That's interesting and seems like the real answer to this! Turns out US laws allow for more tinting on SUVs vs. sedans:

This site is so quiet now since the parking charges have been introduced, despite competitive price/kWh. I wonder if Tesla is aware or can do anything about it.

Just waiting for the Perf/Plaid/Ludicrous version! https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/2024-tesla-model-3-ludicrous-ev-leaked-143031/

Thanks, can confirm 45 minutes was fine with no need to do anything. "Free passage" smiley face shows at the gate on exit.

The signage says 30 minutes free. Can we assume if the gate opens, you're in the clear? Would you be prompted for payment at the gate if going over the free time?

Wonder if we would get the new HIghland Model 3 if ordering at the very end of this promotion, or possibly delay delivery a bit to get it and still get 0%.

My Tesla (22 reg) does not get recognised by the tablet either. Maybe I shouldn't have registered for smart parking.

Also many Tesla superchargers have WiFi if you are charging there, although you can't charge during installation

You can use your phone as a personal WiFi hotspot to do software updates wherever you have good mobile coverage, subject to your data cap. Once the update has downloaded, you don't need to sit in the car anymore and can let it install and walk away.

My bad, just looks like the usual peak/off-peak hours. That said, you don't get charged idle fees if the supercharger is <50% full. I have left my car plugged in to Westfield late night while at the cinema, for example, and not been charged any fees since I was the only one using the...

Interesting wording. "Overnight" implies you can leave your car overnight with no idle fees, which is not the typical use case for a supercharger.

I believe there's a mix of v2 and v3 superchargers there. They are not signposted but you can tell by the cabinet design and voltage label. I wonder if v3 is charging 66p and v2 34p. Last time I went it was 25p for a v2 150kW charge.

Makes sense. I guess there was a time in the past when you were charged for kWh added to the battery rather than kWh added to the car. With SuC you're now paying for your car's battery heating/cooling and other auxiliary usage, but not the Supercharger or cable's inefficiencies.

Is this still true in the UK? It looks like (possibly US only) they started charging for all energy usage in Supercharging a while ago. Tesla updates Supercharger billing to add cost of electricity use for other than charging

Update: Tesla Mobile Service replaced the rear overhead console unit where the sensors are. This seems to have fixed the issue (no alarm in 5 days so far) First time using service and pretty impressed. Conveniently arranged on app and done at home, free of charge and was complete in about 15...

The EO Mini Pro 2 works great for me. If you're happy with untethered (using your own cable), it is the cleanest looking one in my opinion - very discreet design.

Haven't tried but the thought did cross my mind. Will reserve that as a last resort if service can't help resolve the issue!

I can't see any spiders. The car is perfectly clean and brand new, but if it's not a ghost I don't know what exactly would be triggering it 🤷‍♂️ Perhaps there is a fault with the sensor. Previous Model 3s haven't had this issue, but I don't remember if they always had this sensor

FYI it was greyed out for me until I turned off Sentry, then it becomes a toggle you can switch off :) I'm assuming it is flies or spiders, but I have no idea really - other than nothing externally is triggering it!

It seems that the Tilt/Intrusion sensors are causing my car alarm to go off at night - apparently there are a lot of spiders, bugs and other things that like to move inside the car in my area. Disabling Tilt/Intrusion works, but then when you drive and come home again it re-enables itself. Is...

Mine says 393 kW though (I'm sure it's a lie 😅)

I've seen some members such as @milesr3 claim theirs has 3L + 3D6 motor: Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3? Have we seen the v5c to confirm this combo?

I keep coming back here but I think I'm supposed to be driving the car instead now 😅

Just got the V5C and it confirms E5LD battery

Cloudy pickup at Staines today. Car seems perfect, must be hundreds of Teslas here!

Saw an interesting video on a Model 3 that had been 'abandoned' for 2 years recently: Looks like there are no major issues from the software side, it had v10 and upgraded to v11 fine.

In my opinion Tesla price rises and long lead times are not going away any time soon, which all help to keep the resale values high

I suspect small business owners getting them tax-free is making them "too affordable". To a lesser extent, employees on salary sacrifice schemes. Definitely feels like you're being ripped off when paying for a Tesla with post-tax income.

Wow, those are the Zero-G Performance wheels included in the Track Package. I like them, but I imagine Uberturbines are slightly more aero/efficient.

I hope they someday bring back the original silver 🤤

Very lucky! I initially ordered 31st December and had delivery within two months in Feb, but wanted 22 plate so put it on hold... and it's now finally coming in June :)

Tesla does not give discounts. Even Hertz buying 100k cars did not get a discount and bought through the website the same way we do. Elon Musk confirms Tesla didn't give Hertz discount on 100k EV order, questions TSLA surge over it

Visited a few times before and there has always been one free; they are all 250kW. When the Tesla Service Centre is open you can also use their bathroom facilities. M&S food is walkable a few minutes up the road and left for refreshments.

License plate text received - Staines is LB22 :)

What's your delivery date?

Assume they are localised to delivery location, BJ being a Birmingham one 😆

Also curious about this. With the range they explicitly decreased it on the product page from 352 to 340 miles as soon as the new battery even had a possibility of being delivered; we haven't seen any change to stated 0-60 times.

Does the LG care any less about charging to 100% than the Panasonic, or is it still bad for it to do so?

Ok, you were right. 10th June not happening, I just got the text and scheduled for the earliest date -24th June :)

Collection scheduled for 24th June. Not 10th as I was hoping, but at least it's done :)

I also have no location visible. I can only find out by asking on the live chat.
