Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

New farm truck. Should get around the place a bit quicker now!
We collected the above from the NEC on the 2nd of September. Everything was perfect other than the number plates needed centring, which they sorted there and then. (The number plate mounts must be one of Elon’s jokes, surly)
Did a 232 mile round trip from Leicester to North Wales on the 3rd. Started with 100% battery and got home with 20% left. Impressed with that.
We are really happy with pretty much everything, including the suspension. The phone app is light years ahead of BMW’s i3 app.
The negatives?
Such a massive screen, but tiny font size. Why?
The DAB radio interface is pathetic. Our 8 year old i3 is much better.
No alternative route options in the navigation. Really miss that. I wish all manufacturers would just use Waze and stop wasting money developing their own.
Oh, and it doesn’t half shift!

The fonts have all got smaller over the last 3 years. Which is annoying since my eyesight is going the other way.
Elon is 50 though so i am expecting the fonts to start getting bigger again soon....

I’ve already had to get a pair of bifocals with reading magnification at the bottom and clear glass at the top. 
Hit 201Wh/mi today on a 200 mile drive.. very pleased. Hoping to stay above 4mi/kWh for winter!

Why? My 2021 SR+ was returning 4 to 4.5 during winter driving last year. Everyone will get different consumption based on journey length, environmental factors and driving style. But 4mi/kWh is certainly not out of the question in winter.
In 12 months and 10,000 miles I’ve managed 4.76 as an average. Mixed commuting and longer A road runs to family visits. I’m easily bettering 5 this summer.

You are comparing an M3SR+ to an MYLR.
I can immediately think of 300 reasons why that is not a fair comparison.
250wh/m in an MY in winter seems unlikely to be consistently achieved by most people. Certainly not in normal commuting and not even on long journeys I fancy unless you drive very slowly with the heat turned off.

Ah good point. my original "winter is coming" comment was to a new MY owner. but you are right the follow up 4 miles per kw in winter was from an M3RWD owner.

I’ll be honest, my driving style, environment and use seems to suit the SR+
I’m excited to see what I get from my MYLR which may come this winter. I’m anticipating 3-4, winter to summer.

I would agree most will be in that range but it is quite a range 250-333wh/m
Sounds about right to me given variability of temperature, terrain, rain and especially wind strength/direction.
Vin 411 is 20th July build, a day or 2 after reopening the production line. Any earlier VIN is likely pre shut down prior to the rumoured change with suspension.
Does anyone have a MY with a newer VIN than 411 who can comment on the suspension. I have a feeling not many will just yet as I think post production line upgrades are were on Companion. Would be great to hear if anyone does.

I’m 418 but I’ll not know for two weeks ….Vin 411 is 20th July build, a day or 2 after reopening the production line. Any earlier VIN is likely pre shut down prior to the rumoured change with suspension.

Something makes me think post production line upgrades were first on Glovis Companion. There is a chance none of them cars have been given out yet.
