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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

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'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...

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)...

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

Not normally something that really bothers me or would bring me to a forum, unless puncture related of course as I hate punctures, but that's another story. So, this morning I get the alert and sure enough 3 of the 4 are showing orange and are at 37/38 but one of them remained white, also...

For months now I have noticed that even though my climate has not been set to auto (due to battery drain), the Heated seat seemed to remain so. For example, climate manually set to 17 and blower at 1 and if for example, I increase the temperature to 19, the heated seat came on for a short...

I’m curious whether you charge at the above locations, whether holidays, overnight trips or whatever and not whether it’s technically possibly or the lengths of extensions and so on (many other threads about that), I’m more interested in the etiquette. If it doesn’t explicitly say you can or...

My car, a Dec 21 LR with 3k miles was in last week for dash-cam issues (still not resolved) but as they wanted the car overnight to monitor, they gave me a courtesy car, a 70 plate SR+ with some 13k miles on it. The first thing I noticed was the amount of rattles from inside the car, I'd...

Had my first puncture in my model 3 this morning and I have to say, I got through to service pretty quickly. There however is where the good stuff stopped. I was surprised to learn that they do not repair punctures or replace tyres at the road side (in a car park as it happens), all they are...

I was out today and had TACC activated (not self steering or whatever it's called, just the normal cruse control, one down click) when I got an audible warning accompanied by a "take control of the vehicle" or something to that effect, in red. After I stopped, I checked as I was sure this...

I'm pretty sure this was not the case before, but today I noticed while charging that my steering wheel would not turn, it felt as though it was locked in the conventional sense. (I cut my charge short as I was concerned about it). So anyway, once I finished charging, it remained locked...

I've seen a few posts on this, mainly regarding the rear doors though but this is regarding the front drivers door. when I got the car in December, it definitely required only a single press to open but over the past couple of weeks, this has intermittently required a second press to clear the...

Since picking up my car in December, I've noticed the proximity lines on the passenger side are almost always showing, mostly yellow and this is the case on any single carriageway even when hugging the centre of the road. A bit annoying but is it normal? I ask as I also get a lot of door pillar...

Noticed some condensation inside both front fog lights this afternoon, which prompted me to check the rear clusters and sure enough, they too have joined the party. Surly, this can't be normal or acceptable...

What a complete nightmare. the last car that I had that was this close to being this bad in the snow was an old Mondeo. Slight incline, forget it. Reversing in my work car park on fresh snow, forget it. Windows fogging up inside, shocking, absolutely shocking. And before anyone dare mention...

Is this right, well obviously it's right but why? I'm assuming they can remotely lock and unlock but can't drive the car without a paired key, is that right? The thing is I may need to leave the car overnight and collect the following day and can just imagine, should the worst happen and the...

I noticed this yesterday, while sitting in traffic, the sound is from outside the cabin, under the front or "frunk" of the car and the only way to describe it is a clicking or ticking sound. When I got home and parked the car, I got out to investigate and the sound would come and go, in terms of...

I got a message while charging last night that perhaps next time I should navigate to a supercharger in order to precondition the battery for faster charging and all that jazz, which is fine, but what if I'm using a rapid (wasn't so rapid as it happens at 33kwh) charger which isn't a...

I'm maybe having a senior moment but I can't for the life of me seem to be able to create a service request if I have one already in place. (I have a mobile one scheduled and wish to book another for something completely unrelated). I can't see that this is possible and don't want to risk...

I picked the car up on The last week and I've covered about 98 miles. There were 6 miles on the clock when I picked it up and 41% battery. I brought the car home, went for lunch and charged it from 30% to 80%. Over Friday and Saturday (Saturday was a bit colder, probably below 6degC but rest of...

Hi all, picked the car up yesterday from Glasgow and so far, cant really see any issues worthy of note, panel gaps seem ok, USB ports are there and the wireless charging seems to work. There is a scratch on the centre console but I'm not so sure it's worth making a fuss about. Car had 41% and 6...

As the M3 LR now only sells with 30 day Premium Connectivity trial, has anyone received their car which was ordered prior to the change and can confirm if it has the 30 day or 12 month as previously listed? Additionally, is there a way of checking if you have the 12 month or 30 day trial, other...

I'm due to pick up the car next week and time is running out for me to bottle out, so I'll likely flood these forums with some last minute quick fire questions, which can of course be ignored :cool: I'll be pretty much public charging as per my other posts and while I will have a backup...

As per subject... I ask as I'm sure on the many occasions I've had reason to call Tesla, there is an option for puncture repair or similar. So my question really, in the UK has anyone used and if so, whats the deal, how quick, is it a repair or replace, cost and so on. Thanks

What I mean is, does it need to be tweaked and tinkered with frequently, be it through reboots, body lubrication or whatever? I'm not meaning in the way an older, come classic car does but just generally, can I expect to charge it every couple of weeks (depending on mileage) and top up washer...

My previous can had auto wipers and in cold weather, below 3degC or something, if previously left on auto, they would not wipe when starting the car until they were manually operated. This was naturally to prevent possible damage should they become stuck to the windscreen. A neat feature I had...

Having searched and youtube'd the life out of things the past few months, I have found some conflicting reports of the differences between the two and I'm wondering how many things that were perhaps missing from earlier SR+ models might actually be present in current ones. Admittedly, I have...

I'm wondering about the PCP finance and if, like with other/normal dealers, there are options as to who to go with, allowing different rates of interest, deposit, mileage and so on. I read that business customer financing was through Blackhorse but consumers through Tesla. I have a not too...

I have a few of questions relating to the Model 3 and was hoping for some feedback before I fully commit. In no particular order; What is in place in terms of warranty for the more serious of issues, that perhaps can't wait several weeks for a service visit. A breakdown for example. Should I...
