    Personalised Reg

    Not true, but I thought it was until recently. My wife was selling her car and when she applied to have the private reg removed the DVLA issued a completely different reg to the original. When we enquiried they said it happens from time to time due to "business need" whatever that means.

    It's a Samsung S20, this feature only seems to work on Android it appears

    Locking a Model 3

    I often lock mine by tapping my phone below the drivers b pillar camera. It does work. I assume this is based on NFC but the interesting thing is I've never set it up as a physical key like the two keycards you get with it; only as a phone key using the Tesla App. Perhaps the App itself creates...

    Camera condensation

    My passenger side b pillar camera suffers from the condensation problem. It's booked into service next week. They've pre ordered a replacement unit. In my opinion the temporary blinding of one of the b pillar cameras suggests a fault with that camera or its housing. You could only consider...

    All weather mats wrong region?

    Had a closer look at these today. They're made by a company called Weather-Tech, as indicated by a stamp on the rear. Also on the reverse of the mat on my driver's side (i.e. the one with the cut out for the clutch foot rest) it clearly states "Front Left" and has a diagram of the car indicating...

    All weather mats wrong region?

    Ah. Ok I see now. Tesla said they'll swap the drivers seat and steering wheel over to the passenger side to resolve the matter :D

    All weather mats wrong region?

    I just asked the service manager for a set of mats. He later rang back to say that he'd also thrown in rubber mats for the trunk and frunk.

    Radio annoyances

    Yep totally with you there but sometimes there's no network connectivity and silence ensues. I wish there was someone storage available for Spotify to cache tracks like on our smartphones

    Radio annoyances

    When I hit next and previous it jumps into DAB mode rather than search for the next tunable FM frequency.

    All weather mats wrong region?

    These are exactly them! It's not the footrest that's the issue. That's still on the same side of the mat whether it's LHD or RHD. Your clutch foot is still your clutch foot no matter where you drive. It's the fitting of the mats along the sides of the footwells that's the issue. The left had...

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    I think that would have been if we were moving. It would have let me pull over I think, based on other similar sounding incidents. We were stopped in lane 1 due to a police incident ahead so it just decided to completely die there. Couldn't move it. When the recovery people arrived they put it...

    Radio annoyances

    Hi Been meaning to ask this for a couple of weeks... 1. DAB station icons. Every other car I've owned did this automatically as I understand they're transmitted with the data stream. Obviously Tesla expect a logo of some sort as they've added a placeholder (grey box with musical note) in the...

    All weather mats wrong region?

    Hi I was given a set of all weather mats as compensation for an issue with my M3LR. The front two don't seem to fit correctly. The curves at the side follow the opposite side of the footwell and the "Tesla" word logo faces inwards adjacent to what would be the transmission tunnel in an ICE...

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    Hi all. Forgot to post an update apologies. Got the car back last week. Rear motor unit replaced. The car functions as it should now but there's an annoying clunk/creak coming from the rear somewhere, generally on anything other than a super smooth road. Happens when the suspension is...

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    I think rejecting it would be a net negative experience for me for several reasons including: - I'd have to go and buy or quickly lease another car as I need it for work - I've already had 6 months of on/off hire cars as I delayed my original Tesla delivery - The monthly price through my salary...

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    Update. After waiting for 25 minutes in the queue to be answered by Manchester South's service dept, Tesla Bristol answered. Apparently, after so long the telephone system diverts to ANY available line in the Tesla estate, regardless of location. The chap at Bristol told me that they'd rather...

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    Hello. I've finally been contacted by Tesla Manchester South (Stockport). The service chap said they had to "provide 12V support to the car" in order for them to even move into the workshop. They hooked it up to the laptop and the faults were logged. He wouldn't tell what exactly. It's not...

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    Hi. It's a lease though my employer's salary sacrifice scheme so it wouldn't be my car to reject. I'll wait and see what Tesla say. Thanks to those that have replied.

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    Thanks for all of the replies. Yes, indeed. We were both ok. I cursed the queueing traffic as we approached but I was glad of it when the car went wrong. I wonder if that had happened when travelling at speed....would we have had time to pull over? Hmmm I hope it is just a loose connection.

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    I guess they are. Shame. It was full of dinks and bumps, all alloys severely scuffed. I'll update when I know more. Tried calling Stockport this morning. On hold for 30 minutes. Gave up. Heard nothing from them since Thursday. Bit poor really.

    My 4 day old M3LR dead in the water

    So Thursday was fun. My new M3LR completely died on us on it's first long trip. We got about an hour from home. Full charge when we left and software up to date. Stopped in lane 1 in queueing traffic on the A556 just before the M6 junction. The traffic started moving and I went to pull away and...

    National Geographic

    Likewise. Why would they do that? You'd think Tesla's PR department would have had final say over all footage involving their cars or factory. Surely everyone (including the sound editor during production) knows that EVs don't make that noise?!

    Expected price for a home charger?

    It just wraps around the unit. Simple, quick and easy

    Expected price for a home charger?

    Our installer also did back entry to the unit leaving no external cable on show. The internal run went up and over the garage ceiling (all neatly clipped in) and then down the other wall straight into the back of the meter box. I was really impressed with the PodPoint installer.

    Expected price for a home charger?

    We had a tethered PodPoint installed in May for £859 - £500 OLEV = £359 all in. Looking now the price seems to have gone up to £909 - £350 OLEV = £559. Whilst the final price has gone up due to the basic price that PodPoint charge going up by £50 and the OLEV grant going down by £150, why do...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Got a text this morning, delivery to my home address booked for 17 Aug. Ordered through my employer's salary sacrifice scheme via Zenith. No access to VIN so can't tell when I was matched. Is anyone else wondering about risking delaying until the new 26 plate comes in? Suppose it depends when...
