Can anyone with a Model X (circa 2020) tell me whether you're able to open and close your window with the app and whether you have the option to close windows on lock? I don't have a X myself but my mate does, a P100D 6 seater delivered Sept 2020. He's a bit narked that my M3 will close all the...

My dog seems rather happy laid in the rear footwell… if that’s of any help

Quick note to let you know how pickup went… I got to the Trafford Centre a little early but they didn’t seem to mind. Hand over took a couple of minutes and they couldn’t do enough to help. Looking over the car I couldn't find anything noteworthy, in terms of being wrong (so far). It has...

Until now I’ve had EVs that aren’t partially obvious as EVs so I’ve been able to go about my business unhindered. Apart from pensioners asking me all about it when they see me plugging in, usually when I’m in a rush. I’ve been loathed to tell acquaintances or colleagues I’m getting the Tesla. I...

Exactly! They don’t get on. Those swans are always talking about the potential differences between the species. It’s a high tension situation.

I went with DL... They were competitive for me but the price went up £80 (10%) when I moved the start date of the policy by 2 days. I think it's generally cheapest to get quotes 21 days before you need the policy but I don't know how anyone would time everything with a new delivery.

My understanding is that PEN fault is more likely to be dangerous with an EV because it's outside of the house (where you could be the conductor to ground). Inside the house everything is balanced because there's no route to earth. So if you're inside a house with a PEN fault don't play hook a...

I've just set my mum up with my old Chargemaster 7kW box. (eBay also seems to have plenty) 40MCB in the CU Block drive made doing an earth rod properly a massive pain but the regs allow you to do without the rod if you have a device like this. Garo G6EV40PME Consumer Unit, MCU Type A RCBO &...

The 18” wheels still being on Michelin’s is music to my ears.

Saturday afternoon me, not long now 😀

Tesla have just sent me the following. "Tesla Update - Your upcoming Model 3 collection is at The Trafford Centre, Regent 14 Car Park, Regent Crescent, Manchester, M17 8AB. Exit M60 at Junction 10 and head towards the Debenhams Entrance off from Trafford Blvd. For directions visit The...

Does anyone know what charge level the cars tend to be supplied with? I’m just wondering whether I’ll need to factor in a charge stop on the way home.

When I asked about delaying they said they can do it by a week or so but any longer than that and they’ll unmatch you with the car and re match you with a car later on. If there are plenty of the cars in your spec happy days but I guess you run the risk of having to wait for the next boat around...

My VIN is 219 too... Do you know if there's something that can be worked out from it being 219? Mines an LR. there seem to be a few SR+ on 235 VINs.

If you're able to get into your order on the Tesla website there's a documents section ( right hand side). If you have a "final invoice" the Reg and VIN are on there.

The first I knew of my reg (and VIN) was on the "Final Invoice" in the documents sections of the details page of the order on Tesla's website. The invoice appeared about 5 days after I got the "your car has been allocated" text. I rang up to check the reg wasn't going to change so I could...

It has more than one!!! I've managed to make it more than 30 years without getting anywhere near the place. How do you think I managed to save up for this thing.

I ended up ringing them. It's the old Debenhams car park. I think she said to come in from the BP station side. Postcode is M17 8AB.

Does anyone know if Tesla give more detailed pick up locations nearer the pickup date? Currently I have: Manchester-The Trafford Centre The Trafford Centre

I'd not thought of that... I tend to have to put seats right to the end of their runners but there might be room behind the missus. I have a nagging feeling that there's some requirement to have dogs restrained which might be struggle on the floor. I was speaking to a friend with a Cocker...

I can imagine... In all the faster cars I've had before the downshift tended to give the game away somewhat. Thanks, I'm starting to think this config will work. There's been some 'discussion' in our house as to whether having double trouble together in the back might be asking for trouble...

Thanks, I guess it'd be a tape measure job to assess that. No... 90% of the time it'll be me on my tod. I would have a Y but as far as I know Tesla have a mañana stance to Model Ys in the UK.

:) This issue has already cast a grey cloud over M3 day in my house... I suspect just suggesting option 4 would involve me moving out. That would probably solve my car Tetris problem though, with just me in the car I'd have plenty of space though.

Hi All, I was wondering whether any of you have had to get their 'significant other', a baby and a dog in their M3 at the same time? The dog is a border collie so medium sized dog and is more than happy in the boot of hatchbacks with the parcel shelf removed. I'm picking up my M3 at the end of...
