    Mud flaps/PPF kits

    My 70 plate M3LR Arrived with front flaps attached. However, it also had a pair of flaps in the frunk - are these intended for the rear or were they left in by mistake? Any other 70 owners found the same?

    Goodbye Aero Covers

    Decided to remove the aero covers and replace with the Tesla Wheel Cap Kit. Did look at cheaper kits on Amazon but opted For the Tesla ones after reading some of the horror reviews of the others. How many new owners decide to shed the covers at the expense of a few extra miles? I just hope I...

    The Model 3 - 2020 Q3 Order Thread

    I’m picking my car up on Tuesday but I’m a bit concerned after reading the story on BBC News today that I will need to have a chip implanted in my brain or bring a pig with me or something. Please could someone clarify.

    Didn’t you notice that your car was parked upside down! Seriously though - Thanks for the info, very encouraging, although my handover day is Sept 1st and therefore I’m expecting it to be much busier.

    Dartford Delivery experiences

    Just received my email from Tesla with my registration number and requesting signature for Sales Declaration and Certificate of Examination. I'm assuming that everyone else has signed this once you collected the car and Tesla are just being overly efficient?

    The Model 3 - 2020 Q3 Order Thread

    Same for me - I ended up ringing and received it by email within 5 minutes. As mine is a Company Car purchase, I wanted to make sure it was all done and dusted way in advance as our accounts department are notoriously slow.

    Anyone use the Hansshow Model 3 Heads-up-display

    I have a HUD in my current BMW 3-Series which is due to be replaced with a M3LR next month. The BMW HUD is excellent and I will really miss it when I switch to the Tesla.

    Been given 1 September as a handover date. Does this mean the car is also registered on 1 September (i.e. 70 plate) or is it registered before?

    I just received a call from Tesla in Dartford to confirm that I have been matched to a car on the Grand Dahlia. As we all know, the ship isn't due to arrive until late August and I have been told to expect it during the 1st or 2nd week of September. Still no VIN showing up on line but at least...

    So What Do We Think Of The Polestar 2?

    I had placed a £1000 deposit on a Polestar 2 back at Christmas but having read the recent UK motoring press reviews, I have cancelled my pre order and instead opted to order a M3LR. The Polestar just didn’t have enough good points to outweigh the range and supercharger network of the Tesla...
