    Squeaky front suspension

    My 69 M3P went in to Stratford last week. They replace both sides as a matter of course under warranty. Interestingly I had a loaner 17 MX a few months back which has exactly the same issue and was due to have both arms replaced. Do get some noise if turning steering wheel when hold is on due...

    Driver Seat Not Returning to Saved Position

    +1 here. Initially thought it was because I was selecting drive before the seat had fully moved.

    Flaking paint on 2021 M3 LR

    My 2019 M3P blue/white is going back to the Bristol s/c tomorrow. Went in just over 3m ago to have nearside sill resprayed just in front of rear wheel arch due to peeling paint. Exactly same thing is happening again in same place. Tesla fitted mudguards at the time. Will be done under warranty...

    Charging screen whilst supercharging

    Might need a reboot then as was sitting in driver’s seat. Equally tapping on the screen did nothing as that is what I used to do I thought.

    Charging screen whilst supercharging

    I don’t use superchargers very often as I do 99% of my charging at home overnight. However this weekend I had to supercharge twice. I plugged in expecting to be able to catch up on some Netflix but as soon as I shut the door a charging info screen came up which I couldn’t dismiss. As soon as I...

    Underbody Cover peeled off

    I had it with my vehicle. After a lot of wrangling Tesla agreed to replace half price. Was still £90. I went through a puddle at about 25mph as there was a car coming the other way. There is a longer thread on this elsewhere

    Warning! New Brake Pads and Discs after 13,000 miles

    Got stung by Tesla few weeks ago. Went in for a known problem with front squeaking suspension. Got a phone call the to say 3 out of 4 wheels were buckled and were too dangerous to put back on the car. I was surprised as had no issues but was convinced safety issue and so gave the go-ahead. I...

    How to fight this? Suffering excessive stone chips

    I also have similar issue. 13000 miles and just over a year old. Jet washed my car yesterday with a domestic Karcher jet wash (K4) using the medium car setting. A section of paint about 3” by 2” has peeled off just in front of the left rear wheel exposing the plastic sill. Thank fully I asked...

    Speed limit warning & Autopilot offsets

    Care with the 10% + 2. I recently lost 3hrs of my life on a naughty boy Zoom call. Was photographed by a fixed camera doing 34 in a 30. West Mercia constabulary.

    Creaking suspension

    Last couple of weeks started with creaking from the front offside suspension. Booked a service appt but closest was 8th October. Today it is really bad and making a noise even when I turn the wheel. Spoke to Tesla tonight and they tell me it is a known issue with the M3. They are trying to get...

    Sentry USB drive recommendation

    It is USB A so there was always the chance of putting the connector in upside down. Better to get it done by an expert:p

    Sentry USB drive recommendation

    Just to add in to this discussion. I bought one of these a year ago for my sentry drive. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GRXFW52/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Has performed flawlessly. Never come-up with any errors and never had to reformat it. For under £20 if tou...

    How does fixing issues work? Is there a cost?

    Taking this at face value I would definitely challenge this. As you say a manufacturing defect and so def should be covered under warranty. I have just started with a squeak from the RF suspension so nervously awaiting a service centre visit.

    Loud noise from AC when set to Auto

    My car also sounds like that. Also sounds like that when I enable track mode and the compressor overclocks.

    Nice black M3P “J14XON” near me that I wave at whenever I see.

    iPhone/Apple Watch & Tesla

    Running WatchOS 7 beta and still no option other than battery level (turns yellow when charging). Maybe the app developer needs to catch up.

    iPhone/Apple Watch & Tesla

    How do you change which complication the watch face displays for the Tesla Watch app? When I go to set the complication I only get the option of just setting Tesla Watch to a position on the Infogram face and it always defaults to the % battery level?

    Nav update

    OK. So like everyone else I am waiting for the next nav update. I am currently on the 2019 database like pretty much every one else. However I drove down a road today where the speed limit changed position due to a new school entrance about three years ago. My M3P has always told me that it was...

