Yeah only reason I have one. Basically got a 43k pay raise at 0% tax rate, whilst saving the company over 7k in corporation tax. Win win.
Grant has reduced and BIK gone up slightly since mind.

The motors are electric so computer controlled therefore accel/decel control is inherent in the system. What you will notice (or not) is how unintrusive the traction control can be. Most of the time it's already modulated whichever wheel was losing traction before you can react.

I've noticed it kicking in a few times, mainly when one tyre goes over a smooth metal grate.

Yeah this is the only time I've noticed it, and only if I've put my foot flat down when moving off from a red light.

Has anyone got the official Tesla Model 3 All-Weather Floor Liners? If so, any thoughts on if they're a perfect fit, worth the money etc?

No, tho I've got the fabric ones. But I do have the all weather cargo mats for the trunk and frunk and if they're anything to go by then yeah, they'll be a perfect fit.

Sweet, nice one. Think I'll order them then.
The reviews suggest they don't cover the whole of the foot rest, so I didn't go for them

It was actually in the Man Jobs thread - post is here:

That was pretty much my exact situation. I'm sure I did get a slight 4 wheel skid going round a roundabout, not even going that fast but just felt like all 4 tyres just let go momentarily. I do have kumos on so not the most premium of brands.

I'm starting to notice it more myself as my tyres are reaching the wear indicator plus the cold roads of course. Might be able to try the Crossclimate tyres I have waiting before the ambient temp goes back up.

Good spot. That’d annoy me. I’ll keep an eye out for a deal on better ones. I will order the boot liner though as that’ll get a lot more use and looks pretty decent now they’ve finally revised the design.
EDIT: So I did place an order for the mats and cancelled it not long after. Order showed as 'cancelled' in the Tesla store account page.
Just received two DHL shipping notifications with different consignment numbers. Looks like one for the mats, one for the boot liner that I'd ordered today. Ah well, will see how I get on with them and return if I don't like them.

Put an order in for a Midnight Silver M3P. Time to make the shift to an electric car! Wait times have gone up a bit, it’s May delivery estimate at the moment.
Does it come with carpet floor mats? Wasn’t clear what accessories were included.

As far as I’m aware the Long Range and Performance come with mats, but I’m also led to believe they aren’t the best quality. I guess I’ll decide when it arrives if I need something aftermarket or not.
May is quite a delay considering when I ordered on the 29th (16 days ago) I was told “March” (app currently shows 3rd to 17th of March).
Midnight Silver was my 2nd choice, looks great IMO.

It went up this week. Not sure if Tesla are having supply issues or they are getting a lot of demand after VW, BMW and others filled their order books for the year and started cancelling orders.
Which colour did you go for? I was tempted by deep blue.

I went with red in the end. Blue looks fantastic online and lovely in the showroom, but dull in anything other than bright sunlight. Shame really as I fancied blue (then again, my last 3 cars were blue).

I don’t see many red Model 3s around. A great choice!
