I get the feeling you are right on this. Im in the uk and RSEV who i am subcribed to on u tube has purchased a new Highland model 3 long range and done a couple of videos on the range (apparently its better ecconomy on motorway driving) but he mentioned that unlike all other model 3 long ranges...

Yeah the photos dont do them complete justice i agree. I chose white centre logos from Temu as i liked the white on the aero caps. Did you notice any difference in range after swapping over?

I just wanted to post here that i have swapped my model 3 aero wheel covers for the arachnid set. I think they look mutch better, but as range is very important to me i was concerned about losing some due to the change. After 3 weeks and 3000 miles i can honestly say that i haven’t noticed any...

Yes of course you are correct, something i havent had to do yet but may if i forget to plug it in at some point!

Hi there i had the same questions in my mind when i first went on this tarriff. The answer to your question is that all charging through the Octopus App is off peak, no matter what time. However here are some pointers and advice i can give you from my own experience. Make sure all charging...

Also sorted at the back out now by taking the plate out of the plastic case and removing the case and plinth. 3m double sided tape on the plate put on the car. Makes cleaning around it a lot easier also. Ive also replaced the front and back T’s with matt black ones and have a matt black duel...

Got the front number plate fitted a few days ago. It definately looks better than the standard.

Hi all i thought i would share some photos showing some accessories i got for my model 3 which were very good value for money. The all weather floor mats were from Tessories, which included fronts rear and boot liner, all for £97. They had a space imprinted for an emblem so i got Tesla emblems...

I have booked my model 3 in to a local detailer to change the front plate on my model 3 to stick on vinyl. Does anyone have any evidence that apart from looking better, it actually helps with efficiency?

I have found a solution to this. I had to sign into itunes on my pc after reading another thread on this. You have to upload your none purchased items to the cloud for them to play on all devices, including your car

Thanks for the update, that makes sense now, what a bummer!!! Maybe a future update might fix this. Will have to keep the none purchased stuff on my split usb drive for now and play via that. At least playing through the usb is more convenient that bluetooth.

Not now you can sign in via the user interface and stream via the car

Yes thats right all is well apart from none purchased, they are greyed out in the tesla screen, but not on my phone

So i signed into my Apple music in my model 3 once i had installed the layest holiday update and all was great, and as i had heard all my none purchased songs appeared as well. However when i took a closer look all my none purchased songs were greyed out and wouldn't play. This is the first...

3 screen shots from today. Finished charging to 90% at 4:30, preconditioned departure for 5am. 317m showing at 89% in the car. First screen shot is 2 miles from first survey, second is at second survey and 3rd is back home. All the info there. The 119m left equated to 34%

In the week at mostly starting at 90% its down to 55% or below after around 5 hours counting average 2 survey stops of around 45 min each

I do 2 or 3 surveys most days and average 1000 miles per week, sometimes i bit more. I picked my model 3 LR up on the 28th September this year and have done just over 12000 miles. I get up early to get back early as once back i have to create my surveys on a laptop at home. I do from 150-300 a...

Yes I always make sure that I work out that the car finishes charging no more than half an hour before I’m due to leave. I’ll give it half an hour in case there is a problem during the night but it’s always 33 miles/ an hour or thereabouts, so it’s easy to work out Because if you use the other...

I have a question on this. I have posted on here and read most of the threads. I do a lot of miles in my model 3 long range, and understand there will be battery degradation over time. In a nutshell in the winter which of these is the less degrading: Every day charging to 95% on AC with...

You need to set your departure time with preconditioning first on the app before you set the time to start charging. If you set the charging time first and then switch to departure and preconditioning and set that, you will notice if you go back to charging time it has switched off. Its just how...

Thanks i thought as much

I did try that, so the message disappeared but on the energy app the loss of range continued on the preconditioning section as it was doing when the message was there, so i presumed it was still preconditioning. Maybe im missing what you mean

Thanks for the info i have now been through some of the threads and come to the conclusion that i will try putting the charge destination into the route when 30 minutes away and see how that goes. I do a lot of miles but usually within the cars range, but now its winter i will probably have to...

I have a question on preconditioning before arriving at a supercharger. While i have only had to use supercharger 2 times with my model 3 long range as i have a wall connector at home, when you route plan the charger into your route, why does it start preconditioning an hour from the destination...

Thanks for the heads up and thanks to the rrst of you for diving in on these things too. Its much appreciated. Just a note on charging data. I dont want to be paying or subscribing to apps with fancy gimmicks. The Tesla app is not very good for keeping charging costs accurately. I came accross a...

The cold weather is coming now so im sure over the winter, even with careful driving there will be less effeciency. Already gone up one over the weekend, although good trip down to London this morning. It will be what it will be in the winter. Best not to worry and just enjoy the car. Plenty of...

As the car is so relaxing to drive its not much of a discipline in the week to do some careful driving to help save supercharging, and not worry at the weekends when all miles are very cheap.

Yeah climate off and seat on is a bit more efficient but its always a trade off between a few extra miles and comfort. For me at 58 years old the seats warm my back and legs but not the whole self as such. While im working i would rather ease off on the throttle in the winter and keep properly...

I have a 7 hour off peak at 8p from 12:30-7:30 but have to be up around 5am to 6am most mornings. Thats with EDF. Your right about the cold weather. I had a 240m round trip today, temperature between 4-7. Took it easy between 55 and 60 on the motorways, some driving in London which helped. There...

I was talking about the plaid as far as the 22kwph was concerned. Not worth thinking about 3 phase for the model 3 just to get an extra few miles per hour at 11kwph

Believe it or not i wouldnt have got a loan privatley as we ate only renting and have no private savings. My business is doing well, im a limited company but there is only me so the buisness bank is healthy and Black horse okd me straight away

Thanks for your comments, im just new to this and would like, same as everybody i suppose to look after the battery as best as possible considering the high mileage i do.

Indeed but for the mileage i do the figures wouldn't work unless i had 3 phase and could charge all off peak every night at 22kwph getting nearly 100 mph charge instead of 33 mph charge. Nice thought though 😊

Hi there, i picked up my new model 3 long range on the 28th September this year. Nice to have the new 79KWH battery! I was smitten after a test drive in May. Believe it or not with a 10000 deposit which i will get back through corporation tax next year and a 5 year tesla loan the monthly payment...

Hi there im new on here and in the uk. Couldnt find an exact thread for my enquiry so apologies if this is out of place here. I took delivery of my new model 3 LR on the 28th September. We dont get the 82KWH battery over here in the long range only in the performance. They have however increased...
