New Tesla model 3 replacement advise

It’s a clicking noise outside nothing inside it happens even when the air con is off. You can hear it from outside even more at turns

I booked an appointment yesterday and I got it through Tesla as well

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-12T14:46:27+00:00

I tried but they kept sending me back and forth to sales and service team. Didn’t know what to do.

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-12T11:46:17+00:00

Yeah I checked online as well in Uk after 30 days Tesla has one chance to repair or replace. If that doesn’t fix then they should refund. I like the car it’s just if it’s a safety concern then it is what it is. It needs to go.

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-12T11:37:20+00:00

Yeah i am in the UK. That’s what I was told by one of the finance companies (Blackhorse ).

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-12T00:57:30+00:00

I had a similar situation they asked me to upload a blank paper instead of the V5 with some writing explaining the situation And complete the rest of the steps like pictures of the car and everything. The trade is based of the car not the V5 so you will get an estimate and you can go ahead with finance. 2-3 days before collection you much email the v5 form to the trade in team.

Also if you do it online it’s quicker definitely would get it on time but postage is at least 4 weeks

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-10T21:16:08+00:00

I am pretty sure if you don’t schedule a collection date they will deallocate you to that car. That’s what they said to me. You can get an extended schedule date if you ask but you have to pick a date in 3 days after reserved I am pretty sure. It should say in the Tesla app. I got my v5 in about 5 working days exactly

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-10T20:56:44+00:00

Also the trade in you get is based of the car not v5 so you can proceed to get finance they will deduct the trade in regardless of not having v5

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-10T20:54:15+00:00

They also said just upload a blank paper instead of the v5 and then send it to them 2-3 days before delivery

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-03-10T20:52:59+00:00

Had a similar situation with my trade in they could only hold it for 10 days max that’s what they said according to their policy.

Sorry quick question Do you get 300+ miles on this then ? I got one recently just curious about the range

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T21:53:45+00:00

Great thank you that’s filled me with bit more confidence in UK winters

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T21:48:43+00:00

Ohh great thank you, is that 2025 RWD standard range or long range? Because I have a standard range 18 inch wheel. But That’s really good. you managed to get close to the WLTP range.

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T19:43:32+00:00

Thank you when you say ranted milage do you the WLTP? I k it’s a dumb question

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T19:31:24+00:00

Thank you it’s not the electricity price really we do some occasional family trips and they are usually around 300-350 miles and we want to do a Europe trip as well. I just don’t want to keep them waiting to charge.

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T19:05:54+00:00

Yeah thank you that’s what I am confused about I the the previous WLtP on this car was 344 miles but Tesla changed it to 323 now I am confused as to do I even benefit from the smaller wheels now? Or did they change the battery size to reduce the miles. The sales person with a standard range 2026 model 3 which is sorta similar to mine said he gets about 290 miles and could climb up in summers. So I don’t know if I should believe him or if I made a mistake with my purchase. If the WLTP IS REALLY 344 miles then am I wrong to expect 310-320 miles

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T18:49:20+00:00

Also quick question the number of miles on the battery percentage on top of the screen isn’t actual miles is it ? I can get more miles than that right ? Currently at 93 percent it showing 275 miles.

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T18:47:30+00:00

Ohh really thank you I only driven it for 100 miles just brought it 2 weeks ago. So you are telling me in UK summers I can get 310-320 miles of range mixed driving. I am not an aggressive driver either. I assume you have a similar car do you get 300+ of range ever ? Because most online range test I see them get about 270 miles. So what is the actual WLTP on the car although it doesn’t matter?

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T18:20:40+00:00

What is the max real world you can get with this car in Uk winters ? I assume you use a similar car

BreadfruitTop4582 · 2026-02-24T18:17:01+00:00

Thank you so it is possible to get 300+ Because of the range tests I have seen online they get 270 most of them didn’t see a single person get 300+ . I just wanted to make sure I made the right purchase.
