    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Hi guys, New to IO here. Had a scan through the pages but there’s a lot so thought I’d ask for any recent experiences. IO didn’t charge my car (M3LR) last night despite giving a slot of 3.30-4.00am (car was at 76% with limit of 80% - so some room to charge). This also happened earlier in the...

    M3 LR Steering wheel feels funny

    Nothing as yet. Took it to SC on Thursday and the techie did say its a firmware issue that should be sorted in the next couple of updates. Fingers crossed!

    M3 LR Steering wheel feels funny

    Thanks both. Init6 - just read through the thread (thanks for sharing). It does sound very familiar. Mine does drive straight but the turning motion is very 'notch'. Took it to SC booking today and they advised it was normal, which flies against what other PCs have said for the others in...

    M3 LR Steering wheel feels funny

    Hi all, I am on my second M3 (first was a 2019 M3P, swapped for a 2022 M3LR) and I noticed something I haven't experienced before (or I may not have noticed it). When I turn the steering wheel it feels a little 'clicks' - like you're turning a cog, or think of the haptic touch sensation you get...

    Have seats on the M3 changed since initial launch?

    I had a 2019 M3P which i recently traded in for a 2022 M3LR and I can't say I have noticed any difference if I'm honest.

    What's everyones insurance renewals this year?

    So, I have traded in my 2019 (69) Model 3 Performance, for a 2022 (72) Model 3 LR as of last Thursday. My insurance on the M3P last year with Churchill was £703 (3years NCB, 34 year old). I just received the renewal quote and it has increase to £966! A 37% increase despite being a year older...

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    I ordered around Feb time, but was thrown around with dates a few times (initial delivery was March 2022 so was excited to have the 22 plate, but that kept shifting and the last EDD was August - not so pleased with that, with the 72 plates around the corner). Thankfully the date changed to...

    Company getting in touch after having a car charger fitted - Is this normal?

    In this instance they'd discuss options with you as far as i'm aware. I mentioned about tarmac drives and how they tackle that, and the gentleman advised that although they would tarmac the area they have dug up, you would still have the 'scarring' that you see on pavements, etc when they dig...

    Company getting in touch after having a car charger fitted - Is this normal?

    I had my pod point installed a few months ago but had to inform Electricity North West prior to doing so. They came and did a survey (like the one you mention), and they found that my house is part of a 'looped supply' (i.e. the main cable from the street is shared between my property and my...

    Road Trip Checks

    Some great advice here - thanks all :cool: Regards charging - i'm not worried about that as, being a seasoned M3P owner now I know what to expect on that front (with the Supercharger suggestion from the car, etc. (I'll be leaving with 100% charge from home in Bolton). The breaking up of the...

    Road Trip Checks

    Hi all, After nearly three years with my M3P I am finally going on a bit of a long road trip from North Manchester to Aberdeen. I just wanted to see if anybody had any tips regarding checks and lessons learned from journeys you have been on? I know the usual checks apply - tyres...

    Go to the settings when your sat nav is activated and you can reduce/mute the voice from there (as well as setting your navigation preferences - fastest route, avoid tolls, etc.)

    So, I haven't been on here for a while since joining the small violin club with @Snowy77 - i thought i'd leave Tesla to their own devices as I wasn't due delivery until May/June after their initial delay. However, I checked the delivery date a couple of days ago and it has now shifted further...

    Brand new M3 RWD - Supercharging won't go above 52kw

    All the advice above is spot on so I won't regurgitate but it may be worth setting up a service appointment. The team can then do remote diagnostics and see what is going on with the battery. They will have your charging history data there so will be able to see how the battery was behaving...

    Yeah you'll get yours before me - I highly doubt i'll get mine before the end of May 😄 There could be a plethora of reasons why there is so much chop and change and I can completely understand why Tesla newbies are getting frustrated when their dates are being pushed around - human nature is...

    That's impressive! Great work. I ordered the exact same spec on the 2nd of Feb and mine went from March to 22nd-31st March...then I joined the SVC when it jumped to May/June. As I'm already an existing M3 owner i'm not too fussed about the delay, but it would be nice to see the deal over the...

    I have scratched the performance itch now. Although the car is faster than most cars on the road (save for the true supercars and the Model S madness), I just don't use that kind of speed often anymore. I used to put my foot down a little at the lights when I had some petrol head next to me...

    No text at my end - just the date in the app/my account a couple of weeks ago, which suddenly changed last week but I was told not to worry as I was still due for March delivery. Then the sudden change in date over the weekend. The same as @Snowy77 I think my initial frustrations an anxiety...

    I spoke to the guys over the phone just now and I have just been admitted to @Snowy77 's Small Violin Club 😄 i'm being pragmatic about it as it means my settlement quote for my existing M3P will obviously reduce (after having made a further two payments), and who knows? We may even get some...

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    You don't need to worry about it. The car will only unlock if you are very close to it (like 6inches away). I park on my drive and the car is about 3 feet from the front door and as soon as I step through the front door the car locks itself. I have also had instances where my other half wants...

