Looking to buy one of the above.

couple of stupid questions if I may.

Music ...does it come with bluetooth so I can stream through my phone or is it app based only ? If the latter what apps are available ?

Servicing.... it was serviced in November this year. Will it tell me a service is due or is it time/mileage based ?

Reading the thread on Kwh efficiency it seems 3.2 ish is likely.

Most of my usage is local so may do better than that. But when I go away on holiday I like to get to my destination quickly so traffic permitting would like to set the cruise at 75mph. In the summer would I still see that ?

Cheers

There is no service schedule with a Tesla Model 3. Wiper blades and the pollen filter are the only 'serviceable' items along with brakes and tyres of course. It's down to you to do a visual check on these things.

The car will tell you if there's another problem (such as a bulb failure) and you can either fix that yourself or book a repair using the Tesla App.

For small repairs and minor serviceable items, it's likely that one of Tesla's mobile technicians will come to you.

With regard to media. This should answer your questions:

As for kWh efficiency. If you're journeys are mostly local and you have set the battery regeneration to maximum, in Chill mode you should be able to get closer to 4m/kW. Motorway driving will reduce the efficiency and so long journeys at a constant speed will have a negative impact. And of course, the way you drive will affect your m/kW too in exactly the same way it would impact on mpg in an ICE car.

Easily. In the summer I can do closer to 90 and see better than that.
