So my connector was terminated and just had a blanking plug in it, no need to re-terminate. My car was also one of the first 2021-refresh cars from America at the end of 2020. The Tesla Service Centre near me got me to sign a waver but then just charge me for 10 minutes or so to do the...

Anyone know the status of Fraddon in Cornwall? Been built since last Summer but still not turned on.

I go past this site on my way to work. It's had 6 Gridserve chargers installed for the past 3-4 months but they have yet to be turned on and have railings around them still. No sign of any groundwork for other charging though.

Picture to go with it as well

Sorry for the delay in replying. I requested the below part numbers in the app and the associates quantities. The service manual for the replacing the cushion is here - Model 3 Service Manual | Tesla. It took me about 2 hours, but probably could do again now in an hour. Most of it was...

I did this but still digging in at the back. Just bought a new seat pad from Tesla to install this week. Feeling the difference, the foam on the side bolsters is a lot firmer and supportive on the new pad. Will upload pictures this week.

I have a M3LR 2021 and now at 100k miles. The seat base has started to crease on the right bolster. I think it's more of an issue with the foam base as after driving for about 30 minutes I start to get pain on my hip. You can also feel that the foam is compressing too much and the metal of the...

I wondered if anyone has seen a difference in the willingness of service centres to offer advice on maintenance/self repair of issues. My local service centre in Bournemouth has been brilliant but visited a different centre today and the salesman was messaging the service manager on Teams, who...

I test drove a Highland RWD this morning as well. Coming from a Model 3 2021 Long Range. Firstly, it only had 13 miles on the clock and as such the Autopilot hadn't finished calibrating. Until calibration is done the automatic driving direction detection cannot be enabled. The feature is a beta...

Currently have about 96k miles in my Model 3. Recently I have noticed the seat has become very uncomfortable, and can feel it pushing on lower hip/joints, especially on longer drives. I am only 26 so its not a matter of ages. Has anyone replaced the seat foam? I’ve seen a few people say they...

People talking about not having speed cameras or only some, I've seen reports that it takes between 20 minutes and a day for the cameras to show up.

I agree, although people are saying that the disengagements are easier to trigger by merely adjusting vents.

Would anyone recommend not updating based on the comments about Autopilot nag?

Just got the update but weirdly got version 44.2

Anyone selling a Enhance Auto S3XY Button kit?

Has anyone seen a reviewer talk about the front camera? Looking in the parts catalogue they specifically mention it, and the washer nozzle.

I assumed that keeping the MCU active whilst charging would take up a fair chunk. Let's just say certain energy tariffs give you increased off peak windows if you charge at a slower rate, thereby reducing cost of home energy usage ;)

So I often charge at the minimum current of 5A with a line voltage of 240V, leading to a 1.2kW charging speed. My charger can output at 32A but wondering whether I am losing much in efficiency by charging at a lower current as the onboard AC/DC converter will inherently have losses. If...

I can concur with the previous comment, when moving at speed the slow downs when passing in the fast lane are dramatically reduced (1 in 250 miles of driving), but when going slow it would constantly highlight cars in the slower lane and stop for them, even if they weren't moving. This was after...

It's not just leaking but I had issues with wind noise from a wind screen replacement. Over 40 there was a whistling sound coming from the centre dashboard. Ended up getting Tesla to replace it.

I assumed they weren't charging for labour at the FRT for the replacement says 1.15 hours but value was zero.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't really looked at other options other than Tesla. I still have 3 years left on an extended warranty from the dealership I bought the car from so I have to get it repaired at Tesla.

Yes, made sure they used the new part. Confirmed that its the new part as well after I left.

Had my FUCA's replaced today. Nice quick service. Only cost £179 for both nearside and offside arms to be done. Asked them specifically to use the new part numbers for the cast aluminium arms, Service Tech said he didn't even know they had them. Hopefully won't need to be replaced for the...

