whereas my car could be opened if I was within 2 or 3 metres, it now opens easily from inside the house or in line of sight in the garage from a distance of about 8 metres! Going to have to turn Bluetooth off regularly...

2020 M3P. Normally charged to 90% daily. 46,500 miles. 264 miles @ 90%.

Not just UK. Early June I had this when driving back through Belgium towards France.

Yep mines the same. It now hesitates where it never would have before. Same route and time every day, so it’s one I know well.

Good morning, thought I’d give an update and thank everyone who commented with ideas. Thank you! 😊 The noise was thought to be the compressor fan by Tesla but upon dismantling to change it they found a small stone that had become trapped around the fan causing the noise. Stone removed, system...

It’s booked in with Tesla now - I think it may be the compressor as I only hear it with the A/C on.

Hi, I have what I believe to be a pulley or belt to do with the A/C issue whereby it is creating quite a loud noise. It is booked in with Tesla but not until a couple of weeks time for the first appointment. It seems to be noisy when I come to a stop and disappears if I turn the A/C off. Fan...

My 2020 M3P with all changes - tinted rear windows and decorative changes to the dash (carbon fibre) divulged was £460 last year and they wanted £780 at renewal. Phoned them up and got it down to £600 which is not too bad based upon it covering 18,000 miles a year with business use. My wife is...

Agreed. They have a good network. I was in the Netherlands in April and visited 7 supercharger sites. The only vehicles there were Teslas. I’m guessing the majority of non-Tesla EVs use the good existing infrastructure such as Fastned and Allego.

My experience a couple of years ago was different. I got a flat tyre on the M20 and was recovered on a low loader 45 miles away to the nearest place that had a tyre in stock. When checking the app whilst on the low loader (I was sitting in it due to covid restrictions not allowing me in the cab)...

Ouch! I won’t be ever going to them then! 😯

The Pirelli‘s and Michelins are dear and seemingly difficult to get hold of too. I have experienced a rapid deflation event and then a puncture 1000 miles later, both on the right hand rear tyre. First cost £210, the second £285. Difficult to get hold of and the second t8ne I had to come back...

Sorry to hear of your plight this is another reason (potholes / tyre availability) why I recommended the 18” wheels. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Yesterday I did a trip in my M3P 2020 model. 4 up with the car laden with holiday gear, I went from Ashford, Kent to the Amesbury supercharger and used 50% battery to do the 133 miles. Not bad for 7c (although not particularly cold). Pretty pleased with that I was trying to see what was...

Me too. Haven’t looked yet though.

No, other than if the phone is in my back pocket, I’ve had no trouble at all in 2 years.

I’ll refer you to it again. The link is to a company that should be able to provide you with the answers you seek. I’ve tried to help, so don‘t understand why you feel the need to be sarcastic. 🙄

I’ve told you they fit my M3P. I’ve got an idea for you. How about ringing and speaking to the company I kindly provided the link to?

Specs can be looked up online, can confirm they clear the performance brakes no problems. More detail here: Model 3 winter wheels

I got these ones from Evquip - 18” with winter tyres and including the tps for £1350. Very pleased with them.

I use mine in this situation every day and thanks to operation Brock on the M20 have had lots of practice. I may be lucky, but I use TACC every day for the 16 mile section each way without having any phantom braking incidents. I have had them around a year ago, but when passing a truck I now...

My point exactly. Totally agree. 😊

For those that are not confident then chill mode has its place. Leaving it in sport or standard mode is not macho, nor does it make you a speed freak. What is does give you is the ability to regulate your acceleration by judicial use of the throttle pedal. I find it to be very linear and the...

All I can say is other than only a couple of times where it has dry wiped the screen, my car auto wipers have been fine for at least the last 6 months. No issues. Slow enough in drizzle and a good speed in torrential rain.

Definitely not entitled. People either lack the common courtesy to abide by the rules or the common sense to read the (large) signs! Fines would sort both these issues…

My brakes are the same as the OP too.

Any recommendations for tinting the rear windows in the Kent area please?

I am interested in this too. I have a door seal kit which I haven’t git around to fitting yet, but the road noise on my M3P is very pronounced. Not because the car is quiet otherwise, but because it‘s noisy. My BMW‘s were significantly quieter as was my last Mondeo estate. Its on par road noise...

I believe they said something like the amount used or if unable to retrieve readings within 7 days an average amount of all participants would be reimbursed. Found it now. Hopefully that isn’t the case.

If you set up a Spotify account on a 3 month trial, it logs in fine. I was then able to log out of that and log back in with my Tesla account and it’s been fine since. Not ideal, but worked for me.

I had this too. I created a Spotify account on the 3 month trial, which works fine. I tried logging out and then trying to log back in to the Tesla account which worked fine again.

Hi, others get carried away with their opinions around the range! But in answer to your actual question, whilst it is based on rated, you will see less than that figure. I can tell you my 2020 M3P was rated at 329 miles, but the highest figure I have got either at 100% charge or based on...

With the Model S you have the option in the settings of rated range or typical range. The rated range is incredibly over optimistic (as in the M3). If you change to the typical miles setting you will find it a iot more realistic.

I personally use the inserts, however, I doubt you will damage the seat by not using them. You only have a bit of metal or plastic touching the seat material and properly installed they don’t move, so there should be no propensity for rubbing.

Thanks for the recommendation. Did you have the rear screen done too? If you left the rear screen, do you find the side windows only has made a big difference? Thank you!

I worry about... 1. Getting a flat tyre - I had a blow out and was stranded at the side of the motorway a week after getting the car. New tyre. I then picked up a large nail in the same new tyre one month later which my local tyre shop said couldn’t be repaired due to it being a foam lined...

Sorry for the silly question, I don’t really use Superchargers to be sure what you mean. Am I correct in thinking when preconditioning for a supercharger previously it would stop the preconditioning at around 17% even if you were close or far from the supercharger, but now it will do the same...

Evening all, Has anybody had any good experiences or able to give recommendations for window tinting a Model 3 in Kent (ideally Ashford area). I’m wanting the rear side windows done, I believe tinting the fronts wouldn’t be legal due to amount of light coming in. Is the general consensus having...

As the other guys have said this is pretty normal. I find if doing a reasonable journey at speeds less than 50mph, I can get close to the rated miles. However, on a highway at 75mph you will a,ways consume energy at a rate faster than the rated miles projects. It is a shame that the model 3...

Worth a go... I have sent you a message...

I was expecting good things from the Tesla premium audio package too. I have to agree the Harman Kardon system in my previous BMW M3 and Bose in the Nissan GTR were much better. Disappointing as the reviews seemed to state it was really good. For me the clarity is fairly good, but there is a...

Thanks for the reply. I get all the possible variables. However, it doesn’t account for the fact that the typical range setting on the Model S does provide a great deal of accuracy even allowing for the variables you correctly state above. Thus my question why don’t we have this setting on the...

Hi everyone, My car has gone into Tesla for some snagging issues to be sorted and during this time I have been loaned a Model S 100D. The range on this car is great and I noted that if I travel for 50 miles that the range would also go down by 50 miles, or maybe even a fraction less, not by...

Thanks Alan - signed up last night.

I would like to give Teslafi a go... could I have a referral please?

I seem to be losing range overnight too. Not as much as you, but I have noticed that 90% charge has changed from 279 miles to 275 as well.
