    Awaiting delivery of mine in June! Are the M3P cars now MIC?

    Check your front tyres today!

    ~30k. Rears still had a few mm to the indicator and I was expecting them to go first tbh!

    Check your front tyres today!

    I consider myself pretty diligent when it comes to checking the car, tread depths etc., but I'd somehow missed that the front tyres on my 3 LR, despite having loads of tread across most of the tyre, were on the verge of canvas on the very inside edges. I got a massive shock when parked on full...

    Norwich Service Centre, where?

    Good news that it's open! Really torn between 3 and Y for the next one, so will be useful if I can test the Y!

    Back end slipping/strange for some owners

    This could definitely account for slowing down weirdness, due to aggressive regen.

    Back end slipping/strange for some owners

    That's the problem, I can't reproduce it at will and to be honest, I hadn't really considered it was TC. I've had it slowing for a junction (almost at a crawl), pulling out of my drive and one other time I can't remember what I was doing. I wouldn't class either of those as situations where I...

    Back end slipping/strange for some owners

    Absolutely no way what I experienced was related to road conditions, I've been driving long enough, in enough different cars and had this car long enough to spot that it was abnormal behaviour!

    Back end slipping/strange for some owners

    I have actually seen this and wondered if there was a problem with the rear motor, a jolt or slip when I wouldn't expect it to at all. Maybe only 3 times, but very strange. Definitely not related to road conditions and only a recent occurence (I've had the car coming up for 2 years).

    Norwich Service Centre, where?

    I went to Chelmsford recently on my way 'down South' from Norfolk... lovely 250kW superchargers, but I was a bit surprised how pokey the actual showroom looks. Particularly next to the swish Merc garage! 😀

    Cruise control active if you aquaplane is a very bad situation to be in.

    Next to the new Porsche garage on Hall Road would be good 😀

    Gridserve Charger Sites in UK [megathread]

    It appears that Gridserve Norwich is now under construction, with contractors on site at the location near Broadland Business Park. Looks nice too, a bit different to Braintree, which I visited yesterday. https://secure.broadland.gov.uk/MVM.DMS/Planning Application/755000/755767/20201193...

    Wiki [UK] Holiday update - 2020.48.26/.30/.35.x

    Installed! Weirdly my release notes show .25 rather than the actual .26 installed, more evidence of the rushed nature of the update I guess. Not driven yet so I'll reserve judgement on the UI changes, but I'm very disappointed by the persisting lack of ability to just tell the damn car to...

    9V/10W USB A booster for wireless charging

    What an odd question. When I get in the car and my phone battery is low but I won't be in it long?

    9V/10W USB A booster for wireless charging

    Are the car's ports definitely rated 5V/0.9A? That seems very low for a phone charger. TapTes suggest the wireless charger at normal speed pulls 5V/5W (i.e. 1A), but fast charging pulls 9V/10W (equivalent to 5V/2A), which seems a pretty standard rate. All I can say is it fast charges my phone...

    I'm not sure how it's different to hubs or splitters splitting one port to multiple though?

    9V/10W USB A booster for wireless charging

    While ordering for a friend recently I spotted that Taptes now sell a 9V/10W USB A booster for wireless charging, at the bargain price of £7.66 a pair! I ordered them to use with my large pad as per the link and they seem to work great. Impressed! Link: 15W Wireless Charger for Tesla Model 3...

    M3 Refresh

    It's not clear whether the aero covers are still covers or aero wheels... thoughts? I prefer the old aeros (less 'sharp'), prefer the chrome, like the frunk hooks and have never had a power boot so don't care too much about that either! Heat pump and the extended range / performance would be...

    No home delivery. Car in Dartford

    I was told there's no delivery option, you come get the car. Was originally also Dartford but ended up at Heathrow.

    Voice control not hearing anything

    Same. Unrelated, discovered that generally it works better if you fake an American accent, and you can spell the letters of something if it fails to recognise!

    Plate fixing tip [Velcro heavy duty tape]

    In this instance, I'll just put the old plates on the same velcro so no risk. That said, in all my many cars I've never had velcro, tape or anything else damage paint!

    Plate fixing tip [Velcro heavy duty tape]

    The pack comes with enough to do 2 strips for each plate covering the full width, which pretty much covers the whole surface!

    Added bonus that when I change the car, its dead easy to put the original plates back on!

    Plate fixing tip [Velcro heavy duty tape]

    Like many on here I removed the stock plate frames and also put a private plate on. As with previous cars, I used heavy duty velcro, this stuff - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00186Q7XY This is not your average cheap velcro - your plate is not going anywhere and it takes some serious...
