It’s been a while since I have been on here, but this is timely. My lovely wife kerbed my front wheel with a similar grazing within the first couple of weeks of me owning my car. I did a quick repair job with some dark grey paint we happened to have for the Mazda … it turned pretty well really...

Clean cloth soaked in fairy liquid in washing up bowl, hot water, wrung out works a treat … removes Mrs L‘s make up from door handles and steering wheel a treat! I am not planning on using interior cleaners at the moment unless someone can strongly recommend one. Like you, I wish to maintain the...

I have found Tessories to be good, and Tesla's own are very good - and I would say all-weather mats are on the essential list .. :)

That’s good to hear, I am planning on doing the same 😀

Replying to myself now 🤣 ... just to say don't be deterred by the indicated range (you can either display remaining battery as a percentage or as a mileage range) in miles drifting downwards when you get your cars ... which it may well do if your car utilisation is anything like mine. My car...

Kind of fits in with Sleepy Joe though 🤣, you are right!:)

Wow! Enjoy Cuba ... bring back a cigar to celebrate getting the Tesla!

Hi bi.angel ... I have been thinking about this some more ... you can set a chime to come on when you exceed the speed limit for the road ... I do find this to be more desirable actually than stopping the car going any faster when you press harder on the accelerator. If you set the car chimes on...

Wow! That is amazing!

That is a really interesting question … my indicated range is drifting downwards (I tend to leave it on percentage now). 5 weeks in, the car initially read 274, yesterday on a full 100% charge it read 259 miles. I am not overly concerned given the 8 year warranty on the battery and motor, but...

Pleased for you … so exciting!

Hang in there buddy, it’s going to happen soon!

Hi @Millenium101, definitely buy the all weather mats, these are so much better than rubber mats of old. The contouring and materials used are so on point, certainly a must have. I had thought that they would detract from the look of the cars interior but they don't (I went for Tesla) ... the...

That is very true, and definitely worth bearing in mind for would be purchasers ... no cut outs and not overly compartmentalised (i.e. for coins, glasses etc). Thanks Adam for pointing that out. Just nice quality ... sounds like yours are too.

Those of you expecting delivery soon and wondering about accessories ... Tesla have finally got their centre console trays back in stock, I suspect these sell quickly once deliveries arrive. I have been waiting a while for them to get them back in stock again, I ordered them two days ago and...

I went for the Tessories 3-piece bundle and paid £59.95, it is currently in their sale at £56.95 but the boot liner is also available separately at £36.95. They are good quality in my opinion and a good fit. The boot liner flexes and accommodates access to the lower trunk really easily.

… and a first aid kit, and a wipe for cleaning the screen, and a booklet explaining Tesla roadside callouts … definitely invest in all weather mats. I have a mix of Tesla and non-Tesla mats etc (Tesla interior mats, non-Tesla trunk, frunk, and lower trunk), in my humble opinion, for what it is...

Hi bi.angel, there isn't a speed limiter ... I would like one of those too. It could well be a feature that is added in a future update, let's hope so. And I am really enjoying the car thanks. I can't believe it is very nearly a month since we collected it. My latest head scratchers have been...

Honestly dajw2793 it is plenty quick enough ... it is beautiful to drive ... I guarantee you will be thrilled. Loving it more and more, like others have said.

I have indeed Tonto ... I went to Tint Master at Donnington, they have done an excellent job. Callum is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I can honestly thoroughly recommend him.

Prospective owners … this is one to watch:

Definitely, and so worth waiting for … I’m still waiting for a Powerwall and no indications that it is coming any time soon, ordered last December … it is like Christmas day as a kid when a VIN does appear and delivery day comes along, so don’t give up waiting … ever, it’ll happen soon!

My car in the foreground, cars were mostly white at the NEC end of September. It is impossible to say with EDDs, I had 10 from the time of order to delivery with the penultimate one being mid-Nov 22 to Jan 23. So … maybe don’t give up completely on the prospect of a Q4 delivery 🤞

Oh I see ... hadn't appreciated that but that makes sense thinking back ... a faster SR was followed by a slower SR+ ...I remember that much. I just recall wanting the battery he was referring to. Thanks for the correction.

I don't know ... you are probably right ... but this video late December 2021 fitted in with my understanding ... this is the new battery I was wanting ... I stand corrected on the heat pump. My point really was that Tesla do add things as well as take away. It's a nice video on the RWD if...

Don't think so ... for example ... Google ... When did Model 3 get LFP? Tesla announced in October 2021 that it was switching to LFP batteries for its standard range models, both Model 3 and Model Y. Dated: 15 Apr 2022 I think I remember the Tesla sales person saying that we would be getting...

