Looks fantastic, and a lot better in white than the one I test drove (blue one). My only reservations were the small boot and I found the dash to be a bit high/large. I would definitely have had one though. I was well up for ordering one on our salary sacrifice scheme until this month when...

If the data stream is not encrypted (sounds like it may be though), NREL demonstrated a hack of OCPP last year. Have a trawl through their published articles for details. I think it would be feasible for another operator to take on all the Anderson charge point connections and allow...

@upgraded. I do have route round problems if found enabled....

Im not sure that fits with what I am seeing on my daily commute to work. Last week the Motorway was completely closed with a 2 hour diversion, google maps wanted me to divert, the car didn't notice the closure and still said it would take me 30 minutes to get home. I don't have Waze, but I...

My model 3 just had premium conectivity turned off, so I have been using a wireless dongle. Traffic is no longer shown on the map, and the car no longer routes round problems. As proven last week when it tried sending me down the M3 when it was closed. Is the only way to resolve this to...

Im not sure its worth it, there is a couple of k of additional work going on at the same time. (also slightly embarrassed that I am potentially overpaying a little)

I just ordered 4.8kw solar system givenergy hybrid inverter and 8.2kw battery. Our fuse box is being replaced, there is a lot of scaffolding and I'm having a few other things added, its not cheap in comparison to the quotes being banded about here. Prices are definitely going up.

For me its odd how peoples experiences are different on what is essentially the same product. I drive my model 3 to get to work on the motorways and A roads (50 miles) and have done some fairly long trips in it (600miles+). I was about to post and ask if others had seen a reduction in the...

Since it had its temperature sensors replaced, it just seems to blow cold air all the time. Plus it tells me its too cold to regenerate from the brakes when it's "cold", even when the ambient is 14 degrees C and its been pre-heating for 30 minutes.

My late 2020 (2021 model) M3 has it's 8th service appointment coming up, and I have given up trying to get the SC to fix some of the faults. It currently suffers with apparently no heating which they cannot look at again for another month. They had it last week and couldn't find a fault, but...

I think I agree with you. When circuit racing there is a transmitter on the car and its detected when you pass a fixed point, controlled by the circuit - this is very accurate. I have done sprints, which have a beam you break using a flat surface screwed to the front of the car, I presume...

When I compared time derived off a video vs the actual times for a lap I found considerable differences. - please don't ask me why or how, its just what I found. Good luck with this btw, I would like to try a Tesla on track (TOT), I can't with mine as its a lease and no can do. But I do hope...

Ive done a lot of track days and did some circuit racing (in a lotus Elise). IMHO £300+ on insurance is a bit on the high side, but I think it probably reflects the repair costs for something like a Tesla. When I was doing a lot of days, I used to get it included as unlimited track days on my...

My model 3 LR is not as refined as my old E class. The Model 3 is much quieter at low speeds but on the motorway it seems to be affected by the road surface and can be quite loud. You'd really need to test drive it and see if you can get on with it. The ride on the model 3 is also a bit...

Thanks. Appreciate the explanation.

Out of curiosity, because I don't know what one is, what is the problem with a "mail chimp"???

Ive had an ICE car break traction at motorway speeds before in mixed conditions. It was quite a lightweight car though.

White lines are more slippy than tarmac, especially if it's been wet. Ive had slip on white lines when driving high powered ICE cars before, although when I have really noticed it it's been on track and when driving on or near the limit. I think if the car is putting power down when changing...

I've been bumped to a new slot the day before the appointment too. Only it happened because I called to discuss the problems. I am actually glad I called them though as they wouldn't have been able to do much in the available slot. So its a delay of 2 weeks and given a different type of...

My father in law has a TR6, and he cannot see the speedo on the dash clearly without reading glasses - so its not an issue isolated to Tesla. I think his method was to use one of the older TomTom sat nav's which could display the speed in large numbers on the tom tom screen. This was attached...

I originally reported misting in the rear lights and in the pillar cameras, which have now all gone. I need to remove it from the service request. They just need to resolve a couple of very small paintwork issues and a wonky rear bumper now. The excess glue on the passenger door card I had...

Im not sure its just the charge point installers who are profiteering. We have had some quotes for a Velux loft conversation in my house and the quotes are 2-3 times higher than what I was expecting and what the industry norms outlined online.

I've had quotes between circa 800 to 1300 after the grant for Zappi v2 and the Tesla charge point. Some companies didn't even reply to my enquiries or questions. strangely the Tesla charge point was the most expensive.

My understanding is that Brake fluid degrades with heat cycles and water dilution. Very small amounts of water get in though the seals. It's not a money making scheme, its for safety.

I think of my M3 as a competitor to something like a BMW M3 or Lotus or Cayman. Not as a competitor to a Skoda octavia (which I currently own) or BMW diesel (which I have owned in the past), or indeed any Honda. I certainly don't see anything in the current Honda range with equivalent...

I know a lot of people who have had problems with Mercedes, serious problems, in my case engine loom "wore out" because they ran it between the engine and the body and there was insufficient room the ongoing problems were disruptive. In petrolhead circles, the big German manufacturers are not...

I have had (new to me) second hand cars that pull left or right, my E class merc was particularly noticeable, as was my Lotus. Both were fixed quite easily with tracking and suspension adjustments. I wonder if your car had a knock to a wheel during transport which has either buckled it or...

Navigate on autopilot is now enabled on my M3. Summon is on the app.

I picked my M3 up on the 29th. All panels straight, no rattles, but there are a few niggles: the bumper is not aligned properly, someone drunk put on the rear number plate and the cameras have condensation etc.

mine is a lease too, i picked up at 10am and the app started working at about 5pm.

I was told the 1 year supercharging would probably activate early Jan, and my referral miles would work until then. Im leasing my m3

Ordered 4th dec. Picked up today, 29th. M3LR in white. Pick up was fine, but lots of minor faults and issues which need correction.
