Hi, I've noticed that my car is now often not charged to 80% in the morning anymore. I've got a PodPoint 7kWh charger and it used to charge at around that level. I've now started up my Teslamate which I hadn't used in a while and I could pin point the day when it changed Up to the 28th it...

My M3SR+ seems to get confused with the charge settings. I used to have it set to schedule charging to start at 00:30 (Octopus Go). They in the Winter I've switched to depart at 8 am with cheap charging stopping at 4:30 but I've often noticed that the car often started charging right when I...

I am driving to Bristol tomorrow. I get there in one charge but I need to charge up in Bristol for the return trip. Bristol seems to have 3 Superchargers, one is in a Shopping Centre, one at a Tesla showroom (?) and one on a Service Station bit further down South. I am staying in a Hotel in...

Hi We are planning a trip to Edinburgh and then on to Inverness with our M3SR+. I still have some free supercharger miles so I am thinking of mainly charging at Superchargers in Scotland. We will be doing several day trips from Inverness, as far as I can see there are Superchargers in Inverness...

The other day I was driving down to Canterbury. I was on autopilot when the car suddenly decelerated. At first I though this was phantom breaking (which I haven’t really experienced before) but then I’ve noticed that it reduced the speed limit from 70 to 55. This was just before the M26 joins...

I’ve been noticing some rattling noise on my 2021 M3 coming from the passenger side. At first I thought it was the seat belt knocking against the side. But then I plugged it in and it continued. I’ve tried to find whether anything is lose on that side but couldn’t find anything. Any one else...

I am trying to figure out where the this low frequency rumbling and noise is coming from in my 2021 Model 3. I get it every 40-60 seconds when I park (you do get it while driving as well but you don’t notice it as much). In some posts I’ve read that this is normal in the 2021 models and that it...

We did our first longer trip today from Surrey to Devon. Half way we stopped for a toilet break and recharge at Amesbury. It was busy but no one had to wait (8/16). Then we wanted to charge up at the Exeter SuC. All 8 stalls full and 4 cars in front of us. So we drove to our accommodation first...

We’ve picked up our M3SR+ on the 22nd of December and are supposed to have 1 year of free supercharger (was a drive to shift cars last quarter). I had to charge up on the day I’ve picked up the car but not since (might have something to do with this pandemic) until this Friday. We needed a quick...

Hi, I have to pick up a piece of furniture from a shop some miles away and I am wondering whether I will be able to get it into the Model 3. The dimensions are 50x42x120cm without packaging (will be slightly more with). In theory this should fit, I’ve measured the max height and it was...

Whenever I charge my M3SR+ in the rain I am wondering why there is no cap to protect the CCS charger. My Leaf has a cover for the Chademo and the Type 1, the new ID3/4 have a cap for the CCS so why does the Model 3 not have one. Is there not the danger that water gets into the connector? Or is...

Hi, Has anyone got a good system to get a warning when you leave your phone in the car? It has happened a few times now to me that I would put my phone on the charger pad (new 2021 model 3) but then forget it there and got out. Hours later when trying to use my phone I would recognise that my...

Hi What would you be comfortable with as a min percentage of charge for arrival at a supercharger? With my Leaf I would always have to prepare to have at least a Plan B charger in reach. I am planning a trip to Exeter after the lockdown and ABRP tells me I would get to the a Exeter chargers...

I’ve just come across the Powerloop trial by Octopus where the battery of an EV is used as a home battery. They use the Leaf for this. We have both a Leaf and a M3, the Leaf is only used a couple of times a week when we need a second car (and not at all during lockdown). So it would make sense...

Hi I am losing a bit of trust in Octopus with their billing. It seems they generate bills for random intervals at random times. In July 2020 I was charged for the period 13/11/19-30/12/19. That is 6 to 7 months late! In November 2020 I was charged for the period 04/10/20-08/11/20 This is on...

I’ve tried to setup Netflix on my M3 but when I try to enter my user details the keyboard closes after each character I’ve entered and when I open the keyboard again the cursor is at the beginning and there doesn’t seem to be a way to get to the end (as the keyboard closes itself again). I’ve...

Hi has anyone figured out how to set up the charging for off-peak time with the new update? I’ve got OctopusEnergy Go and only want to charge between 00:30 and 04:30. I’ve currently got it set up to start at 00:30 but it can overrun. I believe you can now set the end of the off-peak period...

I am having problems getting the voice command to call my wife to work. I've got multiple phone numbers stored on the iPhone for my wife (iPhone, work, work mobile, home number). When I say 'Call XXX' (with XXX being the first name) it comes up with a list of phone numbers but the main phone...

I am supposed to pick up my M3 SR+ this Tuesday from Thorpe Park. Will this still go ahead? Were the pickups still running during the lockdown in November?

We’ve ordered a Model 3 via Arval.co.uk here in the UK. Arval was quite slow but yesterday we finally got an email from Tesla to ‘Finish setting up your Tesla Account’ There was a link to create a password but even though we clicked on it straight after we received the email it told us that the...

Hi my wife's work offer a EVs leasing via Salary sacrifice. The provider for this is Arval. In theory this should be an affordable way of driving a model 3 but I am surprised by the monthly leasing cost they are quoting. Arval only offer 36 Month leasing deals via this scheme (they do offer 48...
