Finally got 18" ION Evo's on, efficiency looks good so far on a 100 mile trip yesterday, and they are quieter (but I always find new tyres quieter than fully worn old ones)

Well, my 4 iON Evo turned out to be 1 iON EVO and 3 Ventus ION S.... Ventus ION S IK01 21V38 Made in Korea iON Evo IK01 22W58 Made in Hungary The tread looked the same, both are Treadwear 320, traction AA, temperature A - this seems to be discussed a few times on the forum that its a rebrand of...

6 weeks later... finally managed to get hold of the Hankook IO Evo in 18", at least Tyre place tell me in stock tomorrow not seen them yet. The new Pirellie PZero E look good as well, but like the Hankook seem unobtainable... P Zero E - Car tyre | Pirelli

I missed the pic was R20, I am looking at 18... my error there.

That pic is interesting, as the PS5's are E economy and the PS4's are D, currently the PS5's are listed as C efficiency and the PS4's as B - so they must have updated them since then. Michelins are good, but compromise wear for performance. If it was a lighter car I think I would go PS4's...

Thanks, that's pretty definitive! Still 3 in stock, will try again next week, if they are EU made I hope for more stock sooner than later.

I always find worn tyres, especially those almost completely worn out are much nosier than new tyres, every time I have had tyres fitted the car has sounded quieter driving home - but I don't disagree that the iON Evo must be quieter because the EU labels say 69db and all the other tyres are...

Yeah I think they might be 1 tyre out, I called them and the stock is network wide, also no one else seems to have any (unless you want to pay £50 a corner more). You said Hungary, were they marked Hungary? Only the Hankook website says Korea: https://www.hankooktire.com/uk/en/tire/ion/evo.html...

Did you buy them all? Need a set of 4 tyres (at just under 23K, and didn't realise they were so low until cleaning tar off the bodywork at the weekend) and the Hancook iON Evo seem to be the ones to have right now. I usually use a local place part of ProTyre, didn't let me order online called...

I found somewhere with a great price on batteries but no inverters… suspicious…

You my friend, are living the dream! Getting hold of anyone is a nightmare, the best ones will have the courtesey to tell you they are too busy with customer orders they took they can't fulfil as they are waiting batteries, and they are stretched to get them all done when they do have the...

I was not aware of that, and having ploughed through many screens of “purchase” managed to sign up for one year £0 to the service docs and find the headlight alignment, thanks very much!

Hopefully included as the shop does not have the granny charger and no longer seems to list the amazing value £100 7.5m type 2 cable any more, just the 4m short one you get with the car. Was in the shop as happened upon the comment on the previous page the centre console trays were back in...

had the same, disabled Spotify and tidal as sources and got back ability to scroll left/right through radio stations if that helps - seems part of the smokescreen attempts to push streaming up front as they can’t make car play work

Is the service info available, even for LHD? Our M3LR came with terrible adjustment, dangerously so I would argue, on unlit country roads you had hardly any illumination on the road ahead. I just aimed it at the garage and bought the drivers side up a bit, but there is clearly some process or...

can I ask where you see it for that price? Seems to be £449 on their website: Westfalia Bikelander with LED lights Towball Mounted Tilting 2 Bicycle Carrier | Westfalia

So when I collected in November they actually gave me a tow bar just before I left when I asked, then phonesd and said I can’t use it. Mobile service came last week and fitted the one I was given, declared it fine and left in 10 minutes. Why could they have not done that 4 months ago?! Not...

Think its next week some time, need to check that actually to make sure the Mrs does not disapear with the car!

I have appointment in mid March for mobile service to bring the tow bar… let’s see if it arrives! 3 months without bike carrier - not really great service

Sounds like another month to wait…

Still waiting, still no update from Tesla…

The Westfalia one on the M3 reminds me of the removable on the Discovery 3 - which are rated to 3.5T I am pretty sure the 1T M3 is no problem. 13 pin plugs are pretty easy to 1/4 turn to lock in place, the fiddly bit can be holding the socket sprung cap out of the way in my experience which...

Still waiting here, one reply from Tesla it will be posted and that’s it no replies since. Need to go back and read terms of the contract, I paid for it and they haven’t supplied it…

Tesla not replied to my latest email asking for update, chasing chasing…

unlikely on a plastic bumper…

Ok not sure how BlueM3SR got on, but I got a reply from Tesla by email: Seems to imply it's the bar that's a concern... and they just need to send them out.

