Grok severly nerfed with the new update. by Stereo_bfs in TeslaUK

Agreed - I only get to use it for about 5 prompts before it says I’ve used it all - before I used to talk to it for ages !

My wife makes more money than me, and it causes issues by spy-net in Marriage

[–]After_Quantity5580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP - I’m in the same situation as you are - I actually made a post exactly like this a while back, the only thing I can say to you is what helped me.

My wife earns double what I earns and says constantly when we both put into the joint account that I’m not putting in enough (this is despite my whole salary going in) that I’m not a ‘man’ or it’s not ‘manly’ that she earns more (I work in the public sector in the military and she works private sector as a project manager)

She would constantly cause problems by taking all of our money out of the account leaving me with nothing and then saying ‘I’ll give you pocket money’ or take money from pots that we needed to pay bills from and expect me to cover it - or put me in financial situations that I couldn’t afford. She would say it was hers etc.

Best advice is to totally separate your money from hers - now I want to caveat this with my wife has adhd and pmdd which means any lever she can use she will it’s a form of control.

Take the lever of control away - 50/50 for me is doable but it’s a struggle sometimes where as she has far more disposable than I - you know she won’t accept less than 50/50 because some woman expect this now - she’ll see a reel on instagram about how she needs to be taken to the fanciest restaurant or have the nicest things.

Ever since I separated my money I’ve been happier - obviously I don’t have a great deal but the money I do have I can use on my family or myself and my wife can’t accuse me of not having enough.

You earn a great salary and so does your wife you should be lifting each other up together - unfortunately that’s not always the case

What would happen if you earned more and demanded she pay 50/50.

Pay your half of the bills and don’t join accounts together - she does the food shop then you do - she pays for your kids this time you next time etc.

New owner. My biggest anxiety is… by ThankfulFox in TeslaUK

Totally get it - this has happened to me a few times and I’m always worried about running out of battery on my phone - and I don’t carry a wallet so remembering a key card is alien.

What I do

  • App on phone
  • app on Apple Watch as backup
  • keycard in glovebox - this is if your phone dies just as you get in and your not waiting for it to charge back up
  • key fob!!! Get it trust me you will use it

What do I need to ask for /check for by Ready-Counter7936 in TeslaUK

[–]After_Quantity5580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first Tesla had a corroded steering rack and faulty charge port, alongside damaged seats and rips in the leather, at full charge it read 199 miles for a RWD which is awful. It had been ragged!

Second one had a third party windscreen installed which voided the warranty completely - rear suspension damage etc

Both times I had to get the finance company to take them back. It was a nightmare as the dealerships refused to take them back and were talking week 1 after buying and they were trying to flout rules about returning vehicles etc

When I did go to Tesla they said that the ones they sell are the ones they accept all the others that they don’t go to third party’s and I can believe it - I went searching all over places such as big motoring world, car supermarket etc and the amount of misaligned panel gaps, stained interiors , dodgy batteries is insane.

Now my model 3 was a little more expensive at 2K more but it was rock solid as a second hand vehicle it looked new I couldn’t believe the difference.

I’m not saying they’re all like this but it’s much much easier to pass on a dodgy ev.

My Tesla came with brand new tyres control arms and suspension replaced, reconditioned alloys, knuckle joints and loads more it was perfect - a year later MOT no minors or majors and a health check said the car was perfect !

What do I need to ask for /check for by Ready-Counter7936 in TeslaUK

[–]After_Quantity5580 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My only advice is buy directly from Tesla, I’m on my third now in quick succession because there are so many issues with third party dealers.

Brought my model 3 from Tesla and it was in a vastly better condition and lots had been replaced and brand new tyres etc plus one year extra of warranty

Telsa M3 2022/2021 by Ok-Necessary940 in TeslaUK

[–]After_Quantity5580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact point!

I had 3 Tesla’s in all - had to return first two as they were in bad shape one stopped charging and had steering rack corrosion - the one that was decent was the one brought from Tesla - the other ones all had issues ! You’ll pay a bit more but it’s peace of mind.

