Mines called Snowy, not for the obvious reason that it’s white… I have a Wire Fox terrier which is the breed Snowy was in TinTin, so it came from that.

I haven’t seen a vinyl one on the back before, might have to look into it!

The police classed it as vehicle interference as the plate got left behind on the grass

They had gloves on, the police filed the case 5 mins after they saw the video recording and said they’re too covered up to have any leads… They did patrol the area for a while last night after, so not completely useless

Thought I’d share as it’s not something I had really considered until last night, but the Tesla number plate mounts are not really very secure! My M3 is currently fitted with the regular Tesla bracket and plate on the rear and the front replaced with a vinyl/stick on one. At about 20:00 last...

What service option did you pick when booking? Something else?

I have a salary sacrifice car, which is basically a lease car and can’t add any upgrades

I had the joy of trying all of these services getting rid of my previous car prior to collecting the Tesla It’s rare private buyers spend that much as they’ll want some kind of finance and warranty, so I found the cost of advertising is just a waste. Motorway quoted the highest for me, but...

I haven’t looked at these for years now, but amazed to see so little from Ford on there.. . I thought the Fiesta used to consistently feature in the top 3. The year to date features only features 3 SUVs too, which is surprising.

I used one for the first time over Xmas (Exeter SC @ Darts Farm) was packed, got the last spot and another 4 Teslas turned up after and had to queue. I wanted to charge to 90% but the car changed it to 80% and said it was a very busy location

Most dealers are awful and lack any in depth knowledge about the cars. I work in vehicle drive train design and development and yes we’re all sad and want to know the exact transmission, axle, electric drive unit, etc in every car we come across (but that’s what interests us at work). I’ve...

Interesting review and I’d agree with the majority For anyone whose coming from BMWs (which seems to be quite a lot on here) I compared the M3 LR to my previous 3: 2009 E82 120d coupe 2015 F21 m135i 3dr hatch 2018 F36 440i Gran Coupe Interesting what you say about the seats, I really miss the...

Mines through an EV scheme at work and so far as I can see it’s included

Couldn’t agree more, the Polestar 2 was the car that got me interested in EVs and was my initial go to when I first started looking for a new car. Styling and interior are lovely, the hatch back was a big plus for me with a dog too. Then you get to the price and option packs to even make it...

Ouch! Glad to hear everyone was OK that’s the main thing. Hope you get everything sorted easily and stress free Look on the bright side now you can go test drive lots of new cars, always the best part of getting a new car 😊

What you comparing it to, to say it‘s a ‘very low spec’? Having come from owning BMWs for the last 9 years (and loved all of them) and family members owning countless Audis, Mercedes, etc over the years, I can’t say the Tesla is a low spec car let alone VERY low spec. Are there bits that could...

My best guess from the limited view I have.. . Next 5 years we’ll see more efficient ICE cars, high performance hybrids with smaller engines (e.g more like the new C63 AMG, etc) and more EVs will come to market and continue to develop as they are now. I’d be surprised if we see anything...

English was my weakest subject at school so I’m not surprised I made a mistake haha, but will certainly bear it in mind. Every day is a school day 😅 Maths and science were my strong points, so I became an engineer and design the things we’ll all be driving around in the next 5-10 years :)

Did my first long trip yesterday, Leamington Spa to Dawlish and back in a day with a little driving around while down there which was about 360 miles in all, pretty much all fast A-Road and the M5. Departed on 100% charge, didn’t precondition as it was very mild here yesterday and got to my...

I’ve not tried and it’s raining here, so not walking out to the car but.. . Can you use voice commands for the fog lights?

Mines been sat on my drive unplugged since Xmas eve and it’s dropped 1%, sentry mode disabled at home and think I’ve looked at the app once to check for updates, so the drain is pretty minimal. Pretty pleased about that as I walk to work most days, so was a concern that it would just sit there...

I had another M3 flash at me yesterday.. . Every other car in my home town seems to be a Tesla, so that person must be wearing their indicator stalk out! 😂

Agree about the auto wipers! I find that drizzle/fine rain is by far the worst for them not even activating, guess they haven’t experienced rain like that in California 😂

You should be able to manage that keeping the speed at max 75mph, fingers crossed its dry as driving home the other night in torrential rain in the dark did seem to make quite a dent on my battery % Have to admit its quite a learning curve switching to an EV taking all this extra stuff into...

