When I got my Y in Feb 2022 you could go to 1. but following an update the lower distance settings went to 2. so for me, driving on a lot of UK motorways, all it means that that Muppets undertake you and jump into the gap in front of you - arrgghhh!

I’ve been driving my UK Model Y since Feb 2022 and all was good until the Autopilot distance setting, since the last update, now only goes down to the number 2 setting. I’m regularly getting other vehicles undertaking me on the motorway as they think I’m leaving a big gap in front. It was so...

Check this subject out.... Creaky sound from windshield area

OMG! I thought I would be the only one with this issue! I have a right hand driver Model Y and in the first few weeks of having the car I had no discernable noise but over the last couple of weeks the noise became louder and louder. It sounds like old creaking furniture! It sounds like it's...

WOW!

I normally get my car's hard wired for my Cheetah (and dash cams inc a lightning cable for my iPhone) but I'm not sure if my local installer would be able to do it as I don't think they get any Teslas in (I plan asking tomorrow). I've currently got it plugged into the 12v socket and then I've...

Certainly. No infringement to the recline of the seat at all but also the seat backs don't touch the bar. My concern before buying was to do with noise (I didn't want it rattling) but the build standard and material quality is just as good as those I've had with various Audi's and BMW's parcel...

That's a valid concern so I'll keep you posted. 👍

Nope! :)

I never thought about that but what a GREAT call @wacwalker so thank you, I'm onto it now! :)

I did quite a bit of research before buying and I'm very pleased with the results. I felt I needed one as sometimes I carry quite a few sample cases in my boot but it also went against the grain not having one but I would say it has dampened some of the noise, not that there was much anyway. I'd...

It'll be a week tomorrow since I picked my Model Y up from Southampton and I'm absolutely loving it so thought I'd post some more photos that I hope of of interest and some links to what I bought... Wheel trims...https://rimetrix.com/product/laminar-black/ The 'not to be talked about' parcel...

Bought from Rimtrex as couldn't find them anywhere in the UK. Here is the link... Laminar Black - Set of 4 Wheel Covers then delivered via https://www.myus.com/ Bought in dollars in January but this is how it worked out... Wheels £235.43 Shipping £139.00 (took a week door to door) Total £374.43...

Honesty, I'd say to me, they look just as good. I'd heard disparaging remarks about the ride quality with the 20" but liked the look of them but also wanted the Long Range version Model Y so from a look point of view, the Rimitrex, to me personally, give it a WOW feeling so I'm really glad I...

Nope, never came with the car so bought it on Amazon... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B093VMR4WL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A1) Yes, I ordered with Rimitrex, going through MyUS. They did not have any in stock when I ordered, saying they would be in stock in two weeks (this was back in early January). They then came into stock and from that point it took only 1 week. A2) Not sure what you mean by that question...

My appointment was at 10am but arrived at 9.00am (I did a one way car rental from the East Midlands and it way quicker than I anticipated). At the first check-in downstairs they said I could do the 9.30am but when I went upstairs to so the second check-in (signing for the car), the sticker they...

Collected my Model Y Long Range today from Southampton, adding Rimtrex trims and Vynl plates that I bought in anticipation of its arrival. Shocking weather driving back to the East Midlands (10am collection but in reality didn't get to see it until 10.30am but worth waiting for!) The nice...

I paid in US$ as well but can’t remember what the rate was. I‘m hoping it wont be like rims in the 80’s or 90’s when they’d fall off relatively easily and people started securing them with cable ties! :eek: or heaven forbid, they get stolen! :confused:

I recently bought the Rimtrex Laminar wheel trims in anticipation of my UK Long Range Model Y. Rimtrex stipulates that they are only compatible with part number SKU: 00860004371328. With my Model Y coming from China, getting confirmation of the part number proved hard work with Tesla but in the...

Has anyone collected their Model Y yet? I’m all set to collect mine this coming Saturday (19th) from Southampton so if you have, I would love to see some pictures and get some feedback on the whole collection experience, plus find out what the percentage of battery at collection (I‘ll have a...

My slot is at 10am on the 19th. :) I was going to train it but it'd have to leave circa 5am from Derby or Loughborough via London then I was thinking of the Ibis as well but in the end opted to do a one way car hire from East Midlands airport to Southampton (£130) which, knowing the route well...

It’s very interesting to hear about your experience so thanks for sharing.

That's great advise and I'll make sure to do those checks as a priority. Thanks for taking the time to provide the information. It's appreciated. 👍

That'd be great. I can't wait to hear of your experiences. Hope it goes well for you. :)

Thanks for that, very useful information. Would you advise against just taking the car and then once home doing all the checking and if anything arises from that, booking it in at my local dealer (Notts) to get sorted or is it critical that you falg any issues on the day?

I'm collecting my Long Range Model Y from Southampton on the 19th Feb at a set time (via a salary sacrifice / Octopus lease, ordered at the end of October and have been issued with a reg starting AJ71) Can anyone let me know what to expect eg: How long will the collection take, how may others...

Just for everyone's interest, I signed a Octopus lease, doing a Salary Sacrifice, for Model Y Long Range in white with black seats (so all standard) on the 28th October 2021. Octopus have emailed updates pretty much every two weeks since, basically saying no news. But then out of the blue, I've...
