I'm looking for advice from the community - Coming up to change my rear 18 inch tyres on my model 3 and wondered what is the difference between PS4 and PS4 acoustic tyres, apart from the foam inside the tyre? Given that there is quite a difference in price! I'm thinking about tread depth (OEM...

I previously started a thread, How are LFP batteries holding up? about my experience with LFP batteries and felt it was time to give a short update. Also it is more relevant now that there are more LFP RWD 3's and Y's on the road. My 55 kWh SR+ has now travelled 20,500 miles and average a 240...

What's peoples thoughts on using something like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256199134860 After watching the YouTube video below, I thought maybe it might be wise to have something stop leaves, etc. going into the condenser radiator area? OK, it will reduce airflow, but will it help in...

Just back from a 52 mile drive in the country. Wow! My 55kWh LFP RWD Model 3 car is so gorgeous, windows down, air-con off and music blaring. It's just the best car I've ever owned. Cruising through the bends, applying power on the apex, pushing on, so quiet yet so smooth! It's almost as good...

I've recently noticed that the rear fan is not blowing cold air and that I have to go into the HVAC screen to turn it on. However next time I get into the car it will be turned off! I'm sure it used to blow cold air when the seat belts are plugged in (which they all are). So now our small dog is...

I thought it would be good to post this petition here to increase the votes. Petition: Make it an offence to use an EV charging bay if not charging

Since last update to TMC web (about 3 weeks ago) I have to refresh the web to un-highlight read posts! It used to un-highlight viewed posts when returning to the (UK and Ireland) forum automatically. Is this going to be fixed sometime?

I belive that VIN # are randomised so that it is difficult to work out how many cars have been shipped... Mod comment; this post and the next few were moved into this thread so may appear out of context or a strange way to start, it's not Kelvin thats caused that.

Is Tesla model 3 only 16th out of 27 cars? Have so many new cars overtaken Tesla? Well 1st place goes to Hyundia Ioniq from 2016! What's wrong with the M3?? Tesla Wall Connector gets last place and Hypervolt gets the No. Slot. But Tesla Supercharger Network gets No 1 slot. Ar least...

A low cost £110 head-up[ display is now available for the model 3 & Y, for people that can't live without one...

An interesting interview with Elon Musk: Talks about Tesla growth, FSD, robots, and much more... Will FSD be here within the year?? https://www.ted.com/talks/elon_musk_a_future_worth_getting_excited_about

I've been plagued, over the last few weeks, with a creaking noise coming from the drivers door card around the arm rest when pressed with my elbow. Well with the better weather, I thought I take a look and try and find the cause. It turned out that the cause is a plastic piece that is connected...

I just got an email from Octopus Energy; "Your fixed term on Octopus Go will come to an end on Apr 17 2022. You can renew for another 12 months, with just a few taps in your online account. Should you choose not to renew, you'll roll onto Flexible Octopus, our always great value variable...

Ever wondered the true cost to fuel your Tesla? Well since getting my SR+, 4 months ago, I have been tracking the amount of electricity used by the car, using the TeslaFi application, and to my amazement it's not the 260 Wh/Mile that the car reports! To my surprise the car consumes an average...

I used to use a cheap Chinese boot hook but them I discovered "Glass Bonra". No more cut hands from the sharp (3d printed) plastic hooks. This one is easy to put bags on and more importantly easy to get them off... In my opinion worth the extra cost as it's a quality product that will last and...

Correct! However the insurance company will not pay to have the PPF re-done if you get into an accident, so you take that risk on by yourself.

LFP batteries have been around now for about 9 months and I was wondering how they are holding up in terms of degradation. So do you have a SR+ with LFP batteries? Do you use TeslaFi? If so, can you post a PDF of the battery degradation chart? As an example, I have posted a PDF of mine...

https://mol.im/a/9722767 What's your thinking about this? I heard that Tesla are working on an App that will allow others EV owners to use the super charger network. It makes sense long term as we don't have petrol stations that can only be used by Ford...

Hi forum people, I have a couple of questions regarding the 18 inch tyres; I have 10,000 miles on my SR+ and the remaining tread depth on the front tyres is ~5.5mm and ~3.5mm on the rear. Is it worth swapping the rear wheels to the front and visa versa, hoping that they will all wear out...

Took my wife to the supermarket and watched Youtube whilst I waited for her. Then drove home. Arrived with 58% SoC at around 12:30. Parked car. At 15:30 got a message from the Tesla app saying something like "HVAC been on a long time". Checked the app and the battery was down to 21%! Went to...

With lock-down coming to an end you may want to get away for a few days. Airbnb is a popular site for finding lets, but doesn't have an EV charging filter. However there is a way to "hack" Airbnb address barh, to give results for EV chargeing. Follow the link below to find out how to do it...

I could have bought a LR or even a Performance model 3 but I don’t think it would have been such a good fit for me as the SR+. Why? Looking at my last year’s ICE car data (from the app “FillUp”) I could see that my average mpg was 51.92 and that I drove 14,454 miles in a year (or an average of...

Now the weather is getting better, and the sun is shinning, we can get into the M3 and the air con will come on to cool down the car due to the solar gain from the windows and roof. However the outside temperature is only around 8 - 10 C. As its not possible to turn of the vent I had to purchase...

I've got an annoying wind noise (faf.faf.faf) coming from the drivers door. I've spent weeks trying to track it down but haven't found a solution. The wind noise was only noticeable over 50-60 mph and gets louder the faster you drive. The wind isn't creating a draft and isn't so loud as to make...

Moderator comment - thread renamed for clarity from "Tesla not getting £3,000 grant anymore!" I wonder what will happen to new prices? https://mol.im/a/9374563

Apologies if this has been ask before but how do people unlock the charger when not using the Tesla UMC charger that has a button. I'm talking about charges like Anderson, Rolec, Pod point and Zappi that don't have a button. It looks like the only way is to open the car, wait for the screen to...

My button stopped working a week or so ago so now I have to unlock the charger using the screen or app and push on the flap to open the charger. Very inconvenient! I called Tesla and they say it's a known bug that came with the last software update (2020.48.35.5) should be fixed with the next...

To maximize the battery/motor warranty you should drive less than 100,000 in 8 years or 12.500 miles a year (35 miles a day). Therefore, ideally your commute should be less than 18 miles, each way. But what would the maximum safe commute of a SR+ be, if you are only charging overnight? Given...

After the Xmas update, I thought it might be interesting to get an idea of how many people purchased FSD in the UK and Ireland community...

I've had my M3 SR+ for a couple of months now but for the last few days it starts charging shortly after plugging in the charging cable and not at the scheduled time of 00:30 hrs, to get off-peak electricity! The screen says that it will start charging at 00:00 hrs but almost immediately starts...

I've noticed since upgrading to 2020.36.11 the charger port will not open (most of the time) when pressing the button on the wall charger or Tesla remote charger handle. Once the charger handle is in place and locked in position it will unlock the using the button on the charger handle(s). It...
