Apparently the new MIC cells are worse lol to be fair, driving in London I get more than the estimated range, bloody 30mph limits...

The older NCA battery you have performs better in the cold than the new MIC batteries.

Trying to get my lame friend to refer me for a job there but apparently they’re too busy...

Oye oye! As the image shows, new wheels and increased range on the Chinese Tesla website. 375 Miles on the performance 3!

This my sound daft. How much would it roughly cost for a full strip of the clear coat and base coat followed by a full respray with some decent paint. Not the soft crap Tesla provides, less than a month and I’ve noticed paint chips...

I get my tyres sorted at Costco, I always assumed the nitrogen nonsense was all balls but delighted that you seem to see real benefit with it.

What would something like this cost to fix? I made sure to go with Direct Line so excess is £650 but if a body shop can sort it for less then we should perhaps put together a list! It’s inevitable for some of us that have no off-street parking.

How do I get that dashboard?

I’m getting the same bloody error all the time. When I start the car up it doesn’t recognise anything, I’ve gotta unplug the drive and replug it for clips to save, but the error message still displays. Very annoying!

I have drained my battery (28%) and have scheduled charging from 11pm till 8:30am! Tis the night we are ‘minted’.

I get it all the time... I am still using the Tesla usb drive till I get my microSD adapter.

Guys do ask for both sets of plates - Tesla are supplying them for free (from Dartford at least) Blue GB Green EV If you ask for private plates to be printed, they will only be supplied on the Green EV templates

I guess the bright side is that Dartford have the new green EV plates...

Jesus

With my pickup scheduled for 1pm today, I was informed yesterday at 7pm that I could not pickup at Chelmsford and instead had to use Dartford. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Yeah, and Tesla do seem to not have any inventory towards the start of a quarter with a huge push towards the end shipping, even discounting some of the Performance cars quite heavily.

Haha a colleague moved 2 weeks ago. We’re going to test the waters after Christmas for a month and see how it goes. Pointless being in London atm.

Qq, what’s the eligibility criteria like. A colleague of mine moved to Aberdeen last week and I’m due to make the move after Christmas. I’ve got a tenancy agreement sorted. Would I be eligible?

Jesus Christ this was painful to read. I am the embodiment of your post. I feel dirty - should I?

Hopefully our charging infrastructure can catchup! It needs a lot of work in comparison to the states. London is like a used and abused soul...withered and depraved in comparison to Cali. Oh well, hopefully it gets better :)

I'm also due to pikcup on the 16th from Chelmsford @ 1pm.

lol, so looks like another delay is incoming!

Text, I was on Grand Aurora but then change the interior colour and was moved to Crystal Glovis... it's been a long wait! Hopefully Cornwall can still go ahead!

Just had my pickup moved back from 8th Dec to 15th Dec @ Chelmsford :(

I’ve got the regular plat charge card, not the business. This is the first I’m hearing of this, do I just have to message Amex’s live chat?

The team at Chelmsford are great - looking forward to the pickup!

8th Dec @ 2pm, Chelmsford pickup! Is anyone else picking up from Chelmsford, there doesn't seem to be many of us in these bits!

My friend placed an order with me in September, he's still kept his on hold - no issues from Tesla, just let the the advisor know and don't fill in the finance information so you're not assigned a VIN either. Feb is quite soon so you can order anytime really however if you want to be 100% on the...

Having a phone that is capable of wireless charging is actually quite important in a Model 3. You’ll typically use your phone as your key and unless you have the physical card in your wallet and your wallet with you at all times, you may run out of juice with your phone and end up a bit stuffed...

Got something to watch this eve!

I think I may do it! £15 more a month...

I’ve had my first car (MX-5) for about 5 months and now god an M3 on order. I’d expect 6 years unless i get a couple of sizable promotions in which case as soon as I can afford the Roadster ;) Hopefully I don’t become sensible by the time - at 31 and get a house instead... that would be sad.

Qq, why’d you go with blue? I really want to but am concerned about the paint being soft and touch up being costlier due to its rarity. But the blue is sexy, I’m very much on the edge! Regarding the shipping, it seems Tesla’s comms is quite fragmented. I got a text when GA was off the cost...

2021 mate, we should all do a cheeky post-lockdown Grand Aurora get-together!

Welcome to the club. Anyone else picking up from Chelmsford?

I went with Direct Line, wasn’t the cheapest but vandalism doesn’t affect NCB and seeing I have none, I’m eager to start building! Also my excess is £650 so quite happy with that! You can insure using your VIN however I don’t have that, I do have a private plate which I have to direct line, I...

haha, I felt like this the day I returned my P3 (due to damage), expecting delivery of an LR AWD in about 3 weeks!

You could always snag a cheap plaid!

Same boat as you. All this ship stuff has been reigniting my desire to get sailing again. Haven't been since university!

Ah shoot, if only I saw this sooner. I didn't use a code either as I simply forgot when it came to placing the order. I did get quite chummy with one of the guys who work at Tesla Bluewater who was kind enough to escalate internally and I got the SC miles added. If you'd like to try it let me...

Hey! I was told around the 8th Dec it should be ready for pickup but based on Mr. M’s comments it looks to be slightly sooner. My insurance starts tomorrow though as it was cheaper to let it start now than run a new quote.

I'm expecting delivery by 8th Dec. Octopus sent someone round yesterday for a smart meter installation.

Went with the same white on white, completely different reasoning though. I’m cheap so white exterior but live in the U.K. where it’s wet and gloomy - the white interior lifts the entire aesthetic!

Safe bet is to stop, 15 mins is not the end of the world and some would say it’s even nice!

Guessing it’s fair to assume no heated steering wheel at this point!

What are the UK legal limits?

I vowed I would never own a hatchback but I know colleagues seriously looking at this and an ID4. I’d stick with an M3 over the ID3, in terms of the ID4 - let’s see how Tesla prices the MY, I wouldn’t hold my breath on it though.

This is the smart practical option and will probably be the route I go down in a couple years! For now, at 25 I’m happy with a M3 LR. I do still miss the Miata/MX-5) I drove prior but the gf doesn’t like sitting on what’s effectively a skateboard.

If anything a P90DL and quicker Model S makes more sense saving a bit of dosh. The Roadster is in a different albeit less practical segment. Styling, exclusivity, top tier of performance. I feel like there’s going to be a bunch of Plaid’s on the used market when the Roadsters come out!

Yeah, I was elated when the order when through initially. Managed to get a Red with white interior and 19” wheels for £40k! Now I’m back to £47,990 for LR White on White... #brokeback
