    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    This looks great, thanks for the tip - wondering about the part you have to fully disclose the car has been in an incident and give all those details the DVLA... any chance of that coming back to bite me in the proverbial anytime in the future?

    hmmm - that is actually a really good point. this is the spec on DVLA

    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    the dent is about the size of a two pound coin, with two little scratches inside where the paint has been taken off. It’s certainly not the end of the world, and I would guess I could get it repaired for roughly £200-£400 with one of the mobile repairers. I imagine an insurer would say more like...

    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    forgive me for the noob question - if I report it to my insurer, will I lose my no claims? No claims previously, but I imagine that’s obvious with the no claims and all

    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    Finally, I’ve got it! The video I’ve got is a little clearer than the upload above, and I’ve tried a lot of variations, but very confident with this: GN65 ENW This is a white BMW M1 according to the DVLA, which is what’s in the video. Now, what to do next?! I’d really like to track them down...

    Car door dented, caught on Sentry - help!

    Hi all, After cleaning the car today for the first time in months due to the lockdown I’ve noticed a nasty dent/scrape on the passenger door where someone’s opened their door onto mine, painful! Gratefully sentry recorded the incident, but due to the rain it’s really hard to make out her...

    Chipex for scratches!

    Sadly I wouldn’t recommend them if you have a black model 3 - the colour doesn’t quite match, it dries ever so slightly lighter :(

    Collection day sanitising

    this has been proven to be fake news - we need to be really careful about what we believe! Think about it - the human body temperature is roughly 36.2-37.2 degrees when healthy, and it thrives in that environment. So much fake news going around that people are swallowing up as fact it’s scary

    Best type 2 extension cable for Model 3?

    thanks for the answer! I should have said - I have an untethered box, so at the moment I have a 10m cable; which was pretty expensive in itself! Hence why I’m trying to work out the most cost effective way of extending. That extension you posted looks great, but unfortunately it’s a little too...

    Best type 2 extension cable for Model 3?

    Hi all - hope you’re good! I’ve just put a new driveway in so we can get the baby in and out the car (long story!) and my 10m cable doesn’t reach the car anymore. What is the best solution for me to get another 10m in cable length (I need 17.5-20m in total) so I can charge my car? Extension or...

    If I get a flat tire in UK what’s my options?

    I’ve read this a few times, but also conflicting opinions. I’m no expert, I’ve never used this kit and I don’t actually know if it will work or not, but I’d give it a go on my 20” M3P tyre if it was flat and I was likely to be waiting hours for some reason, unable to get help. My (limited)...

    If I get a flat tire in UK what’s my options?

    this is true - but I've read cases where they can sometimes they take over 24 hours to get to you, meaning you may need to have to abandon the car for a day or so. Each to their own, but I’d rather have the tyre kit above in the boot also, incase that happens to me!

    If I get a flat tire in UK what’s my options?

    I bought this: Model S/X/3 Tire Repair Kit Out of stock now but should come back in stock soon hopefully, it’s handy as I can keep my tyre pressure at the right level without going to a garage or petrol station, and if I get a flat, I can use the sealant to get to the closest garage.

    iPhone app access to Service Bookings

    Log in online, click the account tab, click contact, then you’ll see add ‘additional contact’. Add their email address and Tesla will send them an email to set up as an additional driver. Won’t work if you’re leasing and having the problems listed above mind.... hope that helps

    iPhone app access to Service Bookings

    What’s happening in this post (The Beast of Burbage) is what concerns me the most about this setup. Someone, somewhere has access to my car through the Tesla app. I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think they can actually set up their phone as a key without a keycard to set it up in car, but they can...

    iPhone app access to Service Bookings

    For me, the option to add another driver is there, and I can submit a request, but it fails to allow it - i assume due to not being the primary account holder for the vehicle.

    Regarding supercharging - I’ve added a card to the online Tesla login (even though I don’t see my car there) and it works for payment, I can also see the invoices. Plus my two referrals are pending in my account too, so those (at least) are working ok. edit - the referral orders haven’t been...

    Sure it’s possible. There’s got to be millions of third party adaptors out in the wild across the globe, and if house fires were a real threat I can only assume we’d hear about it a lot more, and I’d hope the government would intervene with new legislation to try and control the epidemic. I...

    I’ve started to get this recently on occasion too. Most of the time it’s fine, but occasionally won’t record. I have a super high speed (read & write) usb stick that is much faster than the recommended speed so I’m pretty convinced it’s not the drive. Edit - usb drive is up to 400 MB/s read...
