This is a massive long shot really, but I was wondering if anyone with a later Model 3 with C-style brake lights and twin reverse and fog lights has a copy of what their gateway config was - if they’ve done any work with the car in Toolbox 3 etc. Specifically, I’m trying to find out the value...

Found out today that Helvetia - the official partner for Tesla's extended warranty scheme - are no longer offerig policies to new customers, as of the end of last year. Was made aware that their website had gone offline recently, and thought that maybe wasn't a good sign, but it has been...

Hi, Perhaps there ought to be a sticky on this as it seems people have posted threads for different regions asking broadly the same question - so here is another one. My M3P is due its first MOT at the end of March. I'd quite like for it to have an inspection & service done at the same time...

Since it’s gotten colder the last couple of drives I’ve noticed my door cards squeaking. I’m Pretty sure it’s something to do with where they touch the metal, and I remember someone mentioning a silicone spray of some kind for exactly this sort of thing, but I can’t find it now. Anyone else...

Tesla Bristol kindly gave me a 2022 (72) M3P to test drive today, just gave me the key cards and said that no one else was using it today, and come back whenever I want. I love this no pressure selling, kudos to the guy at the store. I parked my 2020 (30) M3P car alongside it so I could try and...

Technically this is probably a more general question, but since RHD and LHD cars differ I'm posting it in the UK forum... I went to fit my Abstract Ocean rear ambient lights and got stuck right at the start when trying to pull off the cover below the glovebox. I removed the three push pins...

Hi, My car has just passed 2 years old, and I've done hardly any miles (less than 3000). Ordinarily with a regular ICE car from another manufacturer I'm not sure I'd be too worried, since it would generally be piling on the miles that led to bigger bills, but with Tesla I'm not sure what to...

Hi, I've got a 2020 M3P that is currently dechromed, and it's one of those "limited edition" cars that didn't come with dimming wing mirrors. As a long term mini project I've been looking into the feasibility of changing my chrome trim to the satin black trim, including the wing mirrors and...

Hi Looking at possibly buying an Ohmmu lithium (LiFePO4) battery to replace the OEM one in my Model 3. The car is approx 18 months old and from what I can see from stats it has started waking up to top up the 12v battery every 24 hours, so I don’t think it’ll be too long before it says it needs...

This is more of a general comment really, not specific to the UK forum, so feel free to move if needs be. I've got a Peugeot e-2008 GT on a subscription (Onto) at the moment, as a stop gap while another (non-Tesla) car is being repaired. It's a nice car, seems put together well, has some nice...

I had a 2017 Model S 75 since Friday for 4 days while my Model 3 was in for some minor work, and I have to admit I was pretty impressed. It obviously felt a lot looser than my car, in almost all respects, but in others it was rather lovely :) The biggest plus, for me, were the seats. Proper...

Moderator comment - do at your own risk - some reports in this thread of people having trouble exiting dyno mode There's a feature in 2021.24.4, possibly earlier, but quite probably fixed in 2021.24.5 which should be pushed pretty quickly, where you can read a load of data about your car that...

I’ve been pretty lucky with my 2020 M3P that nothing major has gone wrong (touch wood) or been damaged or broken on arrival. That being said, I have had quite a few fit and finish issues. So far, off the top of my head, I’ve had: Water marks under the lacquer on one of my wheels on delivery...

Hi I have a Tesla Offer frunk and trunk kit fitted to my 2020 M3P, the latter fitted by the excellent @Mr H. The frunk kit connects directly to the 12v battery at the front, the trunk kit is (currently) connected to the 12v near the penthouse under the rear seats. I've been told by TeslaOffer...

I tried to fit my heated steering wheel earlier to my Model 3 (I know it’s not going to work out of the box). I didn’t get very far. i managed to pop off both sides of the airbag, by pushing an allen key in each hole on the side of the wheel, but I couldn’t remove the airbag from the wheel at...

Hi Bit of a specific question this, but I was wondering - how secure are the side bolster pods that sit either side of the rear seats? I’m talking about these things: One of mine was removed to connect something to the 12v spot under the rear seats, and while that was being done I noticed...

Hi, Not seen this mentioned before, just saw it on the TeslaOffer website when looking at their auto frunk and trunk set: https://www.teslaoffer.com/product/model-3-y-eagle-eye-tail-light/ $699 is a lot of money, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't smiling like an idiot at the video on the...

The famous Tesla Tequila is available to buy in the UK.. https://shop.tesla.com/en_gb/product/decanter?sku=1655475-00-A ...albeit without any actual alcohol in it, for £130. I'm torn between thinking it's not the worst way to spend that sort of money, on a bit of objet d'art, assuming Tesla...

