The Tesla Spotted Thread

[ACarneiro]

Have you explored public charging in the Borders yet? I drive up there regularly (Hawick specifically) to visit family and charging at home is unlikely to be an option as their parking is some distance from the house and I’ve read that using extension cables can be problematic. I can perhaps “fill up” at the Gretna supercharger before driving across but wondered if there were any other public charging options close by.

There’s a rapid charger in Hawick you could use, it seems...

You’re best to have a look on Zap Map or PlugShare if you want to find third-party chargers. We did a trip up to Skye in June in the Kona without any worries.

Perfect - thanks.

Yes I need to start exploring these apps / maps for public charging. Will do so, thanks.

My nearest CCS 50kW will be Selkirk. I don't have the car until next week but anytime I've looked at that charger it has been available and the Chargeplacescotland site reports no problems ... we'll see. I may be using it from time to time as I'm on a long wait for a Zappi charger so I will be on 3 pin plug or Commando until that arrives. I think Chargeplacescotland chargers are still free in the Borders but I know they've started applying charges in Dumfries and Galloway so that may change.

My wife parked next to a black (white interior) TM3 in Basingstoke yesterday.

Any claims on this forum?

Thankfully she really liked the look of the car...

I thought that could have been me, but I was in Edinburgh on Saturday... 2 M3s in Basingstoke! Interesting...

There was a MSM LR AWD Model 3 charging at Festival Place yesterday (Monday).

 

[ACarneiro]

And a shout out to the Model Ss and Model X charging in Leeds on Monday.
Nice chatting with you guys!

Just spotted my first M3 in the wild in white on the A47. The driver’s face was beaming with joy. I’m guessing it was from the driving experience. But oh my ... his face ! Happy days!
I’m not sure if he saw me, but I did a small honk.

I must say, they do look nice on the road.

I'm sure it will clean up and not mark your upholstery!

Hopefully mine will join the clan next week. Festival place parking could be interesting on the sharp corners. I heard the turning circle of the M3 is pretty big.

I had a touching moment today when an MS waved to me (MX) and I waved back. Yet to see an M3 in central London

I don't have a problem with the turning circle - it's not an issue.

I saw a black M3 in Leicester today (8.30am - Elms Road). It was my daughter who said "it looks like our car". I had a quick glance (in my mirror) and saw them just sitting at a junction with no traffic around. They probably had the same reaction!

Apologies to that driver of the black M3. I totally missed you and i was rude not to wave

 

[PB.Brown]

Saw my first M3 on the road yesterday afternoon driving through a village called Blankney in Lincolnshire. It was going in the opposite direction so only clocked the colour- blue.
Waiting patiently but the wait is killing me, especially now that I have seen one on the road

There’s an MSM M3 parked outside an office on the Delta Business park Swindon.

Any takers?

I happen to be in the office upstairs. So by next Friday we should have 2 in the car park.

Red M3 with Aeros at the Kew Bridge junction in West London earlier today.

I was walking not in my M3 sadly!
