Personally I would really like to do that. An Vauxhall Belmont I had decades ago had the facility to simply emit outside air that had not passed through the heating system. It was very close to the actual outside air temperature. When I look at the energy stats I am concerned to see how many...

I am trying to get my deposit back. I had been in correspondence with [email protected] about my order (and its cancellation due to no USS) but he did not reply to my request for return of deposit. I then wrote to Tesla Head Office UK 109 Devonshire Road London, W4 2AN but, again, no...

Thanks for reopening the thread. I have cancelled my order for a M3LR scheduled for March 4th because it did not have parking sensors and Tesla could not provide me (I asked) with evidence that there was a functionality in development (beta) that could replace the USS functionality with...

I am beginning to feel that way and it worries be because I am a shareholder too and am concerned about the image they project to potential customers. I was about to receive delivery of a M3LR but when I discovered it had no parking sensors I cancelled and am keeping my existing M3SR+ for the...

Tesla does not release new models like, for instance the mk 5 Golf vs the mk4 Golf. Instead there is a process of punctuated equilibrium of a single model, say the Model 3. The equilibrium is where small iterations are made to the hardware and software but nothing major. The punctuations are...

Just to offer my take on this, when I learned that USS was not going to be provided I asked several times for evidence, even on another Tesla model or with beta software that there was going to be a replacement technology that was competent using only the cameras. No evidence was provided. My...

Thanks Init6. Yes I did google it https://www.gov.uk/online-and-distance-selling-for-businesses but distance selling doesn't immediately seem relevant. As the link you provided suggests it could be contract law but I am not sure that they have a clause entitling them to change specification...

I have had a 2019 M3SR+ from new and of course it has USS parking sensors, which I use a lot. My new M3LR was due to be collected in a week. Two weeks ago I was told about the removal of USS. I asked Tesla for evidence that Tesla Vision, or any other technology, would replace the functionality...

This is the original poster person. Thanks. Yes, I agree insurance companies are lazy and just want to tick boxes, and of course they should know what the bhp is for an unmodified vehicle. From your posts it seems that it can't be 302 and so it must be 469 and since there are only two boxes to...

I am trading in my 2019 model 3 for a new long range model 3. No performance upgrade. Direct line wants to know if it is 302 bhp or 469 bhp. The figures I have been able to find are neither of these. The Tesla website does not seem to quote bhp or kW. What is the official figure please?

Thanks. The non-Tesla stalls seemed to be busy too. I am less inclined to use the non-Tesla stalls because of the payment complexity. Perhaps I should give them a go. I realised afterwards that there are superchargers at Chelmsford. I could have fully charged there and that would have got me...

I needed to get from Cheltenham to a place near Kings Lynn, then to Chelmsford and then back home to Cheltenham. I found I needed to put some manual work into planning this trip. The superchargers at Rugby and Kings Lynn were low occupancy and I could charge quickly, The Thetford supercharger...

Is there a way of bringing attention of this issue to Tesla?

Yes, indeed. The rerouting works for slowed down traffic, but not for non-existent traffic as would be the case for a road closure. I don't know the rental agreement they have. Is it with Google? If so why aren't road closures that show on Google uploaded to Tesla? Slowed down traffic is...

I drive in the UK. Right now Google Maps is clearly showing road closures that my Tesla has unwittingly got caught up in. I am disappointed that there is not a regular (i.e. more frequent than daily) download of this crucial information to the car. The routing capability of the car is able to...

I agree. To me this is the worst aspect of the new UI. Like you I used it to monitor the smoothness of my driving and consequent Watts per mile. It unobtrusively occupied only a small space beneath the car icon. It was a similar driving aid to the old fuel consumption meter in an ICE car.

There are two ways to do it. My charger, an openEVSE, has an option to set a timer from 00.30 to 04.30 and the Tesla 3 charges at 32A until it is full or it is 04.30. If my charger didn't have a timer then I would set the charge limit to 32 x 4 miles above the starting mileage. I should...

Interesting MMCFly, mine seems to be forgetfulness the other way round. I only use Scheduled Charging but the next day after a short trip it sets itself to Departure. My app says it is version 2021.36.5.8

I have a model 3 and had the new app update that allows you to specify the charging current. I also just switched to Octopus Go so I am using scheduled charging most nights. I find that I have to reset Scheduled Charging. The app sometimes switches to Departure settings, which I don't use or...

Thanks for the information. Yes, it would be too much to ask for automatic number-plate recognition and a lookup table of pure electric vehicles. That would employ fewer people. Mine is a standard range plus, so I would need to charge. It would be nice to have managed parking and charging in...

Thanks for all the replies so far. It seems like a business opportunity for somebody. The appeal of driving with my family at a time to suit us to central London without congestion charges etc. is quite a pull.

I have read some of the other threads about parking and charging in London, however I am after a simple solution that will allow me to drive in to London from Cheltenham, park my M3 somewhere close to the museums in South Kensington and pick it up in the late afternoon fully charged for the...

I was uncertain myself and I have noticed some posts illustrating other people were uncertain too about how to partition and initialise a big ssd (Samsung T5 in my case) for use both as a repository for dashcam/sentry and also for music (or language tuition in my case). So here is a screen dump...

Is it known whether the light assembly is open at the back? Presumably it must be which is why the moisture gets in. After Tesla replaced the boot seal I have been using a small dehumidifier in the boot while parked at home. This draws out about a cup of water in 24hrs. In the UK the relative...

