    Select Games in Arcade "waiting for update"

    Thanks this is useful - I’ll do this and see if it works. It’s not AT ALL necessary as I’ve not actually played any of the games beyond a quick look in 6 months - but not a real play - but would be nice to have a little nosy at them and mum might enjoy solitaire while I’m in the supermarket more...

    The M3 Photo Thread

    oooooohhhh now I love my M3, but looks wise... we'll have to agree to disagree there! I definitely wouldn't say no to a Maserati! Having experienced electric now - I'd say the shape of the Maserati, soft top - of course... for the handful of times thats useable in Scotland! Electric, and with...

    great thanks - will give it my best shot this afternoon and see what’s what - thanks!

    Gretna - speed bump broke mud flap

    oh really? I thought it looks like a rahl plug style fitting that housed the screw has ripped out too - which made me think it was a bigger issue in that a new screw wouldn’t have a home. I’ll hose it down today and see if I can get in there and see what I can find - thanks

    Gretna - speed bump broke mud flap

    I’ve been using the Gretna super chargers a bit recently as haven’t a charger at mums where I’m currently staying - unless you break the traffic flow system when you leave you need to go over a pretty chunky bricked speed bump to leave. I’ve had a gentle brush of the front right mud flap on...

    [UMC] Handle Temperature High error

    Hey! I had this happen to me on Wednesday morning - I’m using the ‘laptop charger’ for trickle charge while staying at mums. Have a dry box and an outdoor extension set up - I too got that error and cad simply wouldn’t charge - I had to drive an hour each way for work and couldn’t charge at...

    Wide Angle + Anti Glare Wingmirror Glass Upgrade

    hi sorry - not been on here for a while - I did not take action and order it - life got in the way! I’m sure the shipping will be a while and I just didn’t go online to order! Good reminder though - I’ll add this to the list of ‘not work things I need to actually take action on and get done’ :)...

    Select Games in Arcade "waiting for update"

    Anyone any news on this (I’m a bit late to the party) but have same problem - I’m on 2020.48.35.5 and I see a bunch of new games (I’ve never played the old ones...) but want to see if solitaire is like the old Microsoft Windows one of days gone by! It is ‘waiting to upload’ and my car is sat by...

    Driver LCD Display for Model 3

    Oh hello - me!! I really disliked that central analogue dial display and used the tiny LCD display that was about 1cm tall infront of me as I drove! (Sorry to break your clean run!) The irony is not lost on me that all of a sudden I’m back to central display again but now somehow it’s fine! I...

    Did supercharger network influence your buying decision

    Definitely the Supercharger Network clinched it for me, especially where they are in relation to my routes - I wouldn't have gone electric at all without that. I think when you have a charger at home (I don't currently) it makes a big difference - but when out and about, that and the technology...

    Features we didn't know we wanted?

    there are some handy things in this to be fair - and the hunt for a parking spot, choose your spot thing is great - that would be a handy one! as would many of those

    Regenerative Braking - regen

    HI Allan - you are free to pick my brain - I'm not sure my brain has much to offer on this one! or if there is any value to it! but sure! I'm not using my brakes much at all really - mainly responding to pedestrians or other cars doing unexpected things, or when parking. So i feel I grasped the...

    Regenerative Braking - regen

    I totally agree - this is my first car with regen (first elec car) and I’m so conditioned to mostly or even fully lift off the accelerator in an ICE to gradually slow for a roundabout/junction etc that I’m very conscious that I (think in my head!) that i look like a boy racer dramatically...

    Scotland: Energy Saving Trust loan limit is dropping

    Mine did take the full 5 days to arrive - despite the guys assurances it would likely be quicker - so I was glad I delayed a bit too. Exciting that you are getting a new car for Christmas - great end to 2020!

    Scotland: Energy Saving Trust loan limit is dropping

    ahhh - shame! Any card with a membership awards (almost all of the ones that are direct with amex) will offer it though and you can transfer from amex points to avios so unless time is a major issue, you could still set up a new card and use that (personal circs dependent of course) doesn’t help...

