Need thoughts on leasing

Hi all,

New Tesla convert here. Had my first ever EV test drive yesterday in a Model 3 (coming from a 1L manual) and it completely blew my mind. Now I can’t stop thinking about getting one.

Looking at a 2–3 year lease on a Model 3, but I’ll be moving house in the next few months. My main worry is getting hit with a much higher insurance quote at the new address and then being stuck in a PCH agreement I can no longer afford due to insurance (potentially).

A few questions for owners:

  1. Has anyone moved address while on a Tesla lease (especially PCH) and seen a big jump (or drop) in insurance? How did you handle it?

  2. If you do a trade-in with Tesla and get a valuation, is there a risk they’ll revalue the car lower closer to collection day because of extra mileage accrued in the meantime?

  3. Roughly how long is the wait from placing an order to collection on a Model 3 at the moment?

Thanks for any advice!

How to remove this window handle?

Hi - I have an old fashioned aluminium turn and tilt window stuck in the open position.

Window does not lock anymore with the handle (I heard a snap inside the handle when trying to lock it). I think it could be that the internal metal spindle is disconnected from the locking mechanism and the handle needs to be removed to reconnect it.

Does anyone know how to remove these handles? Thanks!!

Turn and Tilt Window Handle

Hi - I have an old fashioned aluminium turn and tilt window and the handle no longer works.

The window is open and it does not lock it anymore with the handle (I heard a snap inside the handle when trying to lock it). My own conclusion is that the internal spindle is disconnected from the locking mechanism and that handle would need to be removed to reconnect it. Handle works fine but does nothing to the window.

Has anyone ever seen this type of handle before on a turn and tilt window and know how to remove the cover? Thanks!
