I've read elsewhere that the base Model 3 now comes with heated rear seats and heated steering wheel as standard.

I noticed similar swirls, scratching and a little 'haziness' in certain light/angles when I collected my red M3 and I suspect a lot of this is how the car is washed or prepared prior to handover. I mean it didn't look BAD but it was noticeable if you have an eye for such things. I took the car...

Are you using a case? So far I’ve read that the wireless charger works if you’re not using a case, or upside down with a case

Apparently it wirelessly charges if you flip it upside down, haven’t tried it myself yet though

The SR+ supplied in the UK comes with carpet mats. This is now standard, it just seems the Tesla website hasn't been updated.

Yeah I noticed straight away, found myself using the brakes a little more rather than purely one pedal driving. It's not a massive difference, but I noticed something. Could also be something to do with the extra weight of the LR, perhaps the same regen force is being applied but it just has...

If it helps, I went from a June 2021 SR+ (LFP) to an August 2021 LR AWD and oddly I felt the regen braking to be slightly weaker than the SR+. I suspect part of it is the additional weight of the LR but it was a surprise.

It seems to vary based on how much the detailer charges for labour (as it's primarily a labour cost) and what product is used but I used a well established detailer accredited by GTechniq, the car was in for 2 days having GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra applied to the paintwork as well as a coating...

They’re tricky enough to get off, does take a wee bit of force but be sensible and try to work some of the clips off before pulling to release the centre cap bit but they will come off. If you plan to take them off, do it fairly soon after delivery as over time they scratch and damage the...

The first 1000 supercharger miles I got from referral showed up in my app immediately after handover, but I'm now due a second 1000 due to a second referral but neither of us are showing anything. No word back from my SA about it, but if I hear anything I'll post back

Same! I referred a friend (and it's always shown up in my Tesla app - it showed their name and 'ordered', which now says 'delivered') but neither of us have got the 1000 miles. I've emailed my SA to query it.

Picked up my LR (red, 19in wheels) from Belfast just over a week ago. No issues at all, seems perfect, except the bonnet seemed a little hazy with light microscratches which I put down to poor wash/prep prior to delivery I’d the car booked in with a local detailer who machine polished the...

Mine seems to be working as normal with 2021.24.4, the last two charges I've done (67-75%, and 30-90%) both finished about 35 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time

There's some pretty big speed bumps where I drive, I'm genuinely concerned about bottoming out even at stock. Definitely squeaky bum time going over them super slow.

I bought the upgrade expecting to likely refund before the 48hr trial window expired but I really like it - it’s obviously not going to completely transform an already fast car but I definitely notice it feels ‘punchier’ in general, mostly at the low end but that translates into a really...

Something I found interesting with the LFP SR+ I owned for a while, even at 100% I still had regen

Based on your order date you're almost certainly going to get a car produced for Q4. Assuming the same pattern of production/shipping/deliveries as for the current and previous quarters the first ships arriving for Q4 deliveries would likely land in the UK mid-November for first deliveries end...

My LR with 19in Hankook tyres had a tread depth around 6.5mm when delivered.

I ordered my LR while I still had my month-old SR+, and completed the finance application as part of the order process. Obviously the intention was to settle the SR+ finance prior to the delivery of the LR and my SA said he’d contact finance to let them know so it wouldn’t affect my finance...

Just be aware that if you have scheduled departure enabled with the ‘off peak hours’ set it won’t use any power from the wall outside the off peak hours. Not a big deal but just FYI in case you have the car plugged in and expecting it to use the power from the wall to run the A/C for cabin...

Having owned a LFP SR+ I think it was great to have 100% capacity available (research I checked suggested 2.5% battery degradation after 100,000 miles vs 10% on the normal batteries). Interestingly, I always had high regen even at 100% SoC

Personally I think PCP offers the most flexibility, to me the only benefit of the Tesla Loan is the lower interest rate if you KNOW you’re going to keep the car long term and plan to buy it outright. The reason I feel PCP is good is because you’ve got a lot of flexibility - you have the option...

