I did the round trip to the Alps twice last summer (2021). Troyes is a good stop, huge shopping centre and huge car park. Found that Cuisseaux - Aire du Poulet was a nice stop on a quieter motorway, but not sure if that is on your route. I found the motorway superchargers very poorly...

Wanted for Model 3: Front number plate holder lower bar. Fell off (and lost) after minor knock in car park.

Thank you all for the information and advice here. May 2021 car, first time I had the no wifi problem. Wasted over a hour this morning trying to resolve, then found this thread. Did a two button reset, did not have foot on brake, did not remove USB storage. Screen went blank after about...

What have people done about Planning permission before installing solar in a non conservation area. I know that solar is allowed under the "Permitted Development" rules, but I have seen one installer's contract that says it is my responsibility to to ensure that I have permission. I assume...

Thanks for those giving install quotes. For comparison I have been given a quote of £17,000 for 16 x 385w panels (total 6.16kW) , inverter and 11kWh battery. A lot higher than other quotes here, but I can find no one else even able to provide a quote.

Tesla releases big, new software update with Disney+, Car Wash Mode, hotspot, and more Jul. 29th 2021 Range display You can now switch between battery percentage and distance units by tapping the range display next to the battery icon.

Eurotunnel terminal Folkestone. Only available if booked on crossing to Calais. I know this is obvious, but it is displayed on the Tesla Superchargers map without any comments about being restricted access.

On my 2021 Chinese M3 Long Range I recently put in an extra charge in advance of a long journey. It was the first time that I had charged the car over 284mi/86%. I found that the charge was about 10% slower that at lower levels of battery charge. This was with a 3pin lead at home.

I could not do this at Brent Cross - they asked me to sign before I was shown to the car. Might be fun to ask if you could take the car to the Brent Cross superchargers before having to sign, but I did not try. Mine was a mid May 2021 collection - I had 40%/133 miles on my display. Went...

I had everything. Mine was an early Q2 collection from Brent Cross. I suspect as we get nearer end Q2 there will be more missing items, and cannibalisations from other vehicles.

To add to post above. In May 2021 Tesla told me the OLEV grant (£3,000) would expire on 23 Jun 2021, meaning I would pay about £1,500 more if I deferred collection beyond then.

I very much appeciate all your replies and suggestions. Today's drive was too short to be a worthwhile test. Will see what happens on the drive back tomorrow.

Thanks, will try that on a short trip this morning. At least Norfolk is cold enough for a meaningful test.

Thanks for all the replies, but still not clear how to direct warm air to the foot well. I am sure I tried all possible settings on my Monday trip. I will try again on the return trip tomorrow. It took me five minutes to set the heating on my new Dacia, a car which is fraction of the cost of...

New M3LR owner, first long trip. Three hours to Norfolk Monday (mixed weather - 15C, showers). Found the hot bum button by accident within seconds. Spent the whole of the journey looking for the hot feet button. I stopped five times trying different settings of the heating/climate controls as...

Definitely insist on Autopilot with Direct line - should get 5% discount. On my DL "Motor Insurance Schedule" (document received in the post after I paid for the insurance) there is a section for modifications which says "Tesla Auto Pilot".

The Gen2 has a very heavy cable, it's horrible & unwieldy, and unnecessary for most installations in UK. Have a look at the video above - at about 20 minutes in.

Brent Cross collection. That is correct, no need to go to the Tesla store inside the shopping centre.

Some people have asked about Brent Cross collection. This is a repeat of my earlier post, but I can add some details now I have collected my car. The collection area is the Brent Cross overflow carpark. This is an area to the south west of the main Brent Cross building and car parks. It is...

Wanted - Tesla Model 3 Roof Rack (as Tesla describe them/it - I would call them/it roof bars) Only needed for a trip in the next month or two - would pay a fee to hire the rack.

Fixed deal Octopus Go contracts will get the old price until their contract term ends. Glad that I didn't switch to Agile last year.

Get back to them and ask again that they register the referral link. It has been done before, so worth a few more attempts.

I am collecting my MR3L from Brent Cross, which has not been used for collections for almost a year. The collection area is a Brent Cross "overflow" carpark. This is an area to the south west of the main Brent Cross building and car parks, between the North Circular Road and the river Brent...

Latest on insurance. As I posted earlier, Direct Line is a good choice for low mileage. Also get 5% off for mentioning Tesla autopilot - that has been mentioned before with Churchill, but it also works with Direct Line (Churchill is owned by Direct Line). See my longer post in the the 2021...

