As mentioned on the other thread I had to do this not very interesting trip from Cambridge to Manchester and return on the same day. But noticed few interesting stuff with my Model Y. The car and app are on all the latest software versions. Having had my Model 3 for 3 years and had done few...

I have not recently used ABRP. But last year you can adjust the date and time to calculate the routes in ABRP without subscribing. However I tried it today but couldn’t see an option to change the date or time? Has that gone under subscription? Does anyone know?

I have got one of this to open the charge port in case if I can’t use my Apple Watch. However, I am not sure whether there is any reliable plastic sticking glue that I can use to stick it on top of the charger. I have got a regular Podpoint charger🔌...

I had to book in the car for a service request related to some window squeaks. I booked in around 3pm today - pleasantly surprised to see mobile service available on Good Friday. Booked in but still surprised got an appointment in 48hrs on Good Friday, I can only dream of with JLR. Anyhow among...

Today I wanted to do a test run of my Model Y to London and see how good it is in terms of a normal trip and try and see how much miles is possible on a relatively miserable Feb that can help me to figure out what I can possibly expect from a RWD model Y. I wanted to do this earlier as soon as...

Tesla service centre Chelmsford has an option for a quick test drive while you charge without booking for a test drive of Model 3 Highland.

Got a loaner on Thursday and supercharged to 100% the EPA is 210miles. Odometer reads 40000 odds and 69plated. Not sure how much degradation happened over the last 5 years? Does anyone know what was the EPA at the time model 3 was released in UK? Still the car drives well and more composed...

Ouch, that is my first scratch on the Model Y. It is small but in a visible area. I am not sure whether T cut is enough for this or need more than that or need some professional scratch removals like Chips away?. I think it still falls within the 5cms range for the PCP/lease car returns, so not...

Tesla has announced their new SC sites worldwide. Though most of the expansion in North America, we have got our own Peterborough as one of the bonus sites. I guess this is on top of the new Tesla service centre planned in Bar hill, Cambridge. That is 4 sites in Cambridgeshire (Trumpington, St...

Finally, the lease company collected the car yesterday. It was non stop rain and dark. There was not much he could inspect. But said he will update. Will wait to hear from the lease company. But car looked good - no major dents or scratches or scuffs. I have done around 21,000 miles in the last...

Getting ready to hand over the Model 3 back to the lease agency. Still have to do the factory reset and remove the car from the account. I have read somewhere that remove the car from the account to be done only when it is ready to be taken away by the lease company - do I need to wait till the...

I have had Rimetrix hubcaps on my Model 3, however, it did leave scratches all over the alloys. Luckily I had the alloy wheel protection cover and so managed to get it sorted before I hand over the Model 3. But I am wondering whether the Tessories wheel hubcaps with some foam pads are better...

Tried to raise a service request - unable to submit it as it says SW updates doesn’t need service request??

Does anyone know the contact email for the referral program? I have used the [email protected] but this email is not monitored. So are there any other email people are aware of?

Does anyone know what is the best contact number/email for Tesla PCP queries? I have emailed their respective [email protected]. However, are there any UK contact numbers I can contact to get in touch to clarify finance deal so that I can complete the order. Any suggestions welcome.

I am planning to order a Y before their £3000 offer ends. I have read somewhere but can’t find the details. Can I apply as referrer and buyer - they offer SC credits for referrer and buyer gets £250 off? If I apply this way will the SC credits go to my current Model 3 (used as referrer) and if...

Can I get some numbers for the above question please?. It doesn’t have to be exact - but whetever your car indicated while on 80%. Might help what you normally get during Summer and Winter. I am thinking of buying a Model Y RWD but if the mileage is equivalent to the LR on 80%, I’ll go ahead and...

As we are nearing the end of our lease we thought we will do a test drive of Y and see whether it suits us. I wanted a RWD though limited by range - we are used to the SR+ Model 3. We didn’t think the LR will add much to our needs. But we may choose a LR at the end. Fingers crossed. I was...

Cybertruck launch - Elon just smashed it. That’s absolute Hollywood style release. And the segment about faster than a Porsche 911 towing a Porsche 911 just killed the German automakers! That’s how you do a car launch!

First time noticed the Australian Model 3 Highland with buttons near spotlights for P, R, and D. It is not modified as the reviewer clearly said Tesla had given this for review. Is this because of any local regulation that you have to have buttons, or levers for gear changes? Not aware of any...

https://www.gbnews.com/lifestyle/petrol-diesel-car-ban-electric-cars-bmw-chief And the BMW chief says: “We want people to spend a lot of money on our products because they say ‘It’s the best product for me’. Because they want it and not because they have to” Come on, how many really want to...

