    30 hour wait for recovery. Lessons learnt.

    I think it is a fundamental flaw that a car with several KWs of reserve power can go down just because the 12v battery died. Also have to agree with @Llama. that the lack of any prior warning or indications is worrying. Can this happen while driving ? If so I'd say it is a safety risk...

    Sentry Mode works

    I think someone has to take the initiative to create a UK wide forum or thread for Sentry mode clips to help owners track these crimes and help victims report them to relevant authorities.

    Energy Savings Trust loan for Model 3

    I think the automated credit history check will involve address verification so technically will not be possible to claim residency in Scotland if that is not the case.

    Model 3 Performance - without performance pack vs with performance pack

    Me too. Maybe we are not a rare breed after all.

    Teslas And Cold Weather

    I expect quite a big impact just by keeping car garaged overnight rather than parked outside - the garage itself doesn't have to be heated. If the car is not directly exposed to the outside elements, the preheating phase should be efficient.

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Yes sorry it is a day 1 reservation - Brain fail after all these years waiting. Black interior, no trade in, cash, vin in final invoice.

    Vendor I am considering making UK/RHD Model 3 carpets/floor mats. Interested?

    I'd buy all weather mats but will have to be a laser tight fit. Otherwise water can sip through and cause corrosion underneath. I'm looking to keep my car for at least 6 years.

    Taken delivery of a P- ?

    Just wanted to check whether anyone in the UK has taken delivery of a P- . If so does it come with a red underlined dual motor badge? There is some speculation that P- is just an AWD with SW unlock.

    Best energy tariffs

    I'm hoping to change to people's energy Affordable energy with profits returned to customers | People's Energy but it is a small company and customer service is weak I hear. Eventually hope to get an E7 meter installed and get their E7 tariff. Also worth having a look at bulb Bulb - Making...

    Toyota's confusion

    Toyota has invested in Hydrogen long term so giving up now will do no good. Going fully EV is therefore not an option either not to mention the shame. Toyota will be okay for the next decade selling hybrids to the world but if they cannot establish hydrogen as a profitable business by the end of...

    Very sorry to hear this and glad the occupants are okay. Thanks for sharing the footage.

    Here's a good performance goal for the Model 3 Ludicrous

    Technically speaking Performance Model 3 doesn't really have to outclass M3 or M5 in every metric. Five to ten years from now I predict Tesla will grab 95% or more of that market specifically the performance minded buyer who doesn't have the time or the desire to bother about how track worthy a...

    Here's a good performance goal for the Model 3 Ludicrous

    Why should a comfortable, spacious family EV sedan that is already the best seller in its segment aim to beat a crammed up bone breaking noisy sports car that might sell a few thousand at most ? Tesla Model 3's main competition is BMW 3. Model 3 AWD P 's main competition is BMW M3 M5 and other...

    Tesla updates delivery timelines for new orders

    Yes that's right, there is just one continent in this world and only two countries in it. It does not matter whether other local eV incentives run out in other places around the globe or whether you are an avid fan who preordered early. As long as fed tax credit is maximised in the one and only...

    Why I gave up and bought a Prius Prime

    >> Gave up and bought a Prius Prime A wise decision I say. Way better than going for a noisy polluting ICE in this day and age. Not sure what the fuss is really, Hybrid, PHEV, EV - they are all in the same team whether one is prepared to accept it or not. Don't forget, ICE is the REAL opponent.

    Model 3: First 100 Miles Impressions from a P85D Owner

    I think it comes down to margins. Until Tesla is able to make as much money from a Model 3 P version as they do now with MS P100D, and they sort out production bottlenecks, we are unlikely to see Model 3 performance versions on the road. Of course Tesla may start talking about the performance...

    Jaguar I-PACE vs TM3

    Competition is good. Tesla has a few things to learn from how Jaguar is introducing ipace globally. I wish Jaguar all the best and hope they eat up a good part of the EV market across the pond. Sometimes lessons are only learnt the hard way.

    Model 3 vs Mclaren 720s at dragstrip vid!!

    I don't feel bad at all. Quite the contrary as these macho racer cars have had to prove the need for their existence and they have had to race against family cars to do that - what a desperate position are they in. Actually a Model S P100DL+ will probably beat it with today's tech. When Roadster...

    Model 3 UK Preorders!

    Anyone noticed the Model 3 page now says RHD production in 2019 whereas it used to be RHD deliveries starting in 2019. Instead it now says International LHD deliveries start in 2019. It's been a 2 year wait so far, looks like there might be another 2 years for RHD.

    Even more discussions about Model 3 and Tesla competition

    I think Tesla taken as a whole has no direct competition when you look at their roadmap and their ability to innovate ground up. However, if Nissan can bring their IMX to production early especially in international markets, they can grab a good chunk out of the EV market.

    Worst Delivery Ever

    Can imagine the frustration. Hopefully, it will all be sorted soon. You are still very lucky to get your car way ahead of us.

    How long before a better replacement batteries will be available?

    I think a more practical option might be for Tesla to start offering refurbished battery packs with a warranty. Imagine if after 8 years, a model 3 can be sold on with a battery carrying a decent warranty.

    If the M3 was an ICE vehicle how would it compare?

    I already own a Hybrid so ICE is a no go irrespective of how good it is - don't want to go backwards. Actually, if you think about it, Model 3 proportions will not accommodate an ICE drivetrain so OP's question is not valid to start with. Can you imagine a steam powered BMW 3 series ? We may...

