If you leave your car with your phone on you and there are passengers in the car, the car will lock since you’ve told it you want to lock the car when you walk away (Walk-away door lock). The car is unable to tell if there is a person still inside, since the weight could be a package on the...

I had the same thing earlier this week, it lasted about 3 days and was quite annoying for the longer drives I made. Oddly enough, the issue went away after I washed the car. The cameras didn't look dirty, and the only message I saw on the screen was that cruise control was unavailable. The car...

My excess is £700, so I’d probably avoid using insurance in this case. With yours being lower it’s definitely a viable option. I’ve had the car for 7 months and have not ever switched sentry mode off. At home I have to park my car in a private car park which is easily accessible from the street...

I had this issue almost daily, and since I’ve had the screen replaced, it hasn’t happened once. It must be a bad batch of screens unfortunately. The service centre couldn’t replicate the issue when they had it in, however I had a video of PIN to drive not accepting any input and once I showed...

This is the exact issue I was having. It didn’t seem like a hardware issue as it would respond after tapping many times or holding on the middle of the screen. It really did feel as if it was going into some kind of deep sleep where it wouldn’t wake up instantly. It also would not happen if I...

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing. I’ve been quite alone with this issue and haven’t seen anyone else have the same problem until now. I have another Tesla service visit on Tuesday, this time it’s a mobile visit and they’re bringing a new screen with them. I’m slightly concerned it...

I’ve been having the same issue but mine is basically dangerous as it is happening whilst driving too. When it does happen the touchscreen will simply not respond to touch until about 5 seconds later after I’ve tapped. I requested service and it was in being looked at on Friday, but they...

This has happened to me two times in the last two months that I’ve owned the car. Holding the two buttons on the wheel to reset the computer and then waiting about 30 mins seemed to fix it both times.

I get free charging from work, and when I’m out and about I will use either free charging from Tesco or use the Bonnet app for 35p/kWh when I’m low and need to use public charging. I don’t even have the ability to charge at home as I live in an apartment, however the car is still saving me lots...

Oh noooo! I'm so sorry to hear that, I feel so incredibly upset that you've had to go through this. I remember you telling me that I stole your charge from Newcastle as I picked up on the same day as you. Don't let the scumbag who done this ruin your enjoyment of the car, they are clearly not...

I picked up from Newcastle last Friday and had a full charge. Screen was showing 99% on collection. Really surprised me as I had not asked for it nor did I expect it to be that high. I already planned on driving straight to the Washington supercharger after pickup, but I didn’t even need to!

Thank you Snowy! I hope you get your Model 3 soon too with minimal fuss, hopefully they can match you up with the same configuration to save the waiting! 🙂 Yes you will be 100% pleased with the colour choice. In person it looks even more striking, it’s hard to take your eyes off it! It was...

Picked up today from Newcastle and it is a stunner! What surprised me is the 99% charge the car had, contrary to what I’ve heard others say! The reps at Newcastle are really friendly and the process was so smooth I kept thinking that can’t be it! :eek: The build quality is absolutely...

Looks like the price has gone up for the second time in a week, another one since yesterday. The basic RWD model 3 with Aeros is now £45,990, that’s another increase of £2,000. So £3,000 more than it was a week ago. I feel so lucky to have placed my order at just the right time, with the...

I’ve been sent an email to sign some agreements from Tesla. I don’t pick up my Model 3 until 18th March, do I wait until then or sign now?

I find it very upsetting to hear about the audio situation. I have a sub in my current car and I was almost about to go for the LR just for the better sound system. I don't need the longer range or acceleration (my current car does 0-60 in 15.5 seconds, so this is a rocket in comparison), so I...

Yes! White on White RWD buyer here! I collect my car next Friday and this is my favourite colour combination, it looks the most futuristic and sets itself apart from other cars the most I think. :)

Wow I ordered in November and I pick up the car in 2 weeks time, it's been a long enough wait. I don't know how I would cope with waiting an entire year with the current RWD estimates. That's great to hear, hope you're enjoying your new car! :D I was a bit concerned about the acceleration after...

Yeah and it's a good price for what you are getting! It's unlimited data to use for YouTube and Netflix, which I can't even get on my phone without paying an extra £10 on my plan. Plus, the use of the live camera feed is worth it for that alone. I also really could not be done with the hassle of...

Just managed to change my delivery appointment date on the Tesla chat. Originally it would only let me select 15th - 17th March, but I've requested Friday 18th, 4 weeks today! Soooo excited, going to set a countdown timer on every device I own haha. I'm picking up a white RWD Model 3 with white...

You’re right, it looks like my delivery appointment that they set has been cancelled, how strange! It’s only letting me choose Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday though, so I might have to contact them to ask if I can pick up on the Friday. 🙂

Just received my delivery appointment via email and text for collection on 15th March! Oddly the text said to choose my preferred delivery date, however the email just booked the slot itself with no other options available. I would have preferred it to be on a Friday, however I'm cool with any...

