My car is ready, so will pick up tomorrow, which will be exactly 7 weeks since I dropped it off. I will be glad to get it back, but clearly dissappointed with how long it has taken and the lack fo communication. Been told there is no cleaning service either, so will see how if looks after...

I get the points made. I have a Model S 75D and Supercharging which is all good, but still miss my own car. It has given me the chance to test our FSD, although not sold on that, had more phantom braking on the S in a few weeks than I had on my Model 3 in 18 months. It is more the lack of...

Hi All, Wondering if my experience is unique or a general problem with Tesla service centres. Firstly, to get it out of the way, I love my M3 LR, so this isn't about having a go. However :) my car went in to the SC in Milton Keynes at the end of July and no sign of it coming back. The fault...

Having the same issue, was concerned about doing the hard reset. Booked into the service centre for them to sort out, just in case there is something else amiss which they need to sort.

We have a PHEV Outlander, good car, not super refined but practical. Would be nice to see it updated, looked the same for years. Will likely replace it with a PHEV or an EV

Liking the wheels as well, would you mind sharing some details thinking about an upgrade for summer.

The image from the camera image appears fine when I have the error message so suspect it is a sensitivity issue as it always is the left one, maybe a RHD issue in the SW?

Out of interest why the early settlement?

2020.40.4. Reboot randomly once, had to force reboot twice. Doesn’t know where the car is currently location is where it last rebooted and smart charging doesn’t appear to be working either (rebooted app and phone).

MIne was installed a few weeks ago and I switched back in February, all due to COVID Meters now aren’t working, after working on Go for about 48 hours, so god knows when i will have something usable. I really want them to be successful, for many reasons. But my experience so far has been...

Pay close attention next time the Lexus self charging hybrid advert is on TV. It states that it can drive up to 50% on battery, if you read the small print that is based on driving at 27mph. Based on that a M3 LR can do 600 miles. So I don’t pay too much attention. The same way I don’t hold...

Some good info on the Facebook Model 3 group. TACC doesn’t go away with the EAP upgrade if you already have it, which we do. I am tempted but with 4 years to go, that is £70 a month, I simply don’t do enough long journeys to justify it, as that is where you seem to get the real benefit. See...

This is interesting but it says TACC is not included, I think I have that already unless I have missed something. i.e. one click down. Seems bonkers not to include cruise control in a car of this cost. For me it is great in start stop traffic..

We had our meter installed a couple of days ago. It was the chaps first installation after the shutdown. All very smooth and they managed to do the gas meter as well (the last lot thought it was too much trouble so didn’t do it). I had an email letting me know it could be 14 days for...

Yes, the first Tesla I ever went in was one of the Amsterdam Airport Taxis.

At least I am not the onply one, I was beginning to think I had a speech impediment.

Depends on weather, speed, elevation, HVAC; bunch of factors. I think there is a psychological adjustment needed when moving to an EV. I have only done 700 miles so far, but never had to stop at a supercharger or any other charger. Just plugged in at home. If I was doing a 200+ round trip...

I have the full self driving but at £5,800 it is a bit steep and hard to justify unless I get a windfall from somewhere.

On longer journeys I likely drive more carefully and slower than I did in my ICE car, let AP do the work for me and its a nice place to be, so don’t mind it take a few extra minutes to get to where I want to be but the reality those few extra mph make little difference to journey time. So I end...

Wise words. For 95%+ of my driving I really have nothing to be in the least bit concerned about and for the 5% (or less) when I do need to think about it, I believe I will enjoy the supercharging / snacking / watch a bit of Netflix experience.

Someone better informed than me can make a more informed comment, but I can share what I played with in ABRP. I did make sure that I put in both details for the temperature and head winds (just looked at the weather app and used that as my estimate). I can't recall if you can input cabin...

I came here searching for this as mine weren’t auto high beaming, or whatever you should call it. Thanks

I thought I would share this with the group, with so many newbies like me on here, who may safer some initial range anxiety. I've had my M3 LR for a couple of weeks, but today was the first range test for me. Not a massive journey but about 160 miles round trip. After reading a lot I wasn't...

I had some quite bad wind whistling at around 50mph, put the windows up and down a few times, now mostly gone. The trunk lid lining was loose, catching when I opened the trunk / boot, pushed that back in on its latches and seems fine now, Apart from that on day 4 looks good but keeping a watch...

