Oh, was it a rental? I thought OP got a test drive from Tesla itself and was allowed to keep for a weekend
As far as I know Tesla don't offer extended testdrives but just threw the ufodrive here as a way to try a Tesla for a longer time. Another possibility might be a third party (2nd hand) garage that wanted to shift one of their cars in stock.
Thanks! I had heard of UFODrive before but always thought they were a luxury car rental and too expensive.
Looking at it they're actually pretty reasonable to rent a Tesla
If anybody is looking for a used Tesla Model 3 2022 RWD White with 4k mileage, PM me as I am looking to sell mine
Are you changing it for a PHEV?
Have we any tyre damage experts in the house? I'm biting down on the wooden dowel with this one...
Flap seems really thin fwiw
Pull the flap back carefully and take another pic.
If its surface deep only then should be fine, if its deeper than that then not so much.
When I was up in Sandyford for the open day last year one of the guys said that I could book a Model Y for a weekend long test drive. As far as I know, it's something you have to organise in person or possibly over the phone and is at the discretion of the sales advisor.
What did you hit?

How does the car run updates without premium connectivity? Do you have to hot spot it?
Or else connect it to a WiFi spot like at home or another spot it would be in for long periods
(How long depends on size of patch/update ofc).
For normal day to day updates yes but for essential or safety updates Tesla will push them to the car.
How do they do that without wifi?
The car has a sim card and is always connected via cellular. That’s how maps works, and how the car knows how many SuC’s are available at a particular site…
that’s how the superchargers work too…. The supercharger is dumb, but when you plug it in the car performs the handshake with Tesla HQ which then tells the charger to start charging….
likewise with the gen 2 Tesla Wall Chargers, if they need a firmware update, they get it through the car via the cars internet connection while plugged in.
Interesting, didn't know that.
Yeah, it’s a Dutch SIM card, so when you watch YouTube all the ads are Dutch 😂😂
Presuming I'll be able to log into YouTube with my premium account? I'm not a fan of ads.
Yeah, you have the option to log in if you wish…
Most important question, does caraoke work while driving? I know the family would really enjoy that :)
Yes
OTA updates are rolled out via WiFi, if WiFi is not available then eventually Tesla will roll out via cellular but you could be waiting.....
Yeah regular updates will only come in via WiFi, but if it’s a safety critical update they’ll push it to the car via cellular.
You saved my order, would have been a tough sale otherwise :)
