    Our Tesla Crash

    So. A fortnight ago our Tesla was involved in an RTA. Or, I like to think, had an RTA inflicted upon it. (There’s a more detailed description of what happened below.) My wife and I were returning from a festival and were hit by a BMW X3. We’re (physically) fine – our Model 3, not so much, but...

    Random frunk/froot/bonnet opening = alarm going off = lessons learned

    Last night, we were just heading to bed when the M3's alarm went off suddenly. Glancing at the app, it was clear that the bonnet had popped open of its own volition, and obviously releasing that catch is enough to trigger the alarm. I went out, closed the bonnet, thought, 'That's odd, hope it...

    Quick Trip to Bristol Service Centre for Wheel Rotation (Leased Car)

    Just a few observations on my trip to Bristol earlier this week. It was prompted by a (generic) email from the lease company (Knowlesfleet) asking me to check if there was anything that needed attending to after six months of driving.

    Nightmare! Devon Holiday Scratch...!

    Picked up the M3 on Friday; went on holiday on Saturday. My worst nightmare happened today - on the narrow lanes of Dartmoor, I ended up scratching the rear bumper of the car. (A double-decker bus was coming down a narrow lane; I had to reverse into someone's drive to let him pass. And then...

    Starting to Have My Doubts (About Leasing an M3) and We've Not Even Seen the Car Yet

    I've just spoken to a Tesla peep via Chat and I think it's fair to say, if there's an opposite of post-purchase confirmation bias, I'm currently experiencing it. (I thought I'd start a little thread, partly because what I'm going to say covers a number of topics - ordering, leasing, charger...
