    SMART (minor scratch and rents) Insurance

    The SMART or scratch and dent insurances are usually offered by dealers and resellers and they cost around £300-400 for 3 years or so. What they say is we can make certain number of claims (usually 4-5 a year)and they fix minor scratches (under 15 cm length) and dents (under 1.5 cm diameter) I...

    SMART (minor scratch and rents) Insurance

    I am considering getting a SMART insurance for my MYLR. I wanted to gather some thoughts of whether it is worth it? What do you think? Also if anyone has taken it, any recommendations for the provider?

    Spotify from rear seats

    As far as I have seen so far, there is no explicit login associated with the Tesla Spotify account that comes with the car. So I will have to either use the free account with ads etc. or buy a Spotify premium separately to be able to do that.

    Spotify from rear seats

    I am enjoying my MY so far. The only annoying thing is that passengers in the rear seats ask me (or the passenger in the front seat) to search for music in Spotify. Is there a way for passengers in the rear seats to control the music (specifically Spotify) themselves - either an app or something...

    Post your day one Model Y and Model 3 UK pictures

    Day 1 pics (Rimetrics will be on them on day 2) ... Collected from Southampton! Did 285 miles on day 1 and very much impressed. First impressions: 1. Ride was superb. 19" are much better than the 20" that I test drove. Having said that I did not find any fault with 20" as well!! 2. Autopilot...

    I did not ask but there were around 20-30 collections in the 30 minute slot. These slots are there from 8 Am to 7 PM (or 8 PM). So 500-800 (1000 is what I heard from one of the CS guys last week when I called them). I did however ask about the damage and one of the reps said there were a very...

    That is my config as well. I am at 8:30! At the first sight I thought the white one in the front is mine later realised there was just 1 letter different to mine (B instead of L)! Also that one is on 20"

    Model Y UK Delivery

    That is a very good point. I did that research before buying mine. That vibration/scuffing was there in the early versions of the M3 aero covers. Then they introduced the tape (which I think was done by someone and eventually Rimetrix themselves started supplying that) and the MY cover are snug.

    Did you manage to buy the policy with Admiral? I also had the cheapest (by a margin of just £15 though) from them on the comparison website and was not allowed to buy online and asked me to call them. When I called them, the agent said they can not insure unless the reg number is registered with...

    Cost comparison for EV chargers

    Yep, that is what he said in the survey. Since the distance is much less than 10m (~3m), it is classed standard install.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Expensive yes, but you get what you pay for I guess. I was clear on what I wanted black rims + 19" wheels. I looked at powder coating and other cheaper covers, but I felt nothing came closer to the quality and looks (subjective, I know!) of these Rimetrix Laminar covers. So I just went ahead and...

    I got them delivered via myus.com. They give you a US address and ship it to UK. The additional costs will be shipping to UK + import duty/tax.

    Cost comparison for EV chargers

    I am in Reading. The installer that Hypervolt put me through, I think, is based out of somewhere in Surrey. I must probably add that my installation is a straightforward install. The meter and consumer unit are less than 3 metres from where I want the charger.

    Did anyone look at/order good all weather floor mats for RHD MY? Either here in UK or from US? I have just ordered my laminars via myus.com. If there is anyone selling good RHD all weather mats in US (highly unlikely I guess), I am thinking it would be good to get everything delivered as a...

    White/White/19". Someone on the fb page with the same spec as mine said he declined because of the travel and 21 plate. Not sure if they transferred that VIN to me or a different one

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I've got a VIN assigned just now (I checked it around 7 AM today and it was not there then) with a delivery estimate of February 16 - March 02. Could it be that I was re-assigned a VIN from someone who declined or could it be the case of a fresh batch of cars loaded on to a new ship in Shanghai...

    Don't want model Y anymore.

    Exactly my thoughts! It is in fact true what the op said about carbon footprint when something is not used for certain amount of time. But that argument does not hold good here. If a relatively new EV is sold by someone, it will at the end of the chain only replace an ICE car (or will be bought...

    Do any of you offered the "special" delivery location have vehicles to be traded-in and if yes, do they take those vehicles in at those locations?

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I have been on call with Tesla earlier to find out why I did not get the invite. He said a very very very (he used 3 verys!) small number of orders were invited to the so called special events and that it is all random. He said it may be because I have a trade-in, I might not have been invited...

    Do any of you who got the texts have trade-ins and/or tesla loan? Just wondering if trade-in or tesla loan is the reason I did not get the text/vin.

    Like everyone else, I got the email to complete pre-delivery tasks on 7 Jan. My trade in valuation is done, agreed, applied to the tesla loan as deposit, all pre-delivery tasks are completed last week. I am probably getting restless because I have been waiting for the MY to be in UK for a long...

    I neither have a hidden VIN nor a delivery estimate still. It just says People who ordered after me (I ordered on 16 October), people who have same delivery location (Reading) and people with same configuration as mine (White LR, 19", white interiors) have been allocated. Is there a way to...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I am in the same boat as you! I didn't receive a single text till date. All the comms since the order have been on emails. When I checked my profile earlier today, I realised there was one digit missing from my mobile. I updated that immediately. Hopefully we will get the next text message they...

    I just rejected the original offer in the MY order. So my order was clean without any trade-in. And then submitted it in trade in page. At some point during this it will ask to login and I guess it will apply to the order that we have (I do not remember if I specifically said add it to this...

    Model Y back seats (calling test drivers)

    I had a drive in Model Y yesterday and in comparison with M3, MY feels more roomier. I can't give you the exact numbers (which I guess you can find in specs), but because of the seats being higher and much more leg room being available, there is more than enough space at the back. I even tried...

    https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/tradein The tesla trade in page (at least for me) doesn't seem to like if you are already logged in. It always gave me a 404 error. I had to logout and then open the page to give my car details and the login at next steps.

    My Trade-in experience with MY order: I did submit a trade-in request last Friday 9:30 AM when the email came in for preparing for delivery. The photos of my car were asked within the manage order and I uploaded them along with other details. At 4:30 PM, I got an offer of £750 (It was a 2009...

    Model Y - Test Drive

    Finally I did the test drive (the grey one) at Thorpe Park today. Just what I expected and more or less sums up what others have said on this thread and the other MY Delivery thread. Slightly hard suspension: Comparing with what I drive currently, 2009 Mercedes C class, the suspension did feel...

    I've done that on Friday morning at around 9:45 AM and I got the offer at 4 PM the same day. However the offer as such was a dud and I rejected it straight away. Getting much better offers from WBAC etc.

    Model Y - Test Drive

    Yes, Agreed. I should have said the only RHD markets for MY in near future :). Apart from HK, UK and Australia (and NZ), as far as I know there are no plans to take MY orders any time soon.

    Model Y - Test Drive

    Most likely it will be Shanghai. So far the only RHD market where deliveries have commenced is HK and they are all built in Shanghai. Australia and UK being the only other RHD markets, it makes sense to produce all RHDs in Shanghai - at least for the early 2022 deliveries!

    Model Y - Test Drive

    I have booked mine at Thorpe Park. I just hope it is a real test drive rather than a look, sit and feel type of LHD display car that was there at Westfield shopping centre last month!
