    Black hole - removing central console

    Perfect pictures, thank you. It has gone in here: I agree, it looks likely I'm going to have to go through the procedure as if I'm removing it entirely, even if I only do have to bring it up a few inches to be able to get access. Mine is a 2021 LR, delivered in June. Definitely will remove the...

    Black hole - removing central console

    So if you look at the gap between the seat and the console (yes that tiny gap) from the mid-seat backwards there’s a small recess that lets stuff slip through and inside, directly under the console. Using flexible scope there’s a whole load of wiring inside…. Managed to get the side panels off...

    Black hole - removing central console

    So I just had the back of my Model 3 key fob fall down perfectly in to the gap between the driver seat and the console, then proceed to go straight down the hole under the console to be lost forever in the black hole change pit. Is it worth taking the centre console out to get it? How easy is...

    Frunk opening by itself

    Agreed - hadn't really thought about it happening in motion as all events so far have been whilst parked, but it's definitely a possibility. Nothing in the frunk to trigger the emergency release either.

    Frunk opening by itself

    For the past few months I've been having problems with my M3 LR where the frunk randomly opens by itself - all I get is an app notification. It happens randomly, without pattern, both when plugged in or not, and at home or elsewhere. It isn't super frequent - maybe once a week - but I'm on...

    Tesla asking for votes on SuperCharger locations [UK and Ireland]

    Sadly as somebody who uses the M50 and then the M5, Gloucester services for the Gridserve chargers are too far south. Strensham would cover both the M5 and the M50 run in to Wales. Of course, the state of charging in Wales is another issue entirely. There's a planned supercharger in Camarthen...

    Andersen EV - Goes into Administration

    Andersen was selectable when I signed up to Intelligent, but if it's done via the car, should be okay to continue using the A2 in dumb mode then?

    Andersen EV - Goes into Administration

    I've realised that this also probably snookers my Intelligent Octopus, as this might need the charger to be "smart"? Any ideas?

    Oh biscuits. That's really annoying considering the cost of the A2 in the first place :/

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    If left overnight it will not charge - so I can come out in the morning and have gained absolutely nothing. This, obviously, has screwed me over on several occasions already. There are no schedules running on the Andersen or the Tesla app/car itself. The fact that bump charging doesn't work is...

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    Hi all, We're new IO customers having moved over from Go (boo hiss price rises etc). However I'm having a lot of trouble with charging the car on IO and wonder if anybody can shed a light. 2021 Model 3 LR, charger is an Andersen A2. Test charge fine. So the car gets plugged in after 1700 and...

    Do you use a screen protector?

    Yes, I put a Spiegen glass protector on first thing. It's a cheap expenditure for peace of mind, especially when my wife is a disaster magnet and scratches things with her ring etc. without noticing.

    2021 LR failed repeater camera

    Drove to work this morning, all fine. Got in the car after a long day and big red angry triangle said hello. My driver side repeater camera appears to have failed - bringing the camera viewer up shows that camera as a black screen with a forever spinning grey wheel. Sentry seems to show that it...

    UK 2021 Refresh RHD Model 3 Accessories [megathread]

    My glovebox and driver's side footwell lights were nice and horizontal like all the others (perhaps a little bit of tilt?). The glovebox was a bit of a contortionist experience due to limited movement, but it came out fine. Yours definitely looks...weird.

    Best Selling UK Car June 21

    I don't think specifically, it just happened they had a boat arriving late May that ended up with deliveries in June. The boat that arrived earlier didn't keep its cars back for June. June was essentially a "perfect storm" of a boat load of SR+/LRs that arrived right at the start and then the...

    Wiki Restricted UK Supercharger sites - parking restrictions / registering / pay to park etc

    Sorry to nitpick, but wouldn't it make more sense to use the following: Red = Action Needed Yellow = Restricted Access Green = No restriction for supercharging but caveats to be aware of This way the "severity" increases with the traffic light colours? (ie: green means if you're supercharging...

    The SR+ doesn't have the heated steering wheel active. The hardware is probably there, and there are rumblings Tesla will offer it as a paid upgrade.

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q2 collection and delivery experiences

    Today was the day! Pickup from Bristol Cribb's Causeway. New cars (all M3s) ready for today were just out the back of the store, but I did find another 50+ cars a few car parks away that were still being prepped. I was 30 minutes early but no problem, just had to wait five minutes whilst the...

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    It's a bit tricky with timing, mainly because Tesla don't simply say "12 weeks and the car is there", everything is much vaguer and subject to the exact ship things arrive on and so forth. I would however agree that an order in mid to end of August stands a chance of being in October, but you're...

    BMW I4 prices and specs

    Still way more expensive than a Model 3 though? The entry level car starts at £52k, although it's probably closer to an M3 LR in some specs (range), but notably slower than an M3 LR and is actually more akin to the SR+ in other respects. Plus that front grille is a sin against humanity.

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q2 collection and delivery experiences

    Yeah, I was hoping this removal of lumbar support for the passenger is a Fremont thing and that the MIC cars still have it, nice to hear it might well be the case. Thank you for the checklist. I'm not going to be super picky on collection, but I want to check for some basics at least.

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q2 collection and delivery experiences

    Based on the recent reports out of the USA, any of the gang with recent pickups can you say if you had lumbar support controls on the passenger side of your Model 3? Lastly, any decent collection checklist you'd recommend?

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Ouch, that's a bit of a slow charge considering these are V3s. I'll have to give them a try at some point, but charging at home is likely easier and cheaper most of the time!

    Ah, what VIN have you been assigned? It's pretty easy to make a good stab based off that. Mine is a 235xxx. Red is definitely produced in way way less numbers than any other colour, and then the 19" wheels will cut that down further.

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    Unlikely to be the one you saw today - there's a ship arriving end of the month with another batch of SR/LRs on, which seems to be the early/mid June deliveries. It's likely you've been allocated an inventory car off there. I'm picking up a red LR off that boat on the 11th.

    UK and Ireland Marketplace - For Sale / Wanted / Free

    For Sale Tesla Model 3 PPF kit for rear fenders, as seen here. This is brand new, unused, direct from Tesla, but I decided to get the whole car PPF'd instead. Currently out of stock from Tesla as well. Asking the £50 it cost me, but I'll eat the shipping costs to you in the UK.

    Right, so next silly question! I need to transfer Tesla £50,490. However the daily limit on transfers with my bank is £50,000. Will Tesla be okay with two transactions on two days, or does that confuse their poor brains? The alternative is a £23 fee for a wire transfer that can do the whole amount.

    Tesla are adamant that there is a bunch of cars arriving in to the UK in early June - mine being one of them.

    Cardiff is "lucky" because this is a store location, so Tesla already own/have a long term deal on the property. Honestly I wasn't expecting any superchargers there, simply because it's not on the M4, and we've got the chargers down at Bridgend not too far away. Aberystwyth definitely needs its...

    The inventory cars on the website are not actually in the UK - they're also on a boat from China. If you actually order one you'll get a delivery date of June.

They are expecting it in to the UK on the 1st June, so my delivery date will be around mid-late June. It...