    Scotland: Energy Saving Trust loan limit is dropping

    hi - haven’t been online & missed this - if you aren’t sorted, DM me a name and email and I’ll pass it on for someone to email you - my guy said that’s the best route. It took me a couple days to set up so if you have time (in my opinion) it’s worth doing Edit - to be clear you don’t get 56...

    Scotland: Energy Saving Trust loan limit is dropping

    @john0897 I did it on my business card which isn’t BA it’s a plat business amex - and I do think it’s a straightforward ‘amex membership points’ thing and not third party cards like BA - but it’s worth talking to them anyway. You need to register with their fx payments then use it for a GBP...

    ahhhhh you joined in January! I've read that as the posting date - my mistake - ok great well once more I'll buy an accessory on your recommendation - the rest have worked out great! thanks

    Wide Angle + Anti Glare Wingmirror Glass Upgrade

    @Medved_77 all of your posts are so thorough and helpful - and this one is brilliant - thanks for sharing! Love the credit to your daughter also (and she played a vital part!) I don't think I have auto dimming in my sept 20 car (born in july 20) either as I don't seem to have any protection...

    Boot liners [all models]

    I bought on amazon on medved77's recommendation from thread called 'what did you do to your tesla today' and its really great - laser measured and fits my July 2020 built (sept 20 delivery) model 3 perfectly - looks a bit like bricks - and its so durable & looks like it came with the car -...

    Rotation & Zoom on car/object sensing

    Hello! I’ve just discovered that you can zoom in and rotate the mini image of your car on the screen! is this new.... or am I just late to the party realising this was possible?? I took photos but I can’t upload on 3G here so will add when I get home - just so shocked I had to share! :D

    When will you change your Tesla?

    Thai This is very interesting re we buy any car! and fills me with hope for resale value on the m3 when it is eventually going as that’s been a concern for me once the market is flooded with cheaper other cars and also Tesla’s will this one depreciate pretty sharply as it’s not longer best in...

    AMAZING!

    When will you change your Tesla?

    whaaaaaat?? The version three to charge in 15 mins instead of 30? I’ve only ever seen a v2 and thought only london Park Royal has this new super fast one, it does make sense if they put them there for long road trips but odd they didn’t choose a more heavily used location (Also those two are...

    New 2021 Model 3 and iPhone 12 pro max

    I think the point whoever it was made was that it’s getting wireless charging so why have the space for the cable? which if you have only wireless chargers makes sense but that isn’t always the case plus the lighting port is also for data and other uses as well as ‘old school’ wired charging...

    Round trip options

    Any drives I do of any great length take me past a few super chargers so I just tailor my stops to be there pop it on charge as long as I feel and then cruise on - I’m never under time pressure on my drives and allow plenty of time - I’d much rather stop for 15/20 mins I didn’t need and get a...

    When will you change your Tesla?

    I’m interested to see how the transition to more and more ev’s impacts the charging experience on longer trips. Right now the range of M3 is fine and I’ve never had to wait at a supercharger the way they do in LA and only twice had to even share a pair with another tesla. One of the...

    New 2021 Model 3 and iPhone 12 pro max

    Can’t speak to the pro max, but my 12 pro charges fine in my sept 20 model 3 with the Tesla fitted wireless charger the car came with, if that helps anyone :)

    The beginnings of v11 ?

    I think the FSD and new interface look great! Also re calls - I agree - I know it’s a car and not a glorified phone - but I really don’t like taking my eyes off the road to start, accept or end a call, and would like it if I could end especially a call with (dare I say it!) a ‘real button’ or...

    Scotland: Energy Saving Trust loan limit is dropping

    I nearly had to 'bridge' mine for a week and I called and asked the drawdown team about this as it does clearly state everywhere in their docs you can't pay ANYTHING except that £100 which was stressful for me! but he said as long as loan is approved and just waiting the 5 working days plus a...

    The M3 Photo Thread

    So I felt that the front of my model 3 was quite sporty from the side.... until you see it next to (your?) other car - if they ever bring an electric version out of those, it will be a real contender for Tesla!

    how is summon working out for you in there? I've not upgraded to FSD to get it - but this would be exactly why I'd want it

    Speed sign recognition too good :-(

    Side point - and I realise people will see that thats not a real road sign - but I'm really surprised that the van can have that on it?!

