    Multiple safety systems failure (M3P) completely out of the blue

    So I had my 2020 M3P announce multiple failed systems this morning as I was pulling up at a traffic light. Completely out of the blue with no prior signs that anything was wrong. Stability control ABS Vehicle hold Traction control Lane avoidance Regen Brakes now have to pushed much harder...

    Source for a painted OEM wing mirror case for M3?

    Bashed my driver's side wing mirror against another car coming the other way on a tight road the other day (probably 6 of one, half a dozen of the other). Smashed the mirror glass and badly cracked the case which also popped off (recovered and taped up). I've sourced and fitted an OEM...

    Scheduled departure charge to 100% when off peak ends 00:30am?

    If I set the car to charge to 100% by 9am and I've told the car that my 4hr cheap rate ends at 00:30am (Octopus Go Faster) am I right in thinking that the car is 'intelligent' enough to only charge to say 90% (or some other value) during the cheap rate time and then do the last 10% top-up just...

    Charge port latch fault - AC charging reduced DC Fast Charging / Supercharging may be unavailable I've had this warning pop-up a couple of times in the last couple of weeks although I've not seen any changes related to charging. I've booked in for a service next week but wondered if anyone has...

    Matt:e box available

    Hi, I have a practically unused Matt:e earthing box thingy (please read other threads on here about these things) available if anyone ends up needing one as part of their installation. I think they're a waste of time, but some installers seem to insist on them. It was installed with my Tesla...

    Tesla charger - any known issues with occasional low supply voltage?

    So I'm still trying to get my charger installation completed. After chasing up the installers today (they'd stopped responding to my emails) I've been told they've 'done some research' and think that the Tesla charger will have the same problems as the matt:e box they supplied currently does...

    Booking for fixes to minor panel alignment tomorrow - what to expect?

    So I've got my first appointment with Tesla in Stockport tomorrow morning to get a couple of minor panel alignment issues (bonnet and dirver's side rear door) sorted following delivery. Just wondered what I should be expecting? Are they likely to get the alignment issues sorted while I wait or...

    Cabin temp vs seat heaters with 3 passengers?

    I understand that using the seat heater instead of the cabin heating is more efficient, but if the cabin is cold I find that my hands get a bit colder than I'd like and also, the windscreen and windows start to mist up so I really need to have some cabin heating. So I'm finding that while...

    Biometric authentication by phone as alt. option to PIN

    Just wondered if anyone has previously suggested having the option to use the biometric sensor on a connected phone to authenticate before being able to drive off ie. instead of optionally requireing a PIN. The problem with entering a PIN everytime is that it's hardly secure given that entering...

    Car trying to avoid a phantom on back road - which feature should I disable?

    Hi, I've had my M3P for a couple of weeks now and so far am generally loving it. In that period though I've had two seperate instances on minor back roads where the car appears to have tried to avoid something and I've had to intervene quickly at the wheel to stop it doing something that could...

    Reversing camera dead? Or some setting?

    Hi all, I noticed this evening that the reversing camera has suddenly stopped working, ie. blank screen except for the super-imposed wheel tracks. Is this something I've inadvertently done in one of the selection screens or does it sound like a fault? I'm guessing that it's a fault. It's on...

    Insurance and EV charger installation paid for by company - BIK for tax?

    Due to collect M3P tomorrow so am currently sorting insurance. Car is on a lease paid for through my own company so I'll be taxed on it as a benefit in kind. The car will only be used by me for SD&P with commuting, no real business use. Am I correct in thinking though that I can have the...

    Charging from standard mains

    New M3P arriving next week and charger install will probably take a few weeks to organise. My daily commute is 70 miles of mostly steady motorway traffic (around Manchester). I'm 'hoping' that 12 hours of over night charging with longer charges over the weekend from a normal mains socket will...

    Electrician in Cheshire to install Tesla charger - recommendation?

    Hi, M3P arriving next Wednesday (much sooner than expected) which has caught me out as I don't have a charger installed at home yet. A friend has a new Tesla wall charger to give me (he got it through referrals) so I just need to get it fitted in the garage. Can anyone recommend a suitable...
