Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

So apparently my M3 RWD will be arriving in Feb/March. Hopefully that will be the case as I'm ready to roll now. I'm 6'3 and we have 2 of the chunky rear facing child seats in our cars. Does any body have any feedback on space? The Kia EV6 is catching my eye and if Tesla keep pushing my order back then I'm thinking about other options. Any feedback on the space would be great please. I know I could visit Sandyford but that is not an option at the moment. One of the kids might be able to 'graduate' to the next type of carseat son which I'm hoping will be less bulky

Here’s a single booster seat in the back of my Model 3.

I wouldn’t see any issue in getting 2 big seats into the back of the car, but as was mentioned, this would mean the middle seat is unusable… (even with 1 booster in the back, the middle seat would be unusable by an adult).

Did a bit of driving during the Christmas.... The majority 212 Tesla's I saw were white looks like that's what Tesla are "pushing" customers to buy.

Most of the time is the only color available.... Many people have changed their orders in the last two quarters.

Also from experience white is the only color you can get at a reasonably fast delivery. I have an order open on a blue one since last August and it maybe available in march (7 months wait). I've gone for a different EV now as I don't fancy a white M3. No point in cancelling the M3 either now as they don't give deposits back.

Naa deffo don't agree there red is by far the nicest, no coincidence it's also the most expensive 😜

As an outsider, I sort of agree with that. There is a nice sparkle to the white, some of the other colours particularly blue look a bit dull unless kept perfectly clean. White suits our grey weather.

And do I remember reading the white is a better quality paint or is that a myth?

80km More range and faster when the RWD is a bullet already and corrected with the sound system, is that worth 15k (look at the on the road price not the one on the main page its just shy 50k RWD standard white and 65 for LR standard white). If you stump up the an extra 5k plus more on top of that for the performance you get extra's, wheels, trim & lowered suspension and even more poke (but little less range than LR but still more that RWD).

So performance would be a better option for a few quid more. No grant for LR or performance also so that one of the reasons for the big jump in price between RWD and LR.

Of course if a company car figures maybe different as not sure what the grant situation is there.

Any of the IRL Model 3 owners affected by the recall?

Did someone call you? I had a call today from Tesla but could not take it.

As white is the free colour you'll always see more of them, I was driving a blue stealth for 2 years but sold it in November and just picked up a black performance from inventory in December, be hard to keep clean but looks great after it's been washed

No I checked the VIN search tool and my car came up…..

It’s unable to tell without knowing why it is being recalled.

You should simply book an appointment and select the correct reason. If mobile service is available for what you have selected, it will show up as an option.

You will also get a text or call from Tesla beforehand and they will confirm to you whether you can use mobile services or that you have to visit the centre.

The recall reaosn on mine is cable may wear over time that would mean the backup camera stops working.

The mobile ranger was able to fit fog lights, I think my one will likely be a mobile ranger job from the description.

"Tesla Service will inspect the trunk harness on affected vehicles for wear. If wear is determined to be within specifications for the coaxial cable, Tesla Service will equip the harness with a guide protector to ensure a sufficient radius when the harness holds in a closed trunk state and prevent further wear."
