This is only a very minor issue I know, but since the update my app is showing everything in kilometres. In the car itself it’s all miles, but the app is all European and metric! I’ve looked through every menu I can and can’t find a setting to change it. Anyone else with the same issue?

I have a suspicion it's as simple as the fact the horizonal strip of air is so thin the steering wheel blocks it for some people.

For me it was the thought of someone wiping the screen with a cloth that accidently had some grit and getting a big scratch across the screen which would annoy me for the rest of the car's lifetime. Unlikely, I do admit, but for maybe £20 I'd rather make sure.

2021.12.25.7 running for a few days here on my 2021 M3P. A new space shooting game installed, and finally all of my other games now work rather than saying "wating to update". I think if one update doesn't complete properly you can get those games errors which only get resolved on the next...

Yes mine was already set to just face and wouldn't work, but selecting them all, and then deselecting all but the face option seemed to direct the streams the right way. Well, for a while, now it has stopped again.

He wants a short plate though. It’s fine for a normal sized plate on the front (the rear isn’t) but not for the chopped short plates.

Well this is weird. Couldn’t get it to blow the wind on my face no matter what I tried (2021 MiC M3P). When I was trying something else I had all three of the directional buttons selected (i.e. top, face, legs) and I had the speed on about level 8. I then deselected the top and the legs buttons...

They’re pretty ugly aren’t they. I kinda want one though.

These look great! I don't need them but...................

Exactly this. I wonder if it’s a MIC issue only.

Yep. Just love them (and hate them).

Hmm...... I wonder if I have an issue then, although I have seen others say the same. What model is your car? Mine is a 2021 MIC M3P. Maybe the steering wheel is the exact height to block it from hitting my face.

I'm used to fairly hard paint on previous cars, but is the Tesla clearcoat supposed to be as soft as I think it is? Mine literally scratches with the faintest thing touching it. An example (which I know is my fault): I was carrying a cardboard box to put in the boot and lent it against the rear...

Has anyone got any updates on getting the vent to blow on the driver's face? I used a suggestion on here to put the fan on 10 and then change the direction on the screen until I can feel the air, but I've tried it and even when it's at the very top of the range it only goes to my waist/lower...

My sentry footage always seems to be me walking to my bloody car. You would think that would be excluded seeing as I have my phone on me. Maybe it's if I go round the front, that seems to trigger it. To be honest, I don't check sentry anymore. It's such a chore getting in the car and looking at...

Ha ha. There you go OP, I know you were looking for rental round Manchester but there’s some in Los Angeles and also Australia.

I don’t think they follow any set rules to be honest. Mine was collection from Leeds but they delivered to my home in the North West without asking me, just got a text saying it’s being delivered. I’m not too far from the Trafford Centre in Manchester either where a few on here were collecting...

Wow look at that in grey, amazing. Grey with white was my original order but one night I panicked and changed it to black paint. This is the one car where every single colour is the right choice, they all look amazing. With the chrome delete I think red might be the pick of the bunch but I...

Can't get mine to blow on my face either - tried all angles.

No, I’m using the button. I’ll get used to it I think. Weirdly two passengers have done the same thing now.

It says vent which means it’s on close, i.e. press vent to vent. I’ve not got it on auto-vent. I’ve just tried pressing vent and it drops the windows a couple of inches. Quite cool actually but I’m not sure I’d ever want that as it seems a bit unsecure doesn’t it? I’d be worried about people...

Yeah I don’t mean that, I’ve had frameless doors before so I’m used to that. They’re properly down an inch or two, sometimes more. I’ve just come back to my car and it wouldn’t auto unlock so I had to get my phone out again. I noticed my rear window was down about 1 inch, once again I must have...

Is the signal strength strong enough? It may look like it but from my experience that's what gives you the errors. It tells you stupid things like the password is wrong when that's clearly not the error.

Fair enough. But for me I want to look at my screen and see say 50 miles left - then I can think well I'm only 10 away from home, or my journey might be 80 miles so I need to stop off at a supercharger. I don't want to have to start looking at graphs and sea charts.

