I'm a fan of the autoglym odor eliminator and interior shampoo with a little autofresh sprayed into the mats. when used together on an old fiesta it got a "wow your car still smells like new" from someone so I've stuck with it. Use very sparingly.

A decent list of changes (could take or leave the chrome vs black out) I really dislike that centre console/tunnel though. The old one is more unique, interesting, and better (once the piano black is covered). As someone that picked up in september, the only thing I'm a bit jealous of here...

No, all looks perfect to me! My guess is somewhere it doesn't make a full contact. After drying it yesterday and a night of wind/rain... It is completely dry. As far as I can tell there's no danger of permanent damage by a damp frunk, so I'll just add it to the (growing) list of niggles to get...

I'm also inclined not to worry and just leave it until I take the car in for the other niggles it had on delivery. Nothing of note, but a couple of paint errors and an annoying door seal "finger"!

Looks to be my first "real" issue in the car - to be fair it's only a month old! Bit of a bummer, but at least it's happening to a part of the car well isolated from the rest. I booked a ranger, but they've rebooked me into a service centre. Which leads me to two questions: 1. Do you...

Agreed! Glass hammer in the centre console, also has a seatbelt cutter. :D

I'm into tech and took delivery of an SR+ three weeks ago. So, my view - well the first batch of new cars will be a 70 plate so don't ask don't tell any future buyers right? Ignoring that, I'm still chuffed with the car. benefits of a mature manufacturing line etc (plenty of tech people buy...

If you can preheat at home anyway, it'll probably not make a load of difference - given that the SR+ is getting a 5% bump this seems likely. I wonder if some of the bump is coming from a change in battery chemistry and/or software. Difficult to know for sure, could be that in cold weather the...

The performance boost is showing the new times for current cars, so I assume the speed changes are software. I'd guess that the range changes are a combination of heatpump(?) and software.

I'm on 3 weeks and about 900 miles now. Really pleased with the car. Doing plenty of mileage with the SR+. Free charging at work was a bonus I discovered - quickly taken away by an awful attempt at a charging point - a single plinth with two 7kw sockets - both of which fail the second two cars...

Yeah, absolutely crap here too. When it hears, it works fine - but it will often hear nothing, sometimes throwing a poor signal error. I guess we should test it on WiFi and see if it could be a bandwidth issue? I figure there must be a lot of data flowing.

I'd be surprised if these were headed to customer hands soon. They need to send off a bunch for various crash testing don't they? My understanding is that the awful numberplate holders are there because they're the ones used for crash testing and a car has to be delivered in the same way. The...

This really killed my interest (as a competitor, I picked up my model 3 a couple weeks ago). Frankly with the supercharger network an SR+ beats most other EVs on the road, even those with 300+ miles to a charge.

No, though I just checked my messages (my phone is crap, being replaced tomorrow); I have a text from the day after I reported thanking me for dropping off my car, and then one later telling me I can now pick up my car from tesla service!

There's a couple of things I'd like to remove and one thing I'd like to add to my service appointment booked for October 19th. ... But it's showing in my history, with an invoice and can't be modified. I noticed on the morning after I reported a couple of paint issues, that my car went into...

Wow those VINs go up quick :D. I ordered from inventory at the end of August (it just appeared and was in transit, came in on the Glovis Sigma, I believe) and have a vin 776XXX Damn, better trade it in for an 800 vin!

It shows in the lootbox in the app. I've used SC miles a few times since pickup last week and it's working well. On day 1 I got >500mph, but over the weekend I found a dodgy charger that would only give 30kw so I've been using that one to save my battery.

Can you?! My appointment for the 16th October is showing in my "history" with an invoice of £0...

So uhm how do I not "floor it" when the road opens up? Like I know that technically I should just be able to ignore the pedal, but it speaks to me. Calling my name. Whispering.

There's quite a few Teslas around here these days it's great! I booked something in the app, just to get it there within the first few hours of ownership, though I guess if there was ever an argument over it the photos themselves will be geo/time stamped! Will email MK on monday to open some...

I have a couple of questions and a overview of my pickup experience! Picked up from birmingham yesterday and had an excellent experience. Great car and friendly people. I was doing a trade in so was worried that if the worst happened and I had to reject then I could be left without a car for...

Sorry to resurrect and old post, but any idea when this sc is going live? I've got a sc appointment booked for some minor cosmetic stuff and more than happy to wait until WB is open to save driving to the middle of Birmingham or Milton Keynes in the middle of an outbreak!

