My 2022 M3 returned after body repair with the drivers seat set by (presumably) the last person the car using the key card. Now the seat always resets itself before and after I use the car... obviously I reset the seat for me, and saved the settings on the screen when prompted. But still the...

Thanks! Sounds like the place

Our M3LR 2022 needs body repair, it will have to be insurance - damage to rear door skin and quarter panel. Churchill insurance. The online claim first specified a local Vauxhall dealership but then got back to me saying they can't do it (which I confirmed with them) they suggested a local...

I have 7kW solar PV, Tesla PW2 and a 2022 M3LR doing 10k miles PA. I was on Octopus flexible from Oct 22- September 23 which worked well with the 15p export rate. I'm now on dumb Octopus GO and rarely use any grid outside the 4 hours cheap rate. Any export at this time of year is rare, but still...

Indeed, but https://octopus.energy/press/octopus-energy-increases-export-rates-for-octopus-go-customers/ It will be a nice thing to have, as it more or less matches the night rate of 9p/unit. So even if I fully charge the Powerwall and EV at night, if it's sunny next day, I get back what I put in.

Has anyone with (unintelligent) Octopus Go and solar PV managed to sign up to their Outgoing Fixed Lite tariff? It was announced over a month ago, and I've asked Octopus to put me on it twice, but so far I'm stuck with SEG at 4.5p/unit. Outgoing Fixed Lite is 8p/unit

I'm mystified by my 2022 M3LR updates. The car says it's up to date, but the version on the car screen is 2022.44.30. And for several days the (iOS) app has been showing Update downloading 2023.2.12, but it's been stuck at 64% for days. The last time I definitely installed an update was...

You've done better than me then! PW ordered in mid January 22, originally due in September, repeated delays, delivery now Feb 23!

Started hearing a couple of metallic clicks coming from the RHS, possibly rear wheel when on full lock left turn. Anyone? 2022 M3 LR 6k miles

Sentry Mode operating at home in the garage - 18 events overnight. Never happened before, Sentry disabled at home (in the car menu) Battery drain. Trips showed 8kWh used in 45 miles (3 short trips), but in the same 48 hour period (just after updating the software) the battery dropped from 60%...

Thanks yes might well be similar...

M3 is a quiet car so any rattles are annoying. After 2 months 2.5k miles I notice a quiet but persistent rattle/chatter from the drivers side door trim. It stops if I apply slight pressure to the trim. I've raised a home service visit as it seems to be getting worse, anyone else had this? I'm...

Thanks! Very helpful! I'm probably guilty of over-thinking it

No, not worried about cabin temperature at this time of year, I suppose my question is really, do I use less battery energy on a short trip if the battery is pre-conditioned?

Happy new owner of LR M3. Looking for ideas about setting a schedule to pre-condition for short trips, we work from home and often only use the car once a day for 5-10 miles, different times of day. Apart from the somewhat inconvenience of setting a schedule and then remembering to cancel it...

So the delivery happened yesterday, 24 hours later than expected after the e-signature cock-up. Much nicer day for it anyway! My white M3 LR had 38% charge, no obvious faults, drives beautifully. It's been 4 months since my expensive test drive (expensive in that I bought the car) and my...

And many cars (BMW) have different sizes front and rear so rotating not an option. Agree that front wear is mostly tracking related and even if tracking is good there’s often more wear on the outside of the front.

I can't tell you how dispiriting it was to drive back through the rain without collecting the car... The foul-up was in the electronic signature, for some reason it produced an error, which they failed to notice until I was about to leave to collect... their email said they would re-send...

Delivery Day! Except it isn't! So everything was going so well, set delivery for today at Bristol at 1200. 1/2 hour before setting out I get an email from company called Smartsign, they run the e-signature thing for Tesla finance. "We have experienced an error with the signature..." (which...

Ah - I see, it comes off the amount financed, not the cash down payment

How does Tesla manage the £100 deposit? Their invoice shows the deposit as a payment, but it isn't credited against the total to be paid before delivery... Do they refund it or what?

I got a good quote from Churchill via Comparethemeerkat - £402 including protected NCB, and that’s for a LR. But then I’m an old dude and the M3 will live in a centrally heated locked garage in deep countryside. Still twice what the BMW cost though

It's in the App store Looks as though it requires a subscription payment after the 7 day free demo?

