I'd probably look at having them reimburse me for the cost of repair. When I say light I meant, because the car is white, its not as visible. This scratch is definitely into the basecoat, and is about 1m in total length. So not exactly a minor thing. Yes it's true, over time you should expect...

Let me just start by saying, I've only ever used Park Royal SC so perhaps it differs at other locations. As the title suggests; if you have a drop and go appointment when you arrive at the SC, record yourself doing your own visual inspection of your car from bumper to bumper. Make notes of any...

Park Royal crash: Woman killed as car ends up on Tube tracks

This is my main complaint with the Park Royal SC, (I've not had experience with any other SC, as they're too far). Everytime I pick up my car, I have to spend 5-10 minutes inspecting the interior and most often, wiping down the (white) seats because there is always black dirty marks somewhere...

Just curious if anyone who has recently had their windscreen changed by Autoglass, also had their cameras calibrated by them? Queried camera calibration with an Autoglass rep on the phone and they said they "do all that" when they change the windscreen. Don't know if I can take their word for...

Have you had your windscreen replaced yet?

Has anyone been able to get their windscreen replaced through Autoglass yet? I just joined the windscreen club on Monday 11th April 🙃. Windscreen crack (now roughly 7") has been growing due to being out in the sun, I'm guessing the windscreen expands in the heat, causing the crack to get worse...

Didn't think I would have an update so soon but I took the car to a SuC last night (earlier that day I updated the firmware to 2021.36.5.5) So after I got there and plugged in, I figured I'd give the sentry footage another test, see if the update made a difference. Sentry footage on all 4...

Unfortunately, still no fix for me. I think I can rule out storage media and card readers. Just have to wait for my service appointment with Tesla in a couple of weeks and hope its just a simple fix. My neighbours must be tired of seeing my circling my car over and over 😅 @VanillaAir_UK thanks...

@VanillaAir_UK was there supposed to be a link in your message? I've downloaded a couple of different formatting tools, which I'll use on the SanDisk tomorrow and see if that fixes things. I also decided to give Tesla a call before I booked the service. The advisor told me to perform a soft...

Update to last post: Still no luck with the Samsung T7 SSD. Plugged into glovebox port, and centre console USB-C port, issue persists. So just to recap for anyone else who might come across similar issue, I've tried: OEM Tesla USB flash drive Sandisk Extreme Pro MicroSD Samsung T7 SSD All...

Yeah, this is a strange one. My SanDisk Extreme Pro was formatted on my laptop to exFAT. And I also tested on the original USB drive Tesla provided and formatted in the car itself...issue still presents. My Samsung T7 SSD just arrived today, so I'll run some tests with it. Might even try...

Yeah my main concern is the video tearing/artefacts. Just a quick YouTube search of Tesla sentry mode footage tells me this isn't a normal occurance.

thanks for clearing that up, just pulled the trigger on Samsung t7 SSD, hopefully that resolves issue surrounding artefacts/tearing

Apologies in advance for the crotch shot. I've noticed my rear camera is suffering from colour fringing quite a bit with sentry mode footage. Before I report it as an issue for SC, just wanted to know if anyone else has come across this issue and whether its considered "within spec". Same...

With regards to operating temp of SSD's vs SD card in UK climate, would there be much of an issue? IIRC sd cards have a better operating temp range than SSD's. I placed my micro sd card into another reader, still getting tearing/artefacts, I then plugged in the original USB drive (rebranded...

That sucks. I was literally about to buy another reader as well. It's more of an annoyance for now, but knowing my luck, something will happen and it'll have artefacts on the footage when I need it most. I originally wanted to go the SSD route, but I read micro SD + adapter was the better...

Did you ever figure out what was causing the artefacts in your videos? I'm having same issues with my sentry mode footage, I'm using "SanDisk Extreme PRO MicroSDXC 170MBs Class 10" with the MobileMate card reader. Wondering if it could be the reader.

Ingenext Bonus Module Has anyone considered this? Plugs into the MCU under the front passenger footwell (although I've read that access to the MCU is more difficult on newer models due to placement) Adds a whole bunch of useful features, such as: Auto frunk and trunk release with proximity...

Ooh, these might be perfect as it's mainly for the window over the child seat and we rarely open that door anyway. No transmission tunnel so DD can just scoot off and walk along the floor to the other side 😆. Where did you get them from? I can't seem to find any UK sellers.

How are these doing 5 months on? I'm interested in getting these, just a little hesitant sticking things down to the interior door trim.

Honestly, I'm very sorry I didn't take photos or a video of when I entered Southampton collection point, I was honestly shocked at how many Model 3s they had there. The photo doesn't do it justice at all. It was like a sea of them as the Uber drove through.

Collection from Southampton So I got there bang on time. I was absolutely shocked at the sheer amount of Model 3s there. It was a sea of them. Photo doesn't really do it justice, photo probably only shows 1/10 of the number of cars. Greeted by staff, took my driver's license to confirm ID...