The red looks lovely :) much nicer at Thorpe park than Southampton, the lighting in the Tesla tent looks great for checking the paint as well 👍

I would suggest to stay away from any sort of plug in monitor as an FYI. An EV pulls a constant 10A (not 13A, as BS1363 UK plugs are rated to 13A for short periods like the kettle not for prolonged periods which is why its 10A). I would not trust any plug in device with that sort of prolonged...

Can happily report I am now motoring in "British English" (in my chinese built American car). Seems to want to download a map update now, not sure it managed before the wife nipped out lunchtime, will have to look at the WiFi to see how much data is chewing (not that its capped) but it does...

That seems unlikely? Tesla-info pulls all that spec from the system and the VIN surely Tesla can too! I also have the sub-frame and the 13pin electrical connection, its all well tucked away so good for not catchng it on something but not soo good for crawling in a puddle to connect it!

I am only aware of one hitch for Model 3, which is the Witter sourced removable one? Southampton, I am wondering now if they were taking them OUT of the car - you will probably know more first if your booked for mobile service tomorrow! EDIT: Are you booked mobile service, or having to go...

This is incorrect. Put your postcode in and check: Octopus Energy Smart meter and giving them 30 minute readings are mandatory to have the tariff. Even the on-peak is better than their current variable, which is what I was on before as my fixed deal had ended. Usually would charge the Leaf...

It’s a Westfalia one, I am wondering if it’s on the car end, or there is a software issue or something else? As usual the person calling was vague and it was hard to tell if they were elusive or just none the wiser!

Thanks, I am also thinking log something in the app, they did originally tell me the service centre would be in touch as they were short of parts, but I did wonder if a bad batch of tow bars. I did “like” your post but clearly I don’t like your post! At least I am not alone any more!

Octopus GO is what you want, you need a smart meter though. Does TMF allow the referal codes in signature? You both get £50 with a referal code so use that if you know someone with Octopus.

Tow bar fitting is there with wiring, no problems there (also have tow mode on the screen).

So collected M3 LR with tow bar option Saturday - no tow bar in the car. Raised this with the people onsite and they said there was supply issue and they didn't have any, would be sent onwards, went to inspect the car etc etc - came back to sign and mentioned it was the only problem (aside...

The supplied cable is 15ft/4.6m - would not suprised if its specced in feet! The Tesla store has a 7.5M one for £100, as these are premium cables with Menikis connectors and I believe fully wired for 3 phase if the charge point supports that's a bit of a bargain. If you have a home charge point...

@Pabloscot ours was fine, and so were all the other cars at Southampton that I walked past (cause I can't help myself from looking ☺️) So far the only negative I found after washing it today to get yesterday's muck off is that numberplate holders are ugly and stupid - but I can see how they...

Thanks for tip, sounds like poor experience for you? I have not driven the car in the rain yet but seemed to work for the wife on the way back from Southampton - I have read the camera based system is easily confused. I assume our car came off one of the two ships last weekend, so pacing seems...

I was quite impressed with paint so far, and their prep seemed good as lots rain today and all the cars were beading nicely. will still wash it tomorrow and if it warms up (or I get it in the garage with a heater!) might polish the main areas and rainx the windscreen and roof.

I was at Southampton today to pickup, can confirm NABUCCO arrived and was going to unload, the reps at the “Tesla tent” mentioned it.

Very disappointing collection at Southampton today’s could not find anything wrong with the car to moan about on the internet! Luckily spotted some black grubby marks on the (white drivers seat), phew, forums are safe again. Tip for those with tow bar, not in the car I was told there was...

The Churchill (and seemingly identical direct line) websites were super flaky we found, my current car is with Axa and their system is far superior!

Annakin, Trinity has the higher ground….

^^^ This guy has his priorities right 😁 Southampton seems to have the most relaxed setup from the pics - find out tomorrow!

Loving the pics, shame about the paint on the grey one I hope they sort it for you.

It is all based on time saving - picking up from Southampton specifically as no transporter needed! insurance is all a pyramid scheme by the way - thought of the day! (arguing with current provider who won’t cover the 13 days from collections until policy renewal is due…)

I took an uneducated punt! Collecting 27th, still not sure which ship it rolled in on, I am hoping Viking Ocean, as unloading Helios Ray completly in the dark sounds more risky to me! Looks like she Sails 5am tomorrow based on Southampton link from Mr Miserable so I bet they are busy right now…

Dave - run a few quotes from we buy any car and cazoo etc, prices are stable or increasing it seems. Tesla must be busy with the two ships rolling in, not had answer to my email about cancelling trade in and paying the trade in instead… off to look at threads on insurance and checklists… must...
