Hi guys - I've recently taken my private plate OFF the Lease vehicle (Lease Returns UK @ Tesla) in preperation for the car to be returned. However, as the registration was put onto a car owned (legally) by Tesla, the retention document is now being sent to Tesla, as the registered keeper. Has...

Hi all, A few times now I've come to charge my car at home, and the TWC (Gen 2) is off, with the fuse breaker down. Flicking the fuse box back up turns the TWC back on, and the charger is fine. A few charges go by, nothing changes. Then seemingly randomly the same happens again. Happening...

Morning all, Just wanted to share a recent experience on M3P car alarm. On the night of 04/09 from about 2000 until 0400 the next morning, the M3P car alarm triggered every 30-40 mins. It was raining quite heavily and it was dark. After VERY little sleep, I took it for a short drive (10...

Today, I went for a drive. I saw three M3's in the space of 10 minutes, another one parked up and last week a fifth white M3 pulled alongside me at some lights (we had a little chat). Seems the M3 massiv' is strong in Nottingham - And so a simple thread for Nottingham based M3 or Tesla drivers...

Hi guys, I consistantly have my car to charge from 0030 each night until SoC = 90%, which usually works fine for me. A few days ago I changed the settings to "Scheduled departure" to 100% as I was going on a long trip. I scheduled the departure time to 1800, with the car at 70% I calculated...

Hi all, there’s a lot on forums such as this about the latest and greatest software updates. im wondering if there’s any public information on software road mapping from Tesla, or if it’s purely a case of “wait for someone with latest update to confirm what’s in it?”...? if the later, what...

Hoya, I have installed aftermarket struts on the Frunk and trunk to allow the boot to fully open rather than just “pop”. However, the boot opens about 30% of the way quickly and is then really slow to open the rest of the way. mid this normal, or is it a defective strut/install? If so, I’ll buy...

Hi all, sorry for bombardment of questions... just so many questions! when on auto-pilot, I’ve seen a lot of videos saying you can “flick”/“scroll” the right dial on the steering wheel rather than slightly nudging the steering wheel itself to let the Tesla know you’re not dead at the wheel...

Hi guys, I scheduled my M3P last night for departure at 0900. When I got in the car, the battery was charged as required but the pre-conditioning wasn’t - in particular there were lots of dots and regen breaking was limited until the battery warmed up. am I right in thinking that scheduled...

Hi all, I've actually purchased a M3P (0-60mph 3.2s) but this weekend test-drove a MS P100D and, well, oh-my-god! In Ludicrous mode (Not Ludicrous+) the acceleration was insane, which led me to consider; How does the M3P compare to the MS P100D at different settings? Basically, I'm trying to...

Hi all, Just wondering how long on average it's taken for Tesla to receive people's down payments if leasing? I submitted mine on 17/06 and 2x days later still not received by Tesla, which is slightly concerning as a similar payment paying off my BMW lease was made at the same time and is...

Hi all, Quick Q: How many USB(A) ports are available for the M3? If the answer is 2x in the front area, how would one facilitate both a wireless charger (which I believe takes 2x ports) and also a pendrive for Sentury mode (1x port). Does a USB splitter increase battery drain?
