    Model 3 vs flooding

    We hit some flood water, not too deep in the grand scheme of things, but fast enough to pop off one of the aero wheel trims and rip the underside panel by the rear motor…not surprising given how flimsy the material is.

    OCTOPUS are an absolute (bad) joke - beware of dealing with them

    You will need to provide evidence that you have tried to resolve with the supplier before the ombudsman will accept your case. I’m just out the other side with my issue with OVO however if it wasn’t for the ombudsman I suspect I’d still be banging my head against a brick wall.

    Enhanced Auto Pilot…better than it was?

    I had the EAP trial earlier in the year and, whilst on paper it sounded great, the reality for me was less so...especially the aborting lane changes. Given how basic autopilot seems to have improved over time has there been any noticeable performance improvements to EAP other than the vision...

    M3 MIC 2021 tail lights

    Has anyone asked whether the new lights can be retrofitted to earlier Model 3s? I would happily pay to have reversing lights that help me see where I’m going.

    Model 3 AWD/LR - new tyres just purchased NOV 2021 (FYI)

    Chargeplace Scotland

    used it the other week and no cost. can’t help but think that it needs more rapid chargers given its location (speaking as an i3 owner too) I got the last one when I was there. ditto Broxden at perth where queues for the rapids are not uncommon. Only 50kW in both cases.

    UK Tesla App v4

    Totally agree and inadvertently vented the car twice. Regardless of where it is I believe it should be like opening the front and ask you to confirm you want to do it.

    Spare rims for winter tyres

    We asked when ordering ours last October for the car to come on winter tyres and Tesla obliged. It was £1800 for the normal 18” wheels (with TPMS) with winter tyres and they kindly delivered the summer wheels and tyres to the house. Very impressive how the car handled the snow we had last year.

    [UK] 2021.36.x

    I thought 2021.36 was supposed to bring British English as a language choice too…take it no sign of that? Assume that will change Trunk to Boot When it does arrive.

    Charge place scotland since takeover - all fine?

    Just to update on the above. The older card I have is no longer working, not yet tested the newer one— thankfully was able to charge using the app with the newer account. Turns out CPS have recently tweeted about some cards no longer being active but no email notification nor website update...

    Trip north - advice appreciated

    Suggest downloading the ChargePlace Scotland app and creating account (its free) as will give you access to most of the public chargers without need for RFID. Not had any issues supercharging at SCorner, Abington and Perth. The A1 is single carriageway in places in Northumberland and the Borders...

    UK Tesla App v4

    I confirm it is definitely there as I inadvertently pressed it just before washing a large bit of bird dirt off the rear window and got a load of water in the back of the car. Buttons right at the bottom of the controls screen not a great location IMO. Assuming Android will be same as iOS.

    Charge place scotland since takeover - all fine?

    We have 2 CPScotand cards/accounts…one I’ve had for 5 years when the chargers were branded Charge Your Car, the other when we got the Tesla last year. The first one I’ve not been asked to transfer my account (thanks for the reminder) but card still worked last I checked earlier in the month. The...

    New Navigation Maps for Europe Rolling Out 2021.8

    Had the new maps for a while but pressed the ‘hungry’ and ‘I’m feeling lucky’ buttons the first time last night. It’s suggested various restaurants in Dublin which is somewhat inconvenient given I live in the north of Scotland. I may not be furnished with much choice up here but there‘s...

    Rear Indicators

    I’d be keen to retrofit them too. Willing to take the car apart (already removed a door card to fix a rattle) but any know how you can share would be much appreciated.

    Car wow M3 drag race. Surprising result

    That’s the quickest carwow have times a M3P in a drag race. The ones that feature a pre-facelifted M3P they all got 11.8 sec quarter mile times, this one got 11.7. Assuming they cut away to the correct screen the LR in the drag race showed Standard and Chill as its drive modes...if it had the...

    Made in China Model 3: Build Quality / Hardware Differences

    Another difference- apologies if I missed it elsewhere in thread- is that the white interior door cards now have black alcantara on them (same as the black interior) rather than white pleather...which is a bit of a shame.

    What did you do to your Tesla Model 3 today?

    I put in the Abstract Ocean brighter interior and boot lights plus the rear footwell lights. Very pleased...the boot light especially is a very worthwhile upgrade.

    Flaking paint on 2021 M3 LR

    Yes had this too with 2021 LR. Known issue and has since been rectified under warranty.

    Youtubers

    The two Model 3 reviews I enjoyed the most: for detail Autogefuhl and for entertainment Throttle House where they pitch the LR against a BMW M2 Comp. The latter is currently my favourite car channel.

    2021 Model 3 Frunk Mat

    Tesla call the new frunks the ‘beaded basin’ whereas the old ones were the ‘smooth basin’ You can only get the carpet one for the new frunk from Tesla, the rubber mats are still smooth basin only.

    Areo Wheels

    They didn’t take long to come back in stock when I looked to get some about 3 weeks ago. Got delivered last week..they get shipped from Eindhoven. Nothing on the box to suggest they only fit certain models. Just need the car to put them on now.

    Features we didn't know we wanted?

    I’d like the ability to swap the steering wheel buttons functions so that the cruise is on the left and volume on the right as that what I’ve been used to for the last 10 years...shouldn’t be an issue given that they are unlabelled. Also if the lumber support adjustment is part of the memory...

    How long did they take to arrive from the States just out of interest? I ordered some at the start of the month and no sign of them yet.

    2020 Q4 'M' delivery club

    Thanks for the upload and hope you are enjoying your new car. The lights look promising both in terms of brightness and upgradability; what where your subjective thoughts on them on a scale from ‘these lights are rubbish’ to ‘wow, they’re bright’?

    2020 Q4 'M' delivery club

    Looks superb. Congratulations. I’d be keen to know about the headlights when you are able to have a night drive. Are they any good and do they do anything fancy? Also your thoughts on refinement at speed now that the front windows are double paned.

    2020 Q4 'M' delivery club

    Great to see the updated Model 3s in the UK and that they have the new headlights. Interesting that they have put the EU number plates on though given what is looming. I was told my car due next month will have the new green plates on... Green number plates get the green light for a...