Latest on Direct Line. I posted elsewhere that Direct line gave me best quote (about £500) as I do low mileage. I finalised the quote yesterday. Hope the following helps. ● Phone free call 0800 051 0036 (can't be finalised online because registration number is not on DVLA yet) ● Call was...

I have received five invoices so far (I ordered a long time ago) and some invoices had the Reg number and some didn't. My collection date is only two weeks away, that might make a difference.

Will collect my M3LR on 19 May 2021 at Brent Cross. Looking at feedback in this and the 2020 thread, Brent Cross has not been used for many months - (it at all?), don't know what to expect there. Pleased with Brent Cross, as it is the easiest Tesla location for me to get to. As has been...

More on the insurance increase from quotes in Q1 2021. I have just tried a Direct Line quote with a low annual mileage (5,000), and price is similar to the other quotes (Churchill etc) I was given in Q1 2021. If I put in mileage of over 10,000, the Direct Line quote is roughly the same level...

Tesla are getting better. I have just done a £1 test transfer and the £1 showed in my Tesla account immediately. Timescale might vary depending on what UK bank you use.

I was given Thorpe Park in February (when I deferred collection), but now I have been offered Brent Cross collection in May. Thorpe Park was a huge site, Brent Cross must be far limited as regards space. Have others been offered Brent Cross ?

Anyone here who placed their order some time ago, and expecting delivery shortly? My Tesla Account still shows the old price - wondering when and how Tesla adjust for the 18 Mar 2021 elimination of the £3,000 Plug in Grant.

I was on the Go tariff one week after Octopus took over my supply from E.ON. The Smart meter was only installed (by E.ON) 17 days before the switch to Octopus was confirmed.

Same here latest quote about 50% higher than two months ago. Both my quotes used an identical 21 day lead time - so that wasn't the cause of the huge increase.

I am still waiting for my car (my choice), and this thread prompted me to update the last quote I was given in Feb 2021. In Feb 2021 Churchill was £428 for an M3LR. Churchill quote today is £646 - over 50% more in just two months. Seems the the £646 quote I was given today is more in line...

Don't know how lease companies order cars. Cash buyers have a big choice of specification from the 250 model 3s showing as available inventory.

Just checked - still shows about 250 Model3 cars on Tesla UK Inventory webpage - New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla

ev-cpo They did free supercharging for a year in the last few days of December 2020, and they were never showing as many as 250 cars on the website in the middle of December.

Tesla website is showing 250 Model 3s available for delivery before the end of March. Now is a great time to place an order for instant delivery. Likely Added Bonus, if you wait until the end of the month to accept delivery you might get free supercharging for a year, and free FSD for three...

Direct Debit was taken on time from my new bank account. Octopus account now shows the direct debit received, and my Octopus balance is back in credit. I don't know what triggered the Octopus warning message, was it the new bank account for the direct debit, or the fact that Octopus raised a...

Interesting how people see different things depending on what they are looking for. All I am interested in is getting a plate with GB on the green strip, but all the photos posted recently show a plain green strip. I wonder if anyone has asked Tesla if there is a GB plate option.

In the video posted earlier the number plate has a plain green strip with no GB. It that the same with all the cars collected in the past few days?

I would appreciate a photo of a number plate, all the recent photos shown the green strip on the left, but no detailed view.

Process was painless (by Tesla standards) using online chat. Person asked if I wanted EAP instead (which I didn't), but they did not press. My account was changed with reduced purchase price next day, and new Order Agreement issued at same time. This is for a cash purchase. Reasons ●...

I will report back next week. If there is a problem with the direct debit, I'm hoping they don't bother with the 39 pence I owe them.

Octopus do do strange things. I changed my direct debit a week ago to a new bank account - all accepted and confirmed by Octopus. Today I was sent a bill by email, and they say "As you have no Direct Debit in place" please pay off your outstanding balance. Needless to say, I will not be...

Thanks for posting. Is that VIN for an SR+ or an LR.

Someone has just rang Tesla UK for delivery information (see shipping thread) and was told "the long range will have a 74kw LG lithium phosphate battery (= LFP)" Suggestion is that may be wrong information though.

Another guess would be VIN 1st 8 chars = LRW3F7FB for the China LRs. The "F" at 7th position is for a LFP battery. But I'm not convinced that this "F" would be used, even if the battery were not exactly the same as in US LRs. That means the LRW3F7EB suggested above is just as possible.

Any ID.3s slid down London drives yet. We need to know.
