You all had nicer cars than me In 2010 I had a 1998 Citroen Saxo VTS. I loved that car - best handling pocket rocket I have ever driven. If you had told me then I'd be driving an Electric Car in in ten years time (got my Model 3 in 2020) I would have laughed at you, never mind that I now have...

Logged in to say the same thing. Drove to Disney and back in the space of a few days, didn't have a single drop, back in the UK for a few minutes and signal started dropping once more. Like others, started for dropping for me in early November. Signal blackspots where there definitely weren't...

All 4 wheels on my Model Y are basically wrecked at this point. My wife has smashed them all multiple times, and I am guilty of rashing them on at least two ocassions. I've never owned a car with such unforgiving wheels, the wheel (20" inductions) basically sit proud of the tyre. Yes my wife...

Just watched this myself and I'm very pleased my MY from last summer has sensors on. Vision, from this test at least, looks absolutely woeful.

I hit the register my interest button on the Anytime page, filled in the form and it told me I was eligible - downloaded the app and completed the sign up process there - all done and sorted in a few minutes! Link to the "register your interest" page: Anytime

Thanks for the advice all - just signed up and granny charging at 10p a KWh - they really don't care what charger you have if you drive a Tesla. This will save us a fortune - brilliant stuff. Now I need to sort a replacement 7kw charger.

I see! Well that changes things then (gives me more options on what I get to replace the pile of steaming turd that is the Tesla Gen 2 charger) - any chance you can remember any more of the supported chargers? I would go with the Tesla Gen 3 charger seeing at is seemingly supported, but I have...

Interesting that you're using a Tesla Gen 3 wall charger - the Ovo sales guff makes no mention of connecting to the Tesla backend or the Tesla charger itself in terms of compatibility - they only mention a couple of Indra and Ohme charger variants. If Ovo's offering is more flexible, as you...

Our Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector recently packed up (not for the first time - these things are pieces of *sugar*) so I am in the market for a new charger. I was thinking of going for the cheapest available option but, being on Ovo and trapped on an expensive (standard) rate I could recoup the cost...

Hey - sorry for the late reply I've not been on here for a bit. I went my own way and called Admiral's claims line - explained the situation in detail, made out like the car was unsafe to drive (it was, crack was right across my vision). Asked to speak to the guys manager and made it VERY clear...

Yeeeep - just ate charge in the winter. Great car overall though, loved it! Looking forward to seeing how the MY with it's bigger battery and heat-pump compare on the coldest of days.

My 2019 SR+ would do about 150 miles in winter at 70mph with the heater blazing. Not great.

My gen 2 wall charger came from eBay and I had a similar issue. Tesla just needed convincing that I was the original buyer from new (little bit of fibbing required) and yep, they sent me a brand new unit. Shipping me the unit took ages and in the meantime the one already wired up started...

Picked up from Southampton this afternoon. Big long queue but didn't mind waiting as I knew it'd be worth it. Shortish drive home for me back to Winchester. Funny seeing so many other new Tesla owners on the road on the way home. Car drives great. Zero issues with the car that I can see...

Exact same time / location as me! :) We're just going to go and get some lunch in town before pickup. If you spot an eager man in a white Seat Ibiza, that'll be me, come say hi! (I've had to do some long journeys in that Ibiza in the last two weeks, after selling our 2019 M3SR+ - definitely...

Always collecting from Southampton yep - and black interior same as you! No EAP. Guess I got lucky!?

I got a text to say my MYLR - Blue - Induction Wheels, was to be delivered June 30th while on Holiday in Spain last week, this is while expecting the car to turn up in September/October! Some frantic moving around of funds and selling of my Model 3 (in just TWO DAYS and getting £500 more than I...

I just jumped from September/ October delivery to collecting on the 28th of this month! I have some *sugar* to sort out 🤣

My EDD updated from blank to August 29 - October 13th this morning. The change in EDD is not really affecting my mood to be honest, absolutely love my Model 3, just changing to the Y so we can go single car / practicality reasons.

Yup - blank EDD here!

My order has gone from September 19th - November 11th this morning, to blank with no date this afternoon. No idea what that is supposed to mean. MYLR Blue 20s

Just to play devils advocate somewhat, I had my windscreen replaced at the Winchester SC yesterday and, once I'd gotten over the fact that the previously occupied service centre door was boarded up, the whole process was faultless. The tech (shout out to Kev) kept me up to date on progress as...

In absolutely shocking scenes Admiral have agreed to cover the replacement under their glass policy! RESULT!!!

Had my windscreen replaced at the Winchester SC, my wallet £760 lighter. Just waited on hold with Admiral for half an hour only for them to pick the phone up and then hang up on me. Wonderful service. When I can eventually get through to them I don't expect them to pay for the damage, but I...

I'll be selling my 2019 SR+ soon if anyone wants to avoid the 9 month wait! 😅 Great choice by the way - love my car to bits! Only changing to a MY because of kids + dog.

