Exactly, thats why I was spurred on to "solve the problem"! The highest speed I went up to was a blip to 65mph, but an average of 25mph, and it was totally solid and secure etc. It probably effected my efficiency a little bit though! FYI, I got 101% Efficiency, at 219 Wh/mi. 13.40 kWh used...

I wanted to use my Model 3 as a lead vehicle in a cycle road race this weekend, but the signage stuff was all magnetic (not suction cups) so I needed to create a bespoke magnet/glass interface ;-) This is what I built and it worked a treat! The cyclists were really happy not to be breathing in...

It's all too little too late from BMW. They are late to the party, and as expected, are missing the entire point. Keeping their cars visually looking the same way is just them demonstrating there unwillingness to innovate and create exciting new EV cars. And why do they even need that ugly...

I use Alexa to turn on the Climate in the car. very handy to be able to do that by voice whilst getting ready to go out.

I can confirm that I can now make a Fart sound on the external speaker! Genuinely looking forwards to the next time i'm in a supermarket carpark ;-)

Yes it will be China, and their cars are tip top! Picked up my LR last week, and it's perfect :-)

Love this idea for the UK. Imagine if we could just submit our dash-cam footage to a Police/Gov website (perhaps "tosser.gov.uk"), and they sent a fine to the car owner within hours, then (and this is the crucial bit) you get a notification back to say "Thank you for your submission, the car...

I saw the same report on the TV, and was gobsmacked it was a Tesla. You have all that money, you want to be more "green", yet you still think throwing your crap out of the window is acceptable. They should fine all drivers who do this sort of thing heavily.

didnt know that one - Cheers!

Why not just change it to engage at current speed instead of speed limit? works perfectly …

You can set the cruise to engage at current speed. I’ve got mine set to that

I picked the car up new today, and it was made in the China factory and arrived in the UK a week ago. I didn’t expect it to make this reversing noise, and I can’t see anything yet to change it in the UI, but to be fair I’ve not been through the whole thing yet (too busy driving it!)

Here you go: It only makes the sound when i reverse, as can be seen in the video. The sound changes slightly dependent on reversing speed

Sounds like a howling wind! ive got a video of it, but not sure how to post a video here…?

My brand new Model 3 in the UK is making a sound when I reverse. No Boombox in the UI, but it’s clearly got the external speaker fitted and is making a default sound

This thread suggests that the card that comes with the car from new is not up to the task. Is that true?

I'm leasing, and i've got to go and pick mine up from Bluewater in 3 weeks time. Apparently they cant deliver 60miles up the M11 ;-)

I had no idea that cold weather would have such a dramtic effect on the battery power supply. I knew batteries would be less efficient, I didnt realise less powerful also. Good to know

Yeah, good point on the tyres and brakes. I couldn't think of a reason to "go steady for a few miles first", but this would make a lot of sense.

Coming from a BMW 330d, I was always told that i needed to allow the oils and engine temps to warm up nicely before I demanded some performance out of the car. i.e. dont drive it hard until the engine is warm etc etc So is there a similar logic for the Model 3? Should I allow a period of...

So, in summary, it's looking pretty likely that its LYDDEN delivering the RHD's to the UK in time for mid-May collections...

Does anybody know how long it takes a ROLO to travel from China to the UK ? Also, how long it trypically then takes for cars to be distributed to collection points within the UK thereafter?

So I will be picking mine up (12th May) from Bluewater shopping centre near Dartford Tunnel/Bridge. This wasn't an option when i ordered, so I guess this is a brand new collection location ? Anybody else been told to go to Bluewater?

Yeah, I am picking up my M3LR on the 12th May from Bluewater Shopping Centre. I really hope this is legit! But it certainly looks like RCC Africa might well have my baby on it!

I placed my order on the 6th April

Mines on the way to the UK now, not sure where exactly! Blue/White/18 Very excited! Could be as soon as the 15th May apparently

Me too! :-)
