    Travelling around Paris - East/West and charging?

    Returned from a 3 week trip to france and most service stations are well equiped with Ionity or Total Energies chargers. So when there are no Superchargers there are good alternatives.

    IONITY chargers

    Just use the Bonnet app. Never found a problem.

    2023.12...

    They need to sort this maps issue out. I'm starting to get iritated by the sporadic loss of them. When I spoke to Tesla about this they said it was a server issue at their end and not a software problem with the car. They said it would be resolved in the future. Not satisfactory really.

    Went on a long journey yesterday and the maps are still dropping out after 20 miles or so. They started working again after the car slept for a few hours. 2023.12.1.1

    Spotify/tunein/maps/navigation

    I received a message from Tesla Service Leeds this morning that acknowledged that their is a problem with maps not loading and that engineering are looking into it.

    Spotify/tunein/maps/navigation

    Similar problems here with maps not displayed correctly. Radio DAB keeps stuttering and I couldn’t answer the phone in the car as the touch screen was non responsive. I put a service request in this lunchtime and a couple of hours later the maps started working again. Coincidence? The phone...

    [UK] 2023.2.x

    Yep, I keep losing the maps. A reboot sorts it but this time I'm going to leave it overnght in case it's a Tesla server issue. Damn annoying really.

    Slow puncture in Model Y

    I've had a similar experience. Kwikfit gave me a load of BS and wanted to sell me a new tyre. Find a tyre specialist who knows what they're talking about. Cost me £15 for a repair and I'll probably go back there when I need new tyres. Lesson learned, avoid the chains and find a tyre place with...

    Driving to France and Switzerland - advice needed

    Just got back from a 1200 mile round trip through France and Belgium. Superchargers seemed relatively quiet compared to petrol stations on the Autoroutes where there were long queues to fill up. Had a little range anxiety as we arrived at a camp site in the Ardennes with only 25%. No...

    Model 3 bike rack (not roof or tow bar)

    I wouldn't recommend it. The best solution for carrying bikes on a Model 3 is the Seasucker. Really simple to mount on the glass and rock solid.

    Tesco free Pod point charge rate

    They're not really that useful when shopping. Just a symbollic box ticking excercise for a big supermarket.

    [UK]2022.4

    I don't have it yet, still on 44.30.11 but I seemed to be one of the first to get that so maybe I'm now back of the queue.

    Two 'unlocks' needed to release charging cable in the morning

    The work around for me at the moment is preheat the car as normal and then unlock the cable before driving off. It unlocks straight away as by then the car is fully awake.

    Two 'unlocks' needed to release charging cable in the morning

    I think it might be when the car hasn't fully woken up after an overnight charge. When I've preheated the car and then unlocked the charge port it seems to be OK
  16. FlyingTimbo

    Two 'unlocks' needed to release charging cable in the morning

    Mine does exactly the same. I raised a service appointment and they replaced the charge port unit. It still does it thought so I'll just live with it for the time being. My old SR+ never did this though...

    30 hour wait for recovery. Lessons learnt.

    Any update on this yet MrM? My guess that it's some kind of voltage regulator circuits before the 12v battery and not the 12v battery itself.

    where will we be in 3 years time?

    We will be able to enjoy lots of winter improvements.

    What’s happened to Octopus Go?!

    I did exactly this. Still at 13.6p peak.

    Model 3 Heatpump Noise?

    Yes! I came from a 2020 SR+ to a 2021 LR and I've noticed the heatpump whirrrr. It does seem to vary depending on how cold it is outside and differences out to in and how much work it has to do. I'm not concerned knowing roughly how it works.

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    I'm sceptical that Tidal will offer anything greater than Spotify does in the car. I guess it is to support existing subscribers. What did surprise me, is how much of an improvement the premium sound system in my new LR is compared to my old SR+. It's much more musical and sounds great even...

    [UK] 2021.40.x

    Please explain how Spotify is horrible? It sounds fine right now on my PC through the speakers in my studio.

    [UK] 2021.40.x

    Even with the higher bit rate, I'd be really sceptical that you would hear any difference between this and Spotify in the car. Try this quiz.... https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/411473508/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality?t=1638280449157

    M3 LR acceleration boost (UK)

    Waiting for the car to be delivered, I was definitely planning on getting AB. Having had the car a few days, now I'm not sure I need it. 😅 The car is awesome as it is. I'll see how I feel in a few weeks of ownership.
  25. FlyingTimbo

    Anyone selling their M3 to cash in on no depreciation??!!

    I sold my 12month old, 10,000 miles SR+ and have just taken delivery of a LR. Hardest bit was 10 weeks without a Tesla but well worth it :-)

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    Got to say, the quality of the car seems much better than my old Fremont car. The double glazed windows seem to keep the road noise down.

    Picked the car up, all very smooth. Drove around thinking this LR feels similar to my old SR+. Then realised it was in chill mode. Swithced it off and holy sh1t!!!😂🤣

    Me today. Just about to set off to Manchester. Another text received from Tesla advising to take care due to bad weather. I read that as 'you are still coming to collect are you?'

    M3 LR acceleration boost (UK)

    Well I’m watching this thread as I’m definitely interested. Pick up tomorrow 😁

    Congrats! It will be a bit quicker than that with >80% state of charge! My old SR+ was definitely down on power below 40%

    Just noticed a missed call from Tesla. Message said could I call back. Held for 20 minutes expecting the news that it was damaged on the ship...... But no! Just asking to confirm my collection on Saturday!

    Mine's due for delivery 27th Nov. It's going to take a while distributing 6,000 cars off a ship to everyone though. That's a lot of car transporters.

    Does the model 3 need to be fettled to be a daily driver?

    A few things that are an utter pain in the arse. 1. It gets dirty, particularly after wife has been using it. 2. Kids leave all sorts of crap on the back seats. Litter on the floor. What a nightmare! 3. I have to plug it in myself. Other than that, nothing. ;-)

    Congrats! My previous 3 was a Freemont one and was a good one. I'm just hoping my new one will be as good. I've ordered a LR this time so looking forward to the extra power and sound system.
