    Sat in highland model 3 and LHD model S other day

    I cant quite understand why the new S still isn't RHD. There's surely a big enough market to make it financially viable for a single production line in 1 of their now many factories. I have a 2023 model 3 at the moment and would love to upgrade to an S in couple years but will never take LHD

    What is this high pitched cricket like noise?

    Update from my SC visit. I'm in Nottingham UK. Tech was 24 yo so should have reasonable hearing.. phoned me the first day saying he heard nothing but agreed to try again the following morning in cooler weather. Just phoned me again saying he heard nothing out of ordinary but he didn't sound...

    Curb rash

    Or just get a professional to repair it. Cost me 35 quid in Nottingham for a professional alloy place. Looks good as new after I curbed one on collection day. A whole alloy or set of alloys obviously would be more but worth it

    What is this high pitched cricket like noise?

    I suspect all of us thinking we have the same issue are mistaken and that there are several different problems that can cause similar symptoms. Some people drive unit fixed it, some people obviously other things such as brakes are the issue. Myself I think I hear the same noise as others but...

    What is this high pitched cricket like noise?

    My new model 3 LR 2023 has this sound. Worst between 50 and 65 for me. Almost gone above 70 luckily so I cruise there on motorway. I wondered about a form of turbulent wind noise coming in behind the dash from somewhere. I know it sounds mechanical but it has an odd buffeting quality in the way...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Yes I got to pick it up within a week of ordering. This happened as I got a callback to cancel the used order. The guy worked in one of the London service centres I believe. I explained the situation and he said let me get you sorted with the new one and he booked my collection date and time...

    No Corp tax involved. I'm buying it as a sole trader. This makes a big difference for me in my own financial circumstances right now and is the right financial decision I have had professional advice thanks

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    I was going to get an MG4 but cancelled for the 2021 Tesla LR at just a few k more. I think Tesla is at its realistic low point now as many people such as myself jumping on the relative competitive prices. The used prices were artificially inflated, the collapse in prices is just economic...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Tesla have been giving the best prices but not consistently. I bought a 2021 LR for 35.9k with 7k miles. That has extra 1 year warranty and EAP. Nothing that good on auto trader. I saw a higher milage similar spec for 32.5k

    Air to Air Heatpumps / Air conditioning

    I've had air to air heat pumps in my last 2 homes primarily for air conn in bedrooms and 1 living space. We hate sleeping in the heat in summer and modern houses are insufferable for this nowadays. People think UK is not necessary but recent summers have had way more hot weather. Best decision...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    I've bought a used recently that's in Corby. Not collected yet. The pricing has been all over the shop. I even bought a second impulsively but then cancelled it after when I saw it had had some damage repaired. That was listed at 32.5k for a 71 plate long range with 11k miles on! Now it's 38k...
