    Windscreen chip

    Oh and i drove mine, it started off as a chip on the motorway to Essex, was a small crack before i got home, the all the way from the side to about the mirror, as long if not a little bit longer than yours but just kept growing, after the stuff it stopped expanding.

    Windscreen chip

    I used some good stuff that makes it safer and almost vanish, it also stopped my crack Expanding this is a link to what i watched and i was actually surprised. Now keep a spare one in the car so I can fix a chip asap

    Windscreen chip

    So, I spoke to my insurance (Churchill) agreed Tesla could do it and they would pay. Then called Tesla, this was in July, they have a backlog too and finally got the screen replaced last week. Cost, 785.50 inc VAT.

    2022.12.3.16 - 85mph vs 90mph (on MCU2 upgraded P85D)

    Hi, I upgraded and did a motorway run yesterday, I still have the 90mph top speed. Although I wondered that same as you, didn’t realise some are limited to 80. On a down side autopilot was awful!! I’ve used it loads on a motorway before and it’s always been amazing, yesterday, after the update...

    I’ve had the eCall Emergency call system requires service (70 plate M3, about 17k miles) At the same time i have booked in for a windscreen replacement (another thread) but I can also see a line of the service centre visit that says “update Vegicle Firmware to prevent loss of eCall...

    M3 recalls?

    Checked and mine is now on the site (thank you for the VIN lookup link) Have a service engineer here now to fix an issue, he also mentioned about some sealant needed for the suspension, which is a recall item, but then didn't have the stuff to do it. When I mentioned this one he didn't know...

    M3 recalls?

    I have a M3LR, picked it up Sept 2020, and was told it was built 15th Aug, so would assume i should fall inside the recall, However, using my VIN I’m not getting a recall.

    Yes there are lots out there, Zappi seems very popular, I have a Rolec one, which even gave me £5 of amazon vouchers after 20 smart charges, Pod point, the list goes on. Check your energy supplier too, sometimes they work best or have a deal on a brand.

If you used a referral code you get 1,000 miles free supercharging, but must be used in 6 months I read somewhere. Otherwise I don't believe it's...

    Oh, I forgot to mention, I have the new rubber on the rear boot, this fixes an issue with water build up when opening the boot. I had heard about the change on a podcast, so thought I might have it, so any car after the 15th will have this change too.

    That would be me... We have an e-golf as out other car, which we've had for a year, so I'm comfortable with EV's. Picking up my M3 LR tomorrow, hopefully I won't want to just hand the keys back (not that you really have keys) ;-)

    Thank you, I called Tesla and asked if i could pick up my M3 LR sooner from Southampton, which they said yes too! so I'm now picking my car up on the 15th from Southampton rather than the 21st! Also my VIN has now appeared in my account. so all very good.

    I too think its the Platinum Ray, as end of the month was my initial date from Tesla, but now have a confirmed collection date of the 21st. If you call you can get the VIN, they will also confirm which ship your car is on too.

    That will work, its an extreme one. I just didn’t really want a box, so went for a smaller option which i prefer, means i won’t knock it with other rubbish moving around and disconnect the disk from the drive. It needs to plug into the USB-A too, so the converter it comes with is handy. The...

    Insurance New Vehicle [2020 Megathread]

    One thing to note with Churchill, if you call Churchill, once you have your quote, then tell them you have autopilot, they can find another 5% off, Then can find it under modifications.

    Just call Tesla and they will give it to you, I'm on the same boat and have mine. Although it's not appearing on the site or in the source code. I believe they can give you the vin as soon as the car is assigned.. Saying that, having the VIN hasn't helped, Churchill can't setup your insurance...

    I have an e-golf (also a model 3 on order) but haven't even tried the super chargers, the normal chargers do lock in the charge cable normally, if you unlock the car the e-golf stops the charge and releases the lock, (yes very annoying if you have left something in your car and then want to get...
