    Took my LR AWD for a trip on untreated solid ice covered Donegal mountain roads.

    Aware of repair costs and its 1847 kg of mass and some basic physics about a body in motion I drove quite slowly but was very impressed by the road holding when driving up and down very steep hills.

    Question: Anyone noticed this on the booth of their M3?

    So the water in the channel in the rubber gasket seems ok, as this is basically what it's designed to do, but I was surprised to see water to the right of the gasket in the photo below, basically between gasket and the plastic removable piece.

    I went ahead and removed the plastic piece, and it looks like there is a trench in this, and there is no water under the plastic piece so I'm not overly concerned about ingress into the body, but just wondering if someone could take a snap of their booth and see if this happens also.

    Remove plastic piece, all dry underneath:

    I did, the traction control worked its magic really well and resolved any slippage well before I could panic.

    The back lights are an issue however and never defrosted for the entire journey.

    I’m buying a number of accessories for my upcoming Model 3 SR+. So far I have bought the mats for the front trunk, back trunk and the floor mats.

    Anyone knows if I need to buy anything else?

    Will I need a USB flash disk for the cameras/sentry mode? Does it come with the car or do I need to buy it myself? And any recommendation?

    Hi Sam. Is it for a 2021 model? If so it should come with a USB in the glove box for sentry mode.
    Also the frunk is smaller in the 2021 model. U should check that the mat is the right size.
    Can I ask where u purchased the accessories as I am on the look out myself?
    Thanks

    Don’t get a USB flash drive, get a high endurance micro SD card instead as it will last a lot longer (flash drives don’t last long when constantly written over)

    Get a wheel nut & centre cap cover kit if you want to remove the aero hub caps....

    Get a puncture repair kit and a compressor.

    One of the latest software updates is giving a warning that micro sd card that I was using for 10months with no issues is too small. So if getting one of these buy a bigger one like 128GB. You'll need a Micro SD card reader as well.

    I started getting that warning also (and I already have a 128gb card), so just went and deleted a load of old Sentry Mode events.

    The problem is the Sentry & Dashcam events are so large, with anything from 4 video files to 40+ video files for a single event...

    I get it for Sentry Mode where you might need the 5-10 minutes before the trigger moment to see what preceded it, but not so much for Dashcam saved events....

    Also with sentry/dashcam cards/drives, if using a wireless phone charger, and there's cables/splitters hanging around in the compartment underneath, they can get knocked around and unseat, and suddenly you no longer have dashcam recording!!! which you only realise if you look at the specific dashcam icon...

    Hi, yes it is a 2021 model. That’s great to know. I ordered it from Amazon just before Brexit deal read reached (so the exchange rate was really good at the time). I will check the dimensions and see if they fit.

    Had a chat with Tesla Sales today. He was just about to assign me a VIN on a Model 3 currently in Southampton when he messaged someone else to ask for clarification. They aren't assigning VIN's until they figure out what to do about Brexit.

    Also noticed the expected price change . Up E800 on the SR+ .
    But the price break down is still the old vrt ,vat ,grant . The lack of professionalism / organization is the biggest off putter for me when comparing tesla to legacy companies.
    Your just always in limbo

    Yeah was chatting to them earlier too. I ordered back in July for delivery ASAP in 2021.

    He was saying the operations team are currently matching people to cars and hopefully will hear more next week. He stressed that they are very aware of the VAT increase coming in Q2 and that they are planning to get the cars delivered before it goes up (but I reckon the government may extend this anyway).

    Do any of you keep getting text messages to "complete your order"?
    I do but dont see anything left to complete bar accepting the trade in valuation (sales man said I can leave it like that up to delivery).

    I did around November yeah - I rang up and they sorted it. Apparently no one had added the SEAI paperwork to my account even though I returned it to them in July.

    That’s probably the donor car that someone ordered last week, and most likely cancelled as it’ll take months to put it back together again!!
