If you leave your car with your phone on you and there are passengers in the car, the car will lock since you’ve told it you want to lock the car when you walk away (Walk-away door lock). The car is unable to tell if there is a person still inside, since the weight could be a package on the...

I had the same thing earlier this week, it lasted about 3 days and was quite annoying for the longer drives I made. Oddly enough, the issue went away after I washed the car. The cameras didn't look dirty, and the only message I saw on the screen was that cruise control was unavailable. The car...

My excess is £700, so I’d probably avoid using insurance in this case. With yours being lower it’s definitely a viable option. I’ve had the car for 7 months and have not ever switched sentry mode off. At home I have to park my car in a private car park which is easily accessible from the street...

I had this issue almost daily, and since I’ve had the screen replaced, it hasn’t happened once. It must be a bad batch of screens unfortunately. The service centre couldn’t replicate the issue when they had it in, however I had a video of PIN to drive not accepting any input and once I showed...

This is the exact issue I was having. It didn’t seem like a hardware issue as it would respond after tapping many times or holding on the middle of the screen. It really did feel as if it was going into some kind of deep sleep where it wouldn’t wake up instantly. It also would not happen if I...

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing. I’ve been quite alone with this issue and haven’t seen anyone else have the same problem until now. I have another Tesla service visit on Tuesday, this time it’s a mobile visit and they’re bringing a new screen with them. I’m slightly concerned it...

I’ve been having the same issue but mine is basically dangerous as it is happening whilst driving too. When it does happen the touchscreen will simply not respond to touch until about 5 seconds later after I’ve tapped. I requested service and it was in being looked at on Friday, but they...

This has happened to me two times in the last two months that I’ve owned the car. Holding the two buttons on the wheel to reset the computer and then waiting about 30 mins seemed to fix it both times.

I get free charging from work, and when I’m out and about I will use either free charging from Tesco or use the Bonnet app for 35p/kWh when I’m low and need to use public charging. I don’t even have the ability to charge at home as I live in an apartment, however the car is still saving me lots...

Oh noooo! I'm so sorry to hear that, I feel so incredibly upset that you've had to go through this. I remember you telling me that I stole your charge from Newcastle as I picked up on the same day as you. Don't let the scumbag who done this ruin your enjoyment of the car, they are clearly not...

I picked up from Newcastle last Friday and had a full charge. Screen was showing 99% on collection. Really surprised me as I had not asked for it nor did I expect it to be that high. I already planned on driving straight to the Washington supercharger after pickup, but I didn’t even need to!

Thank you Snowy! I hope you get your Model 3 soon too with minimal fuss, hopefully they can match you up with the same configuration to save the waiting! 🙂 Yes you will be 100% pleased with the colour choice. In person it looks even more striking, it’s hard to take your eyes off it! It was...

Picked up today from Newcastle and it is a stunner! What surprised me is the 99% charge the car had, contrary to what I’ve heard others say! The reps at Newcastle are really friendly and the process was so smooth I kept thinking that can’t be it! :eek: The build quality is absolutely...

Looks like the price has gone up for the second time in a week, another one since yesterday. The basic RWD model 3 with Aeros is now £45,990, that’s another increase of £2,000. So £3,000 more than it was a week ago. I feel so lucky to have placed my order at just the right time, with the...

I’ve been sent an email to sign some agreements from Tesla. I don’t pick up my Model 3 until 18th March, do I wait until then or sign now?
