I was Supercharging at Tesla Birmingham yesterday and had my first chance to look at the Highland. Likes - rear end with new lights Alloy wheels looked nice on a 73 plate outside. Didn’t look at the ambient lighting but I’d image I’d of liked it. Dislikes- Front end. Much prefer the older...

Well I think they’ll be some happy people down the South West pretty soon. Followed a car transporter full of Highlands today along the M4 and then onto the M5 possibly heading to the Bristol Collection point .

Have a Barclaycard Fuel card from work and added that to my Tesla App. Have a Mina ( All Star ) card as well and use that at any other charger I just need a tap and charge. Have the Electroverse app and RFID card as well and that has my Barclaycard Fuel Card as its default payment method

That’s going to hit the Egyptians hard if there’s minimal large container ship traffic through Suez. Can be $400k per large container ship!

Aesthetics wise, sure. Stalks issue?? First world problems eh!! ;)

Actually saw a Model 3 Highland on UK roads yesterday morning. Was a LHD on French plates though. I live near Castle Combe circuit and as I was returning from walking one of my dogs and was reversing into my drive a Highland stopped to let me do it. Looked good. I think a lot of people are...

Thanks mate, appreciate the explanation 👍🏼

I’m going to stick up for BG now Have had an Alfen Pro charger fitted now for the last 2.5 years. I live in an old cottage, on an overhead supply and at the end of the line. The only issue I’ve ever had is sometimes the HIVE aspect of the charger goes offline, but I can still use the charger...

What’s the autopilot nags? Had my M3 LR RWD just under 2 weeks now, no holiday update as of yet but on the software version you mentioned

My experience of the IONITY chargers at J17 truck stop is that they can be a bit hit and miss communicating with the vehicle via the app. They have now installed a contactless payment terminal so if you don’t have the app you can still charge using a debit,credit or fuel card.

Used it today on the way to Hayle to pick up our rescue dog. Driving the ID3 was happy to find open to all makes. Had a cracking sausage sandwich in the cafe, and 3 hours out of home bumped into a chap I know from my time at BG . Small world!

Does everyone get this update? Got my M3 LR RWD on Monday. Says it’s on 2023.38.200

That was fun. Can highly recommend playing Killing In The Name by Rage in the Machine for a proper audio workout

So after 20 miles drive tonight from the office to a charge point ( not got access to the app yet) I’ve got to grips already with the dynamics of the driving. Sport in steering, not bad feedback. Like the ‘one pedal’ driving. Wing mirrors a bit smaller than I’m used to but getting used to the...

No comments yet. But to be honest, it’s a company car, it’s an EV so low BIK. It’ll get me from A-B in a planet friendly manner. Wipers, cameras etc, I’m not going to get my knickers in a twist. And it looks pretty cool. Winner winner chicken dinner for me :)

Twas dark when it arrived and I drove it the grand total of 200 yds to the space it’ll stay in until the trackers fitted ( work instance for Percy mileage) But I’m glad it’s here and I have the key cards in my possession :)

Finally finally finally, after being added to our company fleet list for a M3 LR RWD in August it arrives in 40 mins!!! Initially ordered blue, but never got allocated to my RN, and then got told a few weeks ago no more blue, it’s either white or black. So gone with black.

My company is business leasing through ALD. And what a poor process it’s been. Car ordered beginning of October. RN received and given access on the app. Then added info appeared in November, then disappeared the next day. Still haven’t got my car because they’ve run out of blue M3 LR RWD...

Don’t reckon many ships will be going through the Red Sea in the near future with Houthi rebels saying it’s closed.

M3. Company is leasing through ALD so maybe a cost issue 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just had an email from our fleet dept saying blue not available in LR RWD, but plenty black or white. Make of that what you will .

How long does it take to offload a quantity of vehicles? Glovis Splendor docked just after 3pm today and looking at Southampton Docks movements she’s due to depart for Bremerhaven at 21:00 on Thursday . Is 2 days enough time for a few thousand cars to be unloaded? Also says she’s due to move...