    Tesla stock price $1733 13 July 2020

    Like Vanilla Air I dipped back into Tesla in April and doubled my money but sold on Wednesday thinking it couldn’t possibly go any higher. Up 25% since then! My worry is the black swan event. Elon Musk is Tesla. If ever something happened to Elon I think Tesla’s share price would crater. Also...

    Aftermarket boot struts - slow?

    Normal for mine. The initial surge is where the red springs decompress then the momentum gently carries it the rest of the way open.

    2020.28.1

    At this point I would prefer a navigation update to a firmware update. So many speed limits have changed around my neck of the woods as well as some new road layouts.

    Ranger visit and alarm setting

    Didn't see an insect but the car was rocking with the gusts. First time it has happened but will keep an eye on it.

    2020.24.6

    I had a Ranger visit this am to repair a faulty seat switch. Asked him if he could push 24.1 to the car but he checked there and then and said not available for my VIN yet... Clearly some complex algorithm at Tesla that assigns who gets what.

    Ranger visit and alarm setting

    Had a ranger visit today to repair a faulty passenger seat switch on my M3P. Asked about the lack of ability to turn the alarm/tilt sensor off. Apparently it is an issue they are aware of and he believed a fix would be coming shortly. When we had really gusty winds over the weekend my alarm...

    Octopus ‘Go’ getting paid to use Electricity

    For those of you on Agile - seems to me that plunge pricing happens more commonly in summer months (presumably due to solar input into the grid) than winter. As a family we use less peak rate electric in the summer months as tend to use the BBQ more than the oven. Octopus allow you to switch...

    TWC - Charge interrupted due to circuit tripping

    Replacement M3P 20" tyres

    Replacement M3P 20" tyres

    Replacement M3P 20" tyres

    Yes have looked but have been into three different tyre places locally and all have told me that each manufacturer has a slightly different bespoke tyre - Audi has AO fit, Tesla has TL fit etc. From Michelin website the tyre has a T0 after it. Just want to ensure I buy the right tyre and don't...

    Replacement M3P 20" tyres

    Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere. Managed to drop a wheel down a pot hole yesterday and now have a big tyre wall bulge so looking for a new tyre. Michelin 235/35/ZR20 92Y XL. Have been to three local tyre places and all three have told me it is not a standard tyre and I need...

    Car park door bash: how much to fix, or LeasePlan return penalty?

    Feel your pain... Most of these companies offer free quotes so maybe get a couple to have a look? Is the actual paint damaged as might make fixing it more difficult later with rust if you have a change of heart. Glad I took someone's advice early on and got insurance cover with Tidy Alloys for...

    [UK] 2020.20.x

    Must admit I find the GPS excellent. When I park up I can even see which parking space I am occupying on the app map. Also when my other half drives I can see when she overtakes - car madly accelerates and its position changes to the other side of the road :) (and no I don't stalk her before...

    Octopus

    On Go Faster and just been contacted to say that on Sunday between 5am-7am electricity is -5p/kWh or 2pm-4pm -2p/kWh. Have to chose one or the other. Car will be charging, dishwasher on, washing machine on twice between 2-4pm. Will probably save about a quid but a nice feeling all the same.

    TM3 Weak WiFi Signal

    Is worth using speedtest.net on the in car browser. I found that although my WiFi strength often only shows up as 1 bar (or even just a dot) I would still get 20-30Mb/s speeds.

    Paint issues

    Thanks to those who have responded so far. I have already resigned myself to the fact that Tesla will do nothing about it. Same as they did nothing about my rear motor tray falling off. I have sent pictures in to my lease company and warned them about the undue early damage and await their...

    Paint issues

    I know this has been mentioned before but just trying to get a census from others before approaching Tesla. Have just been out diligently cleaning my M3P when I noticed some flecks down in front of the rear wheel arches. I thought at first it was dirt but scrubbed and used a mild rubbing...
