Parked in Stanstead last week for one week. Switched off sentry and cooling. Car is seven months old. Lost 3 miles. 😁

This is the original Michelin sport 4 that can with the car

Tyre changed no problems... Big screw in side wall in fact service was excellent. Supervisor moved car and looked after jacking. They managed to preserve and keep the rim protector I had applied. Job started on time and done quickly. Don’t know what I was worried about really. This was Kwik...

Are puck / jack pads available from Tesla or a third party?

Cheers I’ve just printed the relevant jacking instructions from the manual just in case.

Thanks all booked for tomorrow I’ll let you know how I get on 🤞

Got a screw in the rear passenger side wall so think this tyre will need to be changed. Tesla quoted £248 for new tyre but can’t do it until 4th July ! Kwik fit have got a tyre and job will be about £20 less. But feel a bit queasy about them jacking car etc. Does experience show they are...

I use the Tesla gen 3 charger at home. It’s easy to set up and you can limit the charging current a bit if your local network voltage falls when there is high load in the area. This had caused the neutral fault detector to trip. I actually had to get UKPN to move my supply to a less loaded...

It’s not too bad, also if you cant park your car without it having to hold your hand I would take some more lessons! The rear camera was always enough for me. However it is a rip off to pay for a M3 and not get USS. This is the first car I have ever had to not have them. It was impossible for...

Don’t have to look in the manual because there’s always people on these forums I can ask (like you I presume) who know more about these things than the Tesla software Engineers do! 😂

Thanks for the explanations.

I’m ok with undertaking rules and know I should have overtaken, but I’m just curious if the car is configured to apply these rules?

Hi, I was driving home last night in the dark on an unlit 3 lane A130. I was in lane 1, which was clear ahead for a long way and I had the auto pilot cruise control set to 70. My car (model 3 2022) was happily driving at 70 when it started to approach a car in lane 2 doing about 65. My car then...

Mine had 44% when I picked it up

Just one further simple question... If the car is plugged in but outside scheduled charging times, can it still draw electricity from the house to do updates or whatever mysterious things it wants to do when it’s parked. Or does it have to use the battery as the charger is stopped? I.e. is the...

Thanks, this is the “defrost car” button on the phone app? Have been using this to wind up the neighbours 😂

This is also in the Model 3 handbook. For something under warranty it seems sensible to follow the manufacturers guidance?.. “Follow Internet influencers if you so desire.” ...No I don’t. I think I’ll only deviate from this when Tesla tell me too. 👍 Thanks all for the comments

Hi any advice is very welcome... I’ve Had an M3 RWD for about a week and just wanted any views on my charging regime. I do about 150 miles per week and charge at home with a Gen 3 wall connector, I can charge at 30A as required. My car has an LFP Battery which I understand likes to be charged...

Successfully charged at 30A last night from 00:00. So probably going to be OK. As I only expect to charge between about 00:00 and 07:00. Really got a bad feeling about what will happen when all the neighbours have got EVs, UKPN better start installing bigger cables and transformers now. 😳

Ahh... probably no better off with the Garo unit.

Thanks for the info. It looks like the lower setting for the low voltage trip would suit my circumstances. At the moment night charging is really the only option I.e after midnight. I’ll look into this, cheers

After 200 miles I can’t find anything wrong yet with the car and I’m thrilled with the performance and build of this example. (Ignoring my ignorance of a couple of settings). Black M3 RWD Delivered at Blue Water Kent 9/12/22 Thanks for the response to my questions in this thread, I’ll now...

The installer did give anecdotal evidence of having Matt:e units tripping on overload with a 32A RCD fitted and when supplying a Tesla Gen 3 wall connector. The box is fitted with a 32A rated RCD. I don’t think a single phase matt:e unit is available with a 40A RCD. I must admit I’ve never had...

Agreed, however the installer recommended 30A to give the 32A RCD a bit of leeway. But then who dares wins...

