... don't even know if insurance will pay out... vandalism by an unknown animal ? the only clue I had was a dead pigeon next to the car... its unbelievable, I can't even make this up

car parked in locked compound , found hood covered in deep scratches which looked like from claw marks, there are at least 20 -30 deep scratches with various length, a majority through the clear coat. completely devastated, still have no idea what happened, theory is might be a fox or seagull...

it's getting worse with the wet winter weather.. anyone figured out ?

Q3 21 delivery

if you have 21 LFP SR+ and wondering, check your app now! I have a Sep delivery... just saw this..

Things got pretty hairy for me today, was literally skating down hill with those oem tire then it struggled to get up another the hill being RWD. .... if you live in the country side, where there are lots of hills.. I guess winter is a must... I don't, but am looking to fit the cross climate 2...

2022 RWD M3 increased range to c300miles (wltp) @ 100% charge.. closing the gap on LR daily use 90% limit.... its not as fast ... but 5.8s is still good. So forget about diff residual value between Rwd Sr+ and Lr awd, its the other brands to watch out for...

In my opinion, LFP battery is very understated, studies has shown the chemistry much more resilient than the typical NCA /NMC, ie little impact from high SOC and indeed less affected by DC charging..also its much safer.. its superior to the other battery chemistries, only downside is that...

LFP model is 125kg heavier than the NCA variant, yet same 0-60? 🤔 performance motor sound about right.

Sr+ model 3, LFP battery MIC, software version 2021.32.21. My range estimate on a full charge... I've only clocked 400 miles so far...

Seems like been a push this morning, collected last Friday with 2021.3.107 and received app notification to enable WiFi and download 2021.32.31 . I don't have WiFi connection while parked, just used my mobile as hotspot. Took around 40 mins to download and install. Not check yet, but figers...

Glossy matte 😅

She is mean in black..

Yeah sounds like it's pretty common on Tesla.. which is unfortunate. Might just try an book in a mobile service through the app. If they don't fix it.. at least will give em piece of my mind , don't care what their acceptable tolerance or spec is, its unacceptably by industry standard for a...

Yeah mine is pretty loud when supercharging as well. Also , noticed sometimes loud fan noise from the frunk area when on park , it was a hot day today... funny it doesn't make enough noise when on the road, already a few incidents pedestrians walking out cos they didn't notice me!

Pretty poor design I must say. Does it happens during rainy days as well ? or is it just the pressure wash .. I guess will out soon enough.. 😅

21 m3 ...condensation after car wash.. is this normal?

That's rubbish! Definitely kick up a fuss and escalate the issue. The car is not up to standard.. Maybe try to get advise from motors ombudsman on what the best recourse if they refuse to fix the issue... It is Tesla.. but it isn't above the law!

Picked her up from Glasgow today.. the bad. - was left outdoor in the rain overnight , covered in dust and water spots...tires was manky too. . not a good look for a black car ..had scuff right side back bumper .. picture the good.. 99 % charged and 7 miles on the odo. No obvious gaps or...

yeah? ... that's pretty impressive

Congrats! you beat me to it.. lol can't wait to join the black tesla club! I'm have to leave it till Friday.. can't get away from bloody work!

Tell me about it.. just got a call from Tesla to confirm collection in Glasgow, apparently they can only charge up to 100miles for pick up. might need to stop at the superchargers on the way back..

Does anyone know if the 21 m3 comes preinstalled with USB stick in the glove box? 🤔

Totally agree, I drive even less at 50miles a week lol .. public chargers are like lottery atm... lucky for some , not for all. Not too worried with the capacity being more than 4x on average weekly usage. Mainly opted for SR+ as battery in the newer lfp model should last longer... little...

Great to see to see all the discussion. ... must not forget that degradation is also down to BMS , which I don't think is accounted for in academic studies. The BMS and heat pump ie octovalve in Teslas should keep the batteries at optimum operating condition to minimise the deg, albeit within...

It's down to individual circumstances and where you live. Maybe give it a try, looks like there are incentives out there which is ideal but depending where you are... Agile Streets

Incase anyone is wondering about the SR+ LFP model …interesting study… https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/1945-7111/abae37/pdf - based on 200 full cycles…looks like no to little degradation due to 100% charge, fast charging or temperatures. Pretty amazing… even without BMS…

...hope I'm not unlucky like this poor guy...

Fingers crossed we don't get harsh winter thus year, then again it's Scotland .. let's

Delivery due end if this month for SR+ RWD, any ideas if they would come with summer or all season tyres, for those being shipped to the UK ? Has anyone had experience driving in the snow?

I'm thinking of getting my windows tinted ... do you have any recommendations in Edinburgh?

Ha, there was not wrangley, I just got over excited and mistyped the date.. not sure actually which ship it's in as the agent didn't mentioned. What is this nonsense.. its an open car park and I want to bring company to share all the excitement! 'To ensure we observe necessary safety measures...

It's all pretty surreal ! Mine is actually on the Friday 24th , noon time . I'm sure we will see each other around the superchargers too!

congrats buddy!

Thanks, very helpful! Good to know there is leeway if loan takes longer to approve! there I was complaining the car is taking too long to arrive... 😀

Jeezo! Only Tesla can get away with ..

Hello, yeah Glasgow ,you? weird there was no option for Edinburgh SC. No text as yet, was just rough estimate when I asked via email. :(

correction VIN 337 xxx ( page source)

This is nerve racking!placed order on 19th Aug , still on the waiting for contract page.. VIN 377 xxx ( page source)

I'm thinking of applying for EST , selected cash option when placing my order with Tesla and at the stage waiting for the contract and invoice , expecting delivery date end of September. If I submit application with EST today , the loan offer potentially reaches me just in time before...

interesting chat.. I've opted for the MIC SR+ with the LFP battery main reason being the longevity. Recognising uncertainty around winter weather performance and living with it without access to home charger or relying on supercharger and public charger. These are risks I'm willing to take...

Congrats! I have to go all the way to Glasgow and still waiting for that text :( .

Placed order on the 19th Aug, email confirmation noted estimated delivery for Glasgow between 17 September 2021 – 30 September 2021 No text received and waiting for contract.. , checked vin via source code 337xx. Finger crossed made it on the last shipment!