Still waiting on my RWD confirmed delivery date text, which is currently estimated between 3rd March - 17th March. Would love to pick it up on a Friday as then I'd have a whole weekend playing about with it before taking it into work. :) Crazy that I will be picking up the car in just 3 weeks...

I’ve chosen the Tesla Loan option for my car due to be delivered in March. It was a lot cheaper getting the loan through Tesla than anywhere else and stretching it over 6 years made the payments very affordable. It basically costs me less for a new Tesla than a used £30,000 car if comparing a...

The car looks great! Thanks for the update :D But no data ports, really!? I'm really shocked to see this as I was planning on using the USB-C data ports for my music on a USB stick. I would rather have all of my music in once place, and be able to select what I want to listen to on the car's...

Just noticed my order now shows an estimated delivery date of February. I ordered a White "Model 3"/RWD with White interior in November. Back then it said a March estimated date for delivery, which is why I went ahead with the order, so I could get the 22 plate and sort out my finances in time...

I’m shocked Tesla is removing the USB data functionality, that’s something I was definitely planning on using as I still have all my music purchases in high quality on a USB stick. I also record DJ mixes and was looking forward to listening to them in the car without messing with the glovebox...

I have a Model 3 RWD on order which I ordered in November with a March delivery date. I still haven't been assigned a VIN so maybe it will arrive in March after all which I'm totally fine with. Really want that 22 plate and it looks like I will get it! I'm curious to see whether the range...

Ahh this makes me so sad. Was so happy earlier on to hear all Q1 Model 3’s would have the AMD chip. I’ve got the RWD Model 3 ordered since November when the estimated delivery date was March, and was hopeful I’d get the 2022 updates. If it doesn’t then I may hold off the car until the AMD...

I work as a full-time web developer and have to be in the office every day, which is a 40-mile round trip each day there and back. Currently in my ICE car it costs me around £180 a month for fuel. Add on tax and maintenance and it could easily be over £200. The Tesla is roughly only about £250...

Still saving up, and this bloomin' happens doesn't it. Feels like my dream is just even further away now than ever. This sucks so much. 😭

Yes, they said I would only get the discount if I was to pick up in March. The car would have been £44,490 for me otherwise as I chose the white interior. I didn’t get an option to defer delivery until a later point, though I really wish I could’ve. It feels a little unfair that they rushed me...

I wish I waited longer now before rushing to order before the price increase. I had planned on ordering the car around June/July but ordered as soon I heard the grant was being taken away to try and still purchase at the lower price. I saw the delivery date of May which I thought was a bit...

Ugh, I’m starting to have a bad experience with Tesla unfortunately. After paying my down payment for the loan and accepting the trade in value for my car and thinking I’ve got everything sorted for delivery on Tuesday, they’ve suddenly knocked off an additional £1,000 for my car trade in and...

I have finalised my loan details and have just received a delivery date of Tuesday 30th March at 10:30am from Newcastle. My car is currently in Southampton and is on route up to the north as we speak. That's a long way to go, I hope it's gonna be alright! 😅 I'm trading in my old car too...

That sounds like a good plan, I can certainly plan the supercharging to be on the way back from a 30 minute+ drive and when it has a low percentage. That way the battery would have time to be preconditioned and allow for the higher charging speeds. I was just thinking that the Fremont battery...

I’ve also got the choice between a Fremont SR+ with black interior at £40,430 and a MIC with white interior for £41,990. I’ve chosen to go with the MIC one for a couple of reasons… The range of the MIC car is a little higher so over time, any decrease in range will be less evident. There may be...

Same here, so chuffed to hear it. They helped me cancel my inventory order and refunded my deposit and put the discount onto my China-made white interior Model 3 ordered yesterday. Comes out at £41,990 instead of £44,490 as it was displaying earlier. Very excited now and I’ve had such a great...

Totally forgot about the heated steering wheel, d’oh! Was excited about maybe getting that in my eventual Chinese built Model 3. Is it really there in the SR+ cars though? The other drawback of the Fremont car is that battery range is lower. But I’ve heard the new LFP batteries can have some...

I’ve just been onto Tesla about my inventory order and was told that the inventory cars may still come out with the grant price included as they were registered before the grant was taken away. I also asked about the condition of cars with less than 50 miles and was told that they are brand new...

I saw the £37,490 price and thought I was so lucky, just went straight to order and only noticed on the order email that the price was £40,490 for an inventory. I’m not sure now what to think, is that a good price now for an inventory car considering it essentially saves £3,000?

I ordered this morning at around 7:30am and received a text saying the plug-in grant has been removed from my order as I ordered after 7:00am. It doesn't say anything about the price going up, but after talking to a Tesla representative, they seemed to suggest it would be going up in price. I've...