I'm guessing you need part 1088218-00-I (pictured below)? I would try call the Tesla Customer Service number and select the option for service and spare parts. You can give them the spare part number and they'll be able to tell you where there is stock. Some of the bigger Service Centre's also...

I have driven roughly 21000 miles since I bought my M3 LR used. The tyres started off with around 5.5mm of tyre wear and now, just before I get an MOT, they are only at ~3.5mm. Maybe I was lied too when I was told EVs chew through tyres. Don't get me wrong, almost any traffic light I am...

I have a 2021 M3LR on the south coast. 25 years old with 4 years NCB and my quote was £1000 for the year with Admiral. Really is a gamble. Last years insurer Churchill wouldn't even offer me insurance this year.

What felt did you use?

Is it bad that I am more interested in the McDonalds drive through. Having to get out of the car at Rownhams for anything bar Costa is a first world problem

But were you still in warranty when you had the repair done?

Long story short, I have a relatively high mileage Model 3 that is covered by a 3rd party warranty with Marshalls (administered by Car Care Plan). My front upper control arm ball join on the near side has just started to squeak, and so I went to the warranty company to get them to agree the...

I have been experiencing creaking coming from the rear seats of my Model 3 (21 model year) since I bought it used a year ago. It appears normally as a leather-on-leather rubbing sound coming from the offside rear corner, but then when the body is flexed going up a hill and taking a corner it...

As another user mentioned its 4 years, 50,000 miles in the UK. For reference I am on about 92k miles now on my 21 model-year December 2020 car.

I have a Model 3 70 plate (21 model year) and never had the issue but a friend has the same vehicle, mere 300 apart on the VIN and had the upper control arm squeak. He is out of warranty so we took the wheel off and released the pinch bolt and moved the ball joint in all directions. This...

Don't know if its been discussed already in this thread but I did about 600 miles yesterday, mostly on AP on 2023.32.6 and have the following: - It is now picking up overhead posted speed limits (smart motorways) more accurately. - It also is picking up speed limit changes where the only sign...

Interesting there are 4 cabinets for only 4 new charging stalls. Wondering if they're upgrading all the stalls to V3 or V4.

Would recommend the Nationwide FlexPlus account for maximum AA cover, phone insurance and travel insurance all for £14 a month. Used the AA cover for when your a passenger in a vehicle on my brother Ford Fiesta.

If you're nice to a service centre they might enable it for you. They enables Boombox for me recently.

Out of interest what other options could you enable yourself in Toolbox, not talking about trailer mode.

Just been to Tesla Bournemouth and they made the configuration change. Had to sign a waiver for the change but was all done in about 15 minutes. Total cost of about £65 compared to £180 of going through Tesla for it all.

Just a two button MCU reboot?

Went and picked up a speaker and screws from Tesla today, installed it and nothing... Videos online showed that the reverse and driving hums were working instantly upon connecting. The SC said they'd connect in via Toolbox tomorrow and enable Boombox but not sure if the harness is faulty...

I was having an issue last night where the car wasn't sleeping. Not sure if related.

I'm guessing the part wasn't OEM but did it come with the self-tapping screws?

Yeh I will probably do this. I have seen a YouTuber who did the same on an early Y and they knew a service tech who could enable it for them, but other than that I guess you just got to sweet talk them. Will see if one of the techs at the service centre where I pick the speaker up from will do...

I am thinking about adding the PWS (Pedestrian Warning System) to my 2021 Model 3 which already has the harness. Instead of paying Tesla £180 I am looking to install the speaker myself and get Tesla to send out the software update to enable the speaker. Does anyone know of the difference...

Posted on the TOUK Facebook group regarding Fleet Southbound: "I was there this morning around 11, I did think I might have a chance at a mug as the covers were off. There were 2 Tesla engineers there working on the tombstones. Asked them how things were going, they said they were almost done...

Why have you needed so many HV batteries?

Went past the other day and there was a Tesla Service vehicle parked in one of the bays. Unsure if it was just a ranger stopping for lunch or actual work going on.