Good work! Hoping I can convince Admiral to do the same for me - don't hold out much hope though. Last thing Admiral said to me was that Autoglass would pick the part up from Tesla for me so they could fit the glass themselves, completely backwards. Just let Tesla fix it and pay them instead!?

My MY/Blue/Gemini has just been bumped from late June to September. I don't mind really as when I ordered the thing it said it would arrive in October - bit funny seeing the EDD fluctuate so much and so often, though.

Hmm I did try calling Admiral and asking about this - I was told the best they would do it £50 (yes, really) towards the cost of the replacement windscreen. Maybe I need to be firmer as this has been dragging on for ages.

I've been waiting around a month for Autoglass to get a replacement windscreen in for my Model 3, no luck yet. Got a text yesterday saying that "due to a national shortage of Tesla Glass" they would not be able to book me an appointment, and that they would be in touch soon. I've got a separate...

I just bit the bullet and ordered a Blue Model Y with Induction Wheels... After looking at what my bank would offer in terms of interest rate I thought sod it, why not, totally affordable. I will be selling my 2019 Model 3 SR+ to mostly finance the purchase, with a loan making up the rest...

I have ended up on this thread after searching for issues with the model 3 rear camera. Mine started stuttering recently, as well as the image quality falling off a cliff. This could potentially be a cause.. or at the very least, a reason for Tesla to replace the wiring and or camera under the...

Sold.

Brand new unopened gen 2 Tesla Wall Connector. Received as a warranty replacement for current unit but ended up being surplus to requirements (the one we already had started working again... And has been for 12 months now so this one can go!), as such unit is sealed and has never been opened...

I have a Model 3, a 2 year old and a cocker-cross-lab. I went from a Focus to the Model 3 knowing that I was sacrificing having a hatchback and that I would have to live with the dog going in a hammock on the back seat... I had the car for one month before buying a 10 year old Seat Ibiza that we...

Same boat as you. I wish the Model X had depreciated a bit more as an alternative, but alas, a 2017 75D X will still set you back £57k.

Excited for those that have ordered! Wish I could justify it, as the Y would suit my lifestyle so much better than the SR+ 3 I have now, but 60 grand is too rich for my blood unfortunately :(

This annoyed me a lot, so I turned the "driver safetly assistance" (I forget the exact setting name) down to it's lowest level to avoid it screaming at me as often. It helped a great deal. In it's default mode, it constantly thought I was going to go up the back of someone or driving into a hedge.

"Open Butthole" is the only command I tend to use. And that is just because I like saying it.

Yea, did that - £33.5k on their site. Which is decent tbf - but that wouldn't be enough to tempt me to put my hand in my pocket and handover another 10k of my money for the updated SR+ I've never had a valuable car before this one, and I won't again (inheritance was the only reason I was able...

Sorry to steer this thread back on course - but I have a question! The going rate for a 2019 SR+ on Auto Trader at the moment looks to be £37k and up. Which is £1k more than I paid for my car a year ago, when it was a year old. How realistic do you think it would be to achieve such a price...

I pay for it just for the ease of using Spotify. The satellite maps are nice, but I can live without that, and the traffic information also. Now that they have rolled out the update that stops WiFi being turned off when you put the car into drive, I might consider binning the subscription off...

Yes! I was taken by surprise, you come off the A3 or A27 and I expected to still be doing 40+ given the style / location of road but nope, limit is 30. I didn't realise until I almost took off, pretty sure the car bottomed out at one point :D Be a shame if these do indeed get binned off as...

I had to stop at the Portsmouth SuC at the weekend and 4/8 were unlit and out of action. Not sure if this is a common thing for this location or not as I've never had to use it before.

Thank Jebus for Sentry Mode!

Keele southbound is my nemesis. 25 minute wait to get on one of the four chargers last time I was there ( 4 weeks ago now).

Anyone else immediately get booked in for all four tyres to be replaced after reading this? No? Just me then..! (this is the first really nice car I've owned, jeez getting the correct tyre is expensive!) Really sorry this happened to you - awful.

I've been in enough prangs (third party or otherwise) to know that, at least in my case, insurers couldn't care less about the car that is being repaired. I've even had one written off and paid out for that had all sorts of undeclared modifications on it. They just sent a flatbed to remove the...

Just to add to the ever growing list of complaints about this.. My 2019 SR+ has had condensation in the passenger side-inside tail light, and the driver side outside tail light ever since I bought it last August. My initial googling told me that I wouldn't get it fixed under warranty unless a...

Definitely seems to be a premium on used Model 3s at the moment - I just chucked my SR+ details into WBAC (2019 17k miles) and it came out at £34k - just £1.5k less than I bought it for last August (ex demo). WBAC is usually garbage - just shows how sought after the car is at the moment.

The Model 3s lack of a hatch back is a real killer for dog owners, especially if you throw into the mix an excitable dog AND kids. We have a single seat hammock for the dog and a car seat for our two year old. This is fine in the summer when it's dry, but I don't want the dog in the car in the...
