The car has a SIM card.
Yes. I’m logged in with my Turkish premium account.
Anyone have issues with the top part of the driver lumbar not deflating? (doesn't inflate any more than it is now either).
I've asked Telsa to have a look but just in case I'm missing something
Yep. I'm logged in with mine.
Another quirk. The eSim used by the car for premium connectivity is through the Netherlands. It makes a difference to the library available to you in Netflix, compared to the Irish selection - seems to have many more recent movies.
If its repairable, I'd also make sure that tyre is on the rear wheels. If it does fail afterwards, better at the back than losing your steering.
It was fine I took it to Best Drive and the chap said it's fine. He said there's a protective bead in the tyre wall, and the gash is very superficial. Happy days
Would that not be worse the back end flip out on at high speed? You wouldn't loose steering if a front tyre went and all you do is brake and pull into the side of the road.
Yeah I was assuming that driving would typically be at low speed. But in reality there are a lot of variables at play and my comment is probably pointless, particularly if the tyre is structurally sound anyway.
I'd agree a blow out at high speed on a rear wheel could potentially be more dangerous, especially as the M3 is rear wheel drive. But if it was on the front, the last thing you should do is touch the brakes as you could lose complete control as you would have unequal braking forces.
Either way, any tyre blowing at high speed is potentially dangerous regardless and you need to simply try stop acceleration and let the car roll in order to try and maintain direction.
TBH with modern tubeless tyres, blowouts are very rare. I've only experienced punctures resulting in deflation as opposed to blowout. The only 2 times I've blown/shredded tyres is offroading on harsh tracks (overseas) and even then it was a medium speed (>80kmh)
Looks like the partial premium black interior is a thing of the past for new M3 RWD orders.
Could be using up existing parts prior to refresh M3 launch?
This was free in Sept, can't see what has changed
Isn't the partial premium interior missing some speakers in the back, heated rear seats, some ambient lighting etc?
Is there much difference between the RWD and long range in day to day driving? Apart from the added range of course.
Far superior acceleration, which can be increased again with the acceleration boost. Premium interior with better sound.
AWD as well so superior grip in slippy conditions.
€40 gains back the front 4 speakers but the RWD does not come with rear speakers or sub, it’s the sub that makes the difference
How's that done?
What's the difference in interior?
Better/more speakers.
Lighting differences too I think. Footwell/ambient.
Kit arrived on Friday but not had the chance to fit it yet, I'll update when I do.
Data module for centre console arrived so, same scenario
Hi Folks,
I'm new to the forum. I'd like to find out how long it takes get a delivery of a model 3 standard range if I ordered one today, I tried to ring Tesla Sandyford but got a call back from somewhere in England. Would I be better off buying a 221 model low mileage for around 45k that I can see on Done Deal? Thanks in advance for you help.
Order one from them, it's only a €250 deposit. Chances are you'll have it within a few months.... there are always inventory cars going up, not to mention cancelled orders.. (I have a white RWD assigned to me that I'm not taking... and when Tesla finally accept this that car will go to the next in the queue).
Check the Inventory page a few times a day as cars will regularly show up there (cancelled orders etc, they would rather put them in inventory 1st in the hope of attracting an impulse buyer), and will be snapped up within minutes.... if you snatch an inventory car you could be driving it within 2 weeks.
How much for a set of 4 tyres for a Model 3? 18" standard wheels.
from Tesla it's about €1,200
I bought 4 myself online last summer from TyreLeader (Michelin Pilot Sport 4 235/45/ZR18 98Y XL, MFS, T0 (Tesla)) for €913.56 and had them fitted locally for €60
Thanks Andy. That's a pretty good saving there.
I am taking it that given the acceleration, skimping on tyres is not a good idea and therefore you simply won't get cheaper than that without a compromising safety.
Thanks for your help Andybobandy, sorry I don't know how to do the reply to your message thing where your message show up.
Noise and range are another 2 factors to consider as well as safety when replacing EV tyres.
Tyres are an ecumenical matter. I was thinking going for the Michelin Primacy instead of Pilot Sport for my replacements. They have lower rolling resistance, noise and have better wet grip. A bit less precise handling. As long as you don't fit some linglongs or other ditch finders.
