    New owner here. Got a question…

    I suspect the main issue here is doing multiple short journeys. It has been colder these past few days and the car will comfortably use 2kWh or more just warming up the cabin AND the battery. Remember, every time you drive, if the battery is cold (below 10-15 degrees) it will use some energy to...

    Tow bars

    Have a look at the inventory listings on Tesla-info.com as that allows you to search for tow pack and it’s generally wider than just auto trader.

    New Navigation Supercharger Prediction

    This has been showing for a couple of years at least. I've been in a couple of big storms in France and they've shown up on the Nav well before encountering them. It seems to only do it when its properly windy or stormy though.

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Presume you had to tick the box which said your car was still in warranty? Also presuming they'll honour it as you'd emailed in before it expired?

    You are right - this is listed as an undocumented change at notateslaapp.

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Can see what this actually covers, the exclusions list seems extensive. Computer modules probably the most likely units to be pricey, or the main screen.

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    Presuming you don't have an LFP battery.. With mine, it only offered the one-time question when it was plugged in and I changed the charge limit to over 80%. Has worked for me twice since the update, each time it automatically reverted to 80% after the charge had finished. I guess the only...

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    I'm pretty close to running out soon, 47k and just hit the three year mark. If we do email that address, what happens if we have an issue with the car once the warranty has expired but before any of us have heard anything back? I very much doubt they'll do free repairs on the basis we might buy...

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    It is THE update, but mainly because I've had (mostly) dumb Matrix lights fitted for the last three years. The dip beam has been much improved since the end of last year. When I went to France in January, my dipped beam adjusted as I drove out of the Chunnel exit in France. It visibly moved from...

    [UK] 2023.44

    It is sort of obvious, but perhaps with RHD your hand obscures the pop-up which you'd see more clearly if you were driving LHD. When you click the left button the wipers wipe, but each time you do this the wiper control screen pop-up also appears for a few seconds with all wiper options and...

    If there are installs in Australia, then there isn’t a RHD issue, therefore delayed rollout here, which has been speculated on SM at least.

    Charging anomalies M3 & Zappi

    I've had all sorts of issues with charging my M3 on my mum's Zappi. Ours works fine and we never have an issue (our Zappi is a couple of month's newer), but when I charge at hers I get all sorts of interruptions, charge delayed and failed charges. I've worked around it by reducing the current to...

    Run-away I-PACE, really?

    I saw that report and thought its more likely to be driver error. I did wonder if the foot mat moved so that it covered or restricted access to the brake pedal, or was over the throttle and keeping it pressed down. Other thought was cruise control being accidentally engaged or set speed...

    Unreliable charging using Intelligent Octopus

    @Spikey.B you can set up the Zappi to run a Timed Boost for 6 hrs from 11.30pm, then leave it set on Eco+ mode and the car will charge from 11.30pm as required (you need to disable smart charging in devices in the Octopus App, otherwise your Tesla will try to smart charge at other times). I...

    Windscreen replacement cost!

    My sentry mode saved some of the workshop time and there was a Tesla branded target set up in front of the car with various markings on it which the cameras were clearly aimed at / calibrated against before the test drive was done. By the time I got the car back, the cameras were ready for AP...

    Windscreen replacement cost!

    I was chatting with an Autoglass Tech last week. He told me they have a Model 3 or Model Y into their depot every single day for a screen replacement. He says the screen is pretty big compared with many cars, so has a higher chance of being hit, but also due to the size its a two person job to...

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Hmmm. The old extended warranty had to be taken out before 4 yrs / 50k miles had elapsed, otherwise it wouldn't be offered. Helvetia withdrew from the market at the end of December, so I don't know who your dealer (do you mean Tesla service centre) was referring to. At present, the website says...

    Trailer Mode and a bike rack

    I carry bikes on the tow hitch quite often. It automatically turns on trailer mode as soon as the rack is plugged into the electrics. Once you turn off trailer mode, the accessories light shows, but autopilot becomes available again.

