Based on what facts?

Does it park slightly over to allow the driver more room to get out?

The 80/100A fuse Mark is referring to is the DNO's main fuse, not the breaker in the consumer unit. If you only have a 60 or 80A fuse then only the DNO can upgrade it.

If the DNO cap you then it will be for the entire system - doesn't matter how many batteries you have. I'd recommend you calculate your total energy usage for the day and get batteries large enough to handle that - don't purchase an extra battery just for handling freak instantaneous peak...

Only for HP, not PCP which is the product most people look at.

Made in Germany I presume?

Plates are made up and applied to the vehicle before collection day, the registration number just isn’t logged with the DVLA until the day in case the buyer pulls out or the vehicle has to be swapped out etc.

Yes, but the person who enquired had ordered a Model X.

Yes, I would imagine it would only charger the 12v battery at 5 to 10 A, anything more and it would detect a short in the battery and throw an error. You would need to have the car powered up, then the load on the 12v feed would be from all the systems and any accessories you have plugged in -...

It’s basically how all manufacturers using a variation of Toyota’s production model operate but Tesla can build faster and cheaper by limiting options and building in batches based on what is available not what has been ordered.

Not sure any deliveries have occurred yet but VINs have been assigned. Post in thread '[UK] 2024 Order to Delivery discussion' [UK] 2024 Order to Delivery discussion

The cars are strapped down, the higher pressure stops the rubber deforming - clearly needs to be a higher pressure for these tyres.

They fail to wipe with UK drizzle or spray on the motorway. When they dry wipe, the only way to turn them off is to press the button to bring up the manual controls which makes it dry wipe again 😠

They supposedly standardised the suspension over a year ago so they shouldn't be any differences now - possibly there might be minor differences as the factories probably source components from in-region suppliers but they should be the same spec.

The vehicles I've owned with cornering lights, whilst built into the fog light assembly, have separate elements that light up and point in a different direction to the actual fog light.

There has just been a ship unload 1000s of vehicles.

Whist not natively possible, the SEXY buttons/knob accessories allows 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% regen to be set.

Clearly a software issue, I assume you meant it isn't a new software issue in this latest software train.

As you say, you should only really compare a whole quarter because last year they weren't delivering many vehicles in the first 6 weeks of a quarter - which has now changed somewhat this year. The reason YoY is only down 2.3% for the end of April is because they actually did deliver vehicles in...

Looks great. Is this made in China or Germany?

Not sure the parts took that long to arrive. My local SC probably just didn't have service availability until then and it suited me as I've been out of the country for a few days anyway.

This error came up on mine a couple of weeks ago. Raised a service request, parts order and fitted today under warranty - only took 30 mins but needs to be at a SC not a mobile visit.

That was the plan, to reduce the team size. It's just the Musk forgot his responsibilities as a CEO and fired the whole team to set an example to do as he wishes. Now they have lost all knowledge, don't have a clue what they are doing and will have to hire in new people (or rehire people on new...

They won't be putting another ICE on the road with an LC500 as it is no longer sold here in the UK - it will be an existing car with a different driver ;)

It’s a bit more fiddly with the M3, especially RHD ones but still an easy DIY task.

No, other than faster delivery. But it looks like all MYs for the UK will start to be supplied from Germany soon.

Very likely to be coming from Germany.

M3 RWD and LR now have a lower PCP interest rate. Not great at 5.9% but better than the 9.6% is was yesterday.

I don't see why - they are down 11.8% year on year for Q1 in the UK.

I doubt it too, it would need to be a tear to break the antenna that runs around the edge of the card.

There was so much backlash the last time they lowered prices in the UK that they may be reluctant to do it again. I'd certainly expect very low to 0% interest at some point shortly once the initial M3H orders are out of the way - and discounts for inventory vehicles.

Yes. All the first MYs delivered in Feb 2022 had Ryzen processors, so unless some rogue vehicle was then shipped it is safe to say they all have them.

I’ll preheat the cabin for 5 mins if it’s cold outside but I don’t preheat the battery unless I’ve charged fully and I’m going on a long trip. For normal journeys don’t bother.

Fluid going bad means it will have moisture it in which can start to corrode the brake lines and cause fade under heavy prolonged braking - MOT won't pick this up at early stages. Just because a vehicle passes an MOT it doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

They don’t test the fluid. It would have to be really bad for the fluid to visually fail the MOT check.

They might replace under warranty if the card shows no sign of physical damage. Otherwise you can purchase a pack of 2 at the online store, and I assume at an SC too. https://shop.tesla.com/en_gb/product/key-card I wouldn’t have thought the phone would damage it.

You will throw your Speedo/odometer calibration out by about 3.5% in doing so. It would also be deemed a modification by your insurance company as it isn’t a type approved size for the car so it would be recommended to inform them.

But it doesn't have Cherry Red which is also now available in the UK - this has been discussed on another thread, where it does appear the UK will start to get MY from Berlin - it is somewhat confirmed as someone in Ireland was told by Tesla their MY would come from Germany. Those two new...

If I force close the app the Bluetooth connections drop and I cannot open the door until I restart the app on my 2021 M3. I purposely do this all the time when I’m not going to use the car to avoid noticeably higher battery drain on my iPhone if I leave it running in the background. I imagine...

It's worse. Old M3 was 11.6m kerb to kerb, M3H is 11.7m.

Not Cherry red, only the new Ultra red. At this stage we don't know if China has been updated to spray Cherry red or they will come from Berlin. ATM no other countries supplied by China have Cherry Red as an option - which implies they could have switched UK production to Berlin.

Not sure. Quicksilver is available in China already but not Cherry Red. Either they are now going to start supplying UK from Germany or the China paint shop has been upgraded. We will need to wait for VINs to confirm country of manufacture.

By a small amount:

Not larger than the RWD directly preceding it, at 60 kWh, but larger than a SR+ which has a 55 kWh battery capacity. Only in the US I believe ATM.

OP's old vehicle at 340 miles implies it has a 2021 75 kWh battery, not the 79 kWh battery in the 2022+ M3 so there should be 20 miles benefit just from that.

I'm not reading the OPs question that way. Given he already owns a Tesla he would have knowledge that the range on the screen does not represent WLTP figures. I read this as his new M3 isn't achieving any real world increase in range over his old one, even though on WLTP's paper it should go an...

Given they cut production in China to 5 days per week I don't see them getting back to their quarterly highs.

Your battery is fine. Whilst Tesla need to quote WLTP official range predictions in Europe they actually use the US standard in the car which is a lower and more accurate estimation, although even that is optimistic.

This isn’t an exclusive Tesla charter and is stopping in France first so probably isn’t carrying 3,650 Teslas. Difficult to know how many there are aboard.

RWD? The LR has better materials.
