    Regen braking reduced?

    Is it possible to post a short clip? That way people can see the issue. Have you gone back to Tesla for a test drive to compare? You could video the demo screen and your own and send both to - [email protected]

    Model 3 Service after 1 year...?

    Sorry don't know. It is sealed and long life, won't degrade as much as on an ICE car. I don't believe it is considered serviceable. Easiest way is ask Tesla via app.

    Are UK Owners less fussy? Or are we getting a better built product in the first place?

    Yes I agee, people say how reliable other makes are. Evidence says otherwise. One reason I bought a Model 3.👍

    Are UK Owners less fussy? Or are we getting a better built product in the first place?

    The Freemont built cars I avoid, I wouldn't consider an X or S until they are built elsewhere! My China 3 has not great build issues, quite a few design issues but not really build.

    30 hour wait for recovery. Lessons learnt.

    Sounds like Tesla Service is a failure yet again! I have had Warranty issues lately and I am unimpressed. Think I might get rid. Hope they fix it and don't damage it.

    Model 3 headlight water ingress.

    What issues have people experienced with Tesla Warranty? I had several months of increasing moisture in the headlights, it began running top to bottom leaving permanent visible marking. It got worse the further I drove. Tesla requested photo's, ordered new lights and booked mobile service. The...

    Model 3 body and paint protection concerns

    Hi - I am also interested in this. I have a 22 M3LR from Shanghai. The general build quality is good, with no real issues and much improved over previous gens. However the basic design flaws are the same. I had full frontal ppf, but this doesn't protect all edges. X4 large mud flaps. Full paint...

    Model 3 Service after 1 year...?

    The benefit of Tesla is very little to service. If you are competent lubricating the brakes is a quick afternoon job, I swapped tyres round at same time. If you do your research you will find all OEM ICE manufacturers have had massive engine reliability issues for years. Partially due to...

    Carbotech brake pad fitment issues on Model 3 Performance

    Not necessarily corrosion. My M3LR started after about 7k miles. First application of brakes after direction change results in loud metallic clack. Holding the brake and applying forward then reverse drive power results in similar. Seems to be pads moving. On stock pads, very very clean 2022...

    I can't say for certain, but suspect you are correct.

    Regen braking reduced?

    Yes, similar. Tech just said it was exactly the same as his car, no mention that it was completely different to how it used to be.

    Clunking noise from the rear of the car finally fixed!

    Hi - I just posted about a creaking sound from the rear. Mine was rear seat centre pivot. Push on back of rear seats from boot, see if creak is there. Can remove seats and grease pivots, might help.

    Figured as much, no idea why they would do this, it is now less predictable in town traffic. Thanks for confirming.

    Regen braking reduced?

    Service tech visited......told me cannot compare MYLR to M3LR because different vehicles, different motors and battery etc What a crock!! He decided regen was normal before driving, then confirmed normal. So regen is reduced, having to use brakes more, don't know if this is software change but...

    Regen braking reduced?

    I have a March 22 M3LR. A few months ago I started to notice reduced regen. I then damaged my rear bumper nudging something because the car did not stop as it should and used to. This is all the time, warm weather, low charge etc. Obviously set to hold!! Especially in car parks I lift of as I...

    Contacting Tesla service centre in UK

    Likewise, contact for me has been patchy. I have to book service through the app and the response is variable. I had a scratched windscreen from new, replaced. I've had connection issues since new. Periodically Spotify won't connect, the voice commands stop with message saying connection lost...

    Anyone have any VINs for the 2022 model 3 in the UK?

    Many thanks again. I am personally buying the car, not leasing etc. So spec even more important. Expecting structural packs and giga-castings on M3, but probably won't be this year. There is always something more in the pipeline!! 👍

    Anyone have any VINs for the 2022 model 3 in the UK?

    Great, good to know. Congratulations on your car. I assume you have the lithium auxillary battery? But probably not the sound proof rear glass? I am expecting my LR in March 😁

    Hi - just wondering if the report of Ryzen on your car was correct? I have been told similar for March delivery. 🤔
