I kerbed my wheel in multi story 3 weeks ago. I decided to leave any diy repair it until the weather improves. Today I noticed the clear-coat had flaked off about 1-2cm from the damage. When touched the clear just continued to crack off. Does this sound like a manufacturing defect?

I am about to raise a service request mainly due to cold right (leg closest to drivers door). Any one else had similar experiences. I know I will be given the 'its nominal' sir. Which I will deal with at the time! It has cropped up several times on this forum with both the Y and 3 with heat...

As above. A post yesterday on the Shipping thread had Berlin cars inc Quicksilver paint and a few had chrome trim. Another example of "Oh! the UK will have what they get given?"

I ordered a lease Model Y dual motor LR for delivery April 2023 when my existing lease ends. Tesla texted me a few days ago to tell me it was ready for collection. The lease company told me "they do this sometimes!!". I believe Tesla might be off loading 2022 stock to the lease Co. I would...

Correct me if I am wrong but not many car manufacturers would have cars that are built to different specs parts, designs? but with the same 'model names'. Is there any reason why the Performance Model Y is £10,000 more expensive. The upgrade probably costs Tesla only a few £100! Power increase...

Ok, maybe It am late to the party on this but today I used AP in crawling traffic - activated from stationary....no nagging...at all....yay!

My employer is blaming HMRC for PAYE codes being changed incorrectly for electric car owners for 2020/2021 (was 0%). The problem appears to be that the online tax form p11d(b) incorrectly has no dropdown menu for electric vehicle. Selecting what was correct last year "other vehicle" leads to...

Recently I installed the TMC App and I wondered if there was a way to set a 'Home' forum as each time I open it I have to drill down to find this uk forum? Thanks.

Just realised that even with Mobile Access switched off (a common request from service centres etc. I.e. Tesla phone app, Teslamate, Teslafi all unable to connect, "Speed limit exceeded" still appear as notificatiins on phone. I assume other notifications may also get through.

My lease company, Zenith, seem to deal with Kwik fit and National Tyres, both of which will not even remove a wheel unless they have a tyre in stock to put on it! Neither will repair achoustic tyres because of the foam liner. I have a very slow leak 1psi/week. Should I care about the my lease...

Whilst watching Bjorn recently slating some HEPA filters I noticed him setting his HVAC to Auto recirculation. The Recirculation switch has 3 modes in Auto mode - On, Off and "Greyed out" the latter being Auto control. Took a while to see what Bjorn was actually doing.

Recently noticed that depressing stalk momentary action selects actual speed ( as preferred in menu) and holding selects the map/speed limit. Early days but this is useful when limit changes and tacc is at say a lower limit and you want to accellerate. Still figuring this one out but...

Sorry this thread may be related to another posted recently. The walk away locking seems to not be working. I am pending installation of 20.40.9 which may be the reason but be observant just in case. My wife phoned me to tell me she had locked the car!!!

My car 5 months old has been back to Heathrow 3 times for a paintwork issue. The above photo is rear o/s boot/wing. I have a very fine orange peel effect which appears to be in the clear coat. I am informed this is a form of 'sinking' of clear coat into the base colour. The issue now...

My car AP only stopped for a parked car whilst in AP. Is this normal? I don't think it has done this before and I do "test" these things like many of us seem to do!!

I just opened my Tesla app to be greeted with my car with no doors wheels or boot (trunk). I thought it had been stolen...

After browsing the mobile mobile App FAQ about loot box and referrals it appeared in top left of app. Well here we go... As a lease car this would have been nice from start.

There I was running out of range my GOM gone green to burnt amber and eventually multicoat red and I wondered what phrase you would use that is equivalent to the ice phrase "running on fumes" when the tank is empty?

I appear to keep getting conflicting info every time I speak to anyone from Tesla. This time I have variously been told: 1) you have to be booked in to get free charging, 2) there is a bug in model 3 which means you will have to pay even if you are booked in, And today... 3) model 3 does not...

Today I admit I ignored the Autopilot nagging. I was surprised that in addition to being punished for such lax behaviour by having Autopilot disabled, the lane 'drifting alarm/intervention' was also disabled (i know it can be switched off), but the following is a quote from NCAP...

Today I had a fairly routine visit to Heathrow Service Centre. Complete farce, wrong parts, wrong details provided to me. Another customer had similar experience. He was given Uber credits and left SC only to return to be told the Alloy wheel ordered was the wrong one! I was told they...

Did I hear a while back that we would be getting pot holes shown on the map? Is there anything out there which can report ( to the uk local council) with one click?

Last night my car warned me of a pedestrian,dressed in black, in an unlit area. Impressed as I had not seen the bloke wandering in the road. Now the not so good bit. Loud chimes look down at screen (is that a good thing?) Not much to see then i saw the vague outline of a person on the screen...

Anybody else experiencing delayed door unlocking. Thought l'd check.

I see Tesla have dropped the dimming mirrors. I must have missed this in their detailed specification along with Ambient lighting (i know Tesla like to big up their discriptions but that one is almost fraudulent). Anyway, I keep getting dazzled. Why is it all other manufacturers manage to...

Every hinge on every door of my freshly delivered m3p has damage consistent with being hit with a hammer and chisel. I have sadly seen this on other new cars (audi) so I assume it is a sign of alignment "adjustment". Anyone else experienced this? Would Tesla send me a touch-up paint?

Well, I suppose nothing is odd where Tesla is involved but why does my hvac start when I select youtube? Maybe the car thinks I am settling down for a while! What annoys me is I cannot turn off with controls at top of youtube screen.

I am collecting a lease car so no app connection yet. I expect to drive out of Brent Cross with enough charge to get me to a Supercharger...like 100 yds! But as a newbie I doubt it will prove simple. Any tips? Thanks.