This question is nagging me for some time. What do the admin and other forum members do when they get to know when someone is passed away?. I have not read the policy or remember what was mentioned. Me, being a health care professional, I deal with this everyday and try and have some answers to...

Just changed to my new iPhone 15 - there were some reports of overheating and the charging/apple pay stopped after doing wireless charging (Tesla chargepad) with iphone 15, I thought I’ll update since changed to 15. It is been 1 week and I have the new iOS version 17.1.1 - bug fixed for...

We are on our way to Italy. No problems in terms of charging except at Folkestone (understandable). Most were non teslas occupying two spaces and then you have model s chargers free. So bit of wait but we were bit early so no harm done. France was smooth and we are in Troyes and charging. It is...

The first V4 Tesla Supercharger station has opened in the UK ‘Future-proofed’ charging hubs bring 250kW power… even for non-Tesla electric cars and comes with a PayPad so non Tesla don’t have to use the app and longer cables...

Anyone aware of Model 3 rear passenger side window sunshade that can be delivered in few days time? I checked the Tesevo.com - looks perfect but will take around 10 days to deliver so may not be useful. The few amazon ones don’t look great and I am sure will be fiddly to install and then fall...

A grey Model Y boot accidentally left open parked in Cambridge park and ride. Happy to close it if you are not nearby and fine with it. Otherwise will be around for another 20-30 minutes. Hope you are on the forum and check your TMC posts so that you can remotely close.

I know this is a Tesla forum but I thought I will discuss this here as recently I had to hire a 7 seater for a trip to highlands. Looked for a X but couldn’t find any for hiring and the only option where I live was to hire the Peugeot 5008. I wasn’t sure about the car and the trip involves...

Elon shows the new model silhouette- looks like a hatch/coupe sort. Model 2 or Model Two? https://electrek.co/2023/05/16/tesla-teases-next-car-new-image/

Tesla’s V4 supercharger in Netherlands opened in March. Has longer cable and max power output of 600kw. Also the Tesla letters lights up to make it more visible. So I understand all the Kia EV 6 can now charge from 10-80 in 11 mts, impressive...

Planning application submitted for new Tesla showroom and services at Barhill, Cambridge. A great addition. We do not have to go all the way to Milton Keynes or Northamptonshire. https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/new-tesla-car-dealership-planned-26441030.amp

I am not sure how long they have it but it is my sheer lack of enthusiasm for all the details I’ve never checked the pod point app. Now it has some details regarding yearly, monthly or daily charging cost, kWh etc., A nice addition to a pretty basic app and will be of help to lease car holders...

Fisker Ocean ads coming up often - they have got 4 models ranging from I think £34990. And the prices are in pounds for a LHD market. Not sure anyone have reserved one? If so, any response? Good competition for both 3 and Y in terms of price. Checked the UK forum no relevant threads related to...

Has anyone noticed any of the instant impression (decorative bushy type) plants next to home charge wiring slowly decay and die? This is our second decorative bushy plant we have kept next to the wiring cable - just to hide the wiring cable as it is near our front entrance. I am neither a...

This is my first puncture with M3 after 12000 miles, the tyres aren’t too bad for 12000 miles so would like to keep them if possible. But not sure whether this is repairable- pics attached, please do let me know. The other thing is I have got AA, so can ask them to come to have a look and...

My TMC fonts are in bold, is it just in my ipad or one of the new updates to TMC website like Tesla does?

Noticed Tesla widget in iPhone again showing in miles. Haven’t done any software updates and car display is still in %. But the charging stat also shows added ‘n’ number of miles instead of the usual watts. Will update if it changes again.

I was trying to work out SuC stops for a trip to Cornwall. I have not used ABRP in the past for real trips but have checked them before but mainly used the tesla route planners (in the past with battery % in route plans gave some idea about quickly changing the stops if needed). However, as we...

I was looking for one of my phone (it is a BB which runs early version Android) recently and I could not find it, my main worry at that time was whether I have lost it. This is my second phone and this also has Tesla app but I did not enable bluetooth key for this. Unfortunately as this is an...

This thread is mainly to find out whether Tesla’s objective of reducing the drivers input and making the car more automated has worked. From a personal point of view I haven’t touched the screen other than for using the sat nav and possibly some minor adjustments with the heated seats. But...

The interview is on other TMC motor club - interesting one for the UK and Europe forum How many CEOs can talk about their product in-depth like Elon other than the handful of tech giants? I don’t think any of the automotive sector CEOs know even their product and the mechanics of their ICE...
