@Avendit If by referring to it as a Lemmon makes you feel any better about yours, then all well and good. I don't believe it was a Lemmon, I am of the opinion that they (model 3) are just overpriced junk (apart from the sat nav). They are not great cars, they can probably be good cars, but...

Just to address a few points I've taken from comments so far, in no order. Firstly, why would I consider a model S, well, given the current price of 2018/19 models, I feel this could work out not too bad financially, not the same chance of continued depreciation compared to what I've went...

After 18 months and some 6000 miles, I finally parted ways with my 2021 model 3 LR today. In that time, it's had 3 charge ports, 2 steering racks, a front wiring loom, a 12v battery, several usb sticks, front fog lights and rear light clusters, to name but a few trivial things. It has been...

It's likely the car will be getting collected, so just need to make sure I can drive it a few hundred yards across the road and of course that they can move it from there.

Searching throws up lots of results, some of which slightly conflicting, so I'm looking for replies only from people that have been through the process of selling or trading their Tesla please. As I understand it, I should do a FACTORY RESET from inside the car (does this allow the car to be...

Hopefully a final update on this sage which may or may not be of interest to someone that has similar steering related issues or warnings. I picked up my car this morning, having had the steering rack replaced again. However, the "Engineering team" are still looking into the issue. Anyway, I'd...

Given the current value of the car, insurance will probably deem it as an uneconomical repair :cool:

Another week without the car, still no further forward as to finding the cause of the fault or how it will be resolved. Might go and look at some self driving Ford's over there weekend...

And its back, less than 300 miles since the steering rack was replaced, the fault is back. So here we are, front end wiring loom replaced, steering rack replaced and now fault is back. Happened on the A9, 1/2 way to Inverness, so planned weekend ruined. Tesla roadside were absolutely shocking...

I occasionally browse existing stock, not that I would ever by another Tesla but it does give me a chuckle now and then. Anyway, I was browsing and stumbled across a model S and was a bit surprised to see that they are being quite honest about the fact it will cost more to charge this than an...

If its torrential rain in traffic, perhaps other conditions and situations where I'd prefer to keep my hands on the wheel and as importantly, my eyes on the road, the last thing I want to do it look down for a pop up menu and attempt to hit the right area on the screen. Good try though...

Another update of sorts, car is back in and this time it needs a new steering rack apparently... I just love the reliability of these cars.

A bit of an update. The car was in the SC for 2 weeks or so and they replaced a "front end wiring loom" and despite a catalogue of other issues while the car was there, relating to loan cars and new faults discovered when I collected the car, I have managed a little over a week or 70 miles or...

Absolutely sick of hearing this now (not from you). It's almost their answer to anything they can't fix and I'm sure it gets used as a fob off in many cases.

@MrBadger They are checking availability of parts, I had suggested that as they couldn't clean it (was a mobile visit as part of other things that were not right following 2 weeks in their workshop) that they replace the part. I wasnt hopeful that they would actually replace the part but at the...

I've seen lots of discussion about cleaning the fake leather but not so many on the light coloured fabric of the interior. I'll not go into it but a recent service visit had left some grubby finger marks and what looks like an oily stain and attempts by Tesla to clean have not exactly proved...

@qwickshot If someone had updated their software to a particular version and found there Park Assist no longer functioned, then my question would have been answered. :cool:

Apologies if this has been covered in one of the mega USS threads, but I do recall reading somewhere that cars that currently have USS (mine included) will have them disabled in a software update and would like to know if this has been the case and if so, which software version?

Did you mention which bodyshop has the car, apologies if I missed it above. I'd genuinely like to know. Is it in the Glasgow area?

Every dealer I've used or made an enquiry to has quoted WBAC when providing me with a trade in value for my own car (not just my Tesla), a common saying is, "we'll beat WBAC by £x) and of course £x comes to around £500 but they of course through in pain protection and blah blah blah so it feels...

I currently have a 2022 registered Model 3 as a loaner while my own car (2021 LR) spends the next few months (part joking, part truth) in their service center. Now I noticed that this loan car doesn't seem to have any form of Parking Assist at all. By that I mean, no beeping (couldn't even find...

@CWT3LR I think I probably had the radio on mute after the first series of warnings 😂

@WannabeOwner Your can definitely hear the relay or perhaps the position changing of the lamps themselves. Interestingly, this morning I went out to see if the other faults were still there and decided to make sure the lights were actually off and you can still hear the movement, even with them...

I also noticed that the headlights seemed to be going from low to high beam of their own accord too (don't have that feature enabled). The thing about the steering is that 75% of the time since the warning, it hasn't seemed any different but certainly did notice it being a lot heaver a few...

@Sean. a 4x4, Wrangler or Defender. @Jason71 option 2 would be the thing to do if one intended on keeping the car (which I most certainly don't and never have), that's pretty normal with PCP finance. @MashinBenzin defiantly! Interest rates are killing the reality of taking on any new finance...

A bit of a reality check these past couple of weeks as I eventually found a couple of the cars I've been looking for at the right price which meant the inevitable topic of trade in value would crop up. So, my car is a Dec 21 LR, just shy of 5k miles and I've been offered between £26k and £28k...