No, I withdrew it

Delivery team updated my account so that I can make payments. I had to ask though!

I paid £10 this afternoon, now showing in my account (only just checked probably there earlier). Also got an email from Delivery team almost immediately confirming receipt, probably only because I replied to their email, saying I sent it.

Have had radio silence since choosing delivery slot for Bristol 16th March despite emailing last week to say I no longer want to trade in. Emailed Delivery team again today and got a quick response, registration and VIN confirmed by text (same as VIN in source for last 2 weeks) and an email from...

I was quoted a lead time off May when I ordered a PW in January. When asked about PW3 rumours the response was ‘they can’t make enough PW2 to meet demand, PW3 is vapourware’

I think Tesla trade in requires a minimum of 1 month on the MOT. It’s in the trade in T&Cs

Looks as if they sent out the Bristol delivery slots this evening, I just booked my M3 delivery for the 16th. Good luck!

There is a rather effective extension (3rd party) for Chrome browser which pops up when you load the ‘Manage’ page to tell you that the VIN in source is there. You have to download and install the extension, sorry I don’t remember where to get it but Google is your friend (allegedly) (Edited to...

Delivery appointment received M3 LR white/black 18” ordered 21/11 VIN in source for mid Feb then I placed on hold for March delivery Delivery appointment (3 day window offered) 16th March Bristol (seems to be a car park on the edge of Avonmouth Industrial estate) It’s been a long wait, but...

I've used these a couple of times. It doesn't ruin the tyre, or mess with the pressure indicator. If the puncture can be repaired, it can be repaired regardless of the aerosol.

I think there's a YT video about this, possibly one of Mark Brown's. Verdict is, yes it works fine.

Thanks! Helpful ideas. Of course Octopus Go rate for new customers is currently 31.7/7.5, making it less attractive still. I presume it will go further north of these figures in April. It’s an attractive thought to be charging my new Tesla M3 completely free (at least in summer) but...

Same here, yesterday got EDD 21-31 March, no VIN, today 11-25th March with VIN in source. Where is your collection?

Very interesting thread which I’m reading along with several other threads which seem to suggest that running a PW in the U.K. Is quite far from the hands-off experience Tesla seem to be espousing! I’m about to trigger a solar PV and PW installation, and take delivery of a M3 LR so it’s a new...

I think we’re on the same ship! Whatever it is… I have 21-31 March at Bristol (updated this afternoon)

What delivery location John? And spec?

Today my EDD changed from March 2022 to 21-31 March. White LR Aeros. Ordered 21/11, original EDD early Feb (with VIN in source) but put on hold for March delivery to Bristol. I assume this means it's at sea now? Probably the last Q1 ship? When is the VIN in source likely to appear? Thanks

I have the VIN in source, how do I find out which ship is on?

Thanks, but I think 3JY is Freemont, not China. LRW is the one.

Thanks! That worked, VIN in source now LRW3F7EK2NC****** Order page is still saying Estimated Delivery 2nd-16th February, but I really want delivery after 1st March. I'll call the Delivery team at some point but better to wait till they text me an actual delivery date?? Apparently they will...

For some reason I can't see a search function when viewing source code in Safari, at least not one which works. Using Chrome, I get a few lines returned from searching LRW but nothing which looks like a VIN. Does that mean it hasn't been allocated yet?

My Tesla account changed today from ‘delivery due from March 1st’ to ‘delivery between February 2 - February 16’ Can’t see a VIN. Trouble is, I don’t WANT delivery before 1st March for registration reasons. I last spoke to sales a couple of weeks ago, my order was on hold to March, I...

Can anyone offer insight into how the Delivery On Hold system works please? My order for a very stock M3LR ordered late Nov is marked 'Your delivery is on hold to March 1st' There's a button marked I'm Ready. Ideally I would like delivery on or very soon after 1st March - should I hit the...

Can anyone advise about juggling an order On Hold please? I ordered a M3 LR, very standard spec on 26th November, given a March delivery date. In fact, the ideal date for me would be 1st March for trade in and new plate reasons. SR has put my delivery On Hold to March. So my question is, when...
