Clearly a software issue, I assume you meant it isn't a new software issue in this latest software train.

As you say, you should only really compare a whole quarter because last year they weren't delivering many vehicles in the first 6 weeks of a quarter - which has now changed somewhat this year. The reason YoY is only down 2.3% for the end of April is because they actually did deliver vehicles in...

Looks great. Is this made in China or Germany?

Not sure the parts took that long to arrive. My local SC probably just didn't have service availability until then and it suited me as I've been out of the country for a few days anyway.

This error came up on mine a couple of weeks ago. Raised a service request, parts order and fitted today under warranty - only took 30 mins but needs to be at a SC not a mobile visit.

That was the plan, to reduce the team size. It's just the Musk forgot his responsibilities as a CEO and fired the whole team to set an example to do as he wishes. Now they have lost all knowledge, don't have a clue what they are doing and will have to hire in new people (or rehire people on new...

They won't be putting another ICE on the road with an LC500 as it is no longer sold here in the UK - it will be an existing car with a different driver ;)

It’s a bit more fiddly with the M3, especially RHD ones but still an easy DIY task.

No, other than faster delivery. But it looks like all MYs for the UK will start to be supplied from Germany soon.

Very likely to be coming from Germany.

M3 RWD and LR now have a lower PCP interest rate. Not great at 5.9% but better than the 9.6% is was yesterday.

I don't see why - they are down 11.8% year on year for Q1 in the UK.

I doubt it too, it would need to be a tear to break the antenna that runs around the edge of the card.

There was so much backlash the last time they lowered prices in the UK that they may be reluctant to do it again. I'd certainly expect very low to 0% interest at some point shortly once the initial M3H orders are out of the way - and discounts for inventory vehicles.

Yes. All the first MYs delivered in Feb 2022 had Ryzen processors, so unless some rogue vehicle was then shipped it is safe to say they all have them.

I’ll preheat the cabin for 5 mins if it’s cold outside but I don’t preheat the battery unless I’ve charged fully and I’m going on a long trip. For normal journeys don’t bother.

Fluid going bad means it will have moisture it in which can start to corrode the brake lines and cause fade under heavy prolonged braking - MOT won't pick this up at early stages. Just because a vehicle passes an MOT it doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

They don’t test the fluid. It would have to be really bad for the fluid to visually fail the MOT check.

They might replace under warranty if the card shows no sign of physical damage. Otherwise you can purchase a pack of 2 at the online store, and I assume at an SC too. https://shop.tesla.com/en_gb/product/key-card I wouldn’t have thought the phone would damage it.

You will throw your Speedo/odometer calibration out by about 3.5% in doing so. It would also be deemed a modification by your insurance company as it isn’t a type approved size for the car so it would be recommended to inform them.

But it doesn't have Cherry Red which is also now available in the UK - this has been discussed on another thread, where it does appear the UK will start to get MY from Berlin - it is somewhat confirmed as someone in Ireland was told by Tesla their MY would come from Germany. Those two new...

If I force close the app the Bluetooth connections drop and I cannot open the door until I restart the app on my 2021 M3. I purposely do this all the time when I’m not going to use the car to avoid noticeably higher battery drain on my iPhone if I leave it running in the background. I imagine...

It's worse. Old M3 was 11.6m kerb to kerb, M3H is 11.7m.

Not Cherry red, only the new Ultra red. At this stage we don't know if China has been updated to spray Cherry red or they will come from Berlin. ATM no other countries supplied by China have Cherry Red as an option - which implies they could have switched UK production to Berlin.

Not sure. Quicksilver is available in China already but not Cherry Red. Either they are now going to start supplying UK from Germany or the China paint shop has been upgraded. We will need to wait for VINs to confirm country of manufacture.

By a small amount:

Not larger than the RWD directly preceding it, at 60 kWh, but larger than a SR+ which has a 55 kWh battery capacity. Only in the US I believe ATM.

OP's old vehicle at 340 miles implies it has a 2021 75 kWh battery, not the 79 kWh battery in the 2022+ M3 so there should be 20 miles benefit just from that.

I'm not reading the OPs question that way. Given he already owns a Tesla he would have knowledge that the range on the screen does not represent WLTP figures. I read this as his new M3 isn't achieving any real world increase in range over his old one, even though on WLTP's paper it should go an...

Given they cut production in China to 5 days per week I don't see them getting back to their quarterly highs.

Your battery is fine. Whilst Tesla need to quote WLTP official range predictions in Europe they actually use the US standard in the car which is a lower and more accurate estimation, although even that is optimistic.

This isn’t an exclusive Tesla charter and is stopping in France first so probably isn’t carrying 3,650 Teslas. Difficult to know how many there are aboard.

RWD? The LR has better materials.

This is a bad comparison because Tesla was very much about end of quarter shipments last year in the UK and not so much these days - need to wait for the end March figures to properly compare.

No, and cybertruck launched without any auto wiper functionality at all - although I think it has now got that with a software update.

This, and it is far worse resale compared to the latest generation of S / X - as they aren't available in RHD so if you want one you have no choice but to get LHD. But to sell a LHD 3/Y in the UK when there are thousands of RHD vehicles you are competing against - there needs to be a big reason...

Whilst not a legal requirement because it isn't a MUST, the Highway Code stated you SHOULD use dipped headlights in built-up areas. It is a legal requirement that you MUST NOT use any lights in a way which would dazzle or cause discomfort to other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and...

They rip bumpers or wheels linings off to get to the CAN bus at the headlights.

It's 6 to 8.5 GHz so it won't be great but you will get some penetration through objects.

The video showed fairly large roundabouts with the indicator buttons being in quite easy positions to hit. What about two mini roundabouts on top of each other or a staggered junction where you need to turn right and immediately left where the wheel is constantly moving and the indicators may be...

I’d agree that mastering a manual transmission is more difficult but once done you don’t need to take you eyes off the road to change gear. Pressing the correct indicator button that could be located anywhere on a 360 degree circumference does - it may only need a split second, and most of the...

Then all you can do is renew in Feb next year, and then potentially again in March if you want that final month.

I’ve got 425 litres of air in mine at the moment.

With standard rate charges coming down there is less margin, hence why it’s a fair assumption that export rates will start to come down too.

Yes, or shift as Timmo referred to it.

I believe the antennas are located at the top of the windscreen where the sun visors are, compared to the roof bar on the 2021-2023 M3s.

The one on the RSEV video comparing RWD with LR comes up as: which isn't an option when you try and select manually!

They do. Their certified range is with 18” wheels is 272 miles and estimate a lower range with 19” of 248 miles.

Unless the rules get changed to stop people delaying the tax increase.

Tesla's policy is not to give out ship names to customers. Sometimes you will get a CS agent that will tell you but they shouldn't really.