Picked up my Model 3 yesterday and took the kiddies to a party at a soft play area near home. Amazed at how all the boys recognise and are wowed by it. My lad of 10 is just into the “Sonic Mode”, not into cars. But can imagine he will be popular when I do the school runs. Closest I have felt...

Spotted heading north on the M3 today

I switched car to the M3 on my current insurance with DL, they gave me £16 back. Expecting to shop around when I have to renew.

Ditto .. got the same message. 40% is fine for me as long as they have enough type 2 cables for the number of cars so I can charge at home

LIke most people on here I have spent many hours looking at this thread and the great one on shipping news, even tracked the Cosmos on its journey. So thought it worth sharing my experience as it could help set some expectations. Long story short, the estimate I was given when I placed my...

Bookmarking, thank you

Got the text that I can pick my M3 LR AWD next Wednesday in Birmingham. I had the text last Thursday that my delivery would be in February. My guess is that the car will arrive from Belgium at Southampton on Thursday this week. It does say the date is subject to change but hopeful. I had my...

I have a delivery slot in Birmingham next Wednesday, M3 LR AWD in White.

No idea the time from a ship docking to customer pick up, not seen it mentioned elsewhere. I think everyone who is currently waiting can help. What I will do when I get my delivery date is post here; when I saw my vin, when I got the text, when the ship docked and when I heard about my...

Storms across the UK this weekend, hope it doesn’t delay the journey from the Netherlands to here.

A good number of people, including me, getting texts from Tesla about deliveries in February; so hopefully those patient people on here will get good news soon.

If you don’t have little Tesla pile of boxes and cleaning regime planned you are a person of great restraint

No change to the account at all. Hidden vin has been there for a week or two. I have a busy Feb and travelling, but I have a couple of gaps each week. If it is really late Feb I will push to March, but not too fussed about the 20 plate, I quite like 69 (insert your own joke)

Got a text from Tesla this afternoon. Great News! Your Model 3 will be ready for delivery in February. We hope to be able to confirm your exact delivery date in the coming days. If you cannot take delivery this month, please respond 'No' to this SMS. To unsubscribe from SMS, reply STOP...

My guess was mid-next-week when they would start to reach out, based on the ship arriving late on the 8th. Logically they would load cars onto transporters going to the different locations. It would make sense to pair at that point but feels like it will be luck of the draw if my car will make...

Red SR+ in inventory in Edinburgh if anyone is waiting for one of them.

Without writing war and peace, I nearly cancelled my installation and asked for my money back twice. I thought there installation team was off-shore somewhere as I would get emailed question at the end of the UK working day and then not get a reply for a couple of days, which would be another...

Thank you, I really should have googled more. I had better get one, as without I won’t be able to charge my car as I have an untethered charge point at home. We will see, just a bit more pre-delivery stress

I can’t believe after all the videos and forums I have read that I didn’t know the port was standard, I guess I have just seen mainly US videos with the proprietary connector. Thanks!

I get a year free with the Premium, well I think a better phrase is ‘cost included’, which I am ok with. Considering Tesla are a software company who make cars it is natural that they will move some things to a subscription model. Most of us on here do this already with Netflix, Spotify etc...

I read somewhere that recently they didn’t give the type 2 for free and it was something you had to pay for in the UK, which doesn’t seem right. But if anyone has had a late 2019 or 2020 delivery could confirm that would be super... thanks :)

I have a hidden VIN so called them up. Confirmed the car is on the ship, expected at the shop for collection mid-Feb to the beginning of March; so the same I have been told before. So to their credit the story hasn’t changed and what I was told a few weeks ago is the same thing I am being told...

You could try Twitter, often the best way to get to these people. My normal approach is to keep escalating until I get satisfaction. For UK companies it is pretty easy, search at Companies House for the directors, work out the email domain and drop them a line. Not so easy with American...

Just did a bit of Googling and came across this. Everything I read seems to suggest that the changes will go ahead as planned. We all know we can trust the politicians to do what they say :) Personally if this was my route I would wait for Mr Javid to say it out aloud before signing on the...

This is funny: Inspection Report Imperial Cars, useless by the way, never go there, managed to find an engine in an M3. There vehicle inspection report found lots of things that aren't meant to be there, engine compartment, exhaust system and fuel system. I am sure this isn't just the...

You make a good point about it changing at any time. Good money spinner for the Government to hike it but would be against environmental policy. But I don’t think they did that with the PHEV and they were a car tax fiddle.
