[Greenstar]

taking my M3 for first MOT. Am I correct if I put valet mode and speed limit I do not need to give the key card to the garage?

Just turn off pin to drive if it is on and give them the key card.

I’ve got a 2014 plate Model S and it’s failed its MoT twice now. This is a huge problem for Tesla owners. Tesla do not make parts available to anyone. My MoT garage could repair a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. But not a Tesla. So a major fail is a big big issue. Tesla don’t do MoTs. But because they don’t make parts available you have to book a repair with Tesla. Not easy as we all know as you can’t ring or email them. Meanwhile your car is off the road. Once Tesla has repaired it (and there are plenty of horror stories about Tesla “repairing” the wrong thing) you then have to take it back to the original MoT garage of course to have the car pass. To call all this a faff is to put it mildly…

If you could get it to clevely EV they could likely do both for you.

Sorry but that made me chuckle ... Why dont you tell us what it's failed on and someone might give you a tip or did you just pop back in for a rant again

Also, you have a list HERE with phone numbers and email addresses plus the app on your phone.

isn't it the case that MOT would be failed due to either tyre thread level, either lights, either brakes or chassis?
All of it, I am sure, can be repaired without tesla :/

Nonsense. You can order parts through the app and there are plenty of aftermarket replacement parts available for all Tesla models now, so there's no reason a garage can't carry out repairs.
