    When I got my Model 3 I thought, I'll be one of the cool kids as there's not many of them about...

    Well it seems there are a couple more Model 3 owners that I'd originally thought which is good, it means the pace of the EV revolution in Leicestershire is gathering pace! So I thought I'd start a thread for the Leicester/Leicestershire owners.

    A friend of mine also owns an M3P and we're talking about arranging a meet soon, socially distanced of course - and it def won't be at ASDA or McDonalds at Fosse Park!

    Lol, I bet you just read the Calling all NOTTINGHAM Tesla drivers... thread.

    A meet might be fun to see the faces behind the avatars. Just hope you allow the poor owners to join you although I do have red paint and a tow bar as well as two wall connectors! :p

    Hi All,

    I'm also leicestershire (kibworth to be precise) and had my M3P since the back end of last year and had only ever seen 1 other owner in harborough.

    I've seen 3 or 4 owners in my village alone.

    I'd be interested in a gathering and if anybody see's me feel free to say hi

    MXLR owner since last month, in the east of the county.

    Seeing loads of M3s about!

    I see no progress on the supercharger site at Leicester Forest East. Such a shame as it's a great location for one!

    There's my white M3P in Whetstone once a week whilst visiting a friend, however I do live/travel from Birmingham. Did live in Leicester for several years so feel slightly qualified
