I checked the energy app and it said I’d used 0.5% less energy on the way back. Admittedly I didn’t check on the way out. And no, there was only 30 minutes between journeys so the weather was more or less the same

Because it might help explain higher consumption vs lower consumption!! For example. I’ve just been on a 4 mile trip. Outbound 200 w per mile. The trip back was just over 300 w per mile. How does that work???? Same route both ways, minimal traffic and elevation. In fact I was using chill mode...

But that’s the thing isn’t it. On an ICE you could see the temperature of the oil to know when your car is running more efficiently. On a Tesla it’s just a case of it will warm up in time, but how much time, I know it depends on the weather etc, but it would be good to know what the current...

Preconditioning sucks the life out of my battery. Why don’t Tesla show battery temp?

When I had a car with an engine, you would know that fuel economy would improve in line with oil and water temp. You could also monitor the temps on the dashboard. In my M3 LR, the early part of my journey tends to be really high kW/mile which levels out over time, I’m assuming this is as the...

Yeah thanks tried this and it worked. I never take my key card out either so just a little bit worrying!!

Never had any problems with the Tesla app until now, for no discernible reason, the app doesn’t bother locking the car when I walk away or opening the car when I’m next to it. No recent software updates on car or iPhone 13 How easy is this to fix? Is it the old reset everything and hope for...

After being quoted minimums of £1300 to £1500 Co-op essentials came in at just over £800 via comparison website money supermarket. I’ve snapped their hand off. And apparently there’s no additional charge and I don’t need to declare if I upgrade to acceleration boost at any time!!! Madness. But...

Anyone looked at amending the valuation of the car? I valued mine at £35k but when I ran the numbers through a comparison site it valued the car at £22k and gave a quote of £850. When I adjusted the value up to £35k my quote came back at £1,200 (although from a different insurance provider)...

Tried various avenues but admiral are the least expensive of the better known insurers. Thinking of upping the excess to bring cost down and then using excess protection insurance. Any recommendations?

I was with direct line, paid £950 last year but have been quoted over £1,550 this year. Just got off the phone to them and they have no room to manoeuvre. I’ve had a quote from admiral for £1,330 - does anyone know if this is negotiable? Good job I’m saving a fortune on ‘fuel’ although my...

Mine seems to be bubbling slightly, near to where my left hand is (at 9 o’clock) Anyone else had this problem? Model 3 LR

Is that 200 miles one way or round trip? It makes a big difference if it’s each way!

2021 M3LR New update has lead to me losing autopilot which I think has been brought on due to the camera not currently seeing any vehicles (it just sees the lines on the road) Anyone else had the same? I’m in the middle of a camera calibration but not done enough miles yet to complete grr

I’m sure I’m getting 11kWh using the blue charger that came with the car from my 3 phase charger

Thanks, stupid question but will a 3 phase charger charge quicker using a 3 phase charge point, or is there little difference

That’s not a bad idea, I hadn’t thought of that. Is there a difference between a single phase and 3 phase charging cable? (I charge at a work using 3 phase)

Didn’t realise that, and yes I might do that!!

My boot tends to be full of football gear for the team i coach and the frunk isn't a great option as i set the charge up from the in car screen and won't have time to run round the frunk, open and close it and then make it to the charge point on the car in time before it closes which i just...

I almost exclusively use the charging cable as i don't have access to a tethered charger I leave the cable in the boot but am a tiny bit concerned that during the winter it'll be covered in dirt and probably wet when i come to put it back into the boot after charging. Just wondering if anyone...

Also may have similar although it is intermittent. I can feel a light click coming from under the accelerator when setting off from a standstill, but only every now and then. Only experienced it the last few days, after the software update to whatever the latest one is. Issue or non issue?

I’m wondering at what point should you click on the camera to save a clip? At the time you see an incident or is it worth waiting maybe 30 seconds?

Any recommendations for rear doors and rear window tinting in north Manchester preferably? I spoke to one in Rochdale but he won't do the rear window (and for valid reasons apparently) although i know it can be done

Anyone in North Manchester? Also someone who can do the rear window too is possible

Yeah. Pretty useless 👍

Not on this thread at least!! Of course there’s an answer. Scientifically, in equal conditions, on say a model 3 2021 version, the impact of non drive related power being consumed on like for like cars in like for like conditions, must be measurable. I’d bet Tesla know the answer, and I’d...

Ok, i've been wondering this for a while and not found the answer... Assuming all things being equal, driving on a flat road, minimal wind, constant speed etc etc what is the impact on a kW from using air con cold, heaters, heated seats, lights etc ie if 1kW is 100% Does anyone know what the...

I did this recently. Had to send a few photos to Tesla to prove it was mine and the car was added to the app within about 12 hours, overnight I seem to remember. No dramas

So 89% is as fine as 80% or am I reading it wrong?

I charge my M3LR every few days up to 80%, I reckon I would push this out a day or so on average if there was slightly more range as I don’t like to let it go below 30% in case I need to do more miles than expected in a day. My charger is at work so weekday charging normally. Just reading on...

Thanks - what about the ryzen upgrade? Could I find this out from the vin?

Thanks so much, this is very comprehensive :) Didn’t realise the USB was blank Also, daft error I know it doesn’t come with a wall charger - I meant cable! But thanks for saying it should come with a basic one, I’ll probably need that till I get a wall charger installed. I’ll get a VIN too to...

Is there a tick list or something to guide me through buying a nearly new model 3? For example - is there a VIN or something that will tell me what the spec is and if there are any upgrades. Does it come with anything else? I’ve read about a USB - where should this be and what’s on it...

Cheers. Looking at a December one

Just to clarify, I was wondering if there are any new hardware improvements expected imminently that I might regret not getting if I get a car that’s a few months old?

I’m obsessing over a model 3. From a time and part ex point of view, I’m looking for a low mileage, LR with less than 5k miles for which I’ll probably pay a few k below list price which im happy with. If I end up with a November 2021 model for example, is there anything that I’ll lose out on...
