Looks like the 0% will also apply to the MY. Tempted to place an order at zero % finance. Push for Sept registrations maybe?

Thanks for raising this. We’re taking our newly acquired Mercedes EQE on a Spain / Portugal road trip this summer and was hoping to use our Tesla granny charger as a backup. I’m pleased to report it’s worked fine with the Merc. Phew - relief - as I was planning to charge where we are staying.

Got the same issue with my M3 within 2 weeks of a 3 year lease. Really annoyed at the beginning and thought the same - cheap Tesla glass - but the windscreen has been hit with a fair few stones without cracking! Nothing you can do - either get used to it or replace the windscreen. I’m privately...

I’ve discovered this first hand today. I’ve been thinking about terminating my 3 year M3 lease early for a while. I’m half way through my lease now. However back in December the early termination fee was circa £3k, today the lease company wants £4.5k. I thought it would have gone down not up...

Folks, appreciate my sentiments are from a M3 LR but I had the same issue with Vibration at high speeds when new. I had my wheels balanced, swapped and tyre pressures dropped. I’m pleased to say either I’ve gotten used to some vibration due to firmish ride or as suggested by Tesla tech tyres...

I’ve been meaning to get some bike carriers for my roof bars so thanks for the top tip. Wasn’t sure which ones were compatible with the Tesla roof bars.

Might as well add my thoughts - my X5 had an identical problem, called BMW roadside assistance, they were out within an hour, wheel off, stone out, job done. That’s roadside assistance.

We currently have a M3 LR and looking to make the move to a MY as we need the extra space and wife likes the idea of a slightly higher riding car. There are loads of MY LRs in inventory / in stock via leasing brokers but is there anyway in checking whether any have USS / check VIN. She is...

We currently have a M3 LR and are looking at ending the current lease early and taking on a MY LR as need some extra space the Y provides over the M3. There are loads of inventory MYs and some lease brokers have a fair few in stock too. Is there anyway in checking (the VIN no) if any of these...

Did the same and applied BMW protect - basically a branded GardX product. I bought the 2 stage kit on eBay for £15. Bargain - took me an hour or so to apply.

Just came back from France on the eurotunnel. I agree the single deck is much easier to navigate and where electric cars should travel. On my return leg from France they clearly didn’t care and I travelled on the double decker with normal cars.

I did exactly the same trip from Northamptonshire a few months back. I was fully charged when I left so only needed to charge on my return journey. You’ll need to come off the M23 and drive around Crawley before you arrive at the supercharger / service centre. The sales folks were great - we...

I received my white M3 LR in December and noticed in the last few weeks that the drivers side front bumper where it meets the front wing has discoloured compared with the wing - seems to have yellowed. The nearside looks fine however. I’ve had no repair done / damage and looking at a photo on...

Had a great journey to Normandy today in our M3 LR - stopped at the Folkestone Eurotunnel supercharger and had another quick charge at the aire de la Baie de Somme an hour or so sound of Calais. Loads of superchargers were available but non Tesla EV owners were queuing for the Ionity chargers...

Tigermad - might be worth giving Tesla a call again. Might be who you get on the line as opposed to anything else.

Just called Tesla and they activated the option to upgrade to premium connectivity. They did it in the back end - I had to log out and back in again for the option to be available. Don’t understand why some requests like mine are being actioned and not others. Tesla are going to be raking it in...

ALD advised that Premium connectivity was on an extended trial until now i.e the lease companies were not paying for this nor would I say the cost is included in the monthly lease cost. I’m just as disappointed as the next person but this is clearly Tesla maximising profits

ALD CS confirmed the option to upgrade on the app / in the car will only be available on the 1st May.

Last week I flashed my lights at a Model S heading in the other direction to warn him of A police speed check - he waved back not realising I was trying to warn him and saw him being pulled over in my rear view mirror.

For those leasing their Tesla’s via ALD, I contacted them today re the end of premium connectivity. The customer service agent advised she had been receiving multiple queries regarding this and asked the maintenance team to contact me. They in turn have advised that I will be able to purchase...

