[JohnnyMiller]

Seems the model x is a tool of choice for the dark side....or at least it is at longbridge Birmingham! anyone here? love to know what’s going on there lol

Shout out to the chap who is getting his white M3 in Oct who I meet at Halfords, Leicester today he seemed really excited and can not wait for his! He keeps seeing mine

Also the beautiful white MX P100D tonight near fosse park

 

[SKing]

Crikey , what an odd thread ! head to my kids schools ( Warwick or Princethorpe College, and you will see six or seven Model S and X amongst the respective drop off/ collect queues! (That’s in JLR “heartland” Would arguably be nice to see more iPace?)

I've seen two on UK roads (one MSM, one black), both in Midlothian, heading south from Edinburgh on the A701.

Pottering around Letchworth Garden City in my new blue model 3, confident in the knowledge I'm the only M3 in the village... then look in the mirrors at a junction and directly behind me is another blue m3 The brain did a double take for a moment, trying to work out how i could see my own headlights in the side mirror!

My wife said she passed a Black Tesla being winched onto a breakdown truck Northbound on M3 down near Southampton.

Hope it’s not serious. Do they just load up for a puncture on the motorway now?

Look out for me too. ;-).

Plus there's a white model 3 in town too I've seen a few times now.

5 of the things in just one of the car parks at work now, becoming a bit too common

2 x white
1 x blue
1 x black
1 x Red

And for good measure, 2 x Model S

I like the fact I’m seeing more Teslas, it means less CO2 is being emitted. So the more the merrier.

In my corner of South Wales (Chepstow) I’ve spotted 2 silver M3s on the road, 1 black M3 plugged in at the local Tesco and a blue Model S occasionally. Excellent

I'm not even close to being the only M3 in the village?

Blue standard range if you see me about....

 

[NeilG40]

At the rate I'm going it seems like I won't see one until I collect mine, it's not like they're not around looking at the entries on Plugshare at local chargers.

You’ll see me about there occasionally too, grew up in Letchworth, back there this morning for my daughters swimming lesson (way too early to be awake on a Saturday!)

Still the only tesla in my village, but there *might* be another one in the next town. Amazing how many people seem puzzled to see one in the countryside, with people asking me how far I am from the nearest charger. One guy was shocked when I told him I could (just about) drive to London and back on a single charge.
Once people realize the range of these cars demand will shift up another gear.

I agree. People not in the know, are thinking Zoe range. Not being able to leave their own town before needing a charge.

very happy to see a white M3 behind us with a number plate that differed only by two letters alphabetically. We met up at the next supercharger and it turned out they picked up theirs from Leeds the day before us.

Saw a red model 3 performance taxi today, headed towards Bedford area from the black cat roundabout.

 

[tess19]

Went to Westfield SuC the other day and it was full. Lots of M S3X. Had to wait to charge and whilst waiting, 2 more M3 turned up so ended up erratic queues in every directions blocking the carpark. Luckily we accepted who was there first and no one jumped queue. Wonder how that will work when more m3 are delivered. Lesson learnt is not to go to shopping centres to supercharge in the weekends.

 

[browellm]

Being out in the provinces, I saw my first M3 in our town of Bingham, heading back towards Nottingham. It was a black one but couldn't see what variant as it was pretty much head on. If that's you, yes, I would be delighted for you to show me around it

 

[drivingmrte5la]

Just parked opposite a nice 69 plate black M3P+ in Sheffield with the dark wheels on.

Hello, friend!

 

[Glan gluaisne]

My apologies for not waving to whoever it was in the black Model 3 that came up alongside me at the approach to the roundabout on the A303 at Amesbury on Tuesday lunchtime. I saw the waving, wondered what it was about, and only as we both drove off did I notice it was another black Model 3.

Tesla's are still pretty rare around here, that's the only one I've seen on the road, but I did spot one in Waitrose car park in Salisbury a few weeks ago.
