    Tessie off peak defrosting

    I appreciate that in July I’m thinking ahead somewhat… 😂 … But, I’ve just noticed that the latest version of Tessie has automation options to do various things. I think defrosting the Model 3 in winter normally will be annoying because if the car is plugged in it will pull the charge needed to...

    I hate my Tesla! Don’t buy one!

    Fooled you! I love my Tesla Model 3 LR! Took a trip in it yesterday, and now that I have Enhanced Autopilot - which I think makes the driver assistance aids work better, which has eased concerns I had about those systems in another thread recently - it really struck me just how brilliant this...

    The thing I thought I’d like the most about my Model 3 is the thing I like the least

    I know I’m going to catch some flak for this thread whatever I do, so I will try to head off at least some of it by saying up front that I still love my Model 3 overall, think it’s better than other EVs available at the same price point for a variety of reasons, and I have no intention of...

    Too picky on collection day?

    Having read all about the need to perform inspections on new Teslas when you collect, I went over my Model 3 with a fine tooth comb on collection day. I found two things that I reported to the chap, and he showed me to take pictures and book them in for repair on the app. One is a scratch on the...

    New M3 LR owner - what has surprised me so far

    Thought I'd post some impressions of my first week and a bit of Tesla M3 LR ownership, particularly some of the things I've been surprised by. This will include both good surprises and not so good surprises. Therefore, I want to give the bottom line up front - I bloomin' love this car!! 😍 I know...

    Some Tidal interface questions

    Ok, break this to me gently as I feel a blood pressure increasing rant about the idiocy of user interface engineers coming on... But, is there any way in Tidal to list your favourite artists in alphabetical order? Also, is there any way to tell it to repeat an album rather than just playing...

    How dangerous to leave house with only phone key?

    Now that I have my Model 3 a thought occurred to me yesterday... I don't always carry my wallet when I leave my house. I have an Apple Watch and iPhone, and I'm so used to using ApplePay to do contactless payments when I'm out and about that I've got out of the habit of bringing my wallet with...

    Another n00b question - idle fees

    Another thing I can't quite figure out from videos/reading things is Supercharger idle fees. It looks like it charges you for every minute you're plugged in past your charge limit? Now, being a good citizen and courteous to my fellow EV drivers, I would never deliberately plug in for longer...

    n00b navigation question

    Like most of my posts so far, this one can probably be filed away under "sigh... just wait until you get the car! All will become clear!" so apologies for being annoying 😁 The good news is I'm only a week away from collection my Model 3 LR now, so these questions from me should end soon 🤣 But...

    How private is roof glass for camping?

    I've got a Model 3 on order that I'm picking up in a couple of weeks, and intending to try camping mode in it. I have the Tesmat Privacy Screen on order (I hope! They took my money for it 2 weeks ago, but it still doesn't seem to have been dispatched... 🤔) which should stop people looking in the...

    Autopilot - do you use in frequent lane change conditions?

    Collecting my Tesla M3 LR on the 11th, which will be my first Tesla. I'm trying to weigh up whether I should pay for Enhanced Autopilot after collection or not. I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos, and read a lot of threads, and it seems that most people in the UK think it isn't worth the...

    Pre-heat from battery when plugged in?

    Just wondering if anyone knows whether there's any way when the car pre-heats the cabin to tell it to pull the power from the battery rather than the wall when it is plugged in? Or maybe it already does this? I don't have my Model 3 yet but I know on my old ID.3, if I turned on the cabin heating...

    Tesla buying money guilt :-(

    Just wondering how many of you out there are buying Teslas on normal incomes and do you feel guilty about it? I keep going back and forth between excitement at getting a Model 3 LR, and guilt/worry about it being a stupid financial decision. My personal situation is that I'm a higher rate...

    New Model 3 LR on order - some questions! [about model 3 in UK]

    Hi all! Just signed up as I literally just placed my order for a Model 3 Long Range in the UK last week. Since then I've been watching YouTube videos and reading forum threads and am confused about a few things. Thought I'd double check with the experts. Does a Model 3 ordered in the UK at the...