Great, successful 25A charge. Tonight it’s 30A full load.😁

Have now done night charges at 13, 15 and 20 A. Without low voltage tripping. Going to set the wall connector to 25A as it looks like swapping phases seems to have made a difference.🤞 Still got a big hole in the garden though😁

Last night I tried to charge the car. The house was at minimum load and I set a conservative 13A limit. Started charging at 00:00 and the car charged without any problems and reached 100% (LFP) at about 05:30. +65miles. I noticed that the indicated voltage was 230v. 😁 So thankfully I seem to...

The UKPN engineer measured the incomer voltage drop to 208v! at about 19:00 with cookers and heaters on but no charger working. Obviously the matt:e didn’t stand a chance! I have actually been impressed with the UKPN response so far, hopefully the massive trench in my front garden will be...

Apologies if this is an old problem. So I’ve had a Gen 3 wall connector fitted with a matt:e unit. All good except when there is some load on the house the incoming voltage is pulled down from about 220v to about 212v. Consequently the Matt e unit trips on low voltage as it thinks there is a...

Not on this forum unfortunately 😂

Update for info, the car charged correctly at the supercharger, still on hold with Tesla to sort this home charging problem out. Could be ac charger problem in car ? Other than that the car is fantastic. One question doesn’t it have audible parking sensors?.

Tried that and called Tesla. They reset everything and checked different systems but to no avail as they can’t see any faults They have asked me to take it to a supercharger tomorrow and see if that works, and go from there.

Picked up car today, Model 3 Black RWD from Blue Water, very fast service. Got the impression the staff were only handing out keys and any problems would have to be logged on the app. All good no problems I can see at the moment with the condition of the car. Very pleased with it😁 Charge was...

Thanks

Thanks, there may be trouble ahead.....😂

Just a quick question, if anyone can help please? If my Mrs and I both use the car and have profiles and both have our phones connected and we both approach the car to go out, who will unlock it and get the car set up in their profile? I suppose we should approach it with caution one at a...

When mine arrived I also got an email and text and then another nudge text a few days after. First request to pay was 26th November for a 9th December collection.

Payment completed today and zeroed out on app, insurance in place, ready for pick up next Friday. 🤞😁 Thanks for the advice received here so far, cheers

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👍😂 got a few quid saved.

Thanks got direct line via Tesla site, all worked ok was by far cheapest quote for us.

Trying to insure a new M3 with direct line however they don’t recognise the car reg or RWD version. They only have a manual option for standard range plus, which they assume is a different car Does anyone know how to get or when the reg will appear on the insurance database? Getting near to pick...

Thanks for the reassurance and info👍I suppose bad news always get over blown. I think the issue stems from seeing cars reviewed by magazine journalists having panel issues. (You’d think Tesla would lend them a perfect example). I wouldn’t like to be the person who has to try and explain away...

I’m collecting an M3 RWD on Friday 9th December. Looking forward to this but can’t help thinking that the car will probably have some panel issues, from what I’ve heard. Question is, what is the procedure to sort this out? can it be booked in for any remedial work there and then? What happens...

Sorry don’t understand what you are asking, but I am purchasing outright.

Got an invoice today, for Delivery on 9/12/22

Got to sort out insurance now. I’ve had quotes that make it the same as my current Merc C250. Is there a preferred insurance company for Tesla?? Thanks

Got the VIN and Reg Today for a pick up on 9/12/22. Expect someone will want paying tomorrow. Thanks to all for responses, apparently I can respond to these until I’ve been here for a bit longer 😁👍

Thanks for your help. The online account acknowledges the delivery date and location and just says “we are drafting your contract and will contact you when you can make final payment.” I’ll try to call them🤞

Hi , After waiting 8 months for news of my M3 RWD, I have now been requested to book a delivery slot (pick up from Dartford). I have done this a week ago and this has been confirmed as 9/12/22, 16 days time. However, I have still not been invoiced, asked to pay, had a reg number or VIN. Is...
