    Tesla UK Tyre order lead time?

    That's very kind of you thank you! I unfortunately don't think I can get to Addlestone. The wheel went fully flat in a short time so I think the puncture is fairly big, not sure how far I'll be able to drive far even with the Tyre repair kit. Agh why doesn't tesla keep any in stock? That seems...

    Tesla UK Tyre order lead time?

    I assume I'm going to need to replace the TPMS sensor too if I use the tyre repair kit. Currently the car is sitting with the flat outside my office. Debating whether to use the tyre repair kit to drive to the service centre (or third party) or call roadside assistance and avoid the extra £70...

    2024 Insurance Costs

    My previous year was £1700 through DirectLine. This year they wanted £3000! When asking why the massive increase they said it was because I'd had a claim, which was for a chipped windshield and shouldn't affect NCD or premiums as I understood it but seemingly DirectLine felt otherwise. Swapped...

    Tesla UK Tyre order lead time?

    I'm just a bit nervous to go third party because of some of the horror stories of others damaging teslas and ignoring requests to use the pucks etc. Winchester area

    Tesla UK Tyre order lead time?

    So my car has a flat, I've booked a tyre replacement with the service centre and they've just told me that the tyre is on order and they'll let me know when it arrives. Firstly it's a bit crazy that they don't keep any tyres in stock. I've got the regular M3 wheels, so no idea why they don't...

    Have you lost faith in Tesla?

    I still think the vehicle itself is fantastic. Love autopilot, the performance, features etc. But by god the service is appalling and they keep making some stupid decisions. My car has been in for service FIFTEEN TIMES to try to fix some major rattles and they've been unable to do so. Tesla has...

    Rear seat rattle - How to fix?

    Nope not fixed unfortunately. Has been in for service and attempted a fix three times. They've put various padding in which has reduced the rattle volume somewhat but not actually fixed it.

    How to deal with a service nightmare?

    Unfortunately Tesla service is seemingly an absolute nightmare most of the time. I got my M3LR in February (UK). And it's been in for service NINE times so far, each time with issues remaining unfixed, and almost every time it's gone in, a new issue has also been created. Just picked up my car...

    Tidal app disappeared?

    So I've not updated my car recently, and I've been using the Tidal app without issue since the last update (I'm on 2022.12.3.3, M3LR in the UK), but a few days ago I noticed that the Tidal app was gone. Opening audio sources shows no sign of Tidal either, and even after a reboot I've had no...

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Has there been any news about either the Fleet Southbound superchargers or the 2nd half of the Northbound superchargers? Feels like they've had the stalls there for a couple years and literally nothing has happened

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Has Fleet South been reconfirmed? As far as I know it was cancelled in the end which is a shame. Not sure if there's been a 180 on that. Fleet North has an additional few stalls currently covered up that should hopefully come online at somepoint, but it doesn't really help those going north as...

    Rattle - Rear seat (driver side)

    How were you able to secure it in the end? I have the same issue but not really sure how to address it

    Rear seat rattle - How to fix?

    Yep it's just a case of how to get it open :P I'm thinking I might just have the service centre do it to be honest. It's only 30 min away and should be a quick job

    Qobuz anyone?

    Not sure there are really any ways to do this unfortunately. Would be awesome to include Qobuz given that TIDAL has been added already. Screw it, Roon support when? :P

    Rear seat rattle - How to fix?

    Update: I've found the source of the rattle. Not entirely sure how to fix it though. It's being caused by a plastic plate of sorts on the back of the seat being loose. Now that the source has been found the easiest option is probably to take it to a service centre and tell them. Not entirely...

    Rear seat rattle - How to fix?

    So I have a UK (MIC) Model 3. I have a pretty irritating rattle sound from the rear left of the car and cannot for the life of me work out what might be causing it. Video is here: I do not think it's the leather as it sounds like a plastic tapping of sorts. It's not massively loud but the...

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Adding superchargers to the Reading service centre seems an odd choice. There are already two other supercharging stations in reading with 20 stalls. I guess maybe they're just wanting to have superchargers available at all their service centres? To be honest the one place I'd really like to...

    My Awful Model 3 Service Experience

    So I took the car in to the service centre yesterday and they fixed the dashboard alignment fairly swiftly. Unfortunately the clicking/rattle that occasionally is heard from the front left of the car is still present. Aaaaand I just noticed today that my heated steering wheel is no longer...

    My Awful Model 3 Service Experience

    Unfortunately there is no way to communicate with the service centre other than via SMS here. And they usually take a couple hours to respond. Not sure if it's different in the US. I'm hoping that everything will be sorted soon. The car itself as said is brilliant and I hope that once the...