You will, most likely, be fine. I picked up yesterday from one of the final batches of the quarter. Other than a missing type 2 cable (rectified with an apology within minutes) and a handful of trim issues (logged on the app... I think correctly!) The car has been fantastic. As for the trim...

Collected today from Birmingham. Excellent experience and fantastic car. Nothing was noticeable at all at first, so that cemented that I'd be fine taking it home. After a thorough look around there are a number of minor trim blemishes/scuffs - some of which they took photos of at the time, and...

Thank you for your sacrifice, thus statistically reducing our chances of having a bad time (I never was good at stats). I hope the gods smile on me tomorrow and see fit to bestow a functional car.

Same here! First leave since September 2019 starts this evening

I pick up tomorrow too! Feels more like christmas than christmas has for 20+ years... I think the slight "what if I have to reject" anxiety is reminiscent of the "what if father christmas doesn't bring the N64" that I used to get as a kid. :D

I don't have my car yet (pick up tomorrow...assuming all is well) but can't log in the website or on the app. I assume it's a widespread issue and will be fixed...shortly?

Yes you can.

I pick up tomorrow morning. It does feel exactly like christmas. i.e. excited for the probability that I'll have an N64... but not 100% sure that I'll be getting one.

Sorry, I don't have any advice... but I gotta say I'm almost glad i'm coming from a fiesta where I won't notice half these things. o_O

I really don't think these are coming any time soon (i.e. 6months)... though at least with the newer frunk design you'll be able to "not tell people" that it doesn't have the heatpump... especially if a heatpump does arrive on model 3s before the number plate change in march. ;);)

I actually posted about this a few days ago. Turned out to be a relatively common problem - you'd think a simple verification would be done on tesla's side... but no.

Great to hear! My first pickup opportunity (from brum) was tomorrow, but had to shift to thursday due to them choosing the exact time of my only meeting this week (winding down to my first leave since September 2019... day 1 is Model 3 pickup day :D). I think it would be good to try to drive...

Most likely isn't. They build in batches and try to get as many people in cars by end of quarter, especially as two of those quarters line up with UK number plate changes tesla vomit cars our way in september and march. Also worth remembering that if it was rejected it could be for something...

I'll be picking up on Thursday morning and will post here my experience good or bad. There is definitely an overabundance of people on forums who either post because of a poor experience, or who have extremely tight tolerance for build quality. Maybe time for people to "pre register" their...

my understanding is that a home delivery has a bit of an advantage in being able to report any and all problems (lots of time to look over the car at your own pace) before driving it. Take a tonne of photos in decent light with a good enough camera that you can check later if you notice...

My interpretation of this is that they're are engineering prototypes to help synchronise production.

More to do with end of quarter.

Fair enough! All the automated systems are matching, but I'll still be phoning up tomorrow to confirm my pickup for next week (and hopefully get my reg number).

did you have to phone up for the Reg? I should do the same if so.

I didn't get a choice of dates, but did get a "your appointment is due on the X reply yes to confirm or phone [number] to change". Then after changing to Y, I got a confirmation text. Then a few days later I got another "our appointment is confirmed for the Y reply yes to confirm or phone...

I hope they give us at least a week's notice if this is the case, it'll be a bit of a bugger if my date is pushed back, but I'd guess it would only be for a couple or three days, so I'll still be on my annual leave (but with less time remaining to play with my Tesla!). No idea what ship my car...

Sounds frustrating! Are they atleast giving you a loaner while they sort it? I'm not too fussed about having the get a few things sorted, but wont be able to be without a car for a few days.

I gave up trying to get my ship to be honest. Ordered on the 28th August, got a VIN and delivery date (24th). Elected not to worry about anything else, except for reg, which I'll try to find out next week but ultimately don't need until the day of pickup. I've paid for my insurance with...

our cars are siblings! I'm picking up that date too.

Worth checking your mobile number in your account starts with +44 I had mine as 0 (obviously), but this was corrected when I phoned up asking for an update. Not had an issue receiving texts since. Why a software-heavy company can't figure that out automatically I don't know!

You are trying to have your cake and eat it, really. That 3k price drop is in exchange for the inconvenience of having to organise your life around taking delivery in September. Doubt there's much way around it since they are doing it to hit quarterly targets. You could wait until the next...

I've just had a few new documents vomited into my account, the pre contract agreement, lending agreement, and pre contract information. There are places for me to sign, but do I actually need to sign these or are they for information in preparation of signing on the day? I've not had any other...

I'm guessing with the last deliveries due in, they'll be fine tuning the delivery schedule right up to the last second to get the maximum possible deliveries sorted before the end of quarter.