Every one I've driven is poor, mine included.

Cause that's what the company charges where I charge my car. Alternatives are either too far away, unreliable or just simply too slow, Fastned seems to be most reliable of all that I've used. Supercharger near(ish) to me (Dakota) were never the fastest I found and the added hassle of having to...

Was around £1.45 at the time I would guess. I'm currently paying 73p/kWh It most definitely is, just as soon as I can get rid of the damn thing :confused:

I'm sure it was close on a month when mine eventually got sorted out. fortunately I was previously with Blackhorse, albeit under a different name and current was also with Blackhorse so was able to speak to them. Interestingly, they didnt seem that bothered.

Something that gave 24mpg on a good day. I only do daily 75-80 mile weekly commute, with the occasional weekend chores, so always based it on 100 miles a week and previously this was costing me £30 give or take. I wasn't paying so much attention then to be fair but all fuel costs were paid...

I've done the same thing more than I care to count and based on the price I pay to charge (public charger), the ICE wins, time and time again. I've done the same commute for a few years and I pay more to charge my car than I did to fuel either of my last two cars, it doesn't get any more simple...

There are those unfortunate enough to have no option but to pay for "away-from-home" charging all the time and in my experience it costs me more to charge my car than it did to fuel my previous rather thirst petrol doing the same weekly commutes. When I first bought the car, I enjoyed free...

I had the chance to capture this in action a few days ago, so for clarity once again. Previously I had noticed that the heated seats could operate in auto independent of the climate being set in auto. The seemed to change after a few updates but a recent update seems to have it working again...

Unless you rely on public chargers then I'm afraid as in my experience, its costing more than it did in my previously thirsty petrol, but that's another story. Anyway... I got a fright last year with insurance, my then current provider wanted £1900 or something and after searching around for a...

Its in my signature and its not a BMW :cool: Model 3 LR late 21 All joking aside, the only thing I have done different to every other day when I park up, was to disable mirror folding as they had previously failed to unfold due to frost and of course I was expecting a few days of sub zero...

Car's been parked for a couple of days and this evening, one of my security type cameras caught this; which appears to show that the front facing camera area heating element is on. Sentry is disabled, car doesn't get plugged in while at home. I checked with the app which was showing the...

No, not so sure it is this. The windows go up and down otherwise, both when opening and closing the doors and also using the button. I'm referring to them resting at a slightly lower position due to the cold. This isn't currently happening. In my previous experience, the way this should happen...

Title is missleading and can not edit so for clarity, I'm referring to them resting at a slightly lower position in the cold weather and not the normal action of dropping when opening a door. I have observed this working previously but given the recent cold snap, it doesn't seem to be doing it...

I've had my charge port replaced twice now within 11 months, first time for the port door not opening, a day or two after picking the car up and just a few weeks ago for the plug not being able to released. It started intermittently and after a few charge cycles, it simply wouldn't release...

Well it has the toggles on the touch screen and the passenger side works, not great but definitely works, unlike the drivers one. Couldn't find any radio stations at all. The usual Bluetooth, Spotify and Tidal were the only media options. I'm really quite taken by this car actually, in no...

I'll try not turn this post into another rant but I finally got around to dropping my model 3 off for a collection of issues. So anyway, dropped car off in Glasgow and was then advised that they would need my car "a while" to investigate some of the issues, so I requested a loaner from them...

@bo3bdar I can confirm that a 2 button reset/reboot seems to have solved my overnight drain problem. I've tested this over a couple of weeks now and it's definitely gone. The car can sit (as it was able to before) for a few days without dropping or maybe 1% after several days but nothing like...

Thanks for jogging my memory but, from same thread... My current situation is that it's dropping just sitting parked (be it overnight or during the day), i'm losing 1% every day/night where I didn't before, 12 degC where I am just now and I know from earlier this year or last year even, it sat...

Don't even know what this snowflake icon is, is that a new thing? It's been warm up here for days though. As I said, I've had the car through freezing conditions and it never lost battery like it is now. I've had the car sit for 3 or 4 days and yes, maybe drop by 1% but not every night (12...

@TheRealWatto got the heatpump and no software updates showing, maybe also an indication of connectivity issues. I've got the power strut O ring recall thing being fitted today by mobile service, so might try and quiz him somewhat before raising another service request. Reason i'm annoyed as I...

Even last year or earlier this year during the cold spells (frost/freezing temperatures), I can't say I ever noticed 1% over night. It's certainly not connected to wifi when driving :eek: but no, it isn't and that's despite having pretty decent wifi in the house. sometimes it manages to...

I'm starting to see some overnight battery drain, around 1% which is not something I have really noticed in the past 10 months. No sentry mode, not checking the app, nothing plugged into usb, indeed not doing anything different. I am going to raise a service request (probably a waste of time)...

What kind of witchcraft is this?

Whats the most you have paid for public charging? I recently paid 73p/kWh with Fastned and feel quite dirty. Have to say though, they are the best chargers I've used to date but at that price, I've spent longer at a petrol station o_O
