I stumbled across Tesla in 2013. Firstly seeing Model S test drive reactions in the US and then following up on this guy called Elon Musk. I watched a few videos of him giving talks (such as to the Royal Society in the UK). I was telling my family at dinner about this amazing electric car and...

It took me two weeks to find a comfortable driving position in my Model Y. The problem was with the lumbar adjustment. The controls are not intuitive and it seemed that the lumbar support never deflated properly into a neutral position once either the upper or lower support had been inflated. It...

Just ordered Long Range in Grey with black interior and FSD to replace my 2019 Blue Model 3 LR

I'm in the UK and received a message from Tesla an hour ago saying that my supercharging account doesn't have a valid payment method. My credit card details seemed to have disappeared from the system. This was followed by a second e-mail from Tesla saying that my Tesla Supercharging Access is...

Ask and ye shall be given.... Looks like a solution - just made available in the Model S OTA update 2020.32.1 in the US CAR LEFT OPEN NOTIFICATIONS A mobile notification will be sent if the trunk, the front trunk, or any door is left open for over ten minutes. If all doors and trunks are...

How do you enable this?

This is a real issue and compromises passive entry. The worst case is if the car appears to lock (beeps horn, folds mirrors etc) but actually isn't locked. This shouldn't be allowed to happen. In the case where the car doesn't signal that it is locked when you walk away but you don't notice...

I have the honk thing set too, but sometimes its easy to get distracted. I've tweeted Elon with the suggestion to get an alert from the app if it happens. Long shot, but hey.

I think this is very probably what happened. If the car can't be maliciously unlocked then it most probably remained unlocked when outside of bluetooth range. The alternative explanation, that the phone was too close to the car from inside the house and therefore unlocked it has not been proved...

Thanks for the replies. At least no one is suggesting that passive entry can be compromised, which is what most concerned me. So it is in all probability a). And yes, parking here is expensive. Four hours down by the river cost me £7.50 today. Paid for by phone!

I have had my Tesla Model 3 for just over a year now (LR Dual Motor). I live in Twickenham and the car is parked overnight directly in front of my house. There has never been any security issues until this week when I discovered that all the change I keep in the storage box in the central...

I had a similar noise at high speeds. Took it in for service and they knew what it was straight away - a loose hose which fed water to the windscreen wipers had not been clipped in properly at the factory. Took 30 secs to fix.

Does the rattle only happen at higher speeds? I had a similar issue which turned out to be a loose hose (which feeds water to the windscreen wipers) which had not been clipped in correctly at the factory. Took 30 seconds to identify and fix at the service centre.

I guess getting my car in July had its advantages....they drove it to my home!

I was obviously lucky....and they do look great!

Do you have any idea of your range and/or efficiency, especially on those longer runs? I just make sure i've got plenty of slack - usually the car is charged to about 290 miles. Plenty to get there and back to Bristol. The car is very good at calculating remaining range once it knows the...

Happy to reply. I've had my LR AWD Model 3 almost exactly a month, having previously driven mostly German cars. What has delighted you? Firstly, the driving experience. The car accelerates and decelerates at startling speed. It can take a bit of getting used to but it's very enjoyable at both...

A bit of feedback after owning a Model 3 LR AWD for just over a week. Overall I love the car - I 'm not really a car guy but I'm very impressed with how the car handles. Getting used to instant torque and full regenerative breaking took bit of time - it speeds up and slows down much faster than...

Yes

I originally ordered the red but switched to blue and don't regret it. Picture snapped in hazy conditions. The guy who brought my car actually works in press relations but it's all hands to the pump atm. He said that Elon had been in West Drayton last week to review the delivery experience...

It's here! More later.

Deep Metallic Blue 19" Sports Wheels All black premium interior FSD Reserved 31/3/16 Ordered 1/5/19

So I got a call from Tesla this morning. I was due to pick up my LR AWD Model 3 on Friday but a very nice lady said that as my car is ready, and as I have paid for it already and live 5 miles from Heathrow they will deliver it to my house tomorrow. (Apparently they are running out of space at...

Just to clarify - my invoice number is 991 Full config is: Deep Metallic Blue 19" Sports Wheels All black premium interior FSD

LR AWD here - collecting it next Friday from Heathrow. RN starts 1079xxxx

Just got the text - collecting LR AWD from London Heathrow on the 28th June at 12 noon. Reserved 31/3/16, ordered on order opening day. Obviously a quarter end push is what's occurring.

Spoke to Tesla in the Netherlands. Looks like the UK cars are in San Francisco waiting to be loaded aboard their ship. I was told to expect delivery between the last week of June to the third week of July. VIN should be generated in the next couple of weeks.

Just been contacted by Tesla regarding my UK delivery date...reserved 31st March 2016. I must be near the front of the queue - LR AWD FSD Model 3

Everything taking longer than he forecasts, always. It's a scandal and it has a name - ELON GATE

I think I'm first in line.......