A week ago I took mine in for fungus growth in lower boot area. My rear lights suffer condensation however I was told that there needed to be actual water, by which I presume they meant a pool of water, in the light fitting for them to consider replacement. Personally I feel that any moisture...

Leaving sentry mode on overnight seems to consume the equivalent of 10 miles of range, or 3 kWh, which seems rather a lot. I'd be grateful if other owners could confirm this is normal, thanks. I suppose several cameras are on all the time and possibly the computer cannot be shutdown to the...

The final chapter is that yesterday's visit to Tesla in Patchway, Bristol was a pleasant experience. I was phoned the day before by the nice lady who explained that they had a loan car if needed but she said it may be possible to complete the work while I waited. This is exactly what happened...

Thanks for all those replies. I don't know whether this is an overnight job, so I don't know whether to reserve a courtesy car. It will certainly mean an early morning start and coffee is the essential mid morning fuel when that happens. So, if they do lend me a courtesy car, is it then up to...

Thanks SAR. It's not just me then! I have also done as doats1 said and cross posted on the UK forum. I really do not know what to prepare for.

My model 3 is needed at the Bristol service centre to correct an issue resulting in a growth of white fungus in the lower rear boot (trunk). It might require replacement of boot seal and carpet. Initially i was told this was something a visiting technician could do but now they need me to take...

You are absolutely right. I should let Tesla fix it. It is a compulsion of mine to always be able to fix things. I must resist. However, as a point of curiosity, I have borrowed a small dehumidifier which is working at the moment in the closed lower boot section. I want to see if it can draw...

Yes, I should have kept all those silica gel packets. I will certainly put a desiccant in the lower boot. I am procrastinating about contacting Tesla right now.

Thanks both. " looks like dried up rusty water " Sorry, no, it is my carelessness in not vacuuming the dry brown dust before taking the photo. The boot (trunk) feels dry. I will take your advice. I have a 14 year old son who likes being shut in the boot for some reason, so he can help with...

I the possibilities are that the boot was left slightly open in the rain, however the rest of the boot is not damp. Neither are there signs of ingress from below. Obviously this is an area that is almost sealed off from the main boot and is not ventilated. Once there is a bit of damp, even damp...

Presumably if Tesla added the facility to remotely adjust charging current then that would appear as one of the controls in Teslafi? Is there a published API that Tesalfi use? I would ideally like to adjust the charging current from my computer that monitors solar generation. Being in the...

Mine was a hands-off purchase. I did go for a test drive in Bristol but they couldn't give me a drive in a model 3 so it was a different car. I think I had already placed a deposit for a model 3 by that stage. When it came to final purchase there were dates offered and then missed and I...

supercharging was pay for use from day 1 for me, but it was a couple of months before I did it. I suppose it is sometimes good that the UK is a small island.

Thanks, Zigway. The car was "delivered" Nov 2019. There is a Tesla document Connectivity that says that the cheap cars (UK Model 3 standard range plus) only get 1 month premium connectivity. I was not aware of this at the time of purchase. I can't find it in any contractual document.

Thanks toolman. I have had this reply back from Tesla: " They have advised as your car doesn’t have Premium Interior nor Long Range so is only eligible for 30 days of Premium Connectivity trial. It looks like this customer received an extra 5 months of trial, but this shouldn’t have been the...

Could you please tell me whether you have 6 months premium connectivity or 1 year, and how you were informed of that by Tesla. Thanks

To be honest, I had just assumed premium connectivity lasted for a year. I must have just read it somewhere and assumed it applied universally. I have just looked in my "Motor Vehicle Order Agreement" and it says nothing about connectivity. Nothing in either the booking invoice nor final...

When I go to the home page for my car in tesla.com and click on "details" I get the following information:((( Car Details Specs Standard Range Plus Rear-Wheel Drive All Black Interior Pearl White Multi-Coat 18’’ Aero Wheels Autopilot Pay Per Use Supercharging Subscriptions Standard...

I have taken your advice, but it obliges me to choose a time and a date. I do not really want to have to be in Birmingham early in the morning on Sept 15th for a software issue.

Thanks. I don't really feel I need a service appointment. As you say, it may be a subscription issue. In truth I don't really know what is involved with a service appointment and I don't really want to drive to Birmingham. I am reporting what I think has been a misleading run-around by Tesla...

I don't think it should need a service appointment. It is simply that premium connectivity stopped working after 6 months and I had thought it should last for a year. The Tesla staff don't appear to know.

I have an issue with my 8 month old Model 3. I phoned customer service 01628 450660. I spoke to Sharon. She advised me to email [email protected]. I did this but the email was returned saying Tesla does not accept emails to that address from non-Tesla employees. I phoned 01628 450660 again and this...

I'm in the UK and bought directly from Tesla Nov 2019. My understanding was that premium connectivity should last a year from the date of purchase. Mine stopped approximately after 6 months. Tesla Uk support Birmingham were uncertain but thought it should last for a year. They told me to email...

I can find Go Anywhere | Tesla but the cars don't include my Tesla which is the Uk spec slightly extended range one (250 miles approx). I'd like to plan a trip without actually being in the car. I presume I am missing something. Can somebody please enlighten me?

VW performance pack GTI 245 bhp 2018 It was fast BUT only when the turbo was spinning and the 7 speed DSG was in the right gear. By comparison the M3 is effortless to drive and reliable in its response and actually handles very well along twisty bends. I'm still acclimatising to the shift of...
