)... Current car worth £30k. £15k outstanding on current loan. M3LR is £49k. Need to find £19k. Can borrow max of £25k on a loan at 2.9%. So need £9k plus charger install. Looks like I'll be saving up for a bit, which is fine.Have you considered the (was) SR+? That’ll save you £7k and it’s range has increased.Yes that is an option, though I'll need to save £10k to be able to do that (at least if my 3am maths are correct
. Got it hooked up to the granny charger at a massive rate of 8 miles an hour (dropped it to 8 amps). Could probably get away with 10A as the volt drop is only 0 atm
. I've got the app setup, and I'm going to setup phone access rather than the annoying card, but I can't figure out how to add another person, on the app it tells me I can't so not sure if it's due to not using the phone yet.
I didn't but I was looking into it last night, just seemed odd that even at 100% charge the car stated it had less than that range. Lol my app has just informed me the cabin is up to temp so will be nice and toasty when I go out to work.
). I just thought it might be a bit smarter, this morning I drove 16 miles but lost 25 miles range. I assume the journey of the difference is due to heating in the car and lights, but it would be nice if it were more accurate. Not sure I'd want to go with percent over miles though. The cruise and autopilot seem to be having a hissy fit though, however I've read it may be due to the usb device, in my case I've got a thumbstick in there and I've ordered an ssd as a replacement. I'm still sorting stuff out, it did that bit software update last night so I'm not sure if that reset anything. Kids enjoy it and had funny messing in it, told them it needs to stay clean or I'll get angry.)!) on the top of the sill which will need sorting, I’ll check the rest properly when I get home.
. Noticed the cruise control/auto drive preview thing seems to stop working about 50% of the time. Been doing some research and wonder if it's usb related. I've ordered an ssd just incase. Also noticed some sort of squeak from the drivers door so will see if a quick squirt of something gets rid of it. My range does drop quick though, I lost 25 miles driving 16. No obvious scrapes or bumps but I couldn't really check the car today as the pick up location was in a multi story car park so it was basically dark and its basically poured with rain all day. No doubt there is plenty of pre-installed swirl marks under all the water., I'm very happy with it overall.
I went over the car again this afternoon and it seems the chip was actually dirt and it had left the car by the time I'd got home.
I'm getting it booked in with a detailer for ceramic coating in the new year, I think I am going to avoid washing it until then.
The drive home was decent, auto pilot had calibrated by the time I got through the Dartford tunnel and I spent the rest of the near 100 mile drive home on auto pilot. The car had 40% charge when I picked it up, they suggested to jump on the supercharger there if needed but I knew better as the battery would have been stone cold. The car suggested I could have made it home on what I had but that would have meant driving pretty slowly and that isn't me. I stopped at the Colchester supercharger (V2) for a charge, got their at 7%, the car nicked loads of energy warming up the battery but when I got there it maxed out a V2 charger.
The auto wipers didn't really work until the autopilot has finished calibrating after that they were pretty decent. Auto pilot did well on the drive home, no complaints there. Not really much else to say which hasn't already been said about a Model 3, the launch off the lights in the wet was solid
It's now charging off the granny lead at a especially glacial 6A from the garage. The garage runs off the main ring from a fused spur, which also has a fridge freezer and a load of Christmas lights plugged into.
Have fun tomorrow @{SAS}TB!