    It would be great if the elusive chat bubble would pop up on the site. Tried calling them regarding the EDD window moving from 22-31 March to 19Apr-16Jun to see if there had been any other update since I last spoke to them when they said the March date is still on track for me. But when I now...

    It is certainly very strange. But as the guy on the phone said, everything is still good to go for March on my account apparently, including an assigned "delivery specialist" for March, so I hope it is the same for you and any others in our boat (excuse the pun). I'm putting it in the back of...

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    I have had the same (per my earlier post). I managed to get through on the phone and was advised not to worry about that as those dates don't mean much (which begs the question of why they provide them in the first place:rolleyes:). The chap on the phone said that I have apparently been...

    Hmm - so as with others in the thread I received an estimated delivery of 22nd-31st March earlier this week, however I was just on my account to check a couple of things for my current car and noticed that for my new car the date has pushed back to 19th May - 16th June. My trade-in valuation...

    M3 not sleeping

    Do you have sentry on by any chance? This can cause the car to stay awake as it is monitoring the surroundings. Since the new update it is a little convoluted how to switch it on and off but i think it is in the security settings where you can have it on but 'exclude home'. Just a thought

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    Ordered LR/Blue/Black/Aero on 2nd Feb to replace my MSM M3P (trade in value i couldn't refuse - along with much lower monthly payments due to amount of equity). Had estimated delivery of March since order date and today, like others, updated to 22nd-31st March. Having experienced the 'itchy...

    Tesla trade in question

    I requested a trade in of my M3P for an LR and got the final value confirmed today - ordered the new car on 1st Feb. Not been given a delivery slot yet - showing as March on my account. Per others above, when I spoke to them over the phone they did say that they have been inundated with...

    2019 to latest Model 3 - worth it?

    I have done exactly that but my outgoing is a 2019 M3P MSM w/12,500 on the clock - my trade in estimate is the same as yours. Like yourself, I'm going to a 2022 LR Blue (fingers crossed due in mid-March, although i'm still awaiting those details). The equity I have in my car - coupled with the...

    2019 to latest Model 3 - worth it?

    Yeah i think going from P to P doesn't make much sense as the difference will be tiny as you say. I'm over the initial thrill of the 3second 0-60 stuff. The LR is still plenty quick so until i make the move to the S/X in a few years i think, for my circumstances, the LR makes sense :) And the...

    2019 to latest Model 3 - worth it?

    I'm in this exact position and have just bitten the bullet. Gone from 2019 M3P to a LR. I purchased it using PCP and the equity i have built up is a lot more than the deposit i initially paid for mine so i'm benefitting from a brand new car and paying around £40/month less than what i'm...

    Thanks for all your insight guys. I have never come across with with any of my cars before (most have been brand new and all of them from the main dealer), or this one for previous issues, so it caught me off guard when I saw this. Thank you to Durzel and VanillaAir_UK for the heads up. I...

    30 minute Diagnosis for £72.5 + VAT ???

    So this is something I have never come across before. I booked my car in for a service appointment because a couple of weeks ago when preconditioning I could hear the fan from INSIDE my house (the car sits on the drive) - it was so damn loud!! :eek: It is booked in for 1st September so I got a...

    M3P Brakes

    Yeah I have noticed the orange layer too. I think you can get some stuff from halfords that cleans that up if it is really bugging you. I remember i used it for my previous car. It was from Autofinesse (think it was called iron out or something) - cleans it up and the discs look brand new...

    M3P Brakes

    Gents - great suggestions. I'll be sure to give them a go when i head out tomorrow. I may keep the acceleration and hard stop option for the weekend though! If it is a stone/pebble - any ideas how to remove? Thanks again, TN

    M3P Brakes

    So, I have had this issue for a while but before I set up a service request I thought i'd ask the knowledgeable residents of this forum about an 'issue' I have. For the past few months I have noticed a strange sound coming from the wheel(s) (not sure if its one or multiple) of my car that makes...

    Octopus smart meter installation

    Windscreen Wash Fluid Pouring Onto Driver's Side Window

    To add to everybody else's valuable insight, I think the fact that the nozzle is on the leading edge of the wipers and not shooting from the front (bonnet) means that less of it runs straight back down the windscreen as the blade moves across, so you end up with more on the surface by the time...

    UMC doesn't unlock from charge port

    It is odd. But think the issue is because my behaviour has changed (i.e. i used to precondition in the morning and then take the cable out when i left the house therefore the car is already awake, whereas the past few times i haven't preconditioned and I have barely used the care so it is in...

    UMC doesn't unlock from charge port

    That makes sense! I used to warm the car up before i left for work in the morning so that obviously woke it up! I haven't done that the past few weeks because I haven't been driving it, or if I have been driving it I haven't needed to precondition. Thanks chaps :)

    UMC doesn't unlock from charge port

    Thanks Roy, Strangely, mine hasn't always done that. Previously I have been able to walk to my car and as long as I had my phone with me I could press the button on the UMC and it would release without any drama. But recently it's been a pain (first world problems o_O). It may be due to deep...

    Scratch repair and Ceramic/PPF - Bolton/Manchester