    Trailer Mode and a bike rack

    Best to turn off Trailer mode in the menu when driving with a bike rack, as I think trailer mode also changes how the car responds if you were to lose control, be in an accident etc. You can just turn trailer mode off after you've attached the carrier - the lights will all still work as they...

    Highland Efficiency

    These look like good figures, but your average speed we around 30mph, so goes a good way to explaining it. I've kept a Do Not Reset trip meter running since I got my M3 in March '21 so I have a lifetime average (251 Wh/mi after 45k). I think you'll find a longer trip at 70mph will see figures...

    [UK] 2023.44

    I posted a thread about this behaviour a while back here.. It may be a more serious issue, but could well be that it needs to sleep fully to enable the AP computer to reboot.

    [UK] 2023.44

    I installed 30.9 this morning. It then followed up with a NAV update to 2024.2-14843. I'm not sure what difference that will make, but its done.

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Anyone checked out the Cleevely EV Warranty? Underwritten by A1 Warranty in Leeds - £400 per year, any age vehicle any mileage. Perhaps worth considering once the Tesla motor and battery warranties expire. Max payout of 2.5k per claim though. EDIT - Remembered them mentioning a specific battery...

    2024 Insurance Costs

    When I looked into it, Flex appears to be online only with no way of speaking to a person if you need to. Also no option to add cover abroad (at least to cover beyond 3rd party only). I steered well clear of it..

    Yes, apologies, its another tyre thread - but after searching the UK forum, I can't see any posts on either Falken EuroAll Season AS210 or Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 on M3 18" wheels. I'm thinking about swapping over my PilotSports for the rest of the Winter and whilst I'm aware many owners...

    Anyone else noticing the car really sluggish to wake up? Am on 44.30.1, but the app just seems to do weird animation and I can see if the car is awake or not. Updated to latest app too, so not sure if it’s the car firmware or the app update. Weird animations on the Powerwall section of the app too.

    App nor octopus IO not waking up model 3

    I think the latest app update may have some issues. The Powerwall side of things also has weird graphics. The car seems slow to wake since 2023.44.30.1, so am wondering if that’s why 30.2 was being sent out yesterday…

    +1 for the email support as above. They respond promptly and have sorted issues for us well. Think your installer doesn’t understand the product properly either.

    [UK] 2023.44

    I've found it to be much improved compared to recently. Did around 250-300 motorway miles at the weekend, in heavy rain, clearer weather and then at night with and without rain. The wipers were better, although still wanted to go faster than needed some of the time, but did slow and stop as the...

    So, you selected the Keep Climate On mode in the car, but it just turned off when you left it? Sounds like it needs a reboot if that's what's happening, as something isn't working as it should.

    [UK] 2023.44

    You could just select keep climate on, rather than have to sit in it, were this app issue to happen again.

    Maximum length extension cable for use with granny charger?

    My experience is that public charging in France is way ahead of the UK. Most small towns and even some villages have chargers. Sometimes just 22kW AC points, but they still work and are perfect for destination charging. Chargemap probably is the best resource for French chargers. There's a great...

    Maximum length extension cable for use with granny charger?

    As others have said, the official length is 0m. One other consideration is you mentioned this option for France. How are you planning to adapt the UK extension lead to Schuko? You can't just use a standard plug adaptor as they are usually limited to 7A and occasionally 10A. I have made up a...

    What's people's experience with the M3, towbar bike carriers and bikes?

    As @MovingSouth says, just kneel and you can see what you're doing by bending down.. In terms of the bouncing, it does do it but there's no movement between carrier and tow ball. The advantage of the Tesla is that you can see the carrier in the rear camera whilst driving. Not sure the Disco...

    What's people's experience with the M3, towbar bike carriers and bikes?

    I've carried two standard bikes with a Thule carrier on our M3 without issue. I think the 55kg nose weight is fairly standard on most saloon / hatchbacks, you've been a bit spoilt with the Disco's 150kg.. You tend to only get higher nose weights with bigger / SUV vehicles. I've towed a trailer...
