    Regen braking reduced?

    Is it possible to post a short clip? That way people can see the issue. Have you gone back to Tesla for a test drive to compare? You could video the demo screen and your own and send both to - [email protected]

    Model 3 Service after 1 year...?

    Sorry don't know. It is sealed and long life, won't degrade as much as on an ICE car. I don't believe it is considered serviceable. Easiest way is ask Tesla via app.

    Are UK Owners less fussy? Or are we getting a better built product in the first place?

    Yes I agee, people say how reliable other makes are. Evidence says otherwise. One reason I bought a Model 3.👍

    The Freemont built cars I avoid, I wouldn't consider an X or S until they are built elsewhere! My China 3 has not great build issues, quite a few design issues but not really build.

    30 hour wait for recovery. Lessons learnt.

    Sounds like Tesla Service is a failure yet again! I have had Warranty issues lately and I am unimpressed. Think I might get rid. Hope they fix it and don't damage it.

    Model 3 headlight water ingress.

    What issues have people experienced with Tesla Warranty? I had several months of increasing moisture in the headlights, it began running top to bottom leaving permanent visible marking. It got worse the further I drove. Tesla requested photo's, ordered new lights and booked mobile service. The...

    Model 3 body and paint protection concerns

    Hi - I am also interested in this. I have a 22 M3LR from Shanghai. The general build quality is good, with no real issues and much improved over previous gens. However the basic design flaws are the same. I had full frontal ppf, but this doesn't protect all edges. X4 large mud flaps. Full paint...

    Model 3 Service after 1 year...?

    The benefit of Tesla is very little to service. If you are competent lubricating the brakes is a quick afternoon job, I swapped tyres round at same time. If you do your research you will find all OEM ICE manufacturers have had massive engine reliability issues for years. Partially due to...

    Carbotech brake pad fitment issues on Model 3 Performance

    Not necessarily corrosion. My M3LR started after about 7k miles. First application of brakes after direction change results in loud metallic clack. Holding the brake and applying forward then reverse drive power results in similar. Seems to be pads moving. On stock pads, very very clean 2022...

    Regen braking reduced?

    I can't say for certain, but suspect you are correct.

    Regen braking reduced?

    Yes, similar. Tech just said it was exactly the same as his car, no mention that it was completely different to how it used to be.

    Squeaky /creaky driver's seat issue identified
