Anyone know what the lead times on new M3Ps are at the moment?
Given it's end of quarter, you could probably get one today if you can get hold of a service center. Only half joking!

First red performance I've seen, love it. Would never have considered red before but will next time.

Thanks. Having it dechromed and rear window tinted soon. Really doesn’t do the red any favours the chrome whereas it works a treat on other colours especially the white.

The key change however will be colour coding to the door handles. Basically looking to copy Tesla’s own lead designer to do this (why they didn’t make them like this in the first place, especially when their own designers has it......)

He's lowered that too by the looks?

The 3 is a bit of a blank canvas really.

FSD has gone up now too.

Tesla Model 3 received New Car Awards 2020 from AutoTrader - UK's largest automotive marketplace.

The competition was attended by more than 100 cars, which were very thoroughly tested. All cars were rated on 16 different criteria, including space, performance, reliability, durability, features, quality, looks, costs, and much more.

This year, Tesla Model 3 became the absolute winner, taking first place in power, acceleration, economy, safety, performance, driving comfort, and ease of parking, demonstrating impressive capabilities.

Yep, definitely less room under those arches than on ours.



And Rob, MSM still the right choice. You just should have got the full P rather than the P-. smile

P- looking a good choice for depreciation. AWD prices seem to be hovering around the price of P- new.

I still made the right choice there too, literally couldn't get a full p off my drive without damage..

I think a p to the same spec now is $16k more than I paid here..

Prices have gone a bit crazy haven't they? If I'd signed up for my car in Jan 2020 rather than July 2019 it would be costing me an extra £5k over 2 years..

My friend’s just ordered a LR with the 19” wheels and has been told mid-August for delivery. Doesn’t seem too bad. Come to me, lovely free Supercharger miles. hehe

Ordered ours exactly a year ago and was told early September delivery. Eventually got it in December.

I'm sure things have improved since then though.. wink

How does the 3 compare in terms of handling and acceleration etc?

Quicker but in a very different way. The 4C fires you forward whilst being noisy and raw whereas the 3 makes it feel like a rollercoaster. I can’t lie, I don’t get the same buzz from it but it’s rapid progress no doubt.

One thing for sure I’d rather put the 4C seats in the 3 as the seats in the 3 are like sitting on a lounge chair and you feel going to fall off.

Yeah that seems to be a common complaint.

In the Performance at least I would've expected more side bolster support, but Tesla are not really an options company.

Sent a DM.

Don't order without a referral, it's free miles for both parties.