The actual registration won't go 'live' with DVLA until you sign the paperwork on delivery. When you're insuring the car you can enter the registration but you'll need to just manually select the car as it won't find the registration.

That’s quite short! I’ve only really seen ones around 4.5-5m minimum. I imagine a few people having to purchase longer ones

Interesting! Seems they've switched to a new cable from the previous blue Mennekes ones

What charging cable did you get supplied with, is it the typical 4.5m blue Mennekes one? If not, could you share a photo?

Kinda! I'm fortunate in that I live close to Belfast and have a regular client meeting close to the Tesla site, it's been interesting as their yard has been practically empty all July and August, today was the first time I drove past and noticed some Model 3s sitting so called in out of...

Just noticed a batch of Model 3s have arrived in Belfast including my own LR so looking forward to the upcoming delivery. Unlike what @Techno-gym noticed with Brent Cross, the cars that have arrived have come with the typical Tesla number plate frames (empty, awaiting number plates) rather than...

Oh great, at least the old frame thing was easy to remove to put my own plates on, now I’m going to be sitting for ages getting those plates off.

I got my VIN as soon as I ordered an inventory car but it’s not immediately obvious, I just noticed it in the booking invoice that appears on your account

I think I might take mine to my local tyre place when I get it next week and have the torque checked. I have no idea about the tools used, are they able to set a specific torque? Or do all cars tend to use the same?

I read somewhere that you need to roll the Windows down fully before installing new puddle lights - can someone explain exactly why?

Doesn’t valet mode also disable access to the frunk? Just thinking in case they might need to open that as part of whatever work they’re doing

If you can do it online it’s quick, I’ve had about 4 V5s (long story) in the last 2 months and they all arrived in about 4-5 days

That’s my understanding yes, you’ll need to pay £80 to retain your existing registration, wait for the new V5 then apply your new registration. Bit of a long winded process but at least it’s all online these days

Don't be worrying, seems there's plenty of White LR in the Inventory so you're pretty much certain to get yours by end of Sept

With a VIN of 3215** I’d say it’s still in China but due to leave soon. Reckon you’d be looking mid-late Sept delivery

Surprised PAGNA has already left Southampton 2 hours ago, assumed it took longer to unload!

Mine’s VIN 2990** and I’m not due to collect until the following week annoyingly, I’m guessing they’ve built in additional time to get to Belfast

There’s a good chance of getting yours by End of September

You might need to wait until @Mr Miserable gets back, he's the resident expert

PAGNA has departed Bristol, next stop Southampton! (ETA 2300 11th Aug)

I'm 99% sure my LR is on that ship (given the delivery date of 25th Aug in Belfast). So close, yet so far!!

The page seems to be a bit broken currently, if you use the filters on the left to ONLY select performance, you'll see a load of them appear

Yes, you'd get it quicker as these are cars that are already built that are either already on a ship or ready to be shipped to the UK. Saying that, if you've already ordered and your spec is on the inventory list, chances are you'll already be lined up for a car as the inventory tends to be...

Wow, there's been a massive drop of inventory stock this morning - absolutely tons of SR+, LR and P models. I'm guessing these will all be mid-late Sept delivery, it's looking like a manic end of Q3 push for deliveries.

When I got my SR+ my sales agent only generated it a day or two before collection, seems to be up to them when it's generated.

That's pathetically low, especially for a £9.99/month 'premium connectivity' option.

64kbps?! Is this 1990?? I would have liked to have thought if you used a premium Spotify account it would increase the bitrate, I doubt this is the case.

I notice that PAGNA has made it to Bristol this morning. Looking at Google maps satellite view of where it is currently moored it looks like there are a LOT of cars there, clearly a place for loading/unloading cars - is it possible they will be unloading any Teslas at this port? Or are there...
