EDP running a story that an unnamed car dealer is going into the old Lexus site on Reepham Road. Could be Tesla. https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/plans-for-car-showroom-in-reepham-road-hellesdon-8403710

I have really noticed an increase of phantom breaking issues since the last update. I can also recreate the issue. In summary as you go past a junction on your nearside with a car waiting to pull out, as my car gets level (passenger door in line with the front of the waiting car) it slams on...

Hi all. I have a August 2020 M3 Long Range. Just done 9000 miles. It has super charged 3 times over that period. I charge to 75% daily. I use a Zappi charger that charges slowly off my solar panels. Typically between 1 and 5 kW. Car is kept in a garage unless being used. I have charged to...

My local paper EDP Norwich has this report and dashcam footage of a lorry dropping bricks onto a model 3. Well impressed with how the car took it and the passengers unharmed. Well worth a watch. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/norfolk-tesla-wrecked-by-blocks-falling-from-lorry-8006612

When Chelmsford Service Centre returned my car to me last week. The guy that dropped it off said it should still be this year and it's North of the city Centre. So not Hall Road, which is a shame as I'm south of Norwich.

I would put money on it being object aware acceleration. It isn't just stuff in front of you if the car next to you is pretty close or there are railings near you it will often hesitate on full bore acceleration. Turn it off for a bit and I bet you won't see any hesitation in acceleration.

Sorry to hear that - that's exactly how my journey started with them. Stone chips and road ware. Mine was 2 months old with 2000 miles. I took photos of the effected area, drove it straight to the Service Centre. Tesla had the car for a week before saying they weren't doing it. When I went to...

Speaking from experience they don't care about independent analysis - i got some and they wouldn't accept it. They finally agreed that i take it to a Tesla Approved Body Shop which they chose. I did that - the bodyshop report was that there were lots of paint issues e.g. insufficient paint...

How did you get on?

LeasePlan

5m 40 Same issue but Tesla fixed it straight away. Had more luck than me.

I am leasing my M3LR. And no it wouldn't be classed as fair wear. When I showed my lease company they said it would if it was the end of the 4 year lease and it looked like that, they would charge for a respray. However as soon as they saw it they said a car of this age shouldn't look like that...

For those of you with one or two missing bits. That's how mine started, it just got worse.

HI all, I did post about this before Christmas. I got my M3LR in August and after 2 months and less than 2000 miles I had the same issue. Tesla would not entertain fixing it, i was told it was caused by stone chips and therefore not covered by warranty. They are adamant that there is nothing...

The directions appear in the visualisation window when the map is completely covered by another screen, like the audio controls or the energy usage screen. As soon as the map is visible again they stop.

Hi all. Does anyone have an recommendations for firms in the Norwich area that can do ceramic coating and PPF? Many thanks in advance.

Has anyone that leased a vehicle received one of these emails?

Still trying to fight this.... here is the latest updates 1). In the week from picking the car up when they refused to repair the rocker panels and taking it back to have a new bonnet and lights even more paint has peeled off in existing and new areas. 2). Tesla's response Dear Jon, Thank...

Firstly thank you all for your help, suggestions and support. An update for those that are interested. As well as the photos submitted via the Tesla app The SC requested additional photos for the engineer to investigate before the car was booked in. I have collected the car today from the...

An update for those that are interested..... Here is Tesla's response.... It would be very difficult for me to comment on the expectations of normal wear and tear as there are varying factors that can influence this such as road surfaces, driving style etc… I have spoken with the technician...

The reason it is a month on is simply I have had to wait 3 weeks for a service centre appointment. They have had the car 8 days and on the 8th day told me they won't repair it. I got the car through a lease, so I have spoken to the lease company as they would need to return the car to Tesla...

Thank you all for your help. I have sent all the photos and exchange of emails from the service centre to the lease company and they are going to look into it. As the Service Centre wanted lots of photos before I took the car in, over and above those from the App. At no point did they say we...

So nearly a month on from when I originally posted this. Still no joy. The Service Centre have said its caused by stone chips and therefore not covered by the warranty. I have challenged this and said a 2 month old car with barely over 2000 miles on it should not be suffering from road rash. I...

Open the car door. I'm not taking the ..... but i had this the other day when i wanted to preheat the Car. Went down to the car opened the door then closed it. Tried the app and it worked and has been since. I just think my car, like my children was in a deep sleep and just didn't want to wake up.

Thanks. I had looked at them but they have been out of stock for the last 3 months.

I have had it a few times from a stand still on my LR AWD. I put it down to the traction control detecting or thinking it was going to slip. Its frustrating when it does it, luckily we have so much power that momentarily lag still means the car is quick off the mark.

