Yep, same here across the pond in England

Here you go - Model 3 Owner's Manual

Scheduling sentry mode - e.g. on at midnight, off at 6am so the flashes won't annoy the neighbours in the evening an I don't have to remember to turn it on when I go to bed.

Given how badly that's damaged, it's remarkable how happy it looks ;)

I did this as I pulled up outside the house on the journey back from having picked up my car :( Felt physically sick!

Useful - thanks. I'm going to leave it as the splash guards will hopefully be sufficient to stop chips.

Thanks @Cardo. I guess I just need to be a bit braver with the rivets; they seemed to stick halfway but I'll give it a bit more oomph.

Thanks @Medved_77. The flaps have holes so I'm assuming I need to remove the clips and guards, stick the flaps onto the guards, then reattach. I don't think I have a 10mm socket so may just leave it! Thanks again.

Picked up my MIC M3 LR last week. As others have said, front splash guards are fitted and mud flaps were in the boot. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fit the mud flaps. I've tried pulling out the two plastic clips that secure the guards to the front wheel arch liner but they...

Here. Near Old Trafford. I was on foot so caught the tram to Trafford Bar - 10 minute walk.

Yep, I did last Thursday. Really straightforward. Cabin in the car park where you show your driving licence and pick up the key cards. Then walk through to pick up your car.

Mine too - collected yesterday 4/3

Ha! My first supercharge experience yesterday was identical. Had to ask for help and she simply plugged it back in again - I felt like a total noob.

I picked up today and didn’t get free supercharger use, even with asking. But my app activated within half an hour, which may have been why.

I think it’s because the app registered so quickly. Try keeping your phone off until you’ve supercharged ;) Might make no difference though! Enjoy.

Just picked up my M3 LR AWD from Victoria Warehouse in Manchester. Checking the car over was somewhat hampered by the fact that it was REALLY dark in the warehouse, as well as loud from thumping music, but the car is in really good nick. Very few alignment issues - rear right light unit is a...

They haven’t installed it yet but SES have quoted me about £630 for the 7.2kW Rolec charger for fitting and install.

At times, this felt borderline inappropriate. Ever considered fan fiction ;)

Great pics! Mine’s inside somewhere; pick up next Thursday.

Is that a personal lease i.e. PCH? If so, I got a request to pay my deposit by wire transfer shortly after I'd scheduled a delivery date. That was a nervy 24 hours, sending a large deposit into the ether and waiting for it to appear in my account!

Mine's 166XXX too and I'm picking up 4th March. Would have assumed it's on GLOVIS CENTURY.

I hope it’s near the tram stop, given I’m on foot!

I've been told Trafford Park, Trafford Wharf Road, but that's a mile long. I'm assuming it's probably the Man Utd car park but a little clarity would be nice.

I pick my car up in two weeks on PCH. No payments taken yet but I can see a new DD has been set up for Ayden N.V. I’m grateful for your post or I’d have wondered who that was!

Ah of course. I haven’t been back to the sales site since ordering. Thanks :)

Me too though I phoned as I haven't yet discovered where the chat function is...

Thanks. I was wobbling on the tethered aspect initially - not future proofed etc. - but you've reassured me! Thanks agian.

Thanks for this; much appreciated.

On recommendation from this forum, I’ve just had a quote from Stockport Electrical Services for a Rolec EVHS2140 tethered vehicle charger (32A 7Kw single phase mode 3 fast charge). Very pleasant experience so far but it’s coming in at £632.80 after applying the OLEV grant. That seems high to...

Boom! Just received my delivery schedule text for Manchester - Trafford Park 4-6 March.

Thanks, Sabs. Non-advice noted ;) When I plugged the numbers into the calculator on the Tesla website, the overall amount paid over the 3 year term is actually about £1k less as you don't pay interest on the deposit. That's why I went with a bigger deposit.

Ha! Me too but I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that if it happened early on, they might actually owe me, given I'd have paid off over half the 3-year total payments up front!

Thanks. Now I think about it, it's hopefully not as bad as I initially thought. With a total loss claim, regular insurance would pay out their estimate of the car's worth at that point, and the finance company would probably want a no doubt higher amount plus my remaining monthly payments. But...

Thanks for this. I had found that page but, however, you'll see that the deposit cover is limited to £3k. I've put down a £15k deposit so my monthly payments are much lower. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now it seems odd to me that Tesla Finance would offer a deal that leaves you...

I'm awaiting a delivery date for a M3LR next month. I'm buying it through PCH (first time I've ever leased) over 3 years with Tesla Finance and, to keep overall costs down, am putting down the largest deposit possible (~£15k) so monthly payments are much lower. Obviously, regular insurance will...

I’m guessing/hoping that once they finalise the Manchester airport pick up, which presumably needs them to hire the site for a couple of days, then all of us Manchester types will all get texts at the same time. I got a VIN straightaway but I assume that’s because I ordered from inventory.

Any Manchester South deliverees got a pickup date yet? Mine is still showing as ’February’ :(

Is that only for inventory orders? I think custom orders might not yet be allocated.

Could the Tesla rep be wrong? It would seem odd to me that the VIN incorrectly refers to LiIon when it’s actually LFP. I thought I read elsewhere that only the SR+ has the LFP.

I’m colourblind, and that still looks awful.

It would make sense. Apparently they used somewhere just outside the airport in December as they could handle 100 cars, rather than the 20 they can do at Manchester South. However, I'm guessing that would mean they can't sort any problems with the car at pickup.

First time I've heard of Manchester Airport as a pickup though I'm sure there's plenty of space in the car parks! Too many cars for Manchester South to handle?

Ha, yes! I hope the AP is good enough for me to keep my eyes shut until I've left the car park.

I'm thinking of going with Leeds after all, as well. Thanks for the update.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Hi. Are you leasing through Tesla Finance?

Have you tried speaking with someone to change pickup to Manchester?

Will do. Thanks.

Living in Stockport, I was only given Leeds or Southampton as options at booking. Spoke with a rep who said he'd change it to Manchester. But I haven't received my delivery date yet so I'm not convinced...

Thanks :) I appreciate the advice.