I washed my car yesterday. Opened up the frunk at the end of cleaning and there was so much snow foam inside it was crazy. Not actually in the well of the frunk but all the surrounding areas and the underside of the bonnet - a really suprising amount.

I don't ever think I would choose to display percentage left for my battery - how are you supposed to figure out how far you've got left without some complex mathematics factoring in many variables. Miles left is easy to work out.

Does it have to be a M3? I know Enterprise list the Model S “or similar”, might be worth asking them directly now that the Q2 deliveries are all in as they may have more in the fleet.

Yep me too. 275 whilst it’s sat outside after charging overnight. Maybe a couple of miles drained since charging went off at 4:30am.

Shame the general chat thread was closed, guess we’ll have to dump it all in here. It’s been great getting to know the car this past week. Still deciding whether to raise very minor blemishes with Tesla or just get on with it. A few little things: 1. The orange and red traffic lines are...

Can we set up a general questions thread in the UK forum? I’ve got so many very minor questions that don’t need their own thread and are hard to find on a search. Would be a good general discussion thread rather than clog up gathering delivery ones.

Good morning. Could I have a code please. Thanks.

They've all got lumbar support from what I gather, it's just that the passenger one has been removed and blanked off.

Nice valve caps. Can you share the link for them? Any worry of them corroding onto the thread?

I took the mount off and then used 3M foam tape to stick to the backing plate which I left on - nothing touches the vehicle then. The front mount is coverered totally by the reg plate, but the back one is slightly larger. Some people have chopped it down to size but I just left it as is as it...

Yes I've done mine. The holders are different from the previous ones you've seen in the videos. The edges don't come off, you just have to bend the bottom section and then snap it out of the clips, then flex the metal plate to remove it. Then you can access the mounting screws as normal. I've...

Mine was first delivery of the day last week, just turned up at 9am. I then got a text at 9:37am from AnyVan saying my car was on its way!

Stupid question but am I right in thinking you can use any of the USB ports for the sentry/dashcam drive? It doesn’t just have to be the one in the glovebox?

You’re never going to get the advertised miles, just learn your car as you use it and get used to it that way.

I get what you’re saying but in this case that’s not right. It’s deffo not just dust, it’s even in a spray type pattern. Feels like a gritter has gone past on a high setting. The glass marks are more than just moving dirt round with a cloth, they’re almost call autoglass chip level. I’ve tried...

What’s the general consensus on how picky we should be with the odd few marks and blemishes that are bound to be on there? Mine on the whole is really good, panels are great etc and the paintwork looks good. However, there are some scratches on the passenger side of the windscreen. They’re not...

Oh no! I get bin anxiety as they’re collected every fortnight. I couldn’t wait a month!

Yeah fair enough. I guess my thing is that I don’t quite trust the reported range yet. It’s like having a phone that would say 10% charge left but then shuts off because it’s not calibrated correctly. I know they’re two different things but I just don’t quite trust it yet. Finding a petrol...

That’s actually a good idea! I keep a key card in my wallet but the ring is quite a cool novelty addition.

Great first day review. Got to say though, you’ve got nerves of steel arriving home with 9 miles of range left. I’m still in full range anxiety mode….. oh crap I’ve only got 120 miles left and I’ve got nowhere to go….. best nip to the supercharger.

One thing I noted is that they’d changed the construction of the number plate holder from the videos I’ve seen online. The sides don’t come off, just the bottom but now. Then you have to flex the plate out of it to get to the mounting screws.

I was wondering that myself. That would imply that you need phone signal/reception to open your car which would be an awful design choice.

Yes apologies to all - I was being a bit of a pedant when the statement was made that it is at least as quick going slower. I think the wording of it triggered my inner pedant as it was very black and white. As I implied, there's a myriad of other factors which could mean going at 70 means a...

Can confirm this also. The charging was surprisingly expensive. Obviously nothing compared to a full tank of petrol but £12 for me to go from maybe halfway to 90%.

Because physics. Driving somewhere at a slower speed cannot mean you will get there “at least” as quickly. Ignoring things like traffic etc.
