if it’s raining the rear camera becomes useless very quickly.any coatings like rainX etc worth trying. Or would fitting mudflaps help.

my discs look as though they aren’t wearing evenly and wondering what chance I’ve got of getting them replaced under warranty.

had a test drive today and liked it a lot. Wife however almost divorced me for suggesting I might trade my model 3 performance for one. I do like quirky cars for some unexplained reason and get bored easily.(had teslas for 3 years) Looks like I will be keeping the 3 for a while longer.

Twice now I’ve been travelling very fast on a bumpy fast sweeping bend and the car started fishtailing slightly when I lifted off the accelerator.i was shocked as I was expecting it to be glued to the road.luckily the car weaving around doesn’t get progressively worse until it’s uncontrollable...

went to my nearest 3rd party rapid chargers x2 First one occcupied .2nd one had a fault. Then went to next location 5 miles away. again fully occupied and even the slow chargers were being used. Last resort the new euro central superchargers about 5 miles further on. 12 stalls .im the only one...

my phone was at 18% then I went out of car to use a charge point which wouldn’t connect and the phone went dead which was in the car along with my key card. .i wondered why the charge port wouldn’t open then realised all doors were locked.i was stood in the rain with no shelter whatsoever. Long...

was thinking of buying this for the wife £23500 for the exclusive version. Then I found out you could buy the petrol version for £14500 So a £9000 saving . My wife only drives at most 5000 miles a year and it would take 10 years in fuel to get to the price of the electric version. Therefore is...

My neighbour has just bought a nearly new i-pace and was telling me he’s had a nightmare trying to charge it.almost every ccs charger he plugs into it comes up as a fault and very rarely connects making the car almost unusable which is a shame. He says it can’t be solved due to the car not being...

Hi folks I thought I had unlimited time to use my supercharger miles up but someone said it’s only 6 months. I done a self referral so got 2000 miles free supercharging does this extend to 12 months or still 6 months. Can anyone confirm if the above is true.

hi folks coming from a model s to a model 3 I find it a pain having to hold the fan symbol for 2 secs to turn heating off. Compared to the 1 touch on the model S. Am I missing a trick.why can’t it be a single touch for on or off. When I got the car I could not switch the heating off until I...

hi folks I was playing some arcade games the other day and then went to show someone today and the arcade icon and games are gone possibly after the latest update. Anyone else have this happen?

interested in views of swapping to a model 3 from a model S. Any regrets? Anything you miss? I met a guy who was going for a model 3 but said it was too minimalistic and ended up with a model S instead but so far he seems like the exception.

placed a custom order for a model 3 on 1st November.then saw an inventory car and phoned to swap for that .told it’s a January delivery.i asked if there was anything else I could get sooner but no.then the next day there’s exactly the same spec on inventory location Southampton.then next day...

noticed inventory M3s in black not shifting too quickly. In my opinion black and white cars should be the free colours . I can’t believe I paid £1500 for pearl white on my model S and black was free. Now pearl white is free and black is £1000 .

anyone bothered about getting their car with a 69 plate in the coming months or are you waiting for March and a new plate. I know I should probably wait until March but can’t wait that long.

Started off I wanted M3P+. Then thought maybe better off with M3LR AWD as cheaper insurance and wont have fragile 20” wheels/tyres Now I’m thinking M3SR+ as almost £9k cheaper than AWD and 90% as good. Now back to M3P+ again. anyone else Going round in circles..

im contemplating trading my model s 75D for he above but can’t decide between the models It looks like the long range has almost the same power and acceleration as my car 4.2 vs 4.4 secs although the model 3 is getting a 5 % power boost soon. The performance version is much quicker which I...

hi just noticed this message on screen which says 12v battery requires service soon. Should it not say needs replaced soon. I seem to remember reports of the 12v battery not lasting very long and can leave you stranded. Does this mean I have to book into service centre. Any info apppreciated.

hi folks Recently added basic autopilot to my model S. When driving on the motorway I’ve noticed my car sits closer to the left of the lane I’m driving in and not in the centre.is this normal? Makes overtaking large trucks a little unsettling.just a little too close for comfort. Do I need it...

Got a trade in figure from Tesla for my model S of £43000. Now toying with getting the model 3 performance now that the price has dropped to around £50000 delivered. So £7000 approx to change. Dilemma is keep what I’ve got a few more years or swap now before the refresh in sept which may cause...

As above I now have sentry mode which I wasn’t expecting as I don’t think I can get the dash cam mode.AP 2 car. Question is does anyone know if I can put a usb stick in to capture footage .the release notes don’t mention anything.

bloody hell mine seems a bargain now. cash prices £89650 basically £90000. Due to no more 75 kw battery model. Do you think they have shot themselves in the foot .too expensive now.

just browsing the tesla website and when I bought my car 1 year ago there were 2 options.rear or all wheel drive which were £60000 and. £65000 respectively. Now the base model is £71500 but when selecting cash on the menu it says £72350 any idea why the difference .the price seems to be...

hi folks as above I can now activate the trial as of today but was wondering if I can delay it until it suits me or must I enable it now. The reason is I have a long trip planned in 2 months time and it would be better to use it then. There is a I'm not interested part at the bottom of the...

went to use a charge station and the above car uses a type 2 so couldn't plug in.im used to leafs in my area using the chademo which leaves the type 2 free. Anyway had a look at the charge station screen I'm sure it said charge time 2 hours 30 minutes. Charge delivered 3.5 kw. No point waiting...

just wondering is the £310 payable for the 1st 5 years then free afterwards . or is 1st year free then you pay for the next 5 years. Or is 1st years fee incorporated into price of car so 4 more years to pay £310. Sorry if it's a dumb question.

check out my YouTube channel Tartan Tesla Just posted a 0-60 video today Be kind.

Watched the shareholders meeting and noticed Elon saying they are going to offer free trials of autopilot to owners who haven't got it. hopefully it will come with a sweetener to buy at a discounted rate.

Just watched a fully charged video of the jaguar ipace and must admit I would love to have the same sound effect in my tesla.whats the chances of Elon giving us something similar.

website says if reserved today then 12-18 months delivery.i have a 67 plate model s 75D at the moment. Is 12 months really possible if your a tesla owner just now.as your supposed to skip to front of queue. Going by teslas poor trade in values it means i would need to sell privately before...

Hi folks I didn't opt for autopilot when purchasing car. To get it now would cost me £5700 which I think is far too much especially when other cars are now catching up with the technology.i just watched a car wow video of the 2019 Mercedes A class which has it and looks identical to the tesla...

hi folks. Went to a local 43 kw charger but noticed my car was limited to 50 miles per hour which I think is 16 kw.at 24A and 240v. After a little research I've seen that some cars have a 22kw on board charger upgrade and others have 16.5 kw like mine. Am I right in thinking it's because I'm...
