The Guys at Salisbury ATS are pretty good. Had several sets of tyres on my M3 and they knew their way around the car very well. No need to explain a thing and they also have the jacking pucks. Chatting to the guy on reception he noted that they were seeing them very often as a lot of lease...

This can be a problem trying to get in most evenings as everyone is queuing for the McDonald or KFC. A bit tight but you can squeeze by on the right. Facilities in the co-op petrol station aren’t too bad. it was nice to visit today and gain a 100miles before the cars I had passed in the queue...

On price rises I am at Amesbury now and it’s 29p/kw. Sure it was only 23p/kw only a week or so ago. Have I missed a price rise?

update. Tesla can't get hold of the tyres either. Booked back in with ATS for the non acoustic version.

I tried to book in with ATS today for a new set of rears on my M3LR. Got a call back to say that the earliest they could get hold of the Michelins was mid may!!! The chap was very helpful and has spoken with Michelin directly and a broker. He suggested calling Tesla direct to see if they could...

Pretty straight forward, but just make sure everything is really clean and dry before you pop them on. Fitting as above. having had the long ones on for a couple months now I should not have bothered. They scrape on everything and you can’t tell the difference between an ‘ok’ noise and...

Thanks both. Think I’ll stick with the appointment. Not surprisingly there is condensation in the unit...

I noticed the right hand side indicator Flashing double speed earlier this week. Car is on 11k miles. On my previous cars a sure sign of a blown bulb and an easy fix. First thought was, are they traditional bulbs or LED and surely the wiring on the car would be a bit more complicated to avoid...

I previously had a faulty UMC and simply popped into the service station in Bristol. Kindly did a very quick check and handed me a new cable. Not sure if you can really do that at the minute and I may have just got lucky with stock.

Order arrived today. Despite the order tracking going live on Friday it didn’t arrive with DHL until yesterday evening.

Surprisingly received the order tracking email this morning. The order is in Tamworth. No sign of it having come through Eindhoven.

Moderator comment - thread renamed for clarity from "Shop delivery delays ...." Ordered a replacement keycard on Saturday (9/1) from the online shop. Usual order invoice and confirmation came through promptly enough. I haven't received the card yet or any tracking information. I have previously...

I don’t play the games but that would change if Pod Racer were loaded!

This is great and I am sure it will be a very well used site given how busy this stretch of motorway is. Unless a southbound application pops up in due course, the M3 M27 southbound route from London is going to remain tricky for charging.

There are two new 150kw chargers waiting to be unwrapped at the Beckington services just off the A36 in somerset. I’m dropping in every time I pass to check whether they have been switched on. Looking forward to two weeks of free vend there before never using them again!

I’ve had my M3 as a company car through Arval since June. Had a list of hundreds to choose from but just couldn’t resist. I previously had a polo blue GT as a company car (excellent little thing). For me the tax saving is something I just couldn’t ignore when looking at alternatives. I know I...

Had a Polo Blue GT before the Model 3. I think the only things I miss are some form of noise so people know you are there on a country lane and a rear windscreen wiper!

Faith in waving restored today by the driver of a white M3 with blue go faster stripe! Very enthusiastic waving.

I have a similar set up and have been doing the same for several months. Works well but I do plan to install a charger in due course. i have an outside socket but it is on its own circuit with good protection. What I try to do is make use of cheap/free destination charging as much as I can to...

You’re not alone. Updated this evening and have always had the same problem. It’s almost like it forgets the WiFi when it updates

I called and went through to vehicle functions. The guy sounded quite hopeful and said the data was held for 72 hours. They sent an email within the hour requesting further details. I’ll let you know what comes of it.

Thanks for this. I am hoping it’s actually the courier who regularly goes through at warp speed but my gut says it isn’t....

Oddly not. Any idea on how much of a nudge is needed? May try some gentle rocking/nudging to test it’s working. Sentry mode definitely working though

I live on a rather narrow road with on street parking so there has always been a risk of taking a glancing blow from a passing vehicle. The delivery vans are my biggest worry but I must give credit to the skilled driving of our local bin lorry driver. Today I nipped out and to my horror It had...

I wonder if it would simply mean you could plug the second in (leave it and walk away) and it will start charging when the other leaves. Would be interested to hear from someone who has tried

This happened when I visited the Exeter sc on a busy Friday over the summer. All stalls full and an s pulled up next to an m3 on the end stall. There is a space that you can share the other side. S driver politely asked if he could share and everyone was happy. Must of slowed things though, but...

Muppet here left his key card in his wallet, in the car... Called Tesla, on hold for 50 minutes which wasn't a surprise. Very helpful at the other end of the line and managed to unlock remotely. They did say it was a 'massive outage' and really had no idea when it would be fixed. Still nothing...

Just disappeared for me as well. Heightened panic as my wife is five days overdue..... frantically searching for the key card!!!

Thought I would reawaken this thread following some recent success. We have a listed property with on street parking. No pavement so the car is parked right outside the house fortunately. We were planning an extension so needed listed building consent. We discussed popping on a charger with...

Thanks for all the tips. Have now booked this for a mid December crossing. Very easy to reserve through Irish Ferries. Zap map suggests it’s a 7kw charger so hoping to added a good 60-80miles depending on the crossing length. as I am driving with young kids it should hopefully negate one of...

Planning a trip to family in NI later this year and will be taking the Holyhead Dublin route. I see there is free charging on board and would like to know if anyone has had any experience of using it? I see there is an option to reserve when booking which is great. should hopefully avoid...

Got it. But what do we all do when we eventually see an MY on the road?

I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of waves I have had from fellow M3 drivers. I do feel a bit out of place waving to other models though, and that this may be acting above my station. Is there an etiquette? Should I wait for the MS to wave first (although I doubt I'd have the...

Seem to be having exactly the same problem. Tried at a different property so definitely car or cable. Logged with Tesla a week ago and still waiting for them to get back to me

Bottom line is that this is a great addition to the network in a much needed location that we can all benefit from. We also get to watch all the ‘other’ cars queue up for the one polar charger round the corner! Jokes on them really.

Having just tried to find planning apps for a couple other older sites (Bristol Lysander) I wasn't able to. Taking a look at the planning regs, I think they may be able to get away with installing the chargers without planning, if it is already a car park that is. The other kit may need planning...

Thanks all. Reboot worked a treat!

So. It all went a bit to pieces today. Had my M3 for a month and updated last week. Long drive today and needed to be on the phone a lot. Click for voice control and nothing. Give it a few more goes and eventually up pops ‘Microphone Currently Available’. Eventually got fed up and called Tesla...

It’s also interesting that there is nothing showing as coming soon here on the Tesla map. Perhaps it’s replacing the suggested new service centre in Southampton? Probably a more practical location.

On closer inspection this may be just standard wall chargers. That would be a shame

The plans showing the signs indicate vehicle charging! Very welcome news. I pass this place a lot. Would be really handy

If you can get your RN number check the inventory and if a match comes up call Tesla and see if they will allocate it to you. Worked for me. Was surprised though.

Seems to be a lot of stock appearing on the inventory In Southampton. My order was scheduled for July. Saw the inventory this morning, called Tesla, they spoke to Arval and my delivery is confirmed for the end of may now. Offered to pick it up but they said they would prefer to deliver which was...

Hi. Had an ordered for a M3 LR go through with Arval and on to the dealer on 17th April. Estimated delivery through Arval suggests mid-July. Looks like a few people have seen movement on very recent orders in the last couple of days. Any thoughts on chances of an early delivery? Worth picking up...