Hi all, My Model 3 came with the front mud guards installed, and came with some splash guards for the front which I haven't attached. Does anyone have a recommendation of where I can get a pair of rear mud guards? Ideally the non screw ones that attach using the bottom bumper bolt and the...

A word of warning about removing them. I have a paint defect on my 2 month old Model 3. Paint is coming off in flakes on the rocker sills. The first question I was asked is could I take a picture of the front wheels. When I asked why, it was to check the mud guards were still in place. They told...

Moderator comment - renamed thread from 'How to fight this?' Hi all. I need some advice. My model 3 LR is two months old and I have noticed that the paint is coming off the lower sills on both sides. Being told its stone chips that are causing the damage which I don't dispute. However this is a...

Yeah, tried the wheels. As you look at my bonet the right hand side is up. So the rubber wheel is turned in as far as it will go to bring it down and its still not enough. It looks just like the one on Top Gear. Service center are saying it needs a new bonnet and bumper.

I noticed the water / condensation as well. If mine was a 20 plate I would have thought it was my car. I have water in my rear lights and the same frunk gap on the right if you look at the car. When mine goes into the service centre this week I can imagine them saying they are all like that, did...

I have been waiting since August for mine to replaced. I keep getting told that there is no stock in the UK and they have placed an order. This is with the Chelmsford SC. I am bringing a great deal of pleasure to passers-by in the Supermarket and outside the School who love to tell me the lights...

With all the heavy rain we had yesterday I have found that all my rear light have a lot of condensation in them. This includes the outer light sections and the ones on the boot lid. How common is this? The reason I ask is my car is less than two months old, and has already had new rear lights...

Just had my first Service Centre visit. My snagging list that I gave them before I even drove the car was; A few paint issues, one scratch and some dust / dirt under the lacquer Passenger front door alignment Frunk alignment Under tray not secure Rear light moisture So they had the car two...

So when mine was delivered a few weeks ago, you don't accept it. As soon as its off the trailer and on your drive they take a photo and job done, its yours. Obviously they give you the key cards. They won't wait around for you to inspect it as they are a third party and not Tesla. That said my...

Just to clear up all the 'mud flap' talk. You DO NOT get rear mud flaps. They fit small mud flaps to the front and in the boot or frunk you will find a pair of splash guards with sticky pads already attached. These fix onto the front mud flaps to extend them. They do not fit on the rear. I to...

Its well worth paying more for a Zappi charger over some of the usual suspects. Even on a cloudy day I am topping the car up after a short run to Tesco and back and its not cost me a penny. Screenshot_20200818-140247_myenergi by Jon L posted Aug 18, 2020 at 5:32 PM

I had mine installed 2 weeks ago and paid £865.60 for a Zappi tethered charger install. It was £12.15.60 then they subtracted the £350 OLEV grant.

My car was delivered on Tuesday and has some issues so is booked into Dartford SC to get them sorted for 26th August. Got a call today asking if I would like to move it to Chelmsford as its closer to me so I guess they are opening sooner or at least the Service side is.

My car delivered Tuesday had front mud flaps fitted and a pair of rear mud flaps on the boot for me to fit if I want to.

My car was delivered on a trailer but 42% charge in it. Doesn't the Dartford SC have super chargers there you can use?

My car arrived today - I can confirm I got USB C and Wrieless charging. My VIN was 75. Feel a bit mixed. Paint looks great apart from a scratch inside the drivers door frame. Panel gaps alright as is door alignment. Rear wheel arch has either a lump of paint or weld on the bottom of it. So a...

Tesla sent my delivery docs yesterday. Car is being delivered today. Waiting for the tracking text now.

Got mine this morning - delivery on the 11th

Hi all. In just over a week I will receive my M3 LR. Its a lease through LeasePlan. I would really like to fit a copy of the performance carbon spoiler. My question is, is this going to be a problem when I return the car at the end of the lease? I would leave it on as opposed to trying to remove it

I had a Zappi installed inside my garage yesterday. That lasted all of 5 minutes. The electrician fitted it and when tested said it wasn't charging the correct amount. He spent a long time on the phone to Zappi who said it must be a faulty unit so now I need to wait for a replacement. Oddly...

Got my text yesterday. Home delivery for a white / black interior LR on the 11th, VIN is 754***

I'm very jealous of you all that have your delivery dates and even a registration number! I have a VIN and been told its on the Glovis Sun but when I spoke to Tesla yesterday they said we haven't scheduled your delivery yet, only collections have been scheduled. They did confirm that they will...

It's okay. I have jus been contacted and I have a VIN :-) I'm on Glovis Sun
