Our M3 is going in for work on a few different issues tomorrow and Tesla have stated it’s going to take at least 4 hours so have kindly offered a loaner. I’ve been given the VRM of the loaner, but I don’t know anything more than this. I’ve been given a code for the keybox and I have a message...

Dear UK folks, A few days ago I closed my M3’s boot using the button, as usual, and I noticed the left hinge did a bit of a funny motion, as if it was trying to close too far, or maybe didn’t close quite straight. Didn’t think much of it initially but when I checked the hinge properly I saw...

We recently took a trip up to the NEC and just our luck we encountered gritters on the motorway both on the way up and back down again. I appreciate there is a need to grit to prevent the roads from freezing up, but how on Earth are you meant to deal with them on the motorway? As you’re...

The UK/EU spec Model 3 with tow bar only has pins 1 - 8 wired up. This services the mandatory lights, however doesn‘t provide for permanent/switched 12v to the trailer. I’ve had a google and can’t find anything relevant, so I was wondering whether anyone has wired up pins 9 and/or 10...

With the cold weather over the last couple of days I’ve started having an issue where my M3 fails to start charging on a timed charge. I’m using a Zappi v2. I’m plugging the car in the afternoon/evening with a timer on the Zappi so the car won’t start charging until 2330. Two nights ago the...

I know there’s pretty much zero chance of CarPlay being made available, however there’s been the odd rumour or hint that Apple Music could be added as a music source, alongside Spotify, Tidal, etc. It appears Apple is pushing ahead with Apple Music only integrations, so I wonder whether we...

I’ve just seen this Tesla app update and have to say I’m impressed by its simplicity in order to fix an issue that’s been plaguing drivers in particularly cold areas. Where door handles have been freezing solid (not as much of an issue down here in the balmy south, however I did have a bit of...

Having now done a handful of towing trips with the M3, I felt some improvements could be made. I saw a version of a 90º electrics adapter in another thread and stumped out for one from these guys...

I am aware Bromptons are available all over the planet, however I kinda feel this is a very British problem. In a few short months, we will be picking up our folding camper in preparation for our travels. As part of my advance planning, I’m trying to work out how I’m going to transport the two...

Saw this tweet by the venerable Mr Musk. Looks like we might actually get an update to AP on this side of the pond in the next few months? I know people feel AP behaves differently after each software update, but personally I don’t think anything has changed in AP for a long time, so an...

I’ve had a play with the new light show silliness on my March MiC M3 and discovered the boot doesn’t open and flap along. At the point where it should, the boot unlocks and opens about an inch, then gives up and closes. If I press the button, the boot does open normally and I’m not aware of any...

Dear all, The lovely lady wife managed to curb one of the wheels on the M3. Same poor wheel I stuffed up earlier this year, but much less damage. After the issues I had last time where the wheel place used the older colour paint in the first attempt, does anyone know what the correct colour is...

With all the latest issues and recalls relating to LG Chem batteries, should we have any concerns in relation to the LG Chem batteries in some of our MiC M3s? Video by Transport Evolved about it here: I personally doubt there’ll be an issue, as Tesla use a different form factor battery and...

Since the latest update to 2021.12.25.7 my MiC 2021 M3 has been doing some odd things in relation to charging. Charging itself seems to work fine, and the car still behaves well with my Zappi, including coping with the occasional stop/start due to passing clouds when charging on excess PV...

Dear hive mind, I think this has already been covered, however my admittedly brief searching didn’t throw up any obvious results. I have a March 2021 M3 with powered boot. When I first got it, I’m sure when the boot closed it would slow down as it was about to close, then gently latched...

Now that I have a car that is capable of towing, I’m contemplating future endeavours (mostly around camping, as the tiddler gets old enough to enjoy this). I’m trying to get my head around exactly what I am and am not allowed to do, in relation to the various mass ratings. So, the M3 has the...

I’m considering getting the Tesla Offer frunk kit for my 2021 M3. When I initially bought the car, I had expected to use the frunk a lot more, but I’ve realised needing to push down on it with both hands to close it is a faff and leaves big handprints on it and I’m concerned about scratching...

Well, the autopilot honeymoon is over. Driving home from work this morning along a pretty straight bit of 40mph A road on autopilot, enjoying the world go by when the car suddenly swerves left. No other cars or anything that I noticed about that could have obviously upset it. Unfortunately, I...

Moderator comment - similar thread merged and renamed from "Registered keeper query" So, dear old lady’s company bought the car, however she was meant to be shown as the registered keeper. Unfortunately, it appears Tesla ballsed up and have shown the company as the registered keeper. Our...

In anticipation of picking up our M3 in March, I’m wondering whether anyone has had experience surrounding making a claim for a total loss/theft where FSD has been paid for? We’ve obtained our insurance through Admiral. They state any modifications from standard spec need to be declared in...