It is interesting how Tesla's do change over time ... when I first put my order in the unknowns then were whether or not the car would have the LFP battery, heat pump, lumbar support for passenger, lithium 12v battery, AMD Ryzen chip, heated everything including wheel and wipers (yesterday, it...

I read that too Lewis, possibly not by the sounds of it ... pesky little things parking sensors ... I would rather have them than not have them of course, but if there is a better way of doing it, it has to be a good thing. My car is already old tech! 🤣

£350 for the bumper, £100 for the dog legs where the sills meet the rear wheel arch, and £150 for the sills. I haven't tried anywhere other than this one PPF fitter, he gets good reviews so I will just go with him. He cuts his own sheets rather than using pre-cut pieces ... which affects price...

Had a thought regarding PPF which may be of interest to others ... I have asked the guy who is doing them to cut around the parking sensors. He assures me that the PPF will not affect performance of the sensors, but I am taking no chances with warranty, insurance or performance. He did say that...

The Tesla rep that we saw on delivery said the same thing, Birmingham NEC would be 200 cars a day he reckoned …

Hi Tonto 28, yes I forgot to comment on the audio and on the performance and ride. I really like the audio, it is clear, crisp and very balanced, flat response across the range in terms of frequency I would say. I haven’t fiddled with the audio settings at all. I am a bit of an audiophile I am...

Latest update, cancelled the appointment for dirty mark and panel fit issues, dirty mark wiped off 🤪 and two of the panel fit issues associated with trunk closure have disappeared and the third one was so minor it just wouldn’t be worth the upset of messing about with nuts, bolts and fasteners...

Thank you Frankcjd ... you are going to be thrilled! I wish I could go through the whole experience again! It is such a delight when you first receive a text saying to expect delivery quickly followed by a hidden VIN ... then the build up to the delivery, making your way to the collection point...

My pick-up went smoothly. I am a perfectionist, and an engineer by profession, so gave the car a thorough looking over before accepting. The paint, glass and interior (apart from a dirty mark on the driver-side 'b'-pillar) were perfect. I did notice three panel fit issues, the gap between the...

Yipee!!!!

Must admit, I chewed the ear off Tesla (politely, wasn't rude or aggressive) and I did wonder if that's why I was given a car within a couple of weeks of doing that. I also said I would be prepared to take a car that didn't match the spec of the order. Picking my car up tomorrow, just in time...

Hang in there Bodders - you might get the red one with the white interior and alloy wheels that I wanted to be offered to me ...:p

That sounds promising, fingers crossed for you ... before you know it, you will have one!

I have well and truly pushed the boat out, and ordered 2 black Tesla travel mugs from the Tesla Shop ... so my rubber cup holder insert may no longer be required as I am anticipating a perfect fit (still waiting for the console trays to come back into stock) ... I am sure that a lot of people...

If they had rung me offering me a red with a white interior, the man from delmonte would have had to say yes! 🤣

Looking forward to hearing about your shopping list and experience :)

Here you go, dajw2793 … they should do a white one 🤣

Well ... at least it looks like 'a bite' ... Tesla appear to be showing an interest in your RN ... 🤞 By way of an update. The key fob and its holder have arrived ... expensive certainly but at least they look the part. The fob itself as you probably know comes in a nice box. The Tesla all...

Sounds promising … good luck Lewis

When I spoke to Tesla, they assured me it was a pipeline in terms of order to delivery. My original order was the 14th January, I amended the order in February (7th) but whenever I spoke to them it was the 14th January they referred to. Given that I have squeezed in to a Q3 delivery, if Tesla...

Does anyone know whether or not our cars will arrive with a USB stick installed in the glovebox?

Certainly will, I am hoping Tesla interior mats will be a perfect fit, less concerned about the frunk and trunk mats … I hope they are worth it … but so many times I buy cheap, buy twice … including my most recent pair of glasses from Specsavers doh! (but they do let you change them and just pay...

Okay, my actual shopping list, purchased today ahead of the VAT decrease next Friday 'cos I just can't wait any longer: From Tesla: 1. Interior All-Weather Mats 2. Key fob (yep!) 3. Key fob holder 4. Out of Stock at the moment but will purchase when available - Model 3 Center Console Trays...

Sunrise has docked! Fellow M3 RWD prospective owners … have you checked out Taptes.com … what do you think? I am thinking for the full set of mats in particular … but there are some very interesting purchase opportunities on that site ….
