In a bizarre turn of events, Churchill are now covering my new MYLR (picking up today) cheaper than my old M3LR. I have tried over the past month to get quotes on their site with no luck. I was just about to pull the trigger on Admiral policy at a couple of hundred more than what I'm paying for...

Trading in my M3LR with Tesla on Friday. Do I need to leave the cables (granny charger & type 2) or can I keep them as spares?

Also be sure to vary your profession - there are usually multiple titles that will fit your role. E.g. "Consultant" or "Management Consultant". Knocked over £100 off for me changing the title (which still fits what I do). This industry really needs a massive shakeup

Quotes for Model Y for me are coming in a lot more expensive than my existing Churchill policy. Admiral coming in the cheapest but still significantly above where my current policy is. All in all very disappointing

Feb 28th - March 14th here, so another day difference!

still don't have a VIN in the source code but have had a delivery date window in my account now for a few days. Must have been matched for them to provide this window, you would think?!

Ordered this Monday just gone - 31st Jan

Haven't got a VIN yet, or certainly not in the source code. Saying 'march 2022' for expected deliveries on their site for new orders still so they must have a lot coming over!

Yep. Blue LR, white interior, induction wheels

Had my MYLR account page update today with estimated delivery window "February 28 - March 14". Order placed on Monday

It's fine, I wear jeans every day and drive every day with the white interior. There is transfer but it always wipes off with baby wipes pretty easily. Probably give them a wipe every 2-3 weeks. All good, seats still look new. Definitely don't let it put you off wearing jeans. The seats clean up...

I can't remember exactly but I think it improved a lot with one of the minor updates to .40. Probably around 3-4 weeks ago iirc. Before, if I drove 100 motorway miles, I'd typically get around 3-5 phantom breaks. I haven't had any phantom breaking recently

Done a few longer trips recently and haven't had any phantom breaking - seems to be a lot better with the recent software updates. Anyone else noticed this?

That is quite frankly appalling from Tesla. It's clear to me these are not stone chips, no stone chip would look like that. That's the paint peeling. If that happened to mine, I would be returning it / asking for a replacement under consumer law (I'm already contemplating this route for numerous...

I've had this too, auto-level seemed to bring them down a bit, I then nudged them each down 1 more notch, seems to have done the trick, no more flashing

Great news on the autopilot speed set! It's driving me mad when it keeps resetting the speed

Thanks guys, yes mine is one of the newer ones (delivery sep 2020). I have some glass water repellent on which could be making things a little worse (droplets clumping together into bigger ones). The problem I have is that the seal lip is usually filled with water already so there's no room to...

I know this issue has been around since the model 3 was released. It's starting to annoy the hell out of me with all the rain we've been getting. Every day, I go to open the boot after the car has been sitting there overnight and every day the water just drips straight into the boot when I open...

yep, factory wireless pad - working fine with iPhone 12 Pro

working ok on my 70 reg

White interior 100% and I can confirm it does clean up remarkably well. Just have a packet of wet wipes in the car, that's all you need to get blue jean stain off them.

really want this.. engaging TACC & autosteer is driving me nuts at the moment when it keeps resetting the speed

All you have to do is activate TACC to get regular bursts of hard braking ;)

has anyone applied a ceramic coating themselves? I was chatting to a neighbour yesterday who told me it's easy enough to apply yourself (just time consuming). Quite like the idea of saving ~£500 and doing it myself panel by panel. I applied some Meguiar's perfect clarity glass sealant at the...

Look how wonky the front number plate is on MA70! Another example of how they do zero PDI. Quite unbelievable they'd deliver a £40k+ car with such an obvious issue like that

definitely!

Love the ride comfort in my M3LR 18" - though coming from a Mini Cooper S where you really do feel every little bump perhaps it's not surprising it feels very comfortable.

Yes it's highly likely you'll get it November if ordered now. If they do come up with a car in the next few days you can defer.

Had a great week for waving.. must have had around 10 waves this week including one from another brand new white M3 (BK70) in Droitwich an hour ago! A great community

If the police are that bothered by them I would get a written statement from them along with their contact details and take it to Tesla and tell them to sort it out and if they believe all is fine, here are the police's contact details and they can talk between themselves. Given you've done...

Yes completely agree with the TACC speed changes.. so annoying! Scenario: I engage TACC on a dual carriageway, it instantly starts to speed up to 72 (+2 relative offset set). I reduce it down to 62. I then engage autosteer and the sodding thing shoots back up to 72! Hopefully they'll fix this...

Agree - they're so bad I had to turn them off auto. They would wipe away when it was bone dry (and I hate seeing the rubber get dragged across dry glass!) and go at full speed in the lightest of rain. Very frustrating

Probably will be higher in the coming months! My experience to date falls into the latter - and still no idea when I'll get it back as the wait on the phone for them to answer is absolutely ridiculous. I was waiting over 30mins yesterday for them to answer. Waited 40mins today for service to...

Yep.. a quick glance around on delivery day and almost all M3s awaiting collection had noticeable issues from afar. This (along with them putting in writing they will fix everything) is one of the main reasons I didn't end up rejecting mine - but I was almighty close to

Sorry to hear this but not at all surprised. What I am surprised by is your good experience with the staff at Birmingham DC - mine was largely the opposite, very poor I thought. Thankfully the Birmingham SC staff are much better in my limited experience so far. My defective M3LR has been in the...

Likewise! I quite like them now, they're better than I was expecting

Like the auto-wipers, they don't work that well. Most annoying I find is the high beam staying on when following another car, dazzling them via the rear view mirror!

Oh wow!

this usually happens towards quarter end, you can get some very good discounts as they sell on ~1yr old demo models. You can get around £1/mile discount, so you'd be looking at around £12k discount for a car that's done 12k miles. Saw a couple of these back in June, nearly got one but they go...

Birmingham delivery centre on 4th

Yes this appears on mine too - after some night driving last week I noticed in the rear view mirror. I haven't added it to my big snags list for today's SC visit but I might mention it. Not a biggie for me compared to the other issues with my car

Yep, they're giving me a loaner - would be quite nice to have a couple of days trying out an S or X!

There definitely seems to be some major QC issue with the bonnet/front bumper in this latest batch of cars (made July/August). When I collected mine from Birmingham I couldn't believe how the majority of cars had this very noticeable issue. So much so that when I noted it as a defect to the...

Hearing stories like this makes me dread getting my (huge) snag list fixed. It's booked in the Birmingham SC on Monday - when I spoke to them on the phone during the week I got a a 'wow, that's a big list of things'. After reading these stories, I doubt they'll all get fixed. To make it as...

mine was literally instant. He marked it delivered in the system whilst I was watching, then I force quit the app (on iOS, swipe the app up in the app switcher), reloaded and my car showed up

Talking of loaners, mine is going in next monday for a whole list of fixes that will no doubt take a more than a couple of hours. What's the process of requesting a loaner? No option in the app. Call them up and request in advance?

I experienced this too. I set it to early, when I went back a few hours later to check it was showing again as medium. I toggled it again to early and it now seems to have saved

this literally just happened to me, said there were 2 events, I got in the car and only 1 was recorded - which was me opening the door after spending some time loitering around the boot!

27 here and picked up my LR last week, bought through my Ltd which makes it more affordable ;) bumped into another new owner around my age the other day, so we are about! I have a few friends who are looking at buying too - these cars are particularly popular with software engineers/techy people!

Those of you who have ordered trunk cargo mats from our friends in China, how have you managed to get all the creases/folds out?! Mine arrived yesterday after a month in transit, it has been folded many times over to fit in a smaller form factor for shipping. Given it's spent a while like this...
