Ditto and my thinking is eventually Tesla will release an update that sorts them out so they won’t be this annoying forever.

@PITA I wouldn’t be smug if so many people didn’t hate Teslas/Model 3 for no good reason. Hadn’t happened to me either in 23 years of driving but turns out it’s a 1 in 10,000 failure no matter the car manufacturer. Replace “tit” with “it” and “it” being the Tesla. Then it hopefully makes...

The preconditioning, especially on days like today is one of its best indirect features. Getting to the car at 5:30am with -4c outside and the heating steering wheel, seat/cabin all toasty, windows clear, is almost priceless.

Some infrequent boot/rear seat rattles but I very rarely notice them. Seatbelt pillars were rattling ever so slightly but got Tesla to sort out so I don’t notice those anymore. Taking that I’ve driven the car without too much care (not rough handled) but not bubble wrapped. If I have it a good...

Why I love the car. And £1.5k for an extra .5 second at those figures is far better value than any ice car upgrade to get that increase.

Ok, almost 12 months in and this is a general comment and question post. I’m sure there are many. Almost everyone I know who knows I have a Tesla have been asking me about the recent price drops and if I’m worried and my simple answer is no, I’m still a smug git. I commute into central London...

In my 2022 M3 LR I can get sub 4 seconds (3.96 is the fastest) for 0-60mph on the flat (going both ways) using a RaceBox. I’ve been thinking about the acceleration boost for a year now, still can’t justify it (yet).

Happened to me during a wash on the front bumper last month. I’ve got tesla to sort next week under warranty. Tesla paint really is of the lowest quality.

It might be the wheel nuts… this exact thing (sounds very similar) happened to me on full steering lock. I contacted Tesla and they came out and removed and cleaned the front wheel nuts. They said it’s due to the grease they use on the lugs/nuts from the factory. Once they were cleaned up, the...

The incorrect display was for 5 months since I got the car ;) but yes, I think it has now corrected itself. Current software version is 2022.20.8

I think the on max screen range and exceeding that range are two different things. The above photo shows that at 80% charge (what it was set to), if it was set to 90% then the range would have been 334, not 301. Which did make it 376. I think you're guess is right though, a recent update (the...

In regards to showing 376 as it did all I have is a video screenshot attached of the charge limit set to 80% and the car stating that would be 301 miles. If you then do the math, that’s 376 at 100%. Sadly I don’t have any photos of the 376 max range because I never thought I would need it.

Because if the max range is 354 and I know I can get 220 wh/m without too much effort I know I will be able to to get that range. 220 wh/m is just over 4.5 miles per kWh. From my rough math and how the car predicts range, max range is worked out at about 4.2 miles per kwh. So if I can get more...

I’m Exactly, that's been my point from the start. :) My concern is when I come to sell the vehicle and the "max range" is lower than it "should" be to comparable vehicles. Hence why I've been asking what fellow UK 2022 M3LR drivers/owners see as there max range. I get an overnight tariff...

Suffolk to Portsmouth stuck In lots of traffic.

Thanks but that’s my point. The max range doesn’t fluctuate based on weather, temperature and is without programming in a route. It just dropped from 374 to 354(ish) a month ago. I get that when programming a route then the route range is variable based on the above conditions.

Yes, it was the weather range update (even though the max range doesn’t change in different weather conditions). I’m just wondering if that has happened to other people and what their max range now shows on their 2022 M3LR?

I can/do though if I want to get good range out of it. I got over 417 miles to a single charge 2 weeks ago, going down to 2% battery, I don’t like going that low but the nearest supercharger would have given me a 30 mile detour to my route.

Hi. Is that a month ago it stated 374 max range and then overnight it changed to 352-354. I very rarely supercharge, I keep the battery at 60-80%, I don’t charge immediately after driving. I do all the “good” things to keep the battery calibrated. I have a total average watts per mile of 249...

Hi. Thanks. I’m getting more than 354 miles that isn’t my concern. My concern is that the car at any charge percentage (calculated up) or weather conditions states that the max range is now 354 down from 374. So if I come to sell the vehicle anyone will look at that and think that it’s lost...

Thanks. I thought I posted in the uk sub forum. Can a moderator move the message? My concern is why in the past month the max range has dropped.

Hi, I’ve read through a few threads but can’t find the exact scenario. Basically about 3-4 weeks about my max range dropped from 374 to 354. I’ve check the tyre settings and they are correct (18in aero). I’ve getting good/consistent miles per kWh at about 4.5 - 5. I just can’t explain why the...