    FSD price increase this Monday

    I'm so torn on this one.... EVERYTIME there is an announcement! I bought the car outright through my company. (using a 0% loan for a chunk of it to spread the cost, but gain the tax benefit while it is on offer) If I buy the FSD before end of October, in same year I bought the car, it will be...

    What did you do to your Tesla Model 3 today?

    I have this exact problem! I just wanted this sort of effect - but bought light up discs with tesla logo that are rechargeable and they do any colour you want then stick to it....when its dark and they feel movement like the clunk of a cup - but they aren't amazing - and I love this! have you...

    Leaving People in the Car?

    so.... having smiled at the father left in car on dog mode comment several weeks ago... I left my mum in the car to go to the pharmacy about three weeks ago and (I was oblivious) she set off the car alarm twice while I was away which has TERRIFIED her! Dog mode now in use, but (of course for a...

    Views on Jaguar IPace

    Thats a GREAT deal on the ipace - waaaaay cheaper than BCH on the fully spec'd HSE we looked at, ex insurance..... For me the tesla superchargers are the winners, but for city driving and shorter drives with a charger at work/home it would be grand and really stunning inside - I just prefer the...

    What did you do to your Tesla Model 3 today?

    just popping back to say thanks for the recommendation - I got this trunk mat and it’s fab - feels like it came with the car - just ordered their frunk mat in the hope it is as good.

    Tesla to offer bird’s eye view

    The 2021 ipace model comes with this (avail in a couple weeks from our local dealership) its their upgrade from 2020 model - its called 360 cameras by them - but seems the same thing. I looked at the electrotek article and the pictures don't look anything like a tesla interface - very dated...

    Tesla Glasgow

    oh brilliant! I really wished there was one the day the Chargeplace Scotland had their outage, I had to go to Eurocentral as I was to scared I woudn't make it to Perth! Great to see more popping up! Looking forward to Aberdeen too :)

    So I just cancelled my TeslaFi subscription...

    I'm finding it really interesting to learn about having a Tesla (infact an EV) for the first time and get to know some of my usual trips and what to expect based on how I actually drive vs what ABRP thinks.... I also will never drive and only get somewhere with 5% charge - I'm too chicken! but...

    Residential Charging networks

    sounds great - and i think the apparent number disparity is that there will be 12 twin units giving 7kWh to 2 vehicles each - so the scheme provides 24 spaces to charge in total? Fab scheme to make EV's more accessible to those without off street parking
  45. M3-Newbie

    Opening the charger port with button on the charge handle no longer works!

    I've worked out alot of acronyms on this forum..... many of them i had to google.....! but can you clarify what this is?! is this the three pin plug charger then? I always thought it was the blue lead for a slow on street type 2 charger - but now I doubting that interpretation!! :confused:

    iOS Shortcuts + NFC

    on the security points; What do you more tech security minded people know about the stats app? yay or nae on that one? I'm using that on my iphone and it powers my siri to do allsorts - I never thought about source code/security... Also for my mac I just downloaded one called 'valet for...

    iOS Shortcuts + NFC

    Interesting... the siri thing is an interesting party trick, I've set it up but rarely use it - I like to press buttons! (quietly and discreetly...!) I've not used NFC but know 'of it' but as more of an android thing as Apple couldn't program them (in late 2018 when I last investigated it for...

    Enhanced Autopilot (EAP)

    Well the option has officially gone for me too! Well at least the FOMO has too! Intruigued to see how things develop next year with this Birdseye thing and their other updates. Meanwhile my car couldn’t decide if the Tesco man and his boxes At click and collect was a bin, a cone or a human so...

    [UK] 2020.40.x

    where do you live? Not to stalk you! So vaguely is fine! But curious as I’m in Scotland and hadn’t expected Winter problems... But now I may need to! And how does one fix a frozen door handle that sits entirely flush to the door.....?!

    Is anyone completely happy with their M3?

    I really love mine - and now it has a power trunk and frunk fitted by @Mr H - its perfect for my needs right now! every time I drive it i discover something new or am more impressed with it! And the superchargers are fab for me