Good to know that it’s me not the car that is being overly sensitive to this.

Stock Michelin tyres and I’ve dropped the pressures to 42 psi to allow for a more comfortable car ride. To be fair it made no difference to the vibration 42 or 44 psi. But you are right on reflection - tyres are firmer when cold.

Maybe. Might explain why the vibrations are felt more during colder weather / temps. All tyres have edge correct pressures.

I’m trying to get used to it!! Strangely on some journeys you feel much more feedback than others - ie on warm days you feel less vibration than on colder days. Can’t work it out.

Strangely the vibration seems worse on cold days - last Saturday where the temp was around 18 the vibration was less pronounced. Can’t work it out. Good luck - mine is a lease so can’t sell it on before the term without incurring significant cost. Love the car though and would take another...

Yep - same issue with our Dec 21 M3 LR. Noticed the vibration instantly as soon as I took delivery. It’s been back to Tesla 3 times and apparently they have balanced the tyres, rotated tyres for flat spots and checked all the suspension components and advised all is in order and drives like any...

All - just wanted to get observations from M3 owners on the amount of road surface feedback that is felt on the steering wheel. I appreciate surface feedback is felt on all cars however it’s quite pronounced on my MIC 2021 M3 LR standard 18 wheels. Do you feel your M3 picks up surface feedback...

Maybe this might work - installed on the pan roof...

Yeah the angle of the photo is not great - the surface drops behind the camera drops off quite a bit.

So on our return from a weekend from Brighton we stopped at the Gatwick / Crawley supercharger. It’s on an industrial estate but is also a sales centre and despite them being in the process of shutting up they were great and invited us in to use the facilities and offered for us to stock up on...

334 miles fully charged today. LR 2021

Strangely I saw a 22 plate M3 last week with the old tailgate lights.

Likewise. I love my X5 - interior quality, refinement, ambient lighting, air suspension and presence and really is only used for the odd school run when my wife is not working at home or longer journeys. Saying that I plan to take the M3LR to Normandy this Spring. I’m stuck with the X5 for...

Yes likewise no issues here with my Sky broadband

Yes agreed you need to open a service request otherwise you will be waiting a long time. Mine got sorted 4 weeks ago - delivery was in December.

Thanks for that. Once I get the cycle racks I’ll get them on. Hopefully a quick job to take them off.

Got mine but not fitted them. Nervous that I might damage the roof. Also need to find some cycle carriers that are compatible. I think Thule do some that fit?

Seems Tesla strategy is to take over defunct dealerships that have close - Porsche dealership in Bournemouth and Norwich too. Keeps costs down. Surprised it is also a showroom - makes sense I guess. Thought Tesla was all about online sales.

8 supercharges also with a 24/7 lounge interestingly. Wonder what this will have other than toilets I assume? Does it make the camponile supercharges off the M1 up the road redundant?

My M3 was in at the MK SC sorting out some warranty issues - despite the long wait for an appointment the service was great. From the GoZero pick up / drop off to actually speaking with the technician that worked on my car. Those that have recently used the MK SC know they have been super busy...

Received a text when they were leaving Leicester to drop my car off. Look out for damage under the front bumper. My M3 was touching a metal T bar near the cab which resulted in some light marking / damage to the bumper.

Quick question - what are the issues you are facing for these parts to be replaced. Steering wheel vibration?

Gateway2lease are worth a shout - I’ve had positive dealings with them in the past.

Definitely agree

Received this yesterday also.

Spot on - same here. Tidal works well though.

They were advertising for technicians to join a new Northampton SC. Hope they eventually open one there.

Collected 19th Dec - lease - appears to be rolling

I had this issue when I was in last when they completed the work - was able to sign into the car again with my email address and password. Can’t remember how though.

Exactly - so I have a Saturday appointment so not to disrupt work. My wife had the idea we could make a day trip out of it and visit Stratford - nice place to spend a day. But yeah not really convenient.
