You make some very valid points to be honest. Our Zoe is charged about every 2 weeks at home for its little journey's so why would I buy an M2? That's saved me a pretty penny, thanks! As regards lost their way, we are talking about planet America here so you're likely 100% correct again. That's...

Not being an "AI" kind of guy I switched off after 30 mins of listening to the livestream. Everything to me was predominantly focused on FSD and autonomy and all questions seemed to lead to the same answers about this. Don't think I'm on the same planet as these guys? Personnally don't want my...

I test drove the Highland on about the first UK day of release, Tesla were keen on getting me in for a drive (plus I also had the opportunity to raz an S Plaid!!) and then asking if I wanted to change? When doing the finance maths with Tesla trade-in and finance settlement having a £10k...

And USS 🤫

Quite the contrary, never mean to insult. Apologies if offended🙏 If the numbers work then go for it. Just simply for me, although I often spend money like water, £16k interest on an M3P versus about £4k on an MYP seems a tad unbalanced in addition to the respective vehicle base cost...

Unless they sort that 9.6% interest rate it’ll only be the fanboys who stump up the extra £16k in charges. Nice spec though👍 Be interested to hear some insurance quotes. Can’t imagine haemorrhaging more than I am currently 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just put a review of a test drive of the M3H in another thread. Not a deal breaker for me having no stalks. But each to their own. Cabin quality and comfort are an improvement. 9% interest on PCP isn’t!

Well, test drive complete. Both me and the wife had a short drive. Was a quick one as they had appointments booked end to end all day! First junction wife approached she instinctively went for the stalks but soon got use to it. Going around roundabouts wasn’t a problem as unless they’re really...

Just to reignite this thread,.. had a call from Tesla to confirm my M3 test drive on Saturday and was there anything else I wanted to test drive? Asked if they had an S Plaid (for a laugh) and they said yes, so that's booked also...🫣 Nice start to the weekend!

Yep, one of them slips straight on, the other is tricky but goes eventually. Don’t lose patience, takes a few minutes swearing that’s all. Can’t remember which. Once on never had an issue. Seen here with the all weather mats.

+1 for Tessories. Stock can be erratic but have all weather mats, split boot storage systems, performance pedal covers and a few other bits for both MY and M3. All good stuff which fits bang on. Have photos on here somewhere. Can add more if interested?

Wife has an MYLR as you can see from my sig. I don’t have an issue with the drive quality so no biggie for me. TBH I agree with you I’d be more tempted on a new Y myself than a new 3. Maybe wait and see what the new M3PH is like although even at my ripe old age and ‘safe’ postcode I think...

Got a call last weekend and a test drive booked for 11am Saturday 27th Jan in Stratford upon Avon. Will be interesting but no way I’m swapping my ‘22 unicorn edition M3 with every desired function before they started removing stuff, unless they were to wipe my finance slate clean and offer me a...

Some light-hearted input... Perfect solar curve today in mid-winter (red line) with the charge curve below it replenishing my battery until full with the latter light blue line the resulting export. Managed a whole 2.3kW export which almost pays back the overnight charge in filling it up (11.7kW...

Maybe I’m about an average install size with regulation 3.68kW inverter and 12x 390W panels and 13kW batteries (maybe a little higher on battery😉) Yesterday perfect solar profile of zero % cloud generated 27.4kW solar and I exported 7.2kW. So far this year export 560kW and all of 2022 was 820kW...

Not for you it would seem...

All TM3's now 0% APR on PCP. Tesla playing around with their finance options with some models having higher monthly's but no final payment. Choices there for LR RWD

100% with you on this. My dream... (not a chance mind!!) that when my PCP is up in just under 3 years the infrastructure is in place for V2H, I'll pay the remainder of my balloon (£18.5k) for the 75kW, SORN it, then get a cover and put it on bricks at the side of the house😂😂. By that time the...

I find it quite simple now… It works as it should, if you set a charge limit which is realistic (ie what you expect to get in 6h IO - for me 50% M3LR) and tell it to be done by 05:30 then it will be. If you want to game the system and specify 90% charge and to be ready by 9am then it’ll likely...

We had an MY loaner when ours went for repair last week and it was the opposite. We couldn’t hear the blips (over the blaring stereo) and when checked JM was on. We’re old and I’m a little deaf I guess😂 Although not JM related my misses always hated my M3 boot close beeps and was well happy...

Joe mode?

Whatever it is and whatever anyone may tell you it is ultimately about taking our money and there's nothing we can do about it sadly. I'm sure an 'expert' on here will give you their well founded reason (read opinion). It sucks and yes I've just got a £1k quote too up from my £276 last year...

Stayed in York last week, at the Novotel. 3 AC chargers in the car par, just me and some bloke in a Volvo hybrid turned up for a spot of charge. Nobody else there the whole time. Relocated once charged, after my evening meal and a spot of TV to allow anyone else in but remained empty all night...

Welcome to the Teslamoanersclub… Bummer about your wheels, I get your idea about the bus lane though. However you’ll probably find Mr Mayor (SK) has automatic bollards that rise up and beach your car!! I know what you mean about the SUC’s as well, stopped at Mansfield the other week and had to...

Mine did the same on the switch. Dropped them a tweet (not that I ever use this platform) as folk on here say it invokes a quicker response. Got it sorted within 30 minutes and an up to date bill. @octopusenergy

It’s all solar ‘roulette’ as I term it.😂 The aim, like you, is minimal peak usage period. If that means I put more into the battery to protect myself then so be it. The aggressive approach as you rightly put it is counter productive as I end up paying more for peak usage, but have done this...

