    Calendar and Android?

    Used to work fine, now the Calendar Sync switches itself off periodically with a message about enabling "Nearby device permission" (which does not exist on my phone). I have to manually toggle it on in the app each time I want to sync the calendar...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    Well I'm happy to have the heater/demist icons again, but it still feels like 1 step forward after 2 steps back... Still find the speed area and charging changes very unhelpful. I just don't get what they are trying to achieve.

    New M3 LR owner - what has surprised me so far

    Regarding AutoPilot, after 2 1/2 years driving, these are my tips: Put both hands on the wheel even when passively overtaking (as opposed to actively changing lanes) - if the other vehicle comes too close, it will deafen you with warnings and you need to be ready to take over instantly (unless...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    I have booked 2 service calls so far via the app under Software Updates asking to revert. They called back and obviously the answer was no, but maybe the message will get back to the mothership...

    My 1 week review with the M3LR, compared to the BMW M135i

    Interesting reading a "fresh viewpoint", I've had my M3 for 2 1/2 years and agree with a lot if it, though I love the car so I suppose I just overlook it's few weaknesses. Not sure I understand the indicator issue - if you press lightly, it self cancels after 3 flashes; if you press hard, it...

    Portugal

    O custo é €0.30 / kwh (Carregamento com Supercharger) Inacreditável, mas fica mais barato do que o maior parte dos postos em Lisboa! Os custos dos OPCs são um vergonia.

    Já está :- ) Demorou só 30 minutes (depois de 5 semanas...) e parece como novo. O seguro pagou então não sei o custo mas parece que carglass resultou.

    Tesla’s Accident Rate on Autopilot Nearly 9 Times Better than National Average

    Completely agree - I only use on clear motorways and slow start/stop traffic. I think it works well in those scenarios but this sort of statistic undermines credibility.

    Obrigado pelo informação - vou tentar outro vez com a companhia de seguros... se calhar c-santos pode fazer, mas o site de Tesla não diz nada sobre Carclasse: Assistência de oficina de carroçaria

    Portugal

    Olá, infelizmente tive um vidro partido e queria avisar pessoas sobre isto porque acho que é um problema com o Model 3 - pode partir o vidro traseira sem ativar o alarm, abrir o assento para ver na mala. Eu tive nada para roubar, mas agora tenho o vidro partido! Agora deixo o assento em baixa...

    Is there really no way to get NAV (or NAV apps) showing traffic on a standard range plus?

    I think the bottom line is that Tesla needs to make money so they do this to nudge people to pay more - perhaps that way they could afford to pay people to provide good customer service! You're right of course, customer service should come first, but that's how they seem to work for now. I'm not...

    App Running All the Time

    Tried disabling the "allow to run in background" and it works fine. I can now swipe the app to close it and as I normally use the app just before I leave to switch on the A/C, it is in the foreground and the car opens automatically when I get there :-)

    App Running All the Time

    Problem is that forcing it to run in the background drains the battery (I get warnings on my Huawei P10 that it constantly scans for Bluetooth), so is there a problem stopping in running the background? I use it as a key but I'm happy to start the app manually when I need to drive.

    First boatload of M3 to Europe

    Picked it up this morning and well worth the wait - no problems and loving driving it, how did I drive a diesel for so long?!

    First boatload of M3 to Europe

    It was delayed due to a SNAFU with government approval of the SR+ version here in Portugal, but I now have the registration and delivery is tomorrow morning (5th July) :-)

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Very disappointed as my 26 June delivery has been postponed, apparently due to a delay in the Model 3 approval in Portugal :-( It's a bit odd as I've seen quite a few around, but perhaps they are AWD and mine is an SR+ ?

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    2003 VW Golf TDI - still runs fine but I like the EV concept and for me the SR+ beats all the alternatives in terms of range, design and technology, even if it is a bit more expensive (though not by much). I will be using on-steet charging but can easily do 1 charge per week with my normal...

    First boatload of M3 to Europe

    Portugal - April 17th with 15 month reservation for blue/black aero SR+. Haven't seen any message this week but was already on "...will contact you about payment" following phone call last week to confirm details. No VIN or date yet.

    Has anyone compile a list of things to check on the M3 at delivery?

    I think that the above checklist is a bit extreme - perhaps limit it to the top of the list, before "Take a deep breath...". I read a comment elsewhere suggesting it's better to focus on things that could be blamed on you later - in other words scratches / dents, cracked glass etc. The point is...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Ordered SR+ Blue / Aero / Black Trim mid April (in Portugal) and got a call today to confirm invoice details - said they are "looking for a match now", so hopefully won't be too long :-)

    What did you look at other than the 3

    I have an aging VW Golf spewing out diesel fumes (though I do keep it well serviced) and wanted an EV with > 200 miles range. This ruled out most, but looked at Hyundi KAUAI (that's it name in EU) and the new longer range Nissan Leaf+. The SR+ costs an extra 15-20% over here, but I feel design...

    Model 3 Price in the future?

    The 5000 miles isn't worth that much - based on roughly 4 miles / kwh, it's worth 1250 kwh in a Modl 3, which would cost around 22c / kwh, so maybe $250 - $300. Nice to have as a freebie, but maybe not something to influence a $45000 decision... As for whether the price will go up, no idea - my...

    Estimated Delivery Date

    Hi, I ordered my M3 SR+ mid April and there was no estimated delivery date (I also asked by email - they did reply but said they were unable to give me one). What I find odd is that while the US site says "2-4 weeks" and UK site says "June" all the EU sites I checked show nothing (using...