According to an online chat I had with Tesla this week there’s a boat heading to Southampton arriving on Dec 4th. That’s the Glovis Splendor

Looking at Southampton Port arrivals and movements it has Grande Roma arriving on the 16th into Western Docks. Was she a Shanghai departee? Currently she’s at anchor off of Lisbon. She doesn’t look to have pulled alongside there to offload anything.

Mr M, my company ordered 66 Y’s and 3’s at the beginning of October. Quite a few of us are still waiting for M3 LR RWD. A couple of us ordered blue of which there are zero on Inventory . We’ve been told end of Nov. We have RN number and have been told no cars yet allocated. From that info I’m...

Still patiently waiting for mine. However, Tesla have told me my RN has now been allocated a vehicle. Baby steps and all that 🤣

I’m still awaiting a M3 LR RWD. Haven’t been allocated yet and have been told end of November. Reckon on that basis there has to be some non Highland M3’s on the way

This Tesla ordering malarkey is frustrating me. 2 weeks ago I had a text stating my RN number and then an email saying the leasing company has allowed access on the app. A pic of a model 3 , the lease company name ( ALD) and the order number appeared on the app. Then 2 days ago the RN number...

I’m still awaiting a M3 LR RWD as a company car. Have the RN, just waiting to be matched. However, had an email from Tesla saying that they are in discussion with my lease company to swap my order to the new M3. Spoke to my fleet manager and said no thanks, I’ve waited long enough and don’t want...

This is the spec sheet for B2B. The M3 LR RWD was primarily for the Company Car/Fleet market.

Fooled by who?

They do count. Every child and innocent counts. Hamas want collateral damage. Good for the PR. There should be a concerted effort to remove children from Gaza before the expected ground offensive. But people saying these slayings, because that’s what they are, are justified because of past...

Your perspective stinks pal. It’s been verified by various sources but you just keep denying it and making excuses for radical fundamentalism masquerading as freedom fighters. This isn’t about whatism’s and oooo they’ve done that before so this is justified. Hamas are ISIS 2.0 and if you...

I think it may be recent events at the Al-Aqsa Mosque that could be a catalyst to the unfolding events https://theprint.in/world/how-al-aqsa-mosque-3rd-holiest-site-in-islam-became-focal-point-of-israeli-palestinian-tensions/1794531/?amp...

Loads of cars appeared on Tesla UK preconfigured inventory. All ‘Arriving Soon’.

Still waiting for mine. :( Company getting it through ALD Automotive, who I believe do the B2B for Tesla. At least with the Southampton boat due in next week I shouldn’t be waiting much longer.

And do we think she is carrying the last of the last Model 3?

I did take an M3P out from Bristol. Thought we’d be given a LR AWD. Rocket ship. Used to have a tuned B8 S4 that hit 60 in under 3.5, but the M3P was on another level. I had a 50 Etron as well but that was just a big comfortable car that looked good in the golf club car park . Smooth relaxing...

@Greytop @Shamone How does the car drive? Heard RWD M3’s can raise a grin because of the drivetrain

Hell no!! They’ll be an RS4 Avant on the drive soon to compensate for having an EV :cool:

Already planned mine and I haven’t got the car yet. UK - Cologne- Vienna- Budapest for Hungary F1 2024, then Stuttgart- Brussels- UK Hotels all booked, route planned, F1 tickets sorted. :)

I’m waiting in anticipation for my M3 LR RWD. Gone for the Blue like poster above. Company car, so waiting on ALD. Our Fleet Manager said it may be a little while longer as he’s ordered 66 Tesla’s from them! 🤣

That’s what I was given by Tesla.

But if you look at this then it’s not the same as a normal RWD https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/car-leasing/tesla/model-3/saloon/long-range-rwd-4dr-auto?mileage=5000&term=48&initial_payment=9

Ha ha ha, sorry, I thought he meant Dublin in Ireland. Apologies

Do Freemont make RHD M3’s then? Would they be cars that were originally destined for Japan, Australia?

I see Est Delivery for Model 3 on the UK site is now Jan 2024 - Feb 2024.

Great write up, thanks for sharing. Wife and I have tickets for the F1 in Hungary next July so I’ve decided we are going to take my Model 3 ( should be here soon!!) Starting in Wiltshire, Calais via the tunnel then booked hotels for overnight stops in Cologne and Vienna, 4 nights in Budapest...