No I haven’t had a game update message, I’ll need to charge the car later so maybe it’ll update then. Been sat in the drive doing bugger all over Xmas! Thanks for the info 👍

Dunno if its only me, but I can’t see the sonic game in my toy box.. . Do you have to have a controller connected to see it or something?

I’m on a 24 month fixed with Octopus with 23.75p day / 18.5p kWh Looked at switching to Go with them which increased the day time rate to 23.75p kWh but with working from home and I don’t do massive mileage it doesn’t work out beneficial for me, I’m just going to keep an eye on it for now, I’m...

My company used Fleet Evolution and the age is 24+ and I think you have to be employed for at least 6 months before becoming eligible. We looked at a few schemes and there’s a load of options in the way the business can set this up. We could pick a lot of the terms and options offered to...

Looks awesome, mine appeared in same time in the app too was expecting longer with some of the comments about lease cars on here. Everything else good with the car?

Mine updated to 2021.44.6 pretty minimal changes with it according to release notes

Exactly right, you should get a letter from the DVLA within 14 days confirming you no longer own it. When I sold mine in to Trade Centre UK they did it online and gave me the print out from the DVLA there and then, sounds like Tesla don‘t do this even though It takes like 30 seconds.

Has anyone had Tesla contact them about fitting the usb c ports and wireless charger yet? Just wondered what the whole process is, do they call, text, app notification?

I collected mine from Leicester yesterday and took some photos today as was dark when I got home Collection all went smoothly, spent a good 10 mins looking over the car at the delivery centre and then ran through the check list today and it all looks good. New rear lights, USB stick present in...

Some better pics now its light and got the aero covers off.. .

Collection went smoothly Gave the car a good look over and was all good with panel gaps, paint, etc, will give a much better look over tomorrow with the app. Newer version of rear lights, USB in glovebox was there, 50% charge but missing front USB-C and wireless charger though They hadn't done...

Collection day 🥳

Last few times I’ve used the Eurotunnel there’s been technical faults and a broken down train meaning they were only operating 1 tunnel and only 1 train could go each way at a time. The amount of hours wasted at the Calais terminal over the years has been a nightmare.. . The refreshments they...

Collecting mine from Leicester space centre on Friday at 13:00 and just got the dreaded USB C/Wireless charging text, so fingers crossed they’re there when I get it but who knows!

So jealous of all of you picking cars up they look great EV scheme come and installed my charger yesterday, some Project EV thing reviews don‘t look great for it but seems mostly around scheduling in the app, so will avoid that and use the car. Plus other than giving them my details to claim...

30mpg is pretty good going for a JLR product!

Loving the 4 series and M140i Have had BMWs for years with a m135i and then a 440i I sold my 440i Gran Coupe about 3-4 weeks ago (jumped at the chance while 2nd hand car prices were silly), beautiful car, will miss the straight 6 noise and the hatch back of the Gran Coupe, but certainly won't...

Just got my VIN and Reg ready for collection Fri 17th Dec Gonna be a long 2 weeks! Hopefully my scheme can hurry up and install my home charger too but I won’t hold my breath!

Got my text today collecting from Leicester space centre on Friday 17th Dec 🥳🥳🥳

Fingers crossed I get my message soon then! What an Xmas gift :)

Sold my 2018 BMW 440i Gran Coupe a couple of weeks ago for a M3 LR Loved the BMW and will miss the engine note of the straight 6 but the 2nd hand car prices in the UK have got so silly due to the chip shortage I actually made money on it, so was a no brainer! Certainly won't miss the fuel...

This gives me hope!

For myself I ordered through an EV scheme at work in October, got confirmation text from Tesla 11/11 saying to set up my account and a text saying your vehicle arrival is being calculated on 22/11.. . Seems pretty similar to a few people here who also got the same text on 22/11. If you ordered...

White LR with black interior here

What spec did you order? Wonder if it's something to do with that, hope you hear something soon :)

Hi all, Future owner here, ordered a M3 LR in October through the EV scheme at work, got confirmation from Tesla with the RN on 11/11, can't see my order on my Tesla account which I understand is normal due to ordering from a lease company (and according to the message from Tesla). Got...