The vehicle reg won't be registered with DVLA until the day of collection/delivery. I was able to enter the reg and manually enter vehicle details to generate a quote in confused.com.

There's nothing physically stopping you from parking somewhere else. What if you happen to visit a friend and are parked away from home? Does that mean you have no coverage? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but insurance can't prove you're parking somewhere permanently unless you actually tell...

I'll be the guy with a clipboard and inspection torch combing over every inch of his car 😂

Do you have any new flat developments around you? You might find some people offering parking spaces to rent.

So after a nerve wracking weekend, they've found my vehicle. Something to do with the sheer number of vehicles they're trying to move, mine slipped through the delivery schedule. Unfortunately, they can't get it to Brent Cross until next week so I'm off to Southampton on Wednesday to pick it...

So I've spoken to customer service again. They confirmed VIN is still showing on my account, they just can't tell me anymore information on why the car wasn't delivered or its whereabouts, the team dealing with it don't work weekends. When the customer service rep first pulled up my order she...

Well this is a little concerning: my VIN no longer shows up on the main page of the app. Have to go through the settings > notifications etc, it's still showing up in the page source as well. I dunno guys, am I being paranoid?

Seeing as everyone is counting down, I will too: 1 day...late 😂

Wait a sec, did you collect your car from Southampton today? My car was supposed to be delivered to Brent Cross for collection today but apparently it's still in Southampton. I asked to go collect it myself today or tomorrow but customer service said I would have to wait until Monday for them...

Honestly mate, I would call up 2 days before collection day and confirm that your car is definitely going to be delivered and is on the delivery manifest. And then the day before, call up again first thing in the morning and confirm the car was on the truck bed, heading to Brent Cross. I'm...

Right now, I'll just be glad to get the car tomorrow. But, yeah depending on tomorrow's outcome, I'm going to need some extra SuC miles...1 million SuC miles

I've booked tickets for the zoo on Monday (up north travelling from London) for my daughter's birthday, and they're non-refundable. So I was supposed to travel up on Sunday. I don't use Twitter, but depending on what tomorrow's outcome is, I may have to register and fire off a load of tweets.

FML, the car never arrived at Brent Cross, so I'm not picking up tomorrow. Apparently it's still in Southampton. Completely scuppered my plans for the next few days. Have to call first thing in the morning to find out if I can go to Southampton same day and pick up the car instead. Customer...

Don't forget the before photos for comparison. It's going to look absolutely mint when it's done. The way a black car reflects in low light and in the night...thing of beauty

Damn, that sucks. What colour do you have? My car is booked in for the end of the month for its ceramic coat. I have white and I've read the Fremont ones would often have pretty bad mismatched panels. Hoping this won't be the case though.

I hope this isn't an issue with the latest batches that have just arrived! Watched one of RV Symons videos who inspected the MiC M3 paintwork and he took it to a detailer who said the paint work had greatly improved over the Fremont vehicles, and compared it to the likes of BMW and Mercedes

My reaction to all these recent posts about home charger installations, whilst I can only use public chargers due to living in an apartment...😂

I have a day and a half remaining. I'm pretty sure I've reached a Zen like state of mind.

Not planning to get my M3 tinted just yet. But I'm planning to go to FAW Customs in Golders Green for ceramic coat job, they also do tinting, wrapping, pretty much the works. Not used them before, but their reviews and body of work on Instagram gives me confidence.

I'm considering something like these. Any issues with these when it comes to changing tyres?

Unfortunately I live in the inner city, so a barn cat might not feel at home 😂 "Drunk are Frunk area" That makes sense, would save a lot of time not having to remove the frunk area

Guess it would be difficult for you to say which method was most effective right? I considered the light/sound repellant but from what I've read, its success rate varies. The peppermint method would require me to pop out the frunk area every so often to respray, where as the light/sound box is...

Yes, apologies. Autocorrected and I didn't double check before posting. Is it possible to change title?

I live in an area where we have a pretty bad rodent problem. The bushy area next to my parking spot is a rat run and I've seen them scattering around and climbing up the fences, when I pull into my spot at night. I want to be proactive and not have to deal with the possibility of a rodent...

Yeah slim. I think I only saw a few people get cancellations in this thread.

Delivery Timescales Has some info on quarter manufacturing cycles and lead times. I cannot vouch for the accuracy, but it may be helpful for those of you who are entering the Q4 delivery period. In my experience: - 12th Aug: started looking into M3 options. Checked their inventory, and they...

https://abstractocean.com/products/ub-bundles https://abstractocean.com/products/m3y-premium-rear-footwell-lights Might want to consider adding some new lights to replace the existing ones, especially the boot lights, as they're not particularly bright. Also the rear passenger footwell lights...
