£600 though....

it's good advice, but what choice do I have? we will want to explore further afield and that entails moving the bikes with a car.. We're more recreational bikers than hardcore MTB trail riders and I really don't want two expensive bikes falling off on the motorway, bending the chassis mounts and...

that's interesting about the shim. the link you've given is out of stock so I'll try to keep an eye open. I think my answer is to use the bike rack for my eMTB and my daughters normal MTB, and then get a tesla roof rack and an INNO2 tyre hold for my wife's eMTB. That roof bike rack can take up...

yeah, the UK online manual doesn't have that table at all...

That sticker I showed is from the front passenger door opening panel. There was another sticker next to it with yellow bars on it but that just shows the seating capacity and tyre size and pressure.

where are you reading that? I'm looking at what I think is the UK Model 3 manual which seems to say "look at the statutory plate and do the maths... This is my plate from a 22 model year (but 21 plated) M3 LR: as I read it, the top weight is the "TPMLM - Technically Permissible Maximum Laden...

that's insane.. if I'm reading the figures correctly, 2 average weight UK men (85kgs) and 3 average weight UK women (72kgs) would blow the weight limit alone, never mind luggage! really starting to wish I'd been able to buy a Rivian when I bought this!

actually, let me ask that question more formally, what roof bike mount would people recommend? I've been doing some looking and almost all of the bike racks I can see are rated for 18 or 20kgs. my Ebike is 26kgs.. even taking the battery out and it's still overweight... I mean I supposed it's...

well, if I want to move three bikes then I'm not going to have much choice I suppose. I think my existing rack with my wife's Ebike and my daughter's normal bike, and then my bike on the roof and I'll just have to have some little steps. Taking the battery out will help a bit, but with my bike...

I've never used roof bars before, are they something that you fit once and then leave, or add and remove as need be? sounds like I might need to hit the gym to be able to lift 2 eMTB's onto the roof :) and get some small stepladders :) are the bikes really steady up there? i.e. so I don't need...

All this is making me feel that I don't have a good solution for how to transport 2 bikes (and maybe a normal bike) with my model 3... Perhaps I was spoiled by the disco :) it was too tall for me to get into the work multi-storey carpark however so one way or another, it had to go...

perhaps I was spoilt but I'd not realised that the nose weight was going to be an issue. I can remove the battery on mine (though not remove the key when the battery is out) but the battery on my wife's proposed bike is integral. how do you remove the plastic panel and insert the tow hook in...

I've got a MY22 model 3 LR which has the factory towbar fitted. I ordered the towbar because I had a 3 bike Thule towbar fitted bike carrier that I previously used with my old discovery 4 years ago before I sold it. However when I got the M3 I found that the nose weight on the towbar was...

I’m a newbie to tesla and I find the built-in saynav better than I expected it to be, however I still miss CarPlay and would prefer to use apple maps if it was available. I miss being able to share ETA with people for example. that said, I wonder if the requirement to use teslas own mapping...

yeah, I liked it too. I think these things can be 3D printed, I was just wondering if anyone had made it into a product yet :) That angle adaptgor is nice, shame they don't make one that also changes to 7 pin but hey, it's still better than just the bare adaptor pointing down at the ground.

There's a place near me that can do numberplates but thanks, and yes, it's totally my fault for not trying this before :) That adaptor looks perfectly functional, I was just worried that the cable would start to hang quite close to the ground. I was wondering if someone had made a custom affair...

So yesterday (Easter Sunday) I thought it would be nice to load the bikes on the bike rack on my 2022 M3 and go for a ride on a nearby promenade. So for the first time since I bought the car 2 months ago, I fit the towbar (and what a faff that was), and put on the bike rack on. It was at this...

I collected my Blue M3LR yesterday from the trafford centre and it had the towbar included. I've not tried using it yet so after a 30 explanation of it from the SA I've not looked at it further, but there you go :) I would say that the towbar is genuinely disappointing. I mean I'm sure it's...

Is there such a thing as an aerodynamic trailer? all small to medium ones that look like they'd fit behind a saloon car (as opposed to a landie, transit or truck) I've seen tend to look like cheap steel boxes on wheels.. I've got an M3LR coming mid Feb and I ordered it with a towbar, mostly to...

okay, so I used the live chat and asked what additional order time is added by ordering a towbar. he reckoned it would add a quarter so if I ordered now, I'd be looking at may/june. I explained that I had already ordered in Nov and that people on forums who ordered after me have their cars...

how long do you need to be there as I've left the page at the model 3 screen for an hour and no chat window has appeared...?

Where is live chat? I couldn't seem to see it on the tesla website..

Delayed to May? that would bne disappointing. When I ordered the site told me to expect my car in Feb so a three month delay where i have no car (on top of the three months sine I sold my car) would be very annoying. I emailed my advisor last week asking if he had any news about timelines and...

I ordered a Blue on black M3 LR with a towbar at the end of November and I still don't have any estimated delivery date on the website. it just continues to say "We are drafting up your contract and will contact you when you can make your final payment."... I'm a bit jealous of everyone else...

for me, neither of those things have ever had a due date.

really? I ordered a blue on black LR with 18's, EAP and a tow hitch on the 30th Nov and I've heard nothing yet...

Where do you see expected delivery? I ordered the same day and I'm not seeing proposed dates.

Honestly, I'm completely with you. for £1300 and esp on a tesla I'd really expect to see an electrically deployed tow hitch. the one you get feels like it could be an aftermarket one... and while the one in the vid may be slow, I'd much prefer that to lieing on the ground trying to fit the...