    My Awful Model 3 Service Experience

    So this may be something of a rant post but also, I'm just honestly not sure what to do at this point. I ordered my model 3 in Dec, and picked it up in Feb. I absolutely love the car itself. Everything from the performance to the autopilot is brilliant and I couldn't see myself going back to a...

    Wind Noise - Front Trim pieces loose and wipers not parking correctly

    Unfortunately they only finished it just before end of day Friday. So by the time I got there the service centre was closed and wouldn't open til Monday. They've said I can take it in today and they'll sort it. I've also since noticed that during my HVAC replacement they mounted the steering...

    Wind Noise - Front Trim pieces loose and wipers not parking correctly

    Also turns out I can't even book a service because the previous one is still showing despite the fact that it's finished and paid for....great. guess I'll have to sit on hold for 30 mins to get that sorted first too

    Wind Noise - Front Trim pieces loose and wipers not parking correctly

    Well I tried to realign the wipers myself today. Jesus Christ I don't know what they've done but it simply will not come off. Got the nut undone and the service manual says that's all you need to do to remove it but I can't pull any harder without risking breaking something I don't think...

    Wind Noise - Front Trim pieces loose and wipers not parking correctly

    I will. But I want to know what other people's are like. The windshield wiper is an easy fix and I'd much rather do it myself than wait a week to get a service appointment. The trim part I'll take it back but is less urgent I think

    Wind Noise - Front Trim pieces loose and wipers not parking correctly

    So I just had my windshield replaced by Tesla. The new windshield looks good, aligned nicely etc. But once I drove it away I immediately noticed two things. 1) Wind noise was drastically higher than before 2) The wipers are not parking correctly. With one seemingly being too high. The wipers...

    How do I force download/clear downloads from Tidal?

    So I hit 'download' on a couple albums in Tidal, and one downloaded fine, but the others a couple songs downloaded and then nothing further. I've had the car a few months and still only a handful of songs from these albums have downloaded. I've connected to wifi overnight, hard reset etc, tried...

    Can't select 32A charging? Limited to 16A [max charging speed in UK on L2?]

    I have a model 3 I got in Feb this year. (UK) And I've noticed that on any '22kw' charger Such as the ones at BP pulse or MER here in England, I can only ever get 12kw and my app shows 16A as the max charging speed. I can charge faster with CCS DC fast chargers where I get the full 50kw, and...

    Acceleration boost upgrade, no software update needed?

    My car basically rebooted instantly upon purchase whilst on cellular. Seems it doesn't need an actual 'update', it just changes something then full-resets the car. Once it's back up you're good to go

    New windscreen fitted - Model 3.

    For those wondering, it seems that the cost of getting the windshield replaced by Tesla on the M3 is £865. This is including a fee for calibration which was included in the invoice (which seems to confirm that the car DOES require manual calibration after a windshield replacement)

    New windscreen fitted - Model 3.

    Autoglass technician just came and confirmed they cannot perform a chip repair. Windshield needs replacing. Neither Tesla nor Autoglass can give me any estimate on when I may be able to have the work done at the moment :(

    New windscreen fitted - Model 3.

    So I've had my M3LR for a couple weeks and got a small chip the other day.... Have had a bit of a tough time working out whether autoglass can/can't do a chip repair. Seems they can so they're coming tonight but I did learn some stuff in the meantime: 1) Directline said that they are aware of...

    UK PWS

    Anyone here able to post a quick video of what the forward PWS sounds like? The rear one is completely audible but I'm not sure what the forward one sounds like and am wondering if the motor whine (which I currently have a service appointment booked for) is actually just the PWS. Problem is...

    Using Optiwatt

    I'm mostly interested in this app for the preconditioning option. Currently tesla's own app allows 7-days or weekdays, nothing else. Whereas optiwatt is much more configurable. Anyone given this a go?

    Spotify bitrate?

    So I just wanted to check if anyone knows whether the spotify bitrate has been increased yet or not? I have both Tidal and Spotify, but due to how I manage my music at home I'd prefer to not use Tidal in the car and just use Spotify. But I'm aware that in the past it had been on 96kbps even if...

    Model 3 Motor whine / whirr / sound

    It definitely seems to be coming more from the rear but could be both. Hard to tell as cabin acoustics make it a bit tricky. I think it MIGHT be due to colder weather though. A few people on the tesla discord said that the car can have louder motor noise when cold so I'll see what it's like...

    Model 3 Motor whine / whirr / sound

    Insurance

    I'm 23 so my experience is likely going to be fairly different as insurers seemingly just assume you are GOING to crash the car... But for me Directline was a good 30% cheaper than everyone else and sometimes even more. I've been with Admiral for 4 years but they couldn't give me a quote...