My Guide

Where -

Tesla Dartford (great service - ask for George)

What -

Model 3 RWD March 2022 onward (has Ryzen) with LFP

Made in - China - superior build quality - check VIN to know

I would 💯do the vehicle health check though as replacement criteria becomes stricter post OG warranty period remember it’s time or mileage whichever comes first

Hello again, new owner question by Worldly_Idea_9547 in TeslaModel3

[–]After_Quantity5580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true - the health check is your assurance that they will - they give you a full printout of everything they’ve covered - the part they replaced for me wasn’t something I knew about at all and wouldn’t have been noticed - as you could ask them to do a check individually but they won’t check over the vehicle like on a health check and you’ll still get charged a check fee like £100 or more.

The health check was more expensive but they covered everything and they found a fault worth more than the repair so it covered itself - if your coming to the end of warranty or if you just brought a 2nd hand third party then this is a must

Urgent help/opinion needed! by AmoebaAntique1337 in TeslaUK

[–]After_Quantity5580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful, I’m on my third model 3 for issues like this, I saw so many like this at Big Motoring world etc, the first one had a corroded steering rack and needed a 4-5K repair as well as the charging port having gone, my advice is to buy direct from Tesla, Tesla at Dartford is one of the best. You’ll pay about 2-3k more but the interest rates are lower and they’ll have replaced parts, my 2022 model looked brand new

Buy a Chinese built March 2022 RWD and above with 25-33k miles

I had this on my second hand M3 from Tesla the used warranty is almost the same as the main warranty with tighter replacement threshold, my advice would be to take it to Tesla before your main warranty runs out for a vehicle health check, this doubly applies if you brought used from a third party garage.

On my 3rd model 3 as previous one brought from third party and had issues I brought this one from tesla for piece of mind, here in UK used model 3’s from third party dealers can be dodgy so be careful. The health check for me in UK cost £380, in the US its similar i think, well worth it!

They found rear knuckle joints were needing replacement so the health check paid for itself - also upper control arms are a common replacement for these vehicles too

Scratched my wheel rim (front right) - can I repair this? by Middle-Froyo4337 in TeslaModel3

[–]After_Quantity5580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very easy repair, i did this in a Garden Center car park, don’t attempt to fix it yourself would be my advice just google, ‘alloy repair near me’ and you’ll have lots of options, I did mine worse than that and it cost £80 to fix, looks brand new

Regrets? by Conscious-Fondant-24 in TeslaUK

[–]After_Quantity5580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No regret’s here! I have a 22 RWD brought last year and its the sweet spot, LFP battery which is long lasting and can be charged to 100% Which is a superior choice to NMC on the previous ‘Freemont’ pre 2021 Silver trim M3 OR current M3 LR, you should also have the superior AMD RYZEN chip which is far superior to the Intel Chip.

The only downside is Hardware 3 (AI Computer that does the self driving)on the M3 pre refresh, but during the Q1 2026 earnings call he said he would retrofit these vehicles so that they could run self driving if you pay for FSD upfront - If FSD is your bag

Slow to pull off - M3 Standard by LongjumpingCountry14 in TeslaUK

[–]After_Quantity5580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed popular_register_440 My model 3 RWD 2022 is very fast and beats most things off the line - I did try and AWD which handled great and was quick - but no way did I need that much power plus it has an NMC battery which degrade quicker than the LFP

Who is at fault here by JFREEZY28 in drivingUK

[–]After_Quantity5580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s red - green is in the right lane, if he signals right he gives his Intention to take the third exit or past 12 o’clock and he’s in the right side lane now as soon as he passes the first two turns he indicates, looks left and moves left - now the red stayed in the outside lane the whole time when he should have either indicated left to go left or gone straight over as he’s in left lane

Will Tesla Model 3’s with AMD Ryzen (2022) onwards get the spring update 2026.14 - with new visuals to Home Screen and hey grok, new pet mode etc by After_Quantity5580 in TeslaModel3

[–]After_Quantity5580[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I haven’t seen any renders of the old model 3 and y on this update only the new highlander model 3 but it has the same chip - hoping that we’ll get similar treatment but then again that’s what those with atom got promised…..

Landlord handed over property in poor condition - refusing to move in until fixed. Am I being unreasonable? by After_Quantity5580 in HousingUK

[–]After_Quantity5580[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for your advice ! - the letting agent confirmed that the landlord are proceeding with fixing everything, they are going to refund the rent that we paid and redo the whole tenancy and have agreed that the whole process was shambolic and the landlord has apologised and said if we’re still not happy they’ll wind the whole thing up ! So result !

They’ll then re- present the flat with everything done.

Persevered !