Personnally I'd be super-happy if they took a penny or two off the overnight rate, seeing as my last bill was 96.5% off peak. (747kWh Off-Peak / 27.5kWh Peak) Gotta love solar and batteries this time of year! Probably too much to ask TBH? Used 0.78kWh from the grid today so far... some minor...

You know what, I’ve been thinking about this. Currently away on holiday, kids are at home (say kids they’re 21 and 18) but don’t use close to what I use on washing etc😂. Anyhow, massive export over the weekend just got me thinking of the “waste” when I could give it to the neighbours or...

Never had it mentioned on my original install so it never crossed my mind. I wasn't on this forum then so ignorance is bliss. Having had 12 months of the little critters scratching around under the panels, crapping everwhere and filling the gaps underneath with nesting twigs and leaves I paid...

Cheers for the comments. Haven't really seen the point of checking the paint depth. It is what it is in my book. Just an observation. Agreeing with @QuanTim regarding the bigger wheels look better on any colour M3 or MY, but that again is a personal preference, hence my M3's Sports. TBH if...

Have the blue Y and have the silver 3. Both look good clean. Silver has a metallic blue glint in bright sun, looks nice IMO. Blue I don’t think is as thick paint. There are more stone chips on the bonnet than on the 3 but that could just be how the wife drives it?? With my time again, maybe have...

Got mine tinted within 2 weeks of ownership by a local guy/business near to us. Cost me £250 for sides and rear. Been perfect ever since.. honestly quite surprised most others users haven't (considering what we all spend of accessories for the inside) this isn't a particularly large sum? Also...

AFAIK if you unplug the car the schedule disappears. So that’s it for cheap rate. I left mine plugged in for the whole duration and it completed the charge to the required 90% as was set. It was charging randomly within the time windows but that’s the point of it. Happy for it to do its thing...

The holy grail of set ups… I’d never leave the house with that, I’d spend my whole time juggling usage which would be awesome for me😂😂

Choose Go and any charger you fancy, makes no difference. Set car schedule for 11:30 start and you’re sorted. If you choose IO then it only works with one car but when you get a schedule or between the 6h window the ‘2nd’ car can be charged with any charger you want in the same time window...

I have a similar smart charge today, 11:45-12:00 & 12:00-04:00 but keep an eye as it had changed mid-afternoon to 13:58-16:30. It was about 14:30 when I checked so still in the window of off-peak. Good job as we had several appliances on as well as the car charging after being away all week. It...

I wasn’t considering an import I was just saying this is the price they’re able to pay over there. Where did you get the UK analogy from? Californians will be paying that amount. No worries, often accused of not being as clear as I should👍 It wasn’t a whinge I was just hinting at possible...

I wasn’t considering an import I was just saying this is the price they’re able to pay over there. Californians will be paying that amount and through exchange rate that was UK GBP True though the credits are a smokescreen as we haven’t an equivalent

Back to the point of the thread rather than satisfying individuals personal preferences which is a constant circular debate through these forum pages leading nowhere...😵‍💫 This model achieves a whole 20 miles more than the current LR but assuming will be heavier with larger battery do we assume...

yes

Current EU prices in Euro for a model 3 translated to £ would be about +/- RWD £35,990 LR £44,990-45,990 M3P £49,990 USA hard for simple me to fathom as they always quote prices without a bunch of local and federal taxes which change state to state I believe? The M3P equates to £42,684. Then...

100% agree with you on this. Don’t give a flying ‘f’ about autopilot and self driving. Also, we believe we have the 2 Goldilocks cars in our M3 and MY both fully kitted out with all latest 2022 upgrades and USS. Was happy with what we paid, don’t care about prices they can do what they like...

Avoiding the argument that it SHOULD work, I know that but as it doesn’t what can you do? I live life this way, most things don’t meet my expectations and life’s to short to moan constantly. Although my wife would disagree. IO is the most cost effective solution for my needs, there is no...

Not a supercharger but a destination charger in Falmouth at the Royal Duchy Hotel. This no longer exists, there are now 2 Smappee units which require an app. Simple to register, simple to use. 40p/kw. 22kw/3 phase so 45miles/hour. Good destination charger. And it works👍

Exeter busy today, several Tesla stalls partly blocked with other EV’s forming an orderly queue to get into the Gridserve units which sit 90 degrees opposite. 3 Tesla SUC’s were clear when we arrived, all consecutive stalls, but couldn’t access them due to the queue. Fortunately there was...

GBC isn't usually incorrect, he's selective in his articles to reinforce his point. Most of his vids he's reading from a report or similar and picking holes in it. His opinions are the evidence of bias, which fuel his followers. Long may they stay in their ICE vehicles and keep more chargers...

Mine failed too last night but I don’t really care. Plugged in when I got home at 7pm and got a 10h charge window when IO created its schedule at 8:30pm (1.5 hours later). Currently the plan appears to be that the smart schedule, when it appears, commences charging ASAP. However after a few...

My average unit rate for the last 6 weeks was 11.5p approx for over 2000kW. Love time shifting. Helped by the occasional 10.5h IO schedule which I’ve got again tonight. And with battery and solar the peak usage being negligible. Hooray!!

Unlikely your ‘friends’ will take the time to read this debunking article as it most likely goes against their own ‘beliefs’ for want of a better word? Any new tech hits a wall ASAP and you’ve got to wonder why? Solar - what’s your payback gonna be! How are those panels made? Mobile phones -...

Savings on inventory cars have touched a new low price by the looks of it… across the range except for MYP as only a couple available… £11.5k off an M3P