    Model 3 Friendly Chase by Roadster

    We need both parties to be present in the discussion to make a proper judgement. Otherwise it's a one sided story. To me, the Model 3 looks effortless .

    speculations - what will M3 do to MS used market?

    This is a difficult one to predict and will depend largely on the Model 3 ramp up and how reliable the early Model 3s turn out to be. Best case scenario will mean higher depreciation for used MS, worst case will mean Model S and X will hold their value well. If MS revision 2 turns out to be...

    Spaceship like controls in Roadster meant for Model 3?

    Actually, I prefer the normal steering wheel. The Roadster's controls would have looked really out of place in a family sedan. The Model 3 has turned out to be one heck of a feature packed car folks why are we still yearning for more?

    November delivery of my Model 3

    But did you think about where all these dollars come from ? The funding pipe carrying all the dollars into the factory, what if that runs dry. X or not X does not matter to investors who look at the bigger picture, the products in the pipeline i.e. the long term road map. It's a delicate...

    November delivery of my Model 3

    Elon is not just another businessman. That's a far too simplified view of the world, of Tesla and the tech industry. Sorry.

    Anonymous gross income poll of M3 reservation holders

    We are more likely to see exaggerated claims unless it is the taxman asking in which case it will probably be half the actual earnings. At the end, it is just a bunch of numbers, right?

    Why did you cancel your Model 3 reservation?

    The problem with that argument is that Toyota should have had an EV right now if they want to talk about diverse technologies. See I'm probably the biggest Toyota fan you will find around here. We have two Toyota hybrids in our household and I spent the last 7 years (2009 - 2016) in Toyota...

    Speculation: Model 3 European pricing

    Okay so technically we are still in the EU :) so here is my prediction for the UK. This is based on working out the US-to-UK conversion factor of 0.9 obtained from current Model S pricing. Depending on currency exchange rate variation expected, this can change a bit so I would think a factor of...

    My prediction on Model 3/Tesla

    But Tesla Model 3 IS my ideal car because I don't think there is anything I'd change about it and because I cannot see myself getting any other car.

    Two totally different cars. Model 3 is my ideal car in every way, Panamera T is not even on my radar - not my cuppa tea.

    M3OC's In-Depth Look Video (1:10hr long, very thorough)

    'e class territory' means absolutely nothing unless the buyer is trying to decide between a Model 3 and a similar spec ICE. I can guarantee for a majority of those of us here, ICE is not an option. To me, M3, A4, and e-class represents a bygone era technology and design-wise which is no longer...

    LR model range being undersold and more!

    At the Model 3 reveal event, I think Elon said the base version will have at least 215 miles real world range. To that end, I think Tesla has reached the point that they are confident enough to quote real world figures rather than hide behind EPA ratings like other manufacturers do. May I...

    Blog TMC Member Offers a Review From Behind the Wheel of a Model 3

    Hilarious when we see this sort of comments. The Model 3 interior is in a totally different league IMO, Tesla is not trying to copy losers. Just wait till you get your car, experience it and then report back on your own overall experience. Not what others say or speculate.

    Besides SCN, what features (or lack of in 3 ) would make u jump ship from a 3 to a competing brand?

    Same here. Any indication of further delay beyond "Early 2019", will start looking for alternatives. Absolutely. Can imagine the challenge scaling production overseas but this is just taking us for a joke.

    [Media Mistake - False] No FM, Bluetooth, or USB Audio either?

    I'd be happy if it has a USB port to plug a flash drive with a collection of tracks. A £30 128GB drive is enough these days to hold a good number of tracks even 16/44 lossless compressed so why bother with anything else.

    Implications of possible Intel 5G on Model 3

    IMO its just part of the normal roadmap to accommodate ever increasing data bandwidth requirements. With S, X, 3, Y and Semi on the way, can you imagine how busy the Tesla network is going to be overall so best to start looking at tackling the bottlenecks expected..

    2018 Leaf vs Model 3

    Agree fully. Plus never thought I'd have to put it this way but I really hope Tesla gets a real good beating in Europe and elsewhere with Gen 2 Leaf - not everyone wants or cares about performance or aesthetics as we do so the 2018 Leaf is going to be a great alternative to the Model 3. There...

    Any non-employee get to configure their Model 3 yet?

    So Tesla is giving higher priority to US pre orders being made as of today over and above those of us international folk who pre ordered over 18 months ago pre/at reveal. What a disgrace really. Talk about being fair.

    Guesses on "token of appreciation" for line waiters tweeted by Elon Musk

    It's been 18 months since we pre-ordered, at this point I cannot imagine how a gift will make any difference whatsoever TBH. And add to that, for us its another 18 month wait, 3+ years in total - that's our gift for being a fan across the pond.

    Model 3 wagon

    Why do people keep trying make Tesla designs look common and average? I just don't get it. Model 3 has shown that Tesla will always start from a clean sheet and with no legacy ICE design constraints to deal with, the outcome is often very original. If its still difficult to understand this...

    [POLL]Would you want your Tesla to turn AC/heat ON when you're in range?

    It should be possible determine mobile phone location either with gps or mobile signal triangulation. To locate car, you'd want to know gps coordinates. So we don't need to always think in terms of near field communications to determine proximity. Having said all that however I think the...
