    Confused about model type - dealer supplying wrong information (UK)

    Had one of these in the UK. it's a Raven - a proper Raven. However, it has a 75Kwh pack (usable about 71kwh). Range is 250 miles real world, maybe a bit more if you're careful. It will only charge at 140kw, and they're quite fast having the Model 3 motor in the front and a much lighter battery...

    Don't buy a model Y now...

    Highland 3 in Aus do not have USS.. Model Y did for a while, I agree. The updated Y now being sold in China also does not have USS. I cannot imagine these changes to Y are not coming to all cars made in Shanghai as they are clearly a mini refresh to keep the Y fresh before Juniper and also align...

    Driver seat creases in bolster

    Common on Model Y - a combination of having to sit on the bolster when getting in and out and the fact that to sit straight on the pedals and steering wheel (I find at least), you have to sit more on the right hand side of the seat..

    Don't buy a model Y now...

    Well, Chinese configurator shows newer cars now - https://www.tesla.cn/modely/design#overview ones landing now are the old type, but Tesla rarely run two separate configs at the same factory (in fact, I don't think they ever have). it's not the same across factories - for instance the different...

    Don't buy a model Y now...

    Don't buy one at the mo anyway - incoming Y Shanghai update will have the new wheels and ambient interior lighting (as well as removal of the wood dash)

    windscreen chip - worth replacing?

    I used Optikleer recently (google them) £55 and you can barely see it - no need to report to the insurance.

    Anyone received HW4 in UK?

    The LHD S and X delivering at the moment have HW4, not the Shanghai built 3 and Y (yet).. but it won't be far off

    I have a set of Geminis, refinished in black no scuffs etc and no tyres. Do you still need them?

    Model Y standard range for UK - will it happen

    Yep - the Model S and X had significant cuts in 2018 just before the 3 arrived to help bolster sales. IIRC the Model S P100D went down by around £30k overnight..

    Anyone in the UK 'upgraded' their Model Y suspension?

    I sold my Y on 19s after 5 weeks. Went back to a 3. The ride is too hard and for our needs, the 3 is the better car.

    Is PPF and Ceramic worth it?

    Tesla sell a PPF kit for the rockers / wheel arch (why its not included from the factory heaven only knows!) but its always out of stock and not self healing. there are kits on eBay for self fitment or a detailer will do it for around £200

    Protecting Drivers internal B pillar

    its a guess based on some trim parts I've purchased in the past - generally Tesla parts are surprisingly cheap
  13. HKP_Tom

    Protecting Drivers internal B pillar

    That piece of trim is probably less than £100 from Tesla to replace?

    New Model 3 White got Keyed - only 5 days old.

    Any decent body shop will fix that. £400-500 I'd estimate. Don't bother with a smart repair on the bonnet - the angle of it, you'll always see it. They're OK on a bumper down low, especially on a non-metallic colour. They may need to blend into the wings, or may get away with it as the paint is...

    Model Y Long Range - which headlights?

    Mine does - identical to my Model 3 matrix headlights.

    M3 P rear spoiler

    Mine is actually made in Mexico!

    M3 P rear spoiler

    OEM is £779 - real CF, matte on the outside, forged on the inside, doesn't fit very well 😂

    Model Y headlights different between LR and P in UK?

    Isn't it just to show the car sits a little lower (and therefore the light hits the headlights differently?)

    Jack point damage M3

    Yep, they will get bent up a bit - heavy cars and small piece of aluminium. As long as they jack them on those points, no probs, the damage is purely cosmetic.

    Norwich Tesla owners did you collect from Cambridge or they delivered?

    Chelmsford did deliveries for a very short period, but don't now. The site is too small.

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

    It'll depend if it had a quality issue at production (like a rattle). It will go for rework then be test driven more comprehensively.

    If not this Tesla what?

    Not really a bad belief IMO

    Email from Tesla? - Action Required for Personal Contract Purchase

    I had this today - it's a mistake - see email from Tesla today: Hi XXX, yes indeed, please disregard the email. This shouldn't have gone out to you. We had some IT releases this week, which probably threw a spanner in the works. Our apologies for the confusion! Kind regards, Alex Tesla...

    New Model 3 [matrix] Headlights - adjust for LHD countries?

    retrofittable - very likely yes - codeable? I doubt it, a bit like when I fitted fog lights to my Model S that didn't have them from the factory!

    What is the frunk called in England?

    Frunk here too. The one at the back is the boot. Albeit some Brits will still insist on calling it the bonnet, even though it has storage, not an engine in there!

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    To answer my earlier question (and Hansshow pre-sales are dreadful), the RHD 2021 DIY Harness DOES have rear speaker connections. So if I add my old 2019 rear shelf to my 2021, then I should be able to connect the rear shelf speakers too. On my old 2019, the DIY harness did kill the bass from...

    Can anyone confirm if the DIY kit for 2021+ cars has wires for rear shelf speakers?

    Model 3 glass roof broken

    I suppose better in some ways that it broke the glass, rather than dented the steel roof which would have been a pain to have fixed. Rather than speak to Tesla, try some local auto glazing firms who would likely change it at half the cost.

    Chat anything Model 3

    Nice pic of the Bluewater car park Sunderland... I'm off there on Friday (on the bus) to pick up our 3rd M3!! 1st was a Aug 19 M3P, that got sold in June 2020 when we got a MIA M3 SR+ (my OH said the P was too fast). We sold that for what we paid for it last week and pick up a MIC SR+ :-)

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    I think I'm an edge case with a 2021 SR+ and a 2019 rear shelf with speakers 😂

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    I spoke to hansshow and am still none the wiser regarding if I can add a DIY lead to a 2021 and use the rear shelf speakers from my 2019 which I took out...!

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    So I'll need a 2020 DIY lead?

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    because I have a 2019 shelf in my old SR+ I'm selling. Was wondering about swapping it into the 2021
  38. HKP_Tom

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Does anyone know if the 2019 rear shelf with speakers can be added to a 2021 car? If so, what DIY lead would you need to wire them up? Thanks!

    New Model 3 owner

    Welcome Oli! You won’t regret it at all. My wife is not a car person at all but loves hers! I can’t promote mine of course, but hopefully you used a referral code when ordering to get some free supercharging? Also, Tesla often have inventory cars available faster?