Update: Tesla have agreed to cover under warranty, luckily I took the picture which showed no impact on the glass. So the tint really did help, otherwise I could not have proven no impact (apart from the car cameras).

To be honest, I've flipped this on it's head with Telsa, if the window wasn't tinted the glass would have exploded both in and out of the cabin, so I'm lucky that it was tinted. Taking this happens on non-tinted windows, they couldn't use that as a cause.

That's still a manufacturing defect though, no matter how rare. Under UK law, I know I'm covered. This is a materials failure under the expected life span of the product/material. I'm protected by UK consumer laws, regardless of actual warranties etc... Tesla USA do cover this issue under...

Thanks. I've got it booked it for a "service" tomorrow and I'm waiting for Tesla to call me back today (they probably won't), but I'll call them to get it sorted. I can't see how this wouldn't be a warranty issue as it's simply a manufacturing defect. I'm pretty good at pushing this type of...

Hi, I know there are some posts already in the Model Y and X and all in the USA, but I can't find anything for a Model 3 in the UK (New as of Feb 2022). On my way home tonight I was stationary in traffic and when pulling away slowly at about 3mph my rear passenger window completely shattered...

Thanks. I thought it looked a bit off.

Fresh Ceramic coating with black badges.

I would say yes, I got the Spigen screen protector, really easy to install and works really well. It was the first thing I did when I got there car. I've brought the car not leased so I want to do everything I can to keep it going for longer. :)

Acceleration boost update: the App says its 4.4s to 3.9s so the 2022 LR are 0.2 slower, still £1,500

found it, it's in the audio settings where you can choose the sources displayed. more notes: Heating steering wheel takes about 3 seconds to warm up, the seats not much longer, the car has the "heated wipers". Navigate on auto piliot is creepy as sin. Sound system immersive sound is fantastic...

I know not the right board, but where is Spotify in the menu in the latest update. I can't find it, just radio and Tidal. I think I'm being dumb. p.s. The Spigen screen protector is great, floor mats were included (nice ones) and the door pockets have rubber removable bottoms.

I managed to move a meeting but now the car is updating. So I need to wait 20 minutes. arghhhh

I'm planning on light window tints, and I'm going to live with the Aero caps for now, but if I take them off I think I'm going to get the alloys painted black (from the grey). Got it booked in for a ceramic coating in a couple of weeks. :) I was going to de-dedge it but I don't mind the silver T.

It's next doors chimney and arial. ;)

Haven't fully checked over as have meetings for the next couple of hours. Delivery driver took it off the trailer round the corner then drove it round. All looks fine so far, no panel gaps (even on the passenger side boot). Connected to wifi no problem, updated now.

I plan to, I'll be taking a full video when it's on the trailer, especially underneath.

T-60 minutes for delivery. Seriously, I'll cover their speeding tickets!

I believe that's called "first world problems". ;)

I'm planning on putting my phone on a 10ft pole out the window to make sure I get good signal!

Waiting 3 more weeks would easily take at least 6 months off my life. So I'm happy to take delivery of a 71 plate :)

I never got your car is on its way text. Just licence plate and vin 2 weeks ago and delivery confirmed about 20 minutes after I kicked off. Tesla definitely aren’t proactive. Everyone seems to get a slightly different experience.

I was due to collect tomorrow but I kicked off on Monday because it was going to take me almost 5 hours in train journeys and they were faffing about (telling me different things on every call) about the chauffeur service. So they arranged a delivery for tomorrow instead.

I've just got an email from Tesla saying that my delivery will be at 7am tomorrow. Just wondering if that's an actual time or is that what they say for all deliveries that day and it could be any time in the day?

Right click (two fingers) when you are in the browser then go to "View page source". Your browser should then load up a new tab, then press "command + F" then type in VIN. It should narrow down for you.

Isn't it 16v Lion battery? (not that it makes a difference) :)

Yup, that's what I thought. :)

Collection/Delivery Update: I've been trying to get Tesla to sort out a collection/chauffeur service and I wasn't getting anywhere. So instead they are going to delivery the car to me on a flatbed (free of charge) on Thursday 10th which was my collection day anyway. A little bit strange as I...

I've been speaking with Telsa over the past week or so to sort out a pickup/chauffeur collection, as I'm 75 miles from Bluewater (closest collection point and was given no choices on collection location either way). It's either a 75 minute drive or 4 hours on the train. They have offered a...