Anyone bought this, replacing an SSD/endurance SD that they'd already fitted? I have a Samsung T5 500GB SSD in my M3P currently, partitioned 50/50 for music and recordings. I had incorrectly assumed before I got the car that it would fill up with dashcam/sentry footage until such time as it...

Don’t know if this is of interest to anyone but it appears that Tesla is discounting the (real) carbon fibre end caps that go on the 19” and 20” wheels. Model 3 Carbon Fiber Wheel Cap Kit They’re now £150.00. That’s obviously still a chunk of change for what they are, but it’s considerably...

It’s that time of year and this is my first Tesla. On previous cars I never really gave it much thought but with the Model 3, and knowing Tesla to be a bit quirky anyway, and the fact I bought this outright - it’s got me a bit anxious. Is there anything I ought to be concerned about in terms...

Hey @VanillaAir_UK :) I’m wondering whether we should have a sticky thread for people to add their QC issues, rather than having a thread for each one? ... which I’m going to add to now. When I got my car chrome deleted on Wednesday, the guy mentioned that one of my door handles wasn’t aligned...

I don't know where this ranks on the list of First World Problems, but I going to have to assume it's pretty high up. When I open the bonnet on my car, more often than not, these two rubber thingies will catch the bonnet as its lifted and fold backwards, rather than staying to the side of the...

Hi, Just thought I'd link to this discussion which I've been following: Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y? In a nutshell, the current (although probably not deliveries in the next few months) Model 3 has USB-A ports at the front of the car in the centre console, and at...

One of the weirdest things I've found about the Model 3 (I assume they're all the same) is that when you activate TACC the car will try and drive at the speed limit, regardless of what speed you're doing. This is quite unlike any cruise control I've seen, used or heard of - which instead...

This is more of a curiosity than something I’m particularly concerned about. On my car both rear doors are harder to open than the front. Not hard in the sense that it feels wrong, or that you really have to pull on them, but they both require slightly more pulling force on the handle than the...

Was cleaning the wheel arches and noticed these. There are 2 on each rear wheel arch. It looks like they just screw in on the screw that’s there. Mine weren’t coming off but they weren’t screwed in properly either.

Has anyone had any rectification work done on alloys by Tesla? I spotted these spots on one of my alloys this morning. They look like water spots, except they're not. They don't catch the fingernail, which makes me think they're underneath the lacquer? At the same time I had the car fully...

Hi Before my Model 3 arrived I binge watched loads of YouTube videos, and one of the things that came up was fitting a rubber seal around the roof glass, to reduce wind noise, so I went ahead and bought one from Abstract Ocean. When my car turned up I was lucky enough that the glass was...

My car wasn’t supplied with a Type-2 charge cable, and it was delivered by a random delivery driver not affiliated with Tesla. I reported the missing cable immediately via a service request, and was hoping to finally get one on a SC visit on Friday just gone, but no joy. When I spoke to someone...

Hi I had my bonnet (hood) adjusted by my local SC today, it was slightly out horizontally. It was always the correct height at the front (I’m aware of those screw in things). Since then, and this could all be in my head, it feels like there is a bigger gap at the front. I remarked upon on it...

Has anyone here replaced the bulb in their glove box? I bought a set from Abstract Ocean (they’re great by the way) and watched the installation video on YouTube first, which made it all look pretty straightforward, but when it came to the glovebox light it was basically impossible to get the...

My Model 3 is baking in the sun :( I have enabled cabin overheat protection (with A/C) but on the odd occasion I'll load the app and it tells me the interior is 49C or thereabouts. I don't have the option of garaging the car at the moment, as it's full of stuff. I don't fancy fitting an...

Hi, I don't get anything from this, other than recommending this guy (Justin) once again for doing an amazing job on my car. He's done several of my cars now, has done quite a few Teslas so knows the problem areas, and he also does a lot of business for my local Porsche dealership as well...

Hi, Bit of a specific one this. Took my car in to get detailed today (and picked up some bread on the way back) and the detailer asked me if I wanted him to cut around the badge on the bonnet, or remove it. He said he didn't have any double sided tape thin enough to re-attach it and have it...

Andy Cox on Twitter Looks like a MSM SR+ to me. Ridiculous speeds. We don't need to put even more pressure on emergency services at the moment.

I’ve not spotted any Model 3s around my area (Bath, south west UK) and today managed to see two in the space of an hour.. A MSM LR parked up at Sainsbury’s Odd Down supermarket. A white P3D going through a hand car wash with me behind just outside High Littleton. Both BT69 numberplates (is...

I can't find the price rises thread that was active today. The link for it is dead? Anyone know where it's gone?
